The first ten winners of these prizes were Carlton Beaman, Charles Pierce, Terry Bennett, Albert Can- non, Rosa Dalton, Fred Overman, Bob Connelly, Bill Ward, Bobby Ward, and Bob Carroll. Technical Staff Prepares Theatre For Future Play Rehearsals are well under way for the EC Playhouse Little Theatre pro- duction of William Shakespeare's im- mortal love story, "Romeo and Juliet The technical staff, under the di- rection of Robert T. Rickert of the English Department faculty, has also been at work in the Sylvan Theatre erecting platforms and a balcony for the staging of the many scenes that make up the action of the play. As- sisting on the scenery committee are Dan Yanchison, Janice Hardison, Elizabeth Smith, Kenneth Kilpatrick, George Ray and Bonnie Stultz. Choreographer for the production, Inez Laube, has designed both a gen- eral and a special dance for the pic- turesque ballroom scene when Romeo and Juliet first meet. In charge of lighting is Bill Faulk- ner, newly elected president of the Playhouse, while Dorothy Pierce, wife of actor Norman Pierce, who plays the apothecary, chairs the properties committee. Costumes of the Tudor period have been ordered by Suzie Webb, who has extracted a promise of "the best in the house" from Hooker-Howe in Massachusetts. Sylvia Ruston, veteran Playhouse trouper, heads a large make-up com- mittee including Leigh Dobson, Alice Ann Home, Pat Roberts, Charles Jenkins, and others. The fencing in- struction necessary for a realistic act- ing of the fight scenes comes from Merle Kelly, a Playhouse performer who studied fencing under profession- al instructors while with the U.S. Army in Germany. Performances of "Romeo and Ju- liet" are scheduled for May 6 and 7 in the Sylvan Theatre at 8:00 P. M. Under the sponsorship of the Student Government Association and as a pro- gram of the Greenville Fine Arts Festival, this production is open to students and to the general public without charge for admission. Students To Evaluate EC Faculty Members On Teaching Abilities Working through the Dean's Advi- sory Committee of the Student Go- vernment Association a special com- mittee will begin a student evaluation of East Carolina teachers during the week of May 4-8. The committee, headed by Dr. Frank G. Fuller, with Dr. Audrey V. Dempsey, Ellen C. Fleming, Dr. Frank A. Scott, and Dr. Robert Hau- brich, will send out questionaires to each faculty member. The professors will, in turn, give them to the stu- dents to filled out and turned in. No names will be used s the faculty will not know which student is giv- ing his opinion. The teachers may tien study the ratings given them to help determine their weak points. Later a total ta- bulation sheet will be made including all teachers from all classes. No names will be used on this either, since the program is designed to let the teachers discover their weak points for themselves and preserve the anonymity of both students and faculty members, to insure that the major value of the program, faculty self-appraisal in the light of student opinion, will be more reliable. Dr. Frank G. Fuller, chairman of the committee, said, "I think the program should be beneficial to the faculty members to know how stu- dents feel and to students to have an opportunity to express themselves in this way The following are examples taken from the question sheet which the stu- dents will fill out. Does the teacher organize his ma- terial? Is he interesting in his pre- sentation of materialIs library work worth the time consumed? Are ex- aminations advised so as to test your grasp of principles as well as of de- tails? Is the teacher sarcastic? Do you respect him? Do you consider this course valuable? Questions will cover subject mat- ter, classroom procedure, grading and testing, student relations, personality and miscellaneous.

