LITTLE MAN ON.CAMPUS
With the resignation of Dr. John B.
Mes3ick last fall many people felt an era
termed "The Growing Tears" ended for
East Carolina. Dr. Messick, in his 12 years
of service, was instrumental in providing
many additions to the facilities of the col-
lege. Twelve years of experience can teach
a man an awful lot about political maneuver-
ing and, consequently, make him an able per-
son in handling affairs such as budget re-
quests to the legislature. However, with a new
man in office there is no n:ed for the "Grow-
ing Years" to end.
Tomorrow Dr. Leo W. Jenkins will be
inaugurated as the sixth president of East
Carolina in the presence of numerous people
representing various leels of influence
throughout the state.
These people will see the effects of Dr.
Messick'l twelve years of work. They will
also see the new man take over and, as peo-
ple do, will judge him and East Carolina, to
an extent, by their first impression. We
wonder just what this impression will be.
Will they realize just how many gradu-
ates East Carolina turns out each year? Will
they realize the implications of a freshman
class which has been estimated at 1800 as
compared with last year's 1400? Have they
heard that East Carolina's new nursing
school which has not even gone into opera-
tion yet already has three times more appli-
cants than it can accommodate? Have they
considered that we could turn out qualified
personnel with Master's degrees in business
if we were permitted? Do they know that our
library's budget is pitifully insufficient when
compared to its needs, that our infirmary is
overcrowded and understaffed, and that
elf-help students who serve as staff, fac-
ulty, and library assistants are paid seventy
five cents per hour while day laborers with-
out high school educations are paid one dol-
lar per hour in most places within the state.
We hope they realize and understand these
and many more things.
We also hope they decide Dr. Jenkins to
be a capable administrator and will react to
him as such in the future, for no one man can
build and maintain a satisfactory education-
al institution without the cooperation and
support of his peers and of the administra-
tors under whom he must work.
We hope the legislature, the members of
the board of higher education, and the others
who influence education in this state will
get an impression of East Carolina that will
make them realize our needs and our poten-
tial to such an extent that they will support
us and support Dr. Jenkins and his program.
We hope thev see our need for even further
expansion and will respond to this need when
the time comes.
We hope Dr. Jenkins (as we think he
will) carries out a program of not only striv-
ing for a growing East Carolina, but a ma-
turing East Carolina. We hope he is working
for an East Carolina that will produce quali-
ty as well as quantity. It takes many years
to establish a tradition. East Carolina's half
century of existence has witnessed so much
change that there has been little time for
establishing tradition. However, we hope the
next several years will bring about a change
of attitude which exists in the minds of
many. It's time for East Carolina to stop
being thought of as "a good little ole school
and be respected in the same way the big
four" are in North Carolina educational cir

