USNSA Announces
Probe Concerning
Brooklyn Charges
(UPS) Paul A. DuBrul, Student
Editorial Affairs Coordinator for
USNSA today announced the appoint-
ment of a three member team of edi-
tors to investigate censorship charges
at Brooklyn College.
LuciJe Feldman, editor of the
Brooklyn College Kingsman resigned
iast week, charging that she had been
forbidden to publish photographs tak-
en of a student demonstration against
the nation-wide civil defense drill. Ap-
proximately 500 students demonstrat-
ed at the college. Dean of Students
Herbert Stroup had demanded the
photographs from the staff photog-
rapher who, instead, turned them
over to Miss Feldman.
Stating that she had "no other al-
ternative but resignation Miss Feld-
man said "I do not want to be editor
of a student newspaper that must
pledge unconditional obedience to a
college official's edicts
The three editors who have asked
to prepare a report on the status of
press freedom at the college are
Alan Richman of the Hunter Arrow,
John McCarthy of the Manhattan
Quadrangle and Janet Gregory of the
Barnard Bulletin. The report will be
presented for action to the NSA Stu-
dent Editorial Affairs Conference
next August 17-21 at the University
cf Minnesota.
Miss Feldman's action was the Last
in a long series of disagreements be-
tween Kingsman editors and the ad-
ministration. Only ast term a faculty
committee voted to end a "dual edit-
orial" policy for the paper. This nec-
essitated the editors to write an edi-
torial from the opposite point of view
fin controversia' issues and in at least
one instance the publication of an
opposing personal column if they
wanted an issue of the paper to ap-
pear.
Meanwhile students at the college
were planning a protest rally for
later in the woek. A similar meeting
was held at the beginning- of the
term to discuss the suspension of a
graduating department editor who
had attacked Administration policy.
Approximately three hundred stu-
dents attended.
Commenting on his actions, Dean
Stroup last week told Kingsman,
"When I tell a student to move from
one chair to another, he moves. If I
tell Miss Feldman not to publish the

Jenkins was inaugurated as the sixth
president of East Carolina College.
The inaugural exercises, marked by
academic tradition and pageantry,
brought to the campus of EOC a large
group of visiting dignitaries, headed
by Governor Luther H. Hodges. Other
visiting notables included presidents
and deans from some thirty colleges
and universities, and approximately
170 delegates from educational in-
stitutions and from educational pro-
tessional, and learned societies
throughout the nation.

Governor Hodges began the exer-
cises by bringing greetings to Dr.
Jenkins and the college by saying,

hieving greatness. Here at EC, you

the central theme of his address was
the obligations of publicly endowed

"The great strength of America in

Ceremonies Honor Dr. Jones
As Dorm Is Dedicated Sunday
Honoring a native of Pitt County,
Paul E. Jones Dormitory was dedi-
cated Sunday afternoon in services in
the cafeteria of the new dorm. Dr.
Jones and members of his family were
special guests at the service.
Dr. Leo W. Jenkins presided over
the program cf dedication, and J.
Herbert Waldrop accepted a portrait
of Dr. Jones presented by his family.
Dr. John KX Brauer, Dean of the
School of Dentistry at the University
of North Carolina, presented the dedi-
catory address as the highlight of the
program.
Dr. Brauer began, "It is on occa-
sions such as this that we are per-
mitted to pause for a few moments,
to reflect upon the life and character
of an individual, who has brought
great credit and honor to this state,
this institution, his profession, family
and himself. It is a life which rep-
resents a wonderful story of service
above self and a dedication to the
principles of Christian living and
ethics, which has won for him the
ove and admiration of all who know
him. Integrity, generosity, and ap-
preciation have indeed exemplified
his character and pattern of life
Dr. Paul E. Jones, a native of Pitt
County, was graduated from Bethel
High School and attended Richmond
College and the Medical College of
Virginia from which he was gradu-
ated in 1910. He is a member of the
Pitt County Medical and Dental So-
iety, the American Dental Associa-
tion and was president of the North
Carolina Dental Society in 1930 and
president of the (American Associa-
tion of Dental Examiners in 1946.
A farmer and member of the Farm
Bureau, Dr. Jones was a member of
the Farmville School Board for twen-
ty-five years and a member of the
Pitt County Board of Education for
several years. He was State Senator
from this district from 1949 to 1957
and was president pro tem in the

terests and efforts to further educa-
tion in North Carolina in general and
in Pitt County and East Carolina CoJ-
'ege, in particular. Jones dormitory

