Dance With ISC
The I. F. C. conducted its first
meeting of the year early this week.
Comprised of representatives of the
five national fraternities on campus,
total membership is 22.
Plans of an I. F. C. dance were
announced. Unlike past years the
fraternities and sororities are spon-
soring the dance. Suggestions were
made that the dance be presented
in a warehouse in order to cope with
the large number expected to attend
the dance.
An Interfraternity newsletter will
soon be published by a special com-
mittee made up of I. F. C. representa-
tives.
President Bill Wallace, Theta Chi
fraternity, reminded everyone that
"this year's rush is expected to be
larger and better, but more strict
rush rules will be enforced To make
sure this is carried out a police
committee will be formed to investi-
gate all fraternity rush functions.
The I. F. C. extended a hearty
welcome to Larry Griffin, president
of the newly formed Sigma Phi Ep-
silon fraternity.
New presidents of the social frater-
nities include: George Turner, Kappa
Alpha; Larry Bailey, Theta Chi; John
West, Lambda Chi Alpha; Pat Saw-
yer, Sigma Nu; and Tony Mallard, Pi
Kappa Alpha.
Concerning this year, Bill Wallace

Ovid Williams Pierce, an East
Carolina English professor who gain-
ed national recognition and high
critical praise for his first novel, "The
Plantation has placed his second
novel in the hands of his publishers,
Doubleday and Company. The book is
due to be published in May.
In a letter to Pierce, Lee Barker,
the chief editor at Doubleday who
claimed that "The Plantation" was
the "best first novel" he had seen in
his twenty-five years of publishing,
stated that the next hook is probably
better than the first.
"It's a real gem of a novel, even
better probably than "The .Planta-

for three years on the novel, said
he felt "relieved" to hear from his
puMishers that the book is accept-
able.
The novel is tentatively named "On

partly because it describes the pre-

main character) finds herself
Pierce left the title of the book up
to the publishers.
Based in a reconstruction setting,
the novel concerns the return of a
family to the old plantation after the
close of the Civil War.
Pierce, a native of Weldon, North
Carolina, now lives at his country
home near Enfield and teaches Eng-
lish here. His first novel was pub-
lished in 1958 and won The Sir Wal-
ter Award for Fiction in that year.
Among other writings, he was com-
missioned in 1957 to write a portrait
of North Carolina for Holiday maga-
zine.
"The Plantation" drew praise both
in this country and abroad and was
translated into French. Activity on
his second novel has drawn the

