Buccaneer Ends
Picture Taking
provement during the last two
years So went the general state-
ment of Melvin Buck, college traffic
supervisor, concerning the present
parking situation on the East Caro-
lina campus.
However, he added that due to the
phenomenal increase in the number
of student automobile registrations,
some 2.000 as of noon Monday, he
personally considers it advisable to
refuse to permit freshmen to have
cars on campus in the near future.
Mr. Buck said that the possibility of
so limiting student vehicles has been
under consideration for some time,
but that the "final and ultimate de-
cision will lie with Dr. Messick and
other high college officials He has-
tened to add that in case any such
ruling is made, freshmen commuters
and veterans will probably be exempt.
Mr. Buck explained that the man-
i er in which the traffic and parking
situation is determined is from the
amount of money taken in by his of-
575 Turn Out In
Recent Election
In the recent election of the Buc-
caneer Queen, 575 people turned out
for the voting. The winner received
87 votes, but her name will not be
released until the early part of May.
This is the first year in which the
Buccaneer has conducted a contest
such as this and it was initiated by
Euclid Armstrong, Buccaneer editor.
The Buccaneer Queen's picture will
tiuns. For instance, during the 1957-
68 college year, approximately $2,500
were collected in fines; during last
school year he collected in excess of
$1,500, or a deficit of nearly $1,000
over the previous year.
Mr. Buck credits the issuance of
the East Carolina College Campui
Traffic Rules and Regulations, a
pamphlet clarifying all facets of
campus traffic law to the student,
with the sudden decrease in viola-
tions.
When asked what the money col-
lected for traffic violations went for,
Mr. Buck made it clear that, as in
all situations involving the expendi-
ture of money, it is under the direct
jurisdiction of Vice President F. D.
Duncan. He did add that in the past
the fines had done such things as
paving the Umstead parking lot, pro-
vided signs stating parking regula-
tions and bought the decals for car
windshields which cost 5 1-4 cents
each or approximately $105 thus far
this quarter. In the future, the traf-
fic fines are expected to provide ad-
ditional parking spaces along College
Hill Drive.
Dallas Wells reports that home-
coming festivities this year will prob-
ably be the gayest and most elabor-
ate ever enjoyed by East Carolina.
The Student Government President
said, "We're expecting the longest
parade, the best entertainment and
more numerous activities than the
school has ever experienced
Preparations have been underway
for some time, and are now in full
swing, according to Wells. "The
floats this year will more than likely
be more outstanding than any previ-
ous ones and we are going to make
extra efforts to see that the parade
is lined up efficiently and run
smoothly Wells noted that Dan
Spain and Robert Needs would super-
vise parade activities and would not
allow late arrivals to enter the line.
The Homecoming weekend will of-
ficially begin with a street dance
behind the student union, Friday
night at eight o'clock. Music will be
furnished by the Collegians with
Betty Lane Evans, vocalist.
The parade will begin rolling at
ten-thirty, Saturday morning. Wells
reports that the EC band will appear
as usual, and two high school bands
have also been invited.
The alumni luncheon is scheduled
for noon, following the parade. Later,
at one-thirty, the candidates for
Homecoming Queen will be present-
ed on the field at Memorial Stadium.
This year, the queen will be picked
from forty-five girls, the largest
number ever to compete for the
crown.
The EC Pirates will battle Elon- Col-
lege for the afternoon game. The EC
band has scheduled an entertaining
program for their half-time show,
and will feature E. C Beatty, who
will sing his popular recording of
"Ski King
At four-thirty, following the game,
the Student Union will provide an
open house for visitors, and evening
celebrations will commence at eight
o'clock in Wright Auditorium where
Sam Donahue and his dance band will
furnish the music for the Home-
coming Dance.
Wells commented that the work of
planning and supervising the week-
end had been divided among several
people. Betty McCauley and Sadie
Barber are in charge of the candi-
dates for queen, and Rodd Jenson and
John Whitehurst will supervise the
hanging of decorations for the dance
and any others needed.
"It's going to be a great weekend
Wells said, "and should surpass all
others in every way
Humber Arrives Next
Week To Begin Talks
Dr. George A. Douglas, Director
of the East Carolina College Dan-
forth Project Committee, announced
the the faculty and students would
play host next week to one of the
most notable men ever to arise from
North Carolina's ranks.
Senator Robert Lee Humber, law-
yer, statesman, and native of Green-
ville, will arrive on campus Monday,
October 5, to begin a series of iormal
and informal talks on subjects of
historical and contemporary signifi-
cance.
"Senator Humber Dr. Douglas
said, "has achieved international ac-
claim for his many and varied ef-
forts toward peace and prosperity
Among the Senator's noteworthy
achievements is his resolution for
world federation which was approved
by twenty-nine state legislatures.
A Wake Forest graduate, Senator
Humber is a Rhodes Scholar. He has
served on the faculty of Harvard
University, was a member of the
Board of Trustees at Meredith Col-
lege, and is currently a Trustee of
Wake Forest College. He holds mem-
bership in Theta Delta Kappa, honor-
ary leadership fraternity, Sigma Phi
Epsilon, national social fraternity,
and wears the Phi Beta Kappa Key.
The Greenville native has seen
much of the nation as well as the
world. He held the rank of 2nd I.ieu
tenant in World War I, and feting
the decade between 1930 and 1940,
he was lawyer and businessman in
Paris, France.
When asked about the nature
Senator Humber's lectures, Dr. Doug-
las commented: "He is a man of much
learning and one who possesses an
extraordinary memory of past his-
tory he has studied. With his ade-
quate background in history and
from his own personal experience. 1

