Wells Crowns May Queen 8GA President Dallas Welh crowns Elizabeth Aim Bowman May t feetWities conducted ta Flanagan Sylvan Theatre last Saturday 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 covers of the brown or purple sea urchin and is entitled "Morphologi- cal Variations in the Periproct of rbacia bunctulata (Lamarck) of 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 lab and I worried over it until I decided to find oat the answer through research 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 meeting during the weekend. Repre- senting the faculty of the science de- partment were Dr. Haubrich, Dr. Helms, Dr. Mary C. Helms, Nancy B. Eliason, Joseph G. Boyette, and Floyd M. Read, Jr. 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.

If we are going to live in a world where communications are shrinking distance and language study is help ing people cross harriers never cross- ed before, we must realize that the ways of life and the value system of other peoples must be understood, a world-famous anthropologist told an audience on campus recently.

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 support in helping ECC to stay on top. 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. He Aimed Too High i -4?r ?

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.

Table Tennis Tournament, The table tennis Tournament of Champions will be conducted today in the College Union beginning at 6:30 P. M. The tournament will be a round-robin tournament with only the winners and runners-up of the quar- terly tournaments participating. The champions for the Fall, Winter, and Spring Quarters listed respec- tively are: Norman Kilpatrick, Bar- ney Strutton, and Thomas Salters. The runners-up are Thomas Lucas, Boyce Honeycutt, and Brad BuTla. The winner of the tournament will be honored at the College Union Ban- quet May 12. W Bridge Tournament The results of the National Inter- collegiate Bridge Tournament have been received from the Association of College Unions who sponsored the tournament. This year, the tourna- ment was entered by 118 colleges with 1740 students participating. Regional competition for East Caro- lina consisted of colleges from eight southeastern states Carlton Adams and Jimmie Wall took third place honors for the East-West position. The local tonmament was held on March 16, with five tables entered. Campus winners were Carlton Adams and Jimmie Wall for the East-West position and Jeiry Sue Townsend and Barney Strutton for the Norta-flouth position. For weeks now, the Free World has openly speculated on how John Foster Dulles' replacement would handle the current touchy world sit- uation. The recent announcement of his successor, Christian A. Herter served only to increase the specula- tion. Will Herter be able to evoke a compromise from the present con- trasting allied stands? Will he waver 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.

"No, you are behind the times countered the candidate. "Power was last year's word. The new word is student awareness "Oh said the voter, "I'm sorry I was out of town for awhile "Perfectly all right soothed the candidate.

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 "Well, yes. I can see that you have a point there. But don't you think that it is a little unkind of you to ask me a question like that. I mean, after all, how would I know.

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- ness.

But why shouldn't I be an SGA candi- date. After all, I am intelligent and I don't know very much. Doesn't that qualify me?"

Can You Swim? 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.

There goes one pet projectout the window in just thirty-two words, one comma, and one period! During your college life you will pay $528.00 to the SGA in the form of activity fees. Is that too much? It could be avoided mainly by des- troying the SGA. Are there other rea- sons why the SGA should be tfsban- ned? Yes. How can it be disbanned? Before long I will try to answer these questions for you. Keep watching. Recently I talked to Mr. Mahlon Coles, manager of our college book store. He showed me through his shop, and I found Mm to be an ami- program. And the system of paying cable, courteous, young business exe- referees is most irregular. A bank account separate from the SGA treasury is used. This is in di- rect opposition to the existing con- stitution. I understand that special dispensation was received from SGA chief, Bulldog Dyson. What about it, cutive. His experience in both pri- vate and public business is wider than his youthfulness indicates. As- sisting him are Mr. H. G. Rainey and our dear Miss MendenhaH. Mr. Coles assured me that a stu- dent book exchange was already in Last week Dog Dyson wrote an article for this page. He got the space by threatening to remove all funds from the EAST CAROLINIAN if it did not print his spite shaft. No apology has been made, Ant the college administration by its silence condones such conduct for dent governors.

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. ,K1AY.

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.

I have noticed that in the last year or so he never lets a role alone and keeps working with it stated Dr. Withey.

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. EC Netrnen, Guilford Only Unbeaten Conference Team Coach Bill McDonald (kneeling, center) looks over plans for the forthcoming North State Conference Track Meet to be held in High Point on Saturday. Looking on beside him are Assistant Coaches Ed Dennis and Charlie Bishop. Standing are Captains Joe Holmes and Jess Curry. (Absent from photo is the other captain, Foster Morse.) McDonald's high-riding trackmen are expected to dominate the annual event as the Pirates have for the past three years. John West and the East Carolina Batten get a warm-up match with a strong Cherry Point club here to- morrow before climaxing the season with the North State tournament at Greensboro next week. The ECC tennis club has swept 30 consecutive matches during the past years but will have to settle for a tie for the crown this year. Guilford is also undefeated in loop competi- tion. The Pirates stopped by for a match with the Quakers on a recent road trip hut Guilford wanted no part of a match which would knock them out I share of the title. Toach Ray Martinez will carry four nettera to the Greensboro tourna- ment. John West, the Pirate's number one man, will join teammate Bill Ilollowell in the singles division.
