New Language Lab
Planned For '60
By MARCELLE VOGEL
Through the efforts of our repre
sentatives in the General Assembly,
the state legislature has provided
money for a well-equipped language
laboratory on campus, J. Roy Prince
of the Foreign Language Department
announced.
This lab may be in operation when
school opens or soon there after. It
will be located on the first floor of
the Graham Building, which is the
new quarters of the Department of
Foreign Languages. Although the
plans are not complete, its operation
will start with elementary classes;
then gradually it will be used in all
classes when possible.
The laboratory will be equipped
with 20 semi-soundproof booths, each
with a tape recorder, microphones
and earphones. It may be used by
whole classes or by individuals.
Procedures for its use are varied
and flexible, but the basic pattern
will be that a student will go to the
lab, having individual tapes on which
will be recorded from master tapes
some material related to his class-
work. He will play the master tape
on his machine, listen to the record-
ing and record on the same tape his
responses, either repetition of words,
phrases, sentences, answers to ques-
tions or other materials. He will then
play back his tape, and on hearing
his pronunciation, he will note his
mistakes, then record again, trying
to improve.
The machine makes it possible for
him to erase his own recording, but
he cannot erase the master recording
At the end of the lab period he may
hand in his tape to be checked by
his teacher. Through a console, a
monitor may listen in on any recorder
in use and hear any student or com-
municate with him by microphone.
Students of different languages
may use the lab at the same time,
but if a class is in the lab, they may
all be able to hear the same record-
ing from the console.
The value of the lab is that a stu-
dent will get more opportunity to
hear and understand the spoken lan-
guage. Also, and most important, he
will be able to have more chance to
improve his own pronunciation by his
individual work with the recording.
This laboratory system is the nearest
approach to having one teacher for
each pupil.
All of the department members
have worked on plans for this new
laboratory, but this summer a
thorough study has been made by
James L. Fleming, Director of the
Department and Dr. J. Roy Prince,
who is to be in charge of the lab, so
that the best available satisfactory
equipment will be bought.
Plans Underway For
Crowning Of Queen
Post Mistress
Enjoys Her Job
By GWEN JOHNSON
The day of a post mistress begins
at 7:45 in the morning and ends at
5:45 p.m. The mail man brings the
mail and it is sorted; then at 9:00
the post office window is opened and
a new day begins.
Mildred Manning, post mistress,
first came to work in the college post
office in 1957. Since she has been
here, she has had many humerous
experiences.
"One day a teacher came in and
asked how much her package weigh
I Plans are underway for the crown-
ing of a Summer School Queen at a
formal dance next session, according
f to Don Griffin, Chairman of the Sum-
mer School Queen Election Com-
mittee.
Entries may be submitted by dorm-
itories and campus organizations to
Don Griffin before July 20. The
queen will be elected by the students.
Dates for the election and dance will
be announced later. Candidates must
be enrolled in summer school and
have a 3 average in all courses.
Nancy Harris, last year's Sum-
mer School Queen, will crown the
new queen.

that the band to play at the dance
has not yet been definitely decided
upon. However they disclosed that
a "big-name" band will be hired, one
which they hope will appeal to a
majority of the students.
The Entertainment Committee is
following its original policy of good
entertainment at a minimum cost.
The committee's first project was
getting Doug Clark's Combo to play
at a dance here this weekend.
"We hope that by providing good
entertainment, we can encourage stu-
dents to stay on campus on week-
ends stated Miss Stuart.

she asked me how much more the
paper and string would weigh said
Mrs. Manning.
The post mistress stated that she
wished that she had written down
some of the things that the faculty
and students have asked her.
When asked about the attitude of
the students towards the post office,
Mrs. Manning replied, " Most of the
students are courteous and sweet. In
the two years that I have been here,
I have had only one student who was
very irritable to me. The students
grow very close to me, since my hob-
by is my work
The mail comes in twice a day, at
7:45 and 3:45 and it is distributed
among the students' boxes upon arri-
val.
"Since government regulations do
not require direct service, it would
be helpful if every student would in-
form publishers, friends and relatives
of his box number Mrs. Manning
said. "The correct box number would
save a lot of trouble, as well as
avoiding delayed mail
Many a day letters come to the
get her mail, but it may be delayed
"Once I heard the remark that the
post office sends all the mail back
where it came from if the mail does
not have a box number. This is not
true. Each letter and package is
looked up and if the person is not
listed in the directory, the mail is
then sent back
Mrs. Mayo Rogers came to work
with Mrs. Manning in 1958. Both
women say that they like their work
because .each new day is a new ex-
perience.
Student helpers in the post office
this quarter are Milly Bowden, Nor-
man Kilpatrick, and Gwen Johnson.
Mrs. Manning urges each student
to get a box assignment every fall
and summer because old box assign-
ments are discarded.
During the summer session, post
office boxes and equipment have been
installed in the East Dining Hall
while the floors in the old post office
are being removed and replaced with
terrazzo floors.

