I try to think I'm the character Shirley had some additional drama- tic experience this summer when she 'id Summer Stock with the Vagabond Players at Flat Rock Playhouse. She had a role in "Reluctant Debutante One of the suprising things about Bill is the fact that he has had little dramatic experience, most of it being gained under the directors at East Carolina. "In all seriousness (a rare moment for Bill), Shirley's doing an excellent job he said, speaking of rehearsals. Bill also has a part in "Kiss Me Kate the spring musical. Bill ex- plains that musical comedy is his favorite end of the theatre.

Fidel Castro says there is more liberty in Cuba now than in the United States. "Wi more democratic than President enh wer We are more democratic than John Foster Dulles he claims. Is Cuba a more democratic place now? Or is Castro trying to outdo Batista? Over 200 pro-Batista citizens have been killed by the firing squad after hasty mili- v trials. In jail awaiting trial are about 6,000 eople. Rebel soldiers are hunting down per- hns as many as 5.000 fugitive soldiers, po- lice. Mid informers accused of carrying on dictator's repression. As yet, no trials or executions have been rep rted in Havana. Provisional President Manuel Urrutla's government continues to give assurance that newsmen will be furnish- ed names of the accused and charges against them and will be invited to watch the trials. But the military courts in the provinces ap- parently are going ahead full steam without publicity or reporters. ( astro estimates that only 450 persons will face the firing squads in the purge "to rid Cuba of all war criminals The new head f the Cuban armed forces claims that if any Batista man had killed as many as twenty people, it was judged that he had no right to live. The killing has gotten out of hand. Cast- n s frst statement was that there would be only two or three dozen war criminals. Now that number has increased to 450. How many more? At one of the mass executions in a province a bull dozer had to be used to bury the many people executed. They were scrap- ed into one big ditch grave. Castro along with some other Cubans contend that Cuba has just as much right to exterminate war criminals as the Allies had in condemning Nazi leaders at the Nueren- berg trials after World War II. Cubans are growing irritated at world criticisme&pecially from the United States concerning the executions. Evidently fearing U. S. intervention, Castro declares that if U. S. Marines enter Cuba "200,000 'gringos will die "Gringo" is a term used in a derogatory sense denoting a U. S. citizen. There are 12,000 living in Cuba. Cuba belongs to the Cubans and it is not for us to decide if she has the right to ex- terminate Batista men or in what manner. It does seem, however, that Castro would order the executi ns to stop or at least slow down. T d many people have been killed in too short a time in the past few days. The brilliant lawyer who led his guerilla tr cops through twenty-five months of fight- ing to victory may be fast losing the respect the world so recently accorded him. A country which claims to be more demo- cratic than oven our own U. S. can not begin a reign of liberty with a reign of terror. East Carolinian Published by the students of Ernst Carolina CoUef, Greenville, North Carolina JoAnne Parks BUSINESS MANAGER Kathryn Johnson Good Olo' Days When Were They? By BOB WHITING Aji amiable old gentlemen with whom I converse frequently has a domestic problem that irritates him profusely. He has a sixteen year old granddaughter who is pretty, intelli- gent, eager, and curious; one can see iliat this combination might cause trouble. To view the granddaughter's physi- cal outline might leave one with the impression that he was getting a pre- view of the 'forward look" that char- acterizes the jet age and modern day selling. She has no trouble getting ('ates with boys; conversely, boys have trouble getting dates with her. She realises that she is a desirable article OH the high school date roster, there- fore, she has learned to take every advantage of the situation' at an early age. Along with her other traits she is commanding, quick tempered, hard to please, a?id highly irritable with the boys who call on her. She tells them when to come, what to wear, what to do, and in general critizes them when- ever and wherever possible. If just once she finds that on? of her dates does not com; ly with her wishes, she tells him that he will not be allowed to see her anymore. This does not cause her to become unpopular; she is more in demand than ever. The boys beg to come back. They promise to do and act as she dictates. This irritates the old gentleman of whom I was speaking. During one of ,ur recent conversations, he was speaking in his usual authoritative voice about the way the younger gen- eration has changed since his day a change for the worse. "Boys just don't know how to handle the girls any- more he says. He went on to say that during his day it was first this one and then that one. There was never time to get serious about any- one. The girls had to wait in line. He said that stunts like his granddaugh- ter pulled on her boyfriends just did not happen during his day. The boys would not stand for it. They would simply tell the girl who acted this way to go you know where. After thirty minutes of listening to him, I was convinced that girls had just recently started acting this way. I was about to leave when his wife appeared in the doorway. She had i aught ; arts of our conversation while she supposedly was cleaning the living room. As I said goodbye, I unwittingly commented to the gentle- man's wife that I had been disillu- sioned about the role that women played in her day. I had just finished saying, " the good old days must really have been the good old days when she took a step forward, stopped, pointed her finger and said, "that's what you think, voung man. Things haven't changed. They're still like they use to be. Why, that man of mine used to follow me around all the time. All I had to do was to leave the house and there he'd be, just like a little puppy dog. I couldn't get rid of him. I thought for a while that he was going to put his bed up in my front yard. He'd slay out there sometimes till early in the morning just to make sure that no other boys came calling on me. I couldn't date anyone else after I met him because he was either calling me over the phone or leaning against that tree in the front of my house. But I did have other boy- friends and they weren't much dif- ferent. No sir, we didn't try to please the men, they tried to please us Her husband had been kicking the heel of his shoe in the ground and one did not have to look closely to see a red glow in his face. He lifted his eyes to stare above the house across the street, then back to the ground again. I could sense that the situation was uncomfortable so I hurriedly bid goodbye and tramped toward the street. I guess the lady was right after all. The world is technically becom- ing more complex with the new scien- tific discoveries being made, but basic life, as we live it every day, has changed but little. Woman's role to- day is about the same as it was dur- ing the gay decade. Man still has to fight to display his paramount char- acter. .As for the teenage girl, the only drastic change that has been made is that Zorro and Fidel Castro have replaced Valentino as national heart throbs. The old man's greatest change was one of memory. The passing years will sometimes make the machinery of the mind become hasy. Memories wane and we forget. Maybe a better answer is that we like to forget At any rate we forget. Sometimes it is better to forget what really happened and substitute in its place what we would like to have had happen. This was by far more beautiful to the old man. This was what he wanted to re member from the good old days.