Senator Humber will lecture on
Crucial Conflicts and Changes In
The Modern World on Monday eve-
ning at eight o'clock in Joyner Audi-
torium. The speaker will then appear
at the "Y" hut for coffee and chats
following his lecture. At nine o'clock
on Tuesday morning, in Austin Audi-
torium, and again at eight the same
evening in Joyner Auditorium, the
Senator will speak on American Gov-
ernment In The Space Age and Uk-
and Responsibilities in Times of
Crisis, in that order. Coffee will be

Men's Judiciary To Strive
For Discipline, Efficiency

ions again that evening in the "Y"

At eleven on Wednesday morning,
the Danforth guest will again speak
on American Government In The

strive to function more efficiently
and to work with the students stat-
ed Dean Mallory, advisor.
The Judiciary, headed by James
Turner, consists of Barny West,
vice president; Otis Struthers, secre-
tary; J. D. Hodge, president of Um-
stead; and James Speight, president
of Jones. There is one vacancy yet
to be filled.
At the meeting last night the Judi-
ciary tried three cases. Dean Mal-
lory said that these cases were "not
serious, not minor just average
One of the cases involved a boy who
was under the influence of alcohol.
Such offenses as speeding, making
excessive noise in the dormitories
after 10:30 p.m gambling, and lying
warrant trial by the Judiciary.
Dean Mallory, along with Dr.
Tucker, has set up a framework for
ciary. In this framework each case is
to be tried on its own merits. This
framework also recommends punish-
ments for the more common offenses.
The Judiciary itself cannot epel or
suspend a student. This must be dune
either by Dean Mallory or by the Dis-
cipline Committee.
This year one objective of the Judi-
ciary is to have the house commit-
tees in the respective dormitories
function efficiently. Dean Mallory re-
marked that he feels that house com-
mittees and proctors elected in the
men's dorms were a fine group of
men who would take their jobs seri-
ously.
Dean Mallory wants the men stu-
dents to feel that the Judiciary is
working for them, but at the same
time the students must respect the
Judiciary and its members.

season. "Nightclub" and "Why I Am
A Bachelor both comedies, are
slated to begin a two-night presenta-
tion October 7 and 8 in McGinnis

