To N S Student Government
! at weekend, delegates from eight
member colleges of the North Statt
Student (iovernment Association were
at Last Carolina College for their

Committee Makes Play Choices
The committee for the publication
of a volume of plays from East Caro-
lina Collage, a project sponsored by
the East Carolina Playhouse, has
made final selections of plays to be
included.
The plays to be published and their
authors are: In Remembrance by
Lloyd Bray Jr October Wife by
lames Ferrell, The Wedding by Max-
il'e Hurt Williams, Night of Decision
by iAnn Howard, Tumbleweed by Con-
nie Erwin, and Heil, Hitler by Sherry

votes. Speight will take over his pres-
idential chores before the end of the
quarter.
Ruby Bradshaw was the deciding
winner in the contest for the vice-
chairmanship of the Women's Judic-
iary. She won by a small margin over
Markie Smith. The secretary and
member-at-large positions of the wo-
men's judiciary were also decided ir
the run-offs. Gail Walker, who will

At Workshop Here
Dr. Henry J. Warman, professor of
geography, at Clark University, Wor-
cester, Mass will be principal speak-
er at a workshop in geography at
East Carolina College April 2, The
meeting will be the first of its kind
at the college.
While at East Carolina, Dr. War-

which is entitled "Criss-crossing the
Andes will be illustrated with col-
or slides taken on Dr. Warman's re-
cent trip to Peru.
The purpose of the geography
workshop is to stimulate interest in
geography and to present an oppor-
tunity to learn better techniques and
methods through hearing and seeing
prepared papers, demonstrations, ex-
hibits, and panels revolving around
the field of geography. Dr. Robert
E. Cramer of the East Carolina fac-
ulty is chairman in charge of arrange-
ments.
Other speakers who will partici-
pate in the workshop p. gram in-
clude President Leo W. Jenkins of
East Carolina; Homer Lassiter of
the N. C. State Department of Public
Instruction; staff members at East
Carolina College; and teachers and
supervisors in public schools of the
state.
Dr. Warman's field of special study
and research are weather and clim-
ate, geography in education, human
and eu'tural geography, and Latin
America. He has done field work in
this country, Central America, the
Eastern (Caribbean, and Northwest-
c rn South America.
He has participated in geograpny
workshop programs at the University
of British Columbia, the University
of Southern California, Northwestern
University, and the University of
Colorado.
Organizations in which he has held
the office of president are the Na-
tional Council of Geography Teach-
ers; Gamma Theta Upsilon, national
professional geography fraternity;
nnd the New England Association of
Social Studies Teachers.
Dr. Warman is the author of a
textbook for teachers of geography
and of approximately fifty published
articles in the field of geography.

Correspondence Indicates 'Rebel'
Winter Issue As Most Successful
According to the number of letters
received by the Rebel staff, the win-

the two year history of the literary
magazine.
Letters came from such prominent
people as former president Harry S.
Truman and North Carolina Governor
Luther Hodges, and former students
who are now residing as far west as
California.
Dr. Donald Murray, advisor to the
Cniversity of Illinois literary maga-
zine said, "We (the magazine) don't
have the sense of mission or theme
that the Rebel seems to have

( aro'ina stated Oliver Williams,
Sunday editor of the Rocky Mount

'It does well in expressing literary
and artistic accomplishments of stu-
dents and this is often difficult to
carry to outsiders
Henry Belk, editor of the Goldsboro
Argus and member of the E.C. Board
of Trustees, considered the Rebel to
be, of the highest tradition
of magazine publishing
The literary magazine was an-
nounced as a definite asset in Earl
E. Beach's letter which said, "the ex-
cel 'ont work you are doing with this
publication will pay off to each of
you as individuals. It is certainly an
excellent medium of advertising for
East Carolina College. Each of you
are to be highly commended.
The Rebel exchanges magazines
with all colleges in North Carolina
who also publish a literary magazine
and also several quarterly copies and
many, such as the Charlotte News
and Observer and The Greensboro
Daily News, carry articles on the
Rebel.
Dan Williams, editor, said, "We
send our magazine to most of the
major publishing houses and they
send us the books free of charge
which are used by the Rebel book
reviewers. So far this year they've
sent us about $120 worth of books