But it is high time some of the lder boys on campus took an interest in Student Government. It is past time the ex-servicemen on this cam- us organized and established sound- ness to student affairs. Try Crying Mysterious Case Causes 'Uprisin9 By PAT HARVEY 'Tis really a pity when news around fore the campus is so scarce that one finds himself digging into the dark places to find something to enlighten one's conversation. There was a little inci- dent that took place recently. It didnt occur on campus, but for once since living on East Carolina ground, it's students were well aware of the plot and the climax of an outside event. But, unfortunately for our reporters, by the time it was relayed into our big ears, the plot was misconstrued and the climax contained varied and ridiculous decisions. It was a pity that this little deal happened, for some of our fair people; but for most of the campus' inhabitants, it could be pro- nounced a gift from who knows where. Now the conversation does not re- lease only the latest happenings in classes, Buc's diet, and Mike's cold, but now this news has filled the little minds of the students with thought and evil doings. Not that any of our acquaintances are actually capable of doing drastic things, but still it's a thought worth mentioning to the naive freshman. These thoughts can do one of two things: (1) scare them too death; give them the realization that "it could happen to me and keep them from trying anything more than speaking when spoken to, or, to that sometimes better extreme, smiling when spoken to, or (2) give them a sense of hatej prograTO that they're ready to throw in the towel aboT. and pronounce everyone out of their mind for doing such a "square" trick, j Probably now most of the reader have blood shot eyes and are still wondering what the general jist of this, supposedly, column is. There- sentences will be tied to- gether into a few words that the average "beat generation" should in- terpret. First, can the students do anything about the outcome of the lracus? Second, if they could, what? Third, what could they possibly gain with these little outbursts? How can one fight this fright off? My friend, it is very easy: (1) Grin and bear it, or, much better, laugh it off as an experience every student should not go through. (2) Cry and revolt from society or much better start acting normal (no, not, like a typical teenage college student.) (3) This is the winner of them all: ever try upholding a few rules and paying heed to their suggestions? Notices Change In Time Because of the high school invita- tional swim meet which is taking place in memorial pool on Saturday, the first course of the swimming pro- gram for youngsters of age 6 through 16 will begin on the following Satur- day, January Slst. It will still be for a 10 weeks program and the same fcras been mentioned Dr. Frank L. Heektns of the English Department requests that all books borrowed from hist by students be returned before this quarter is Dear Editor: A few days ago, a visitor on our campus asked one of our seniors if he was a fraternity man. The ques- tion was asked in the presence of one of our new-found sorority girls and she interrupted with, "No, he's one of those nobodies at East Carolina' Well, needless to say, the seniOT be- came irritated but we'll omit what he said in answer to her remark. The point is that there are a lot of "nobodies" here, far more than there are "somebodies if that's what a frat man or sorority girl is. The purpose of any organization is to attempt to raise the standards of the school and, from what I hear of some of the recent "week-end ex- cursions the standards are going lower, not higher. As soon as some people in these social organizations find out that they arc no better in any way than some of us who are not in an organization, the better off EOC will be. It's rumored that one sorority was well represented at the recent un- chaperoned party in town. In closing, I would like to remark to the freshman girlb, since Rush Week is going strong, "If you want to join a sorority, have enough gump- tion to look into all of them before you jump off the ledge. Find out something about the girls in the soro- rity you wish to join so that you won't take the chance of "going home" before graduation, 1963 It would be a pity for the sorority movement to be knocked down before it got started good because of a few "bad apples because there are some good ones. Sincerely, Bob Lewis Dear Editor: I am a Scot, (hometownEdin- burgh) now a Civil Servant in London. During the war I was a radio operat- or in the British Merchant Navy and I visited America many times. I was always impressed by the kindness and hospitality shown ,o the Britons like myself who were thrown up on your shores by the war. I now have a lot of spare time and so as a hobby I have started a club to enable young people in Amer- ica and Britain to get to know each other better, exchange ideas, maga- zines, etc. I already have a long list of young Britons who are eager to make pen friends in America but my difficulty is putting them in touch with your,g Americans of similar interests. I am, therefore, taking the liberty of writ- ing to you in the hope that you will bring the Club to attention of your readers. I am sure you will agree that only gdod can come from such a flow of correspondence across the Atlantic and if any of your readers are In- terested would you please advise them to write to: MR. M.