By JAMES M. CORBETT In recent weeks the word nepotism; has become as much a household word as vicuna coats and Bernard Goldfine were in months past. Nepotism, or the practice by congress- men of employing relatives in their office, is as old as congress itself. 3ecause of a sudden barrage of publicity, however, it has slowly aroused public interest to a boiling point and caused many people to take a second look at their congress and congressmen. The results of that second look are disturbing and, ip. many cases, disgusting. The U. S. Congress as we know it today employes a double standard of ethics, one they preach; one they practice. History books are full of cases where congress has been in- strumental in exposing unsavory and illegal dealings within the government. More recent cases include the five-percent and mink coat scandals of the Truman administration and later Goldfine-Adams incident. Former Se- cretary of Defense Charles Wilson was re- quired by congress to dispose of his holdings in General Motors before his appointment to that post was approved. ' They are but a few of the cases wherfc rigid code of ethics were applied and for each" case congress is to be commended. The hard facts are, however, that many congressmen feel they are exempt from the very standards they set for others. For this they are to be condemned. Charles Wilson was required to sell his General Motors stocks, but many members of congress openly admit owning stock in com- panies whose earnings are greatly influenced' by governmental contracts. Many special Com- mittee members own a large amount of stock in utility companies that are regulated by that particular committee. Former lawyers who get to Washington find it very beneficial to continue their law practice back home. Clients find that law firms having close con- nections with Washington lawmakers can sometimes get special considerations for their cases; consequently, business flourishes and members prosper. When individual congressmen are con- fronted with these particulars; however, they insist their personal connections have no in- fluence on their lawmaking. In some cases, this is undoubtedly true; in others, circum- stances have given rise to grave doubt. Fortunately, there are certain members of congress who have attempted to correct some of the evils of our lawmaking body. Senator WTayne Morse of Oregon is a good example. He has constantly introduced bills that would require congressmen to publish their financial transactions. So far his at- tempts have been futile. Many times the pro- posals died in the committee and never reached the floor for debate. He is not alone in the fight. Others have fought equally hard and have been equally unsuccessful. The overpowering number who oppose such legislation causes great doubt as to whe- ther anything can be done. Despite the fact that legislators are direct representatives of a public opposed to such dealings, the fact re mains that when actual voting comes, the con- gressman can vote at will. This creates a block against any legislation to which they mav be opposed, personally or professionally. An unless public interest and action reach a much greater height than at present, that block will never be broken. Give EC Your Support Concern is mounting daily among stu- dents, faculty, and the administration over East Carolina's need for more money from the Legislature. More money is needed not only to enrich the program here, but also to carry on the present one.

But the local cast fought and came up with a show well-worth the price of a ticket. AHce Ann Home was an outstand- ing contribution and one could easily detect her previous stage experience. Miss Home scurried on to the stage and immediately dominated the bulg- ing eyes of the viewers. Her darling accent combined with her flashy at- tire gave Alice Ann the necessary Monroe appearance. In portraying Cherie, a fast-talking singer whose profession depended on the way her body swayed, Miss Home charmed the audience with her stately beauty and complete grasp of characteriza- tion. Probably her most comical and best scene occurred when she screamed her rendition of "Old Black Magic which proved that a terrific voice isn't essential when Alice Ann is perched on a table. Leading man Bob Whiting had a b'ow start, probably because of a slight case of stage nerves, but by the latter part of the second act, Bob was in rare form. One of the advantages offered was that Bob looked like Bo Decker. His tall frame equipped with a boyish face and Presley sideburns provided Mr. Whiting with a head start in his first stage appearance. Considering the fact that the part didn't call for any "Hamlet" acting, Bob did a bang- up job in his part . . . literally! The play's characters were, for the most part, a group of unusual and interesting people. Probably the most hilarious characters were por- trayed by Del Driver and H. D. Rowe. Del entertained us with a typical Driver performance . . . out- standing! Mr. Driver's cranky walk, old-timer's speech and "tobacco chewin all contributed to his mar- velous portrayal of Will Masters, the sheriff who had to prove he was a tough man. As a former college professor who snent his time with liquor and young ' girls, Mr. Rowe gave a staggering performance in the challenging role o Dr. Lyman. When he first arrived on the scene Mr. Rowe's poor make- up job detracted from his character, hu't as the play progressed his beau- tiful voice and spicy lines perked up several of the less active scenes. His imdressive speech on love and the con&cal Romeo recitation lent a new twis't; to the light-hearted comedy. 