Thomas S. Hopkins, an ECC jun-
ior, was presented the John B.
Derieux Award of a certificate and
$50 at the fifty-sixth annual meet-
ing of the North Carolina Academy
of Science May 1 and 2 at Catawba
College in Salisbury.
The award is presented yearly by
the Academy for the best written
paper and research in science to a
North Carolina undergraduate, and is
named after the man who was re-
sponsible for the discovery of the
detain of the electron and its charge
in 1906.
The N. C. Academy of Science is
mi organisation for the promotion
of scientific research and study and
the Collegiate Academy is an under-
graduate branch of the group. The
Colleariate Academy was organized
at East Carolina in 1954 through
the efforts of John A. Yarbrough
and Dr. R. M. Helms.
Hopkins, who is specializing in
biology, won the Derieux Award on
the basis of significant and original
research by an undergraduate stu-
dent. His study deals with mimeri
cal variations in the central body

Beaufort, North Carolina This par-
ticular paper deals primarily with
the urchins found 1n shallow water
(not over 3 feet), however, Hopkins
recently received a grant to further
his study of the animals found in
deeper water.
Hopkins said, 'The work couldn't
have been done without the help of
people who have worked on this prob-
lem before and especially the help
of Dr. Bob Haubrich who helped me
from getting off on a tangent through
guidance and encouragement. Dr.
E. B. Harvey, of Princeton, also
rave me a great deal of inspiration
and help through correspondence.
She is the most prominant living
authority on this animal. In addition
to the people who helped me person-
ally, T also received a lot of assist-
ance from the Duke Marine Labora-
tory at Beaufort. They gave me the
use of their laboratories, library and
other equipment essential in the
study. Dr. John Vernberg, Director
of the Marine Biology Station of
Beaufort, was also a lot of help
Honkins added, "Before a person
can do research, it seems to me that
something has to bother him, even
keep him awake nights to urge him
to find out the answer. This prob-
lem arose in a oomiparitive anatomy

decided to find oat the answer

Hopkins is president of Chi Beta
Phi Science fraternity and vice pres-
ident of .Phi Sigma Pi. He was also
elected president of the Collegiate
Academy of Science last weekend.
During the meeting Dr. R. M.
Helms, of the Department of Science
was elected chairman of the Physics
Section of the Academy. Dr. Robert
R. Haubrich, also of the ECC Science
Department, was appointed to serve
on the three member board of the
Collegiate Academy.
Twenty-one students of science
from East Carolina attended the

The East Carolina Concert Band,
under the direction of Herbert L.
Carter of the Music Department, will
resent their annual spring concert
May 12, at S:00 p. m. in McGinms
Auditorium.
One of the numbers included on
I n vrocram is the "Ballet for Young
Americans a modern composition
by Ralph Hermann, which is divided
into five parts. "The Teen-Age Over-
ture" starts the piece off with the
rapid and fast moving pace of the
modern. Teen-Ager . . . constantly
on the move with legs and arms fly-
ing wildly.
Day Dreaming is the second
theme of this new composition which
presents the Teen-Ager seated in the
study hall . . . outside the bees are
burying, the birds are chirping, and
the Teen-Ager is day dreaming.
thinking of nothing and in a big
fog.
The First Driving Lesson" is a
lively piece demonstrating the frus-
tration and panic which accompanies
the Teen-Ager on his first solo drive
of the family car. The all important
"Prom Nite" is typical of a Teen-
Ager on the night of his first big
formal dance . . . his best girl . . .
the first tuxedo . . . and the tls
gaat music of the romantic orchestra.
That familiar "Graduation March"
ends the composition when our Teen-
Ager receives that important di-
ploma, and nods and smiles from the
teachers wishing him well.
Another composition the band will
perform is the "March Slav by
P. T. Taschaikowsky. Mr. Carter
considers this piece one of the best
transcriptions for band which sounds,
as well performed by band as or-
chestra. The band has been request-
ed to play "March Slav" for several
years.
The popular "Marriage of Figaro
Overture" by Mozart will be conduct-
ed by John Lowery the student con-
ductor. John, a senior from Kinston,
is the vice president of the band this
year.
"The Dover Coach" by Gilbert

