After an hour long discussion and review of the situation which arose from the voting procedure in Wright I recinct over a month ago, the six members of the Advisory Board Council agreed that the election re- turns from that area would stand. Dean James H. Tucker, member of the Council, had this to say in re- gard to the decision made: "The is- sue was, more or less, whether the election would hold or not. On the basis of the information we had, we were compelled to move as we did. We realize that election proceduies, in a school or in a city, may be de- ficient; therefore, we recommend, ul- timately, that the SGA examine more closely any affairs involving a bal- lot-box, and attempt, from now on, to see if improvements can be made The Dean of Men further com- mented, "The young men who were active in the protest, Harper and Ragan, are to be commended for their efforts.

The disagreement is con- sidered by many sources one of the more s. ectacular incidents in ECC politics. When asked his views of the Coun- cil's decision, Fred Ragan said, "From the beginning, we wanted to attack no one individual personally. Our idea was to bring a few unpleasant facts into the cold light of reason. We weren't set on having the entire "lettion voided, merely to improve rhe method by which our decisions by 1 ailot are made. We feel we gained BMCfc in that direction Another member of the opposing gsaejp, Stan Harper, reported, "We believe that, by acting as we did, we may have helped prevent future inci- dents of this nature. Hit by bit, we may, with cooperation and with a little intelligence now and then, be able to improve some of the out- moded methods of governing our af- fairs of this nature which will re- sult in a better deal for all students As a result of this matter, there has risen some speculation as to what ment by the Council. Katsiaa said, "One suggestion is that students be required to register before being allowed to vote, as is the custom in our national government. Another is that students be given some form of identification cards which would have to be shown before they vote Katsias further stated, "I think that the action taken on the part of Ragan and Harper was good. Things like that enable the student government anywhere to build bet- ter policies. I think all of us realize now. that we'll have to clamp down on election procedures from now on.

Dear Editor: 1 have heard a rumor during the last few weeks that an official of this college has said, in effect, that the student publications, such as the EAST CAROLINIAN, on this campus are the property of the people of North Carolina and, as such, may not express any opinion with which the dtizens of this state disagree. Fur- thermore that the student newspaper is subject to the complete censorship of the administration of the college as the representatives of the people of North Carolina. If this is true, an explanation is due When a college administration, supposedly acting in good faith, puts itself up as the final authority on a newspaper which you head arises be publication sponsored and subsidized editor of this newspaper, either con- firm or refute the substance of this letter. If it is confirmed, I feel that an explanation is due the students from this official. Yours truly, Larry B.

Blanton, Erector of the a. tist Student Union ince 1947, has resigned her position. On January 1 she began new duties as associate state secretary, Department of Stu- dent work, 3aptist State Convention, in Raleigh. In 1949 the Baptist Student Center on East Eighth Street was acquired r.nd became headquarters for BSU activities at East Carolina College. A full program, with emphasis on the religious life of student members, has been carried on there for the 1 past decade under Miss Blanton's eadership. During the years which she has spent in Greenville, the organ- ization has grown from approximate- ly 700 to 1400 members. A chapel was added to the Center c few years ago and is in constant use for services and programs. This fall one of the rooms in the house was converted into a reading room for students, and a library of inspir- ational and recreational materials is now being acquired. With Miss Blanton's help, students ave arranged a Forum Series, which each week during the school year brings to the Center a speaker and discussion leader on the topic of cur- i rent study. Among other program 'events during her directorship, Bible o.iscussion groups have been organii- I ed, vesper and noon watch services have been scheduled, and a program oi individual counseling for students has been instituted. A program of fel- owship provides recreation for stu- dents during the school year. The East Carolina BSU also issues a monthly newspaper "The Key Miss Blanton attended Campbell College and was graduated cum laude from Wake Forest College. Later she earned the master's degree at Co- lumbia University and Union Theo- logical Siminary. She has clinical pastoral training at North Carolina Baptist Hospital and Bowman Gray School of Medicine and spent a year studying at the Graduate School of Religion, Duke University, on a Dan- forth Foundation Campus Christian Workers Grant. Dr. John D. Messick, president of East Carolina College, reports that, according to the U. S. Office of Edu- cation, salaries paid college teachers in the United States are low. He compared the average annual salary for faculty members at East Carolina College with the national average. Dr. Lawrence G. Derthick, U. 8. Commissioner of Education, has re- vealed, Dr. Messick stated, that sal- aries of college teachers have not kept pace with progress in relationship to other professions and that only modest progress has been made in relationship to the cost of living. According to Dr. Messick the pur- hasing power of salaries paid to col- lege faculty members declined nearly 25' between 1937 and 1947, again referring to information from the U. S. Office of Education. During this period the purchasing power of workers in manufacturing industries increased about 26. Studies indicated, Dr. Messick con- tinued, a 20'f increase in average faculty salaries from 1947 to 1954 and found 20'r increase in the paBt three years. The average salary fur college fac- ulty members in the United States is $6,120 for the regular college year of two semesters or three quarters. In contrast to this figure, Dr. Messick said the average at East Carolina College is $5,637 for the regular year. There is, however, stated Dr. Mes- sick, extra compensation for teaching summer school. Almost all who desire to teach for six weeks increase their salaries from $700 to $1200, the amount earned depending upon the regular salary. The annual average salary of East Carolina College faculty members is thus brought to $6,376, he explained. The national average for full pro- fessors is $8,530, Dr. Messick added, while the average at East Carolina College for those holding full profes- sorships is $6,810. For instructors, he said, the picture is somewhat better, for the national average is $4,230, and the average at tlie college here is $4,777.

