Katsias Calls
For Increase In
Student Powers
In Discipline
SGA President Mike Katsias has
announced plans for a complete re-
r-ganization of the student constitu-j
tion, especially the judicial systems.
Katsias stated that any member of
the Men's Judiciary who did not want
to work for its strengthening and re-
organization should resign immedi-
ately.
Bill Jenkins, former chairman of
the Men's Judiciary, was recently
sus; ended from school for his part
in the much publicized off-campus
party held in an apartment he shared
with three other students.
Katsias says this action is a di-
rect outcome of the concern and in-
terest shown by students during the
few days since the party incident
which resulted in the suspension of
51 students for disciplinary reasons.
Among the students Katsias has
chosen to work with him on reorgani-
zing the constitution are Bryan Harri-
son, Fred Ragan, (Robert R. Johnson,
and Jack McCann.
Student apathy and the "patch-up
constitution now in use is to blame
for both the party incident and other
recent incidents which have cause the
unrest among students, claims Kat-
sias.
"Perhaps said Katsias, "if the
student judicial system here had been
strong enough to deal with this sort
of thing in the past this party inci-
dent would not have happened. Now
that it has happened, the students
are arroused and calling for expla-
nations and rights and satisfaction.
But this thing is over. Nothing can
be done about it now. All we can do
now is to work on a new system so
that similar incidents can be avoided
He said, "More than anything else,
what has happened here means a
challenge to the student body to do

undergraduate courses to be taught
in late afternoon or at night.
Vice President and Dean of In-
struction Leo W. Jenkins has just
announced that plans for the new
orogram are well underway. Efforts,
he said, are being directed toward of-
f ring courses, with emphasis upon
rentiired courses, which will be of
value to undergraduates working to
ward a degree and teachers interested
in raising their certificates.
(Scheduling of a number of courses
at hours convenient to people unable
to attend classes during the regular
school day is expected to benefit many
who do not now hold degrees, espe-
cially to teachers), Dr. Jenkins ex
plained.
.(The new series of undergraduate
courses will be offered by East Caro

gram of graduate work now being
given in the afternoon or at night),
Dr. Jenkins stated. (A large number
of teachers and other students who
are working toward the master's de-
gree are now participating in this
graduate program), he said.
Already announced in the new ser
les of afternoon and night classes for
the spring quarter are the following
courses for undergraduates: Applica

h
No Settlement As Yet
? JAMES CORRETT
The abrupt decision of Soviet Premier
Mikoyan to cut short his visit to the U. S.
and return home last week brought to a disap-
pointing climax the period of hope that had
prevailed since the trip was announced.
Peace-loving people all over the world had
hoped th it somehow a method would be un-
covered during the trip that would lead to an
eventual settlement of the cold war. Unfor-
tunately such a development did not occur.
The plain truth of the matter is that Mik-
ovan's journey produced next to nothing in
the way of tangible remedies for the problem.
The entire trip was pretty well summed up
in the words of press secretary James Hager-
ty immediately following the Eisenhower-
Si ikoy an conference at the White House.
"Don! get out your pencils he told repor-
ters, "I haven't got much referring to the
results of the meeting. He went on to say in
effeci that both the President and Secretary
of Stale Dulles considered the discussion use-
ful, which judging from past similar remarks,
was simply a convenient way of saying the
meeting was pleasant but unproductive.
Only one thing to which any importance
at all can be attached developed from the
visitor's talks while in the country. Mikoyan
hinted to several people that Khrushchev's
ultimatum giving the West six months in
which to pull its troops out of West Berlin
did not have to be taken too seriously. For
many people even this disclosure was hardly
surprising because of a widespread belief all
.long that the Communist boss was merely
bluffing when he issued the statement.
Pari of the disappointment felt by the
public upon the Premier's departure was
brought on by the public itself. Both the
Kremlin and Washington stressed the fact
that his primary purpose for being here was
to talk over trade relations. People every-
where, however, had recognized the political
potentialities his presence here held and had
allowed themselves to believe great things
would spring from it.
Many people, high officials as well as
citizens, still feel that regardless of how the
visit was publicized, it had primarily a poli-
tical motive. And considering the compara-
tive! v small amount of time the Premier spent
on the subject of trade, it is highly possible
these individuals are right. Iack of agree-
ment between the two countries could easily
account for the lack of visible results.
Whatever Mikoyan's motive was. trade
politics, the result could hardly be less
noteworthy. Perhaps the visit will go down
on record as just another one of the many
opportunities the U. S. and Russia have had
to settle their differences but failed so miser-
v to take advantage of.
Protests Bring Results
Following the suspension of 51 students
connected with an off-campus unchaperoned
party, about 100 students met last week. They
met to protest the expulsion of t1 e students,
but after the meeting discussed the tighten-
ing and rewording of the Student Govern-
ment Constitution.
After the meeting SGA President Mike
Katsias said that he would work with several
responsible students in the organization of a
new constitution, "one which will be strong,
reported and efficient, and which will let the
students know exactly where they stand
Perhaps this means that the general stu-
dent public has come to realize at long last
that the SGA Constitution is not just a bunch
of formal sounding words, but a document
which concerns every student on this campus.
Students claim they want a constitution
that will state specifically what they can or
cannot do, and what will happen if they do
not com pi v.
Perhaps students will be more wary of
whom they elect to SGA posts. Perhaps they
will pay more heed to one's platform and
convictions and less to his charming person-
ality.
Perhaps students will realize what an
important unit the SGA and the Senate can
be if it is run by the right kind of people
and supported by those who elect the people
who run it.

