Messick Speaks
To New Group
Presidents of the organizations on
the campus have organized into a
body called the Dean's Advisory
Council. The main purpose of this
group is to answer any questions
students might have concerning the
college.
The Dean's Advisory Council has
n i power or jurisdiction to pass laws
or make direct changes in anything.
They consider seriously any recom-
mendation made and agreed upon
whether they should try and have
it carried out. Their status is strictly
that of an advisory group. They act
in the same vein as that of the
President's cabinet.

dean, originally organized the group
to act as an advisory council. When

Another ret ommendation that grew
out of the advisory council was that
the faculty be evaluated by the stu-
lents, with the objective being to
improve instruction. As a result of
this recommendation, a faculty com-
mittee was appointed with Dr. Frank
Fuller acting as chairman to carry
out the resolution made. The results
of this evaluation will be given
May 1.
Also suggested was the resolution
that the President and Dean of the

We See Little Change
Every year it's the sane story. For
three quarters and a sizeable share of sum-
i ; school one hears campus politics discuss-
al . sometimes in a hot debate, sometimes
passively.
Last year, numerous vociferous protests
were heard from one end of the school to the
other when one man ran and was elected to
the SGA Presidency. There was nothing il-
legal or faked involved in that election. One
man merely did what any student who meets
a few qualifications is capable of doing:
he filed for an office. He got it.
We wonder if it will be the same when
graduation was yesterdays ago. If our se-
lections of leaders will still be meagre. If
politics will be a game instead of a heritage.
It appears to be that way in the outside
Norld. Political machines with golden place
settings, choice cigars, blended bourbon and
Cadillacs with telephones often hand down
a processed and conditioned imitation Ameri-
can whose speeches cost more than Hollywood
ipta
Here, though, it's different. As of yet,
at ECC we see no massive machines that
grind out "yes" men. and there's still plenty
to prevent that from ever happening. The
major prevention of one-sided politics lies in
the power of the students. And, in years to
tome, this power will still be their? as citizens
of Anywhere, U. S. A.
We, as students, can use the power we
have if we like, or we can totally disregard
it. If we do the latter, however, then we have
absolutely no right to complain about what-
ever results occur.
This year, four men are running for the
campus chief executive's office, and each of
these men must be accepted or rejected by
the students. One can win.
It takes only a small amount of time to
inspect a candidate's platform, and less,
much less to make an X on a sheet of paper.
This year we have what we lacked last year:
a choice. Wiry not take it?
Herter Follows Dulles
By JAMBS M. CORBETT
The recent selection of Christian Herter
by President Eisenhower to head the State
Department in case John Foster Dulles' ill-
compels him to retire came as a sur-
prise to no one. What minor astonishment
the announcement did cause came not as a
result of his choice, but from the fact that
- to announce a successor at all. Until
ently the Chief Executive firmly refused
to admit Dulles might be incapable of con-
tinuing.
From all indication it appears the Presi-
dent made a wise choice. Undersecretary
Herter not only has more experience in State
Department affairs than any other candi-
date, but he also enjoys the most popularity,
xcept for Dulles, with the American Allies.
Mr. Herter's close friendship and as-
sociation with Secretary Dulles during
the past few years was most likely the de-
cisive factor in getting him the nod. Under
the present state of affairs, this country can-
not afford to lose the expert service of John
Foster Dulles. Though it may be argeed that
he is fully responsible for the present ten-
sion, and the argument may have merit, the
fact remains that Dulles' experience and
knowledge of condition makes him best quali-
fied to lead America safely through the Ber-
lin situation and other cold war issues. The
election of Herter provides assurance that
Mr. Dulles advice will be given serious con-
sideration and followed usually.
The two men have worked together
closely: each trusts the other implicitly.
Therefore. Mr. Herter. probably more than
.ny other man, is familiar with the reasons
behind the policies of Secretary Dulles and
will come nearest following them through.
Another good aspect of the President's
election is the effect it will have on our
allies. Long acustomed to following Dulles,
they will not be burdened with the problem of
adjusting to a complete stranger. Some of
Dulles" tactics as well as his ideas have un-
doubtedly rubbed off on his assistant and
will have considerable influence on his ac-
tions.
By naming Herter as the new State De-
partment boss. President Eisenhower also
emphasized to Russia the U. S. determiation
to stand firm in Berlin. Had he picked some-
one entirely outside the department, it could
have been interperted by the Communists as
meaning his Berlin viewpoint had changed.
Herter has demonstrated his view on the
matter, and it clearly points that no soften-
ing of demands will come from him.
The big question concerning Herter's
appointment is of course his health. Bothered
by arthritis, many officials have voiced fear
the physical strain might overcome him.
Most of these critics have been quieted, how-
ever, since Dulles was hospitalized and the
assistant assumed full duties of running the
State Department. He has shown his capa-
bility during this time, both mentally and
physically.
Herter may lack the vitality that Dulles
displayed and may not carry the same pres-
tige, but the former is not entirely necessary
and the latter will come with timt. And his
conscientious attitude will balance out his
shortcomings. Besides, he's the nearest du-
plicate of Dulles we have.