"So, the school sort of had to adopt weak-kneed outlook and policy even to sur- vive. 1 mean, the primary objective of ECC was not to offend anybody, not to take any stand that might put it en the spot, not to have any trouble, not to bother anybody.

Competition for a scholarship of- fered by the American Committee on United Euror 3 to attend the 1959-60 session of tne College of Europe at Bruges, Belgium, is now open to American college graduates. The College of Europe offers a one- year, graduate program in European studies. Courses and seminars are giv- en in the social sciences, with em- hasis on European economic and po- Htical problems. A series of study tiips is part of the curriculum. The annual enrollment of about 40 stu- dents is drawn mainly from western countries, but the College encourages outside representation, especially from the United States, in order to broaden the exchange of viewpoints. March 1, 1959, is the deadline for scholarship applications. Applicants must be United States citizens, under 30, single, able to speak French and have a bachelor degree by October L959. The scholarship, valued at $1,750, covers travel, tuition, board, lodging and incidental expenses. Fur- ther information on how to apply can be obtained from the American Com- mittee on United Europe, 120 East fifith Street, New York 22, N. Y.

Al Greene, Bert May, Fred Bartholomew, and Tony Mallard all hit in the double iigures in a well-balanced scoring attack. However, the One Eyes Bill Love came up with 20 points to lead all the individual scoring. Thet Chi tasted defeat at the hands of a determined Kappa Sigma Nu bpuad. Kappa Sig's rebounding and defensive play proved to be the dif- ference as they won 37-31 in a low scoring battle. Wednesday, January 14 Games Because of Department Meetings the regular 6 and 7 o'clock games ere not scheduled last Wednesday night. Therefore, only 6 games were played. In the opener a hustling Kap- pa Alpha team routed the winless One Eyes 61-23. Mitch Moon tossed in 16 points to lead the scoring while Henry VanSant added 15 and Ray Gurtner 14 to top the KA scoring. Dixie Hobgood's 7 points were tops for the One Eyes. The upset of the young season came when a fired up Pi Kappa Alpha spuad pulled a surprise with a 39-26 stunner over the previously unbeaten Lambda Chi's. This was a particularly sad defeat for the Lambda Chi team because they were riding high on a two year unbeaten skeen. Bert May's jump shots and a good display of teamwork featured the Pika's play. Charlie Ward, with 12 points, led the loser's fruitless efforts. Theta Chi bounced back into the column with a 54-28 romp over Delta Sigma Pi. Bill Howell's 17 points and Ted Johnson's 12 led the winner's march. Howard Sumrell dunked in four baskets and four free throws to lead the ROTC to s 37-18 shellacking of the Rinky Dinks. The Rinky Dinks have failed to register in the win col- umn. Ace's fast-breaking Ail-Stars hand- ed the Spartans their sixth consecu- tive defeat to the tune of 51-39 in another Wednesday night game. Bob- by Rainev and Larry Crayton teamed up at the guard slots to lead their club's fast-break offense. Dan Mc- Laurin bucketed 10 points to top the Spartan scoring.