Why Not Let The Girls
Start Honor System?
At a recent meeting of the Dean's Ad-
visory Council, a complaint arose concern-
ing the office hours in the girls' dormito-
ries The offices in all the dormitories are
closed from 12:30 until 1:30 and from 5:30
until 6:30 weekdays. In addition to these
hours, they are closed from 12:30 until 2:00
on Sunday. Also on weekdays there are no
counselors in the office from 4:00 until 6:30
to sign the girls out.
If i girl wishes to sign out during these
hours she must go to Jarvis hall to get her
slip okayed. This is highly inconvenient and,
we feel, unnecessary.
We realize that housemothers and dorm
counselors must eat, but then there are a
number of businessmen who eat lunch and
never close their place of business . . . they
have someone to substitute for them while
they are out.
The dormitories could provide someone
to alternate eating hours with the regular
counselors and thus make the messy business
of signing in and out much more convenient.
However, this is a mediocre solution to
the problem. It will jnean extra work.
trouble, and expense to those responsible for
the dormitories.
We propose another way entirely . . .
Just don't have anybody to sign the cards
any of the time. Let each girl sign herself
in and out. Bv doing this, the tedious pro-
cedure which housemothers and counselors
go through each day can be avoided. Time
and trouble can be saved.
In addition, this new system will put
the girls on their honor. It will set up a pro-
gram under which they are assumed to be
honest and will deal with them accordingly.
It will allow the girls a chance to demon-
strate honesty and integrity and will take
much of the sting out of necessary but dis-
tasteful procedure.
Not only will it accomplish these things
but it could also be the first step toward a
complete honor system at Ea3t Carolina. If
we are ever- to have an effective honor sys-
tem here, it must begin somewhere. This is
the perfect place. We contend that by grad-
ually initiating an honor system, the ulti-
mate goal can be more successfully accom-
plished by indoctrinating the students to
such a system slowly.