Speaking
lt KATHRYN JOHNSON
This week-end we had one of the
noot valuable and interesting ex-
periences of our short journalistic
carter i. e. . . attending in New York
the first annual Conference for Col-
lege Student Editors sponsored by
the Overseas Press Club of America
and the United States National Stu-
dent Association.
Since the Press Club has at its
disposal the most noted journalists
and foreign affairs experts, the list
of speakers was most impressive and
almost astounding. Student editors
were able to have conferences with
U. N. delegates from several foreign
countries, several ambassadors and
former ambassadors, foreign corres-
pondents, and foreign affairs experts,
and a few former U. S. Congress-
men.
This conference was aimed at
teaching students from leading col-
lege campuses more about national
and international problems confront-
ing the world today in hopes that
they would go back to their campuses
and attempt to stir up some in-
terest in foreign affairs.
Heaven knows we should be in-
terested! We, along with our child-
ren, are the ones who will be living
in the next fifty years. One wrong
move, one war unprepared for, not
enousih friendly allies, or poverty
and starvation could send our free
world up in a cloud of smoke and
Communism would be king.
Groups such as the National Stu-
dent Association which attempted to
prepare students for the world and
world problems are so valuable.
Someone must do it; college rarely
d-es.
Last week I heard a student say
he was against ECC's participa-
tion in such outside organizations.
We should settle the problems on
campus first, he said. Thank good-
ness he didn't run for an SGA office;
he was good looking, he might have
won.
What could be more important
than the Berlin situation which could
inge ns into another war? Or the
fact that in some countries, universi-
ties are shut down? Or that right
here in ur own country, people are
starving? Or can't afford to be edu-
eated? Or that here in a land of
equal rights and freedom, some
people are not treated as equals?
This young fellow was just as stu-
pid as the one who said we should
cut out foreign aid. He did not know
that if we do not provide aid for
some countries, we could be forced
to stand alone in the next war.
What could be more important
tlian a free world? Later hours for
girls, unlimited cuts, more parking
space, or drinking priviledges per-
haps.
In many countries, such as Cuba,
students died to make their country
free.
Here in our comfortable U.S. we
dc not have to die yet. But we can
inform ourselves. We can voice onr
opinions and voice them strongly. So
strongly that our leaderslocal,
state, national, and world-wide, know
how the leaders of tomorrow feel,
what they think, or rather, that they
even think.
Prexy Candidates
It probably is not important to
anyone else, but only one of the can-
d ites for student government
president speaks correct English.
That used by the other three candi-
dates is atrocious.
Of course as I have been remind-
ed by one of the English faculty
here, correct English is only conform-
ity. Rut heck, a college graduate
could conform to one or two rules of
grammar, and they certainly would
make a better impression. Perhaps
that's why people still call us
"E.C.T.C . because moat of the
people here sound like Aaron Slick
from Pumpkin Creek.
Now we don't really mind if
people choose to aay he dont, or
"I have did But to listen to the
president of our high exalted student
government talk this way for the
next yearon and off campus
would grate on our nerves consider-
ably.
The old prexy represents our cam-
pus every where he goes, officially
or unofficially. So as for ns, wo
want our president to speak correct
English, conformity or no.