It was EC's second loss of the sea- son to the UNC club but the first loss had been by a much larger mar- in, 15 points. Harry Bloom, a sophomore slated for stardom in the water sport for UNC, again led the home team to victory. Bloom turned in first places with the 220 and 440 free style events. East Carolina took the all impor- tant 400 yard free style relay in a time of 3:52.8. This winning team was composed of Adler, Carrol, Meads and Sawyer. Bob Sawyer continued to remain undefeated in his individual specialty, lhe 200 yard backstroke. His first -lace time was 2:20.9. Tom Carrol nabbed a second place in the 200 yard butterfly while team- mate Tommy Tucker was second in he 20 yard breast stroke. As they did in the first meeting of the two clubs earlier in the season, Ken Midyette and Glenn Dyer were tops in the diving competition. Mid- yette was first and Dyer second. East Carolina will again have its Hack against the wall when they play host to one of the top clubs in the state on Tuesday. The North Carolina State Athletic Club will swim against the Martinez mermen in what should prove to be a thrilling match. Dick Fadgen, one of the Atlantic Coast all time greats in the breast stroke department is a member of the team. Fadgen has been a member of the U. S. Olympic swimming team and the famed Pan American team also. Time for the meet to get under- way on Tuesday in memorial gym- nasium is 4:30 P. M.

The public is eerdh 'invited to attend f-ee of charge. The Acquatics club has worked hard to make the event a success. From all appearances at the present it should be a great success too. They Improved Too "We worked hard enough and long enough to whip them if they turned in the same times they had when we went against them the first time, but thev wasted no time in improving most of their old times which allowed them to utswim us by tv0 points in a meet that was ar. ex- cellent one These re the words of Pirate water-mentor Ray Martir.ez oncerning his team s two point loss to a mighty University of North raro- ina swim team las' Thu-sday in Raleigh. Martinez is this type of coa He makes no excuses and gives the op: osing team everything it desertw, Perhaps this attitude is the reason he is able to get that 100 and desire from each of his boys. THE TEAM AGAIN HA.S ITS WOBK "UT OUT WHEN THE NORTH CAROLINA STATE ATHLETIC CLUB VISITS OUR CAMPUS ON TUESDAY FOR A MEET. The team posed of many up ai.d coming freshmen at N. C.

Olympic tean well as the Pan American team after receiving AlUAmerkan ho- N. C. State. He is a breast stroke specialist and one of the top me: I i swimming world in this particular stroke. Words Are Hard To Swallow HAVi YOU EVER HAD TO EAT YOUR WORDS AFTER BLOW- IN G OFF STEAM ON A TOUCHY SUBJECT SUCH AS COACHES TACTICS IN ATTEMPTING TO WIN BASKETBALL GAMES? This writer has had to digest some of his well chosen adjectiv but I must admit that the cause v.as a good one. WE WHIPPED THE PURE LIVING . . . OUT OF LENOIR RHYNE COLLEGE. Even though we lost to Western Carolina on M night, we won the big one to a certain extentwe won the one knocked Billy We'l's Bears down into third placewe whipped wh'n it hurt most. Lenoir Rhyne has always made it an attempted ha I - knock off the Pirates in both football and basketball and usually have. mostly when the Buc are going strong. The shoe is on the other fool again. Surethey beat us az nome but we got the last laugh and for prestige purposes that is what ?ounts. As I have stated before. I not understood Porter's strategy in the Lenoir Rhyne contest at home they took us to the cleaners nor did I understand the tactics he empio. when the Bucs were toroed by High Point on the latter's home court. But . it is not necessary the students understand either. I certainly do not be- lie ie most of us Hie to be the type to simply jump down the coaches' thrat when he is loosing and praise him when he is winning. I have seen many basketball games in memorial gymnasium when we lost which were terrific games. This is the case in many instances but I sincerelv believe we should congratulate our team and ita coach for upsetting last fOari North State Champion. Western Carolina is here on January 30th. The Bucs are in a non- conference clash with Bynum Motors, an all star outfit, at Portsmouth Saturday night. We should make the Western Carolina game next Fr night a "must" even if we do not get a chance to see the Pirate quint action at Portsmouth. The WCC-ECC game will be a big one as we can play the role of giant killer for the second time this season. When WCC conies to town let us all be ladiei and gentlemen, not as they acted ast yearlet us not belittle the players on their club man for man, as the WCC fans did ours last year. We should be good clean sports about the whole thing and ft last years treatment of our players by the students of W'C. Lets all be the gym on the night of January 30th and softly root our team to v out of these Catamounts. Everette High Scorer Maurice Everette is appearing to be a one man gang for his team in East Caroina's torrid intramuray lketball play. The Robersonville nai scored 56 points in one game and although the statistics are not available he has certainly scored more points than any other player in the three leagues. Everette is a former varsity basketball player and the top set tennis player in the North State Conference. Coming Sports Many of us either lost ou winter sports schedules or rely or college and local newspapers to provide us with a schedule of coming evert? in the sports world at East Carolina.

Zeta Phi Alpha had even less luck in trying to establish the sororities as intramural powers as they bowed to Cotton Hall (the second) in a low scoring tilt, 24-10. Wilson Hall rolled up the largest point total in opening round action as the upper-class lassies kept the nets busy by trouncing Kappa Phi Episilon 59-16.