1 Rath Coplan who portrayed the young naive waitress was commend- able in the first act; and in the se- cond her Juliet speech brought forth bursts of laughter frdm the unsus- pecting audience. She seemed to fall more into character as the play pressed onward. Playing the part of Miss Coplan's boss lady, Grace, own- er of the diner, was Faye Leggett, who projected well. In the first act she delivered several lines that should have received more laughs, but all in all her performance was pleasing to to the eye and ear. The remaining important roles were handled by Jay Robbins and Mahlon Coles. Jay was indeed out- standing 'in his tobacco-spitting ex- hibition. Unfortunately Jay's youth- ful appearance did not quite coincide with the old-timer's role, but his guitar plunking and "Chester" drawl added significance to his small role. Mr. Coles, a frequent participant in Little Theatre productions played the usually insignificant role of the bus driver. Mr. Coles was definitely be- lievable as the snow boy who was af- ter boss lady and succeeded in his cam- paign. Mr. Coles' showing was well above average and a credit to the terrific cast. The play, which was written by William Inge, was not an outstand- ing play. There seemed to be too much action followed by long speeches, causing the play to dawdle. The play's success had to depend entirely on the performers themselves and they came through with an excellent play. It's exceedingly difficult to pick the best performances, probably Alice Ann and Bubba Driver deserves the award, but the complete cast was above par. aaacw 0iNc!cv& THURSDAY, APRIL 23, 1959 We Liked Him w dwwmwwwwfrat, OH, $tqLitftm &&$ $!& M tef Fuzz Knew Everybody By DERRY WALKER &&& Constitution Work Progresses Senate Wins, Students Lose, NSA Ruined Out; Did Our Membership Really Cost Too Much? The SGA's work on the new cons- titution is progressing. A strong committee, headed by President Dallas Wells, has been formed and is now holding meetings. Attempts are to be made soon to contact alum- ni who are qualified to aid in form- ing a stable, conservative, and dem- ocratic basis, on which our Student Government will rest. The advice of alumni will be sought, for they have a view of student problems which has been tempered by years of ex- perience. It is unfortunate that the old cons- titution was violated. Of course, the Senate working with its usual ef- ficiency knew that the old constitu- tion could be destroyed by removing us from the NSA. This columnist thinks the mote was ingenious and indicative of the fine leadership the Senate has had this year. Once the new constitution is in effect we must ban together and ask the NSA to accept us once more, but by then the present administration will be out of office, and the new men will see to that.

They realize that their au- thority could be challenged, but they are capable of taking the risk be- cause all the students know their integrity is beyond reproach. Exactly, how did the Senate go about its job? I watched from the sidelines. After months of close study, Senate leaders decided that the way must be cleared for the new constitu- tion. So, they found Article II of the old one which stated, . . . It shall be a duty of the SGA to par- ticipate in (the) National . . . Stu- dent . . . Government Seeing that, they immediately realized the full extent of the opportunityECC could save $225 per year by with- drawing from the NSA. (Then we could hire another soccer player to join our ever expanding team.) A leader rose from the floor, shouted, ranted, raved, until he got the at- tention of most of the people in the soda shop. Then he said in a voice tinged with truth, "The NSA are Castroists, clodists, clumpists, and the NSA is costing our college a whole heap of money each minute "Let's drop it some years. It's going to be a winter. long It seems that another mass meet- ing is in the air. Such a meeting would be used to reach the students. Wade Bodenheimer and his Student Devel- opment Council could well use such a meeting to gain student support for their work. There was once a little professor whom I will call Dr. Fuzz. Dr. Fuzz was a remarkable fellow. He could speak seven or eight languages and he loved to prop one foot on his desk and recite Russian Poetry. He knew all the members of the class by name the third day we met and he always knew the page numbers of the as- signments without consulting the book dur- ing the hour period. When he assigned term papers, he had no list to go by, he just seemed to pull the topics out of his head and knew when he had given all twenty-seven of us topics without calling the role to check. He never called the role, as a matter of fact. With a very few exceptions, no one ever cut his classes. I cut it only once myself, and that was the da- flagpole fell on my head. I would have mad" it that day, but I couldn't get my head through the door. When Dr. Fuzz gave us a quiz, nobody dreaded it. For some strange reason, the m terial he questioned us about seemed easy to recall. You would just sit there and read the question and. words would begin creep through your convolutions, and suddenly you had a paragraph or two that made sense and answered the question too. When the quiz was over, there were none of those "tired blood" after-effects; you didn't feel like some- one had stuck a garden hose in your ear and opened it full blast, and you didn't have wri- ter's cramp like you do after some tests. When you finished the test, left, and a cigarette you felt relaxedpurged. And then you realized that the test seemed easy not because it was simple, but because you had actually learned something that had stuck. Dr. Fuzz wasn't generous with good grades during the quarter; we just went to class, listened, and did our work, as if we were hypnotized. Maybe we were. When grades came out, a couple of two's were grant- ed, and the rest of us got three's. No one complained, no one hollered "shaft The quarter was over and that was it. We kind of hated it. Dr. Fuzz left EC, not because he dis- liked the school, but because he was offered a better salary somewhere else. It was un- fortunate, but that's how the waves wiggle. It costs more to have the best, and if you're unable to pay, then you're liable to lose it.