The purpose for presenting these
yearly productions is to allow fresh-

perclassmen connected with freshman
plays are the directors and committee
heads.
Playhouse members, Dan Yanchi-
sin and Connie Erwin are directing
"Why I Am A Bachelor" and "Night-
club respectively.
"As director of "Nightclub stated
Miss ETwin, "I have attempted to give
a worldliness and also a realness to
my characters. Although my play
takes place in a sophisticated area
Miss Erwin continued, "it still has
real, down-to-earth people
The play occurs in the powdeT
room of a nightclub and its partici-
pants are all females. "There is no
major role in 'Nightclub explained
Pat Hackworth, freshman performer,
"I play the part of a young married
woman who could be an extremely
happy person Miss Hackworth con-
tinued, "if only two women were not
vying for my husband's attention. I
love him, but I'm too weak to fight
for him. Hoping is the best I can
do
Miss Hackworth, a business major,
has performed in several high school
musical productions including "Okla-
homa "South Pacific" and "Carou-

the second audience which results in
the play itself
"As director continued Yanchin-

Fire Prevention
Calls For Your Help
Forty-three times since 1871 single con-
flagrations in the United States have claimed
the lives of at least 35 persons. Most recent:
a nursing home in 1957, which claimed 72
lives, and the Chicago school fire of 1958,
in which 93 died.
This college will observe next week Fire
Prevention Week, which has been observed
since 1922 on a national basis.
Observance of this week is held in Oc-
tober each year and it is always the week
which includes the anniversary of the great
Chicago fire of 1871.
In preparation for Fire Prevention Week,
a committee, headed by Dr. James H. Tucker,
has been working on evacuation plans in
case of fires or emergences. Each classroom
building and dormitory has one faculty mem-
ber in charge to direct procedures.
Monday plans have been formulated for
fire drills in all classroom buildings. Posters
will be put up this week to direct students
in each classroom to the nearest exit in case
of fire or emergency. An adequate system
of signals for evacuating and re-entering
buildings is being planned by the committee.
Monday night, under the direction of
Dean James Mallory. Melvin Buck, and Dean
Ruth White, there will be fire drills in all
dormtories.
The commttee has gone to a great deal
of trouble to make plans to insure the safety
of this campus community. They have done
what they can. The remainder of the respons-
ibility rests with the students and faculty.
Since matches and smoking have caused
26.2cl of all fires in the United States in the
past few years, students are urged to be
especially careful when smoking in any cam-
pus building. Pails of sand are placed out-
side various classroom buildings for the dis-
posal of cigarettes. Never, under any cir-
cumstances, should trash or paper of any
sort be put in these pails. Students are urged
to observe no smoking signs anywhere they
appear, especially in Wright Auditorium.
Buildings which have been made fireproof
to further insure safety are Rawls, Jones,
Slay, Umstead, the library, the Administra-
tion Building, the new wing to the cafeteria,
the gymnasium, and Flanagan.
With a good record up-to-date, only two
small fires have been recorded on this cam-
pus in the past ten years: a sixty gallon
trash barrel behind Austin Building caught
tire five years ago. and a small fire occurred
in the laundry about two years ago.
Cooperate with the Fire Prevention Com-
mittee in making our drills successful next
week and be careful throughout the year.
Help keep our campus safe.

Misunderstood
Efforts Thwarted
By KATHRYN JOHNSON
It seems that a small portion of
our column last week was terribly
misunderstood by more than one
person. The remarks in tha para-
graph which began "Over in Have-
lock were written with tongue
in cheek and were intended to ba
sarcastic.
The remarks were supposedly ones
such as would come from those who
wanted to make excuses for why the
school system of which we spoke wa
doing such an admirable job of in-
tegrating.
Speaking sincerely, we think that
the administration, teachers, parents,
and children of that school deserve
commendation for accomplishing with
such ease and naturaliness what it
will take others years, maybe even
generations to do, or to be made to
do.
We hope that every day more and
more people will come to realize that
trampling the colored race underfoot
has done harm to the White as well
as to the Negro race.
Never can we be the great free
nation we profess to be, the true
Christians we say we are until we
stop blaming color and begin blam-
ing environment and conditions. And
until we give to the Negro dignity,
we can never believe in the dignity
of man.
For those interested in the pros
and oons of "race mixing" read