Help ECC Stay On Top;
It Needs Your Support
East Carolina is zooming ahead and
as enrollment figures rise higher and higher,
E.C. is fast becoming the most outstanding
college in North Carolina.
Enrollment for this year totals 4179 for
classes taught on campus and 1966 for ex-
tension courses.
From 1947 to 1958. East Carolina has
increased more in average attendance than
any other state college (250). E.C.C. nas
increased is annual graduates 360, its
gradutes in teaching 275r'c and its graduate
or M. A. degrees awarded 400.
This college is educating the youth of
North Carolina. Out of the total enrollment
figure only 237 students are from out of
state.
Vet. as outstanding as the above facts
prove B.C.C. must be, this college, next to
Appalachian, received the lowest recom-
mended per capita appropriation for main-
tenance of all state colleges for biennium
1959-61.
The per capita appropriations for all
state colleges were: Elizabeth City State
Teachers College, $706: Woman's College,
$644; U.N.C $613; X.C. College, $609; N.C.
State. 686; Favetteville State Teachers Col-
lege. 542: Pembroke. $490; A and T, $449,
Winston-Salem State Teachers College, $396;
Western Carolina College. $382; East Caro-
lina College. $373; and Appalachian State
Teachers College. $294.
F.C.C. has more students per library
staff member than any other state college.
Dr. J. P. Messick. college president, has ask-
ed for an assistant professor of library
science. We have none.
We desperately need more library books.
This college has been criticized by the South-
ern Association.
E.C.C. is one of the state colleges which
still pays students 50 cents per hour for self-
help jobs, while others have been paying 75
cents voral years. Dr. Messick has ask-
ed for enough money to pay our students 75
cents also. . ,
The list of needs of this college is long
and the items numerous. The items listed are
not frivilous. but absolutely essential. Every
other state school has a long list of needs
lust as we do. Still, we think this school de-
serves not a little bit. but a whole lot more
than has been recommended for it for the
next biennium.
The above facts give you something
with which to work, about which to talk.
See your senator or representative. Gain his

Foolish Hoax Turns
Into Serious Crime
Austin Building was evacuated for an
hour and a half Friday and 1300 students
turned away from their classes while of-
ficers and college officials searched with-
out sucess for a bomb said to have been
planted in the building.
Few people seriously thought that a
bomb had actually been planted in Austin.
Most welcomed the extra free time given
hem bv the hoax, while county, city, and
college officials left important jobs to hunt
a bomb. .
With all the recent bombings which
have token place, bomb hoaxes have become
more serious crimes than they were in the
past. Persons involved in such hoaxes have
been punished soundly in most cases.
The DAILY REFLECTOR has offered
a reward of $100 for information leading
to the arrest and conviction of the person
responsible for the Austin bomb hoax. If
our budget provided we would triple that
amount.
'Africa Today
Racial Situation
Discussed By
Recent Lecturer
By BETTY MAYNOR
As the final guest lecturer of the
Danforth Foundation Project, Dr.
M. J. Herskovits noted authority on
African problems discussed 'Africa
Today During his appearances on
campus April 29-30, Ir. Herskovits
emphasized the important role which
Africa has played in the past, and
the even greater role which it will
play in the future.
During his discussion Thursday
morning, Dr. Herskovits began with
the January 4 riots in the Belgium
Congo to illustrate the upheaval pre-
sently affecting Africa. The riots
were anti-white demonstrations
against the social centers, schools,
and Catholic missions because of their
government connection and because
of the treatment they receive there.
Dr. Herskovits stressed that the
African problem is a dynamic one,
but the United States refuses to re-
cognize it as such. In comparison he
said that the problem of the Union
of South Africa was ten times great-
er than our problem in the South.
When questioned as to how impor-
tant he considered the problem in the
South. Dr. Herskovits commented, "I
think that the racial situation in the
South looked at from the position of
the United States, gives us one of our
most serious handicaps. I do not wish
to raise any question of blame or
praise, because these things are his-
torical facts and have to be accepted
a? such
"All over the world people are
hostile to the United States when
they point to the difference in what
wp do in regard to race relations
and what we preach about human
rights and freedom, as proof that
we're not honest continued Dr. Her-
skovits.
"This is one of the reasons why,
in standing foT freedom before the
rest of the world, we have got to
look at ourselves. As far as Africa
Is concerned, the Africans are friend-
ly to the U. S but there was not
a single issue Taise by Africans as
often as the issue of race relations
in the U.S he concluded.
Dr. Herskovits has conducted ex-
tensive research in the field of an-
thropology in such countries as Dutch
Guiana, West Africa, Haiti, Trinidad,
Brazil, and Sub-Saharan Africa.
As an author, he has written many
outstanding books in his field. His
"The Myth of the Negro first pub-
lished in 1941 is now in its second
printing. Some of his other works
include "The American Negro, A
Study of Racial Crossings and "Re-
he! Destiny Among the Bush Negroes
of Dutch Guiana
At present Dr. Herskovits is pre-
paring a report to present to the
U. S. Senate, containing an analysis
of the African problems and recom-
mendations for solving them.