Paul E. Jones.
In concluding his dedicatory ad-
drew, Dr. Brauer commented, "It has
been stated, "the only thing we can
take with us, is what we have given
to others Longfellow in his "Psalm
of Life expressed this thought more
adequately and beautifully,

Veterans Receive Info
On Insurance Policies
Veterans were reminded by the VA
this week that they have an impor-
tant piece of property in their GI in-
surance policies and
two pieces of advice
with keeping up the policies.
First, VA said, veterans are ab'e
to make a saving in premiums, if
they pay the premiums annuallv
semi-annually or quarterly-instead
of on a monthly basis.
These methods of payment also
means bhat the policyholder would
have fewer chances to overlook or
delay making his premium payment.
And they have an advantage for the
government too, VA said, since lesser
clerical work is required for process-
ing the payments.
The second piece of advice offe-d
was for veterans to keep their lists
of beneficiaries up to date. Some-
times, VA said veterans have failed
to take action on their list of bene-
ficiaries after some change in their
tamity set-up, such as the birth of
a new son or daughter.
Neither VA nor anyone but the
policyholder himself would have the
nght to make a change in the list of
beneficiaries he has given VA for
payment of the proceeds of his pol-
icy.

EAST CAROLINIAN
THURSDAY, MAY If,
Absurd Destruction
Occurs Why?
Last Thursday night an unfortunate in-
cident occurred here. A piece of sculpture
which had just been completed behind Rawl
building was destroyed.
Manv people feel the sculpture, which
was over 15 feet high, fell from its own
weight. Others believe the concrete and iron
structure was deliberately pulled down by a
person or persons unknown.
To date, neither theory has been prov-
en but authorities are still working on the
case.
If the sculpture was pulled down (and
some evidence strongly indicates this) it was
one of the most absurd things that has ever
happened at this school.
The student who created the sculpture,
Don McAdams, spent over 15 weeks of hard
work on it. He carried cement, tools, and
working materials from the third floor of
Rawl down to the yard in back of the build-
ing each day before starting work. When
he finished he carried all this material all
the way back up to the thrd floor to the art
department. The amount of labor spent on
this sculpture is enough to command respect
from even those who make no attempt to
understand or appreciate the aesthetic.
We are sure that if the sculpture was
torn down by students, they were the most
illiterate, most immature, and most deplor-
able individuals on campus. Their intellect-
ual, cultural, and personal manner makes
them a cancer to the campus and, if caught,
they should be removed, just as a cancer is re-
moved.
These are the type persons who we feel

a dry-point etcher of a metaphysician. It is,
indeed, amazing to contemplate so vast a
vacuity. One thinks of the interstellar spaces,
of the colossal reaches of the now mythical
ether. Nearly the whole of Europe could be
lost in that stupendous region of fat farms,
shoddy cities and paralyzed cerebrums: one
could throw in France, Germany and Italy.
and still have room for the British Isles. And
yet, for all its size and all its wealth and all
the "progress" it babbles of, it is almost as
sterile, artistically, intellectually, culturally,
the Sahara Desert. Tlvre are singe acres
in Europe that house more first rate men
than all the states south of the Potomac; there
are probably single square miles in America.
If the whole of the late Confederacy were to
be engulfed by a tidal wave tomorrow, the
effect upon the civilized minority of men in
the world would be but little greater than
that of a flood on the Yang-tse-kiang. It
would be impossible in all history to match
so completely a drying-up of a civilization