The production of William Shakes-
peare's iA MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S
DREAM by the EOC Playhouse and
the Greenville Little Theater in the
Flanagan SyWar Theater on Friday
ind Saturday nights of last week
once again proved that this 362 year
eld play can still provide excellent
entertainment. The production com-
bined highly imaginative scenes rem-
iniscent of old English masques with
the cleverly acted love-tangle (which
rivals an operetta plot for confusion.
A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM
is one of the most popular plays that
Shakespeare wrote, performance wise,
and its famous low-comedy play with-
in a. play, "Pyramus and Thisbe has
always been a favorite of amateur
'heater groups. The entire play was
n great favorite of the Victorian aud-
iences, and it was given frequent per-
formances on a lavish scale.
Leigh Dobson, who played Helena,
gave the most unique performance
of the evening. It was refreshing to
see her truly comical and unorthodox
IHiformance of the attractive, but
unsophisticated Athenian girl. This
part is usually quite insignificant be-
cause actresses often play Helena as
an insipid, whining victim of unre-
warded 'ove. In Act III, Scene 2, Hel-
ena's clever taunting of the beauti-
ful Hermia, who suddenly finds her-
self repulsed by both Lysander and
Demetrius, was very natural and fun-
iv. This scene is usually an incongru-
ous change of character for the Hel-
ena who has been simply a love-sick
girl clinging to Demetrius. Not so
with Miss Dobsonthe scene cli-
maxed her spirited, slightly wanton
performance.
William Dixon as Bottom, the lov-
able ham who usually steals the show,
was very pop:i'ar with the audience.
He played the part with enthusiasm,
and Bottom's vaulting ego never
wavered a minute. The ass head,
which Puck gives him for his little
affair with Titania, truly climaxed
his character development. Though
Mr. Dixon was hi'arious in the "Py-
ramus and Thisbe" skit, we have seen
it done better.
Karen Best rs Hermia and Marsh-
all Braddy as Lysander were both
quite good. Mr. Braddy, in particular,
conveyed a youthfulness that the
other lovers did not have. His sincere
and slightly rrtive manner was con-
vincing. Karen Best was a very pret-
tv Hermia and was believably patri-
cian but tenacious.
As Titania and Oberon Mrs. Lois
Garren and James Gillikin were won-
derfully graceful and fairy-like. All
of their movements and actions con-
veyed an animated ethereality. They
said their lines with great expres-
sion. Mr. Gillikin's little invocations
ar he squeezed the magic flowers
over the lover's and Titania's eyes
sounded almost charmed, and Mrs.
Garren consistently maintained a re-

fined diction and regal ring In her
voice that befitted a queen of fairies.
The whole court of fairies was
sprightly and supernatural. Their
dancing was not so imaginative,
though, and most of the choreography
was rather uninteresting.
Doris Robbins was a lively Puck
and was about as devilish as one could
ask; she reported her mischief to
Oberon with delightful glee. This was
the first time we had seen a female
Puck. In spite of fond memories of
such superb male Pucks as Roddy
McDowell and Stanley Holloway, we
honestly enjoyed Miss Robbin's per-
formance.
Mrs. Barbara Dixon of Greenvil'e
was a statuesque Hippolyta, fiancee
of Duke Theseus, played by Mahlon
Coles of the college staff. Kenneth
Harris of Ayden played Demetrius
with masculine assertiveness.
Richard Heller and Norman Pierce,
both of Greenville, filled the parts of
Philostrate, master of revels, and
Egeus, Hermia's father, respectively.
Mr. Heller was an articulate Philos-
trate.
The costumes for this production
of Shakepeare's comedy were really
beautiful. The Greek characters wore
traditional garb that was very color-
ful, and the fairies looked marvelous
in sheer tunic type costumes with
aerial looking ornaments that quiver-
ed constantly. The fairies' make-up
was equally interesting, and Mr. Gil-
likin and Mrs. Garren could have
passed for a true nix or nixie.
For once the Mendelssohn inciden-
tal music was not used in toto, and
the light, impressionistic music of
Jacques Ibert was welcome.
It is impossible to mention every-
one who helped to make this produc-
tion a success but we have to men-
tion Dr. Joseph iA. Withey, the dir-
ector, who adds another feather to
his cap with this production.

considering the various candidates
for state government positions. One
of the candidates for governorand

