named "Miss Congeniality" in the
Miss North Carolina Pageant recent-
ly. Dottie, a senior at ECC, was also
named "Miss Congeniality" in the
"Miss Wilmington" Pageant. This is
the first time in the history of the
pageant that both awards have been
given to the same girl. Previously,
the winning of the "Miss Congenality"
award was not in the top three. A
new pageant ruling this year changed
it.
Dottie said about being "Miss Con-

Dottie's talent in the "Miss Wil-

to the song, "I Enjoy Being A Girl"
from FLOWER DRUM SONG. She

she added "Mary Ann was there the

natural and likeable persons I have
ever met.
"The most thrilling time for me
came Saturday night when I was an-
nounced as the winner of the "Miss
Congeniality award. It is one of the
top honors of the pageant. Along
with the title I receive a trophy and
$.500 scholarship. I also receive a
$'200 scholarship for winning the Wil-
mington pageant.
Dottie plans to return to ECC this
fall and hopes to graduate next
spring with a major in Home Econo-
mics. While at ECC she has been a
class officer, cheerleader, marshal,
C. U. board member, "Y" cabinet
member, a member of the Westmins-

nomic Club. She has also represented
the College Union in Homecoming one
year. She is a member of the Pi Kap-
pa sorority. This year she will be
loading the cheering squad.
"I'm extremely happy that I en-

people; and have such a grand time

Progress highlighted the events at
Campus Radio Station WWWS dur-
ing the summer sessions this year.
Money totaling over $500 was appro-
priated by the Summer School Stu-
dent Government Association for the
purpose of improving and expanding
Campus Radio's present broadcast
equipment, and enlarging the record
libraries of 45's and L-P's.
The College Union Dance Party,
which was initiated last spring by
station manager, Jim Kirkland, and
assisted by J. Wayne Johnson during
the Spring Quarter and Rudd L. Jen-
sen and E. T. Rogers during the
Summer sessions, has been a source
of Friday night entertainment this
summer, as it is the only event which
has been regularly scheduled by the
Student Government Association,
working with the staff. Part of the
money appropriated by the SGA went
for the repair of the remote broad-
cast equipment used in presenting
this program from the patio of the
college union each Friday night.
Sponsored time sometimes known
as commercial time, was instituted
on a regular basis this summer by
Frank Grayiel, Business Manager of
the Compus Radio Station. Money ta-
ken in from advertising is used for
the improvement of the station's fa-
cilities, as well as enlarging the pre-
music library. Much of the "sold"
time was done on a "swap" basis
with the local merchants in which the
merchants gave campus radio ma-
terials in return for campus radio's
advertising service.
Along with the innovation of spon-
sored time, Campus Radio then began
operating on Sunday evenings for a
short while, and now has increased
Sunday time to three hours of broad-
casting.
Special events, headed by Rudd Jen-
sen, was another major item on Cam-
pus Radio this summer. The pro-
grams of interest with Dr. Messick
and Dr. Jenkins were continued, and
a special week of programs with
Dean White were added. When the
High School Science Institute arrived
for three weeks, Jensen was there to
greet them with a tape recorder.
Plans now for interviews with the
Summer Music Campers are complete
and this week will mark the close of
these interviews. Newsworthy items
such as interviews with Doug Clark
and his combo and interviews with
the members of the Dave Burbeck
Quartet also highlighted the work of
the special events department.
Campus Radio was fortunate in re-
ceiving a lend-lease gift of a Gates
Sound Truck, for use during the next
school year. This equipment will be