Nine years ago the terrible fight-
ing, that brought diaster and re-
sulted in much suffering and destruc-
tion to the Korean people, broke out.
This war left many thousand of
Korean people homeless, destitute,
and in a condition of famine. I saw
thousands of refugees suffering from
starvation and cold weather, and
countless homes destroyed. All young
men were obliged to join the Army.
During the cruel occupation period

The federal government has made
a lend-gift to station WWWS. Refer-
red to fondly as "the coffin the
machine, will make big production
programs possible. It is a GATES
Sound Truck. "The coffin" costs
$6,000 and weighs nearly 2,000
pounds.
The coffin is used to dub in back-
ground effects in programs. In other
words, sounds can be added to the
main dialogues such as trains, birds,
shouts, gun shots, and so forth.
The sound truck will probably be
in use this fall with the AM or FM
system or both. Ac; ording to WWWS
Business manager, Frank Grayiel,
consideration is being given to split-
ting the two systems. .
All of the radio equipment except
the AM transmitter is owned by the
U. S. government. Money appropriat-
ed by the SGA is being used to re-
vise this transmitter, so the radio
services will be available to the new
Jones Hall.
The annual State Reading Con-
ference sponsored by East Carolina
College was co-ordinated with the
college Special Education program
Wednesday.
In addition to addresses by Green-
ville City Schools Superintendent
Junius H. Rose at the opening ses-
sion in the morning and Dr. Melvin
P. Hoot of Greenville at the luncheon,
the program included demonstrations
in reading techniques, special lec-
tures, and speech and hearing clinics.
The conference was held in McGin-
nis Auditorium on the campus. Re-
gistration began at 9:00 a.m and
the opening session took place from
10 to 11 a.m.
Speakers, in addition to Mr. Rose
and Dr. Hoot, were experienced pub-
lic-school teachers. They are: Mrs.

Dr. Bernard Jackson, director of
special education at East Carolina,
directed the demonstrations in the
conference in this area, working on
articulation and stuttering therapy.
Twenty-six staff assitants in the
Summer Reading Clinic conducted de-
monstrations and book publishers had
reading consultants in attendance to
give counsel in problems which teach-
ers offered for discussion.

