Student Government president Mike

Kathryn Johnson attended
ence on racial tensions at Pfei-
College in Misenheimer, North
I a November 28 through 80.
The College in the Changing
Booth; a consideration of the racial
tension confronting the Southarn
campus" brought together 160 sooth-
er n leaders from Virginia to Texas.
ft included both white and Negro
dents from about 75 institutions,
both segregated and integrated.
Planning for the conference, which
was financed by a Field Foundation
grant, has been in proceae for two
years.
The .purposes of the conference
were:
1. To bring together people of good
will to discuss problems arising oot
of racial tension in the Sooth;
To develop a fuller understand-
ing of the problems involved through
the interaction of fact and varying
"pinions;
3. To consider possible solutions of
a man relations problems confront-
ing the southern campus and com-
munity; and
4 To foster an opportunity for ex-
change of ideas between student
leaders who come from all parta of
the South.
The conference was devoted to the
illmuealon of problems and their ab-
lutions snd students did not engage
in legislative action, debate, or the
passing of resolutions. Each "P1!
pant represented his own views and
not those of his college or university.
"The conference was most success-
fulnot because we settled any
suesbut because we had such an ex-
cellent interchange of ideas. Vlaws on
integration and segregation wara air-
ed by Negroes and white students who
were for and against integration.
When we can talk to the peopln di-
rectly concerned in this problem,
it certainly broadens our concept of
things stated Kathryn Johnson.
Sponsors of the conference were
the southern divisions of the United
States National Student Association,
YMCA, United Studant Christian
Council, National Federation of Cath-
olic Students and the American
Friends Service Committee.

EAST CAROLINIAN
THWBflDAY, December U
Newspaper Criticized
For 'Net-Nice' News;
hw Press' Policies
This newspaper has received harsh crit-
icism recently from sources too influential
here to ignore.
A newspaper expects a certain amount
of criticism from students, perhaps from
administrators, teachers, and even outsiders.
It is not unusual for a newspaper to be
criticized for its editorial policy regarding
such things as politics, social questions, and
views on education.
But it is distressing when a newspaper is
criticized for printing news.
The EAST CAROLINIAN has been
criticized for printing news.
A newspaper, by definition, prints news.
X t just good news. Not just bad news. All
news. There are those who would criticize the
newspapei for printing news that is not en-
tirely complimentary to everyone involved.
These people labor under a false impression.
A paper only prints the news, it doesn't make
it.
Those who have criticized this paper
for printing news that is not wholly and un-
conditionally complimentary to East Caro-
lina College and all concerned, are basing
their criticisms on a one-eyed view of a news-
paper's first duty.
Those who have accused this paper of
not being a "nice" paper are wrong in the
first place to assume that a newspaper is
committed to print only nice news. If nice
news is made, it. is printed. If "not-nice" news
is made, it. too, is printed.
There are those who criticize this paper
for printing fussy letters from irrate stu-
dents. Yet those same critics fail to realize
that the EAST CAROLINIAN is the stu-
dent's only means of expression in many
cases.
Some go further in suggesting that the
editor edit the letters, printing only those
parts which are important, kind, or com-
plimentary to East Carolina College. These
people are dickering with freedom of speech
as well as urging the editor to act as a
censor.
When a newspaper becomes merely a
tool of self-flattery for an institution, it is
worthless. When a newspaper becomes mere-
ly a journal of sweetness and light, it also
becomes unrealistic, useless and an insult to
its readers. It ceases to be a newspaper.
If these critics want a flattery sheet for
this institution, a back-slapping brochure for
its student body and its administrators and
its instructors; if these critics want a paper
which will print only that news which is
comfortable, only those reviews which are
complimentary, only reports of winning ball-
gamesthen they should do away with the
EAST CAROLINIAN.
For, u long as the East Carolinian re-
mains a newspaper, it must remain dedicated
to printing news, rather than sops, and truth
rather than factionary illusions.

