or vice president in the recent Stu-
dent Government election, one could
perhaps draw the conclusion that the
voters are tired of the same old polit-
ical routine.
If so the winner won't let them
down, for she is one of the best-look-
ing campus politicians to set up shop
in the SGA office in a long time.
Bobbie Kennedy, a senior home-
economics major from Louisburg, is
the first woman vice president for
a long time.
I was honestly surprised I won
she said, although she waged a vi-
gorous campaign and won by a 391-
113 margin. "I didn't believe it when
they told me Her sorority, Delta
Sigma Chi, carried out most of the
work on her campaign.
Although Bobbie hasn't been con-
nected with student government be-
fore at East Carolina, she was presi-
dent of the Woman's Student Govern-
ment Association at Louisburg junior
college year before last. She ruled
over approximately 100 coeds.
Bobbie transferred here fall quar-
ter last year, although she hasn't
actively participated in students go-
vernment, it has been one of her
many interests along with the soro-
rity movement here.
Her interests aren't confined to the
narrow walls of campus life. "I love
to cook she said. "I like to read and
take hikes in the woods
She also likes listening to hi-fi,
dances and parties, modern art, tar-
get shooting, and beachcombing. She
laims she even plans to hunt wild
fowl at Lake Mattamuskeet, which
along with Carolina Beach, is her
favorite place to go on those week
end trips.
Speaking of weekend trips, as vice
president Bobbie hopes to do some-
thing about the dreadful weekend
situation on the campus this summer.
"That is one thing the student go-
vernment ought to be able to do. We
should have more and better enter-
tainment
Bobbie's main interest in life is
interior decorating, a field she hopes
to break into after college. Her taste
runs along modern lines: she likes
modern designs in houses, modern
officer that doesn't get paid for her
work. She's doing it for the fun of
it as well as the experience, and says
she hopes she can do something
worthwhile for the students this sum-
mer.
Lawmakers Give

' 'movements
"The General Assembly provided
'mite well for us in the way of li-
brary books and journals and general
''istruc-tional equipment President
Messick stated.
He went on to say that It new
teachers will be added to the staff
with nn additional 19 teachers the
following year.
The legislature made possible mon-
ey for additions to the warehouse
ard powerplant, improvements of the
'j'mpus electrical system, and re-
novation of the North cafeteria. It
also provided for lighting the high-
way leading to the South Campus
n for building social rooms in
H ly nnd Umstead Hall for use by
women students.
There is half enough money left
from the bond issue to construct
another dormitory for 500 men and
to enlarge Graham Building, Flana-
gan Buiding, and the infirmary,
according to Dr. Messick.
Plans are underway to build an
office suite containing twelve offices
as an annex to the new classroom
building. The new addition will house
the Dean of Graduate School, the
Extension Division, Special Educa-
tion, and the Public Relations Divi-
sion. Dr. Messick also stated that
the west half of the bottom floor of
the South cafeteria is to be made
into a book room and a second col-

The Summer School SGA approv-
ed a $9,763 budget at a call meeting
last week. At the meeting the Se-
nate, upon the recommendation of the
Budget Committee, cut approximate-
ly $3,500 from the requests.
The organization taking the lar-
gest amount was the Entertainment
Committee, which received $1,900 for
its work. The result of this money
will soon be seen in a big way, ac-
cording to the Committee members.
The college mascot, Buc, received
the lowest amount, $196, for his up-
keep. ,
There is to be a meeting of all
organizational heads next Monday at
4:00 in the office of SGA Treasurer,
Bobby Patterson. All groups should
have a representative present to
learn the procedure for requesting
funds during the summer.