No Error Or Mistake
'Buc' Editor Writes To The Dissatisfied
Campus Deliquents
lear Editor:
As Etlitor-in-Chief of the 1960
Buccaneer, I should like to clarify a
few points of expressed dissatisfac-
tion.
First of all, the placing of the grad-
ate section in the latter part of the
I960 Buccaneer was by no means an
error or a mistake. For the past four
jrears, I have done considerable re-
search concerning layout of year-
books. 1 have seen graduate sections
in the front, middle, and back of many
yearbooks. Actually, there is no fixed
area for the graduates in any year-
Look. National Scholastic Press As-
sociation, a grading service for pub-
lications, states that yearbooks have
a more pleasing appearance and pre-
sent much easier reading through
the pVacing of the class sections in
the Last part of the yearbook, con-
sequently, this is my reason for so
placing the graduate section.
I am well aware that there are sev-
eral hundred graduates on the cam-
pus, but may I ask, where are they?
In four years, 1957 through 1960, ex-
ectly 101 graduate students had their
picture taken for the Buccaneer. It
has been mentioned that graduates
are proud of having reached this level
of higher learning. This is not ex-
pressed by the graduate section
placed in the last part of the year-
hook. I certainly do not see how you
can be proud when only a minority of
graduate students is represented in
this section.
If the student body would stop to
think chat no matter where anything
is located, a much better representa-
tion will create an impression that is
unforgetable. A few figures should
make my point clear. Out of some
beveral hundred graduates, only 43
were represented in the 1960 Buc-
caneer. These irraduate students will
be teaching in the short future in
schoo's in and around North Caro-
lina. Do you know that each year 100
schools receive a copy of the Buc-
caneer? I cannot say that the admin-
istrators of the schools would be very
impressed to know that only 43 stu-
dents out of a graduate school as
large as East Oaro'ina managed to
climb a fight of stairs to have their
picture taken. These are only points
to ponder, but well worth the think-
ing time.
It is inevitable that there is a cer-
tain rank of academic degrees which
is standard, but no where is there to
be found, written or otherwise, any
standard form of yearbook publica-
tion. If there were, interest would
(.ertainly diminish because every-
thing would be fixed and stiff thus
alleviating new innovations.
My hope is that in future years
EOC students will realize the im-
portance of better representation in
everything.
Very truly yours,
Euclid D. Armstrong, Jr
Buocareer Editor
One Of The Dissatisfied
Dear Editor:
I wish to issue a complaint to tne
chief editor of the Buccaneer for a
major error that was made in the
editing of the 1960 Yearbook. This is
not strictly a personal complaint, but
i' is one which I have heard voiced
by most of those concerned here.
This mistake was the placing of the
graduate school section of pictures
in the latter part of your 1960 edition.
This was the first time that I have
seen such don and I have checked
some of the yearbooks of other col-
leges that were available to me. I can
see no reason for such editing, and
surely there was not one.
Do you realize that there are sev-
eral hundred persons enrolled at East
Carolina College in the graduate pro-
gram? And do you further under-
stand that the primary purpose of
East Carolina College is teacher
training and advancement? (This
was a conclusion by a certain state
educational committee.) Advance-
ment in teacher training means to
n any of us the advanced study to
gain the Master of Arts Degree.
We as graduate students have
reached a 'evel of which we are
proud. Years of hard work have led
most of us into this advanced field.
Then may I not wonder why we weie
placed in such a far removed section
of this publication?
There is a certain rank of academic
degrees which is standard, and surely
you have violated this by ignoring
such completely. Therefore, there is
much dissatisfaction with your 1960
Buccaneer.
Yours,
Charles A. Guy
Dear Editor:
The wholesale destruction of a
piece of sculpture in the rear of Rawl
Building last Thursday night between
9:00 p.m. and 6:30 a.m. is to be con-
demned as the low point in student
behavior on our campus. Such ju-
venile delinquency has been evident
in small measure for a long time
now it is in full bloom.
Not only was a piece of sculpture
destroyed one day from completion,
but it could be that the will to create
has been destroyed in the budding
artist and will to teach in his pro-
fession.
When something as personal as the
creation of this sculpture was de-
stroyed, it was the same as destroy-
ing a part of the artist who gave
this part of himself in his creation.
The professor gave all he had to the
student to bring this creative spirit
to fruition. Can he not now have the
fee'ing, with the student, of "what
the hell's the use
As guilty as 1he ones who destroy-
ed this work are those who let such
B thing happen. This is not the mal-
icious mischief of one student, but of
several. And you as a student body
are to blame for letting such behavior
exist within your ranks.
You want se'f-government and
privileges. You should have them,
but only when it is demonstrated that
you are mature enough to have more
t'leedom of action.
So far it has been a statue, next
it will be more sculpture, paintings
and prints; soon it will be state auto-
mobies and trucks; then buildings
and housesif such conduct is not
stopped immediately.
Angrily,

Praise To The Students
Dear Editor:
I would like to take this oppor-
tunity to thank everyone who contri-
buted toward making the Inaugura-
tion of Dr. Jenkins such a big success.
It could tot have been as impres-
sive as it was if the student body
had not shown the enthusiasm that
they did.