"The moving finger writes, and, having writ,
Moves on; nor all your piety nor wit,

translated by E. Fitzgerald.
By KATHRYN JOHNSON
Before the Thanksgiving holidays,
a group of students drew up what
they called a formal protest against
regularities in the recent activity
fee vote. An SGA spokesman stated
that an investigation must be held.
SGA president Mike Katsias said
the protest was not formal, merely
a scrap of paper. He claimed no in-
vestigation had to be held.
Elections chairman Carolyn Aycock
stated that even though certain
things occurred Which should not
have, no investigation had to be made.
An SGA senator called the oppo-
sers to the fee vote irregularities
rabble rousers. He claimed that the
things that happened were not new in
voting on this campus. Rules were
never strictly observed in voting.
"Why raise such a fuss about things
which occur ail the time he said.
A member of the administration
claimed that if we followed all the
rules too strictly or made rules too
strict, we would make it too hard for
the poll monitors and the students
who were voting.
Of course, following rules is hard
But we sincerely believe that rules
are not made to be broken. If they
are continuously broken then they
should be enforced or abolished. This
apj lies to all and any rules.
Perhaps we need a new set-up for
students voting. We need a system
that would not be too hard on the
poll monitor and not so much trouble
as to discourage students from vo-
ting.
We have a solution that would be
of little trouble to all involved end
would make voting simple, easy,
and valid.
Along with his identification card
each student would be issued a vot-
ing card. On the voting card num-
bers from about one to thirty (or
whatever the estimated number of
elections is) would appear. On elec-
tion day a student could vote any-
where on campus by presenting his
identification card along with hia
voting card. If he votes at election
number one, then a hole is punched
through number one on his vot'ng
card, etc. Each election would have
a number.
With this system no registration
would be required. (It is not required
now anyway).
We would suggest a new voting
rule. Ballots should be handed to the
student who has been cleared for
noting. Heretofore ballots have often
been placed on voting counters or
tables for the students to pick up.
Certainly it would be easy for some
dishonest person to pick up more
than one ballot. Even honest persons
are sometimes tempted when such a
ripe opportunity arises.
Sometimes students vote on impor-
tant thingsthe activity fee is an
exampleand such things affect
every student who is here or will
come to East Carolina. For this rea-
son we are highly in favor of our
suggested method, or any other meth-
od, which will assure valid results,
unquestionable results. We are not
just children playing around when
we decide matters such as whether
it will cost more to come to BCC
or not.
It might be wise to add that we
have not said or do not say that
there were irregularities in the fee
vote. Our only conviction is that
elections and all manner of student
voting should be conducted in such a
manner that the results are unques-
tionably valid. The person in charge
of the voting, elections chairman,
would never again be subject to
such harsh criticismcriticism for
things of which she had no know-
ledge, had knowledge, or for things
over which she had no control.
This year's election chairman has
done a creditable job. Up until this
past vote, we have heard no criticism
of any election over which she had
control. The voting policy of this
college and not Miss Aycock should
receive criticism. She worked under
conditions and policies set up long
before she took over her job. Ac-
cording to these policies and condi-
tions, she could have done no finer
job and can do no finer job until the
voting (procedures for this campus
are revised.

Don't Push, Shove Gently

People who have the impression
that the public can not get what it
wants are dead wrong. An example
of this is made by those of us who
grind out so often every hour those
little round tubes of tobacco and

A couple of years ago, as was and
still is the custom, some expert was
saying "it couldn't be done On that
particular occasion, the man in the

bacco men was that a filter-tip cig-
arette provided less tars and nico-

taste in the tobacco. Researchers, the
men in the laboratories at all the big
tobacco companies, occupied a limited
amount of space and operated on a
cramped budget. These men were a
necessary, evil in the business, not
because their findings meant better
health for the public, but because
now and then their discoveries sound-

by DERRT WALKER
Lung Cancer. That day the public
pulled the brake cord and the tobacco
world slid all over itself. The con-
sumer had decided to think.
What happened next was a revo-
lution in cigarette manufacturing. A
major tobacco company introduced to
the public a filtered "fag" that rose
to a leader in sales almost overnight.
Why? Because what "couldn't be
done" had to be done; the public had
said so.
So they changed the length, con-
tent, shape, and the weight of the
leading brands. They set up new
scales and principles by which the
little habit-forming tubes were made.
They brought the researchers, the
chemists, and the technicians out of
the industry's cellar and gave them
more gold and test tubes than they
had ever seen before. Tbia, indirectly,
the public had dictated by calling a
halt to tobacco sales.
Now, how did it happen? Again,
think back. Here was the public,
drifting along, zestfully, buying any-
thing and everything offered by the
controllers of an industry, joyfully
Calm Horses Obey Orders