Bermuda Shorts, Warm Afternoon, Breeze
Signs Of Spi ing On Peaceful River Bank
There are some on campus who are
(.In enough and in a position to know
the value of the impressions others
have of one. These persons should,
by now, realize that power does not
command respect and any more than
snobbishness calls for admiration.
If these persons would take in-
ventory of themselves and take a
glance at their actions through the
eyes of others they would realise
what perfect fools they make of
themselves at times.
Perhaps this realisation would give
them some indication of the resent-
ment that can rise from one act or
a few words. Then maybe they would
at least show the courtesy that goes
along with common decency and stop
acting like an illiterate, uncouth, im-
mature individual.
And you who jump when these
few "bark" at you should rebel at
their actions and neither respect nor
fear them until they act in a manner
worthy of your considerations.
Until they "shape up" the best
thing to do is to ignore them.

Their long exposure to the college

the children's play is probably the
most popular of all the student pro-
ductions. Scads of children see it and
since they dont bother to analyse the
play and its actors, they enjoy it
like mad.
Once upon a time there were three bears.
Papa Bear, Mama Bear, and Oscar.
Mama Bear was a happy, carefree crea-
ture who always had an Ipana smile and a
ong to sing, een though she had the cave-
work to do, and a third shift job at the mill
that provided the extra money needed to send
Oscar to school.
Papa Bear was a heavy, muscular Gri2-
zily with more temper than brains. He was
always grouchy and disagreeable, especially
in the morning. He was born up North where
ars are brought up on "lean meat and biack-
tyed peas' und where they separate the bars
from the cubs.
He was thoroughly convinced that he
wore the pants in the family, and that all
important home decisions were solely his.
This was by no means true, however, because
Mama Bear had a way of making Papa
Bear think that her decisions were his.
Papa Bear had met his spouse one day
at a convention in Yellowstone Park, and
had really "flipped" over her right away.
She was everything he wanted in a bear;
charm, figure, beady eyes, anthracite nose,
and beautiful glossy brown fur. She had
pride in her fur, and took good care of it
She was a Luster-Cream Girl.
Mama Bear had fallen for Papa im-
mediately also. She loved his hairy chest and
his strength. She marveled at the way his
muscles flexed in his back as he climbed trees
to show off for her.
Oscar was born the first year after they
were married, and Papa Bear was overjoyed.
He hollered and whooped so much the neigh-
bors complained. He yelled and pranced
around so wildly that he nearly tore up the
cave.
.Oscar proved a disappointment later,
though. He was nothing at all like his pappy.
He was rather small and never had much to
say. He wus very- sensitive, well-behaved.
and made good grades in school.
He loved to read, and instead of climb-
ing trees and eating fish and bugs like most
other growing bears, he read books on Botany
and Insects. He had asthma too.
The situation was a frustrating one for
Oscar as well as for his dad. He never seemed
able to make his dad happy or proud of him,
no matter how good his grades or conduct
wfere.
Finally. Oscar started drinking. One
night the State Possums arrested him for
crossing the highway under the influence of
alcohol. He hud a big row with his Papa, and
the next day lie ran away with the circus.
Last I heard he was with Barnum and
Bailey.
Beatniks? Phooey!
Pseudo-Intellectuals
Disregard Honesty
By JEAN ANN WATERS
You have to be odd to be an artist. That
is a lot of bull! It is a widely accepted theory,
particularly on the college campus, but it is
still pure nonsense.
Artists include, you understand, writers,
dancers, painters, and what have you.
Just because some artists happen to be
strange doesn't mean that all of them are,
and it doesn't mean that a person has to be
strange to be considered an artist
How can an individual interpret life if
he himself lives one that is totally different
from everybody else? Now I'm not advocat-
ing mass conformity; I believe in individual-
ism. But some things can be carried too far.
Take this beatnik jag, for instance. A
group of pseudo-intellectuals gets together
decides to be arty. They think they can get
away with all sorts of things under the pre-
tense that they are being artistic
No one has ever became great by just
wanting to be. That is obvious. No one can
be an artist by just saying he is one, either.
No one knows how much sweat and good
hard work goes into creating except the ar-
tist himself.
The work that some of these people turn
out sometimes doesn't merit what little ef-
fort was required to do it. Writers seem to
be particularly guilty of this. It appears that
large numbers of prospective authors think
they can write and that fact permits them to
disregard form, construction, and simple
rules of grammar.
On top of all that, some of these trans-
gressors don't even make good sense. They
leave the reader with the uneasy feeling that
they are slightly insane or maybe drunk.
Modern dance frequently produce the
same sensations.
Be odd, if that is the way you really are.
But don't try to be weird just to bt like a
certain group. Be honest about yourself.
There is too much imitation in this worid,
anyway, and not enough sincerety.
Don't settle for medicority under the il-
lusion that you're being artistic, because you
aren't