these same taxpayers will realize that they

Dear Editor,
In last week's editorial, "Ameri-
can's School System Fails in Real
Education Robert N. Hutchins, for-
mer Chancellor of the University of
Chicago, states, "True education is
ihe improvement of men through
helping them learn to think for them-
selves This is not true education,
in my opinion, because it does not
constitute total development of the
individual. I realize learning to
think is a very important aspect of
education. However, the human or-
ganism still retains the structures
and biological patterns that appeared
long ago.
It is these same circulatory, res-
l iratory, digestive, excretory, mus-
cular, and nervous systems which
still demand vigorous excerise and
work in some form to maintain them-
selves. I make note of this to point
out that the development of the men-
tal being is controlled by the devel-
opment of the physical being and
vice versa. The lifetime working po-
tential of the individual depends on
a balanced physical and mental pro-
gram. Medical physiology, psychology,
socio'ogy and modern philosophy all
lecognize the fact of organismic
unity. In other words the dichotomy
of body and mind has been abandoned
by many thoughtful people in these
fields.
I feel that a person basically, or
maybe subconsciously, desires to ex-
press himself both physically and
mentally. A person who is unable to
adjust to the physical and mental
demands of his environment, in my
opinion, is in serious danger of be-
coming emotionally unbalanced. la
not true education attained only when
the individual is mentally, physically,
?nd emotionally competent? That a
student is born only if he has devel-
oped a desire to continue his intel-
lectual and athletic habits after grad-
uation.
I am reminded of an education!
principle. "It is better to teach by
example rather than by precept I
challenge all educators and potential
educators to first take inventory of
their personal physical condition,
namely their abdominal regions and
superficial profiles, before criticiz-
ing the physical and mental develop-
ments of American youth.
In closing, the fields of education
do have many 'specialists' making

fare of the society. Unfortunately,
however, because of battle lines be-
tween different factions there is gen-
erally little respect shown for the
importance of each field in the edu-
cational program I would like to see
more leadership designed to bring the
groups together if only for the sake
! the student.

Dear Editor,
In a recent issue of the East Caro-
linian I read the announcement con-
cerning May Day. I believe it read
to this effect"due to recent years
of poor attendance and little interest
on the campus of East Carolina, the
S.G.A. has decided to discontinue the
annual affair. Therefore, May Day
will not be held this year. It is an
activity of great expense both to
the girls who participate and the
S.G.A. Thi money spent on May Day
wild be used for an occasion that will
be enjoyed by many more
I am certainly disappointed in the
spirit of the S.G.A. Whose fault was
it that it was not a success? Once
again we go back to "school spirit
Instead of fighting and conquering
the problem with workthe SX5.A,
retreat! Why? This doesnt sound
like the S.G.A. of 1959. Surely on
year hasn't made that much differ-
ence.
As a past queen I can truthfully
say I did not mind the expense. It
was an honor to be crowned May
Queen at East Carolina in 1969.
May I sincerely add that I hope I
v. ill not be the reigning May Queen
forever. It is up to the student body
to select a queen for 1961. It is too
late for the queen of 1960.
Sincerely,
Elizabeth Bowman Hauser
May Queen of '59
Dear Editor,
As a heavy user of the college li-
brary I would like to temper the crit-
icism, perhaps mainly justifiable,
now appearing in your pages with a
few bouquets. I have always found
the library staff co-operative and
knowledgeable; I consider the Librar-
ian highly efficient, wise, and com-
petent, by no means the rule among
our administrators. A rather modest,
but excellent and expensive, collec-
tion of learned journals has been de-
veloped, but unfortunately it is prov-
ing too rich for the intellectual level
of the campus and is drawing scant
attention. In my humble judgment
our library is far above and beyond
the needs consonant with the academ-
ic standards of this institution.

Dear Editor,
In last week's East Carolinian, one
of your columnists attempted what
seems to be a first try at art critic-
ism. I would like to offer a few lines
from Concerning the Spiritual in Art
by Wassily Kandinsky, one of the
most influential artists of our time.
I trust they will help the columnist
in his new work.
"Art cannot be explained, one can
only help towards its understanding.
But the observer must be sensitive.
It is the same with music. How many
people there are who are bored at a
concert when listening to Bach ot
Mozart!

heart and a free spirit to admire

Dear Editor,
In a recent Issue of the East Caro-
linian it was stated "American's
School System Pails in Real Educa-
tion" and how inadequate the require-
ments for a teaching certificate were.
The attitude shown, I think, is an
example of the general educator who
often is antagonistic to physical ed-
ucation today in much the same way
as teachers of the classics were an-
tagonistic to science a century ago.

