Each year the Board of Trustees presents a tro- phy to the fraternity with the high- est scholastic average and one for service. This year Pi Kappa Alpha received the scholarship trophy. Bill Wallace. president of the IFC presented the trophy to Tony Mallard. Pi Kappa Alpha president. Mallard said, "We of Pi Kappa Alpha are proud to re- receive this scholarship trophy. I am especially proud of the brothers of l'i Kapa Alpha who have worked so hard to achieve and maintain a high grade average, because scholar- ship is one of the most important aspects of fraternity life The Pi Kappa Alpha average is 1.31, Theta Chi 1.24, Kappa Alpha 1.21, Lambda Chi Alpha 1.18. and Sigma Nu 1.10 according to Bill Wal- ai o, presiednt of the IFC.

CORBETT The Communist Party in Red China to- day finds itself in one of the most trying periods it has experienced since gaining con- trol of that thickly populated country. Failure to "liberate" Formosa, a cooling of relations with India over Tibet and the brutal methods used in suppressing the Tibetan revolts have all added fuel to the fire of discontent spread- ing among the Chinese people and there fel- low Asians. All these have contributed to the unrest, but perhaps the most outstanding factor of all has been the communes. In a country where the entire life of its people is centned around their family, the Red regime has broken these bonds. In an at- mpt to pool manpower in its "great leap forward" families have been separated and numbers relocated in separate communes. In many cases, husband and wife were unable to contact each other for weeks al the time. Children were taken from their parents and placed in school or jobs in locations that made a reunion with their parents almost im- possible. Babies were placed in state owned nurseries which often meant permanent se- paration from parents. At first the system seemed to be working as production of goods grew by leaps and bounds. Mines were being worked 24 hours per day. Workers slept in barracks style con- structions with little rest and no recreation. Factories ran continually under the watchful eyes of Red Officials. Slowly, however, the tide began to turn where production figures were once on a con- tinual climb, they leveled off temporarily and then began to decline. Morale among workers had been shattered and the results were being reflected by the efforts they put forth. The Communes had taken their toll. Conscious of the fallacy of their system, the Communist leaders began to backtrack. Though still claiming the experiment a suc- cess and the backtrack a reward for the peoples efforts. Red officials are fully aware of the furor the plan has caused. Whether recogni- D of the dangef came to late or not is a question that only time will answer. The West of course hopes it did. Chances are good, how- ever, that any discontent will be quelled by the overpowering force the communist regime has at its disposal.

We'll remember the year 1958-59 as the year when: East Carolina could boast of an- other Miss North Carolina, Betty Lane Evans of Greenville. (Miss Evans is a music major as was E.C.Cs Miss North Carolina of two years ago, Joan Melton.) E.C.C. co-ed and Playhouse star Alice Ann Home was chosen Miss CreeRville. The McDaniel sisters, Carole and Jimi. kept the Homecoming Queen crown in the family, although un- fortunate circumstances almost cruised Queen Jimi to lose hers. Kappa Sigma Nu Fraternity copped the prize for the best Homecoming float for the second consecutive year. As five national social fraternities stood strong and proud, sororities were established on a firm founda- "Old Yellow" was raided and many students had a mid-term va- cation. For the first time in many moons several mass meetings were con- ducted. The "Kissing Controversy" made the news in many state papers. With the NSA Carolina-Virginiaa Regional meeting on this campus, students became concerned with the intellettual climate oft campus. Pulitzar Prize winner Peter Vie- reck and many other noted speakers appeared on campus sponsored by the Danforth Foundation Project. Under the direction of SGA Presi- dent Mike Katsias, the student gov- ernment program was expanded and became more active. Outstanding Playhouse stars Bubba Driver and Leigh Dobson entertained the students in many varied roles. As Porter's efigy hung from a tree. Coach Earl Smith was appointed new basketball coach. Fred Ragan and Stan Harper raised fuss about the elections pro- cedures in Wright Precinct. Elec- tions procedures began to improve steadily. Some students thought the in- firm ry was not doing the job as it should; the SGA looked into the matter and found that they were. Throughout the year freshmen struggled through experimental classes on closed-circuit television. E.C.C. dropped out of the largest organization of students in the world when the senate voted to come out of NSA. For the first time E.C.C. had Ne- gro entertainment when the Cava- liers appeared on campus for an I.F.C. benefit dance. For the second time in three years, the E.C.C. swimming team won the NAIA Swimming Championship. Judy Hearne was chosen Southern Conference Theta Chi Dream Girl. Someone with "a definite accent" called to say there was a bomb in Austin Building. Classes stopped, and Officials searched, but the bomb was never found. For the first time since the elec- tion of Don Umstead, tbe veterans organized and got their man elected to the post of SGA president. And so another school year comes to a close. With one year of experi- ence behind us, we hope to give this campus a bigger and better news- paper with more complete and accu- rate coverage next year.