Buccaneer Will
Honor New Queen
Euclid Armstrong, editor of the
1960 Buccaneer, has announced that
something new will be added to the
yearbook this Spring.
Two pages of the upcoming edi-
tion will be devoted to the "Buc-
(aneer Queen" who will be selected
for the first time in school history
this year. The queen will be chosen
from many candidates whose names
were submitted this week by the hon-
orary, professional and social frater-
nities and sororities on campus.
Deadline for contest admission was
Wednesday at 4:00 p.m.
Armstrong said that the voting,
which will be handled by the elec-
tions committee, will take place in
the student union Friday, but the
queen would not be announced until
distribution of yearbooks in the
spring.
The only other similar effort ever
to appear in the annual college pub-
lication was the "Bucaneer King"
who was chosen for the first time in
1957 and has not been elected since.
Armstrong commented, "Notwith-
standing the theme of the book itself,
we feel that this is one of our major
innovations
The "Buccaneer Queen aside from
being honored as such in the book,
will receive a trophy with her name
engraved on it as an added tribute.
Theta Chi Will
Conduct Rush
Theta Chi fraternity will conduct
its annual fall upperclassmen rush
on Monday and Tuesday. All upper-
classmen and transfers are invited
to attend.
The rush party will take place
Monday night in the Alumni Build-
ing from 7-10:00 p.m. On the agenda
will be the following: the introduc-
tion of all the Theta Chi brothers to
the rushees, a small jam session,
refreshments, and an informing ses-
sion dealing with Theta Chi frater-
nity.
During the second night all inter-
ested rushees will be given a tour of
the Theta Chi section in Jones Hall
to see how a fraternity works and
lives together successfully. Also in-
cluded are informative question and
answer sessions, after which every-
one will return to the Alumni House
where they will be entertained by
Pi Kappa sorority.
Rides will be provided to and from
Jones Hall.
The Student Senate unanimously
appioved a $79,793.80 budget Monday
night. According to Student Govern-
ment Treasurer, Charles Dyson, "It
is the first time a budget has passed
the Senate with no opposition
The approval marked a victory for
Dyson and his budget committee who
cut $9,200.29 from the total amount
requested by the various campus
organizations.
In marked contrast to last year's
stormy debate on the Senate floor,
the 35-member body passed the bud-
get committee's appropriations after
only one question was asked and
satisfactorily answered.
Despite a raise in the student ac-
tivity fee this fall, campus organ-
izations still requested more than the
treasury-had on hand. It is the larg-
est student budget in the history of
the school.
"I never expected the Senate to pass
the budget unanimously Dyson
tated. "I expected opposition fr in
at least one organization Several
organizations requests were cut con-
siderably, but none were apparently
rippled.
No action was taken on requests by
VVWWS, the campus radio station, and
lones Hall. In the Senate meeting,
Jones Hall representative, James
Speight, asked why no action was
taken on their request.
Dyson explained that the request
was for a television set and the money
for all building equipment should be
requested to the administration ra-
ther than the student government.
After'the meeting Dyson comment-
ed that all organizations worked very
well with the budget committee. The
committee listened to requests for
three days.
After the approval Monday night,
James H. Tucker, Director of Student
Affaiis, stated that the President
hoi -Id call the student government
advisory board together and form
some policy lines over the budget
requests.
Wells commented on the increasing
number of salaries included in this
year's request and reminded the sen-
ators that although work is work,
most of the student government ac-
tivity should remain extracurricular.
The motion to accept the budget com-
mittee's appropriations was made by
Senator Sam Stowe.
Also at the meeting the Senate ap-
proved a motion to have the Student
Government sponsor weekend enter-
tainment when no other organization
is planning an event.
Local Religious Groups Plan
Activities For EC Students
There are three religious student
centers Presbyterian, Baptist and
Methodist-located near the campus.
These centers have planned programs
for the students' benefit, so they can
meet and fellowship with other Chris-
tian students of the same faith.
Baptists Conduct Daily Activities
The Baptists schedule a forum and
a supper on Mondays starting at
5:15. After which they have a repeat
forum at 7:00. On Tuesday evenings
they attend chapel in Austin. Wed-
nesday and Friday mornings at 7:00
the students meet for a morning
watch, 15 minutes devotional, in the
Y hut.
Vespers are offered at 6:30 Wed-
nesday evenings. The Baptists hold
noon watch in the Y hut Thursday
at 12:00. Thursday evening a
Pible Study is presented at the cen-
ter beginning at 6:45.
The first Monday of the month
is devoted to Missionary emphasis

Methodists Plan Varied Activities
The Methodists also plan a varied
program for the student's interest.
Sunday school class begins at 9:45
and is conducted at the Center. This
is preceded by the serving of buns
and coffee at 9:00. Rides are sup-
plied for any student lacking trans-
portation to church after the pro-
gram.
On Sunday evenings a vesper ser-
vice is presented at 6:15. Supper is
served at 5:00 on Monday evening9
and vespers take place at 6:00. These
vesper programs usually schedule
truest speakers.
Friday night's program consists
of recreation and Saturday night
there is an informal meeting. These
centers are open to all students.
All of these student center groups
afford opportunity for small group
gatherings of worship and study,
ounseling, readings, suppers, watch-
ing television and informal fellow-

McNiel Recounts Her Adventures In Africa During Summer Vacation
Shortly after Admiral Byrd's not-