They went to the trouble of putting quotation marks around the mi spelled words, but here are some excerpts from their report minus the identifying marks, just for fun: "Students have reported on their medical histories such childhood ill- nesses as measels, bronicle nomonia, hooping cough, rumatic feavor and diptherie. During their adolescense many are afflicted with asms, aceute apendisidus (usually followed by an appendictmy), heart mummers due to rhuemantic fever, stemmach truble and toncilitas.

Long, Director Cradiate Sta&a ami Woman Cries As Boy Clings To The Fence By TOM JACKSON The slight breeze ruffeled his blonde hair and tossed it about aimlessly but it didn't matter because it already had that wild unkept look about it, like a small patch of bear grass in the spring, dead and mashed in all directions by the snow. Still, with all it's shabby disaray the hair had a tender look about it. Maybe it seem- ed in place with his shining blue eyes and freckled white skin. Or maybe the constant shifting of directions made it seem even more curly than it already was. The blue dungerees he wore were almost white at the knees from wear and many wash- ings and were getting fuzzy around the cuffs but they were spotlessly clean, as was his red cowboy shirt with the mended three-cor- nered tear in the back. He wore no coat it was one of those won- derfully warm, sun-shiny days that come in the spring making the following week of cloudiness seem even more dreary. The woman, probably his mother, stood a little behind him and watched with mixed emotions. Some pride, some pity, lots of sor- row and maybe a touch of despair. She was a grey woman. You know, faded grey clothes, colorless eyes, and her hair, al- though brown, gave the impression of being grey. Even her face seemed grey. It was one of those faces that you never remember. Just a face . . . nothing outstanding, not pretty, not ugly, just a face. As she watch the boy, who couldn't have been over nine years old . . . probably only seven or eight, he moved closer to the steel mesh fence and grasped it with both hands just above his shoulders. Then he stood on tip toe and kissed the man who was inside. As he pressed closer to the fence it bit into his face and left a cris- cross impression on the tender skin. The man inside grunted embarrasingly then stood up again and glanced around. He was the spitting image of the kid except for his eyes. His eyes were blue too, but they were not the baby-blue of the boy's. They were cold blue, like cold steel, and were, now, only narrow slits in his face. He didn't look at the kid. As a matter of fact he didn't look at anything for very long, but was con- stantly glancing here and there. His eyes couldn't be still. They were the eyes of a desperate trapped animal. Darting, seaching, never still. Then he turned slowly and walked to- ward the door of the large brick and steel building across the lawn. His feet dragged a little and his head was bowed the slightest bit The little boy still clung to the fence and a tear dropped slowly from the wo- man's eye. Over the door of the building was a white sign with stiff stenciled-on black letters, PRISON FARM, N. C. CAMP No. 'KPDAY.

