Tuesday afternoon Dr. Viereck led
an informal discussion for students
interested in poetry. He began the
discussion by listing the pitfalls of
student and other poetsdiction, the
use of cliques and metaphors out-
side of human experience, the use
of the correct words, and too many
adverbs and adjectives.
Dr. Viereck described the two fun-
damentals of writing poetry as in-
s. iration and perspiration. "Without

cannot write, even with inspiration

"European students do not have col-

this promotes maturity and a sense

When asked of his impression of
East Carolina College, Dr. Viereck
stated, "When I first saw my sched-
ule for these three days, I wondered
if I would have time to catch my

Committee Meets
To Elect Editor
For Paper Today
The Publications Board will
meet this week to choose the editor
for the EAST CAROLINIAN for the
1959-60 term.
This vear there are three candi-
Governor Luther H. Hodges an-
nounced in his budget message to the
- tate Legislature last Monday night
that East Carolina College has been ! j
allocated $1 ,(518.300 for this biennium.
President John D. Messick reported
that the college had requested
!f.rS9! .500.
This year the budget was made in
two ways, the "A" Budget and the
"B" Budget, Messick said that th
"A" Budget was to continue on just
the same level as the rresent bien-
nium and the "B" Budget was to
orovide for new programs.
Fast Carolina's allotments will be
used for various additions and im-
provements on campus.
Half the cost of a new dormitory
for 500 students was granted . the
college. The remainder of the amount
twill be raised through dormitory
room rental fees.
Annexes to Flanagan Building
Graham Building, and the Infirmary
will total $509,300. A three-story an-
nex to Flanagan Building will include
additional laboratories and class-
rooms for Industrial Arts and Science
Departments. An addition to Graham
Building will include ten classrooms,
eighteen offices, and four labora-
tories.
The resent infirmary was de-
signed to serve a student body of
1,000. An addition costing $78,100
would provide for the present antici-
natory enrollment.
Dr. Messick stated that the present
electrical system is outmoded and
overloaded. One hundred thousand
dollars will be used for modernization
and increased capacity.
Renovation of the North Cafeteria
was ap. roved by the Board. The
building will be fireproofed and
modernized, Messick said,
A new warehouse to be used for
By JEAN ANN WATERS
storage of supplies and maintenance
materials will be built. Messick de-
clared that the school has outgrown
its present warehouse.
In order to take care of the build-
ings now planned at the college the
ca.acity of the steam plant must be
increased. The requested $189,200
will provide for a new boiler.
Allotments requested, but denied,
include an allotment for an addition
to the College Union which would
include a new soda shop and perhaps
a small auditorium. The Student
Lluion now in use was previously used
for showers and storage.
Other denied allotments were an
addition to the library, a dormitory
for women, better outdoor athletic
acilities, a gymnasium, an elemen-
tary school biulding, and an addition
to the Music Building.
Dr. Messick also pro. osed con-
structing an annex between Slay and
(Jmstead Halls and converting them
nto women's dormitories.
In a letter to Governor Hodges,
Dr. Messick stated: "There is noth-
ing recommended for a Language
Laboratory, although we offer Rus-
sian, German, French and Spanish,
;nd instruction is mostly by word of
nouth from teacher to student, which
is the method of instruction used
fifty years ago and instruction of
foreign languages has changed great-
ly in recent years
Concerning facilities for research,
Messick declared further in the let-
ter: "We have never had and still
to not have a cent for research and
quite a few of our people, particu-
larly those in science, feel starved
in this area and unless we can get
some assistance so that they can
carry on thier projects in the field
of their interests, for which they
have trained'as well as in teaching,
it is going to be difficult for us to
hold many of these well trained peo-
ple in the Science Department
Messick pointed out to the Gover-
nor the need for increased pay for
student helpers. He suggested that
the pay be increased from fifty-five
cents to seventy-five cents an hour.
The President also suggested that
if no more money could be allowed,
that the amount allocated for Flana-
gan Building be used for enlarging
the library instead.
"That and the Student Union are,
along with the additional dormitory
for women, absolutely essential he
emarked.
Over Campus Radio Monday night,
Dr. Messick explained the procedure
required in setting up the budget,
first, the College Budget Committee
finds out from the various depart-
ments what they want and need. The
budget is made up and submitted to
the Board of Higher Education in
Raleigh. Their advisory budget is
given to the State Budget Commis-
sion. If the college is not satisfied
.vith what the State Budget Com-
mission has approved, Dr. Messick
appears before the Commission and
asks that the budget be increased.
Then the Commission acts and their
decision is published.
"If the students will see the mem-
bers of the General Assembly in an
organized way wherever they live,
they can do a tremendous amount of
good in acquainting these people
with the need.
"I would like for the students to
zo out after the money needed for
the College Union, the addition to
the library, as well as the women's
dormitory and the Nursing School