The men in Jones Dormitory are
beginning to complain about some
new rules that are being enforced
in the dormitory cafeteria. It seems
there are new rules pertaining to the
clothing one must wear when he is
eating. One must wear socks, shoes,
shirts, and long pants or bermula
shorts. If a male student goes in the
cafeteria with his shirt tail out he is
?sked to leave and come back when
dressed properly.
One student complains he gets up
early in the morning to eat and then
goes back to bed until his twelve o
clock class. He says that he can't un-
derstand why he should wear socks
or have his shirt tail in that early in
the morning. There are many, many
more students with the same feeling
about this matter.
By BOB GOODEN
Mr. Smith, manager of the cafe-
teria at Jones, jokingly asks his stu-
dents to correct themselves when they
are seen without socks or with their
shirt tail hanging out. The situation
on the main campus cafeteria is com-
pletely different. In it one is not
.asked to correct his appearance but
is ordered out until he does. We have
heard the food is not cooked suffici-
ent1 y and very often hair is found in
it.
These examples don't agree with-
the rules of good health very well.
For good health one must eat the
light amount and right kind of food
Some of EC's students have good
health, where do they get it? They
must eat at a local restaurant.
Why doesnt someone do something
about the examination schedules?
Each quarter examinations of periods
following each other are given the
same day. Some seniors are strug-
gling to pass their subjects and most
,pass them to graduate.
Are they given a fair chance for
necessary last minute studying?
Some students have exams for six
long hours in one day. Everyone
knows that by the last two hours
their brain will be taxed too much
and that it could operate more effici-
ently if it were fresh.
It seems that it would be just as
easy to arrange the schedule to a
better advantage for the students
and we hope that the proper authori-
ties will give this situation attention
and consideration.
My sincere thanks go to Mary Lee
Lawrence, Diana Foster, and Loretta
Benton, who gave so graciously of
their talents in the floor show at the
Inauguration Ball.
I would personally like to thank tne
men of A.P.O. Service Fraternity
who took complete charge of decorat-
ing Wright Auditorium for the Inau-
gural Ball. They worked way into the
night Thursday after the concert and
all day Friday. This group sacrificed
their Friday classes and the Inau-
guration Ceremonies to get the job
done. Without the help of A.P.O. we
could not have had the decorations
that we had.
The men of A.P.O. have never
been shown the recognition they de-
serve, yet they are one of the hardest
working groups on the campus, as
was shown by their efforts this past
On behalf of the S.G.A I would
like to say "thank you" to AP.O. for
a job well done.
To Miss Cynthia Mendenhall, I
would like to say "thank you" for
vour generous assistance in helping
to work out the technicalities of the
Ball.
The student body, the faculty, the
maintenance department and every-
one who took part in the Inaugura-
tion is to be commended for their
participation and co-operation in
making this event one to be extreme-
ly proud of.
Thank you,
Jim Speight
President. S.G.A.

truly a symbol of cultural aspiration,
unrelenting perseverance, and endur-
ing laith. From the beginning, its
purpose was deliberately conceived,
as objective clearly defined, and its
mission steadfastly defended. These
are the cornerstones upon which to-
day a significant event is made more
memorable. Upon such foundations
the growth and expanding influence
of this institution were and are in-
evitable
The new president of East
Carolina College has been a part of
the progress of the past; he there-