Khrushchev Returns Home
Russia's prow-erful Nikita Krushchev
has returned to the U.S.S.R while
President Eisenhower has gone to the
desert to get rid of a cold.
Just how much was accomplished
by Mr. K's trip to the U. S. will not
be known for some time. We do know,
however, that during the Camp David
talks Eisenhower's personal condi-
tions for a Summit Conference were
met. And the President says that the
threat to Berlin no longer exists.
Khrushchev is now in Peiping talk-
ing with Mao Tze-tung. Some think
that he will try to influence Tze-
tung to melt the cold war. Did the
trip do that much good?
The President will pay Khrushchev
a return visit in the spring. Informed
sources made a guess that a Sum-
mit Conference will take place even
before then, perhaps in December or
even as early as November.
The Communist party newspaper
Pravda said the tour and the blunt
speeches of Mr. K. opened the eyes
of Americans to many things. And
they did. Pravda also commented that
since the tour it would be easier for
the Soviet people to talk to the Amer-
ican people.
H umber To Speak Here
We uige every student to hear Dr.
Robert Lee Humber, Danforth lec-
tuier. speak next week. Dr. Humber,
a Rhodes Scholar, is a Pitt County
native. He is one of the foremost
men in our state today. Don't miss
the opportunity of hearing him. (See
story front page).
National Sorority Number Two
We hear that a second sorority is
on the final step of going national,
and with one of the highest ranked
of sororities. Things are really spin-
ning around here. We never thought
when we were freshmenthat we'd
see the day when this campus had
five national social eternities (and
a sixth on the way) and two national
sororities.
Back in those days there was a
big controversy about whether to
even have the things or not. Some
students said they would cause this
campus to lose the friendly atmos-
phere for which it was noted. Others
&aid that and a lot more. When the
question finally came to a vote, fra-
ternity men went to the polls in droves
and scored a victory. And arent W
glad they did!

ports that former homecoming com-
mittee chairman Betty McCauley has
agreed to be a member of the com-
mittee. The committee will work with-
out a chairman and different mem-
bers will head subcommittees.
Herbert Carter, director of the
marching band, is planning a spec-
tacular show for half-time during the
homecoming football game. The ma-
jorettes are going to do another hot
number too!

Krushchev's Latest Propaganda uugh The Whole
Move Deserves A Checkmate Campus Will Join
Now that the Khrushchev "invas-
ion" is over and its aftermatfo has
subsided, it is time to take stock of
just what was accomplished by it all.
On the surface one might find it dif-
ficult, perhaps impossible, to point
out any one concrete accomplishment
of significance. Underneath the sur-
face, however, there were events
which certainly made the trip worth-
while.
If serious consideration is given
the Russian Premier's disarmament
proposal, there will be seen an op-
portunity to reveal the plan for what
it really is, a propoganda stunt. For
all practical purposes, the plan, as
he proposed it, is practically impossi-
ble for both Russia and the United
States.
Knowing the plan to be unaccept-
able to the West, he scored a major
propoganda victory by proposing it.
He knew the plan would not be ac-
cepted, and would probably have been
bitterly disappointed if it had. He
then proceeded to propose partial
disarmament as an alternative. In
doing so, he obligated himself to
make concessions in order to prove
his sincerity.
Herein lies the opportunity to make
him match his words with deeds.
These deeds are namely agreements
on an effective method for control-
ling disarmament, which so far the
Communist boss has failed to do.
President Eisenhower, in the near
future, should spell out explicitly to
Russia and the entire world what
measures he considers effective and
fair to all. His precise reasons for
demanding stringent controls should
also be plainly stated, even name
By JAMES M. CORBETT
names if necessary. This action by
the president would place Khrushchev
on the spot where he would have to
either refuse or agree publicly. Once
and for all his hand would be forced
for the world's eyes to see.
In order to be effective, a plan of
this type to reveal the Communist's
true intent would have to be executed
with extreme care and precise word-
ing. The time and place of such a
proposal would be extremely im-
portant. Perhaps the President's
forthcoming visit to Russia would be
the wisest choice. At least the chances
of the Russian people hearing it
would be greatly enhanced. It would
also serve to counteract the Premier's
proposal delivered while in this coun-
try.
Such a proposal would have to be
worded in such a way that no doubt
remains as to its fairness to all sides.
Both Russia and the United States
would have to be subjected to the
same control restrictions. All other
details would have to be arranged so
that no advantages could be taken
of any one. Only after the people of
the world were firmly convinced of
the fairness of the proposal could we
rest assured that a Russian refusal
would reveal her as the hypocrite she
really is.