Many North Carolinians are also impressed with the school's mounting statistics; however, if the new appropriations don't come through, the people who come to visit EC .nay be very much surprised to see students sleeping under trees, eating on picnic tables, and attending classes held in hall- vays and attics. How long must a school maintain a top enrollment rating, the third largest state-supported, and still be n the bottom of the appropriations ist Better still, how long CAN it? How long can it continue to meet operational expenses and salaries like Ebenezer Scrooge? How can it muffle the squeal of a buffalo-nickel that is being squeezed to hard? Must the school he forced to turn away an honor high-school student because of insufficient facilitiesespecially at a time when higher education is of such great concern to world powers? The backbone of a college is its faculty. To get a good instructor, you must pay him good money. To keep a good faculty member, you must pay him more as his value in- creases. The EC faculty abounds with men and women who have spent their lives educating themselves so that they might educate others, and like doc- tors, lawyers, and noodle-stringers, they like to advancein position and salary. Starting salaries for EC fa- culty members are not bad, but longe- vity at this school is not rewarded. They get the advancement, but the Ion? arm of Ebenezer Scrooge again handles the money situation. It takes a lot of money to run a colleire. It takes a lot more to double the size of one. Perhaps the EC en- rollment will skyrocket no more; it will continue to increase though. There won't be another 250 per cent increase in enrollment for some time, but before there can be any increase at all, the school must meet its pre- sent needs. It cannot meet these 7 -i JLi t),a.a needs unless they are knownby le- al m pie task to spread theses . . . gislators, by educators, and by the general tax-paying public of North Carolina. And againhow do you tell them? East Carolina College has the po- tential ingredients for making one of the outstanding schools in the Southland, but it wants to shove no other schools off the educational map. It merely wants to pay its wayand it can, with the grace of the North Carolina State Legislature, do so. Faculty Members Achieve Positions Of Prominence In Respective A rets Of Study By TOM JACKSON Messick Accepts Two Invitations President John D. Messick has been invited by the International In- stitute of Arts and Letters to become a life fellow of the organization. The International Institute of Art! and Letters was established under the laws of Switzerland, December 10, 1907. Its purpose is to promote "In- ternational cooperation in the culti- vation and promotion of Arts, Let- ters, and Sciences Regular membership is limited to 760 fellows and corresponding mem- bers "qualified by notable achieve- ments in Arts and Letters or in Sciences and other fields of culture It numbers as associates many pro- minent authors and artists through- out the world. President Messick has also ac- cepted an invitation to participate in an Intellectual Life Conference to be held under the sponsorship of the Association of American Colleges at the Key Biscayne Hotel, Miami, Flori- da, July 31-August 9. Dr. Messick is one of sixteen col- lege and university presidents invited to attend the conference. loosl Publishes Elementary Science Textbook Series Dr. Austin D. Bond, faculty mem- ber of the Department of Science at East Carolina College, is co-author of a series of textbooks in elementary science "The Developmental Science Series the fifth volume of which has just been published by Lyona and and Carnahan. The new volume, entitled "Experi- menting In Science is designed for use in the fourth grade. A text of 255 pages, it is illustrated with color- ed drawings and plates. Four other volumes, including a primer and text for the first, the second, and the third grades, were published last fall. They are entitled, respectively, "Getting Ready "Look- ing at Science "Thinking about Science and "Knowing about Science Dr. Bond and his co-authors have written for each of these booke a guide for teaehers. The guide for "Experimenting in Science" will be issued by the publishers later this month. The fifth and sixth grade texts in "The Developmental Science Series are now in the hands of the printers and are expected to appear this summer. Each class day at East Carolina the 198 faculty members stand be- fore classes of from 10 to S) students and carry out their seemisgly mono- tonous job of teaching. The same rou- tine every day. But when not teaching classes, many of them are doing jobs and working on projects from which many of us receive benefits unknow- ingly. Some of East Carolina professors who have recently published books are Louise Greer wh published Browning And Amenta (U.N.C. Press); Dr. Richard Tedd, Confede- rate Finance (U. of Ga. Fress) which von the Mrs. Simon Bauch Univer- sity Prize; Dr. LawrenceF. Brewster, Summer Migrations and Resorta of Sonh Carolina Low-Country Planter (Duke TJ. Press); Dr. Austin D. Bond is co-author of a five volume series of textbooks in elementary school science entitled The Develop- mental Science Series (Lyons and Conahan); and Orvid Pierce, who wrote a best selling novel The Plan- tation (Doubleday and Co.) and is nresently working on a second one reduled for publication this fall. Many of them have kad their dis- sertations published by Tarions found- ations and have won prizes for their hooks and articles. Quite a few have had articles published in scholastic, educational, and professional jour- nals and magazines. Some of them have monthly article and one has