All's Well That Ends Well' Accomplished Cast Performs Effectively In The Greatest Love Story Ever Told During the intermission the FIRST night, as I sat there mumbling that this was a hideous comedy of errors even though the program said ROMEO AND JULIET on it, the edi- tor invited me to write a few words on this production for her hebdoma- dal. Vain fool that I am, I said I would. The following morning I re- pented me, of course, and saw that at best a reviews of THAT perform- ance, at least would indeed be much about nothing. Surely the tempest of outraged sensibilities would swirl about my head. Forsooth, I'd get measure for measure; and being frank, I feared the worst. "Nothing could be THAT bad on the second night (and this is not to mention the twelfth night!) I said. Therefore, Shakespeare idolator and Playhouse buff that I am, like a pas- sionate pilgrim I made my way back to the Flanagan Sylvan Theatre for the second performance. This time there was no love's labors lost; you might even say that it was "as you like it Mr. Laube was a befuddled Romeo; perhaps in too many instances he spoke his lines, both witty ones and tender ones, as if they might as well have been written in Bantu as in English. That he did the part well as he did is to the credit of a gentle- man and a scholar who evidently has had little acting experience. By DR. FRANK HOSKINS Mrs. Garren's Juliet was sensitive and intelligent; therefore it was be- lievable. Was her reading a trifle too intense? I have always felt that ol' Jule had the ability to laugh at herself. Moreover, why wasn't Juliet en deshabille during the dialogue that followed hard upon the consumation of the marriage? As it was, it look- ed as though Romeo were a mere family friend come to say goodbye. Mr. Driver was, as usual, in com- plete command. It's a pleasure to watch someone do something superb- ly, isn't it? He, as Mercutio, and Mr. Heller, as Benvolio, understood Shakespeare's intentions and acquitt- ed themselves most satisfactorily. Professor Rowe was funny and believable. Could he have worked just a trifle too hard at being Capulet? Mr. Craven was, as usual, excellent in the role of an old man in the part of Montague. Professor Chauncey did what she could with a role that simply was not written for her. I believe Shakespeare meant for Angelica to be an ample- bosomed, large-hipped, generous-der- riered Earth Goddess type. Miss Dixon was quite satisfactory as Lady Capulet. I am glad that she consented to make-up the second time. Of the rest, Bob Johnson, as Paris; Professor Withey, as Prince Escalus; Mr. Worrell, as Tybalt; and Mr. West, as Peter, deserve special men- tion. It was my impression that the cast was in general an exceptionally accomplished one. The ballroom scene was well- staged; the dance figures arranged by Mrs. Laube, were a pleasure to watch. This scene added immeasur- ably to the tone of the production. It needed, however, more vandles for emphasis of the LIGHT and DARK imagery of the poetry. One scene followed hard upon another in fine fashion, and the cen- ter of attention moved from left to right to center with a pleasing change of pace. While the illumination was adequate, I feel that lighting could have been employed artistically more effectively for creation of mood and so forth. Seeing how successful were Friar Laurence's scenes, in which there was no "tech" to speak of, one wonders why some of Juliet's scenes could not have played more effectively, and believably, on the stage rather than on the balcony under the stars? I have recovered from the trauma caused by the first night and shall not soon forget the pleasure I found at the second performance. Congra- tulations to everyone who shared in the production. You can be proud in- deed! As old Shakespeare himself might have said (in fact he did say it), "All's well that ends well Well this is the last issue of the EAST CAROLINIAN for this term. Looking b we find many things with which we satisfied, and many which leave a sour in our mouths. One of the worst things that is br to mind is the time we have wasted year. How many hours have we loafed. slept, or just sat around on our can v ing time which could have been used n. constructively. Remember the hours in the soda shop at Dora's. Remember the time lost slee; while your first period class went on w 1 out you? Remember the bull sessions about noth- ing, and the poker games that gained i a weeks famine for you? Sure, it's been a lazy year, but what heck. Just tell yourself "next year will a golden year Or better still, rationally it, "One must be well rounded. One musl also achieve the social graces while in college" Or, best of all, just ignore it and loaf somo more. It's fun. As I said, this is the last issue for the year. Hope you've enjoyed the other 24 issues. It's been fun from this end of the line. N slobbering now, lets just part gracefully.