the College Union when his owner let
him out of the station wagon.
Johnny Hudson, who was president
of the SGA, and Clint LeGette, who
headed the committee to acquire a
mascot, and a host of other students
were on hand to shake the great
(lane's paw.
The first thing the boys did was
take him out to Dora's and buy him
a beer. Buc lapped it up and we all
cheered.
At the time Buc was only four
months old and he weighed only 50
pounds. He was shy and his feet
were wobby and he was afraid to
walk up the steps leading from the
college union to the SGA office.
He spent his first night here in
Slay Hall much to the delight of the
other students who showered Buc with
too much attention. He spent a lot of
nights in Johnny Hudson's room.
Buc was well-loved from the very
first. He could be seen taking walks
with his many trainers. The first
trainer was Hugh Giles, who gave
Buc his first walks, started his diet,
and took care of him at the first
football game.
Buc had a difficult time getting
used to football. First attempts to
teach him to run out with the team
were unsuccessful. And when the
crowd cheered Buc dived for safety
under the grandstand.
Buc loved the cheerleaders. They
petted him and fed him peanuts. Once
he had his picture taken with Betty
Lane Evans, who was then Miss
North Carolina.
Buc's house was constructed shortly
before his arrival; his pen shortly
after. From all appearances, the mas-
cot has outgrown his living quarters.
His present trainer, Ronnie Knouse,
says that Buc now weighs 135 pounds,
and when he stands up he measures
6 feet 8 inches.
The big great dane eats six cans
of dog food a day, 2 pounds of dry
meal, and drinks two pails of water.
Ronnie says, "Buc walks me at least
a mile a day. He goes further than
that
When Buc first arrived, he couldnt
be trusted off the leash. One of his
trainers, Bob Connelly taught him to
go on the loose.
Once some of the students became
concerned over Buc during the big
snowfall last winter. Howard Black
received several phone calls from
students urging him to take him
indoors.
But Buc was right at home in the
snow, moreso in fact, than in the
present humid weather.
Buc has always been a souTce of
pleasure to the students. He has
been known to take an ice cream cone
right out of a coed's hand, and to
knock a grown man down when play-
fully jumping up on him.
Buc is a year and four months
old, happy and content, still playful
as a puppy. He is the first mascot
and a great credit to the school.
used to feed programs to WWWS
FM, the educational section of Cam-
pus Radio.
"So far as plans for next year go,
attempts to merge with the college
Radio Corp to handle national ad-
vertisments are being made. It is
hoped that the College Radio Corp
will be able to furnish the school with
a news machine, so that the students
operated radio station will be able
to keep the students up to date on
all of the latest world events. ORC
is also attempting to bargain with
national advertisers to sponsor away
football games, that will be played
by the Pirates during the 59-60 foot-
ball season.
Present Station Manager Jim Kirk-
land, is making arrangements with
SGA for paid positions on the staff
of the radio station next year, and
hopes that Rudd Jensen, who will
act as Station Manager for the first
of the coming school year, will fol-
low through on these plans. Kirk-
land is leaving the Radio Station
September 8, to assume a new posi-
tion opened by the Publications Board
as Photograhy Editor of the BUC-
CANEER, college annual.
Kirkland stated that he has hopes
that the completion of the installa-
tion of Jones Hall for reception will
be complete by the first of the 1959-
60 school year. "It's been a lot of
fun working with the staff of this
very industrious group. Without a
doubt, Campus Radio will become one
of the more outstanding service or-
ganization on the Campus of East
Carolina Kirkland stated.

An Educational Bargain
We Americans are often criticized for
not appreciating all that we have. This accu-
sation is true, of course, human nature being
such as it is, but it has made the United
States one of the most hated countries in the
world.
Human nature or not, there is no ex-
cuse for ingratitude.
Take, for example, East Carolina Col-
lege. It is a small school, insignificant against
the multitude of other colleges and univer-
sities, but important, nonetheless, to a small
group of students in eastern North Carolina.
ECC offers an educational bargain. The
people who go there have no money to waste
on expensive schooling. They are here to get
an education and get it fast before the money
runs out or the tobacco crop fails. Yet there
are some who would criticize this school.
Once in a while there is a misfit, some
guy who wants the advantages of a larger
school without paying for it. He tries to re-
form. He tries to set up political parties in
the SOA. to think up ways to entertain the
students to keep them on campus on the
weekends, to make ECC a "big time" school.
It won't work. It will not work until a
completely different class of students inha-
bits East Carolina College. The students here
are intersted in getting an education and
little else. They go home every weekend main-
lv because they must. There is the farm, the
family business, or another job. To stay in
school they have to go home.
Therefore, because there is nothing any-
one can do about existing conditions at ECC,
be grateful for what there is and stop grip-
ing.
Is Bobbie 0. K.?
The question has been raised: is Bobbie
Kennedy qualified to be President of the
SGA? A'J
The answer is unquestionably, yes.
Although the constitution states that a
student must be at least a third quarter jun-
ior to run for president, we must remind the
frustrated office seekers and constitutional
hair-splitters that Miss Kennedy did not run
for president, but for vice president, an of-
fice which does not carry that particular
qualification.
Also the constitution plainly states that
the vice president succeeds the president in
case of his withdrawal.
Miss Kennedy is not only legally quali-
fied to be president, but she is far more able
than any of the recent "they also rans" who
are now raising the fuss. What's more she's
a lot better looking than any of them.
What Miss Kennedy plans to do or will as
president remains to be seen, but we feel
that most of the student body will enjoy
watching her do it, rather than listening to
weary old political harangue of the dissap-
pointed office-seekers.