Unusual Photography
Exhibited In Austin

senior art exhibit on second floor of Am

Bob his accomplished the unusual in
most of his prints through combining art and
photography. The pictures vary in nib
matter from ball game shots to chara
studies. Nothing seems to have escaped his
eye snd his camera.
Bob's exhibit is striking because his
tures have character and mood. They have
felling. One entitled "Foreign Student"
especially tutstanding. but they all are t
so drop by and see them.
An Advocator Of Peace
r seems that boom responsible pers
would realize the seed for a stoplight at
Fifth Street entrance to the college over
the administration building. That's a rat
dangerous spot.
Of course we realize that "safety
everyone's job but isn't there someone
looks out about things like stop sign
painting white lines to designate park
places, and toplights and stuff like that. If
so, they shoulu look into the situation over at
the college entrance and perhaps see at
getting a stoplight.
After all, a college car could pull
into that blind street one day and collide
a town car, which in turn would make s
(reenville citizen very unhappy. Now
don't want that to happen do we? The
zens of Greenville must be protected f

on the Berlin situation? Will he fol-
low Dulles' policies? And will his
arthritic condition prove too much a
handicap? These are only a few of
the questions Americans and the en-
tire world are asking daily. The an-
swers to some of the questions will
be forthcoming soon.
Probably no other Secretary of
State has been thrust into quite the
position Herter finds himself in to-
day. Not only must he fill the shoes
of Dulles, but he must immediately
unite the allies on the critical Ber-
lin problem. As things stand at the
present Great Britan is willing to
give some ground to Russia for the
sake of a peaceful solution. West
Germany and France on the other
band feel that to give an inch would
be commiting suicide. So far neither
side has expressed willingness to
pive on tbeir demands.
This is the situation as the May
11 Bfg Four Foreign Conference in
Geneva draws near. Most observers
agree that the conference is intended
to be a stepping stone for a possible
summit conference with Kruschchev.
This summit conference in turn would
be primarily for the purpose of dis-
cussing Berlin and German reunifi-
cation. Thus failure of the West to
reach a strong unified agreement on
specific proposals to present to
Krushchev could jeopardize the en-
tire chain of events. As the neutral
in the Western camp, the responsi-
By JAMES CORBETT
bility of securing this agreement is
squarely on Herters shoulders. The
extent of his success not only may
determine his professional future,
but the future of Democracy as well.
Christian A. Herter is a determined
and devoted advocate of peace. This
alone will prove his biggest asset.
Though lacking the physical stamini
of his predecessor, the new secretary
makes up for this with political know-
how and conscientiousness. Only his-
tory will bear these points out. But
for the current generation, we can be
sure that if peace is to be extracted
from the current state of world af-
fairs, Christian Herter is as likely
to do it as anyone.

candidate. "You are a voter and there-

"But how do we achieve this aware-

"I am glad you asked me that ques-
tion. Our party has a committee work-
ing on it right now. The results of
our investigation should be available
in the near future

"Right. You are extremely astute
"Well, I hate to make myself ob-
noxious, but exactly how do you plan
to become awareor are you aware
at the moment? If you are already
aware, I would like to see some signs
of your awareness. That isn't asking
too much

don't know very much about student
government, except that you would
like to change it. You arent very
aware; however, you should like to
become awarebut you don't know
how. Since you think that you are
intelligent you figure that you will
learn rapidly, and that in a short
time you will be able to make the SGA
an effective force for student aware-

mentioned anything of which students
should be aware, how do you differ

Activity Fees Too Much?
Two Campus Organizations Prefer Freedom
By BOB JOHNSON
At least two important campus
organizations are asking the SGA to
cut them free. It seems they want to
operate under some liberal, left-wing
ideology known as "free enterprise
That means that if they failed to take
in enough money by their own en-
deavors they would willingly become
defunct.
The fraternities are not one of
the above groups. But, It is well
known that they would love to be
independent like some of their bro-
thers are on other campuses.