Is Housing Rule
A Wise Decision?
We really wonder if the college is mak-
ing a wise decision by ruling that day stu-
dents may live only in approved homes. Ac-
cording to the Dean of Student Affairs, the
regulations was a result of complaints lodged
by townspeople against occupants of uncha-
peroned houses.
Nt doubt complaints have been lodged,
but we wonder if these complaints could
justify a ruling- which will have consequences
other than remedying the situation.
We wonder how serious is the situation
and how many complaints have been lodged,
for certainly it is no small step the college
is taking when they enforce a ruling which
actually interferes with an individual's right
to live where he pleases
There are many mature adult men who
live in apartments in town who are not guilty
of indiscretion and who prefer fro live private-
ly and without chape rones Many of these
are good students and serious-minded people,
the kind of students our college cannot afford
to lose.
Another result of the ruling is that it
creates an atmosphere which is unpleasant
the feeling that the college is trying to pre-
vent someone from doing something wrong.
We wonder, too. what the townspeople
in Raleigh, and Chapel Hill, have to say about
?ome of the student occupants of unchaperon-
ed houses there, and we wonder how those
two colleges react.
And we wonder, too. how the students
would react if Carolina or State tried to
enforce such a ruling. The ruling is already
unpopular among the students here, even
those who the ruling does not effect, and
when it ia enforced, we feel it will be un-
popular with potential students, also. The
students of East Carolina, instead of moving
into the new dormitory or into the approved
homes, may just move out of town.
Geneva Meet Settles
Less Than Nothing
By JAMES U. CORBETT
Until a few weeks ago. American Offi-
cials and the public in general believed that
if President Eisenhower stood firm on his
demand for concrete achievements at Geneva,
the Soviet Union would eventually make some
concessions. Before the conference began he
made it clear that unless something worth-
while was accomplished, notably an agree-
ment on Berlin, there would be no summit
meeting.
Unfortunately the gathering at Geneva
has accomplished less than nothing, and re-
sulted only in a recess being called until July
18. This dogged determination on Russia's
part has caused many observers to take a
second look that has changed some opinions.
Many Westerners, the President included,
believed Khruschev wanted a Summit Con-
ference so badly he would at least agree on
some minor point concerning Berlin. This,
however, was not the case. The old belief
that the Russian Premier needed a Summit
Conference to bolster his prestige among the
Communist world has been largely discount-
ed. Instead the opinion has developed that he
wants one, but only on his terms. He possibly
feels that the loss of face resulting from giv-
ing ground would be much greater than the
benefits gained from such a meeting.
On the Berlin problem, Khruschev now
holds the upper hand. This is all the more
reason to be uncooperative in seeking a reme-
dy. At any moment he can turn control of
East Berlin over fro the East German puppet
regime, the threat of which is his most po-
tent weapon. After giving them theoretical
control of the city's eastern sector, in the
eyes of the world he would be relieved of
any responsibility for East Germany's action,
including a West Berlin blockade. He wants
nothing more than that: An event leading
to a Western setback with someone else to
shoulder the blame.
At the moment there is little to indicate
that the resumed meetings on July 13 in Gen-
eva will be vastly different from the one
just discontinued. It will be largely a session
of both sides submitting proposals they know
the other will reject. Charges and counter-
charges of aggression will continue to fly in
rapid succession. And in the end just another
stalemate will have been accomplished.
But on the other hand, a fire can always
be rekindled if a small spark remains. A
worthwhile agreement can likewise be attain-
ed from this small spark of a chance the re-
sumed meetings offer. It is entirely up to the
four powers involved to either use or abuse
the chance.
Brother Earl
if
It hooks like Governor Earl Long of
Louisiana is about to out do Brother Huey,
of the 1930's, when it comes to pulling pub-
licity stunts.
Once brother Huey started a nationwide
controversy over whether one should dunk
or sop pot liquor. Now Brother Earl has
started a controversy over whether or not
a Governor can step out of a mental hospital
and be re-elected.
Our guess is that Brother Earl stands
as good a chance as ever to be elected. For
m one old timer, fondly remembering the
days of Brother Huey's whirlwind political
campaigns, said, "Brother Earl ain't crazy,

So the rain finally came. The rain
that sends the kids to School. In an
area where the population directly
or indirectly depends mainly on agri-
culture for a living the amount of
rain in the summer is an important
thing.
The number of students at East
Carolina varies according to whether
the tobacco crop is good or bad. Fa-
culty members who have been here
many years say they can estimate the
fall quarter enrollment by the amount
of rain that falls the summer before.

creations mean. I'm sure of it. A
staff member who is an art major,
donated some of his work to cover
the bare walls of the office. When
asked what they were, he frowned,
rubbed his chin thoughtfully, and
confessed that he didn't know, but he
would think of something right away.
We like them, though, because they
add some color to the office.
We have an interesting situation