The sudden appearance of bearded
men on campus has caused a lot of
comment lately. We aren't being in-
vaded by Cuban rebels as some hor-
rified coeds might have believed. Al-
though some boys might be just try-
ing to avoid shaving, most of the
bearded ones are Kappa Alpha fra-
ternity men.
For the past few weeks this fra-
ternity has been preparing for the
KA sponsored Old South Ball to take
place in Charlotte, N. C, April 10-12.
Festivities will include a sparade,
chapter parties, and semi-formal
dances.
All chapters will have marching
units, KlA sponsors, and a KA Rose
in the parade Saturday morning. All
brothers will be dressed as Con-
federate soldiers or Southern gentle-
men, and the girls as Southern belles.

will be chosen to compete with KA
Roses from other districts for the
title of National Kappa Alpha Rose.
The National Rose will be chosen at
the national convention in Kansas
City at the end of the summer.
After the parade there will be a
secession ceremony at the courthouse,
and the president of each chapter
will give a small talk, presumably
glorifying the Old South.
Next on the agenda will be a dinner
patty Saturday afternoon with music
combos such as The Tarns and The
Gladiolas.
Climaxing the weekend will be the
Old South Ball to be held in Radio
Center, a city-owned building design-
ed for such affairs. The KA's and
their dates will again wear Southern
attire in an attempt to relive the
traditions of the Old South.

Ian Without Country
Former Dictator Loses
P'elfpme In All Lands
Fulgencio Batista, former dictator pres-
ident of the island republic of Cuba, seems
to have become ft man without a country. It
is totally impossible for this deposed despot
to return to his homeland where his rival
Fidel Castro is in complete control, and high-
ly improbable that he will be allowed to enter
the United States.
Recently when Batista's young wife came
into the U.S she was under close watch un-
til she left. She would have never been ad-
mitted if it had not been for the fact that
her baby, who was here, was sick and in
need of her mother and medical attention.
At present the Batista family is residing
in Ciudftd Trujilli in the Dominican Re-
public which is ruled by dictator Rafael Tru-
jillo. I
It is becoming apparent that Trujillo is
now trying to get rid of Batista. "El Ca-
ribe a newspaper controlled by Trujillo,
recently carried a banner headline reading,
"Batista Should Get Out
The Dominican radio, like-wise Trujillo-
controlled, stated that "Batista's presence
here is repugnant and unpleasant. Contact
with him shames and disgusts us They
claim that Trujillo's nobility and Christian
kindness have given shelter to a man who
would not have come here if he had any sense
of decency. Trujillo evidently fears that Ba-
tista's presence could stir up a replica of
what happened in Cuba.
Recently when Castro left Cuba and rode
triumphantly through the streets of neigh-
boring Venezuela, the people now free from
dictatorship themselves cried, "Trujillo next!
Trujillo next These cries must have been
heard way back in the Dominican "Republic
Batista is also unwelcome in Haiti, the
Dominican Republic's nect door neighbor
The position of the dictator of Haiti is so
shaky that a visit from Batista could make
the situation even more precarious.
Even the Communists have made a claim
that Batista is repugnant to them.
So. where shall he go? He is indeed a
man without a country.
local Sororities Move
Quickly, But Quietly;
Prove To Be Of Value
The local sororities on campus, which
came into official existence only this Fall,
now claim a membership totaling well over
160 girls in eight organizations.
The sorority movement was quicker and
a painful than that of fraternities. Frater-
nities had already set a precedent for social
organizations.
The sorority movement was quiet and
had none of the fanfare and rejoicing that
the fraternities did. They organized, created
an Intersorority Council, and went to work.
In the few months they have been estab-
lished on campus, sororities have become
well entrenched. in campus life. They have
made social, academic, service and charitable
contributions to the campus community and
to the town of Greenville.
We think they have proved their worth-
iness. We think they are in!