This boy in Umstead came ambling up

lots of alcohol and a few crying towels which

Why Can't Studnet Body
Elect Judiciary Vacancies?
By MIKE
A familiar question echoed in the
halls of the various buildings on cam-
pus whenever members of the Stu-
dent Senate stopped to speak to each
other: "Do you feel that vacant judic-
iary positions should be appointed
by us or elected by the student body?"
Last year, the same question was
brought to the attention of senators
on two separate occasions and the
issue received a definite reply from
that governing student organ. They
expressed a unanimous opinion that
vacancies should be filled by a special
student body election.
The SGA Constitution doesn't pro-
vide for any appointment process.
Besides stating the qualifications for
holding a judicial office, it expressly
states "only men students may vote
for members of the Men's Judiciary
and only women may vote for mem-
bers of the Women's Judiciary
Campus cynics comment, "Why
have an election? You know how these
popularity polls influence the voters
They feel that elections should be
eliminated because the student body
KATSIAS
doesn't select wisely.
In recent years, the stature of the
campus judiciary has undergone a
change for the good. This movement
has been pioneered by interested stu-
dents who have accepted the chal-
lenge to responsibility. We are far
from achieving the best judicial sys-
tem, but this year's system appears
to be headed in the right direction,
if early cases are any indication.
James Turner, chairman of the
Men's Judiciary, and other members
of the Student Senate feel that va-
cancies should be filled by special
election.
Even though campus elections
aren't a success percentage-wise, they
offer the student body an opportunity
to express their choice for the stu-
dent they want to represent them.
If the wrong person gets the job,
it's up to the campus electorate to
learn their mistake and profit by it.
Giving the student body an oppor-
tunity to select their judiciary repre-
sentatives is a healthy practiceone
that should be continued.

Literary Genius' Fight
For Professional Glory,
New Campus Magazine
By DERRY WALKER
Jimmy Kirkland, campus hero, and Tom
Jackson, leading journalism germ, are ser-
iously considering the creation of a new cam-
pus magazine. Both being intellectual giants
they intend to publish material that will
challenge the reader's mind and stimulate his
wit.
They are running into trouble in attempt-
ing to create material that will challenge the
mind since Jackson cannot spell and Kirk-
land cannot write, however, we believe they
will be successful in their endeavors toward
humor, since they are both jokes themselves
Kirkland, to those of you who have had
the pleasure of not meeting him, is one of
the few remaining professional photogra-
phers who still uses a Brownie, and may be
described as a jovial fellow and a very dis-
cerning one. (Although it is not definitely es-
tablished just what he discerns.)
Jackson, a vertiable lion among literary
critics, although he would much prefer the
title of Don Juan, promises to balance the
ingenious wit of Kirkland with literao
works of a more severe design in their pro-
posed magazine. Lots of luck, men, but for-
get not the WWA.
Euclid Armstrong is promising an out-
standing yearbook this year. The man has
definitely conceived some ideas that we think
will give that publication some real heart. He
has intentions of including some of the verj
classic examples of college human nature that
have heretofore been overlooked, and the
yearbook is certainly the place where these
examples should be recorded.
Faculty members, and some students too,
may be interested to know that when a faculty
member chaperones a student event, his baby-
sitter is paid by the SGA. Real money, too.
Anyone who can stand in the hot sun for
five minutes and keep his hands by his side
during a siege by gnats and smile the whole
time should be elected to "Who's Who Among