Angie Lou Says
Cinderella Was
Uncomfortable
Dear Mama,
I'm sho sorry I ain't written you
no sooner, but I has been pretty
busy. You know, if it won't for the
heat here this wouldn't be such a
bad place. Why, did you know that
they let these here girls here stay
out until twelve o'clock on Saturday
night? I thought at first they was
mighty careless letting these girls
run around loose like that and all,
but dont worry, they uses better
sense during the week and makes 'em
be in at 10:30. I knows that's still
pretty late cause these girls is all
about marrying age and that's the
worst age under the sun to let'em
spend too much time with a boy
cause there's no telling what they're
going to do, especially if they sees
the same one all the time. I said
something about how nice I thought
it was of them to let us stay out so
late to some of these other girls, but
all they could do was talk about
some fairy tale, you know, the one
about that girl who didnt have no
better sense than to wear glass shoes
to a dance and then lost one. I dont
guess they was too comfortable,
especially if she had any corns.
And, Lord Mama, there's so much
to do here. Would you believe it,
they got three moving pictures places
here in this town. Two of 'em, you
just sit inside cars to see 'em. I mean
that's really fun, too! Then, they got
all this television here and that's
pretty good tooonly trouble is, it
ain't in but two colorsblack and
whitebut after you seen all the
movie shows, you don't really mind,
cause, after all, it's almost just alike,
only television's smaller and since
you can't watch it in a car, it sorta
takes all the fun out of it.
One thing I dont understand
around here it that everbody cusses,
all the time, about everything. They
especially cusses in this place they
calls a "book store I mean, they
goes in there carrying a bunch of
books under their arm and then they
comes out without the books carry-
ing a couple of dollar bills in their
hands and just cussing like blue
blazes about how they was robbed
or cheated or something like that. I
cant understand it cause that aint
no way to act when people gives you
money or anything. I mean it's down-
right unnatural!
North Carolina Still Below
Other States In Education
By BILL BOYD
Nothing makes you feel as comfortable and secure in this old
troubled world of ours as the knowledge that others think along the
same lines that you do, generally speaking, concerning some controversial
issue or topic.
Since my many outspoken words concerning the teacher pay issue
in North Carolina have warranted me several favorable comments, all
in agreement incidentially, I thought I would be so bold to print one
letter mailed to the BAST OAROLINIAN from another modern day
thinker who has also given the teacher pay issue in North Carolina
some degree of factual thought.
It was one of our fellow students who urged me to write some-
thing of this nature in the first place. I felt that it is a hot and touchy
subject and I am lCO convinced that it is now. Numerous students
stopped me throughout the week and desired to talk about the issue. Most
of them wished to make me aware of even more facts, some told me
of people they know who are seeking teaching employment in another
state due to the failure of the legislators to give the teachers a subs-
tantial pay increase. Still others were anxious to inform me as to how
many letters, telegrams, verbal communications, etc they had managed
to get to their representatives. So the concensus is that all of us potential
teachers and teachers now in the field, think the same and desire the same,
as far as the economic stability of North Carolina's school teachers.
There can be only one way to fight this seeming "ignorance" on
the part of many of our legislatorsmore letters, more telegrams and
more verbal communication when it is time for the General Assembly to
convene in 1961. The next time the issue should be fought in such a
manner that it would be one of the first bills to be brought before these
"Industrial-Minded' men. I do not mind stating again that industry is
a wonderful thing. It is with sincere pride that we see it flourishing in
this great South of ours. It is a tribute to men like Governor Hodges,
Lieutenant Governor Barnhardt and others, but how these men can inspire
industry from New York through personal visits, etc and neglect educa-
tional advancement to the point of letting what little money that is left
in the bottom of the bucket be added to the teacher's salary fuud; how
they can do this and then gloat over a successful 1959 General Assembly,
this is completely beyond my comprehension.
A fellow student, Kenneth C. Norton, is somewhat perplexed over
the situation too.
Dear Bill,
I'm glad you are encouraging a verbal fight against the shameful
salaries the present and future teachers in North Carolina are facing.
Our present governor is to no end, praising the industrial growth and
further development of the Old North State. What does he expect
poorly educated people to do with a beautiful, advanced, industrial,
and agricultural state? Advanced thinking, good government, or the
average citizen doesn't merge from class "B schools or "B" teachers.
Very few people who are capable teachers are going to remain in North
Carolina and teach because they have pride in Tarheelia. Young and
efficient teachers are, for the most part, beginning to establish homes
and raising a family upon receiving their degree to teach. They need
all the money a job can offer. They care little if they have to cross
the state border to get a better paying position.
Education is the basic need for any group. North Carolinians are
not going to develope any superior economy, government, industrial
or tourist state without sufficient training. Maybe our governor and
legislature thinks it's better to have out-of-state industry enter the
state rather than develope minds in our own state to build better
businesses. Maybe our governoring body has the naivete to believe
that our attendance to this proposed arena for great sporting events
will put us in a "set" to learn and develope new ideas as the Greek
Phiilo opher used to think about a difficult language.
I am not proposing that North Carolina turn into a state of
genius producers that will revelutionize our state status in a decade,
I only wish to see us raise our standards to reach a level of decency
in the national averages. We have some great men in North Carolina
and that is good. We also have a laboring class which is large and
powerful in our economy. We have an asset in both of these factors.
With better school systems, we could have still a better asset in these
people and no one can truthfully say that good teachers are not the
foundation of any prosperous group, whether it be a group of Marine
trainees, industrial workers, or a class of public school children.
Bill, I wish everyone was as hot under the collar as I am over
the present and past situation of poorly paid teachers in North Caro-
lina
You may use this letter in any way you see fit in the betterment
of education in our state.
Sincerely,
Kenneth C. Norton
Some of you reading this may believe that I am biased; that I have
found a harp to play on and am picking it to death, but believe me, this
is not so. You can talk about supplements, working conditions, free vaca-
tions or what have you. You can compare teachers' salaries in this state
with other positions in this state; you can mention retirement, prestige,
professional standing, developers of youth and what have you. When you
are through talking you will still have the facts before you that again
let you know that we are below the forty mark in educational expendi-
tures, that a starting teacher receives $311 peT nine months by the state
salary scale, that North Carolina spends $203.09 per pupil per nine months
while the national average is $324.00 per pupil per nine months.
A professor of mine told me something that still sticks in my mind.
"The average adult citizen, unless he or she has a child in school, knows
one or two things about our public school. It is either open or closed
There is a lot of truth to this in certain respects. Therefore, if w
are going to improve the teachers salary in North Carolina, then we
will not have the backing of these types of citizens as they have no basic
reason to take sides in the first place. Thus, we have to do most of it
ourselves with the aid of the parents who do have children in school. Be
thinking this over. If you wish to express your opinion, send us a typed
letter with your signature and we will make every attempt to print it.
This invitation goes double to those graduate students here on campus.
You have the experience in this state to back up your opinionated writing.
Perhaps you are contented with the situation as it is and wish to take
the negative side. We will print that, too.
Then, they has a disease around
here that I aint ever seen one like
in my life. I noticed it the other day
when this boy spoke to this girl and
she jumped a mile and ran the other
way. I finally caught up with her,
because I didnt see no reason for
her to be so shy about boys and
allI mean, that aint natural either
and I just wanted to straighten
her out and show her there wont
nothing to be afraid of. So I grabbed
her and drug her back to where that
boy was sitting and said, "Go ahead,
say hello Well, she just shook her
head, and looked around real scared-
like to see if any body was looking.
Well, she just grabbed me all the
sudden and drag me over in this cor-
ner and says, "You fool. Dont cha
understand? I got a restriction
Well, I certainly didafter she told
me; so I told her I certainly was
sorry she was sick and was sure glad
to see she was nice enough not to
try to give it to nobody alia, After
I said that, she looked at me like I
might of had something catching my-
self and turned around and ran again.
I guess she was afraid I might catch
what she had too. Well, I dont guess
I did, cause I ain't had no trouble
speaking to boys at all.
I'll write again.
Love,
Angie Lou