Penalty Unfair?
Who's To Blame?
By BRYAN HARRISON
Apparently the campus is in a state
of crisis. (This column was written
on Monday.) Last Thursday some
jokt rot the idea that the students
ought to hold a mass meeting. The
students showed up, but the charact-
ers that started it chickened out.
It was disqustiag. It was like a
fixating fuse on what could have been
the biggest bombshell to ever ex-
plode on the campus.
The fact that the students were
enraged about something seemed en-
couraging to me. There were about
75 at SO there. They just sat there
while one fellow got up and suggested
they go home.
After the meeting a tight knot of
students gathered and proceeded to
the SGA office to see what could be
done about a "legal" mass meeting.
Under the provision in the con-
stitution, it is practically impossible
to hold one.
President Katsias immediately de-
cided the students needed a new con-
stitution as well as a new mass meet-
ing.
The result was yesterday's meeting
which was called by Dr. Messick on
a request from Katsias. Also a com-
mittee lias been appointed to re-write
the constitution.
But meetings, and constitutions
will do little good unless the students
take some initiative to govern them-
selves. Obviously the students were
enraged over the administration's
action regarding the suspension of
some fifty-one students.
Personally I felt the punishment
given those students was unfair, but
students can hardly blame the ad-
ministration for taking action them-
selves rather than leaving it to the
students.
Por the students have made no real
attempt this year to enforce their own
rules. The shocking example is the
Men's Judicary. According to the
SGA President, the Men's Judicary
has tried only one case this year.
Shortly before the mass suspension
the President of the Men's Judicary
resigned and what was left of it
existed only on paper. According to
the present student constitution, stu-
dents should be tried by the judici-
aries before going to the Disciplinary
Committee.
The men's judiciary is a farce.
Obviously the administration doesn't
?rust it enough to let it try a case.
The students should have two strong
judicial bodies and try every case
regarding student conduct. The only
way they can get them is to elect
them.
This whole thing falls right back
to the students. If the administration
is governing the students it is be-
cause they can't govern themselves.
Whether or not the administration
had a right to break up somebody's
party isn't the rint here. That is
another question. The point is, what
have the students done to prevent the
undeniably miserable social atmos-
phere on this campus?
When the students answer that
question with action they can begin
blaming Dean Tucker and Dean
White. But not until then.
Hark, Let's Go There!

Visions Of Castro Charged Thru His Head
Six huge hellicoptors swirled
around the campus like a family of
buzzards. They finally lit on the soft
green grass. iAll doors of the coptors
opened at the same time.
Bearded men got out in an orderly
fashion. They assembled around one
man who was speaking Spanish
quietly. They called this man Castro,
or something like that.
After a short briefing, the man
followed their leader toward a red
brick building. They all carried vio-
lin cases. Castro carried two violin
cases. In single file, the men en-
tered the building.
After spending fifteen minutes in
conference with the College Displi-
nary Board, the bland faced men
followed their leader to the center of
the campus where 4956 students stood
as rigid as a hundred rows of fence
posts. The only sound was the wind
blowing through the trees and the
flipping of clips on the violin cases.
The sky was a deep gray and the air
was as crisp as virgin electricity.
Castro was now standing tali at one
end of the campus. His henchmen
were lined up evenly in front of the
mass of sober faced students.
The wind stopped blowing and the
sky got darker. Castro began count-
ing. "Ten, Nine, Eight, Seven, Six,
Five, Four, Three, FIRE
The simultaneous blasting of mach-
ine guns filled the air with the
screaming of young students who
by BOB HARPER
were dropping like half wet towels.
The smooth, green carpet grass be-
came crimson with fresh, warm blood.
When the firing ceased, only two
students were standing, a boy and
girl boldly embracing each other
with their faces turned toward the
sky. They resembled Adam and Eve.
When I awoke ,my body was wet
from presperation. It took four as-
prins and a double dose of amonia