During your college life you will

It could be avoided mainly by des-

Skiing? It's Simple
By DERRY WALKER
If you have a boat, a motor, some si
and access to an adequate amount of water
you are a fortunate personprovided ;
can water-ski.
Water-skiing used to be a sport for only
a few people, but like golf and the cha-cha.
it has become a craze that attracts more
more brave individuals.
The first time you try it, you find your-
self waist-deep in water, struggling to
your feet into the rubber attachments of the
tops of the skis. You're surrounded by your
buddies and each of them is giving you ad-
vice. You try to listen to everyone's advice
at once, but you only get bits and pieces of
it, because you keep losing your balance while
putting the skis on and you slide under water
The guy in the boat yells at you ana
tells you to grab the ski rope so that he takes
the slack out of it, and then you are told to
bring your legs up under you and stick the
tips of the skis out of the waterno easy
task the first time.
Finally, you're holding the rope the rope
is tight between you and the boat, and you
somehow have the tips of the skis out of the
water, and the guy in the boat hollers and
asks you if you're ready. Although you are
ready not to ski, but to get the devil back
out of the water, you tell yourself you might
as well go ahead since you've gone this far.
You nod your head to the guy in the boat.
The driver sees your nod and grins, be-
cause he knows this is your first attempt.
then he slaps the throttle wide open and you
see the rear end of the boat lurch deeper into
the water, leaving behind a confusion of foam
and you. You are moving at once and you see
the tips in front of you become two long
shafts under your feet and they are deter-
minably slicing the waftex they meet.
The wind blows the water off of your
skin, and as you struggfe to keep lour legs
from acting like rubber bands you realize
suddenly that you have "gotten up that
act being the initial and most difficult step
in water skiing. Then, as you realize that you
have gotten up one ski goes one way and
the other goes someplace else, and Lord
knows where you go, but it's never up.
After acquiring a few bruises and taking
a few hundred gallons of water internallv.
you are gradually able to keep balance; you
become more confident, and you begin to love
rhen, sometimes when the boat takes a
sharp turn, and you swing way out beside it,
picking up speed until you feel you're going
Ilk look at ne sun and the water
and the boats and the people. You see your
legs that can ski, your body ttuit can swim,
and yon ctose your eyes that tefl you all these
things ana thank the Lord.