The following advice was given te absolutely sure that he is sociable and
me once by one who is very adept
at giving advice of this nature.
Perhaps it will aid some of you if
you are ever faced with the problem
of "buying a horse

fat ones and skinny ones. Some
horses think they are people, some
horses know they are only horses,

buy a horse that invariably stands
alone in an obscure corner of the
pasture. He is probably an introvert.
Oh, but if you're an introvert, you
would do well to select that horse as
he would .robably make you happy.

they are people. These are rare, but

These animals (the ones of which I

can be real problems.
The surest way to tell if your horse
is stable is to put him to some very
simple tests. Simply deprive him of
food for a few days and check his re-
actions. If his temper is short at the
end of this period, and he seems list-
less and ornery, it is quite likely
that you have picked a fustrated
horse.
On the other hand, if he remains
cool and calm, obeys orders, and
retains his sweet nature, you can

Another tip in baying a horse: Be
For some reason they are under
the erroneous opinion that they are
better than other horses. This is
ridiculous naturally, but we do-have
some real problems with them.
They are easily recognized by their
arogant stance, and large dreamy
eyes which seem to be staring at
some distant point.
For the most ipart these horses are
unmanagable so We simply leave
them alone. We never tell them that
they are not people bat simply horses,

Then from somewhere, (maybe
from the dark at the top of the stairs)
a moving hand wrote a few words on

No more was needed. The publk
stood up and got what it wanted.
This is good. This is right. This is
America. Whether the public be that
of the nation as a whole, of a single
state, of a city or town, or the publk
in a college, it can dictate the product
to which it will subscribe. It needs
merely to stand up united against
whatever is incongruous with its way
of thinking, and modify or abolish it.
Without unity, the publk can make
no changes. Without stimulating
words, it will have little unity and
will, inevitably, buy anything

Dr. Gerald W Johnson, noted au-

Dr. Johnson appeared here Novem-

Dr. George A. Douglas of the social

Discussions here during the con-

the "intellectual climate" of the cam-

I've been informed that I was in error
a few weeks ago when I made the statement
here that this school belongs to the students
I've been informed that this school be-
longs to the state. And that the students here
belong to the state. And, further, that this
newspaper belongs to the state and is sup-
posed to expressnot the views of the stu-
dentsbut the views of the state.
Who am I to argue with the state? Me
and Boris Pasternaki.
I supoose the person who informed me
of all this reached such a conclusion logicallv:
since this is state-supported school, it be-
longs to the state. Since the students here
go to school on state property and use state
materials and are supplemented by the state,
they also belong to the state. The same is true
of the newspaper.
By the same token, I was also wrong
when I urged students to write letters to this
newspaper and make public their likes and
dislikes, their opinions and feelings on im-
portant matters.
Since this paper and all the students
here belong to the state, I can see now how
very full of error the EAST CAROLINIAN
has been this year. In fact, I wouldn't doubt
if this hasn't been the most terrible paper
this school has had in some time. This paper
has printed objective news and student opi-
nion. No wonder it has been criticized.
So, if I may, I would like to cleanse my-
self of my sins against the state here, and
make amends.
I hereby request that all students atop
writing irrate letters to this newspaper un-
less the material therein be state issued ex-
pression. (I suggest you check with the pro-
per authorities to find out what vou are sap-