27 Days Without
Water; Grab A
Bar Of Lifebuoy
By BOB HARPER
Inchon, Korea 1953
Twenty-seven days is a long time
to be without water. Most of the
soldiers were scratching constantly.
Some were not bothered the least bit.
I readily confess that this was the
longest period during my life that
my anatomy had not been cleansed.
I felt like a muddy alligator in the
sun.
On the twenty-eighth day a cloud
formed and a slight drizzle began.
The tiny raindrops fell heavily on the
dusty grounds around us. It was I
who first developed the idea of a
nature bath. Quickly I ran into a tent
and relieved myself of clinging,
fatigues, grabbed a bar of lifebuoy
soap and dashed out into Mother
Nature's gift to the unclean.
The warm rain felt good on my
scaly, mangy skin. I began to lather
myself with the soap.
By the time I had finished, several
other soldiers had gotten the same
idea. They started stripping by the
dozens. Just about the time fifty or
more lathered themselves from head
to toe, the rain stopped and the sun
came out.
I heard the thick, heavy voice of
my top sergeant bellow out, "Whose
suggestion was this? Buttoning up
my fatigue shirt. I peeped out the
door of the tent. The big sergeant
was standing with both fists clench-
en, and his shoulders were drawn up-
ward around his neck. With the ex-
ception of a figleaf, he resembled
one of the statures in the Smith-
sonian Institute.
I slipped quietly out the back door
of the tent and broke into a run for
the hills, where I spent the rest of
the day thinking about home.
Glass Menagerie
Reviewed As
Objective Drama
By BOB JOHNSON
Went to Durham Friday night to
see Tennessee's "Glass Menagerie"
with Anne Revere as the mother.
Miss Revere was up to her highest,
and her highest was good enough to
win the Academy Award. The other
characters, Laura, Tom, and the
Gentleman Caller, were portrayed
wonderfully by resident actors Gail
Cramer, Norris Borden, and Stevling-
son. Managing Director for the two-
year old company is Alvin Fox, and
eight performances are given weekly
in the Rialto Theatre on Main Street
near the center of Durham.
During intermission an art exhi-
bit was available and after the play
an informal gathering was held for
the audiences to meet the cast.
Opening the play Tom remarks
that a stage magician gives illusion
that looks like truth, but that he is
going to give truth in the pleasant
disguise of illusion. And, Mr. Wil-
liams has said that the object of the
new theatre is to give a close ap-
proach to truth. This play, "The
Glass Menagerie with the above
cast, gave forth naked truths for
inspection.
Most of the set was cut away, lea-
ving only the necessities of an apart-
ment with a fire escape exit. I am
sure Mr. Williams would have been
proud of the set design and execu-
tion. There was transparency and
liquidity, providing .easy access for
the actors and audience.
Yes, there was access and trans-
parency for the audience also. For,
the audience was an integral of the
play. I know, in Amanda, the mother,
I saw many mothers of our land. In
Laura, the sister, there was The Girl,
U. S. A. Tom, brothers, friends, and
self combined to become Tom. He
sought adventure, knowing it was not
to be captured, without realizing tha
he knew it. .
The Gentleman Caller, the Jong
delayed but always expected some-
thing to live for was just that-L-the
future, the hope, the dream. Perhaps,
for a time even Tom hoped for that
something. It came, but was not what
was hoped for.
I noticed one missed lino in all the
play. And, that one line detracted
from the whole great work about like
a dead flea would disturb a gaint.
The performance was three hours of
the best absorption rve ever seen.
All of the actors were superb
Laura, beautiful with her slight Hmp;
Tom, and his hunt, Amanda, accom-
panied by her Delta Gentlemen Cal-
lers.