Morrison Writes
About 'Zarzuela'
Robert R. Morrison, of the De-
partment of Foreign Languages, in
an article in the March issue of
"Hispania directs attention toward
the zarzuela, a genre of music in
which a number of recording com-
panies have recently become interest-
ed because of its melodic appeal.
Hickfang States
Summer Schedule
Paul Hickfang, baritone and teach-
er of voice in the department of
music, will appear as concert artist
on the summer programs of enter-
tainment offered at George Peabody
College, Nashville, Tenn and at the
University of North Carolina, Cha-
pel Hill. During August he will be a
faculty member at Western Music
Camp, Gunnison, Colorado.
Well-known in this state through
appearances as soloist with the North
Carolina Symphony Orchestra, Mr.
Hickfang will sing in Nashville July
10 and in Chapel Hill July 21. His
programs will include numbers by
Mozart, Verdi, Wolf, and several con-
temporary American composers.
At the Western Music Camp, one
of the largest music camps in the
United States, Mr. Hickfang will
teach voice, vocal techniques, and
choral work. The camp will be in
session the second and third weeks
in August.
Mr. Hickfang has been a member
of the East Carolina faculty since
1953. He is a graduate of the Uni-
versity of Texas and the University
of Michigan and for two years stu-
died voice in Germany on a Fulbright
scholarship.
tiring English teacher known to many
students since she joined the faculty
here in 1924 graciously opened her
door to me last Friday afternoon and
amazed me during the course of the
ensueing interview with the number
of things s ie had accomplished since
that time.
Emma L. Hooper, hailing from
Edinburg, Mississippi, is perhaps
best known to the public as the au-
thor of the Fiftieth Anniversary Pa-
geant, "East Carolina's Spade pro-
duced here on campus in the spring
of 1958. She is founder and has been
leader since 1939 of the Robert H.
Wright Chapter of the Future Tea-
chers of America and has been pre-
sented a life membership in the Na-
tional Education Association by the
chapter. She is also a member of the
Professional Standards Committee of
the North Carolina English Teach-
ers Council.
Miss Hooper has had some form of
commencement duty every year since
1924 at East Carolina College. Many
times she has headed the Commence-
ment Committee. For about twelve
years, she was faculty advisor to the
campus YWCA, and since 1940 she
has been a member of the Alumni
Council of the college. This year,
she became the first recipient of the
Alumni Association Recognition
Award to a member of the teaching
staff.
From 1945 to 1948 Miss Hooper
served as president of the Greenville
Chapter of the American Association
of University Women. She is a mem-
of Delta Kappa Gamma, national
honor society for women in education;
an honorary member of the Green-
ville Credit Women's Breakfast Club;
J and an active worker in the Jarvis
a graduate of Mississippi State Col-
lege for women and of the University
of Virginia. She has also done grad-
uate study at Northwestern Univer-
sity.
Miss Hooper, who has served under
all five of East Carolina's presidents
and has established one of the lon-
gest service records at the college,
states that she has seen a great
number of changes most of which
have been due to the increased num-
ber of students. Changes attributed
to expansion include such things as:
congestion of cars on campus, and
loss of trees and other greenery.
The retiring English instructor,
who says she can remember when
the men on campus were so few that
they were called "coeds objects to
the "Suitcase College" tradition ac-
quired by the number of students who
leave on weekends. "It leaves too
little time for extra-curricular acti-
vities, especially of loyal action with
one's college class; four and one-half
days left for everythinghence poor
attendance at meetings Miss Hooper
also believes that classes all day
long, including the evenings contri-
bute to lack of the typical close col-
legiate spirit.
"Yet a marvelous amount has been
accomplished. . Miss Hooper then
cited a number of organizations and
improvements that have been made
including fraternities and sororities.
"Religious interest is still strong,
but is more activated in the respec-
tive denominational groups instead of
being unified by the YWCA and the
YMCA as formerly
Other things noted by Miss Hooper
were the small attendance at chapel
and the still strong interest in be-
coming teachers.

Huntington Donates Beerhound
Sculpture To East Carolina College
For New Art Gallery
Anna Hyatt Huntington, noted
sculptor, presented a piece of sculp-
ture entitled the "Deerhound" to
sEast Carolina College following an
exhibition of her work last winter
yn Joyner Memorial Library.
Mrs. Huntington ranks as one of
ie greatest, American sculptors and
ikes firs place among women sculp-
jrs in this country. Among her most
ioos works are the equestrian
roan of Arc" on Riverside Drive,
New York City; "Fighting Stallions"
jn Brookgreen Gardens in South
Carolina; and "El Cid" at the Span-
ish Museum in New York City. Her
work is placed in more than 200
museums throughout the woTld.
Brookgreen Gardens, an outdoor
sculpture museum of 6,500 acres, was
founded and later presented to South
Carolina by Mrs. Huntington and her
husband, Archer Milton Huntington,
art patron and philanthropist.
"It's been a great privilege having
been here under five presidents, each
of whom contributed to the great
growth and character of East Caro-
lina College. I believe Dr. Wright and
Dr. Messick to be the two great
builders
Miss Hooper will remain in Green-
ville for several weeks this summer
working on a research project for
the college. After completion of this
work, she will make her home at
3230 Choctaw Avenue in Memphis,
Tennessee.

will be on campus for a dance July
11, according to Entertainment Com-
mittee Chairman Trish Stuart. The
informal dance will be held beside
the maintenance building from 8:00-
12:00 p.m.
Gene Lusk, Entertainment Com-

they are highly recommended by the
colleges where they have played
Another committee member, Don
Griffin, added that the Chapel Hill
combo is one of the most popular
bands in North Carolina.
Negro entertainment on campus
was approved by the ECC Board of
Trustees during the 1957-88 school
year, but It was not until last sum-

Interviews For
Naval Cadets
To Be Held
Representatives from the Office of
Naval Officer Procurement in Ral-
eigh will visit East Carolina College
next Wednesday, for the purpose of
explaining the Navy's commissioned
officer programs to interested per-
sonnel. Interviews will be conducted
in the Student Union.
Openings are available for assign-
ment in Aviation, General Line, and
in numerous specialty categories.
Most of the progams are open only
to the college seniors who expect to
graduate; however, under-graduates
who have completed 60 semester
hours of accredited college work may
apply for appointment as a Naval
Aviation Cadet.
In order to avoid delay in being
ordered to active duty after gradua-
tion, applications may be processed
several months prior to attaining the
required academic qualifications. Any
candidate who meets the required
standards may take the qualifica-
tion test and make application with
the visiting Navy Procurement Team
if he desires. Those who take Him
qualification teats or who make ap-
plication and subsequently change
their mind are not obligated
in any way.