Considering the number of supporters who spent their precious time and energy clapping at the games, this was indeed a feat for the players. Then along came the shirtless boys who won the national collegiate swimming title. The students were so happy about this accomplishment that nobody showed to witness the team receiving the winning trophy. In our summer sports, tennis, golf, track, and baseball, the heroes have also performed before a practically empty house. Oh well, at least the letter-men are proud of themselves. The BUCCANEER staff composed of approximately ninety of EC's "gung-ho' workers crowded their wits together and produced a 400 page annual. Many hoars were spent preparing this memory book, io that By PAT HARVEY the students could flip through this precious book in twenty minutes, then voice their unfavorable com- ments concerning its contents. But one can mark this down in his note- book as nothing but human nature. So . . . "Death of A Salesman" was given this year and according to some very reliable sources, it was considered to be one of the most professional plays ever presented here. The playhouse gave several plays this year, some good, some fair. Several experienced actors are leav- ing to pursue their dreams as a ca- reer. Which brings to mind that the playhouse is losing several of its members and the percentage gained this year is not enough to equal its loss. There are many people who would enjoy theatre work, but use the practical excuse that "we dont have the time Unfortunately, they do not realise that the experience is valuable. The biggest deal that went through was the establishment of sororities, which really hit campus with a bang. Eight sororities have popped up and have done everything from selling sandwiches to painting benches. So- rorities have made their bid and are expected to be an even more im- portant part of our campus life next year. Have we ever stopped to realise that out of a college of nearly 4000 students, only about 200 are inter- ested enough in their college to work for it. College is not just a place to attend class through the week and dash home for the weekend. College can be fun, as well as educational. Predictions "Next year things will. be differ- ent" is one of the most trite lines in our college lingo. Predictions come and go each year; some hit, some miss. Nevertheless, it's fun to try. Predictions for '6960: (1) Wells will shock the frat men and head an excellent SGA. (2) Another issue concerning ber- muda shorts will hit the papers, but again will be vetoed. (3) The next campus check will catch more seniors than freshmen. (4) The REBEL will be bigger and better, because the staff will be big- ger - and better. (5) Next year's musical comedy will have a more experienced east. (6) Students will accept "Hue as a mascot, rather than a waster-of- money. (7) Bubba Driver will be missed la the Playhouse. (8) Sororities will double in mem- bership, but will not go national. (9) EC enrollment will increase by about 400 students. (10) Rainy days will increase also. This is the time of the school year when I've just about run out of everythingciga- rettes, money, patience, motivation, (for studying, that is,) and ideas for a column. For the past year, I have assumed the form of a columnist; that is, I have, for nine months, shed my academic armor periodically, and entered the EAST CAROLINIAN office to sit at my typewriter and pound my thought- into little black letters for publication in thi corner of the paper. Now, with my last fingernail chewed back to the knuckle, with my ash tray running over with exhausted Camels, and with my thoughts that are as well organized as a Cuh Scout pack at a panty-raid, I confess that I am mentally bankrupt. At this time of year, all I can do is re- mininsce. It doesn't seem to have been eight months since we waded through scotch tape. crepe paper, chicken wire, beer cans, and paper mache' to watch our Homecoming floats tak sundry shapes in the dusty Greenville tobacco warehouses. The cold midnight blue and the warm red tinsel of Christmasthe snow that speckled our btir and shoulders and covered the ground and bowed the evergreensthe gnarled shrubs and the empty trees were a spiny brown and grey forever and a winter, until they changed overnight into their respective summer stand- ards. Spring came and made us sleepy and thirsty and now we want sun and sea and short-sleeved shirts. Now we want to throw our books and pencils in the Tar River and find the new friends we've made this year and the old friends we've knownfind them and talk and listen, laugh and speculate. We talk and we remember the year's best momentsthe best laughs we had, the fears, the moments we shared that showed us how our lives are best livedthe times we realized we had real friends and would have them for life. We will say good-bye to people and things we have grown to like, admire, and respect as this year closes. People like Capt. George Pat- terson we will miss because of the respect he commanded, the character he displayed, and the friendliness he offered. Things like the Bream Girl Ball will not be forgotten. So wrap up another year and put it on the shelf. Pack your foot-lockers, coil your lamp and radio cords neatly, take your pin- ups down, and take a trip.