Princeton University in 1945. After
1958 the fellowships were under-
written jointly by the thirty-seven
universities comprising the Associa-
tion of American Universities and by
the Carnegie Corporation and the
General Education Board. In the
spring of 1957 a significant grant
from the Ford Foundation made it
possible to increase the number of
fellowships to one thousand a year.
Nomination by a college faculty
member is the first encouragement a
student receives. Through a careful
process of selection, including a per-
sonal interview, a thousand fellows
are then elected from the nominees.
These fel'ows are fully supported
through their first year of graduate

Outstanding college seniors and
graduates who have not yet entered
a liberal arts graduate school are
eligible for nomination.
Lambda Chi Alpha captured first

ences in the field of drama.
Hull, who is now an entertainment
specialist with the U.S. Army, Augs-

(EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the sec-
ond part of a series in which our re-
porter has asked various campus per-
sonalities "What is good, and what
is bad about our library We have
selected at random from their com-
ments in order to present both sides
of the picture as objectively as pos-
sible.)
By BETTY MAYNOR
These publications are indexed in
j monthly catalogue, United States
Government Publications, and may be
acquired at the desk by filling out a
call slip with the classification num-
ber in this catalogue. We handle gov-
ernment documents exactly as they
do in all colleges and universities.
Q. How do you explain the hap-
hazard treatment of materials in the
North Carolina room?
A. I have heard many statements
which contradict this question. Most
people feel that we are too strict in
the hand'ing of this material. We
watch these materials more closely
than any others in the library.
We are not systematically collect-
ing North Carolina materials. We col-
lect them incidentally because the
legislature would not appropriate
money for us to duplicate the excel-
lent collection at the University of
North Carolina.
Q. Why is our collection of micro-
film, and the equipment to use it,
not larger?
A. We are gradually increasing
our collection of micro-film. We are
getting The Daily Reflector and the
New York Times. We need more read-
ing machines, but we realize this and
will have them as our budget allows
their addition. At present there is
tnty one request which we have not
been able to fill and that is for The
News and Observer. We hope to have
this next year.
Q. Why has the Library Commit-
tee met only once this year in a token
meeting?
A. During previous years we have
tried to have three meetings, one each
auarter. As Chairman of this com-
mittee, I did not have any new is-
sues to bring forth, or I would have
called other meetings.
However, I do not feel that our
meeting this year was a token meet-
ing. At that meeting we decided that
there should be members of other de-
partments represented on this com-
mittee. The committee decided: 1) to
let any member of the faculty order
hooks rather than allocate funds to
the departments, and 2) that the lib-
iary would not buy motion pictures,
slides, or records with the $51,000
book fund. However, we decided to
buy micro-film from this fund.
Q. Why are all magazines not
available in the Periodical room, and
why is there no more control over
hooks and magazines disappearing?
A. Approximately 50 of the lat-
est issues of periodicals are now on
the shelf. Those that aren't there are
the ones that would disappear the day
after they were put out.
Before we moved out of the old
building (now the music hall), we
set up a reserve reading room and
had a student on duty all of the time
to check on the books. Within a quar-
ter, the faculty and students were
begging us to change back to the
previous system. Many of the stu-
dents would drop a book out of a
window and then go around and pick
it up.
I believe that students should have
access to the collection, and if any-
one can come up with a system which
would allow this, I will gladly go
along with it.
However, you just cannot depend
on students to check students. In
order to establish an efficient check-
system you would have to hire pro-
fessional guards as they do in some
of the metropolitan libraries.
Q. Why is there little attempt to
control excessive noise in the library?
A. I feel that college students are
eld enough to know how to act here,
therefore I don't feel like it should
be up to the librarians, unless in ex-
treme cases, to curb the noise. I feel
that the Student Government should
assist in removing this problem from
the library.
Q. Why should the radio and tele-
vision studios he in the library when
additional study rooms are urgently
needed?
A. Actually our location of the
communications center follows a new
innovation in library planning. Since
looks are as oiuch a means of com-
munication as radio and television,
the newest trend is to have radio and
television in the library as Audio-
Visual Education.
We rea'ize that we are crowded
nd considering that this library was
lanned in 1949 for a student enroll-
ment of 1600, I think we are doing as
well as we can.
Since 1957 we have made requests
to the legislatures for a new wing
(on east side). The first floor would
include more study room and a re-
served reading room, and the second
floor would include music listening
rooms and seminar rooms. Therefore,
the second floor east wing would be
?he Department of Audio-Visual Edu-
cation. Requests have also been made
for air conditioning, and a floor to
be built in the reference room (mak-
ing it a two-story room), thereby en-
larging the study space and the
North Carolina room.
Q. Why is there never enough
student help at the desk?
A. We try to place enough help
on the desk to take care of students.
However, we just have to outguess
the public to know when the rush
hours will be. We cannot afford to
have girls standing at the desk with
nothing to do.
Our budget allows $10,400 for
student help. This could pay 32 full
time student helpers or any number
of part time and full time workers.
Last quarter we had 51 student help-
ers working an average of 70 to 160
hours each.
Generals To Attend
Inauguration
Three Marine Generals will be spe-
cial guests at the inauguration of
President Leo W. Jenkins, on May 13.
These men are Brigadier General
George Richard E. Shell, Command-
ing General, Marine Corps iRecruit
Depot, Parris Island, S. C, Briga-
dier General Ralph K. Rottet, Com-
manding General, U. S. Marine Corps
Air Station, Cherry Point, N. C, and
Major General J. P. Berkeley, Com-
manding General, Second Marine
Division FMF, Camp Lejeune, N. C.
Major General Berkeley will bring
greetings at the inaugural luncheoa
from the Marine Corps Base at Camp
Lejeune.
These men are attending because
of the many men enrolled in the ex-
tension course that EC has at Camp
Lejeune. East Carolina has more
Marines, or ex-Marines enrolled than
any other college in the United
States.