SGA Should Look
To The Past
Last summer the Student Government
Association acheived a brilliant record. Their
legislative program accomplished more worth-
while contributions than most regular-term
legislatures can boast.
Under the leadership of Summer School
President Johnny Hudson, the SGA left a so-
lid and real mark on East Carolina.
They purchased the first school mascot,
named the campus streets, wrote a new sum-
mer school constitution, acquired Negro en-
tertainment, unsuccessfully, but vigorously,
waged a campaign for movie discounts and
permission for codeds to wear Bermudas on
back campus. They made possible for the
first time, a full-sized weekly newspaper in
the summer and provided more money for
deserving athletic scholarships.
There is plenty more that can be done
for East Carolina, and, despite the heat,
there is no better time than in the summer.
The summer school SGA is a small group,
which lends to speed, efficiency, and proper
spirit.
Let us hope that this summer the pre-
sent administration will try to equal the work
and the amount of work achieved by the
group last summer. Several students in this
group are back and the new faces should
add originality to experience and result in
another successful summer in student govern-
ment.
Doug Clark's Combo
No one is griping too much about the
week end situation on the campus this sum-
mer, mainly because those few people who
do stay here on week ends can't blame the
ones who leave. Suffering in the heat is
not bad when one suffers at one of the near-
by beaches.
Next week end, however, the Student
Government hopes that many students will
stay, not only to study for exams, but to
attend the first big entertainment attrac-
tion for the summer. Doug Clark's combo
from Chapel Hill is reputedly one of the
hottest bands ever to play in this area.
We join the SGA hoping that this event
will provide a lot of fun for many students.

Editorially
Speaking
By JEAN ANN WATERS
New SGA president Jimmie Wall
presided over his first SGA meeting
last Thursday, and we think he is
proing to do an excellent job. He has
a lot of new ideas, one of them being
getting good entertainment at a min-
imum cost. That plan should save
the SGA quite a bit of money. With
such an experienced staff behind him,
Jimmie should really get things done
this summer.
Brother, is it ever hot! It makes
me wish for the good old days last
winter when we were having snowball
fights through the window. That's
how the glass in the door got broken.
You see, we upstairs in Wright
Building were carrying on a wild
war with a bunch of people outside.
A group of our assailants sneaked
inside for a rear attack, but one of
our scouts spotted them. As a snow-
ball came flying down the hall, he
lammed the dpor, and the snowball
came through the glass. The story
we told the maintenance man was
pretty good, too.
We wonder if the heat affects
grades Maybe if someone did a study
of that, the board of education would
recommend air-conditioning for all
classrooms. It surely would be worth
try.
Complaints about the trash on the
ground in front of the women's dorms
were brought before the administra-
tion, who turned thumbs down on
the idea of having garbage cans
placed in strategic spots. They sug-
gested that the ceramics class next
fall create suitable receptacles that
wouldn't have that "back alley" look.
The summer EAST CAROLINIAN
staff are working their heads off,
but we still need more peoplere-
porters, re-writers, typists, column-
ists, proofreaders, business staff. If
you are interested, just come to the
offices in Wright Building.
Don't forget to check the sports
page and ears of the newspaper for
College Union activities. Many peo-
ple missed the ice cream party last
week because they didn't hear about
it.
Out poor little mascot, Buc, must
be lonely. Not many people are brave
enough to come close enough to pet
him, so he doesn't get too much at-
tention. It's a shame because he is
really quite friendly.
We just received an educational
program information bulletin from
the NBC television network. Modern
Chemistry is the subject for the
1969-60 season, with Dr. John F.
Baxter, Professor of Chemistry at
the University of Florida, as the
national teacher. The programs will
be telecast Monday thru Friday, 6:30-
7 a. m local time thruout the coun-
try, and the tentative starting date
is September 28, 1959. The program
format will consist of 80 TV lecture
demonstrations each semester, 160
lessons in all. Dr. Baxter will serve
as the over-all teacher and there will
be frequent guest lecturers, including
Nobel Prize wmner in Chemistry.
For those who missed it the first
time the entire course in Atomic
Age Physics conducted by Dr. Harvey
E. White will be repeated in the
1069-00 season at 6-6:30 a.m.