In other matches Fall Quarter champion Kilpatrick's short serves and lobbed returns often caught Strutton off balance, as Kilpatrick defeated Strutton 21-13, 21-17, while Bulla's defense was just able to con- trol the forehand attack of the left handed Spring Quarter champion Tom Salter by scores of 14-21, 21-19, 21- 19.

The lanky blond who calls Leaksville, N. C, home, was a starter for four years at East Carol- ina. Nick played in the shadow of Roy ; as a prep star but came into his own in a Pirate uniform.

Vter sitting out a year, Nick came back this season to finish up his ardwood career. He won his starting 1 erth back and with it the job as 1 aptain of the 1058-59 club.

Nick finished the sea- n strong and had lifted his aver- to better than thirteen points ei game by the end of the season. At the end of the season, Nick was named to the All-Conference lub and was also selected to play ith the North State All-Stars which lefeated the Atlantic Coast Confer- ence All-Stars. Service will be the next stop for the friendly athlete but his name will remain as one of East Caro- lina's top basketball performers. Curry Continues Fame It is hard to name any sport that Ji el Curry doesn't excel at for he i is one of the finest all-around at - letes to ever enter Bast Carolina ' i and his achievements here will probably stand for some time. Jess was a famed athlete at Wood- row Wilson high in Portsmouth in football, basketball, baseball and any other port that you could name. .less had played it and played it with eptional ability. lli first college stop-off was the U. of Kei I ucky and lie played basketball with the freshman club. Service was bis next stop before coming to East Carolina College. Curry was proclaimed as one of the greatest athletes to hit the cam- pus and although many frowned, I Jesse was soon to prove his worth. He earned starting slot on the bas- ketball club his first year and went on to cop All-Conference and All- XAIA laurels. He led the team in scoring with better than a 10 point average. n the track field. Curry has been ECCs individual star as he can par- ate in most events on the pro- gram, liis specialty is the low and high hurdles which he recently won in the North State Conference Meet. He has been ECCs leading point- getter for the past two seasons on the track scene and led them to the tit'e in 1958 .less has also been active in the intramural program at the college and was the top softball pitcher in '1 this past quarter as his club copped top honors in the loop. Coaching and teaching constitute the future plans for the Portsmouth native and with his background and exceptional skill, he should be a huge success. Baker Is Ace Pen Baker is the boy which has carried much of Coach Jim Mallory's dtching load for the past four sea- sons. The southpaw has shied away from pro contracts to continue his education and in doing so has been around to provide East Carolina with outstanding basketball. Maker came to ECC from a little town Zebulon but with a strong desire to pitch college baseball. He hid little chance during the early part of his freshmen season but got his chances in the latter part of the campaign and made good to send ECC on a final stretch winning peak which resulted in the North . tate Crown. following two seasons, Ben Ma y's number one choice and his sophomore year was another good i lie in the won-lost column but his j inior year saw him drop below the nark for the first time. But his w n lost record didn't indicate his i alihre of pitching. He was chosen to go against the strongest teams ' e Pirate schedule and it was a i! when hitting was lacking in I " Pirate Den. Following a successful summer of pitching semi-pro ball, Baker was set for another good year but a knee injury while student teaching dur- ing the winter quarter slowed him iown. He was forced to sit out the first part of this season. The determined southpaw got back into action just as the Hues were set to make their first tour against :onference competition. ECC was stumbling along with a 2-3 record but the return of Baker was a shot in the arm for the club. With Baker back to aitl a couple of freshmen on what has been termed the strongest staff in the loop, ECC immediately set sail with a win streak which has reached eleven straight and has virtually assured ECC of the base- ball title. One of his top feats was a recent 1-0 shutout win over Catawba. The victory gave Baker a 4-0 record for the season and it was very likely that he would record another undefeated mark. Ben plans to continue his base- ' all this summer by playing semi-pro hall in South Dakota. His future in the diamond sport looks like a good one. Sawyer Has Two Crowns Although Bob Sawyer is a busi- ness major, the talented Greensboro swimmer lives for the water sport and the future may find him in the coaching field. A backstroker, Bob can boast 35 victories in college competition while only nine defeats marr his record and most of these came to All-Ameri- cans. His efforts have led ECC to two NAIA championships and he has won the backstroke title the si me number of years. Bob's senior year was also marred with the "injury jinx" but he made a great comeback to record his best times in his competitive swimming PIRAT.CS H D E N By JOHNNY HUDSON i, HI J im.m .