'Ere's Mud In Your Eye'
Apathetic
Students Show
Attitude Towards
Extracurricular Work
College
It is quite disturbing to note the degree
of academic apathy on sampus. However
there is another aspect of apathy which is
disturbing at East Carolina. This is the sur-
prising fact that the students are even ap-
athetic toward extra curricular activities.
A good example of this is the recent Stu-
dent Government election. About one third
of the student body took enough interest in
the SGA elections to vote. This would seem
to point out that two thirds of the students
here either have not taken enough interest
in student government to find out that they
are actually governed by it, or they know it
and fust don't care.
It seems that anyone who must spend
$15.00 each academic year on student gov-
ernment activities would become interested
in that government if only to see that he got
full value for that money.
As bad, if not worse, than this situation
is the fact that only a very small number of
students participate directly in student gov-
ernment and related activities. In the recent
election, some of the offices only had one
candidate to file for them.
On our own staff there are only a hand-
full of students who take enough interest to
participate. Last year the East Carolinian
spent $8700.00 of student money. This money
came from the $15.00 per quarter activity
fee that each student must pay. Why didn t
they come up and take advantage of their
money? Who knows? Who knows why they
don't'take part in many of the school ac-
tivities. .
At present the East Carolinian has va-
cancies on the staff for writers, proofread-
ers, photographer assistants, typists, circu-
lation assistants, and exchange personnel.
We can use people in all phases of newspaper
work. Yet onlv a very few ever apply for the
positions and of these few about half of them
are really interested in working. The rest
just come along with friends and stop com-
ing after two or three days.
There are six paying jobs on the East
Carolinian staff with salaries ranging from
$50 to $125.00 per quarter. These are open
to those who work hard enough to merit such
a job. . , ,
In addition to direct financial reward,
qualified staff members are treated to ex-
pense paid trips to press conferences each
year Last year nine members of the staff
went to New York City for three days . . .
compliments of the college SGA (you, the
students, paid for it).
This year the conference will be in Chi-
cago- again the staff will travel at the ex-
pense of the students. These trips are in ad-
dition to visits to other schools for local press
meetings.
All these rewards are available to any
student who takes enough interest and works
hard enough to merit them.
This is only one branch of campus activi-
ties . . . others include the year book, the
Rebel, the student senate, etc.
The field is open, the rewards are many
and worth while . . . why don't you partici-
pate?
Dear Editor,
For a long time now I have had a
pood many things to say and no time
to sit down and put them on paper.
Since my time is still limited I shall
say the hel' with the form or proce-
dure, and simply list them numeri-
cally.
1. I believe that it is about time
someone on the faculty took the res-
ponsibility of seeing that a sidewalk
is laid between the gymnasium exit
on Tenth Street and College Hill
Drive. While the faculty, the city
authorities, and the state .argue over
who is responsible, some student will
probably forfeit his life. It never
ceases to amaze me how men wifch,
what we consider great responsibility,
make a habit of "passing the buck
I am not laying the blame on tne
shoulder of the faculty, but rather at-
tempting to spark someone to action.
2. The second concern has to do
with politics, a subject that I would
like to avoid, but just as the sick man
must vomit to feel relief so I also
must spew my troubles.
I won't be here next year at elec-
tion time to ee what is happening
but I certainly hope that the students
won't be quite as vexed with the pos-
ters. Posters are excellent in their
place, but their place is not in the
classroom on the front bulletin board.
As for the actual election proce-
dures, I must admit that if your can-
didate hasn't any chance to win, the
ext best thing to do is to eliminate
the opposition. There .are many ways
of accomplishing this, but I couldn't
lelp but notice one in particular muti-
lation. Though I may not have been
in full agreement with the platform
of my ultimate candidate, my decision
was greatly influenced by this one
factor.
1 may be old fashioned, but I be-
lieve that if a person has a good plat-
form and is honest he is the man
tcr the job. When I witness a "pub-
licity" Btftn tearing down the op-
ponents' posters, I cannot help but
feel that his candidate must have an
awful weak platform, else why the
i nderhandedness.
Classifying the candidates as I did,
in terms of their honesty, I found only
one person fit for the office. This
person however, will probably not get
into office. So I held onto a sinking
ship. No matter though, at least I felt
justified in doing so.
This last article is in regards
to the trite matters that .are put into
this column. (This seems a little
ironic, since I imagine some people
will think this letter trite) I have
never seen a more childish reaction
to what I term "nothing than the
retaliation in last week's column re-
garding the statement made by Mr.
Walker. This was no more than one
huge conglomerate of words, and no
matter how hard I tried, I could get
nothing out of them. It would appear
that each of the three persons contri-
buting to this article, after having
exhausted their vocabularies, evident-
ly felt they had struck back at "that
mean man who stepped on my foot
In short, if it took three people
coming together to form something,
that was nothing, there must have
teen very little to begin with.

Dear Editor,
Are Republicans obsolete on cam-
pus?
There are some qualified persons
on campus who may be able to an-
swer this question, but as of this
moment the question is still unan-
swered in the minds of a few in-
terested followers of political par-
ties here at Bast Carolina College.
As everyone knows this year is
an election year in the United States
and voters as well as non-voters
should be informed exactly what an
election and consequently Republi-
can victory will mean to students
here at DCC. This as well as other
problems will be primary concern in
what we hope will be the establish-
ment of The Young Republicans
Club of East Carolina College.
In past years there has been a Re-
pub'ican movement on campus, but
due to the lack of interest the club
was disbanded. Interest in any club
is stimulated by its members whether
it be social, religious, political, etc.

