Dr. Prewett presented a chal- i mre to the group to strive for great- er efficiency and fulfillment through tudent government work on their respective campuses. The business session was called to lor by Association president, John Cailihan of Catawba College. The tin item of business was the nomi- ' tion of officers for the coming year. tawba College was selected as the rite for the central office of the As- sociation. After lunch in the college cafe- teria, the visiting delegates were taken on a tour of the campus. Bob Dean of Western Carolina College was unanimously elected to head the ciatiou. Dave Mustian of Atlantic Christian College will serve in the capacity of vice president. Mary John Best of East Carolina and Dale Brown of High Point College will be sec- retary and treasurer respectively for the approaching school year. Prior to the afternoon business meeting the group was divided into discussion teams, and topics were as- By SUE SPARK MAN signed. These small groups exchang- ed ideas and discussed problems com- mon to all colleges such as better school spirit, recreation, project, rules, and the judicial system. The climax of the meeting came Saturday evening when the visitors were entertained at a banquet in the new south cafeteria. Dr. and Mrs. James Tucker, Mr, and Mrs. James Mallory, and Dr. and Mrs. Clinton Prewett were among the guests. Fol- lowing the meal served by the cafe- teria staff, Barney West introduced Dr. Robert Holt, dean of the college, who was the principal speaker of the evening. After an interesting and entertain- ing speech by Dr. Holt, John Cailihan, outgoing president of the Association, presented two plaques in recognition of the most outstanding Student Gov- ernment and the most outstanding C, president of the past year. Dn'e Brown, who received the plaques for his college, expressed appreciation to the Association for this recognition and for the help afforded his college by the other student government as- sociations. The newly elected officers were installed and the retiring pre- sident made a short speech summar- izing his term of office. After the banquet a dance was held in Wright auditorium in honor of the guests. Sunday morning a short closing ses- sion met in Rawl Auditorium. At this meeting the newly elected officers presided and the spring meeting of the Association was adjourned. 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 Maske. The playwrights are now engaged in a final revision of manuscripts, when the plays will be submitted for final approval to the committee con- fisting of Leigh Dobson, Mr. Robert Rickert, and Dr. J. A. Withey, ohair- man. In Remembrance received an award Cadets Train To Earn Pilot's License IS. Air Force pilots :h AFROTC Cadet Group ina College recently Dg to earn their te Pilots License.

Leon Manning of the Detachment Staff, assisted by the Cadet Operations Officer, was lesponsible for the scheduling and over-all administrative details of the program. Air Force thinking behind such a program as that offered at East Carolina is that the cadet who suc- cessfully completes it is much better prepared to meet the challenge of Air Force pilot training with its high performance aircraft than some- cr.e with no flying experience. two years ago when it was presented in the Carolina Dramatic Association One-Act Play competition. Its author, Lloyd Bray Jr is now studying thea- ter at the Pasadena Playhouse. October Wife, recently presented on campus and at the State College Fine Arts Festival, was praised here and received a high rating at the Festival. Playwright James Ferrell, now work- ing on a full length play, teaches English at Farmvil'e High School. The other plays "have not been pro- duced, but the Playhouse plans to present them before the book goes to press. Science Fair Begins Here Friday; High Schools Participate The Northeastern District Science Fair for junior and senior high school students will take place here Friday, April 1. Students from 22 counties in this section of the state are expected to enter their work in the fair, Dr. Gro- ver W. Everett of the College Science Department, district director of the event, has announced. "From correspondence from high school teachers in this area Dr. Everett said, "I am led to believe that there is more interest in science fairs this year than there has been before The fair at East Carolina College is one of eight similar events which will be staged in North Carolina col- leges and universities during March and April. Sponsored by the North Carolina Academy of Science, the fairs have the purpose of discover- ing and encouraging boys and girls who are interested in the various fields of science.

West Loses In Run-Off Winner Assumes Duties By End Of Spring Term After a close race between James Speight and Barney West in the initial Student Government election, Mr. Speight rallied in the run-offs to defeat West by over three hundred 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 take over as secretary, was the vic- tor over Dee Davis. Five girls started in the member-at-large competition, but only two, Beth Baker and Gracic Barber, were in the run-offs. Beth won by over two hundred votes. In the original March 24 ejections Hill Nichols was selected to the vice president's position and Barbara Jones was chosen to take over the secre- tary's duties. Charles Munn will move into the treasurer's seat with Robert A. Ward taking over as assistant treasurer. Unopposed Gloria Hofler will serve as historian.

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- man will also speak on the Danforth Lecture Series March 31 and will ap- pear before various student groups April 1. Of special interest to many will be an informal lecture by Dr. Warren Thursday March 31 at the Joyner Library Auditorium. The lecture, 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. JIM SPEIGHT urer of the women's judiciary. The remaining men's judiciary po- sitions were copped by Paul Gibbs, vice-chairman; Carlyle Humphrey, secretary-treasurer, and Michael C. Wilkinson and Michael W. Keziah, members-at-large. Approximately 2,000 students cast their votes in the preliminary election, but the number was narrowed by about 500 in the final voting. Correspondence Indicates 'Rebel' Winter Issue As Most Successful According to the number of letters received by the Rebel staff, the win- ter issue was the most successful in 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 "No doubt your budget will not al- low it but the magazine should be ent to everyone interested in East ( aro'ina stated Oliver Williams, Sunday editor of the Rocky Mount .newspaper, who continued by saying, '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 Dorm Rooms For Fall Men students now living in the dormitory who wish to reserve their rooms for Fall quarter 1960, should do so at the Housing Of- fice on the dates indicated below: Jones Hall residents April 6 through April 8, 1960. Umstead Hall residentsApril 9 through April 2, 1960. All men dormitory students will be housed on the southeast campus beginning Fall quarter 1960. If there are particular rooms desired in Jones Hall, reservations should be made as soon as possible within the dates given above. I I . COLLEGE UNION PRIZES . . .

PAGE TWO BAST CAROCINIAH THURSDAY, MARCH 31, 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. To The Editor 'Old Fashioned9 Spokesman Talks About Politics '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. (Name withheld by request) College System In Japan Japanese To Enter Hard Writer Says It s But Easy To Graduate ar 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. An old adage worth remembering, "All work and "no play makes Jaik a DULL Boy With this in mi-d, if any one is still reading this arti- cle and is interested in forming this (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 Study Club, etc. In Sports Clubs there are Baseball, Football, Volleyball, Mountain climb- ing, Basketball, Hiking, Swimming, Tennis, Ping Pong, Wrestling, Drive Tlub, Horse riding, Judo, Kendo, Fencing, etc. A Typical Day (Sketch of a typical college life in Japan.)

Sophomore pitcher Larry Crayfon 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.

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. The Bucs touched loser Bill Lechan- 1 y for five hits and added two more off his successor. Tony Murphy.

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.