THURSDAY, MAY 12, i
Ellen Wins Two From Lenoir
Johnny Ellen, the slender right-
hander who hac failed to return to
his 1959 stride in previous games,
was never better as he hurled East
Caro'ina to an 8-3 win in the first
game of a douhle-header against Le-
i ir Rhyne last Friday night, and
then came back to turn in a brilliant
two-inning i-elief stint in the second
game to receive credit for the 7-6
ECC extra-inning victory.
In the first game, East Carolina
stored three runs in the first inning,
when the three lead-off men, Spen-
cer Gaylord, Wilbur Castellow, and
Wally Cockre'J drew walks, then big
Gary Pierce reached first on an
t nor, scoring Gaylord. Pierce was
followed by first baseman, Jimmy
Mar who flied to center. Glenn
Bass followed Martin to the plate, and
rapped a single, scoring Castellow
and Cockrell.
The Pirates didn't score again unti1
the fifth inning, when Spencer Gay-
lord. the lead-off man for the Burs
opened the bottom half of the inning
by grounding oot, followed by Caste
low, who walked, and then took Bee-
ORd on a wild pitch. Wally Cockre'l
then came up, snd singled to bring
way lord across.
With the score tied at 3-3 in the
sixth inning, Bass wa'ked, and then
vas moved to second on a sacrifice
1 y Jecry Carpenter. Catcher Charles
Johnson then grounded out, moving
lass to third. Pitcher Johnny Ellen
singled, scoring Bass. Ellen, then
stole second, Gay'ord walked and
tuen Castellow gained first. Cockrell
and .Pierce walked, and then Jimmy
Martin rapped a single, scoring two
runs.
Lenoir Rhyne scored one run in the
fourth inning, when with one out Don
Turner reached first on an error by
the Pirate catcher, Char'es- Johnson.
Tinner stole second, and then Bob
Watson, slapped a single, scoring him
from second.
The other two Bear runs came in
the fifth inning, when with one out,
Lee Farmer reached second on an
error, followed by a single by Ted
Frye, and then another fielding error
n the part of the Buc defensive unit
a lowed him to score. The other tally
came a little later, when Kilby walk-
ed and scored on an error by Jim
Martin, after moving to scoring posi-
tion.
In the second game, which went
into extra innings, EOC scored six
of their seven runs in the fourth in-
ning; Carpenter, Burl Morris and
Nathan Greene drew walks. Spencer
Gaylord hit a sharp grounder to the
third baseman, which was errored,
scoring Carpenter and Morris. Through
another fielding error, Greene scored.
Centerfielder Wally Cockrell singled,
scoring two more runs. After Pierce
grounded out, advancing Cockrell,
Martin walked and a throwing error
allowed Cockrell to score.
Lenoir Rhyne rallied in the sixth
inning for five runs to knot the count
at six all.
In the second extra inning the
Pirates led off with Jerry Carpenter
walking, then being sacrificed around
by Burl Morris. Pitcher Johnny Ellen
walked and Spencer Gaylord's groun-
der forced Carpenter out at third.