Dumb Mules
Easy To Lead
By TOM JACKSON
There have been some develop-
ments at East Carolina College re-
cently which some think will lead
to the development of political par-
ties on campus. "
Political parties, once well organiz-
ed, would probably get more people
out to vote on election day, thus
creating more interest in our student
government, that is, "if" the parties
were well organized.
They might bring about a stronger
system of student self government
and control, "if" they work properly.
And "if" the parties operate effic-
iently they might bring a little more
self respect to the individual as well
as to the Student Government.
On the other hand, they could,
with the wrong people in the right
positions, foster the development of
dirty politicsdirtier than anything
we have ever seen.
ihey could put a person or persons
of the cigar-smoking, back-slaping,
two-faced iorked-tongue variety into
a position of responsibility which
would biing about the collapse of
any dignity or self-respect which is
left in the student government.
People, ambitious people, who love
the sound of their own voice and
enjoy basking in the limelight of
false glory, could, with cunning and
manipulation of a few gulliable indi-
viduals, bring to our campus the
biggest farce yet. Dirty politics could
thrive and produce a monster which
woud completely destroy self govern-
ment on this campus.
That is, IFthe wrong ones gain-
ed control. But as I have already
said, political parties, handled pro-
perly by people who know and re-
spect the word "integrity" and have
a genuine interest in, and love of
East Carolina College could strength-
en our system of self government in
many ways.
If political parties do develop they
can only be controlled if the indi-
vidual student takes interest in the
affairs of the student government
and seeks to better his own position
as well as the position of his fellow
student and of the college.
An apathetic student is like a
dumb mule; impossible to lead, but
easy to drive.
Did anyone bother to read any of
Peter Vierick's poetry this week? If
not he might try one or two of them
now. May I recommend "From Anci-
ent Fangs"?

Monday morning taste in your mouth.
Too busy to have more than a quick

of your teachers calling on you to
recite something which you have
neglected to learn, then assign a
test for the following day and you
with three meetings and a party to
attend in the afternoon.
Your term paper is overdue and
your car just broke down. Your Li-
brary card is missing and all your
white shirts are dirty. Your room-
mate has gone out for the day wear-
ing your only sports coat. Two park-
ing tickets and your dues are due.
Your father calls about the three
checks you cashed last week. Youre
late for class. Your girl's not speak-
ing to you and your best friend says
"Well, why can't you help me move
my furniture?" Your tranquilisers
are out and you're catching a ter-
rible cold. Know what to do? Just
sit down and quietly sip a cup of