Editorially Speaking
Summer Camp Is
Subtle Ad For
East Carolina
By JEAN ANN WATERS
East Carolina College's biggest ad-
vertising project will end its second
and last week Sunday with a big bang
and a concert. The annual Music
Camp attracts several hundred high
school students per year and the num-
ber increases steadily.
These students, who in general
have not made up their minds about
which college they will attend or
even thought about it, for that mat-
ter, are silently brainwashed during
their stay here. The very sublety of
the campaign is its strongest factor.
The main advantage is that most
of them have never seen a college
before, so East Carolina has the jump
on other institutions in the state.
Next, most of them come from small
town or county schools. They see our
larjye, new library, our air-conditioned
band and choral rooms, and our mo-
dern classrooms. They get a taste of
the freedom of college life. Oh yes,
don't kid yourself. You have a darn
sight more freedom now that you did
in high school.
This place looks mighty good to
them. This college is big enough to be
important, but small enough to main-
tain the small town atmosphere. They
like it here, and they remember that
they liked it when the time comes to
thoose a college.
The older campers, judging the
school by the Music Department, look
for competance in instructors, ade-
quacy of facilities, and departmental
standards. They have a chance to
work with the various teachers, see
if they like them, see how much they
learn under them. The instructors
must be on their toes for they can
influence the campers for or against
ECC.
Meanwhile, the teachers are survey-
ing the current crop of campers for
potential talent, which they hope to
lure into the ECC Music Department,
eventually.
The summer music camp is de-
finitely a valuable program to East
Carolina and it will benefit the col-
lege in many ways.
Being loyal members of the ECC
student body, we up here in the EAST
CAROLINIAN office will grit our
teeth; try to ignore the trumpets on
one side of us, the clarinets on the
other, and the band below; and think
of what this din is doing for dear
old EC in the way of free publicity,
and not what it is doing to our poor
shattered minds.
Which brings to mind a sign on
our wall which reads, "Just because
we think you think we don't know
what we're doing, don't think we
don't think we don't either
We hear that Aladar Ecsedy, the
sad-eyed Hungarian pianist who gave
a concert here last Wednesday night,
had reason to be gloomy. After pa-
tiently listening to his performance
of 12 variations on "Twinkle, Twinkle
Little Star the greater part of his
audience left. The remaining few
must have been children or asleep.
The arboretum is finally bowing
to progress. It is said that a wing
is being built onto the new classroom
building on the frontier of the aT-
boreturn and soon the road from
Jones Dormitory will be extended
across it. The football field, I sup-
pose, will be the last to go.
The international political scene
isn't as peaceful as that of the col-
lege. Although our Student Govern-
ment Association has done little more
than appropriate money, one. person
seems to be getting things done.
Throe cheers for the biggest sur-
prise of the yean(Richard Nixon.
He and Krushchev really had it out
and strangely enough each claims
that he wasn't offended by the out-
burst. Nixon with one eye on the
presidential nomination seems to
have accomplished more in a few
days than the Geneva Conference
did in weeks.
Herter, too, seems to be doing an
excellent job of not taking any fool-
ishness from the Russian delegates.
Let's hope he can prevent them
from making fools of us again.
Since this is the final paper of the
summer, I would like to take thia op-
portunity to thank my poor, over-
worked staff who have been under
terrific strain and pressure fc; ix
hectic weeks. This handful of students
has worked long hours, each drift"
much more than his ehare. To one
and all a sincere "Thank you.M