(EDITOR'S NOTE: Hideo Kusa-
nma, author of the following article
and an exchange student here from
Japan, tells something of the cus-
toms and activities of college stu-
dents in his native country.)
Bv HIDEO KUSAMA
In Japan most college students,
who succeeded in passing the hard
entrance examination, have to face
how to open their own way under
the mass-communication and mass-
production. On the other hand, col-
lege life must be the paradise for
students, for it probably is the only
time that allows them to enjoy their
voung days a much as they please
away from the real society like "horse
race
In a land of nearly the same size
as California, there are more than
five hundred colleges and universi-
ties in which some study hard, some
don't. The standard of government
supported colleges is rather differ-
ent from that of private colleges.
The ratio between private colleges
and government colleges is six to
four. The balance between colleges of
art and colleges of science is
the same. This unbalanced ratio is
becoming the chief problem of the
Japanese college education.
The education in private colleges
is made completely under the mass-
production in which a hundred kinds
of club activities are prepared on the
campus for the students. It does not
always become helpful for a student's
life, but sometimes means that stu-
dents are given too many opportuni-
ties to tempt them into various ac-
tivities.
So far as Japanese colleges are con-
cerned, it is very hard to enter, but
easy to graduate.
College System
The semester system is generahy
accepted in most colleges of Japan.
The entrance period is limited to the
spring season of cherry blossom. The
mimimum units necessary for grad-
uation are 124.
Usually students complete almost
all of them during the time of fresh-
man, sophomore and junior, and use
the final time of senior for efforts
to complete a graduation thesis.
Student Activities
Student activity is conducted by
three departments, which are Student
Standing Association (which com-
pares to East Carolina's SGA), Cul-
tural Clubs, and Sports Clubs. About
twenty per cent of school expenses is
for the club activities.
Underwritten are chief clubs: In
Cultural Clubs are the English Speak-
ing Society, Drama Study Club, In-
ternational Relations Study Club,
Social Study Club, History Study
Club, Student Christian Association,
Music Club, Classic Arts Study Club,
Broadcasting Study Club, Foreign
Language Study Club, Literature
Study Club, Education Study Club,
Movie Study Club, Economy Study
Club, Law Study Club, and Stock

In Sports Clubs there are Baseball,

ing, Basketball, Hiking, Swimming,
Tennis, Ping Pong, Wrestling, Drive
Tlub, Horse riding, Judo, Kendo,
Fencing, etc.

second game to the northerners 18-6.

earned his first victory in the Pirates
home opener on Monday, while Johnny
Ellen, also a sophomore, was credited
with the Tuesday afternoon loss.
Giving: his Ya1 visitors a sportinjr
chance, Crayton had control trouble
most of the day. walking seven, but
each time squirmed out of the Rull-
dogs grip with some tight clutch
pitching. The stocky southpaw also
struck out seven, and left eleven Yale
runners stranded on base.
East Caro'ina. playing before a
home crowd estimated at close to
500. exploded for three runs in the
first inning to take a lead it never
lelinquished.
With one out, Jimmy Martin tapped
cut a single sandwiched between walks
to Wilber Castoloe and Gary Pierce.
An infield throwing error allowed
Walk Cockrell to reach first and
Casteloe to score from third. Martin
was thrown out at home on Glenn
Pass" grounder but rieht fielder Jerry
Ta'penter sent two runners acoss the
plate with a mg double to right-
center.
Yale committed two costly errors
in the fifth inning to allow EC to add
one more tally. In the sixth, the Pi-
rates capitalized on Yale wildness to
score three more runs and sew up
their first victory.
Casteloe and Pierce reached base
on singles and with two out. reliefer
Tony Murphy lost all conception of
the whereabouts of home plate, wa'k-
ine four straight batters and cutting
loose with a wild pitch that let in
another run. Murphy finally got out
of the jam when Crayton grounded
out.
Yale, still reioicing over three im-
pressive victories at Camp Lejeune.

fourth innings hut were never able to
hit Crayton with any consistency.
The Bulldogs scored in the second
when Pete Lindley led off with a
looping double to center field and
scampered home on Paul Porvasnik's
single to left. Then Crayton elimi-
nated the Yale threat by forcing the
next two players to pop up.
Two walks and a sacrifice put trie
Greensboro native in trouble once
again in the fourth, but the infield
grounders by Pill Leckanby and Herb
Hodos produced only one run.
In becoming the first East Caro-
lina pitcher to go the route this
season, Crayton scattered five hits in
the seven-inning game. It was his
eisjhth victory in an EC uniform,
winning seven of eight decisions last
year.

1 y for five hits and added two more
off his successor. Tony Murphy. Gary
Pierce. the conference's top batter
in 1959, collected two hits in the vie-
lory while the others were sprinkled
over the .Pirate lineup.
Besides Carpenter's double, Spencer
Caylord had the on'y other extra base
1 low for the Bucs. A sophomore,
Ciaylord lapped a triple in the second
inning.
Lindley had a two-bagger for Yale
in the WCOIld and Hodos did likewise
in the third.

doudburst hindered Johnny Ellen in
t't top half of the first inning, in
which Yale was able to put across
