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.

BAST CAROLINIAN
Can Anything Ever Be
Done About Nepotism.
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.

Potential Flop
Saved By Cast
By PAT HARVEY
Much to the sornow of the small
haps of spectators who witnessed
last week's "Bus Stop the play
was not of the highest caliber. 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.

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.
The present SG officers are doing
excellent jobs, even without a consti-
Mutt Crawls Into
Saxophone Case

Now "The Collegians" have a mas-
cot, too. While the boys were playing

tution. 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.
Next week let's take a look at the
proposed text-book exchange, nihil-
ist philosophy on our campus, in-
tramurals, and morals under press-
ure.
See you then.

Why Can't Medical

Menny Ohio State Unavursitie me-

The hilarious-but somewhat dis-
maying-spelling foibles of today's
college students have come to light
in the latest issue of the Ohio State
University Monthly.
Sadly enuf (pardon, enough), spell-
ing purists should know that many of
the odd-ball spellings in the para-
graph were lifted from documents
that the students themselves filled
out.
The report on atrocious spelling
was made by Drs. William T. Pala-
chanis and William C. Stahl of the
University medical staff. 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:

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.

North Carolinians are also impressed
with the school's mounting statistics;
however, if the new appropriations

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

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

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

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-

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,

Thus it becomes apparent
many of EC's professors ar

ECC In Crucial Game Trackmen 5th In Furman Relays
Baseball Game Can 'Make Or Break' Top
North State Clubs At Elon Saturday
s
-
John West Buc Tennis Star
East Carolina and defending North
State Champion, Eion, square off
Saturday afternoon in Burlington in
what is expected to be one of the big
games in determining the 1969 Cham-
Pion- J J'3
Elon has once again been on the
rampage behind the hitting and pit-
ching of All-Conference Gilbert
Watts. 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.

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.

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.

has found the varsity baseball uni-
form much to his liking also. Tire
Gastonia native has been a perma-
nent fixture in the Buc outfield since
the second game of the season, al-

"THE TEMPEST"
Van Hefttn - Silvana Mangino
ITT Theatre
Despite the fact that rain washed
out a total of six scheduled softball
contests in East Carolina Intramural
Softball this past week, five big
irames were played in the Independent
League.
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.
Complete Play
Play will be completed this week
in the Independent League and the
playoffs will begin next Monday. The
first four games on Monday will pit
the last place teams in the Inde-
pendent League in single contests
against last place teams in the Fra-
ternity League.
Standings in the league at the pre-
sent time, excluding action this week,

Frat League
Lambda Chi and Kappa Sigma Nu
appear to be the strong clubs in Fra-
ternity League softball play. Both
are undefeated thus far. LCA heads
the league with a 3-0 mark while
KSN holds a 2 and 0 record.
Chasing these two is Kappa Alpha
but the Kaps have played four of
their six games already and have a
record of 3-1. 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.
Ironically, as agressive as Theta
Chi has been on the field, the frat
nine failed to show for one of its
scheduled contests last week and for-
feited to KiA by a 7-0 count. 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. Jim Metsgar had
three singles for DSP while Ace Ka-
nar banged out four big hfcs or fee
Sig Eps crew.
A big week of play is on tap for
the fraternity teams at the present
time. Playoffs will begin Monday and
will pit these frat teams against the
independent teams.
Fraternity League Standing
six markers. Curry was the only Buc
trackman to nab a spot higher than
third place. He took second in. the
high hurdles, losing a first by on
one step.
Coach Bill McDonald's track crew
showed depth in the third, fourth and
fifth places. In the relays Foster
Morse, Ken Edwards, Cedric John-
son, Lee Atkinson and Bob Ruck gar-
nered points. In the pole vault Dennis
O'Brien and F. O. Nunn were point
makers. Speight scored his six poi:
by coming in fifth in the broad jump
and being on two relay teams that
placed.
Rained All Day
Old man weather ruined potential
good times in the relays. 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. McDonald's trackmen
be highly favored to cop their first
NSC engagement.
Curry Top Man
Jess Curry leads the cindermen in
the scoring department with a I
of 35 points in three meets. Un-
expected to pace the team in the
forthcoming clash with ACC Monday.
The first five colleges in the I
man relays and the points scored are

Baker Hurls 7-2
Win Over ACC
Baseball Nine
Southpaw Ben Baker, crafty hur-
ler from Zebulbn, N. C, sent Atlantic
Christian reeling Tuesday by a 7-2
score as the Bucs racked up their
fifth defeat in North State Confer-
ence play. They have yet to lose in
conference play and are 7-3 overall
for the season.
Baker gave up six hits in going the
full route. East Carolina hitters could
only garner six hits off two ACC
pitchers too.
Jim Mallory's crew scored four big
runs in the fourth frame on a walk,
three errors and two big singles. First
sacker Jim Martin and right fielder
Wally Cockerell sliced out the one
baggers.
East Carolina had previously whip-
ped ACC by a 14-4 score last Friday
here at Pirate Stadium with Larry
Crayton taking the win.
Doug Watts was Baker's receiver
and also had a line single while work-
ing the full nine innings.

Curry Romps
One of the best all round atbietes
to ever come to ECC, Jess Curry
scored 11 of the Buc's 27 points in
the Furman Relays last Saturday.
He is the top point maker on the
track squad.
What is the best position to play
to make the fantastic play fat base-
ball, the unassisted triple play?
Shortstop is the position. There have
been seven unassisted triple plays in
regular major league baseball eon-
tests and shortstops made four of
them.
The idea of an all star clash be-
tween the top players In both leagues
was conceived by the late Arch Ward,
sports editor of the Chicago Tribune.
The first all star contest took place
in 1038 as part of the World's Fair
in Chicago. Since that time ft has