This makes my 32nd column for
the EAST CAROLINIAN. I've writ-
ten twice that many features, a
couple of dozen editorials, and well
over a huundred news stories.
I've written out and I'm ready to
go. As the song says, "I've been
hanging around this old town too
long
I've worked for five different edi-
tors, four of them women, whom I've
never gotten along with. I've seen
seven SGA presidents come and go.
My favorite editor was Jimmy Fer-
rell. Bald-headed at twenty-two, he
worried constantly, refused to agree
with me on everything from how to
write a column to what constituted
good drama.
He knew how to run a newspaper.
He was a journalistic dictator. His
word was law and you did what he
said or took a powder. A mild-man-
nered person, he ruled the EAST
CAROLINIAN with an iron fist.
He was an avid supporter of Ed-
die Dennis when he ran for president
against Jimmy Phelps. He told the
staff we would vote for Dennis or
else. We all went out and voted for
Phelps, but never told him.
Ferrell put out the best BAST
CAROLINIAN in the school's history.
He knew how to write and he knew
how to teach others to write. I learn-
ed everything I ever knew about
uewspaper from Jimmy Ferrel. I
only hope I've been a credit to him.
Oliver Williams was on that staff,
too. Oliver is Sunday editor of the
Rocky Mount Telegram now. If he
continues in journalism, he will be a ,
great success.
Those were the good old days,
when the college was a happy place,
the pre-old-yellow days.
My favorite SGA president was
Johnny Hudson. He was President
last summer. He did more for the
school in one summer than all the
other six that I've Been did in three
and half years.
Johnny was a real screwball. He
was the last guy on earth that you
would think was an executive. Every-
thing he did, he did with color and
humor. I learned a lot about politics
from Johnny, and a lot about living
too.
Johnny was a rare diplomat. He
knew how to get the administration
to go along with him. He never got
Dean White to say yes on Bermuda
shorts and he never got Raleigh's
Mayor Enloe to give East Carolina
students a discount at Pitt theatre.
But he got the school a wonderful
mascot and achieved a brilliant re-
cord in student government, and had
a lot fun doing it. ,
My favorite actor and actress were
Bubba Driver and Alice Ann Home.
Bubba Driver was a great performer,
offstage as well as on.
If you ever had a party, you would
ant to invite Bubba. He would whip
ouv the uke or the bongo drums and
jnd more Uke Harry Belafonte than
Harry Belafonte did. He was a na-
tural wit, always laughing and smil-
ing and acting. I never heard an un-
kind word said about Bubba.
Alice Ann Home was simply the
greatest I wrote a feature on her
when I waa a sophomore and it was
the best I ever wrote. Her everyday
conversation waa as lyrical as the
By BRYAN HARRISON
best of modern poetry.
Alice Ann played many roles, but
there was no sham about her. She
was a natural born actress who kept
you laughing every minute you were
with her, and to talk with her five
minutes put you in a good mood for
the rest of the day.
After this summer they will all
be gone. They were great kids. All
of them made a real and solid con-
tribution to this school. They put
everything they had into it and they
got everything there was to get out
of it. They will all go far, and East
Carolina is a better place for their
having been here.
There are a few more who have
left their mark. One of the biggest
was the one made by Billy Arnold,
who left last winter and got drafted.
Billy was one of those rare human
beings who only come along once in
a great while. He wrote twice as
many columns for the EAST CARO-
LINIAN as I did, and drew a car-
toon almost every week for four
years. Many people picked up the
EAST CAROLINIAN just to see one
of his cartoons.
Billy could draw a cartoon, with
that peculiar Arnoldian flavor with
exhuberant characters, subtle wit, and
gentle satire, in four minutes. I have
never seen better cartoons in any
college newspaper.
Billy was always writing. He wrote
short stories between classes, never
satisfied with any of them. He would
start novels and give them up. He
could write a clever poem off the top
of his head.
He was one of the best-natured
people you could ever meet. A smile
in his eyes, quiet-spoken, sloppily
dressed, he said he was a member
of the dirty shirt school of writers.
Billy was sports editor of the
DAILY REFLECTOR, and later re-
porter, the whole time he was in col-
lege. Over here he always held down
some editorial job on the EAST
CAROLINIAN and he was co-editor
of THE REBEL and one of its found-
ers.
Billy had a strange spirit. He al-
ways reminded me of Ben in Look
Homeward, Angel, a book which he
dearly loved. When he left, he took
a lot of East Carolina with him.
My favorite campus character is
Harold Leary. A good-natured, but
sometimes hot-headed Irishman, he
is undoubtedly one of the funniest
people I've ever met, and one of the
best at heart.
Harold has been here as long aa I
have and will be here after I'm gone.
You can see him in the soda shop,
probably in Bermudas, joking with
every good looking babe that cornea
along.
His conversation is usually mixed
with a little German, which he
learned in "Krautland a little
"ECTC" slang, which he lets fly with
s slight stutter.
Since I've been in college I've had
13 roommates. I cant even remem-
ber some of their namea. I gueaa my
favorite one is the one I've roomed
with longest. His name is Bobby
Wells,
Wells is a great practical joker.
He puta shaving lather in my tooth-
paste, and honey in my roll-on d
oderant. Once I had a date with a
girl, and he set every clock in the
house up, and I arrived two hours
early thinking I was twenty minutes
late.
I guess over a hundred different
soda shop girls have served me cof-
fee in the mornings. There is only
one who has been working back there
as long as I've been here and I don't
know her name.
Considering everything, I guess my
favorite soda shop girl was Johnise
Hardesty, who always smiled at me
and everybody else even when the
mob got thickest.
Then there was that mad wild,
happy crowdthe rebels. A grand-
spirited crew, they knew how to
work hard and play hard. You could
see them in the "little box" that was
the iRebel office, seated on desks and