the student plan his courses for
college study.
"I shall also be glad to help any
student who is having difficulty in

students proper means of study hab-
its stated Dr. Fuller. This is ideal
for freshmen, as well as for upper-

was guest speaker of the Industrial Gaut.

this
coming year
Arts Club at the meeting September
28.
More than 65 students of industrial
arts were present as Dean Jenkins
spoke on "Your Career in Industrial
ArtsToday and Tomorrow He ex-
pressed his belief that the industrial
arts teacher can and does make an
important and unique contribution to
the total school program. He also
pointed out the shortage of industrial
arts teachers in both North Carolina
and other states.
Dean Jenkins called upon the stu-
dents to put forth all of their ener-
gies to make their work at East
Carolina a success. He stressed the
importance of membership in the
club as a part of their life as a
student and urged their full partici-
pation in its activities. An informal
question and answer period followed
when members of the club asked
questions concerning college life and
opportunities in the field of indus-
trial arts.
Following the address, a short busi-
ness meeting was held. Plans for the
annual membership drive were for-
mulated and Dr. Kenneth L. Bing,
chairman of the Industrial Arts De-
partment, . ailed for continued efforts
to expand the membership and enrich
the club's program of activities. It
was decided that the program and
business meetings would be held on
separate and alternate meeting dates.
Club meetings are held on the second
and fourth Wednesday evenings at
6:45 p.m. ,
Kenneth Stalls of Washington is
president of the organization.

neer reporter; and Barbara Mitchell,
East Carolinian reporter.
The club undertakes several pro-
jects each year. One started last year,
which they plan to continue, is contri-
buting to the International Scholar-
ship Fund of the American Home
Economics Association.
Last Tuesday the old members en-
tertained at a "get acquainted" sup-
per for new girls in the Home Eco-

"Y" Hut To Open
Friday Nights
Realizing the increasingly crowded
conditions of other meeting places on
campus, the YM and YWCA cabinets
will keep the "Y" Hut open on Fri-
day evenings from eight o'clock un-
til eleven for informal recreation. The
major emphasis on these occasions is
to be informality. It is hoped that
the student body of East Carolina
will begin to look upon the "Y" Hut
on Friday nights as a place where
they may bring their dates or come
unescorted for an evening of fun.
The "Y" has a record player and
an increasing collection of popular
music which will be available on these
occasions. In addition, light refresh-
ments will be served during the even-
ing.

a living laboratory in which to work
and learn in what practical ways
to be of service.
Tau Sigma is now accepting let-
ters requesting membership from
those who have an over-all average

FASTER, FASTER!
College enrollment continues to spiral upward. The need fot
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 wt
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,