Shakespearean production, "Romeo
and Juliet Mr. Driver, who has
been a valuable asset in all fields
of dramatics, makes his final stage
appearance at East Carolina Col-
lege tonight in the Sylvan Theatre.
Bubba has undertaken a role in
practically all of the major playhouse
productions. During his first two
years at EC, he portrayed characters
in "Detective Story "Pygmalion
"State of the Union "Mr. Roberts
"Cinderella "Aladin and the Magic
Lamp and "Antigone
During his junior year Mr. Driver's
successes included "House of Con-
nelly "Teahouse of the August
Moon and "The Moon is Blue
This year he has done four plays,
"Potting Shed "Death of a Sales-
man "Caine Mutiny Court Mar-
tial Greenville Little Theatre Pro-
duction; and the latest, "Romeo and
Juliet
When asked what he considered
to be his favorite roles, Bubba in-
cluded four: Willy Loman in "Death
of a Salesman "Captain Queeg in
"C:ine Mutiny Court Martial En-
sign Pulver in "Mr. Roberts and
Mercutio in "Romeo and Juliet
In explaining his first choice, Bub-
ba concluded, "The depth of the role
of Willy Loman and the range it
required enables one to gain a val-
uable experience in that type of
play Concerning his "Mr. Roberts"
role, Mr. Driver said, "Ensign Pul-
ver was a grand experience in com-
edy and I found valuable training
in comedy portrayal and delivery
Workshop Plays
Besides acting in major produc-
tions, Driver has portrayed roles in
eleven workshop plays including a
cutting from "Hatful of Rain
Broadway success, with the "Com-
mon Glory" Company. He has di-
rected such plays as "The Moon is
Blue "Moonclaf Mugfard "Dust of
the Road "Two Crooks and a Lady
and "The Monkey's Paw
"My father was in vaudeville ex-
claimed Bubba concerning his in-
terest in the theatre, "and I've al-
ways been interested in entertain-
ing, but became interested in acting
when I first came to ECC, I haven't
been out of a play for over three
weeks since then. It's a merry way,
smiled Bubba, "to spend your college
time. It is time consuming, but the
satisfaction is something you feel
even if you can't exactly put your
finger on
For the past two years Bubba has
spent his summer vacations in out-
door drama in Virginia. The 1957
season was spent at the Barksdale
Memorial Theatre, Hanover, Virgin-
la in "To Rise One Day" and last
summer he was John Adams in The
Common Glory" in Williamsburg,
Virginia. In June he plans to return
to Williamsburg, this time as Pat-
rick Henry.
Driver has attained many acting
honors during his college career, be-
ginning with the Most Promising
Newcomer Award in the playhouse,
his freshman year. While in his sec-
ond year with the playhouse, he won
several awards including: Best Sup-
porting Actor, Best Director, Most
Improved Actor and the Best Por-
trayal of a Character.
Last year he managed to cop the
Most Improved Actor Award for the
second consecutive year and also the
Most Valuable Playhouse member
award. As a junior he also served
as president of the Playhouse.
When asked what he considered
I pick
and said, "I'm prejudiced;
'Death of a Salesman "
Being the accomplished and ex-
perienced actor that Bubba has been
acclaimed, he was requested to tell
the readers who is his favorite actor.
"Marlon Brando exclaimed Bubba,
"is a genius in his field, in my opin-
ion. Some people may say that I've
just got stars in my eyes, but, never-
theless, he's still tops in my book
It seems that no matter how many
plays an actor has performed in, he
will manage to pull a 'boner Bub-
ba's embarrassing moment came in
one of his latest plays, "Caine Mu-
tiny when in the silent courtroom,
"I accidentally dropped one of the
all-important steel balls
How any student could manage to
do as many plays as Bubba has work-
ed in and still have time for other
school activities should put other
students to shame. His range of col-
lege activities takes in quite a bit
of territory.
Besides four years in the play-
house, his activities include presi-
dent of the sophomore class, four
years in the SGA, three years in the
Circle K Club, membership in Lamb-
da Chi Alpha Fraternity, Creative
Writers Club for two years, Enter-
tainment Committee, Dean's Advis-
ory Council, and the Ring Committee
of which he is chairman this year.
This year Bubba was elected to
the position of vice president of the
SGA and when president Mike Kats-
ias was unable to finish his term,
Mr. Driver stepped into his position
until the election of next year's pres-
ident, Dallas Wells.
Dr. J. A. Withey, who is the di-
rector of the playhouse and has
worked with Bubba in most of his
plays, said, "I remember the first