chairs and tables getting the maga-
zine out, or you could see them in
the Varsity, getting pleasantly in
shape for the next issue, or over at
Mr. Pierce's place, getting educated:
Dave Lane, Nancy Davis, Billy
Arnold, Hugh Agee, Judy Bishop, Bob
Harper, Nancy Lilly, Marty Kellam,
Pat Smith, Tom Mims, Nelson Dud-
ley, Mary Marshbourne, Woody Davis,
Annette Willoughby, Betty Vic Gas-
kins, John Filicky, Robert L. Harper,
Sandra Mills, Rachel Steinbeck, John
Butler, Mary Margaret Kelly, and
Joe Swartz.
Then the campus politicians must
be mentioned. Mike Katsias, Jimmy
Phelps, Bobby Hall (an old antago-
nist, who goes, but somehow always
pops back up), Bulldog Dyson, and
Eddie Dennis. Most of them are gone
now, too.
My favorite campus politician was
Stan Harper. A man who usually
stayed in the background and con-
trolled voters like a puppeteer, Stan
was the brain trust behind the re-
cent Dallas Wells campaign. Every
technique, every gimmick, every
method known to college elections,
Stan explored.
Last spring's presidential battle
was the most colorful event to hit
the campus in many a year. A burro
pulled a cart full of Dallas Wells
and pretty girls over the campus, a
new Cadillac and an A model Ford,
hanging effigies, a flood of propa-
ganda testified to his political genius,
and every girl he could reach wore
a flower on her blouse.
He was only interested in results,
and both his co-workers and his op-
ponents knew the meaning of hard
work as a result of his shrewd plan-
ning.
I'm ready to go. I've seen enough
now. And most of these people have
heard everything I've got to say.
I went in the new classroom build-
ing the other day, and it felt cold
and strange and too scientific I have
a fondness for warm old Austin with
its crazy corridors and familiar worn
stairways. The halls echo the names
of many forgotten faces and absorbs
the lost voices of all the successes
and failure of fifty years of growing
and learning.
I'm ready to go. All that I have
known here is passing on and I've
exhausted what this great place can
do or me and I have worn out all my
words singing its praises.
THURSDAY, JULY SO, 19w
James B. Mailory
The EAST CAROLINIAN feels that th
college made a wise choice, one which wi
prove popular, when they appointed Jam
B. Mailory Dean of Men.
The friendly, well-liked baseball coac
h3s been here six years. He is well-known
and respected by the men students on cam-
pus. It is a fine thing when the college does
not have to look for people off the campus to
fill administrative vacancies when they can
be filled by capable members of our own tea-
ching staff.
Already Coach Mailory has approached
his new job in the best collegiate spirit when
he stated that he was not going to wait for
the students to come to him with probh-
but will try his best to approach the studentd
as a friend, so that they will feel free to come
to him whenever they need him.
He will have the toughest of tough job
It will require tact, courage, and intelligence.
Here is a "hats off to" Jim Mailoryand
good luck!
A Low-Water Mark
East Carolina has reached the lcw-wa
mark in school spirit. Out of well over a doz-
en organizations on campus who could nomi-
nate some co-ed to run for summer school
queen, four have chosen to do so.
Although we feel that any one of tkese
four could carry the honor with grace, we
believe that there are many more girls on
campus who could successfully enter the com-
petition. '
We hope this is not an indication of stu-
dent enthusiasm over the summer school
dance. If so, there will probably be too few
people there to hold the dance.
When students on this campus feel like
supporting a dance, they can do it in grand
fashion. We hope that many turn out at the
dance and see the queen crowned.
The Luckless Legion
More than 2,800,000 Americans were
drafted into the Luckless Legion of automo-
bile casualties in 1958.
In its annual highway safety booklet en-
titled "The Luckless Legion The Travelers
Insurance Companies pointed out. "This is an
army of suffering humanity which grows
more rapidly each year. It is made up of the
injured and the dead, the heedless and the
innocent, the young and the old. Since the
automobile first appeared on the American
scene, these ranks of the crippled and the
dead have included more than 60,000,000 or
us
The Luckless Legion is a silent, haunted
army. We erect no monuments to it. No grim
reminders mar the sleek beauty of the roads
and highways which are its field of battle.
A newspaper headlines, perhaps, marks the
induction of the latest recruit. Then silence.
Silent suffering. A lifetime of pain. Or the
silent memories of those who mourn when the
dead are laid to rest.
There were 36,700 men, women and child-
ren numbered among the dead of the Luck-
less Legion during the past year. For every
fatality there were 77 people who suffered
painful injuries. Hour by hour and day by
day, this total climbed until it reached the
staggering total of 2,825,000.
Injuries during the past yea rose 12 per
centtwice the rate of increase for the pre-
vious year. In the rising curve of injuries lies
the greatest waste of property and human
resources in our nation. Behind the lines of
our efforts toward national progress, the
Luckless Legion stands as a vast fifth column.
Statistics, pledges and slogans do not
seem to change us. Something more is needed.
During 1959, the Luckless Legion will be
meeting in our communityon a stretch of
highway, in a hospital room, in the morgue.
You alone will know when the meeting
time is near. In the temptation to bear down
a little harder on the gas, to beat the dark-
ness home, to test yoor reflexes when they
are dulled by sleep or alcohol, to jay-walk on
crowded streets, to forget caution when wea-
ther and road conditions are bad. During
1959, every time you are behind the wheel of
a car, remember that the Luckless Legion is
looking for recruits. Don't be one.
Adieu
It has already been a long hot summer.
The "Hot Nuts" have come and gone.
Dave Brubeck was here again. Campus poli-
ticians were lazy. (We'll blame it on the
heat.) Too much was said of Earl Long.
But next fall, the fireworks will start
again. The EAST CAROLINIAN will have
some news to print and their reporters can
dig facts and quit writing fiction.