ning an augmented season of opera

Expansion Requires Money
-j
Public Not Aware Of EC's Need
East Carolina College is a co-educational college
maintain-ed by the State of North Carolina for the
purpose of giving young men and women tinin8
that will enable them to earn a Bachelor of Science,
a Bachelor of Arts, a Bachelor of Music, or a Master
of Arts degree. The physical plant of the college
consist of approximately 130 acres and 25 buildings
appropriate to the work of the college. Enrollment
for the 1967-58 school year is in excess of 3700 and
includes students from nearly all of North Carolina s
100 counties and adjoining states.
A sound general education program is offered
as the foundation on which specialized training may
be based. Pre-professional training and Secretarial
Science are aiso available. Students may take work
in the following fields: Art, Education Business
Education, English, Foreign Language, Geography,
Health and Physical Education, Home Economics,
Industrial Arts, Library Science, Mathematics Music,
Psychology, Science, and Social Studies. An Air
Force ROTC unit located at the college provides an
opportunity for men, upon graduation, to be com-
missioned as Second Lieutenants in the Air force
after which they may enter flight training and earn
their wings. i
Additional information may be obtained by writ-
ing to the Registrar, East Carolina College, Green-
ville, N. C.
Many people are aware of East
Carolina College's rapid growth over
the past few years. Schoolteachers,
doctors, farmers, businessmen realize
that during the last decade, what
was once an insignificant few acres
in Pitt County has become an insti-
tution whose reputation attracts stu-
dents from all over North Carolina
and many surrounding states; stu-
dents who have, on many occasions,
chosen ECC in preference to the
academic "grandaddies" in this state.
Unfortunately, many people who
have applauded the growth of the
school are not aware of the despe-
rate need for money necessitated by
its rapid expansion.
East Carolina College is not a
weed. Its spurts of growth are per-
haps similar, but the fruit it bears
makes a more than adequate dif-
ferentiation. The hundreds of stu-
dents who leave ECC annually to
assume responsible positions, are not
the products of an illegitimate sprig
that shot up in any cow pasture of
education, but are products of a plant
that, in spite of its rapid growth, has
been well-cultivated.
Naturally, the plant food is money.
As it takes soil, water, and vi-
tamins to grow a plant, it takes facil-
ities, students and money to grow a
school. It is not because people in
legislative positions want to give
East Carolina the "cold shoulder
but rather because the people of North
Carolina don't know that East Caro-
lina College has increased more in
average attendance from 1947 to 1959
than any other State college250
per cent. They don't realize that it
has seen a 360 per cent increase in
annual graduates during that same
period, and an increase of 275 per
cent in graduates who will teach.
They don't know that the school has
ReligiousnCollege Union
Activities Open To Students
By MARCELLE VOGEL
I wonder how many of the summer
students know about the many fine
religious facilities that are open in
the summer to the college students?
Whatever your denomination is, there
is a place for you to worship and to
enjoy the fellowship of others of
your own faith.
Among the many student centers
on campus are the new and lovely
Methodist Student Center, the Pres-
byterian Student Center, the Baptist
Student Union and the Episcopal Cen-
ter. Most of these groups have grayer
service Sunday and Wednesday nights,
and often other fellowship meetings
at other times during the week. Why
not join them some evening? You're
sure to receive a blessing from the
meeting, and others will too. Don't
forget the Lord during the summer
when you're enjoying the beach or a
trip to the mountains, because with-
out Him all the wonders of the world
wouldn't be here for us to enjoy.
Everybody be sure to come to The
Music on the Mall this evening. It
will take place on the quadrangle
across from the library at 6:80. Fol-
lowing this musical program "Sing
Boy Sing" will be shown in Austin.
A new entertainment sponsored by
the College Union is the Bingo-tee
cream party and the watermelon cut-
tings on Wednesday evenings. Many
students seemed to enjoy these acti-
vities, and similiar ones are being
planned for the near future.
Did you know that the north lounge
off Wright Auditorium is open now as
a record listening room? Many fine
classical, musical comedy, and jazz
records are there for your enjoy-
ment.

Unless ECC gets the money it needs
to obtain more competent instructors
and build sufficient living and edu-
cational accomodations, it may be
pruned back to earth or even rooted
up.
ECC has received less per capita in
appropriations during the last eleven
years than any other state college,
and the school needs over $400,000
per year beyond what the North Caro-
lina Budget Commission recommend-
ed. And these are bare, essential
needs.
What, particularly, are some of
these need3?
(1) Increase of salaries of admin-
istration, faculty, and professional
staff. It's been long-evident that
people have to eat and wear clothes.
(2) Increase of student workers'
salaries from 55 to 75 cents an hour,
the amount paid in some institutions
for several years. A student has the
initiative to help pay his way. Why
can't he be paid as much as other
students in other schools?
(3) Laboratory equipment for
foreign languages. You get what you
pay for.
(4) Additional money for various
operational expenses such as sup-
plies and materials, postage, tele-
phone and telegraph, travel expenses,
and equipment.
(5) Faculty research. They must
learn more to teach more.
(6) Critic-teacher salary supple-
ment to take care of supervision of
student teaching. One of the most
important segments of teacher-edu-
cation is practice. Student teachers
must be skillfully supervised and
helped.
How long must a school maintain
a top enrollment rating, the third
largest in the state, and still be on
the bottom of the appropriations list?
How can a school capture and hold
the air of dignity and prestige that
accompanies any institution of high-
er learning if it must ignore the fact
that it is crowded to capacity? How
can it turn away an honor high-
school student because of insufficient
facilities and be happy?
The backbone of a college is its
faculty. To get a good faculty mem-
ber, you must pay him good money.
You buy a second-hand car, you pay
for a second-hand car. The ECC fa-
culty abounds with men and women
who have spent their lives educating
themselves so that they might edu-
cate others. But faculty members
like to eat too.
Starting salaries for EC faculty
members are not too bad; however,
longevity at this school is not re-
warded. In any job, whether it's
sweeping the floor of a textile mill,
or designing automobiles in Detroit,
a worker expects a degree of ad-
vancement accompanied by increased
wages. EC faculty members get the
advancement, but the long arm of
Ebenezer Scrooge again handles the
money situation.
It takes a lot of money to run a
college. It takes a lot more to double
the size of one, but before there can
ever be a sizeable increase again,
the school must meet its present
needs. It cannot meet these needs un-
less they are known. by legisla-
tors, by educators, and by the general
tax-paying public of North Carolina.
East Carolina College has the poten-
tial ingredients for making one of
the outstanding schools in the South-
land. In ten years, with sufficient
funds, this school will have surpass-
ed many comparable schools all over
the country in body and substance.
East Carolina wants to shove no
other schools off the map. It merely
wants to reassure its own growth,
to assert itself as an educational
power, and it can, but for the grace
of the North Carolina State Legisla-
ture.
Through The Eyes Of A Cat
Buc Fails To Perk Up
Sagging School Spirit
Something must be done about the
situation on this campus. The place
has been completely dead under any
and all circumstances. We have lack-
ed, and still do lack what is general-
ly known as a college spirit. Some-
thing was mentioned last year in
summer school that the purchase of
a mascot would help improve our
college spirit, but as far as I can
see poor old Buc has not helped the
situation much. It isn't quite as bad
during the 'fall quarter, for the foot-
ball games and dances afterwards
seem to appeal enough to the stu-
dents to keep them down here over
fhe week-ends. Counting that off,
everybody takes off leaving only a
few and not too ambitious stray
cats, who sleep and study over the
week-end, although I do not con-
demn anyone for studying: I praise
them for doing so.
The point actually is that Green-
ville itself does not offer any parti-
cular attraction to anyone, and this
leaves the whole responsibility to
the campus and students themselves.
Who can blame a student for leaving
Greenville and going home, even If
home is just as bad a place as Green-
ville? At least they know loads of
people that they do not see every day,
and this gives them the opportunity
for a "change of air
Summing up, this makes us re-
sponsible for the situation. Our new
vice-president has intentions of try-
ing to improve this, but she will not
be able to do much without our
help. So, if we desire to give ECC
some campus spirit, we must cooper-
ate to change a situation which, in
case of remaining as it is, will
very definitely leave us in even worse
condition.
I sincerely believe I am not being
over-hopeful in expecting that this
situation will eventually improve.
After all, we will be doing ourselves,
and no one else, a favor.