There are certain people on campus who
have graduated from high school, but haven't
shed that high school "crust" yet. These pit
ful individuals are thorns in the sides of the
majority of people at this aehool who are
trying their level best to be adults.
This little "high school" faction is the
diiect cause of fricti n between the men a
women who are members of fraternities and
sororities and those who are not. They ha
their own little immature ideas of what f
t' - r-ities and sororities are, but haven't the
lightest notion whatsoever of what res

This hurts everyone. It especially h

else. They will not stick up their n -

ever, the "Bobby Bubblegummers" will.
Sometimes we'd like to let ourselv.
when we encounter these individuals, an
kick their teeth out, but we don't. W
do our best to avoid them.
After you think about it for awhile,

before I could get back to sleep there is no method, other than strai

So remember that the majority of I

campus than anyone else, and they, like ev
one else, realize that these little brats wh(

Nerve Gas Creates Humane Wa
By JEAN ANN WATERS
You think you're pretty safe from madmen,

Well, don't be too sure.
Did you know that a new gas has
been discovered which might be used
to render the inhabitants of an entire
city perfectly helpless?
It does not kill; that is not the
purpose. It acts upon your mind, de-
stroying your ability to think ration-
ally, breaking down your will to fight.
This nerve jjas as it is called, causes
temporary insanity accompanied by
delusions and halucinations. You can't
fitfht it, because you don't realize you
are acting strangely. Neither dees
anyone else; they are acting in the
same strange way.
The effect of the gas lasts about
six hours, just long enough
for an enemy army to move in and
take over a city after the population
had been converted into a mob of
Irritating Breath
Thus we have a new kind of war

bloodshed, victory without violence.
Instead of conquering your body,
they conquer your mind. They im-

nothing about it.
What next?
From man's beginning, the struggle
for power has been one of the fore-
most drives in the mind. From throw-
ins? rocks and swinging clubs, he baa
progressed to subtler methods of war-

Now we ask the question, where
will it stop? How can we stop It? la

of events, gathering impetus as it
swings through the years, from crash-

We are trapped, like it or not.
There is no escape. And though we
cry out, there is no answer.

Hear Editor:
Last week I had a conference with
i high-ranking official of this col-
lege concerning my letter which ap-
peared in the January 16 issue of the
BAST CAROLINIAN. His answer
was unique, if not entirely explicit.
First, he must be quoted as saying
that he issued no orders as to what
the newspaper could and could not
print; he only "requested" that items
and expressions not in "good taste'
insofar as the people of North Caro-
lina are concerned be deleted. There
was absolutely no threat nor command
involved. This gentleman impressed
upon me the fact that he only had the
better interest of East Carolina Col-
lege at heart, and that he is ever
mindful of the prestige of the college
as an institution of education. The
pretty words caused me to soften foT
an instant.
Then came Hiroshima!
An announcement affecting the ego
of every student on this campus was
issued. It stated that there would be
no goodnight kisses, embraces, or
anything else which might be con-
strued as anything but the most sub-
tle hint of attraction between males
and females at East Carolina. One
may ask why. The answer came to me
like a ripping and ugly lightening
flash. I had my answer when. I sooke
to the official about freedom of the
How small can an individual get?
How much can an individual bow to
the pressures of the common masses?
The answer came with this new rul-
ing; a ruling which is seeking to teaT
down the principles set up with the
creation of male and female. And
what will happen if we ignore this
ruling? Why, our dating privileges
will be REMOVED!
"Oh, they might as well go chasing
after moonbeams, or light a penny
candle from a star