At ro along through life with its many joys and sorrows do
what life is all about? Is it just another game in whkh

vita tho type of game you are playing? Sooner or later we
airwat these great questions for time is fleeting and the
time are slipping down slowly but surely. From our midst this
ed a man who had everything to live for and yet the end
tec him.
Whei M look back over our past life are we satisfied with what
are we sorry for the things that we have left undone. Surely
r n la consider that life is short here on earth and we
use of every available minute of it. Such to me was the life
whom w? mentioned earlier, none other than the former
vanity of North Carolina. Jim Tatum. This name is known
as one who has played the game of life to the finish but
Iriag forward to many years of life. With a look to the future
i i for 1955 there was probably the desire to have a winning
I aJBM mater. But his life came to an end here on earth and
the matter of the final analysis, was the Great Athletic Di-

an we are, whether He be the Big Coach or the Man Upstairs

advantage of it as The Captain would have us take every

I when things look dark, and then that ray of sunshine comes
aad then comes joy. Surely this was true in Coach Tatum s life
I true in all lives. There must have been times when Jim must
ugfet about this idea of living and dying. With confidence he must
M fea fight on because he was associated with a game that is

any Jim has been through as a player as well as a coach.
Then comes the question of whether or not we have given the game

year some of us made resolutions which we decided that needed
gad in our lives, and I hope that all of us kept them. In con-
af the law of average, there must be a few of us did not do
that we decided. Then comes the thousand and one reasons for not
I what we were going to do. So let us have a new purpose in mind
rk for the time when we will be called before the Great Athletic
- just as Jim Tatum has done.
Society of Buccaneers
w many of us would like to see East Carolina College have a
r athletic program? Now that all of you have voiced your opinion
u work together for the good of the teams. There is an organization
i h has been formed which is dedicated to that puropse which is for
imai and other interested parties who want to see East Carolina grow.
Dr. Leo Jenkins has stated that over 300 letters have been sent out
vh should inform many of this great way of helping out. The next
eeting will be on Homecoming Day after the Game so that all who are
n ted can attend and give their opinions.
The purpose of this organization is to join the man and the college
at together in fellowship. There are no officers but each year one is
- ected as the Chief Buccaneer.
In case you are sincerely interested in helping you can gain more
formation by seeing Dr. Jenkins. There are no dues and the only require-
et is that you have a sincere desire to help.

gue the Diamond Bandits managed of 1M 22.3. So Walker t 3
by Kelly Kee, took on Sherald Ward's '
Virginians and each team came out
with one loss and one win. The

football for they were, 21-17, 15-11.
The Scoffers, managed by John
Phillips, split with the Has Beens,
managed by Don Harris and Charlie
Adams. The scores were 6-2, 9-8. The