Charles Haper's Iron Scouts soft-
ball? rs and the Bombers of Jay Al-
phin clashed in a doubleheader yes-
terday to determine the college in-
tramural softball championship.
When it was all over the Bombers
split with the Iron Scouts by scores
of 18 to 8 and 9 to 5. They lost the
former and won the latter contest,
in fielders Curtis West, Dave Lewis,
Bill Reynolds, O. B. Knowles and
Jerry West. Outfielders are Horace
Gil, Jim Bethune, Jim Gravely, and
Carl Henley. Jay Alphin is the pit-
cher while Glen Alphin catches.
Rain slowed the pace of intramu-
rals last Thursday as is did three
weeks ago and the rained out games
were to be made up Monday, Tues-
day and Wednesday of this week.
The teams went back at it on Mon-
day though and the Iron Scouts still
maintained their winning ways al-
though the Rinky Dinks knocked them
off by a 10 to 8 margin earlier last
week. This left the team of Charlie
Harper's with a 5-1 record with a
total of six games left to play dur-
ing this week. Two of these were
played on Monday and Umstead Hall
took it on the chin twice at the hands
of the title contendere.
This team of Adams, Harris, Ever-
ette, Curry, Hodge, Buckley, Jones,
Parker, Harper and Mohan proved to
be far too much for Gerrish's squad
as Umstead went down by a score of
19 to 4 in the seven inning affair.
It was not quite the same story in
the second game though, although
the Scouts still won, as they had to
come from behind to finally wrap up
a 10 to 8 ball game. Jess Curry
hurled the opening win while Maurice
Everette pitched in the final slug-
fest.
The Bombers met with luck in
their encounter with the Old Grads
on Monday. Two of the fint for-
feits of the softball program were
recorded on Monday as the Old Grads
team failed to show. The scores were
recorded as 7-0 and 5-0 in favor of
the Bombers. Thus Alphin's league
leading club had a record of 10-0 go-
ing into yesterday's game with the
Iron Scouts.
This group of intramural participants did not m anage to get their team in the top place when the final
standings were complete, but they did come in a strong third and displayed excellent sportsmanship. On the