Oh Sex! Oh Sin!
By TOM JACKSON
A recent argument between a gramn
school boy's mother and one of North Caro-
lina's public school teachers was finally
carried before the board of education. Tb'
argument was over the type of clothing
worn to school by the boy. It seems the boy
had committed the horrible sin of wearing
shorts to school. Or at least his teache
thought so.
Wonder why she objected to the shorts.
Were they distracting to the little girls in
the class? Or maybe they distracted the tea-
cher. (Oh sex! Oh sin!) The teacher, in this
case, seems to be acting a little unreasonable.
No, not unreasonable, just plain stupid, to
make such an issue over so trite a matter.
On the other hand, if the teacher is not
to be boss in the classroom, who is? Some-
one must be in complete charge in the class-
room or else there will be only chaos. Even
if the shorts were a little more comfortable
in the classroom, the teacher had (or should
have) the authority to prohibit them if she
thought they were distracting or in any way
hindering the daily lessons.
However, who was right or wrong is not
the thing with which we should be concern-
ed. The thing we should all denounce as de-
plorable is the fact that both women, the
teacher and the boy's mother, spent so much
time bickering back and forth over the mat-
ter. Is it not almost certain that more class-
room time was lost to giggles and jokes
among the other students over the matter
than would have been lost if the case of the
bermuda shorts had just been ignored by
one party or the other?
To think that two grown women (well,
at least they can be considered adults if one
looks at them chronologically) could be so
concerned over a matter as unimportant as
this is disgusting. And one of them is sup-
posed to be an educator!
As long as the boy was decent, does it
matter what he wore to school? Apparently
these two women have forgotten what a
school is. It is not (or at least shouldn't be)
a place for fashion shows, a proving ground
for experimental models of stubborn women,
a morals, workshop, or a picnic area for
people who "know they are always right
A school is, or should be, an institution
of learning. Well, these two people proved
it is an institution. Now all we have to do
is to find out what kind.
The distressing fact is that a surprising
number of our teachers, administrators, and
educational leaders concern themselves daily
with things no more important than what
the type of clothing that a student should
wear, or the name of Elizabeth Barret Brown-
ing's dog!
What does it matter if a student wears
shorts or not, and for that matter, did Mrs.
Browning's dog write any poems?
Check your list of truly great men (and
women). Were any of them concerned with
trite matters such as this? I feel I must warn
you before you start, Ben Franklin wore
knee breeches.

The Bombers softball squad of Jay
Alphin continued to pace all teams
in league action. This club with 7
wins against no losses knocked off
the Rinky Dinks of Ed Emory in a
double header on Monday. The scores
were 11 to 4 and 18 to 6. In the
double win the Bombers came close
to clinching the intramural softball
championship title for the first sum-
mer session. As many as nine wins
out of twelve games would probably
do the trick.
Alphin's club consists of Dave Le-

Ex-EGC Athlete
Very Successful
In Virginia
(Editor's Note) This is the second
of a series of articles dealing with
former outstanding athletes of East
Carolina College who are now doing
graduate work here.
George H. Graybill is one of many
coaches who manage to succumb to
the teaching and coaching invitations
that Virginia hands out. At the pre-
sent time he is the assistant football
and baseball coach at Jefferson Sen-
ior High School, Roanoke, Virginia.
Greenville has influenced Mr. Gray-
hill's life a great deal. Perhaps the
dominant of three things is his mar-
riage to a Greenville girl, the
former Miss Ann Suttcn. Second-
ly, he has a Bachelor of Science De-