was the berief answer.
By PAT HARVEY
"I've always enjoyed traveling and
knowing what's going on around the
world stated Dr. Bessie McNiel,
Director of Home Economics Depart-
ment, who, for the better part of the
summer, spent her vacation in Africa.
Approximately one month ago, Dr.
McNiel was returning from the Bel-
gian Congo where she worked in mis-
sion centers and, used her knowledge
to benefit the people of Africa.
As a member of Jarvis Memorial
Methodist Church Dr. McNiel and the
entire congregation were invited to
orrespond with a missionary couple
in the Belgian Congo whom the church
has been helping to support for near-
ly two years.
Dr. McNiel corresponded with them
frequently and during this relation-
ship she was asked to come and help
them with child care and nutrition.
After considerable thought Dr. Mc-
Niel decided to offer her services and
make the trip. Jarvis Memorial sup-
plied substantial aid for her journey.
On her way to Africa Dr. McNiel
stopped in Germany where she spent
five days with Percy Evans, who is
stationed in Kaiserlautern, and his
wife, Gretchen, who is a graduate of
the E.C. Home Economics Depart-
ment.
After this short visit she traveled on
to Kindu, a city in the Congo with a
population of approximately 30,000.
Here she stayed with the Reverend
'nil Mrs. Kenneth Jones and their
sons, Jeffrey and Bruce at the mis-
sion center. "As a guest in their
home explained Dr. McNiel, " I
found their home to be very nice
and quite comfortable
During her interesting stay, Dr.
McNiel helped with Vacation Bible
School. Here she concentrated on
teaching new games and songs to the
nursery teachers. "Teaching new
things stated Dr. McNiel, "was
quite difficult because they had to
be translated into SwahiH, an African
language
She spent two days in Accra,
Ghana, where the new campus of the
University of Ghana is located. Ac-
cording to Dr. McNiel, most West
Africans have not gone beyond secon-
dary school.
"One of my accomplishments ex-
plained Dr. McNiel, "was the com-
pletion of a stove in the home of one
of the African families. All of the
women cook on stones, outside the
homes. So continued Dr. McNiel,
"this is possibly the only African home
in Kindu that has a chimney. I hope
that after the others see this new
facility, there will be more and more
stoves built in the town
After finishing the stove, Dr. Mc-
Niel did food demonstrations show-
ing new ways to prepare foods and
made suggestions on improving the
nutritional value.
Next her journey took her to Lod-
ja, which has a school of Home Eco-
nomics. "This school is on a simple
cale said Dr. McNiel, "but doing
'ery, very good work
One of her other experiences was
attending an African wedding. She
baked the wedding cake, helped with
the wedding reception and had din-
ner in the couple's new home.
Contrary to the common belief that
all of Africa is completely uncivil-
ized, the Sudan Interior Mission
sponsors Radio Station ELWA, which
is built on the beach near Monrovia,
Liberia. About 40 people are assign-
ed to the village and work at the
radio station. "A new 50 thousand
watt transmitter is being installed
announced Dr. McNiel, "and when
completed should be able to reach
the greater part of Africa. They have
a good library of records and many
religious tape recordings in the many
African dialects
Most of the African homes are
made with mud and bamboo. The
roofs are thatched with grass or
banana leaves; but several of the
people are modernizing and building
simple brick and stucco houses. Like
China, the main food on the menu
is rice, which is eaten at least once
a day. Meat is comparatively scarce.
"It is not unusual for the Africans
to eat peanuts and bananas for break-
fast stated Dr. McNiel.
DR. BESSIE McNIEL has returned from Africa where she obtained
many treasures (displayed above).

Tour Provides Ruler
With U. S. Background
Nikita Khrushchev winds up a whirl-
wind tour through the United States this
week and begins a series of private talks with
President Eisenhower.
Peoples of this country have followed the
tour closely, grabbing newspapers greedly to
see what this unpredictable character has
done or said now. Nikita has had a more or
less one man show with Walter Reuther, the
Defense Department, Henry Cabot Lodge,
a few politicians, and Shirley McLaine up-
staging now and then.
A superb actor who can play any role
well, Niki held babies, went to visit a long-
shoreman's hall, pouted when he couldn't visit
Disneyland, made fun of aforementioned Mr.
Lodge, and snarled at politicians, Walter
Reuther and his crew, and reporters who
asked the wrong questions.
In speaking to a group of dock workers,
he affectionately referred to them as "com-
rades He explained to them that workers in
Russia could strike if they wanted to, but
they never did because they knew their gov-
rnment would look after them.
He accused the United States of back-
ing out of or slowing down on the cultural
exchange program between this country and
the U.S.S.R.
He could be tactless and honest or he
could be kind and complimentary. He express-
ed the idea several times that "our ideas are
irreconcilable But at all times before the
people" he was charming and jovial.
Throughout the entire tour he was pull-
ed into or started arguments. They came fast
and quick. And he either won his point or
quit while he was ahead.
He was introduced to "the evils of Hol-
lywood" when he viewed a group of chorus
girls, led by Shirley McLane, dong the can-
can on a set for the movie of the same name.
Niki called the dance immoral. Of course he's
a ballet man.
The trip is just about over. He has seen
that the people of America can be courteous
and generous and also hard, rude, and bitter.
Hut we still haven't seen him at his worst.
President Eisenhower planned the coast
to coast tour in order to provide the power-
ful Krelim ruler with a background for their
upcoming Camp David talks. Since Eisen-
hower has been worried for the past few days
about the treatment of our communist guest,
it is hard to say whether the tour did more
jood than harm.
So again the people of this free country
await their newspapers. In fact many of the
free peoples of the world await their news-
papers. What will come of these talks, of the
Russian proposal to disarm the world in four
No No's?
Editorally
Speaking
By KATHRYN JOHNSON
Can you imagine the budget pass-
ing in the Senate with no no's? There
seem to be few disgruntled organiza-
tions. All but a few got just what
they ask for. There was, of course,
more money around than in past
years.
The big controversy last year made
a splashy lead story. Then just about
everybody got cut, including the East
Carolinian.
With more money this year, we
plan to have twenty-eight issues. Not
too big a jump over last year's twen-
ty-six, but slowly but surely we're
getting nearer to a daily paper.
Probably have one when my grand-
child is editing this publication.
Any organization that wishes to
have stories or pictures in the East
Carolinian, call the editor at exten-
sion 264. If more organizations ad-
vertised the time and place of their
meetings, ten to one their club would