DON'T LOOK NOW
BUT MARY IS EVERYBODY
By PETER VIERECK
Mary, long by Boss's kisses bored,
Quit desk and stole his yacht and
jumped aboard.
Her lamb took she. for purer were
his kisses.
Com ass and pistol took she in her
purse.
Free sailed she north to eat new free-
dom up.
And her helped ocean and grew calm
nd snored.
The news hit Washington like a
bombshell. Though many people sus-
pected the delay in announcing Se-
cretary of States Dulles' condition
was an indication of seriousness, the
doctors' confirmation last weekend
that he had cancer stunned everyone.
To intensify the problem even more,
his doctors at the moment are not
certain permanent cure is possible.
Immediately after his illness was
made public, President Eisenhower
told the press that Mr. Dulles would
be : laced on a leave of absence sta-
tus. Undersecretary of State Christ-
ian Hester had been designated to
act as head of the State Department
when Dulles was hospitalized earlier
in the week. The President gave the
impression of feeling quite confi-
dent that Dulles would soon be back
on the job. He undoubtedly realized,
however, that there is a chance the
illness may prevent the Secretary's
return, and was certainly aware of
the problems that would result.
Perhaps the issue of most im-
: ortance to be decided upon is what
to do about a tentative meeting with
the Soviet Union before the Berlin
ultimatum is reached. The deadline
as set by Russian Premier Khrush-
chev is May 27. American allies have
strongly favored such a meeting with
top Soviet officials and the idea has
reportedly been becoming more and
more popular with Dulles.
If the talks did materialize, Dulles'
absence would be felt severly. Re-
gardless of who was seat to repre-
sent this country, no one, except the
President himself, would carry the
weight the Secretary would. Besides,
the allies are accustomed to Dulles
carrying the ball. With this in mind,
Mr. Eisenhower must decide what
to do. Should he send a substitute
in case Dulles could not go, appoint
a new secretary or postpone the
meeting entirely?
Several other important meetings
are scheduled within the next few
monthsthe Foreign Ministers meet-

Lng in March and the NATO Council
in April to name only two. The ac-
complishment of each one could be
curtailed considerably by the Se-
cretary's absence. Thus a similar de-
cision must be reached by the Presi-
dent on them.
Another problen Lrhapt, less
pressing from the standpoint of time
but of equal importance, is the choice
of a replacement for the 70 year-old
Secretary if it became necessary. Se-
veral names have been mentioned
prominently for the post. At the pre-
sent the choice seems to be between
Undersecretary Hester and State De-
aitment economic advisor, Douglas
Dillon.
Others include U. N. Ambassador
Henry Cabot Lade;e, General Alfred
nuenther, and banker John J. Mc-
Cloy. It would be difficult anytime
to fill such a high position, but the
current state of world affairs makes
the problem of selection even more

Dr. Messick Uges Students
To Declare Their Talents
Dear Editor:
I am ha; py to see in the issue of
the EAST CAROLINIAN of Feb-
ruary 5 articles of a constructive na-
ture concerning the college which
tend to heal some of the breaches
caused by a bad press. I want to
emphasize to the students that this
is their college and that if they want
to be proud of it, they should guard
its prestige jealously and work con-
structively always for its best in-
terests which include every area of
the collegeadministration, faculty,
students, staff, members, and cam-
pus workers, even the janitor and
dishwasher.
Every one of us should be proud
to contribute his best in his part the
same as every instrument in a great
symphony. One discordant sound de-
tracts. It can bring criticism to the
whole production, and the same is
true in an institution.
I am continually distressed by the
lack of purpose, effort, motivation,
and cooperation on the part of many
of our students. However, I am great-
ly encouraged by constructive think-
ing and ipurposeful actions of many
others.
You students, of course, should
realize that whatever you do, con-
structive or destructive, is for your-
self and that your future only re-
flects your present endeavors. Why
not wake up and live in an atmos-
phere that is most conducive to pre-
pai ing yourself for your ultimate
potential. Coasting is easy, but very,
very ex.ensive, and it may not be
revealed to you for ten years. I'm
telling you now from a broad field
of observation.
Finally, may I impress upon you
that college is supposed to be a place
of preparation, which of course fax-
eludes the socials, but that is obvious-
ly not its chief function. The pre-
paration of the mind is paramount
and that does not come without ef-
fort.
You're a great group and you can
make yourselves a powerful group.
You can make the world a much bat-
ter place to live in if you will only
assert your talents.
Fraternally yours,
John D. Messkk
There are all sorts of people in the world;
among these are roommates. Three species
are most common: the Eater, the Reader, and
me Wire-Lover.
The Eater is a very common variety, and
is sometimes an obnoxious one. He is usually
fat, but not always. Some Eaters, no matter
now much they gorge, remain thin and un-
uvried in appearance.
The Eater always has food on hand. Hi
uiesaer urawers abound with cans of bearia,
Vienna sausages, beef stew, soup, spaghetti,
and mouse tracks. He generally has a loaf oi
uitxui nearoy, and he thrives on peanut butter
sauuwicnes anu oanarias. Mis bedspread Iook
liKe an aoanUoned picnic tablecloth and a
yuv oi cnicKcii-oones uiu other scraps occu,