many kindnesses have accumulated
into an immoderately sized monkey

Graduation Poll
Opinion polls were conducted by
the senior class last week in order
to discover whether the seniors pre-
ferred the gymnasium or the football
stadium as the site of graduation.
The vote was 63 for the gymnasium
and 203 for the football stadium. If
graduation is in the staduim, it will
be after 6:00 p.m. because of the
Southern campuses. And I'm told that
this de.lorable situation is caused by
the fact that Southerners are just
naturally naive and easily duped.
Well, if there's any truth in this, it
probably results from an ignorance
of the ways and means of Commu-

piece Varsity Band under the direc-
tion of W. D. Miller is now in the
initial stages of preparation for the
music festivities to come.
Non-music majors comprise the nu-
cleus of the band. All departments
of the college are being represented
by students who are taking part in
the activities. Mr. Miller cited re-
creation as the primary objective of
band. He added that the band
organized so that all students
of the college, regardless of their
major field of study, might have an
opportunity to participate. AH stu-
dents are encouraged to take part in
the activities of the band.
Music concentration will be cen-
tered around the light music and
some of the more popular music
than sticking to the classics entirely.
The band is concentrating on many
pieces of music rather than trying to
perfect just one or two so that more
.students will be encouraged to take
part.
Mr. Miller said that it is too late
to receive college credit if one wishes
to join the Varsity Band now, but the
course will be open for credit again
the spring quarter. He also said that
if the student's schedule was too
crowded to take the course, he would
still be welcome to play with the
band. Rehearsal for the varsity band

ficult time in contacting some of the
upiper classmen who were interested
in playing with the varsity band be-
cause their interest was not known
to him. "There are many students
who would like to play with the
band that have not been contacted.
They have not been contacted because

Chief J. I . Harrell of ECC Campus
police reports that the Student Sup
ply Store robbery which occurred
during the early morning hours of
November 17, resulting in a loss of an,
estimated $250 in merchandise, is no
longer a mystery, as the thieves have
been identified, the stolen goods re-
covered.
Four young Greenville men have
admitted their guilt in the crime:
Fred Chestnut, 22; Sammy Pollard,
18; and Perry Rogers, 16.
Chief Harrell states that this youth-
ful quartet drove onto the school
campus in a 1958 Ford and parked
at the East end of Wright Building
near the Training School. Leaving
Rogers in the car as s lookout, the
other three forced their way into the
main floor of the College Union via
j window in a restroom, after which
they gained entrance to the Supply
Store by prying two locks off sliding
windows at the front of the store.
"They seemed to want nothing in
particular Chief Harrell observed.
"They just helped themselves to
everything in sight; .pens, lighters,
sweaters, jackets, toy animals, neck-
laces, rings, etc. They stole twenty
cartons of cigarettes also, but we got
most of them back when we recover-
ed the- loot
Harrell commented that the identi-
fication of the vandals and the re-
covery of the stolen articles were
realized through cooperation of both
Greenville and Campus Police of-
ficers. He reports that fingerprints
were taken from the scene of the
crime which later matched those of
the suspects.
"The boys we caught were our
first suspects Harrell said. "I waa
suspicious of Chestnut when I re-
called his looting some cigarette ma-
chines oh campus last year. I heve
reason to believe he was the ring-
leader of the gang
After they were fingerprinted, the
four admitted the robbery, and pled
guilty as charged when they appear-
ed in Police Court last Friday, Har-

its.
Nichols Is Back
Veteran Pirate Club Expected To
Hake Strong Bid For N-S Crown
Coaoh Howard Porter, heading into
his twelfth season as head coach of
East Carolina College basketball and
the head mentor, has had some glor-
ious years in the Pirate Den; and his
1958-59 club may produce another one
of those good years.
Porter finds himself in the situa-
tion of having all his starters except
vm back from the 1957-58 club which
posted a 14-5 record. Along with the
four starters is a number one reserve
! nd an All-Conference selection in
19W who was forced out of action
tast season due to a shoulder injury.
With six strong men forming a
nucleus. Porter is ready to aim his
-runs toward the North State crown
once ag-ain. The big worry of the
veteran Pirate coach is his lack of
pth. Behind the "big six the club
is made up of untested freshmen and
sophomores,
Jes?t: Cttrry, former Portsmouth
pre star and a transfer from the TJ'
of Kentucky, heads the returning
starters. Curry broke into the North
State last season and his fancy play
at guard drew him All-Conference
.aurels, and also led the Bucs to one
of their most successful seasons.