been writing regularly for a teaching journal for seven year. Other East Carolina professors are serving the educational world by working with various educational or- ganizations. Among those who have been and still are outstanding in various organizations of this type are Dr. Elizabeth Utterback, President of the Greenville Chapter of the Ameri- can Association of University Wo- men; Dr. Frank Hosldns, Secretary- Treasurer of the Southern Renais- sance Conference; Dr. Edgar Hirsh- herg, secretary-treasurer of the North Carolina-Virginia Regional Col- lege English Association and Dr. James Poindexter, past president of North Carolina-Virginia Regional F.nglish Association. Others are: Dr. Clinton Prewett, Vice President of the Division ef Higher Education of the North Caro- lina Educational Association; Dr. Elmer Browning, counselor for the Southern Institute of Management and the American Institute of Ma- nagement; Dr. Richard Todd, Nation- al President of Phi Sigma Pi hono- rary educational fraternity; Dr. Aa- drey Dempsey National President of Pi Omega Pi business education fra- ternity; and Dr. Frank Fuller who represents the North Eastern district on the Board of Directors of North Carolina Educational Association and Dr. Meredith Posey, past president of the North Carolina Speech Associa- tion. Other professors have concentrated their efforts on further study, both at home and abroad. Among those who have recently shown outstanding merit in this field are: Dr. Joseph Steelman and H. D. Rowe who held Southern Fellowships, Dr. George Pasti of the Social Saniiee Department who has just received a fellowship in Asian studies from Har- vard University and will spend next year there, and Dr. Edgar Hirahaerg has held two Danforth Fellowship for study at leading universities. Some of those wno have recently studied abroad on fellowships and oa their own funds include: Dr. Laeill Charles, England and Switaaraaad; Dr. Elizabeth Utterback, Mrs. Marguerite Perry, Franca, ico, and Spain; Dr. Robert England; Dr. Corinne Rickert, Oa- kland; Dr. George Cook, who m mra- sently on leave of abacs la Osa- ma ny; Mr. Paul Hickfang, German; Dr. James Poindexter, England; Dr. Harry Goldgar, France; Dr. Frank Hoskins, England; and Mr. Brie Graf and Dr. Gertrude Graf whe ar teaching the first German and Boav sian courses here and who hav em- died in several foreign univriO. Thus it becomes apparent many of EC's professors ar work in ways that one never ines. Work that, each day, contribotas more and more to the vast field ti knowledge and to our ever growing society.

The Christians slipped up against Catawba and lost a 3-2 de- cision for their only defeat in con- ference outings this season. Elon was the pre-season choice to cop the crown for the third conse- cutive season while East Carolina, runners-up for the past two seasons, cted to give the Christians the biggest Competition. As the season nears the half way point, indications point to a repeat situation of the past two seasons. In each of the last two campaigns, the championship has gone right down to the line and it has usually taken the ECC-Elon final meeting to settle the issue. This year, the Pirates have shown more power at the plate than in pre- vious years and a couple of fresh- man pitchersLarry Crayton and Johnny Ellenseem capable of hold- ing their own against Watts. East Carolina opened the week's play with a 4-0 conference record but had to face ACC for the second time Tuesday before their second and last western trip of the season. The Pirates journey over to High Point Monday and then take on a pesky Uuilford nine before returning to (ireenville to close out the 1959 season with six consecutive home panics. Coach Jim Mallory, the veteran Pirate coach, is expected to open with his ace southpaw, Larry Crayton, against Elon and will then have John- IPIRATE'S F3B DEN By JOHNNY HUDSON Coach Jim Mallory stated that he didn't know what to expect in his pre-season round-up of East Carolina's baseball team. "It should be an interesting season cited the veteran coach. The season is just about half way over and the North State Con- ference finds ECC on top with an unblemished 4-0 nark. The Bucs are the only undefeated team in the loop and have shown their strength with wins on the recent road trip. Leading the loop is nothing new for Mallory as his club has finished either first or second every year that he has been here. The power that the Bucs have shown in taking the lead is surprising. Bucs Are Punchless? The ECC teams of the past two seasons were tabbed as "punchless" and after the club could post over four runs in a foar game series which resulted in three losses and a tie, the same was doomei for this club. This is not the case now as the locals ripped into their conference competition as if they owned them. ECC is riding the crest of a four game winning streak which has produced 37 runs. It is a big but pleasant change for Mallory. The ECC coach used the first part of the season to experiment which has paid off in finding a sound starting unit. Griddere Swing Big Bats Three football griddersGary Pierce, Jerry Carpenter, and Glenn Basshave been the pace-setters of the club's recent sport. The trio col- lected a total of IS hits on the three game road trip to fatten their aver- ages, considerably. Pierre. husky tackle on the gridiron, and Carpenter, a quarterback, have worked into Mallory's starting outfield. This is the first season for both boys and their hitting at the plate has carried the Bucs to their loop lead. Both had homers on their recent road trip. Bass, a speedy halfback for Coach Jack Boone, has taken over the starting shortstop slot. The Wilson native was on the track