Most of the players tend to social-

also live in rooms close together in

It was the first two games of the
12 game schedule for Charles Har-
per's Iron Scouts team. They turned
in 14 to 4 and 9 to 8 wins over Bob
Owen's Diamond Bandit squad.
Harper has such notables as Jess
Curry, Charles Adams, Don Harris
and Maurice Everette on his club.
Another addition is Tabor City's out-
standing athletic performer during
his high school era, Jack Cox.
The double loss sunk the Diamond
Bandits down to the .500 mark with
a 4 and 4 record. At one time this
club had an unblemished record with
4 wins against no losses.

Carolina got together last Monday.
One was the Old Grads while the
other club is named the Graduates.
Reggie Byrd coaches the former while

Jefferson Senior High School is a
Group I school. This is the highest
class that a high school in Virginia
can rank in. It was in 1957 that the
ECC-Grad felt the thrill of a champ-
ionship win as a coach. J 'ferson
Senior nabbed the State Champion-
ship in Group I play in gridiron
play. Said the young Coach concern-
ing this honor, "This has been our
best season since I have been there
in Roanoke. I must say that it was
indeed a pleasure to woTk with such
a great group of boys and to be a

Jefferson Senior faired better than
most high schools do again last year.
Graybill's school boasted a rather
impressive 6 wins against 3 losses
for the 1958 year.
Henton the doubles title.
Outstanding matches in the singles
event were Ted Lassiter's defeat of
favored Boyce Honeycutt 21-18, 14-21,
21-19, with Lassiter's blocking de-
fense and hard forehand drives over-
powering Honeycutt's chop defense
and backhand attack, and both semi-
final matches. In the semi-finals Bul-
la's chop defense and backhand and
forehand drives defeated Lassiter
21-15 and 21-18, while Kilpatrick
stopped Benton's backhand drives
with his lob defense and forehand
kill shots, 21-H. 21-17.
In the first games of the singles
final between Bulla and Kilpatrick,
KilPatrick's fast moving attack built
up a 20-15 lead, only to find Bulla
stiffen his defense and take the next
five points. Kilpatrick then went on
place. Another very important fac-
tor has been the program of seeking
scholars as well as athletes. This
program was put into effect by head
Football Coach Jack Boone. In a
period of about 10 years approxi-
mately 25 of all students wearing
ECC football uniform have been
lost due to poor academic standing.
To show you just how much the

23-21. The third game of the match
proved to be the most exciting, how-
ever, as Bulla's well placed defensive
returns and backhand drives broke
up Kilpatrick's forehand attack, and
established an 18-12 lead. At this
point Kilpatrick stopped attacking,
and with a series of chop returns
from 10-15 feet back of the table,
won the next nine points, to capture
the championship 23-21, 21-15, 21-18.