Gateuood Discusses State's
Role In National Parks
Establishment of the Great Smoky
Mountains National Park and North
Carolina's role in the undertaking are
discussed by Dr. Willard B. Gatewood,
Jr of the social studies department,
in the April issue of the "North Car-
olina Historical Review
Dr. Gatewood traces the history
of the "most popular national park in
America" from the inception of the
idea of its establishment to 1940,
when it was dedicated by President
Franklin D. Roosevelt. It has become
one of the major projects in conser-
vation and recreation in the United
States, according to Dr. Gatewood s
article. I
"In 1899 Dr. Gatewood states,
"The Appalachian Park Association
was created in Asheville, N. C, to
push the movement for a national
park in the Southern Appalachians.
The organization gained public sup-
port for the park idea and was largely
responsible for the passage in 1911 of
the Weeks Act, which founded the
whole system of national forests In
the East
"After World War I, officials and
citizens of North Carolina and Tcn-
ressee began efforts to create a na-
tional park in the Great Smoky
Mountains Dr. Gatewood's article
continues and in 1924 the North
Carolina Legislature established a
Park Commission to press the mat- j
ter Mark Squires, E. C. Brooks,
and John G. Dawson, were among
leaders in tho commission. Largely
through their efforts, the article
states, Congress in 1926 passed an
act to establish the park, provided
that the lands were turned over to
the federal government in fee simple.
In North Carolina private dona-
tions, a grant of $2,000,000 from the
state legislature and a gift of $5,000
U00 from John D. Rockefeller, Jr
made possible the purchase of land
in the Great Smokies. Acquisition of
land, Dr. Gatewood shows, was a
tremendous undertaking involving
surveys, timber estimates, title seach-
es, condemnation proceedings, and
law suits
Finally, the full park was estab-
lished and dedicated in elaborate
ceremonies by President Franklin D.
Roosevelt in 1940. After more than
40 years of crusading, North Carolina
and Tennessee had acquired a park
of 463.000 acres at a cost of $12,000
000. Its value to North Carolina, both
as a tourist attraction and as protec-
tion to the headwaters of major riv-
ers, is enormous, Dr. Gatewood states.
A native of Pelham, N. C, and a
graduate of Duke University, Dr.
Gatewood has been a faculty member
at East Tennessee State College and
row teaches history at East Carolina.
His published articles have appeared

universities have to do with freedom
and the worth and dignity of the hu-
man mind and spirit, I believe that
those from which I bring greetings
would have me say that they are

Juniors and seniors: Are you in
doubt about what profession or voca-
tion you will follow after graduation
from college?
South Carolina public libraries this
summer are offering ten internships
to be awarded on a competitive ba&is
to college juniors and seniors who are
in search of a profession and who
meet certain other qualifications. The
internships are work-training posi-
tions in county and regional public
libraries which have been selected
for the quality of guidance and work
they can offer.
The interns will work full-time
work for two and one half months
at a salary of $150 per month.
The work will be planned as an in-
troduction to the various phases of
public library work with the purpose
of giving the intern an opportunity
to find out from firsthand experience
vhat a public librarian is and does.
The libraries sponsoring the program
hope that some of the interns may
decide to become librarians, but there
will be no obligation entailed in ac-
ceptance of an award.
Internships are open to rising jun-
iors and seniors, and graduating
er.iors who:
1. have decided on a major subject
either have not yet chosen a voca-
tion or profession, or are interest-
ed in librarianship
have done, or plan to do, the

Lincoln Causes
A Strong America
Graduation time calls to mind the
fact that state universities, whose
graduates have helped American
science, business, and agriculture
lead the world, are a partial result
of the foresight of Abraham Lincoln.
According to Dr. R. Gerald McMur-
try, Director of The Lincoln Nation-
al Life Foundation, Fort Wayne, In-
diana, Lincoln's sympathy with edu-
cational efforts dates back to his
first political meech, made as a can-
didate for the Legislature of Illinois
in 1K32, when he was but twenty-
three years old. He said:
"Upon the subject of education, not
presuming to dictate any plan or sys-
tem respecting it, I can only say that
1 view it as the most important sub-
ject which we as a people can be en-
gaged in. That every man may re-
ceive at least a moderate education,
and thereby be enabled to read the
histories of his own and other coun-
tries, by which he may duly appre-
ciate the value cf our free institutions,
appears to be an object of vital im-
portance, even on this account alone,
to say nothing of the advantages and
satisfaction to be derived from all
being able to read the Scriptures,
and other works both of a religious
and moral nature, for themselves.
"For my part, I desire to see the
time when education and by its means,
morality, sobriety, enterprise and in
dustry shall become much more
general than at present and should
be gratified to have it in my power
to contribute something to the ad-
vancement of any measure which
might have a tendency to accelerate
that happy period