Dear Editor:
I would like to congratulate Bob
Lewis -on the recent editorial in the
BAST OAROLINIAN. I admire Bob
for stating his opinion on one of East
Carolina's new founded sorority girls.
In addition I feel as if I should give
my opinion.
My opinion is: This so-called soro-
rity girl is not one that I like to
have dealings with. I know of nothing
that makes my blood pressure rise
than to know of someone who thinks
they are superior. I think a girl of
this kind is too immature to be pre-
sented to the public and is a social
outcast among human beings. I am
referring to the overheard conversa-
tion of one of our seniors and a visi-
tor on our campus when the visitor
press. Tt concerned "good taste" as asked the senior if he was a frat man.
Opinions expretaed on the editorial page
those of the editorial staff and do no
reflect the views of the faculty,

defined by the average citizen of
Greenville and North Carolina. The
average citizen, who has an inferior
education to the students of this col-
lege, dictates our "good taste
"No interrupted this superior rush-
ee, "he is one of those nobodies at
East Carolina
If statistics are true the "nobodies
on this campus have a better moral
character than these high fluting
follies.
I think sororities are fine organize-
tions if well organized and well dis-
ciplined, but when they are present at
these unchaperoned parties they are
getting out of hand and losing their
reputation. I wonder if this girl is a
fine example of her parents.
I had the chance to become a "some-
body" but turned it down and I am
still a "nobody but, as of yet, I have
felt no social pressure as this girl
seemed to be trying to exert in her
opinion.
In closing, I would like to say that
we "nobodies" are quite happy and
proud to admit that we don't belong
to club 51.
Sincerely,
Jimmy H. Fields
(Editor's note: Mr. Lewis' letter was
not run as an editorial, bput as a letter
to the editor.)
Dear Editor:
I am writing you in reference to the
newly posted ultimatum in each of the
girl's dorms. I quote here one para-
graph from this: "We are asking you
to refrain from any good-night kisses,
embraces, or and display of affection
in public. We are asking you not to
loiter at front doors, nor on the
porches at closing time. If you per-
sist in doing so, your dating privileges
will be withdrawn
Please let me say at this point that
I, too, have seen some "public dis-
plays of affection" on this campus
that have given me some reason to he
a little shocked myself, and I can
readily understand why the admini-
stration would prefer this to be stopp-
ed BUT, there are several things that
I feel very strongly about. Does the
administration believe that a good-
night kiss is really wrong? Do they
really believe that an ultimatum such
as this latest one is going to be car-
ried out, without anything else taking
the place of a good-night kiss?
I heard a conversation the other
day that went something like this:
First girl: Can't they see that it is
practically driving us to the woods?
When you are wearing a guy's pin
and have been for a year, do they
really think that you're going to stop
kissing him good-night? If you can't
kiss him in front of the dorm, then
just where are you going to on this
campus? Every other place is "off-
limits
Second girl: And that part about
stopping us from dating. They would
have to call out twice the forces that
they had in Little Rock to stop that
We can all agree that there are
some things that do not look good to
the public, and I realize that the col-
lege must take steps to prevent these,
but if the general public does not
know by this time that a girl and
boy kiss good-night, I sincerely be-
lieve that it is about time that they
found out!
The administration wants us to act
and believe like adults. BUT HOW
CAN THEY EXPECT US TO DO SO,
W1HEN THEY INSIST ON TREAT-
ING US LIKE CHILDREN?
Yours jprely,
iorrfff mmss iF,m
Have you ever noticed the irritating way
some people breathe?
It's not very notieable unless you K
closely. There are some psychologists who
claim that you can tell a person's personality
by the way he breathes.
They say that a person who breathes
with a hiss is usually a quiet, reserved, shy
person. There is a completely logical and phy-
sical reason for this: usually one who breath-
es with a hiss in his nose does so be-
am he has either a nose clogged with an
over growth of hair or sinue. This causes him
to have difficulty in speaking (because he
must breathe through his nose) and therefore
renders him quiet and somewhat shy.
Then there is the person who breathes
with a snore. These people are numerous.
They sound like a hoard of pigs rootin?.
Many of these kind of people can be seen
walking arcund and they may sometimes ap-
pear to be sleep walking.
Usually, these people have a deformity
of the nose. The piece of cartilage which
separates the two nostrils of this person is
very delicate and thin and vibrates when
air is drawn inward or forced outward, pro-
ducing a throbbing song-like sound. This per-
son is usually insecure since childbirtha
fact which an be determined by the thin
fiber of the nose. Psychologists figure that
this thin fiber is due to the child's picking
his nose at a young age, due to worry, frus-
tration, unhappiness.
Then there is the person who breathes
without making a noise. This kind of person
is usually crafty, evil, who tries- to sneak
about, doing things behind people's backs.
This is characteristic of the neurotic who does
not wish others to know he is nearthus, he
breathes softly.
And there are those who breathe through
their mouths. Those people are usually manic
depressives who have long repressed a desire
to bite their mothers. As a child, this person
began breathing through his mouth, hoping
to suck in flies or other insects and event-
ually his mother.
Then there is the short, choppy breath-
er who makes everybody else tired just watch-
ing. This person is a paranoic who believes
the world is against them. Therefore, as a
means of irritating all his acquaintances, he
breathes this way.
Finally, there is the person who breathes
only in long sighs. Subconsicously, this per-
son has a death-wish fixation and hopes
eventually to stop breathing and die of mal-
function of the breathing apparatus.