Billy Widgeon Former Captain
At AC Works Toward M. A.
By SHERALD WARD
(Editor's Note: This is the third
in a series of articles pertaining to
at! letes of colleges other than East
Carolina who are now doinjr graduate
work here.)
William B. Widgeon is one that
along with his love and admiration
for East Carolina still holds dear to
his memory the days at his other
alma mater. For it was there in his
ndergraduate days that the early
processes of learning came about.
When one has two schools which
have helped him along the way there
is always the threat that one might
give him more to give in life than the
other. However, in the case at point,
each school has ptayed an important
part in the total job.
Hailing from Newport, North Caro-
lina where he attended high school
and elementary schools, William was
a valuable asset to his community.
While in Newport High School he
played baseball and basketball, being
elected Captain of the basketball
team his Junior year.
After enrolling at Atlantic Chris-
tian College in Wilson, North Caro-
lina Mr. Widgeon made quite a name
for himself on the hardwoods as well
as on the diamond. In his sophomore
year he was voted the most valuable
player in the tournament. Then in
liis Junior year the honor of being
elected Captain came his way.
Receiving his B. A. Degree from
this college, Coach Widgeon took the
coaching duties at Bailey, North Caro-
lina where his girls' basketball team
went undefeated. His boys basketball
team did not do quite as well but his
baseball team had some good teams
losing by low scores.
Our man of the hour has a helping
hand for during his college days he
courted and married the former Miss
Sylvia Allsbrook who holds a B. A.
Decree and teaches the second grade
in Bailey.
This summer while working on his
M. A. he finds time to be a member
of the Has Beens in the Intramural
Softball League.
Campus Confucius Tells Of
Oriental Confusion
By NAM Y. PARK
Confucius was by no means non- authority. He taught that life must
theistic, but he was a rationalist who I he vigorous and positive, carried on
favored a practical conservatism. Un- j with balance and moderation, and the
. . , , avoidance of all extremes.
der his code the dayls duties and the , iji. rtj ; jj

Many people have heard about bull-
fighting but they have very little
knowledge concerning this important
sport in Mexico. The average Ameri-
can has the idea that bullfighting is
a gruesome sport which should not
e allowed. In case you had a chance
to see a bullfight there is the possi-
bility that you would not enjoy it as
there is a large percentage of
Americans who see bullfighting but
do not enjoy this sport which is so
every day to the Mexican people. But
this stems from the lack of knowl-
edge of this entertainment which so
fascinates the Mexican people and
continues to be their number one
form of entertainment.
Even as a little boy there is inbred
the desire to become the famous Ma-
tador just as every young Ameri-
can boy has a desire to be like his
favorite athlete. The young Mexican
boy starts out early to work toward
that end. Many boys around the age
of eight or ten can be seen playing
bullfight with every car which passes
by in the streets of any town in
Mexico.
All the while he is thinking of the
day when he will enter the arena
and face the bull. Hearing the cheer-
ing crowds as they wave to him from
the stands is normal and average for
the little Mexican of the street.
Dreaming of the day when a fair
young damsel will toss him a rose
when he has beaten the bull.
Crowds throng to the bullfights and
the young ones are there to cheer
their favorite as he meets up with
El Toro. Questions are fired by the
young ones as they try to find out
some more information which will
help them along the way. Many carry
the swords of the Matador and do
what ever he wishes.
Holding high the desire to be a
Matador tends to leave some as they
reach a more mature age just as we
have seen our desire to become a
professional football player as just
one of pipe dreams fade away. But
there are many who continue and
work for the most part as extras at
the rings around the country waiting
for the day when they can get a big
break. This comes in the form of a
chance to fight in a small town where
the bulls are small and the people
aren't as avid fans as they are in the
large cities.
Each Matador has his own style
of fighting and then it comes his
turn to fight where the crowds are
large and the young senoritas are
beautiful. Working hard and doing
his best pays off for the young man
in many ways as well as the glory
he receives in the ring.
Later as he has reached that pin-
acle of success and to the cheers of
120,000 people he enters the ring of
Mexico City for now his boyhood
dreams have come true. As he fights
the bull the cheers get louder for
now is drawing near the time when
he finishes the bull and the battle is
won, not only in the ring, but a
battle of life has been won for the
life long ambition has been obtained,
that of fighting the bull in the great
ring at Mexico City.

nature. It was the basis of education
of the noble class and a subject for
examination. On the other hand,
Buddhism is a tolerant belief, and the
previously prevailing Shamanism and
the native Deism had a good deal of
influence on Buddhism practices. At
the present time, Buddhism occupies
an important position'not so much
through numerical strength as
through the influence it exerts over
important members of community.