'urry's biggest asset last season was
his play-making. The 5-11 guard may
Take a back seat this season as far
ai starting chores are concerned. At
the present time, Porter has been us-
ng him as a "utility man"playing
him at both forward and guard. As
ar as Porter is concerned, he is not a
'eserve but a number six starter.
Tke Riddick is one of the returning
juards. The Greenville native was a
regular last season as a sophomore
and averaged close to 12 points per
fame.
this season. "We are looking better
as a team. Our scoring is better bal-
anced this season and our defense
looks better than it has in some time
The Puc head mentor points to
his freshmen as "Big men" this sea-
son. "We are weaker than usual in
depth and will have to depend on the
development of some of our younger
boys. We hope that after nine or ten
games we will be a real solid team
I.enoir Rhyne is once again regard-
ed as the "Team to beat" by Porter,
although he rates Western Carolina,
High Point, and his Pirates close be-
hind.
Fast Shifty Elusive
Bucs Trip Two
Conference Foes
East Carolina used a second half
rally on two occasions to win their
opening games of the 1958 season.
Both tilts were conference games
and gave the Bucs an early lead in
the race.
Coach Howard Porter's veteran
club battled Guilford to a low scoring
first half in their opener but broke
things wide open in the second half
to defeat the Quakers 72-58 at Guil-
ford.
Charlie Adams, senior guard, led
the second half spurt and ended up
with scoring honors of the night with
21 points. Nick Nichols returned to
action after sitting out the 1957-58
season with a shoulder injury and
and pumped in 14 points to rank be-
hind Adams in the scoring depart-
ment.
Lanky Joe Plaster. 6-8 center, and
forward Don Smith proved to be the
big difference in the game as they

ness Riddick is also a good rebound
er. standing at 6-0.
Expected to handle the other guard
at is Charlie Adams, a Gary senior.
Adams was used as a reserve last
ason but has been a favorite among
FCC rooters since his first year as a
Pirate.
The chunky guard probably has
the "deadest eye" on the team. Since
pla ing for Porter, he has made many
outstanding showings with his favor-
te jump shot from way out. Although
weak on defense in the past seasons,
he is vastly improved in this depart-
ment and could easily be the Pirates
big scorer this season. The sharp-
ootei is a good bet for All-Con-
ference honors if he continues his
nsistant play.
Lanky Joe .Plaster returns to his
pivot slot. The Fieldale native has
rome a long way since his enrollment
here and is now considered one of
the toughest men off the boards.
Standing at 6-8, Plaster gives the
Hues plenty of height and he will also
get his share of points, especially
on tip-ins.
Forwards are no worry either for
Porter as he has sophomore Don
Smith ready for his second year as
a starter and Nichols returns to
action after sitting out last season
with a shoulder injury.
Smith, like Curry, hails from Ports-
mouth where he too was a famed
prep preformer. He was regarded
as one of the top freshmen in the
loop last season and is once again
tabbed as a mainstay on the Pirate
club.
Nichols returns for his fourth year
as a regular. The "blond bomber" is
aho a big favorite of the Pirate fol-
lowers. After reaping All-Conference
honors in 1957 despite a trick shoul-
der, Nkk was forced to undergo an
operation last winter and missed the
pntire season. After early practice
it is evidenjt that the tricky forward
hasn't lost his scoring touch.
Guard Dennis O'Brien and center
Jimmy Hall give the Bucs two more
lettermen but both have not seen
game action in large amounts. Porter
has a trio of freshmen who may help
him later in the season.
Dave Starrett, Charles Lewis, and
Benny Bowes are the yearlings with
a big future in Porter's plans. Star-
rett, a 6-6 transfer, will not be eli-
gible until afteT Christmas while
Lewis and Bowes, outstanding as
high schoolers last year, ar expected
to see plenty of action.
Center Guy Mendenhall and for-
ward Harold Ingram are the only ab-
sentees from last year's team which
mowed down all but five of their op-
ponents . With this materiel back in
the fold, things are once again look-
ing ripe for the Pirates.
Porter, never too optimistic, cites
that his crab is looking much bettor
a team which laeks height, tried to
control the ball in the opening half
and their tactics payed off; but they
were unable to cope with ECC's
height in the second half after falling
behind.
Catawba became the second ECC
victim of the season as the Indians
also stayed in close range of the
Pirates for the opening half but
were no match in the second period.
Nichols, seeking All-Conference
honors, t seed the scorers with 18
points and played a brillant floor
game. The Leaksville senior did not
see action much in the second half
as Porter turned things over to his
reserves.
Joe Plaster and Don Smith once
again proved too much height for
the visitors of Coach Earl Ruth. The
duo controlled the rebounds and made
many lollow-up points.
(Juards Jessel Curry and Ike Rid-
dick tossed in 12 points each to add
to the Pirates cause. Freshman Char-
lie Lewis was impressive among the
reserves. The former KinBton star tos-
sed in eight points.
East Carolina scored on the first
lay from scrimmage and then added
two more touchdowns later as the
Bucs gave Coach Jack Boone his
u.ost successful season since 1953 by
blasting past Guilford College 20-0
on Thanksgiving Day.
ECC, one touchdown favorites, won