First I would forget for the mo-
ment that the Nobel literature com-
mittee offered Boris Pasternak the
I rize at the time when DR. ZHIV-
AGO had genuinely interested many
f the literate in the West and had,
consequently, enormously titillated
vast legions of ubangis and visigoths,
name-iJroprers all, who couldn't wait
for the condensed version to appear
in the READER'S DIGEST. Second-
ly, I would ask the reader to re-
member that what I am writing
! about is a translation.
Since I am an educated man, I
refuse to accept anyone's, even the
Nobel committee's, opinion of a work
of art until I have had a look, or a
listen, myself. Fair enough So I
read DR. ZHIVtAGO in translation,
uneondensedand unhomogenized!
My verdict is that while the book is
beautiful and interesting and worth-
while, it is not a novel of the first
ank. Please rermit me to explain.
In explaining, however, I must say
that art is NOT life. It is truer than
life and transcends life while it is
about life. The characters In a first
rate novel come to life for us as no
ne we actually know ever quite
does. And this is the tragedy of life.
Also it is the glory of art and one of
the reasons we need art as desperate-
ly, really, as we need bread. Art
shows us how the world and mainly
people, ourselves, can be. In bringing
-is insights about the world and about
ourselves, the artist renders us an
invaluable service

Tackle Cooke Out
For 1959 Season
Sophomore tackle Charlie Cooke
was almost definitely counted out of
Coach Jack Boone's 1959 gridiron
plans as the head tutor prepared to
get winter drills under way at full
scale this week
Cooke, a regular for the two sea-
sons and hailed as one of the North
State Conference's most promising
young stars, dropped out of school
during the Christmas holidays for
financial reasons.
The loss came as a big shock to
Coach Boone who stated that the loss
of Cooke would leave a big gap to
fill. "He was a real strong boy and
had really improved since hia first
ear here.
The Pirates were slated to start
work outside this past Monday, pro-
viding good weather was on hand.
Winter drills are slated to last to the
early part of March and will be cli-
maxed by an Alumni game.
Boone stated earlier this week that
lie was really pleased with some of
the freshmen from last season and
was really natomistic over the com-
ing season. Some twenty-five letter-
men are expected to be back from last
year's club which suiprised every-

operation shown by the Intramu-
ral participants. When told that the
ram seemed to be going over
very well with the students, Smith
said, "I'm glad to hear that. The boys
certainly have shown fine co-opera-
tion in getting to their games on
time and in handling themselves on
the court. It's a pleasure to work
with them
Bombers Hot
The Bombers, undefeated in seven
games, have the only unblemished re-
vrd in either division. They contin-
ued scalping their opposition last
Monday night when they exploded for
a 1U.1-48 victory over the bewildered
"alcons. Don Prince and Hugh Baae-
:vore. with 4 and 36 points respective-
ly, ke; t the nets swishing. A full-
mirt press and a fast-breaking of-
fense enabled the Bombers to practi-
ally score at will.
Road Runners Gain
other "A" Division action saw the
Road Runners gain a second place tie
with the River Rats when they troun-
ced the Playboys, A.A and the Low
Cuts in three consecutive nights,
while the Rats were humbling the
Coats, the Playboys, and coming out
on the short end in an encounter with
the Falcons.
The Rockin' Robins and Ace's All-
Stars continue to hold a grip on first
place in "B" Division and both clubs
stem determined to stay on top. The
Robins flew over the Spartans 85-36