tjpc ia seiuom uoinersunie except when j
ii to understand wnat he says througn a
inouuiiui oi ooiogna, or when you reacn into
your pocket tor a handkerchiet and bring oir.
ix iiiee oi cneese instead.
The Keader is the bookish type &
name implies. .Most Headers wear glasses anu
leave their mouths open ail the time. The)
keep ail sorts oi oooks stacked in the room
anu are always mumoiing aoout the rack
upstairs or down the hail, if you want to turn
on the radio or ask the Keader what i.
time is or something like that, he looks up
from his book and sna.ris at you, or hammer-
you with some fifty-cent words that have
seven to eight syllables, and you never know
if you've been insulted or not because you
never know what the words mean.
Now, i have the last type of roommate
I'll discuss here. Mine is, 1 think, the mo
uangerous, as he is the deadly Wire-Lover.
He's partly an Eater too, but more definitely
the Wire-Lover. This type always has the
room he lives in congested with a tangle oi
copper, tin, aluminum, and glass pieces of
plunder that are invariably electrical. Tnt
man who lives with a Wire-Lover lives also
with a constant tear of being electrocuted,
iou know of course, that one living with this
type must never reach for the vague outline
of a coathanger or something like that with-
out first making sure it isn't a 110-Volt live
wire.
Well, I keep a small cage of live mice
under my bed, and each morning when I
wake, I turn one of my little mice loose before
I get out of bed; if the mouse makes it across
the room without being fried to a crisp, then
I know the way is safe for me. If the mouse
doesn't make it, I just stay in bed all day, and
man, I really have some overcuts now.

On Views Of Existence
By BILLY ARNOLD
Since this is my last column for the
EAST CAROLINIAN I have decided to de-
vote it entirely to the fruits of my education
some original poems. These poems were,
of course, torn from my heart in my five
years here.
People Die
People die and dogs
Die and pigs die and
Cows die and frogs
And trees and rocks
And crabs and mountains
Die. ,
And I die, too. But I'm
The only one going to
Heaven.
To hell with the rest
Of you.

Moves on; nor all your piety nor wit,

translated by E. Fitagerald.
Her buoyed the lifereserver down,

True was the pistol's aim, but in

The compas steered, but only toward

The little lamb nipped Mary's thighs

Exams are coming up and there
will be a lot of unnecessary talk
about pressures and failures.
I find that when most people get
slightly overburdened, they begin to
discuss their problems freely with
others. This creates a sort of chain
reaction and before you know it,
everybody is carrying everybody elses
problems.

JUST FOR TODAY:
1. I wiH be happy. This assumes to
be true what Abraham Lincoln
said: "Most folks are about as
happy as they make up their
minds to be
2. I will try to live through this
day only, and not tackle my
whole life problem at once.
g. I will adjust myself to what is;
and I will not keep trying to
adjust everything else to my
own desires.
4. I will exercise my soul in three
ways: 1 will do somebody a good
turn, and not gat found oat. I
will do at least two things I
dont want to do, just for exer-
cise. And today, if my feelings
are hurt, I will not show it to
anyone.
5. T will look as well as I can, dress
becomingly, talk low, act courte-
ously, criticise not one bit, and
not try to improve or regulate
anybody but myself.
6. I will have a program. I may not
follow it exactly, but I wfll hava
it. I will save myself from two
pests: hurry and indecision.
7. I will have a quiet half hour all
by myself for meditation and
relaxation. During this half hear
I will try to get a better per-
spective of my life.
8. I will be unafraid. Especially t
will not be afraid to enjoy what
is beautiful, and to believe that,
as I give to the world, so the
world will give to me.