ECC Foreign Students Attend Conference
In Virginia For International Visitors
Three students from foreign coun-
tries who are now attending East
Carolina College attended the Inter-
national Student Retreat at Williams-
httrfi Virginia. November 27-30. The
itti eat, the second to be sponsored
bf the Baptist Student Departments
of North Carolina and Virginia,
brought together approximately 150
international students enrolled in col-
leges and universities in the two
states.
Kay Rodriguez of Mexico and Al-
beit and Clara Kung of Formosa,
East Carolina students, participated
in the program at Williamsburg.
Two officers of the Baptist Stu-
dent Union at East Carolina were
among a selected number of Ameri-
can students who represented North
Carolina at the retreat. They were
President Carolyn Tripp of Green-
ville and George Peacock of Chad-
bourn, member of the Executive
Council.
The retreat program was .planned
to give the international students the
experience of an American Thanks-
giving observance, to promote good
fellowship, and to provide opportu-
nity for discussion of the Christian
faith.
Speakers included Dr. George Sch-
weitzer, associate professor of chemi-
stry at the University of Tennessee,
and Dr. Frank Stagg, professor of
New Testament at the New Orleans
baptist Seminary,
On December 14 at 0:80 o'clock at
the Memorial Baptist Church the
students who attended this retreat
will give highlights of the meeting

Graduate students soon may be
receiving loans and scholarships at
a cost to the Federal Government of
around $18,000 each, according to a
study of the National Defense Educa-
tion Act of 1918 released today by
the College Life Insurance Company
of America.
Married students with two children
will receive $3,200 in their first year
of study, increasing to $3,600 in their
third year. Moreover, the school they
are attending may receive an added
$7,600 from the U. S. government.
John Burkhart, College Life presi-
dent, observed that the legislation,
supposedly inspired by Sputnik, makes
sroing back to school most attractive
to the student but may place fresh
trains on an already foundering
Federal budget
He stated that many of the pro-
grams initiated under the act will
require greatly expanded future ap-
propriations. For example, the much
publicized student loan program
authorized the expenditure of $295
million through 1961 but only $6
million has thus far been appropri-
ated.