dropped in, and Ellen scampered home
with the winning run.

Sophomore righthander Johnny Lllen, capteured two ins in a row last
Friday night for the Pirates against Lenoir Khyne's Bears. Ellen went the
distance in the first game, and came on in relief to get his second victory
for the night.
East Carolina Colege was aemeti meir amacu iot membership fa,
the Southern Conference next year last Friday night when the Southern
Conference Board held its May meeting.
It seems that the conference has no rules withi' its restitution that
ailows for expanding. Even then the conference would set up certain rife
ami standards that any applying institution would have to meet befor
iculd be considered for admittance.
Just as a footnote, Mississippi Southern is alee seeking admittance
into the Southern Conference. Let's keep our eyes on them and see how the;
will come out.
Defeat Sometimes Hard To Take
When you read about a pitcher striking out seventeen batters and
giving up only one hit, it's hard to believe that this same pitch
take a defeat. But sometimes that's just the way it fees. KA La
the ace on the Pirate pitching staff.
The southpaw from Greensboro fanned seventeen .f Cfttei . - u.
Mars Saturday night only to suffer his third defeat. Horn did he
3y errors.
The Pirates made five miscues against the Indi.
r.argiri -f 2-0. Both of Catawha's runs were u All in a
a ba I wpekend for the Pirates as far as errors were concerned.
Eighteen errors in three games isn't i very good average
for the leader of the North State Conference. The Bo s made I
cues in their Friday night douhle-header with Lenoir-Rhyne. Nine of
me in the first game. Still the Piiates came out on top in both contests
They won the first game, 8-3, and the second contest the Pi: a
come from behind to beat the Bears by a seven to six margin in nine
Berth contests were scheduled to last only seven frames by agreenu
both coaches.
But it is not my purpose to take any credit tway from
hurler, Horace Medford. The Indian pitcher he ti the ,Piraf
hit also in the nine inning event. Medford fanned si: East Cm
handing the Buis their second loss to North State Conference con
this season. Ironically, both of these Pirate defeats came at the ha
Catawba, and on both occasions Medford was doing the bur!
Indians.
As far as the Pirates lack of hitting is concerned, it wma nol
ter of not getting any wood on the ball. When the Boca hit it, tb
leng. The trouble was that they just happened to hit it straight
Catawba players.
SPORTS SHORTS . . . Coach George Tucker and hi
golf team received quite a scare last weekend. They only be
linksters by a score of 10-8, the closest for the Bucs this season. . . Be
to watch for the EACT CAROLINIAN'S pick of the neon
ULOUS FIVE sports figures of the 1959-60 school vear.
Catawba Closes
Gap On Pirates
Lead In NSC
Last Carolina's North State lead
'took a jolt here Saturday night when
Catawba won a 2-0 victory, but the
defeat was no fault of Pirate pitching
c.ce Iarry Cvayton.
Crayton, the southpaw who has a
J4-3 over-all record at EC in two
years, tossed a one-hitter at the In-
dians Saturday night and struck out
17 batters, but poor fielding on the
part of his teammates sent ECC
wheeling to a 2-0 defeattheir second
loss in the conference this year.
The second place Indians won the
game in the eighth when Bill McDe-
vitt shattered Crayton's no-hitter
w ith a clean single through the box in-
to center field. The blow came with
one out but McDevitt stole second
and Charlie Johnson's attempted pick-
off throw got away from Glenn
Bass and roUeJ into left field.
Failing to stop at third, McDevitt
was safe at home when Gary Pierce's
throw sailed over the head of John-
son. Crayton stiuck out the next two
men, but the damage had been done.
Catawba added a run in the ninth
when Gerald Whisenhunt walked,
moved to second on a sacrifice, and
vent to third on a passed ball. Whi-
senhunt scored wihen Bass made a
bad throw to Jimmy Martin on a
routine infie'xi grounder.
It was a heartbreaking defeat for
( rayton who btruck out 14 of the
iirst 16 men he faced. He retired the
side by strikes in the first, third, and
fourth.
While Crayton was hurling his
masterpiece, Catawba's Horace Med-
ford was retiring ECC hitters in
rapid-fire order. The Indian right
bander gave up a single to Gary
Pierce in the second inning, but after
that he set the Bucs down without a
base knock.
Linksters Extend
Undefeated String
The East Carolina golf team got
scare from Elon's Christians last
v eefc when the Pirates pulled ut a
10-S victory over the North State
rival.
For the first time this season EC's
number one and two men, Don Con-
ley and Paul Goodwin lost to their
opponent! in the first round.
Bill Guthrie, the number three man
on the Buc golf squad, a'so lost in
the second round, but his teammate.
Steve Fulp pulled the win out of the
bag by gaining medalist honors with
his low of 76 for the day.
The George Tucker coached link-
sters 'eft Burlington to continue their
road trip with Pfeiffer College. The
Bucs continued their undefeated sea-
son with ,i 16M1V2 win over the
South Carolina school.
Junior Paul Goodwin was medalist
for the afternoon, shooting a 74. Fol-
owing him were Guthrie and Fulp
with identical scores of 76.