High School Science
Institute Held Here
By ALICE TORIOLANO
A Secondary Science Institute, held
here in EOC from June 7-27 was
attended by High School students
from Virginia, and the Carolina's.
Most of the participants were rising
seniors and juniors with a few sopho-
mores. The purpose of this Institute
was to give some outstanding stu-
dents in science the opportunity to go
deeper into the details than they nor-
mally would in high school.
Four courses were conducted: Chem-
istry, taught by Dr. Frank W. Eller;
Physics, by Mr. Hatley. a high school
teacher in Albemarle; biology by Mrs.
Moore and Dr. Mary C. Helms, and
Earth Science by Dr. Robert E. Cra-
mer. The students were allowed to
choose a major and a minor course
and had classes in both every morn-
ing and a lab in the afternoon in the
major field.
Trips were taken to a paper mill,
biology department of North Carolina
State College, and the Duke Marine
Laboratory in Beaufort. Twice a week
they had lectures at night, with prom-
inent University professors as guest
speakers.
All this kept the students pretty
busy, but they were given the oppor-
Foreign Service
Exams Take Place
During December
tunity for swimming and sports in
the afternoon. The whole group went
on a single picnic on their first week
down here. This and also the classes
brought them very close together as
a group, they said. The students told
me how much they had enjoyed their
three weeks down here and how sad
they were that it would all be
over the next day.
Their impressions and opinion of
the work itself were excellent, and
some of them mentioned that they
had gotten ideas they intended to use
for projects and theories that they
wished to develop in the future.
The Chemistry students learned to
mix their own chemicals and analize
the contents of chemicals.
Dr. Kller expressed his opinion that
the students were rather naive be-
cause of having come from such small
High Schools and that the mechani-
cal aptitude erf the groups was fairly
low, but that the overall intellectual
ability was much better than the tea-
chers had dared to expect.
Most of the students plan careers in
the field of Science or related fields,
and thoroughly enjoyed the work they
did during the three weeks that the
Institute was held. They thought they
had gotten a preview of what college
life will be like.
One of the teachers said, "Even if
they did not learn as much as we
hoped they would, they had a grand
time and made a few lifelong friends
among those whose ambitions are in
the same field: that of Science
Dr. Frank Eller Observes Student's Work
The United States Department of
State will hold its next written For-
eign Service Office Examination on
December 5, 1959 in approximately
65 centers throughout the United
States and at Foreign Service posts
abroad. Early announcement is made
in response to inquiries received as
a result of the cancellation of the
December, 1958 examination. In an-
nouncing the examination the De-
partment is seeking to interest un-
dergraduate and graduate students
who have studied in such fields as
economics, public and business ad-
ministration, language and area
studies, history and political science.
T"o be eligible to take this exami-
nation, candidates must be at least
21 and under 32 years of age as of
October 19, 1959. Persons 20 years
of age may also apply if a college
graduate or a senior in college. They
must be American citizens of at
least 9 years' standing. Although a
candidate's spouse need not he a citi-
zen on the date of the examination,
citizenship must have been obtained
prior to the date of appointment.
Candidates who are successful in
the one-day written examination,
which tests their faculty in English
expression, general ability and back-
ground, will subsequently be given
oral examinations by panels which
will meet in regional centers through-
out the United States. Fluency in a
language, while not an examination
requirement, must be attained be-
fore an officer can advance in the
service. Those candidates who pass
the oral test will then be given a
physical examination and a back-
ground investigation. If found quali-
fied in all respects, candidates will be
placed on a register and appoint-
ments will be riade therefrom as
needed, in the order of examination
scores. The names of candidates fail-
ing to receive appointments within
30 months from the date of the
written examination will be removed
from this register. Upon appointment,
the candidate will receive three com-
missions from the President as
Foreign Service Office Class 8, as
Secretary in the Diplomatic Service,
ami as Vice Consul of Career.
A newly appointed Foreign Service
Officer may serve his first totir of
duty either in the Department's
headquarters in Washington, D. C,
or at one of the 286 American Em-
bassies, Legations, and Counsulates
abroad. The new officers may be
assigned to several functions to give
him varied training and experience
in consular work, in administrative
assignments, including ones in the
accounting and management fields,
and in political, economic, interna-
tional finance and commercial re-
porting.
The starting salary for the new-
ly appointed Foreign Service Officers
range from $5,225 to $5,885 per year,
depending upon the qualifications,
experience, marital status, and age
at the time of appointment. Also,
certain allowances, plus insurance,
medical, education and retirement
benefits are granted, as well as an-
nual and sick leave.
Application forms and other infor-
mation may be obtained immediately
by writing to the Board of Examiners
for the Foreign Service, Department
of State, Washington 26, D. C. The

U. S. Engineering:
Enrollment Shows
Slight Decrease
In the fall of 1957, first-year col-
lege enrollments in engineering were
78,757. Last fall, enrollments fell
to 70,129.
This was a drop of 11 percent. This
decline in freshman engineering
courses was in contrast to an in-
crease of 7 percent in the total first-
year enrollments.
Total undergraduate enrollment in
engineering subjects also went down.
Undergraduate enrollment in engi-
neering last fall was 250,995, compar-
ed with 208,761 in the fall of 1957.
This was a drop of 4.4 per cent.
In graduate courses, upward trends
in engineering were maintained at
the beginning of the current school
year.
Alcohol Seminar Is Rated Higl
By Teachers And Students
Dr. Frank W. Eller of the Department of Physics is shown observing several high school students as
they went about their lab exercises in a recent Secondary Science Institute held here on June 7-27. Many
felt that it was one of the most successful institutes e ver held in the Science Department at East Carolina.
Science Institute Here Is Made Possible Through
Large Grant By National Science Foundation;
Workshop Will Feature Dr. Bradner
Nine visiting scientists and mathe-
maticians, all outstanding in their
fields, will act as lecturers, leaders
of seminars, and consultants at the
Summer Institute for High School (graphic Office, Washington, D. &
Science and Mathematics Teachers
to be presented at East Carolina
June 8-July 17, Institute director J. O.
Derrick of the Science Department
has announced.
The Institute was made possible
through a grant to the college of
$59,200 made by the National Science
Foundation. The objectives are to
provide advanced training for sixty
competent teachers, to help them
find ways of motivating able stu-
dents toward careers in science and
mathematics, to provide stimulating
contracts with prominent scientist
and mathematicians, and to effect
improvement in instruction in the
high school.
Interest in the Institute is indi-
cated, Mr. Derrick stated, by the
fact that more than 300 applications
for the sixty stipends offered to
participants have been received here.
Teachers from many parts of the
country east of the Rockies, he said
have applied.
Five courses in natural science and
two in mathematics will be taught
by members of the East Carolina
faculty. Two seminars in science will
be directed by Mr. Derrick and one in
mathematics by Dr. David R. Davis,
head of the college Mathematics
Department and assistant director of
the Institute. In addition, a series
of lectures by the visiting seminar
leaders and consultants will be open
to the public
Five of the visiting scientists and
mathematicians are from North Caro-
lina. They are Dr. A. F. Chestnut,
Institute of Fisheries Research, Uni-
versity of North Carolina, at More-
head; Dr Paul J. Kramer, professor
of botany at Duke University and
past president of the American As-
sociation of Physiologists; Dr. Henry
Shannon, state supervisor of science
and mathematics, Raleigh, Dr. S. Y.