(Editor's Note). This is the third
of a series of articles dealing with
former outstanding athletes of East
Carolina College who are now doing
graduate work here.
The road from Rocky Mount, N.
C to Greenville, N. C has led Robert
A. Patterson back and forth in the
pursuit of a Bachelor of Science De-
gree in Science many, many times.
Rocky Mount is Bob's home and he
is quick to let it be known that he
feels quite fortunate in having such
a n educational
insitution s o
close to his form-
er hometown.
At the present
time the auburn
haired youn
man has a very
respectable posi-
tion on the An-
drew Lewis High
School teaching
and coaching
staff. At Salem,
Virginia Bob
is the head track coach of the winter
indoor team and it was his squad
that won the state championship in
this sport. He is an assistant to the
regular spring track and field coach
as well as an assistant football
coach. In addition he teaches science
at Andrew Lewis. Thus the former
Pirate athlete has reaped quite a
few honors for himself in the span
of one year away from East Caro-
lina College.
Bob is more than the typical high
school athlete. He falls into the
category of the "star" high school
performer. He won letters in basket-
ball, football, baseball and track
while at Rocky Mount. He was all-
state in basketball, all-eastern in
football, captained the hardball nine
and established a number of track
records. If that was not enough,
he still found time to hold the of-
fice of vice-president of the Student
Government Association.
College did not slow down his
pace either. He came to East Caro-
lina in 1954. He played four years
of good football for EGG aader Coach
was elected as captain of the squad
his senior year.
Mr. Patterson found time to get
(Editor's note) This is the first in
a series of articles pertaining to out-
standing athletes of colleges other
than East Carolina who are now
doing graduate work here.
Have you ever wondered what it
would be like to climb into the ring
with the man who knocked down
heavyweight champion Floyd Patter-
son? What type of honor would you
consider it if you were selected on
the All Army Times Football Team
as one of 22 players from the Army
Football Teams stationed all over the
world? And finally, what type of
thrill would it give you to play pro-
fessional football for the Green Bay
Packers ?
A very modest graduate student
at East Carolina knows the answer
to each of these questions. He has
experienced them all and is quite re-
luctant when it comes to talking
about them though.
Dale Haupt, a 225 pounder from
the University of Wyoming, is act-
ually a native of Manitowoc, Wis-
consin. While in high school at Wis-
consin he played baseball, football
and boxed a great deal. It was in
high school that he developed into
such an excellent boxer that he cop-
ped the runner-up championship in
the district golden gloves matches in
the middle and lightweight divisions.
Before entering the" University of
Wyoming on a football scholarship,
Mr. Haupt played two years of rugg-
ed semi-pro football in the Wisconsin
State League.
At the University he was a guard
jnder Bowden Wyatt and Phil Dick-
ens Wyatt is now the head football
coach at Tennessee while Dickens is
Education and Industrial Arts. Haupt
had plans of rejoining the Packers
upon finishing college but as an
ROTC graduate, he was taken into
the Army as a Lieutenant. Haupt
wasted no time in getting back into
his favorite game. While at Fort
P.enning he played two years with the
Fort Benning Doughboys with such
ruggedness and alertness that he was
chosen as a member of the All Army
Times Football Team. Only 22 mem-
bers from all over the world were
chosen for this squad.
The star studded team played Boi-
ling Air Force Base only to lose to
the flyers by a score of 32 to 2.
"Passes killed us cites Haupt. He
makes reference to Notre Dame's
Ralph Gugliemi, Maryland's great
Harass Faloney and Southern Cali-
fornia's Al Barry. "Passing by Falo-
ney. and Gugliemi told the whoje
story that day as passes accounted
for every one of their touchdowns
stated Haupt.
It was at Benning that Coach
Haupt became a good friend of Pete
Radamacher. He explains, "Pete and
I were good friends at Fort Benning.
Since he didnt have anyone to spar
with one afternoon, he picked on me.
No one will ever convince me that
this fellow cannot throw a good solid
punch

New Girl's Team
By MARCELLE VOGEL
A new softball team has been
formed by a group of girls, mostly
music majors, living in Wilson dormi-
tory. This team was organised purely
for the enjoyment of playing to-
gether, say the girls, and they ap-
pear to be having a swell time.
Sherald Ward, a graduate physical
education major and sports reporter
is coaching the team. Any Co-ed who
would like to play softball is wel-
come on the team.
Bill Boyd, Student Director for In-
tramural Sports said, "This is the
first year that the SGA has appro-
priated funds for girls' intramural
sports. Women's Intramurals is se-
parate from the physical education
department, and the Women's Re-
creation Association "Lack of par-
ticipation and inadequate leadership
have kept this program from ad-
vancing stated Boyd. "We hope to
have many more girls in the intra-
mural sports progarm, as time goes
on he added.
Another girls' softball team com-
posed of P. E. majors is already in
operation. Norman Black is coaching
their team.
Sherald Ward
the head football mentor at the Uni- I Haupt was the assistant football
versity of Indiana. Haupt was cho-
sen for All-Conference honors in the
Skyline Conference while at Wyoming
and was captain of his college team
in 1953. He succumbed to the offers
of professional football in the final
months of his college work. After
spending two months on the exhibi-
tion trails with the Green Bay Pack-
ers he decided to return to college
involved in student affairs also as he
was treasurer of the SGA during his
junior and senior years. He held that
position last summer and is the
treasurer during our current summer
session. Just one of the many out-
standing accomplishments by the 23
year old bachelor was that of being
selected as a member of Who's Who
In American Colleges and Universi-
ties. No marriage plans are seen in
his future at the present either.
The Masters of Arts Degree in
Science and Physical Education is
Patterson's final goal at East Caro-
lina. He is looking forward to foot-
ball practice, this season, another
year of teaching and then coming
back to East Carolina Again next
summer.
Coach Patterson is the son of Mr.
and Mrs. W. M- Patterson of (Rocky
Mount.
coach at Casper High School in Caa
per, Wyoming last year. He and his
wife have one child, a son, 21 months
old.
Upon being asked about East Caro-
lina College in general and if he
intends to return here to resume
work on his M. A. in Physical Edu-
cation and Industrial Arts he said,
"I definitely intend to come back
next summer to resume work on my
Masters Degree. I believe that East
Carolina is a great schoSI and think
that we have excellent instruction
here