another victory Wednesday over the
tough Paries. Meanwhile, Ace's quint,
in
after stopping the Furies Tuesday
night, sent the ROTC lads back to
their bunks with a 54-29 defeat
another Wednesday night decision
Lambda CM Wins Squeaker
Lambda Chi Alpha regained the top
position in the Fraternity League
standings, but only by the margin of
Buddy Whitfield's game winning shot
in a Wednesday night battle with
Theta Chi. The game was tit-for-tat
and went right down to the wire with
a 35-35 deadlock when, with about
six seconds remaining in the game,
Whitiield dribbled across the mid-
court line and let go with a 30 foot
two-hand set shot that ripped the
net. Kappa Sigma Nu, Kappa Alpha,
and Pi Ka.pa Alpha with 5-2 records
are right behind the once-beaten
Lambda Chi's.

The big question in theNorth State conference
"what has hajpened to Lenoii Rhyne and High Point?"
Both Lenoir Rhyne and High Point were the early eaaon ;

The two teams are evenly matched in material and

East Carolina's swim meet with N. C State Athletic '

could do it
but
Western Carolina, tall and tough on
the boards, moved into complete com-
mand of the North State conference
basketball race during the past week
as High Point's Panthers fell victims
in one of the year's biggest upsets.
With the Panthers bowing to Elon
62-59 Monday night for their first
conference loss of the season, the Ca-
tamounts kept their record unsullied
with two victories to claim undisputed
lead in the league.
Western Carolina pushed its con-
ference mark to 8-0 and its season
record to 15-1. The Cats have lost
only to Georgetown of Kentucky.
Halfway Mark
In gaining two triumphs Western
Carolina moved past the halfway
point in its bid to gain the No. 1
seeding for the annual conference
tournament coming up Feb. 25-28 at
Lexington. Seven more conference
contests remain on the Catamounts
schedule. They meet High Point only
once in loop competition.
Appalachian's Mountaineers moved
up a notch into fourth place with two
victories during the week. The Apps
beat Elon 72-60 and Atlantic Christ-
ian, 73-67, to move in ahead of East
Carolina on a 5-3 record.
High Point maintained second place
on a 6-1 record and Lenoir Rhyne beat
Atlantic Christian 48-30 for a 6-2 re-
cord and third place.

East Carolina came through with a
rather shakey 74-69 basketball win on
Saturday night in the Virginia city
of Portsmouth, at the expense of
Bynum Motor Sales, one of the top
independent teams in the N. CVa
area. Time and time again the Bucs
found themselves off key in that they
were on the short end of the running
score 15 times before it was all over.
Jessel Curry, Greenville's Ike Rid-
dick, and Charlie Adams supplied
most of the offensive power for the
Pirates as Curry hit for 21, Riddick
with 19 and Adams with 18. Joe
Plaster had 11 and Nick Nichols 5
points.
A Bparee crowd of some 1,000 fans
witnessed what almost turned out to
be a home team victory over the
Greenville visitors. Their big pride
was a 6 foot 4 inch product of Wood-
row Wilson High School named Phil
Robbins. It was Robbins who kept
Bynum in the game with his rebounds
and fabulous hook shots. Robbins was
high man for both teams as he netted
24 big points. He and Paul Wetherbee
seemed to virtually come through
every time Bynum needed the all im-
portant points to stay up with EC.
Weatherbee had 19 for his night's
work.
See-Saw Battle
A close look at the actual scoring
and the time involved would look like
this. East Carolina took a quick 6-0
lead with Adams, Curry and Riddick
all hitting on their first attempts.
Then Bynum took over the ball until
they dumped six points through and
with five minutes gone in the first
half the score stood at 6-6. It was
again tied 10-10 after seven minutes,
and 19-19 after 10 minutes of play
had passed. Robbins poured the ball
through the hoop fast enough to get

The Catamounts come to I

minutes of play and after 16 minutes
of play Bynum led 29-28. They lost
the lead one time before the half but
emerged at half time with the lead in
their favor by a margin of 86 to 38.
With Plaster and Nichols domina-
ting the floor play after the second
half began, EC pulled even and then
led 39 to 36. The Bucs had their lon-
gest lead of the night which was 68-50