ceremonies since becoming national
iffiliated last year. A dinner was
given in honor of the first pledges
of the Al ha pledge class. The special
guest included Dr. and Mrs. James
H. Tucker, Miss Janice Hardison, and
Alt. George C. Perry. After the din-
ner the best pledge trophy was
awarded to Billy Nichols and an to-
formal dance was held.
Toe final phase of the initation

Vet Law Changes
Korea veterans taking GI Bill
courses which do not lead to a stand-
ard college degree or an advanced
.professional goal now must begin re-
porting their classroom absences
each month to the Veterans Admini-
stration.
The new requirement stems from
a law which went in effect the first
of the year, VA said.
Under the same law, all veterans
taking GI courses which do lead to
a college degree or some professional
goal such as nursing or medical in-
ternship will not be required to list
-heir monthly absences from class.
VA reminded the 50,000 veterans
affected by this new change-over in
absence-reporting that they should
carefully check the VA Certifications
Training they fill out early in Feb-
ruary (covering GI training for the
month of January), to be sure
they're following the right reporting
procedure.
Veterans in GI courses where ab-
sences now have to be reported will
be allowed up to 30 days of absence
in a 12-month periodwithout any
eduction in the amount of training
allowance paid. Veterans who no lon-
ger have to report absences must
ontinue to attend class regularly.
Days of non-attendance will be gov-
erned by the absence of the school
in which they are enrolled.

training officer for Army Map Ser-
vice, Washington, D. C is visiting
the campus Wednesday and Thurs-
day. Wednesday he addressed the
Gamma Theta Upsilon Fraternity on
cartography work in Government
agencies, and specifically on carto-
rranhic work in (Army Map Service.
This visit, Mr. McClain's first to
the campus, will permit geography
majors to learn at first hand about
cartography work in the Government.
Army Man Service, a branch of the
lT. S. Army, is the largest mapping
agency in the world with a total
employment of over 4,000.
The department of geography is
one of the few college departments
selected for training cartographers for
em loyment with Army Map Service.
Working with AMS, the local de-
nartment utilizes manuals, maps, and
aerial photographs furnished hy this
Government organization.
East Carolina College has been
offering work in cartography during
the past four years, and has placed
many of its graduates in map work.
Currently students may elect to take
13 hours in cartogrphy: Map Read-
ing and Interpretation (5 hours);
cartography (5 hours), and aerial
photo interpretation and application
(3 hours).

Billy Arnold will not be quickly year to "Who's Who
forgotten by the students and fac- and Universities
ulty of East Carolina College. Why
Among Colleges
will he be remembered? For more
reasons than one.
Many of those who know him im-
mediately associate him with jthe
BAST CAROLINIAN, and justly so.
During his five years at EC, Arnold
has been actively engaged in the
business of making that campus
publication possible; as Sports Edi-
tor for three years, Managing Edi-
tor for two years, feature writer,
general news reporter, columnist,
cartoonist, and photographer.
In further exploring his interests
and aptitude for journalism, the tall,
slender, twenty-three year old senior
from Greenville has been an em-
ployee of his home town paper, the
DAILY REFLECTOR, where he has
done much of the same type of work
as he contributed to the EAST
CAROLINIAN. He is a member of the
staff of the REFLECTOR at present.
Last year, the versatile campus
figure displayed still another of his
literary veins by assuming the po-
sition of Co-Editor of the newly in-
itiated REBEL, the school's first
literary magazine.
Billy Arnold was a charter member
of Kap; a Sigma Nu Fraternity,
Treasurer of the Sophomore Class in
1955, a member of the Creative Writ-
ers Club, and was elected his Senior
With his many talents, with his
varied activities, with his often busy
schedule, what kind uf man is Billy
Arnold? There is no simple answer;
however, he is not an ultimately
complex fellow. At home, on campus,
in the office of the campus news-
paper, his associates and friends will
always find the same sustained
personality in his manner and being.
He is ready with a smile, and quick
with his wit; he res: ects intelligence,
and dislikes insincerity.
Arnold has shown much of his
personality and imagination in two
of his most popular products: his
cartoons and his columns. He has
caught more than a mere view of
college life in his perspective, and
has injected humor and realism into
his interpretations of that life with
a pen and typewriter.
Wrhen asked how he thought this
year's issues of the EAST CARO-
LINIAN compare with those in the
; ast, Arnold said, "the paper this
year has been the best and stated
further, "this year the school paper
has fulfilled more completely the role