team last sea- son and almost gave up the diamond sport this season to run track. His decision not to was a blessing for Mallory. A sophomore, Bass wrapped up his position last Friday by blasting a homerun before a large ECC crowd which included his parents. Bass's blow with one man on gave ECC the lead which they never loss. It was the first homerun in College Field this season. Pitching Should Hold Up Larry Crayton and Johnny Ellen continue to show outstanding pitch- ing form and Ben Baker has now joined the staff after nursing an early season injury. There is no reason to believe that the freshmen hurlers won't con- tinue to sparkle and if they do, EOC could be on their way to Texas and the NAIA play-offs. If the Pirates do make the trip, it will be the first in baseball as complications such as exams have prevented ECC from attending in the past. TD Club Is Formed Lou Collie, former ECC graduate and insurance salesman in Green- ville, along with other local merchants interested in East Carolina football have taken the initative to form a ECC Touchdown Club. The club in its' first year and Collie states that the goal is a mem- bership of 250. Over one hundred have already expressed interest and de- sired number is expected to be obtained. The club hopes to continue to ex- pand and extend its' membership outside of Greenville in the future. The function of the group will be to aid in football scholarships and also sponsor the annual banquet. Collie has been elected president, Lewis Clark, vice-president and John Farley secretary-treasurer. An executive committee has alBo been formed which includes Ford McGowan, Jack Blount Jr Billy Brown, Rey- nolds May. L. S. Pittman, W. L. Allen, and Dr. Warren Aldridge. The group should be highly recommended for the step in improving ECC football. The student body should take it on themselves to aid in any way possible. It is surprising that with as large a school as East Carolina, a club of this sort has never been formed in the past. But it takes a lot of time and work and everybody seems to have been satisfied with mediocrity. Everything goes back to the same old saying that you can't have a winning team unless you have the money to bring in the horses. ny Ellen and senior Ben Baker ready to go against High Point and Guil- ford. The booming bats of three foot- ball griddersGary Pierce, Glenn Bass, and Jerry Carpentercontin- ued to cause plenty of trouble around the North State loop as the trio supplied more than enough power in carrying the Bucs to the top of the loop standings. Rack ACC Pitching The three teamed up to collect five of the nine hits off four Atlantic Christian hurlers last Friday as the Hues regained the Bohunk trophy with a 14-4 slaughter. Pierce had three singles and Bass unloaded with a homer to break the game wide open in the third inning. Larry Crayton had to relieve star- ter Johnny Ellen, who had control problems. The Greensboro ace struck out 13 ACC swingers in chalking up his third win of the season. A broken-bat single was the only hit ACC could get off Crayton's of- fering's until the eighth when the southpaw eased up and was tapped for four hits, including a homer by Cliff Hedgepeth. The ACC rally came too late as ECC had already built up a cushion and Coach Mallory substituted freely from the sixth inning on. One of the most encouraging notes in the camp was a single in the fifth inning by Al Vaughn. An All-Con- ference second-baseman last season, Vaughn has gotten off to a slow start but his bingle broke a long slump and the team co-captain is expected to get back in the groove. The ACC victory did cost Coach Jim Mallory some depth on his pitch- ing staff. Earl Boykin, sophomore righthander, injured his foot in pre- game practice and is expected to be on the sidelines for the remainder of the season. Boykin was counted on as a re- liefer and as a possible spot starter. He had pitched in two games but had not received credit in either game. Tommy Salter, senior lefthander, has Also dropped from the team for "personal reasons Salter had been on the staff for the last two springs but had not seen action. McDonald's Team Net 27 Points As U. of Florida Emerges First Senior John West of Durham, N. C. is one of the big reasons East Carolina is still undefeated in North State Conference tennis competition. The three year tennis veteran recently led the Bucs in a 7-0 win over Elon. Sixteen colleges entered the second annual Furman-Piedmont-News Re- lays last Saturday at Greenville, S. C. where East Carolina emerged fifth with a total of 27 big points. The relays were sponsored through the joint efforts of Furman Univer- sity and the GREENVILLE PIED- MONT NEWS, one of South Caro- lina's leading newspapers. Curry and Speight Speedsters Jessel Curry and Jamt3 Speigh spearheaded the attack for the Pirates. Curry had 11 points for his day's work while Speight took NC State Stops Buc Netters 7-1 East Carolina's tennis team kept their North State record intact over the past week-end but lost their se- cond match of the season to a strong N. C. State. The Wolfpack took the Pirates for a ride as they took a 7-1 decision. The ECC netters forced the winners into three sets in almost every match but just didn't have the power for a victory. John Savage, number three man for the Bucs, was the only Pirate to win his match. The Bucs got back on the win trail following the State loss by swamping Elon 7-0. Paced by John West, Bill Hollowell and Savage, the Bucs won their 20th consecutive conference match and all but cinched the title for the second straight year. East Carolina was also scheduled to meet Wake Forest on Saturday afternoon but rain forced a post- ponement of the match.