East Carolina champion Norman
Kilj.atrick won the North Carolina
Table Tennis Championship in the
-tate table tennis tournament con-
ducted May 7 in Wilmington. Kil-
patrick won the Men's Singles crown
by defeating Joe Corne of Burlington
lM-12 and 21-16 in the finals, with
Ids fine defensive play and spin ser-
ves. In the semi-finals Kilpatrick had
defeated Goldsboro champion George
Whitted 21-6 and 21-12, by using a
series of 10 foot high lobbed returns.
Corne had defeated defending cham-
I ion Gary Preston in the finals of the
Burlington city tournament, while
Kipatrick won the Greenville and
Eastern North Carolina titles without
losing a single game in any of his
matches. Kilpatrick has been East
Carolina champion in 1958, '59, and
'60 and is the first E. C. player to
cop the state title.
The state Men's Doubles finals was
also an East Carolina-Burlington af-
fair, as E. Cs two top players, Kil-
patrick and Nelson Tugwell, lost a
bitterly fought contest to defending
chamipions Corne and .Preston of
Burlington, 21-18, 18-21, 18-21. Al-
though the chop defenses of the E.C.
duo slowed down the attack of the
champions, Come's well, placed blocks
of Kilpatrick's spin shots allowed the
Burlington players to finally take the
match and the titHe. In the semi-
finals, Tugwell's chop defense, and
Kilpatrick's forehand drives stopped
Wilmington champions Peter An-
drews and Harold Smith 21-13, only
to see the steady play of the Wilming-
ton pair force Tugwell to miss his
spin shots often, as Smith-Andrews
came back to take the second game
21-8. In the final game, with the
score 19-all, Kiloatrick hit a forehand
kil' shot and Tugwell forced Smith
to miss one of his defensive returns,