East Carolina College, in addition
to its regular program on the cam-
pus, is offering this summer a series
of off-campus courses taught at Wil-
mington, Cherry Point, Camp Le-
Jeune, and Chowan College in Mur-
freesboro. Enrollment in these courses
will by the end of the summer ses-
sion top the 500 mark, Dr. Ralph
Brimley, director of public relations

East Carolina's physical plant con-
tinues to grow by leaps and bounds
as college facilities will go beyond
10th Street this fall for the first'
time in the institution's history.
Jones Hall will officially open for
the first time next week with the
transfer of the students in Slay to
the towering new building.
The five floor structure will house
520 students in addition to feeding
them in a new cafeteria located in
the basement.
(Actually, the fall quarter will see
a unique arrangement of students.
The first floor will house upper class-
men while the second, third and
fourth floors will afford the com-
forts of home for freshmen students.
Although a few freshmen will live
on the 5th floor of Jones Hall, East
Carolina's football team will occupy
a great portion of the top level. The-
ta Chi, one of EC's outstanding
fraternities, will also be roomed on
the fifth floor.
Mr. Melvin Buck, Director of Hous-
ing for the college, stated that there
are no vacancies in the new dormi-
tory, that all rooms are assigned and
that even two hall managers for
each floor have already been selected.
The hall managers are upper class-
men of course.
One of the lingering problems that
has always been bothersome to East
Carolina officials since the end of
World War II has been the parking
ituation. "This will be somewhat
alleviated explained Mr. Buck, "due
to the fact that students will be re-
quired to park their cars only at
puking spaces provided for them
around the Jones Hall area. Another
interesting fact concerning the new
dormitory is that there is possibili-
ty of two phones each being in-
tailed on each dormitory floor. Mr.
Buck expressed regret that there
are no personal lavatories in each
room but the fact that these installa-
tions would have cost the taxpayers
thousands and thousands of more
dollars is one excellent reason this
onvenience is not present. There are
ample lavatories in the shower rooms.
Concerning the overall movement
of students to the new dorm, Mr.
Buck stated, "It is certainly hoped
that students moving in will appre-
ciate the fact that it is a new dormi-
tory and they should treat it as
a home away from home. We feel
that many mothers and fathers will
be consoled by knowing that nearly
all their young men and women are
going to live on campus this fall
whereas in the past a great many of
them have had to live off campus due
to inadequate living facilities
Dr. James H. Tucker, Director of
Student Affairs, summed up the
opening of the gigantic structure very
simply. He said, "this means that
we will not have to put so many of
our men and women students all
over town
Upper classmen will live in Um-
stead Dormitory this fall. Slay will
be turned over to the women students
beginning fall quarter. Some people
have expressed concern over this
situation with men and women stu-
dents living across from each other
but Miss Ruth White, the Dean of
Women, is quick to recall a very im-
portant fact. She said, "A few years
ago we had men and women students
living in Wilson Hall with a parti-
tion separating their quarters. This
worked out very nicely with no in-
cidents. I believe students at East
Carolina ai well mannered and well
disciplined. Because of this we will
expect good conduct from both of
them. This is not a unique situation
a row- situation. We have ex-
perienced conditions similar to this
in the past and have never had any

same size as last year's book, will
have plenty of pictures and at least

There is plenty of work still to be
done including designing a cover

cepting ideas along this line from
any student, and we will accept any
suggestions at any time

ious department sections concerning
campus life and activities.