BUSINESS FRATERNITIES
Members of the Beta Kappa Chap-
ter of Pi Omega Pi and Phi Beta

Patts, president of Phi Beta Lambda,
who awarded the certificates to win-
ners in the beginning competition,
and Sylvia Uzzell, who presented cer-
tificates to winners in the advanced
division.
A total of approximately 875 stu-
dents, representing more than 4500

In this, the second annual selection I
of the FLAMING FIVE, the chosen'
tive outstanding athletes are James
Speight and Eil Emory from football,
Ike Riddk-k from basketball, Larry
v ray ton from baseball, and John West
from tennis.
James Speight
A native of Greenville, James
Speight has reaped many gridiron
laurels since his high school days.
As a senior at Greenville High
bool, Speight was named to the
AHOvortheastern and All-State
squads, along with playing in the
celebrated Shrine game for outstand-
ing high school football players.
When Speight decided to enroll at
East Carolina College, he immediate-
ly began to add to his list of football
honors.
ED EMORY
After "bohunking" his first season,
Speight set out to establish himself
among North State Conference op-
ponents, and that's exactly what he
aid. The fleet-footed Greenvillite made
a name Tor himself as one of the
better halfbacks in the conference by
copping All-Conference, and Ali-
NAIA District 26 honors. He also
received the Outstanding Player
Award.
Speight had the misfortune of being
aden with injury upon injury in his
junior year, which caused him to mis
the first five ball games. But tne
speedy back came on in the Pirates'
last five names to lead the team in
the frond gaining department.
James' senior year was the big one
for him. Honor upon honor was be-
stowed upon 'he speed merchant. He
captured All-Conference, AU-NAIA,
nd honorable mention to the All-
American squads.
Among the awards that Speighi
gained were the Outstanding Player
Award, The Outstanding Senior
"ward. The Pawl Memorial Trophy
for outstanding achievements other

than on the athletic field. But more
honors were in store for Speight.
He was also the recipient of The
Player of the Week award by the
Greenville Touchdown Club on two
occasions. Thm the administration
voted to retire Speight's jersey, the
iamiliar number 29 that we have
watched cross many opponents' goal
lines.
As far as records are concerned,
Speight has his share of those too.
He broke the individual game scor-
ing record when he scored 26 points
against Newport News Apprentice
School. James also broke the all-time
rushing yardage record, gaining some
'hree thousand yards in his four
j ears of competition.
Footba'l was not Speight's only
outstanding field of athletics. Gifted
with the exceptional speed that he

son. And that something is football.
From the time he was old enough
to know what the game was, Ed was
out banging heads. And it was usually
with boys bigger than himself. As
far as he was concerned, it was a
must that he play on the starting
line-up. Though he took many beat-
ings to obtain this goal, he made it
hrough sheer determination.
Before coming to East Carolina,
Ed p'ayed prep school football at
Camden Military Academy in Cam-

With the end of Ed's sophomore
year came his first collegiate honor.
He made the All-Conference team.
His junior year saw him repeat as
an All-Conference player. Emory also
captured the Beat Blocking Award
ifter his second season.
With Eds senior year, the honors
began to ascend. For the third con-
secutive time he copped All-Confer-
ence honors. Then he went on to gain
A11-N.A.IJV All-State, and All-
Lambda Chi Alpha honors. The latter
honor saw Ed picked as one of eleven
boys out of some three thousand
across the United States.
Emory also repeated as the winner
of the Best Blocking Award, and was
named to The Player of the Week
Award list. Along with all these hon-
ors, Ed had one more, which probably
meant as much, if not more, to him
than any of the others. He served as
Co-Captain of the Purple and Gold