office they hold.
Spirits were high as we won a deci-
sive victory at the footbabll game

citement and footbabll weather and
a new star was born. Sonny Baysin-
ger was known to every fan in the

Over in Havelock, N.C. they have
integration . . . not just desegrega-
tion. T.V. cameras and reporters were
at the Graham Barden School on the
opening day. The cameramen were
probably bored and the reporters too,
because the day went on without in-
cident.
Now one could say that the chil-
dren, the teachers, and the parents
touk no notice of the little colored
children because the majority of
Havelock people are Yankees and just
don't understand the problem we have
down here. Or could it have been that
the elementary age children were too
young to understand that the colored
children just aren't fit to go to the
same school with? They didn't shud-
der, because they didn't realize that
with integration, mixed marriages
are likely to occur.

Men and Women's Judiciaries,
enough in stuate to merit two offices in
Wright Building. One room is for trials and
the other is for the defendants to await trial.
Having a permanent place for trials and
the like may not sound like much, but for the
little group of justices who have been shifted
around from room to room, it marks a step
up. And a step up they need.
It seems these groups have never receiv-
ed the prestige or authority which they de-
serve, or should deserve. The Judiciaries are
definitely not appreciated by the student
body. And they should be. Remember govern-
ment of the people, bv the people, and for the
people. And also "for he shall have a trial by

We hope to carry, in the future, listings
of trials by the two Judiciaries (without
names) to let the students know more about
these two bodies and how they work.(

of social creatures: (1) Entertaining
people, who find it easier to get a
laugh, than force themselves to
chuckle at a friend's little gem; (2)
boring people, who project inwardly
instead of outwardly; (2) shy peo-
ple, who spend hums thinking of
something intelligent to say; but
when they finally loosen their mouths
to reveal it, someone cut them off
to tell about his great uncle's sec-
ond cousin; and, of course, (4) the

be exceedingly brilliant
But, actually, all people, all types,
are necessary to fill the modern col-

mate isn't concerned with your one
hundred faults, tragk family his-
tory or dark, dark secrets, as long
as you laugh at her rubbish called
humor, agree with her rationaliza-
tions, and empty the ashtrays.
But don't knock! This is the mod-
ern world where everyone's out to
grab success, no matter how many
feelings he tramples upon. Every-
one is concerned with his own prob-
lems; friends are only secondary.
Your job, if you are the type who
is too slow to join the rat race, is
to let them through and at the same
time envy them because they are
the stronger. Because five years
from now they will have walking
butlers named Godfry and you're
still stuck with 10 cent silent but-
lers named ashtray.

A Weekend Abo!
By MARCELLE VOGEL
This morning someone approached
me and said, "Where's all the extra
activities that we paid more tuition
tor? We paid the extra money and
we should get more and better enter-
tainment, but so far I haven't seen
anything he added. "No wonder the
students go home on weekends
Do you think oui campus is dull
on the weekends? So many of the
student body go home eve.y weekend,
that they don't have a leg to stand on
when they complain about me lack
of entertainment on campus. Others
are too lazy to go to the various ac-
tivities whi.h are practically thrown
into their laps.
This weekend, for example, was
any tiling but dull. Friday niht Theta
Chi sponsored a big freshman get
acquainted dance in Wright, and the
music and entertainment were tops.
The auditorium was very attractive-
ly decorated with a red and white
theme.
Also, for those who don't care for
dances, a free movie was shown in
Austin. Saturday night was the first
football game, and from where 1 was
sitting the grandstands looked almost
full. Incidently our team started off
with a bang, edging out Albright
with a score of 45 to 0. Good job boys,
we're proud of you! The cheering
squad were really on their toes, and
the band looked and sounded great.
This is a typical weekend, and
every week brings new events. The
college union calendar is full with
table tennis events, combo dances,
and other things of interest for the
fun seeking student.
The different church organizations
on campus offer a varied program of
study, spiritual guidance, and recrea-
tion. Several of them serve suppers
on Sunday and Monday nights, which
are followed by a short vesper service.
So why not stick around some
weekend and find out for yourself just
how your extra tuition fee is being
used.

