The activity fee vote hassle is
over.
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. They were perfectly
within their rights to object, as stu-
dents, a situation which so directly
affected them. Election controversies

troujs will be major offerings of

student body in general, and grew
in scope to one of the hottest situa-
tions to have risen on campus in SGA
history. 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.

Two b'g questions linger in the minds of

Sororities Swing
There are eight organizations that
are really digging their little hands
into mountains of work and climbing
out with some fairly good accomplish-
ments. These groups, better known as
rororitieo, are not wasting preciona
tune in making themselves conspic-
uous. Most of them have ordered
their glamerous pins and are already
bragging about their good deeds.
Sorry to dismay those hopeful per-
sons who are looking for flaws in
the sorority world, but the girls are
putting most of their spare time to
worthwhile -projects. Several sent
sifts to needy families on Thanks-
jiving and went through the same
process for Christmas.

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. Craven

Blanton Resigns Post As BSU Director,
Accept Position With St ,te Convention
Fashion School
rflers Several
Gloria H. 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

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

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. I
should like to urge each senior to

By HETTY MAYNOR
Since 1946, as adviser to the news-
paper staff at East Carolina College,
Mis? 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.
Successor
Upon the resignation of Miss
Greene, Dr. Edgar Hirshberg of the
English Department will become ad-
viser to the EAST CAROLINIAN.

Mrs. Marguerite Perry, of the
foreign language department, was
recently a delegate representing the
North Carolina chapte- at the 31st
annual meeting of the American As-
sociation of Teachers of French.
The December 28-30 meeting was
held in the Hotel Statler-Hilton in
New York City in conjunction with

association.
Mrs. Perry said the meetings were
marked by enthusiasm and optimism
about the National Defense Act, with
its provisions for advancing ma-
terials, methods, and research in
foreign language leaching.
One of the promising methods, she
reported, is the use of films which

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.
Bears Have Material
Lenoir Rhyne has staited ff once again as the dominator in the
North State race. Te Bears won the hardwood crown last year and look
tough once again. The Beors are 1 aded with coaching talent as well as
playing material. By Wells did well last season as a rookie and appears
headed for a successful career to the coaching field. "Pappy" Haminton