After East Carolina finished their
regular season, Riddick went on to

He was chosen to play with the North
State A'1-Stars against the Big Four
All-Stars.
His best performance in post-sea-
son tournaments came whenjie play-
ed in the Portsmouth Invitational
Tournament at Portsmouth, Virginia.
In it he three day affair Riddick scored
a total of 82 points to grab the Most

of the University of Virginia.
Riddick will return to East Caro-
lina next fall to complete his studies.
Larry Crayton
A native of Greensboro, Larry
Crayton probably gained as many
honors in his freshman year as ft
takes many athletes to gain in four
years.
Last year as a freshman, Larry
captured All-Conference, All-State
and All-N.A.I A. District 26 honors

Pirate baseball squad.
In his first season of college ball,
Crayton posted a 7-1 record, losing
only to a strong University of Indi-
ana team by a slim margin of 2-1.
The stocky southpaw set a new strike
out record for the conference when
he fanned twenty batters against
Appalachian last season. That record
stands today.
Crayton's sophomore year didn't
see him slow up a fraction as he
took up where he left off in 1959. So
far this year he has racked up eight
vins against only two setbacks. One
of his losses came at the hands of
Atlantic Coast Conference power,
Wake Forest, while his second de-
feat was to conference foe, Catawba.

JAMES SPEIGHT, IKE RIDDICK, JOHN WEST, and LARKY C&AYTOn!
The first four in this list are seniors and have served their &haa

Like a amb with a slight stutter off the field, Ed was a packed o ;ife of

James Speight and Larry Crayton have made their Greek Letter

past year. It has been a great experience for me to follow and starve at
their skills.
Speight has spent five years at EOC and will never be forgotten o
this campus. A hometown Greenville boy with a desire in his heart and a
lot of snap in his legs, Speight's football jersey was recently

Soph With Golden Arm
Larry Crayton is the sophomore with the eft arm of pure gold.
There is little doubt that the chunky hurler labeled "Pumpsie' will soon
be cast in the role of a major leaguer. He has pitched many "a jewel" is
his short stint here but his potentialities are unlimitej. Ea: Carolina fans
only hope they can continue to watch him play with the MaLorymen for
the next two seasons.
Last but not least, my subject turns to the Mighty Mouse i f
basketball court, Ike Riddick. I have been privileged to know Ike as a
basketball player and a member of Circle K. Although convalescing
of the latter stages of the cage season, he was an excellent eader for a
"green" bunch of basketball players that came witiiin a hair of winning the
conference title under unspeakable handicaps.

In my column this week, I include the following as honorable n

eastern Conference five.
His outstanding play in high school
also landed him a uniform on East
Carolina's freshman team. The scrap-
py guard's 17 point per game aver-
age gained him a place on the varsity
eleven before his freshman year came
to a close.
Riddick's sophomore year saw him
gain a starting berth on the varsity
five. Although he didn't win awards
or trophies, Dee considered it an honor
to be a member of the first string.
He posted a 12-points-per-gamo
average.
During his junior season Riddick
averaged 13 points per game and
gained honorable mention on the All-
Conference squad.
But it was Ike's senior year that
he came into his own. He was named
to the All-Conference, and N.A.I.A.
District 26 teams, and led the North
State Conference in scoring with a
24.6 average. His individual high
game was against Pfeiffer College.
Against this non-conference foe, Rid-
dick pumped in 38 points, high for
any individual player during the
1959-60 campaign. Ike was Captain
of the Pirate squad during his senior
year.
Among the awards that Riddick
captured during his last season with
the Purple and Gold were the Sporta-

if he does it will be a tremendous

Crayton will journey to South Da-
kota this summer to pitch in a semi-
pro league there.
John West
Most athletic fans around the
North State Conference don't pay
much attention to its minor sports,
and consequently are unaware of
much of the fine talent that can be
seen there.
But if one were to look at the tal-
ent in some of these minor sports,
he would discover that many of these
athletes are very outstanding la their
tespective fields
Such is the case'with John West,
a senior at East Carolina. John has
been on the Pirate tennis team for
four years and has one of the finest
intercollegiate records sported by
anyone.
As a freshman, the Durham na-
tive played in the number two posi-
tion for the tennis team and posted
a commendable 12-3 wen-lost record.
John had the misfortune of playing
in the shadow of another top notch
performer, Maurice Everette for two