The big game of the week proved to be the win hy the Day Students over the Cool Cats. Jess Curry man- ages the Day Student team and pitched his squad to a 9-0 victory on Thursday. In the win third sacker Rill Royd and catcher Charlie Bish- op got together to account for six of the nine markers. Boyd had a two run homer with Bishop on base as well as two RBI singles with Bishop on base again. Bishop, former EC track and football star had a good day at the plate too as he banged out a solo round tripper and had two singles. A forfeit by the Low Cuts to the Day Students put them well in front in Independent League play with a 4-0 record. A big upset in the In- dependent League came as the Es- quires, managed by H. A. Memory, blasted out a 19 to 11 verdict over the Varsity Club. The score changed twice between the two hard hitting club before the Esquire nine won out. The win gave the Esquires a record of 2-2 which matches the record the Varsity Club has at the present time which is also 2-2 thus far. Ironically, another team in the lea- gue still has a 2-2 mark also. The Bombers clubbed the Cool Cats 7-4 on Thursday while the Cool Cats took a 7-0 win over the Low Chits. Competitive Group The Cool Cats, managed by Bill Duncan proved to be quite competi- tive in their play during the past week. In addition to playing the Bom- bers, and losing, this same group played the Day Students immediately after the first game. In doing So the Cool Cats simply played a game then which was to take place this week. Thus they played a double header and even though they dropped both ends, were excellent sports for play- ing ahead of time in order that three players on the Day Student's team could participate. Had the Cool Cats desired to play on the regularly sche- duled day, Monday, these Day Stu- dent players would not have been present due to track participation. Members of the CC nine are Jerry Jones, Albert, Louis Shaw, Darrel Cox, Jerry Moore, Jerry Pittman, Gene Jaskson, Herman Baker and Pat McDuffy.

Theta Chi is the only other club in the league, besides the-e three, having a mark over .500. They are 2-2 in games played going into this week.

When they did play though the softball squad routed Delta Sigma Pi 16 to 3. Raymond Jenkins slammed oat three big hits to pace his team's attack in the win. Lambda Chi rolled over Sig Epe to the tune of 12-2 on Thursday. The LCA boys could do no wrong at the plate and very little wrong in the field in sewing the game up early. John Spoone worked on the mound for Lambda Chi In hurling the win. In the only other fraternity con- test of the week, Delta Sig finally entered the coveted win column by picking on their neighboring Sig Eps team. The score was a close one though, 11 to 10.

A time of 10.6 won the 100 yard dash for in- stance. This slow time in comparison to normal college times, was cau. by a muddy and soggy track. Al. events were hampered by the un- pleasant weather and it actually mar- red the day for the sixteen colleges from throughout the south. With such notables from the i as the Citadel, the University of Florida, Furman, etc entered in the meet, EC's Bucs actually emerged very high among the sixteen colleges. The meet was more than taking points and honors for the loc: North State track gets off to a rip- roaring start for East Carolina next Monday when the tracksters journey to Wilson to take on Atlantic Christ- ian College.