ture plans Bubba said, "I hope Pll

Pirates Can Clinch NSC Title With Win Over Elon Herel
Malloryt Rampaging Pirates Now 10-0
In Conference Play; Crayton To Hurl
-
J
East Carolina's baseball team had
a busy week, winning four games,
but Saturday night will present
another test and possibly the most
vital contest of the season.
The Bucs have had a chance
rest up this week following their
busiest week of the season. The Pi-
rates fall back into action against
the defending champions, Elon, Sat-
urday night.
Coach Jim Mallory will have all
three of his aces ready to work on
the mound. Southpaw Larry Crayton
(5-1) will get the starting call. The
freshman star hurled a 11-1 win
over the Christians earlier this sea-
son at Burlington.
As the conference heads into it's
final stages, East Carolina and Elon An East Carolina win
are the only teams left in the race. I tually cinch the crown
The Pirates have won all ten of
their conference tilts while Elon is
10-2 in the loop.
The meeting presents a familiar
situation to Coach Jim Mallory. The
ECC head mentor has guided the
Pirates to a second place finish for
the past two seasons and each year
it was the final ECC-Elon tilt which
decided the champion and the Christ-
ians were victorious both times.
This year, the Pirates go into the
lM with an advantage instead of
needing a win to keep their chances
alive. The Pirates have cruised
through the league and boast a game
lead over their arch-rivals.
Preparing For Annual Conference Meet
SPOH TS
CHAT T E R
By BILL BOYD
The need for more money appears to be East Carolina's biggest
thorn in the present side ache we are having due to tremendous growing
pains. Our administrators and our legislators (from Eastern North Caro-
lina) have proved beyond the shadow of a doubt that we have to have more
money if we are going to meet the demands incoming students are mak-
ing of our college. Yet we are being frowned upon and turned down with
smiling apologies. Even Governor Luther Hodges stated where he wishes
new-found revenue to go. In Tuesday's issue of THE NEWS AND OBSER-
VER, the Governor said, "It is my sincere hope that the extra money
estifated (sic) to be available will be used for the most part for public
schools, the University and other institutions of higher learning in the
State
This lets us know where we stand. We must not kid ourselves either.
As long as the University of North Carolina's graduates dominate the
late legislature the University of North Carolina is going to receive more
money. The only way we can do anything about our definite needs for im-
provements here at East Carolina is to write our representatives. We
probably represent every county in the Piedmont and Eastern Sections of
North Carolina if not most of those in Western North Carolina. A well
written letter to our law makers from our districts can help the situation
a great deal. .
We would again like to bring to your attention the fact that BAST
CAROLINA COLLEGE HAS RECEIVED LESS PER CAPITA IN APPRO-
PRIATIONS DURING THE LAST ELEVEN YEARS THAN ANY OTHER
STATE COLLEGE. This year cur college needs $402,160 for 1959-60, and
.1,403 in 100-61 beyond what the North Carolina Budget Commission
recommended. Bear in mind that this money in addition to what the N. C.
Budget Commission recommended is needed for essentials, ior operational
expenses, net ior FRINGES OR EXTRAS.
Intramural Program Needs Funds
With these fatta in mind we know where we stand and unless we get
busy we are going to find ourselves in the same plight when the legisla-
ture meets again in two years. JUST WHAT DOES ALL THIS HAVE TO
DO VWlTi SPORTS AT EAST CAROLINA? This is the question you are
no doubt asking yourselves. It has plenty to do with sports when they are
for every single male and female student on this campus. Each student
pays KB activity lee and the money is being put to the best possible use.
But that money is not enough to create facilities which are needed. Facili-
ties for intramural sports are not at all adequate at East Carolina; in
fact the program will not go forward or stand still even unless the facili-
ties are added during the next year, but the program will go backward.
This is a harsh and radical statement but one that can be proven by facts.
At tne present time tne East Carolina College Intramural Program
offers three sports to male students. Those are football, basketball and
softball. These have been adequate in the past and the work of Dr. N. M.
Jorgensen and Coach Earl Smith have made them meet the demands of
most of the male students very well. There has been a definite lack of
interest on the part of female students for participation but this has been
attributed mostly to lack of facilities which could offer minor sports to
female students. During basketball season the gym was constantly in use
and crowded by students wishing to participate in intramural basketball.
Volleyball or any other winter or spring sport could not be offered on
an intramural level simply because there were neither funds or facilities
for such. Now during tae softball program which is still underway at the
present time, there have been more forfeits in the program than in any
other sport during the year or at any other time during the past three
years. , .mt.
Why Forfeits?
Forfeits will ruin a program quicker than anything I know of and
they almost ruined the program this spring. The reasons for forfeiting
were good ones though. Students simply cannot be expected to play when
classes are taking place for most of them. The fields used were barely
adequate due to congestion and dangerous obstructions on or near the
field of play. More reasons and statements concerning forfeits and the
present intramural situation could be listed but there is not adequate room
in a column of this type.
Facilities and Money 1111
No matter how hard the Student Government Association works, no
matter how hard the Director of Physical Education and his staff work,
the proper job cannot be done without the facilities and the money to run
the program as it should be. We at East Carolina need a large open field
which can be used for touch football, softball and minor sports in the
intramural program. But the field would have to be lighted and used at
night to make the program a success. Students will respond to the playing
times of 7 and 9 P.M. much quicker than they will to the times of 3 and
5 P.M. Anyone who wishes to question any part of the statements concern-
ing our needs for intramurals can do so simply by talking to those students
who have participated during the past two quarters and the present one.
They have known of the needs for quite some time. So have other faculty
members and college administrators here but it appears that the North
Carolina Budget Commission will not even recommend funds to maintain
our college's absolute needs, much less approve any request so radical
as a large lighted field for intramural sports. As our campus becomes
more crowded and expansion continues, the sad plight of intramurals
for men and women students will take a turn for the worse next year.
Without growing facilities for growing students it has tel
Smith HaPpy
Coach Earl Smith has plenty to glow about at the present time.
Practically every college coach in North Carolina and Virginia desired
the playing talents of Cotten Clayton, highly touted basketball star of
Zeb-Vance High School, to be used at his college. Clayton is a 6 foot 3
inch hardcourt standout who managed to average near 30 points per game
for his past two years in high school. The Henderson athlete is also a
top baseball performer. This is definitely a feather in Coach Smith's
hat as the newly appointed basketball mentor seeks to replace four
graduating members of the 1958-59 besketball squad.
would vir-
for Coach
Jim Mallory while a defeat could
cause complications. The locals had
a couple of ganifes with Lenoir Rhyne
rained out and a defeat could mean
that the games would have to be
rescheduled.
Lenoir Rhyne and Catawba, a
couple of early season contenders,
dropped out of the running this past
week, losing three games each.
East Carolina went on an early
week batting surge and had some air
tight pitching Saturday night to post
four victories in the six day span.
Paced by the big bat of Gary Pierce
East Carolina slaughtered Guilford
25-7 and added two victories over
High Point. Saturday night's action
saw Ben Baker hurl a five hit 1-0
shut out over Catawba.
Baker was backed by only four
hits, but his teammates came through
with one big run in the bottom half
of the ninth inning to gain the vic-
tory.
Pierce, Jerry Carpenter, and Glenn
Bass continued to pace the club in
batting but Al Vaughan, Jimmy Mar-
tin, Doug Watts, and Wally Cockrell
saw their averages take an upward
climb.
Hubert Castelow took over the re-
gular third base slot and immediately
became a threat at the plate. The
lanky freshman banged out five hits
in nine trips to the plate, including
an out-of-the-park home run.
Gilbert Watts, the All-Conference
ace will be on the mound for Elon
Saturday when the Christians at-
tempt to keep their hopes alive.
Watts is also a batting star for the
visitors.
The game will be the second night
tilt of the season for East Carolina
and will be held at Guy Smith Stad-
ium. ECC students will be admitted
free with their ID cards.
Only three more games will remain
on the Buc's 1959 slate. They have
games with Guilford and Appalachian
remaining and all will be played un-
der the lights.