No band or large welcoming crowd awaited Coach Jack Boone and
his Pirates on their return to the East Carolina Campus last Saturday eve-
ning following their win over Guilford. The quiet and unappreciated return
didn't seem to dampen the Pirate warriors as they departed from the bus
with the singing of the Alma Mater and prepared to hit the sack and let
their wounds heal before starting preparations for another conference tilt
against Catawba this Saturday.
The win bounced East Carolina into a tie for the North State
leadership with Appalachian and thv way in which they outmanned
(iuilford was comforting to ECC followers.
This week they run up against another toughie in Salisbury. The In-
dians have a new coach and system and have taken a couple of bumps
thus far. They are big and could provide trouble once they start clicking.
ECC will be favored but they cannot consider it a "breather
Blue Hose Look Good
The way that Presbyterian has knocked off Davidson and Furman
makes the Pirate stock look better. PC downed East Carolina 18-13 in the
season opener, after being pushed around for three quarters. Since then,
they have edn'd Furman and then came back in the second half to rip
Davidson. 26-21, tins past Saturday.
The Blue Hose have one of the better clubs on the ECC schedule.
The loss at Clinton seems to have made the Booneinen tougher and in the
long run. fate might have been with East Carolina.
Intramural Program Underway
Wally Cockrell, a senior has taken over as Student Intramural Di-
rectoi foi the liege. Working under Coach Earl Smith, Cockrell has a
program outlined foi this year and he hopes it will be bigger than in past
rears.
The Virginia native is well aware of the obstacles of a good
program, having been closely connected to the Intramural system for
the past three seasons. He served as president of the Intramural Coun-
cil last season. His job is a hard oneharder than most realize.
Wally states that only one league will be in operation during the
football season this year. Independent teams did not show an interest and
the loop will just consist of fraternity teams plus one independent club.
The football tag loop is expected to be operated the same as last season
with very few changes in the rules.
Aitei -ning the first week of action completed, Cockrell commented,
"1 think Kappa Alpha and Sigma Nu look to be the toughest light now.
Lambda Chi Alpha could be strong once they get organized Lambda Chi
copped the fraternity loop last season and has dominated Intramural play
since frateroitii became established here.
Predictions of the Week
East Carolina will keep on rolling behind Emory. Speight & Com-
pany. The Bucs run head on into Catawba this weekend and with a root-
ing section supplied by the ECC band, it should be the Pirates by 18
points.
Carolina over State by 1; if we miss Tar Heels on this one we
will give up on them for season.

Charles Holiday Pushed To
Win Fall Table Tennis Tourney
Charles Holliday was the winner
in the Fall Quarter Novice Table
Teni - tournament, held September
4 in the College Union. Holliday de-
feated Bobby Hutchina in an exciting
final match. 29-27, 15-21, 21-14. The
tense first game saw Holliday lead-
ing 25-24 when Hutchina won two net
points to take the lead 26-25. How-
day's consistent top spin
attack field up under the pressure,
and lie came back to win the game
29-27, with a series of backhand and
forehand drives. In the second game
Hutchins' blocking defense and back-
hand smashes kept Holliday com-
pletely off balance most of the time.
The final game aaw Holliday mix
well placed push shots with flurries
of backhand and forehand drives, to
come back to take the title, 21-14.
In the semi-finals Holliday hit
through the deep defense of Nelson
Tugwell. 21 15 and 21-18. In the
second game Tugwell's chop defense,
from 10-15 feet bark oi the table,
seemed to have stopped Holliday's
attack, as Tugwell established a 15-
10 lead. At tin- point Holliday open-
ed up with a seiies of looping fore-
hand drives, and forehand kills, to
break up Tugwell's defense, and take
the game 21-18.
1" the othei semi-finals Hutchins
had little trouble outmaneuvering
the chop defense of Jerry Shackel-
ford 21-14 and 21-14. The longest
game of the tourney came in the
first round when Glenn Peacock de-
feated Dennis Creech 32-20. Pea-
cock then went on to win a game
from Hutchins before losing 12-21,
21-17, 17-21.