are a couple of other members of the
staff who may get a regular slot.
A couple of veterans will be in the
starting infield Monday afternoon.
Al Vaughn, all-conference second
haseman, and Jimmy Martin, first
sacker and the club's top hitter last
season, will be in the starting line-
up. Glenn Bass, a sophomore, will
probably get the starting nod at
shortstop and freshman Bob Hart
will be at third.
The starting outfield will probably
consist of Tommy Nance, Bill Alt-
man, and Bob Menifee. The latter is
a freshman while the former two
were regulars last season.
Doug Watts, hard-working senior,
gets the nod at the catching slot.
Watts has been on the club for the
past three seasons and is one of the
ton defensive men in the conference
but has lacked power at the plate
in previous years.
Good weather this spring has en-
abled the squad to get plenty of
work although lack of experience will
be a factor working against the Bucs
in early season play.
Starting time for the game will be
2:45. Five night games are slated
for the Pirates during the latter
part of the season when the weather
is warmer.

Due to the current demands, the

are up against this spring.
Eight Lettermen
McDonald will build his squad

amount of $6.00 hf order to do so.

high hurdles and participate in the
shot, javelin and discus.
Curry Brightest Spot
Rounding out the list of lettermen
is Jess Curry, Buc basketball ace.
Coach McDonald was somewhat re-
luctant to name the events Curry
will participate in. "I do know that
he will broad jump, throw the javelin,