Day Students Win College Softball Titk
Jess Curry's Day Student softball
nine won the second game of a three
game series with Lambda Chi Alpha
for top position in the final college
softball standings. The second game
of the 2 out of 3 affair was played
Monday evening. Curry gave up a
total of three hits in going the route
to win 5 to 1. Timely hitting by Lee
Atkinson, Curry and Richard Enrico
pared the offensive way for the Day
Students. The Day Students won the
first game last week when they stop-
ped Lambda Chi by a 5 to 3 margin.
The Day Students clashed with
Lambda Chi in the first of the three
game college championship series last
Wednesday and won 5-3. It was the
pitching of Jessel Curry and the hit-
ting of Ike Riddick that told the
story. Riddick had three RBI's with
a single and triple. Curry did not
give up a hit until the fourth inning
when Eddie Boado slammed a single
to center. By the same token John

The second place teams in each lea-

the Fraternity League it was Kappa
Sigma Nu and the Bombers repre-
sented the Independent League. These
teams played each other for the third
and fourth place in the final college
standings. Lyle Cooper had a homer
and double in his KSN team's 15 to
!3 win. It was an outstanding catch
by mrhtfielder Jack McCann that shut
the scoring door in front of the Bom-
ber team. McCann caught a drive off
the right field fence and then doubled
up a runner at first to end the game.

ball not been caught both runners
probably would have scored. In addi-
tion to Cooper's extra base blows he
also slammed out a single. Warren
Gaines banged out three hits in the
win to help Cooper and his KSN
mates.
In a playoff contest for second
spot in the Independent League the
Bombers turned back the Varsity

The Varsity Club then met Kappa

termine which of these two clubs
would be fifth in the final college
standings and the KA's won the sin-
gle contest by a score of 11 to 7.
Seventh spot in the final college
standings was won by the Esquires
over Pi Kappa Alpha, 11 to 10. H. A.

homers, two triples, two doubles and
five singles in the close win. PKA
had one homer, three triples, three

being played to determine which
team would take ninth place in the
final standings.