Firmness Stuns Khrushchev;
Blocked By Western Power
By JAMES M. CORBBTT
Gainer Commands
AFROTC Cadets
Thomas iR Gainer, senior, will
serve during the winter quarter aa
Cadet Group Commander of the 800th
Air Force ROTC Detachment on cam-
I us. Gainer now holds the rank of
cadet lieutenant colonel. He assumed
bis new duties December 1.
Gainer was designated in Novem-
ber 1968, as a Distinguished Military
Student, a citation which qualifies
the cadet to apply for a commission
in the U. S. Air Force. As a cadet
here, he has received a number of
honors, including the AFROTC Con-
vair Cadet Award, which is pre-
sented to a student who has shown
extremely high motivation for flying,
and the Outstanding Service Medal.
In academic work, Gainer is special-
izing in work in the department of
geography. He is a member of the
Pi Kappa Alpha social fraternity.
When Nikita Khrushchev announ-
ced plans to turn over the control
of East Berlin to East Germany and
eventually cut off supply routes to
West Berlin, he hardly expected the
Western Powers to unite so firmly
in opposition. This allied unity was
quite possibly the deciding factor in
his declaration of the June 1 ultima-
tum, thus delaying a final showdown
for six months.
It is an undisputed fact that the
Russian Premier possesses a fond
dream of someday controlling all
Germany. The Berlin squeeze is his
most outright step thus far in that
direction. His exact reason for se-
lecting this particular time to make
his .play is unknown, but there are
a number of possible reasons. Per-
haps Khrushchev felt that a crisis
in Berlin would serve to widen the
split between the Western Powers
which was started by the Formosan
conflict. There is also the possibility
that he hoped to capitalize on
France's preoccupation with election.
At any rate, when confronted with
an unwavering, united West, he elect-
ed to take a course less risky than
the one originally planned.
The communist boss realizes fully
the importance of gaining control of
West Berlin and driving out the
West. For one thing he would like
to be rid of the temptation the free
sector holds for downtrodden East
Germans. It is difficult to convince
his people that Democracy is bad
when evidence to the contrary is so
ubundant in their own backyard. Fur-
ther magnifying the importance is

the necessity of controlling Berlin
before Communist domination of n iorderln this here J- off the
Germany can be attained. Such com-
plete domination would result in un-
dermining NATO and place all Eu-
rope in jeopardy.
Regardless of the importance of
a communist ruled Germany, Khrush-
chev does not want to risk a war.
The stakes are too high. Neither does
he want to risk a backfire such as
the Communists felt in their attempt
to blockade Berlin in 1948. Therefor
the ultimatum due six months from
now was likely issued to afford him
a quiet escape route in case he deems
it necessary to tone down or drop
his demands.
Seminar Accepts
Application
For all college graduates who
would like a year of study in a Scan-
dinavian country, and for undergra-
duates who wish to study their junior
year abroad, the Scandinavian Semi-
nar is now accepting applications for
the year 1959-80.
While in the Seminar this is what
students will do: share in the lives
of two different families for a month
each where no English will be spoken,
learn a Scandinavian language by
the natural methodiive and study
in it; come together with Seminar

This plan has several advantages
besides the main one of getting rid

briefly. We need something; here at

Home economics students on cam-
pus will conduct their bi-annual pre-
Christmas bazaar today from 2:00
o'clock to 6:00 o'clock in the lobby of
the Flanagan building.
The bazaar is a project to raise
funds for activities of the school
term which are considered worth-
while by members of the group. Pro-
ceeds this year will be used for con-
tributions to Care and the Interna-
tional Scholarship Fund of the Ameri-
can Home Economics Association,
Christmas gifts to a needy family,
expenses of delegates from East
Carolina to the annual convention of
the American Home Economics As-
sociation, and other purposes.
Students participating in plans for
the bazaar have used their skill in
nomemaking in preparing for sale a
wide variety of items.
Offered to the Christmas shoppers
will be homemade candy, fruit cake,
pickle, jam, jelly, and other foods.
Articles for use in the home, include
a collection of aprons of many types
which will be on sale. Christmas de-
corations designed and made by club
members will be a special feature of
this year's bazaar.
A large number of home economics
students have assisted in planning
the bazaar and making the articles to
be offered for sale. Officers of the
group are Janet Powell, president;
Sharpn Iaughtry, vice preaident;
Glennie Ellis, secretary; and Barbara
Whichard, treasurer.
Josephine Hendrix and Edith Fits-
gerald are co-chairmen for the pro-
ject.