Sonny Walker b
A Credit To His
Alma Mater
By SHERALD WARD
(Editor's Note: This is the fifth
of series of articles dealing with
former outstanding athletes of East
Carolina College who are now doing
graduate work.)
Has it been your pleasure to know
a personable young man here at East
Carolina in the past few years who
prefers to be called "Sonny"? If so it
i likely that that young man is none
other than Wilmer D. "Sonny" Wal-
ker, who has the delightful ability
to get along with lots of people.
Claiming Plymouth, North Carolina
as his home and attending high school
started this young man on his way
in life. Before he graduated in 1958
from high school he found time to
play football, basketball and baseball.
Then he entered East Carolina Col-
lege where he was very active in the
intramural leagues having a team
of his own known as the "Bootleg-
gers Most of this team were boys
from Plymouth and that area and
they had teams in all the intramural
sports. This team won one of the

Regular East Carolihian Staff Works At
Various Jobs During The Summer Months
By MARY JANE SMITH
What do journalists do in the sum-
mer? Let's take a look at the regu-
lar term EAST CAROLINIAN staff.
Editor Kathryn Johnson is assis-
tant head counselor at a swank sum-
mer camp in the Adirondacks in New
York State. She has met many in-
teresting people, she says. One of
them was the granddaughter of for-
mer Cuban President Batista.
"Anything can happen at Moss
Lake she sighed. One day, accord-
ing to Kathryn, a counselor was pre-
paring to give a demonstration on
how to make a fast getaway in a
canoe. He jumped into the craft and
began paddling madly, but his pro-
gress was abruptly arrested when

through the bottom of the canoe,
forgot to allow for a slight breeze
which rippled the lake, and after
lecturing for some minutes at the
top of the tower, he leaped without
looking and ended up waist deep in

taken up boating as a hobby. The
club owns two motor boats and a
von teen foot sailboat, which some

vering with fiberglass. This will
make the boat fireproof, waterproof,
and shockproof. In this boat, 3 or 4
members of the club are planning to

By MARCELLE VOGEL
Aladar Ecsedy, a young Hungar-
ian pianist, recently presented a pro-
gram of classics for the Summer
School students. Ecsedy performed
a very acceptable concert, and re-
vealed a dynamic, as well as a facile,
te hnique. He was in complete control
of his fingers throughout the con-
cert. His interpretations, especially
of the children's numbers, were in-
dividual, but most explanatory. In
spite of the extreme heat and his
woolen evening clothes, he was gra-
cious in the reception of the appro-
val of the audience.
Ecsedy was born in Hungary, where
he spent his childhood. His father,
a Presbyterian minister and a vio-
linist, started Ecsedy playing the
piano at the age of six. Ecsedy, how-
ever, hated to practice, but his fa-
ther kept him at it. Finally, when
he was about 16, Ecsedy really be-
came interested in the piano. Then
it was hard to tear him away from
practicing.
Ecsedy met his lovely wife during
a concert tour of Canada. They now
have two small daughters who usual-
'y travel with him on tour.
Ecsedy attended the University of
Budapest, and then received a schol-
arship to study in Finland. He was
awarded the Jean Sibelius ring there.
He has presented concerts in
Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Switzer-
land, Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany,
Italy and Hungary, as well as ap-
pearing in 48 of the States, and the
major cities of Canada.
His advice to young pianists, is,
"It is not the amount of practice
you do, but how you go about it. If
you are not interested in playing,
no amount of practice will make you
a good musician
CU Contributes
Much Enjoyment
To SS Students
By MARCELLE VOGEL
The College Union has done much
this summer to add to the entertain-
ment and enjoyment of the Summer
School students.
The numerous watermelon cuttings
they had were always looked forward
to by the students. The hot days
never seemed so bad if there was a
watermelon cutting in the afternoon
to break the heat. Another cutting is
scheduled for Tuesday the 18th at
3:00 p.m.
The bingo and bridge parties given
in the evenings are another of the
CU's accomplishments. Every Wed-
nesday evening at 7:30 a beginner
bridge class is also held. On the 5th
of August another bingo party is
planned, and on the 14th there will
be a bridge-party.
This summer for the first time,
the OU sponsored an invitational ta-
ble tennis tournament, which con-
sisted of players from 3 states.

Drivers under 25 years of age were

studies show that exceeding the speed

Even good, drivers
can be forced, into accidents! A
hill-climbing truck ahead and a parade of honkers behind
can try your patience. A tailgater with blazing lights can
make you boil. But don't let them push you into a rash
move. Traffic accidents killed 37,000 people last year. Who
knows how many died because some good driver let another
pressure him into taking a foolish chance? Don't let anger
force you to risk livesyours or others!