East Carolina winds up their hardwood play this week and the
Pirates have a good chance of finishing as high as second place in the
final standings despite a slow start.
Bast Carolina moves on to the North State Toumamenut at Lexing-
ton and their recent victory streak could place them as either the favorities
or second seeded club.

Roddick's lightening speed kept

he paced a last-break attack which
caught the Christians napping more

The other four EGC starters had
trouble finding the range and only
Adams with 13 and Joe Plaster with
11 were able to break into the double
figures. Previously, all five starters
were averaging in the double figures.

Game Of Season
Here Od March 23
By KARROLL TEACHEY
The baseball season officially oeoa
here March 23, 24, and 26 with East
Carolina playing host to R. P. L o
New York. During the spring vaca-
tion the team travels south to par-
ticipate in the Camp Lejeune invita-
tional Baseball Tournament. The Uni-
versity of Indiana, Big Ten threat, is
expected to 'provide ample opposition
to all comers in the tournament at
the huge marine base. Following the
tournament, the Pirates travel to
Chapel Hill to take on the University
of Worth Carolina.
Coach Jim Mallory, baseball mentor
here, says that his team will play
ten non-league games before opening
conference play against Catawba. The
purpose of this is to give experience
to his young team.
With only one returning letter-
man pitcher the spotlight will prob-
ably be on the mound staff for the
coming year.
Len Baker, south-paw hurler from
Zebulon, N. C, will be the only re-
turning letterman on Mallory's pitch-
ing staff. Tom Salter and Earl Boy-
kin, relief artists, also return from
last years' team. Around these Coach
Mallory has to build the nucleus of
nis mound staff.

doubtedly just took them a while to get organized.
Salute To Seniors
Four seniors will be closing their college careers during the next
couple of weeks. They are Charlie Adams, Nick Nichols, Joe Plaster and
Jessel Curry. All are starters on this years team.
Adams hails from Gary, N. C. where he was an All-State prep star.
Charlie led his club to the state championship during his senior year and
following graduation entered Carolina on a scholarship. He was used as a
reserve until this season but has immediately come into his own and lead
the club in scoring with a 17.1 average.
Nichols played his high school ball at Leaksville and at the same
time Adams was leading his club to the 'Class A Championship, Nick was a
big factor in Tri-City capturing the AA crown. Nick was named to the
All-Tournament team in 1957 but an old shoulder injury plagued him last
year and the "Blond Bomber" was forced to sit out the season and an
operation was necessary. He is captain of this year's team.
Joe Plaster was the awkward 6-8 Virginia boy that most observers
thought would never make. "Yogi" has come a long way since his fresh-
men days here. The lanky 6-8 has gained confidence and has been a key to
the most improved men in the conference. His rebounding has been a key to
East Carolina's recent winning spurt.
Jessel Curry is the fourth departing senior. A Portsmouth native,
Curry is hailed as one of the most outstanding athletes to come out of
Woodrow Wilson High School. The same can almost be said at ECC. Curry
was named to the All-Conference and NAIA teams last season and was
s leading scorer. This year he has been a changed ball player. His
average has dipped but his team play and defense has been outstanding
and his shooting percentage from the floor shows much better accuracy.
Curry is also an outstanding performer on the track field.