A powerful display of defensive
prowess, combined with the running
of John Tatum, spelled victory for
Fast Carolina's Freshmen Football
squad last Thursday night as they
overcame Frederick Junior College
by a score of 6-0 in ECC College
Stadium.
Tatum, former Northeastern Con-
ference standout from Elizabeth City,
held the offensive spotlight the en-
tire game, and it was he that set up
the Baby Buc's winning tally, when
early in the second quarter, he re-
turned a Frederick punt 35 yards to
put East Carolina in scoring position
on the Lion 15 yard line.
After three unsuccessful attempts
foi a first down, Tatum again led
the way by bulling through Frederick
defenders to give ECC a first down
on Frederick's three yard line. Full-
back Bill Strickland then cracked
over for the score. The attempt for
the conversion was blocked.
Coach Gary Mattocks, head JV
coach, seemed well pleased with his
team's performance in their first
game of the 1959 season. Mattocks
specially noted the fine defensive
work on the part of the line, which in
earlier practice sessions seemed to
be greatly lacking in depth.
Both teams appeared to be evenly
matched by the fact that neither
squad could do much with the other's
defense. Several times during the
game both teams drove to scoring
positions, but could not seem to hit
upon the right combination which
could push across a touchdown.
Although only one of his passes
connected, Frederick quarterback
Jerry Ellis a Goldsboio native, kept
East Caiolina defensive halfbacks on
their toes all night long. His passing
arm is very effective and should be
a great asset to future Frederick en-
ounters.
John Caddie was a Frederick of-
fensive standout, while Burt May,
former East Carolina student, and
Shelby West turned in stellar per-
formances in the defensive forward
wall for Frederick.
For Kast Carolina, Charles Rob-
erts, former Greenville Phantom grid
star, and James Strawbridge, a Wil-
liamston product, jid effective jobs
defensively while holding down half-
back and guard positions respective-
ly. I'aul Eilers, of Rocky Mount, also
turned a fine performance, both of-
fensively and defensively at tackle.
Also excelling in line play for the
Baby Bucs were Bobby Bumgard-
ner, Paul Taylor, and Murray Mac-
Diarmid. Dan Rouse guided the Pi-
rate offense at quarterback and dis-
played a fine talent for tricky ball
handling. John Tatum highlighted
the ground attack along with Full-
back Bill Strickland.
This week, the Baby Bucs travel to
Charleston, S.C. where they will do
battle with the Citadel freshmen
team. This game should be a signifi-
cant indicator as to the fortunes the
East Carolina Frosh will reap on the
1959 gridiron scene. The South Caro-
lina military men have always been
known to field a strong team, so the
outcome of this contest should be
important.

There is a treasure at the end of
the rainbow and Coach Jack Boone
and his Pirate grid warriors ap-
peared to be seeking this prized
ion tdis pa-t Saturday when
thej sent a touted Guilford leven
prawling to a 27-0 defeat.
Bottling up the publicized new
offense of the Quakers, Fast Caro-
lina rolled for a touchdown on the
third play of scrimmage and then
ted to their second straight vic-
tory and first North State triumph
of the young season.
It was Glenn Mass scampering for
his fourth touchdown of the season
that gave ECC the seniority over the
baffled Quaker outfit. The Wilson
dster sprinted 45 yards for the
ening touchdown and then Jerry
Carpenter booted the extra point.
The strong Pirate defensive wall
' down three Quaker threats
penetrating to the ECC three
before gaining their second touch-
down and putting the game out of
ei.
ferry Carpenter intercepted a
Brodie Baker pass and raced down
the sidelines for 5 yards and the
-econd tally. The extra point at-
tempt was no good hut the Bucs had
the upper hand which they were to
d for the remainder of the tilt.
fames Speight paced the attack
h produced the third score of
the evening. After Mac Thacker in-
tercepted a Quaker pass on the EC
33, Speight and George Turner
picked up sizable gains and a Ralph
Zehring pass put the ball in play on
the six. Speiyht went over on the
next play. Zehring passed to Bill
Cain for the two pointer and the
Bins led 21-U at intermission.
Bass climaxed the scoring in the
third period when he scored his
fifth TD of the season from four
yards out. The point was no good but
the Bins were well out of danger.
A couple of reservesTommy
Matthews and Melvin Riffripped
off a couple of long runs in the
final period to start an ECC drive
but a Bert Stafford pass was inter-
cepted to end the threat and also
the game.