Other visitors who will participate
in the Institute program are Dr.
William Clark Kelley, American In-
stitute of Physics, New York City;
and Dr. Bruce Meserve, professor of
mathematics, Montclair State College,
New Jersey.
Through the cooperation of the
American Bible Society, East Caro-
lina College's summer workshop in
"The Bible and Its Background" will
make use of some of the most up-
to-date and effective visual aids on
the subject.
The workshop, planned to meet the
needs and interest of teachers, church
Worker, ministers, and others, will
cover the two-week period of July
16-July 29. Dr. Cleveland J. Bradner.
Jr director of religious activities at
the college, will act as director.
Four full-length films, supplied by
the American Bible Society, will be
shown and discussed as part of the
workshop program. They are "Our
BibleHow it came to Us a history
of the Bible; "God's Word in Man's
Language dealing with the problems
of translators of the Scriptures; "The
Word Giveth Light demonstrating
the usefulness of the Braille Bible;
and "Bearer of the Book showing
the use of the Bible in various parts
Dr. William F. Kieffer, editor of the of the world.
Journal of Chemical Education; Dr. Several exhibitions of materials
John Layman, director of the Division j about the Bible will be on display
of Oceanography, U. S. Navy Hydro- during the workshop. These include
Facsimile Pages of Nine Historic
Bibles and Testaments in English
and Volumes of the Scriptures in
Various Languages.
Registration for the workshop will
be completed July 15, opening day

Jane F. White and Mrs. Thadys
J. Dewar, faculty members of the
department of business were among
exhibitors at the Tenth Annual Busi-
ness Education Summer Conference
at Virginia Polytechnic Institute,
Ilacksburg, Va June 30-July 2.
They represented Educational Sup-
plies and Services, a business organ-
ized by them in 1958 to provide teach-
ers with instructional materials use-
ful in business courses. At present
their materials are used in all but
six of the states and in more than
75 colleges and universities, includ-
ing six in foreign countries.
The Conference will bring together
approximately 250 teachers of busi-
ness from all parts of Virginia.
An objective and constructive ap-
proach to the problems of alcohol in
a course taken by 97 students en-
rolled in the 9th annual workshop
dealing with Alcoholism in Health
Education at East Carolina College,
in the opinion of Dr. N. M. Jorgen-
sen, workshop director, makes the
two-week session just ended here the
most productive of any he has con-
ducted.
Purpose of the workshop has been
to help teachers, prospective teach-
i rs. and community leaders enrolled
'or the 30-hour course to develop a
hotter understanding of the numer-
ous problems- -emotional, sociological.
Mythological, and physiological
wtrl 'h accompany the "use and mis-
use" of beverage alcohol.
Co-Sponsor of the workshop is the
North Carolina Alcoholic Rehabili-
tation Program. East Carolina has
provided facilities and through Dr.
Jorgensen, director of health and phy-
gieal education, a number of off-
ampus persons have contributed to
the workshop program.
The instructors who have enrolled
in workshops at the college and then
trone out into North Carolina and
other states to extend a better un-
derstanding of the problems of al-
coholism must now number more than
500 individuals, according to Dr. Jor-
trensen. Some of these have been
coachea and physical education tea-
chers. Others have been workers in
recreation and church schools.
From time to time, Dr. Jorgensen
has called upon ministers to offer
counseling of a religious nature, at
other times, he has invited judges
and court officials to discuss legal
nspeeds of the problem. Members of
Alcoholics Anonymous have discuss-
ed the "AA 12-step program
This year Dr. Norbert L. Kelly,
executive director of the N. C. Al-
coholic Rehabilitation Program, and
Dr, Fred W. Ellis, associate profes-
sor of pharmacology, University of
North Carolina, were guest lecturers
at the East Carolina workshop. In
addition to their class discussions,
they also illustrated their presenta-
tions through the use of films dealing
with causation and treatment of al-
coholism, physiology and metabolism
of alcohol, and dynamics of person-
ality development.
North Carolina's facilities and pro-
gram for studies in alcoholism, public
institutes, workshops and clinics, and
other "action" programs were cited
by Dr. Kelly as indications that the
public- is becoming actively interest-
ed in these problems as they relate
to individuals and social groups.
Among other studies related to al-
coholism, Dr. Kelly noted the rela-
tion of alcoholism to traffic viola-
tions, industrial and highway safety,
driver education, and law enforce-
ments.
Following up the lecture, the stu-
dents considered the variety, com-
plexity, and intensity of problem
related to "misuse" of alcoholic
verages, and proceeded to the m
lining of an educational philosophy
for instruction about alcohol, and thi
organization of materials, procedure
and techniques for instruction abou
alcohol.
The North Carolina school nrogra
was discussed in two semir.ars jj
which students noted the social, emen
tiona and physical health problem
which compel the attention and
eern of the pubic and which are
times discussed in church and icboal
Students agree that there a-
and immediate solutions f (
nroblems which grow out of al
ism, but that through a consi I
-tudy of human behavior and forea
-haping the culture of the I
d ways and procedures of treat
ing dealing with them may be disn
covered.
Plans are already being mac-
two groups in the 1960 alcoh
workshop, since the number of
terested persons increases annual