Senior Class President Coy Harris announced today plan? for a fund raising drive by which senior class will raise money for a Class Gift to the college. Letters are being sent to each senior asking for a donation of one dollar to the Class Gift Fund. As a follow-up to these letters, a ommittee of students will personally contact each class member in order to collect his dollar contribution at w in time -he donor will be given a receij t. January 20 and 21 have been set as dateii for the drive to take place. The Senior Gift Committee is or- ganized in two parts. Jane Staples will serve as chairman of a committee to canvass the women's dormitorities. Assisting her will be senior girls re- siding in each dormitory. Heading the committee for senior men will be Calvin Mills, for Umstead Hall and Fred Robertson in Slay Hall. In reference to the fund raising drive, senior class sponsor Dr. Rich- ard C. Todd, commented as follows: "I think the Fund Raising Project approved by the seniors at their last class meeting is an excellent and equitable way to raise money for i Class Gift to dear old East Carolina. "A gift of one dollar, while not large, should permit each senior to express his love and gratitude for his Alma Mater in a most worth- while and tangible way. I trust every senior will happily accept the op- portunity to share in & Class Gift- a gift of which he can be justly proud. This can be done by giving one dollar to the Class Representative during the canvass, January 20 and 21.

Mary Greene has given advice and consolation to numerous editors and their staffs. After thirteen years of advising, Miss Greene will now de- vote her full time to the college News Bureau. According to Miss Greene, there have been a few changes made in the taper during this time. Along with the name, which was changed in 19B3 free TECO ECHO to the EAST CAROLINIAN, the parer has, under several enterprising editors, improved news coverage, acquiring more and better feature material and has re- markably increased the use of pic- tures. Policies of Paper During the years she served as ad- viser to the newspaper, Miss Greene tood by to give advice when needed, but the students prepared the paper, just as they have up to the present time. "The policies of the newspaper were usually decided by the staff and the adviser and through the years the policy was to follow a construc- tive policy both in newB articles and editorials. The purpose of this policy was to make the paper a means of working for the welfare and better- ment of the college and the students. Tn general, this policy has been fol- lowed during the years I have been adviser stated Miss Greene. Education After graduation from high school in her home town of Abbeville, South Carolina, Miss Greene attended Agnes Scott College in Decstur, Georgia where she was editor of the college newspaper and graduated Phi Beta Kappa. Upon graduation. Mils Greene taught high school a lew years and then went to Columbia University where she received her Master's de- gree. From Columbia she came direct- ly to East Carolina College as a member of the English Department. News Bureau In 1945 Miss Greene took over the work of the college News Bureau, because there was a great need for publicity work concerning the college. "Members of the staff of the GREENVILLE REFLECTOR were very generous in keeping me with a i ew job about which I knew very little. Among others to whom I'm in- debted for help and advice are JameB L. Whitfield, an alumnus of East Carolina who is now state news edi- tor of the RALEIGH NEWS AND OBSERVER, and Mr. Henry Belk, a trustee of the college and editor of the GOLDSBORO NEWS ARGUS ex lained Miss Greene. When Miss Greene began wotk on the News Bureau in 1946 there was one typewriter, with very little other equipment, and one self-help indent to act as secretary. In comparison, ?he college News Bureau now has its offices in the Alumni Building with three typewriters, an electric mimeo- rrnph machine, a letter folder, the i se of an addressograph and postage ssffttr. The bureau employs a part- time secretary, a student helper, a photographer, and in past years a students sports writer. At present Mr. James Butler handles sports co- verage. The work of the News Bureau in- cludes mailing almost two hundred news letters a day to a regular mail- ing list of daily papers in North Caro- lina and Virginia, to ndio and tele- vision stations. In addition, Miss Greene explained that the bureau tries, through spe- cially written features and other news, to keep the horn? town papers aware of the worthwhile activities of the students from their towns. "One of the things the News Bu- reau needs most Miss Greene stated, "is more cooperation from the re- porters in the student organizations As one of the faculty members with the longest record of service to fe college, Miss Greene related this amusing incident. "One young man, a member of the news staff, was interviewing me and be asked how long 1 had been at the college, and then he asked when 1 .ame to the college. When I told him he looked up with a solemn face and said. 'I trust you came here when you were six Incidentally, that ' oung man was Bernice Jenkins now associated with the WASHINGTON POST.