spot in the pole vault event when he

the performance of Pete West, a
transfer from State College, and
F. O. Nunn. In addition to pole vault-
ing both are excellent high jumpers.
Football halfback Lee Atkinson did
not go out for track last year but is
definitely going to run in the dash
event this year. Ronny Knouse and
Gordon Peoples are doing well in the
shot and discus thus far.
Other promising prospect are Pete
Finnigan, Ron Harris, Cedric John-
son, Gerald Nethercutt and Bob
Green.
This is Coach Bill McDonald's first
year as track coach at East Carolina.
He replaces Coach J. O. Miller who
has decided to spend more time in
the academic phase of the Depart-
ment of Health and Physical Educa-
tion. McDonald anticipates a very
good season and stated, "I am quite
fortunate to have the boys needed to
have a winning season
As yon are reading tha column a small group of stout hearted and
desirous young men are many hundreds of miles away from East Caro-
lina attempting to repeat a 1957 feat that brought fame to the swimming
world of this institution. It was in 1957 that Coach Ray Martinez's swim-
ming and diving team copped first place in the National Association 0f
Inter-collegiate Athletics championships held at Munice, Indiana.
Todav and tomorrow (March 19th and 20th) his 1959 team will be
exerting all possible efforts to emerge in the top bracket. Last year's
championships there saw the Pirates come home with fourth place hocort.
Since the '57 and '58 meets, the times have been lowered in practically
every evert. In a meet with Florida State this winter, for instance, Mar-
ines remarked, "One of our boys took first place a number of times in
: pvent during the last two years but the times are getting so much
WeT that he has been getting seconds and thirds with even better times.
vhc competition in swimming is growing he stated further. This is of
ourse certainly true. With the coming of automation we took to the auto-
mobile and soon became tired of tinkering with it for pastime Then we
ought another escape from the drudgery of everyday life. Many thousands
of Americans have found it in the form of boating and water skiing. With
Khee two sports rising with fantastic authority, the ability to swim better
had to come also. More emphasis has been placed on swimming than ever
before, and colleges and universities are stressing it with course require-
ments, if not requests. High school meets are rising all over the country
and thus the times in the various events will be bettered each and every
veai. Certainly an absolute minimum will be attained in some event?
far as the seconds goes, but the tenths of seconds will ayways be cut
after meet.
Thus it is just that simple. Martinez and his swimmers kuow what
the others at the Indiana meet can do at maximum effort. If his times are
better he will win ofcourse, but then this works two ways too. All -
colleges entered also know what East Carolina's best times are too and
even before the meet takes place, most coaches know whether or not they
can take each other in the various events. Many people do not realize
that swimming is this scientific, this cut and dried, this calculating; but it is.
Some of th top stars on the club making the trip are Glen Dyer.
Ken Midyette, Jack McCann, Jim Meades, Bob Sawyer, Jake Smith, Tom
Tucker and Tommy Carroll
Mallory All Smiles
Coach "Slim Jim" Mallory grins from ear to ear when the names of
certain new faces on the Pirate baseball squad are mentioned. He has a
rough schedule and with the addition of Rensselaer Poly Tech Instit
ere on March 23rd and 24th, his club now will play 23 baseball conte-
Mallory has nothing but praise for his left handed freshman, Tobacco
State League star Larry Crayton. Right handed hurling John Ellen worked
with Crayton in this league and both are going to be permanent fixtures on
Mallory's moundstaff. "Another new boy named Nathan Greene has been
showing me a real good curve ball this week and we expect a lot from him
Mallory stated.
Coach Mallory also liked to talk about outfielders Bob Gilden and
Bob Menifee, but believes 63" 180 pound Hubert Castelow of Windsor
be making a lot of people talk before the season is over. Coatelow has a
good chance of starting at shortstop as he posseses quick hands, is fast
and swings a powerful bat from the left side of the plate.
Others among the "none lettermen" who have been impressive are
Bob Hart and Donnie Warren at third base. Shortstop Charles Johnson
shows much promise and Mitchell Moon seems to be the most improved
player over last year's returning group.
"One thing is for sure though commented Mallory. "This New
York (Troy) College has a great club and those two opening games will
give us a great chance to find out many things about ourselves
The Buc nine will also make a two game home stand on March 30th
and 31st when the University of Deleware invades Pirate Stadium.
Sport Notes
Basketball Coach Earl Smith has been on the move during the past
few weeks seeking new talent. He was in 'Rocky Mount one night, up in
New Jersey the following evening. Rebuilding the 1969-60 club is putting it
mildly. Filling the shoes of Joe Plaster, Jessel Curry, Charlie Adams, Dennis
Obrien and Nick Nichols is easier said than done.

Chevy stops quickest goes farthest on a gallon!
Chevy showed the beat brakes of the
leading low-priced three in a test of
repeated stops at highway speeds eon-
ducted and certified by NASCAR.
Chevy also won over the other two in
a NASCAR economy runwith the
highest gas mileage for 6's and V8's at
cruising speeds of just over 55 miles
an hour.
Here's a car that knows how to get
the most out of a gallon. And it's the
only car in its field to bring you
hydraulic valve lifters in all popular
engines6 and V8. This means
smoother, quieter performance for you.
There are many other advances just
as fundamental as the efficiency of
Chevrolet's engines and the depend-
ability of its new brakes (with more lire