Three weeks have elapsed since
the advent of the new academic year.
Early reports from the Registrar's
office indicate that the student pop-
ulace has continued its "growth pro-
cess which was launched under the
guidance of the administration head-
ed by Dr. J. D. Messick.
The familiar student cycle of extra-
curricular activities was launched
with the passage of the new student
organizational budget by a unanimous
vote of the Student Senate.
Under the guidance of SGA trea-
surer Charles Dyson, original re-
quests for approximately ninety
thousand dollars were sliced to the
final grant of $79,793.80 for the com-
ing year.
The difficult task of cutting appro-
priation requests falls in the hands of
the student government budget com-
mittee. Their guide for arriving at
proper appropriations is basically
patterned from the knowledge of
how much money will be available in
the general student fund. Early fi-
gures based on enrollment expecta-
tions and surplus funds from last
year were estimated in the neighbor-
hood of $90,000. A reserve of 10
KATS1AS
to cover back expenses and unfore-
seeable financial problems during the
current year completes the structural
financial requirements for the com-
mittee.
Several members of the Student Sen-
ate voiced their disapproval over at-
tempts by some of the organizations
to raise salaries for members holding
key positions. The majority of opin-
ions stated felt that too much empha-
sis was being placed on the salary
instead of the, honor and recognition
involved in holding the individual
position.
A recent survey of the United States
National Student Association, the
largest representative student organ-
ization in the country dealt with this
same subject. The results showed that
an overwhelming majority of the
schools interviewed paid little or no
salary for extra-curricular student
positions.
It appears that the student body-
as a whole knows little of the salary
offerings associated with paying po-
sitions. Future attempts at salary in-
creases need to ba spotlighted and
closely examined.

Note To Students:
Stop Tossing 'Teacher'
By DERRY WALKER
Among the most harrassed people in
world, Jews excepted. are schoolteacher-
It's a crying shame that in a day when m
rockets are everyday conversation and when
old attitudes are constantly being changed
by new discoveries, the attitude toward
schoolteachers remains pretty much the same
Maybe it's the word "schooHenchei
that causes all the trouble. When pe
write the word "doctor" or "lawyer"

thev should use a capital I), or L, or M. bul
when they spell "schoolteacher they ne
pause, they just scratch it right out, in
small letters. You could use the word "P

isn't a very smooth word, and it's hard t
spell. What the teacher needs is a brand
new word for himself, one that is simple but
powerful, like "frump" or "dictionary ex-
cept the last two aren't new, of course.
One reason the word "teacher" la.
prestige is because of its large application
You have all kinds of teachers. Sunday id
teachers, Bible school teachers, piano tea
ers (the small-town type), ping-pong teach
ers, and many others.
The word is generously applied when-
ever and wherever the need arises, but you
never hear "doctor" or "lawyer" tossed
around. You never hear of a Sunday-achoc
doctor or a ping-pong lawyer. You nevei
hear of a piano minister.
Then too, we are living in a time w I
people still remember the teacher as some-
one who had nothing else to do, or could do
nothing else. It is only recently that inten-
training and rigid academic specification?
were combined to develop the teacher,
the doctor and the lawyer have been devel-
oped in this manner for over a century now
So, although the teacher todav is well-