East Carolina's hardwood forces make their first home appearances since before Christmas tonight when they battle the Guilford Quakers in a North State contest. For the Pirates, it will be their recond meeting with the Quakers, having handled them with ease in the season opener. ECC will also be try- ing to even up their season and con- ference record. Coach Howard Porter, suffering one of his worse seasons, has a 4-6 record going into the Guilford tilt and is 3-3 in North State Conference. According to reports, Porter has made several changes in his lineup and finally came up with another win- ning combination last week against Elon. The changes saw Jessel Curry, All-Conference guard last season, re- turn to a starting position at for- ward. Joe Plaster, lanky 6-8 center, was also back in the starting lineup and controlled the rebounds and con- tributed 13 joints. Porter stated earlier this week that he would go with the same starters. That would mean Curry and Captain Nick Nichols at forwards, Plaster at center, and Charlie Adams and Ike Riddick at the guarde. The Quakers have been taking i their beatings regularly this winter and will be in the nndevdog role once rgain tonight. The biggeBt problem of the visitors is their lack of rebound power. Going into tonight's game, Charlie Adams is the Bucs leading point get- ter while Plaster is the top rebounder. It will be the last home encounter for the bucs until the latter part of the month. They hit the road this week-end for . two games with the conference leaders, Western Carolina and Lenoir Rhyne. They return home Jan. 30th when they play Western Carolina in a return tilt. Two East Carolina substitutes came off the bench during the ECC-AppalacMan basketball clash long enough to sink 23 points apiece. These two, Jeesel Curry and Joe Plaster, were well match- ed though as the Apoa ace scorer Don King netted 27 for Ms night's work which led to the Pirate's downfall by an 86 to 75 score. East Carolina will be seeking revenge for the loss when Ap- palachian comes here on Febru- ary 2 for another North State Conference meeting. The date was December 18th. (Coach Howard Porter was pacing the Pirate dressing room like the Captain in the "Caine Mutiny Court Marshall East Carolina had just rung up their third victory of the season in five starts but the vetcp.n Pirate tutor looked disturbed and with good reason. The Boca had 'von over a weak Newberry club and the win came only after a big scare. The club had looked ragged and unorganized throughout th contest. Press is Wrong The dressing room was quit and filled with well-wishers and mem- bers of the press. But as usual, Porter was unhappy to see his press friends which have become his main target of criticism through the past years. The heavy-browed coach beliowea with a sarcastic note as one reporter entered the room, ! don't know whether you know it or not but we had won three garies before tonightthree paid admission games (It seems that the reporter had stated that DCC's record was 2-2 going into the Newberry tilt.) Porter claims that East Carolina won some game at Burgaw earlier this fall before rer lar schedule. After tiling a personal interest in the statement, I found out over the holidays hat the Pirates did win a practice game from an All-Star team, composed of former pjayers The game was not listed on the ECC schedule and did not receive any ublicity so therefore was known only by a lew people. ECC also played William and Mary in a practice game and lost. Should this game be includea on the won-lost record also? Adequate Record Porter has built up an adequate won-lost record at East Carolina but when a coich t !es to :ad his -ecord with practice game wins then he is hurting the coaching profession. It seems that if he was so concerned over the win, he would have pointed it out earliernot after two losses and the fifth ?ame of the season. Some o nle might say that Porter was just a little irritated over the outcome of the game and this could be the case, but the "blow-out" by Po tor was nothing n&W. Be has often belittled his managers, players, and ven assistant oaches in trie presence of a crowd. He has lost much respect ind this should not be the case of a head eoaeh of a college team. Smitt is Missed Former playe s and fans have stated that Coach Earl Smith was the "brain" behind the success of the past teams and this year's team is making the statement look good. Coach Smith resigned as assistant coach last season and Porter has carrier: the entire load this winter. He has the same team wh'ch posted a 14-5 mark back with the exception of Harold Ingram but Nck N'chols has returned after a shoulder operation and the dub should be stronger. This was to be the year for the Bucs. If not this year, it may be a Lrg time before Pirate fans see a basketball champion- ship. Five seniors are on the cluL all top stars.