At the age of twenty-one most
American students in education have
completed their junior year of col-
lege, but Aurea Leticia Alonso, from
Mexico City, Mexico, at the age of
twenty-one has two and one half
yean of teaching experience behind
her.
bounded Kindergarten
graduate of the National School
Teachers in Mexico (a normal
el), Miss Alonso is also credited
with the founding of one of the many
kindergarten! near Mexico City.
While attending East Carolina Col-
i . Miss Alonso will be a special
student in Spanish and psychology,
. nd she will conduct conversation
lasses in Spanish.
Arrangements for her year of work
r Kast Carolina were made through
the Institute of International Edu-
cation in New York City; however,
she has been granted a scholarship
by this college.
Second Trip to l.S.
This is Miss Alonso'fi second trip
to the United States, so she is actu-
ally rather accustomed to the people
and their customs. In 1967-1958, as a
articipant in the Experiment in In-
ternational Living program, she lived
for one mouth at Westminister, Ver-
mont; and at other times visited Nia
aia Palis, New York, Washington,
and New Oilcans. She also spent two
weeks at Antioch College in Ohio.
Tins summer Miss Alonso was
hosen the Community Ambassador
Horn Mexico to participate in another
program of the Experiment in Inter-
national Living. Each year different
countries send a representative to this
country to live with the American
people and to visit throughout the
country. Miss Alonso was the first
Community Ambassador from Mex-
ico.
While attending this second pro-
gram, Miss Alonso lived for five
weeks in New York City with five
different families. At the end of the
live weeks, all of the Community
Kinbassadors met in Washington, D.
( . and visited the uites and people.
(It was in Washington that Miss
Alonso received the news of her
scholarship to East Carolina.) From
Washington the group went to Phila-
delphia and then Miss Alonso came
to Greenville.
As to her future plans, Miss Alonso
replied, "I plan to go back to work
in the small public kindergarten near
Mexico City, which i founded for the
government. I love my work there
and will continue teaching until I get
married
Mexico Democratic Country
When speaking of her country
politically, Miss Alonso explained,
"My country has s democratic system
ol government. We have several poli-
tical parties, but the strongest is the
Revolutions! Party which controls the
majority of the seats in Congress. We
do not have Communists in power in
.Mexico, but they do exist in certain
intellectual groupa. The Communists
have not been able to gain promin-
ent e because Mexico is predominant-
ly Catholic, and Catholicism refutes
i oiumunistu
"I sincerely believe continued
Miss Alonso, "that Mexico is now in
one of its most progressive and pro-
bative eras. Mexico is growing, and
there is great need for trained
workers, teachers, engineers, and
i there, but we cannot afford to pay
them great salaries. Most of our
trained workers now receive very
small salaries, but they are working
to establish a foundation tor a big-
ger and better Mexico
Miss Alonso will remain in the
United States until school closes in
May. She will then return to Mexico
and her family which includes her
parenta, two sisters and a brother.
Miss Alonso's father is an agent for
the Coca-Cola Company, and her mo-
ther and two sisters have all taught
school.

PIRATE'S
DEN
By JOHNNY HUDSON
Short stuff from the den
Saturday night's game between East Carolina and Albright was
proclaimed as one of the most successful home openers here in many years.
Interest in the club was at a peak, even after the loss at Presbyterian, and
over 5,000 jammed College Stadium for the gala opening.
There is little doubt that the crowd didn't get their money's worth.
Coach Jack Boone's contingent had a field day, sending six touchdowns
across the stripes and making one of the biggest offensive showings here
in many a day. The Pirate backs looked good and the line play was fierce.
The home opener got a lot of attention from the town folks. One
commented that they could usually hear the band and the drum roar but
Saturday night was the first time they had heard the student body making
an noise. A good sign at last.
One Group Makes Noise
Down through the years, although we sometimes fail to notice it,
one certain group has stood out in our cheering section. It is the ECC band.
Not only do they provide a halftime show, the music, but they also pro-
vide the leadership in the cheering section. Across the field, it is easy to
hear them and they stand out above the rest of the crowd. Our HATS OFF
to you. Mr. Carter, and the band.
Wish the fans would be seated when announcing the starting lineup for
the Pirates. The response Saturday was poor. Only a few brave souls at-
tempted to yell and they faded out after the first three or four positions
were announced. We know the players now so maybe this can be improved
in the future.
Junior Varsity Game Tonight
Coach Gary Mattocks will unmask his freshmen team tonight. A
lot of good boys are in the fold and a good crowd should turn out for the
game. . . . The Touchdown Club of Greenville has been real active during
their first year of existence and one of their projects is to sponsor a JV
game October 8th. We might note that students will be charged for the
freshmen game but the money will be used to help buy a new scoreboard
for the college. The old one is about shot and doesn't keep accurate time.
The TD club meets weekly and usually view the football film of the
past Saturday. Another project that they have undertaken is to select an
outstanding player at all of ECC's home games. This player is the guest
of the TD club and receives various awards.
Monday Quarterbacks at Work
The Monday quarterbacks are at it again. Last season, they had
their gripes if we lost a game but now they have found another angle to
criticize from. Following the Saturday game, they seemed to think that
ECC had played a weak high school team. They don't realize that at the
first of the game, the tilt could have gone either way if ECC hadn't made
a goal line stand. But if they're happy so be it. We just wonder how
they can go to college here and find so many faults with it.
Predictions of the Week
Let's open up our second week of forecasting by picking the Pirates
to win their second game by 14 points over a strong Guilford club.

Appalachian over Western Carolina by 13.
Newberry to trounce Catawba by 14.
Wofford over Elon by 19.
Carolina over Notre Dame by 3.

V. ,P. I. over Wake Forest by 6.
Clemson over Virginia by 20.
Pirates Trounce Albright 45-0
For First Win Of 1959 Season
East Carolina, headed by the half-
back duo of Glenn Bass and Sonny
Hasinger, produced a bone-crushing
offense here Saturday night to thrash
a game but outclassed Albright
eleven, 45-0.
For the Pirates, it was their big-
gest offensive outburst since 1953.
A crowd of 5,000 filed out of
College Stadium still raving over
the new-found strength on the East
Carolina football scene.
The capacity crowd came to ECC's
home opener expecting to see a close
game and an ECC offense based upon
the running of halfback James
Speight, an All-Conference star in
1957.
Speight turned in his usual steady
performance but it was Glenn Bass,
a Wilson speedster, and Sonny Ba-
singer, .a Wingate Junior College
transfer, that reaped the headlines
in the Pirates' first victory of the
young season.
Bass sent the locals out in front
shortly after the opening kickoff
when he dashed around left end for
32 yards and pay-dirt. Jerry Car-
penter booted the point and a parade
of ECC touchdowns was underway.
Using speed as his big weapon,
Bass slashed off his left tackle and
was gone again for 90 yards and
and EC linemen were cutting down
the opposition.
Bert Stafford tossed a jump pass
to Jones Lockerman to give the
winners two more points following
the score.
The scoring was wrapped up in
the final quarter but EC didn't let
up until the final second ticked
away. Henry Kwiatkowski booted
an eight-yard field goal and then
Tommy Matthews scored on a 16-
yard pass on the final play of the
game.
Matthews had set up the score by
intercepting a pass and returning it
to the Lions 16. Cary Parker threw
him a screen pass on the final play
of the game and the Herford sopho-
more went over 'the stripes un-
touched.
Bugs Open Loop
Season Against
Strong Quakers
With the sweet smell of victory
and sour taste of defeat under their
belts, East Carolina will be trying
to start anew this weekend when
they open their 1959 North State
Conference slate at Guilford against
the Quakers.
The Bucs open their loop cam-
paign fresh from a 45-0 victory over
Albright College last Saturday night.
ECC had opened the season the pre-
vious week by dropping a one point
lead in the final four minutes to
lose to Presbyterian, 18-13.
Now the Bucs will try to take
over where they left off last season
against the Quakers. ECC caught
the Guilford club here in the final
game of the season and after scor-
ing on the first play of the game
went on to record a 20-0 victory.
It will be a different story this
year. Coach Jack Boone tackles his
conference foe at a bad time. With
a surprising 27-0 shocker over Elon,
the Quakers have confidence and will
be playing on home soil, always a
good advantage.
Coach Bill McDonald, ECC assist-
ant coach, scouted the Quakes in
their victory and warned the Pirate
club that "they are tough "They
are average size, quick, and have
good team speed pointed out Mc-
Donald.
The 1959 talent-laden band of
Pirates will be trying to preserve
a "Jack Boone tradition Since tak
ing over as head mentor here in 195J,
Boone has not dropped a title to the
Quakers in 5 outings.
The local club came out of the Al-
I.tight fray in good physical con-
dition and center Chuck Gordon, out
for the past two weeks, was slated
to be back in full gear, ready for
tough work.
Slated to work at the ends will be
Bill Cain and David Thomas; Vet-
nun Davis and Ed Emroy at tackles;
Jim Gordon and Wayne Davis at the
guards and Lynn Barnett at center.
Glenn Bass and James Speight
will open at the halfbacks and Mac
Thacker at fullback. Ralph Zehring
will handle the signal calling chutes.
Other backs slated for plenty of
action will be David Rogers, Sonny
Basinger, Jerry Carpenter, Walkie
Hanford, and Tommy Matthews.
Featured in the second unit line
will be Dempsey Williams, Johnny
Wike, Gary Pierce, Henry Kwiatkow-
ski, Henry Vansant, Jones Locker-
man and Howard Beale.

Have New Faces
The 1959-60 Pirate baslcetball ma-
chine begins the season in December
under a new coach, although he is a
familiar one to EC athletes and
sports fans.
Coach Earl Smith, who has served
as line coach for Buc football teams,
as well as an assistant coach in bas-
ketball and baseball, will relieve
Howard Porter as head basketball
coach this year.
It will be no new undertaking for
Coach Smith, for along with serving
as Porter's assistant, he held down
the head basketball coaching position
here earlier.
A glimpse at the outlooks for the
coming season reveals very little ex-
perience. With only two seasoned vet-
erans on the squadIke Riddick, a
senior, and Don Smith, a juniorit
looks as though Coach Smith has his
work cut out for him. Also return-
ing from last year's squad are junior
lint Hall, and sophomores Dave Star-

Together with a crop of talented
iteshmen headed by Lawrence "Cot-

mold this into a successful team

The Intramural Council has begun
lunctions for the coming year with
, hopes and big plans, according
tudent director Wally Cockrell.
Cockrell, who has been affiliated
Kith K" intratnurals his three years
here also played one of the outfield
I tition: for the Pirate baseball team.
He saj he was pleased at the inter-
est of the six fraternities on campus
in the intramural program. All six
organizations had representatives at
the first meeting last week, and each
nas. entered a team in the football
league.
Interest in the independent league
.a not so oud, with only two re-
entatives at the meeting, Cock-
rell commented. "Although the frat-
ernitiea are the backbone of our
organization, without enough teams
it the independent league the com-
petitive spirit is dampened he states.
Among the subjects discussed at
theii first meeting, the council sug-
gested entering a new sport, swim-
ming, to their program. The frater-
nities seem to be very interested in
this suggestion, Cockrell reports. Pi-
rate swimming coach, Ray Martinez,
also liked the idea and will give the
intramural council his cooperation in
I utting it over.
Officers for this year's Intramural
Council are John West, president;
Jim Martin, vice president; Rayburn
Jenkins, second vice president; and
Craig Reed, secretary. At present no
one holds the office of publicity di-
tector.
At the end of each season, a ban-
quet will be held in honor of the win-
ners in both the fraternity and in-
dependent league.
Student director Cockrell, who is
greatly concerned with the lack of
interest in the independent league,
expressed wishes that those inter-
ested in entering a team in that lea-
gue would contact him as soon as
possible. If at least four more teams
are not entered, the independent lea-
gue will be abandoned and those
teams already signed up will play
in the fraternity league.

Under the direction of coaches
Gary Mattocks and Lee Atkinson, the
"Baby Bucs" have been undergoing
a tensive drills since early Septem-
ber, and have progressed very well
according to the two mentors.
The freshman team is made up of
many former high school stars of
tecent and past years. Some of the
performers have come directly from
the high school gridiron while others
ate fresh from experiences- gained
while playing service ball.
According to coaches Mattocks and
Atkinson, most of the starting lineup

to the high degree of talent prevalent
on the ftosh squad.
Han Rouse, a Newport News, Va
native, is expected to get the starting
nod at (matterback. Rouse is a strong
performer and is expected to see
much action at the quarterback slot.
In the line, the freshmen are ex-
pected to benefit much from the ser-
vices of Bobby Bumgardner, a 180
pound end from Granite Falls, N. C.

FASTER, FASTER!
College enrollment continues to spiral upward. The need for
more classrooms and more teachers grows more desperate daily.
But classrooms, alas, do not spring up like mushroomsnor
teachers like May flies. So what must we do while we build more
classrooms and train more teachers? We must get better use out
of the classrooms and teachers we now have. That's what we
must do.
This column, normally a vehicle of good-humored foolery,
will today forsake laughter to examine the crisis in higher
education. My sponsors, the makers of Philip Morris Cigarettes,
as bonny a bunch of tycoons as you will see in a month of Sun-
days, have given cheerful consent to this departure. Oh,
splendid chaps they arethe makers of Philip Morris, fond of
home, mother, porridge, the Constitution and country fiddling!
Twinkly and engaging they are, as full of joy, as brimming with
goodness, as loaded with felicity as the cigarettes they bring
you in two handy packagesthe traditional soft pack and the
crushproof flip-top box.
How can we make better use of existing campus facilities0 The
answer can be given in one wordspttdup! Speed up the educa-
tional processstreamline courses. Eliminate frills. Sharpen.
Shorten. Quicken.
emwr(frl&MW(Wlfc
Following is a list of courses with suggested methods to speed
up each one.
PHYSICSEliminate slow neutrons.
PSYCHOLOGY LAB-Tilt the mazes downhill. The white
mice will run much faster.
EXGIXEERIXG-Make slide rules half as long.
MUSIC Change all tempos to allegro. (An added benefit
to be gained from this suggestion is that once you speed ud
waltz time, campus proms will all be over by ten p.m. With
students going home so early, romance will languish and mar-
riage counsellors can be transferred to the Buildings and
Grounds Department. Also, houses now used for married
students can be returned to the School of Animal Husbandry.)
ALGEBRA-If X always equals twenty-four, much time-
consuming computation can be eliminated.
DEXTISTRY-Skip baby teeth-they fall out anyhow.
POETRY-Amalgamate the classics. Like this:
Hail to thee blithe spirit
Shoot if you must this old gray head
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog
