Peace Corps Signifies
Hope For World Peace
In the pre-election months crammed with
the usual hot air proposals, promises, com-
promising political maneuvers, and political
'hogwash' one proposal was made which
stood out much Jike a rose bush in a stock-
yard. The proposal to which we refer is the
United States Peace Corps offered originally
by Democrat Senators Humphrey and Reuss,
and later strongly supported by Senator John
Kennedy, now President-elect.
The Peace Corps, if established, will in-
clude 4a body of young men and women of
above-average intelligence and zeal" to enlist
for a period of three to five years in a type
of foreign service. One year would be devoted
to intensive training in the needs, language,
interests, and culture of a country. The re-
maining time would be spent participating in
both government and private technical assist-
ance programs in that country. They would
probably be uilized in the village and rural
areas where their semi-skilled labor could
prove most useful. This service would count
M an alternative to peace time selective serv-
ice.
This program, we feel, is the most ra-
tional, most useful, and most progressive one
proposed in many years. Instead of learning
to throw grenades, men may learn to distri-
bute fertilizer; they can drive bulldozers in-
stead of tanks; learn to build irrigation dit-
ches instead of becoming demoltion experts.
Would it not be better to learn to utilize
the $50,000.00 each it costs to kill a man
(World War II figures as quoted from J.H.S.
Bossard in the American Sociological Re-
view) to help those who beg for food (or
worse, those who must pimp for their rela-
tives to live) in some countries than to use
it learning more efficient ways to pour mens'
blood into the dust with motor oil, tobacco
spittle, dogs' urine and those other things
that commonly soak into the dust.
Are not mens' lives more valuable than
nuclear devices that kill 75,000 in one blast
(as happened at Hiroshima). According to
Metropolitan Life Insurance Company sta-
tistics ovek- 9,105,000 men were killed in
World War II. Multiply this by the $50,000.00
each it cost to kill them and try to imagine
what this much money could have done if
it had been spent on education, or housing,
or scientific research or a hundred other
things. We think this makes our point; as
Ernest Hemingway said, "In modern war
there is nothing sweet nor fitting in your
dying. You die like a dog for no good reason "
We realize the Peace Corps could not
bring about world peace overnight. However
it could be the first of a number of steps to
bring about better understanding between
nations. Who is better able to accept the dif-
ferences in culture, understand the diversity
of problems, and learn to live in harmony
with other people of the world than the youth
of America? In our own country college stu-
dents have taken the lead, in niost cases, to
understand and satisfy the differences bred
toward a minority group for over a century.
Very few exchange students return with
anything but admiration for the country in
which they have studied and we have
heard of no cases of malice toward these
countries. What better diplomat could we
have than a young one whose prejudices are
not so deep rooted, whose political ambitions
are limited, and who stands to die in a war
that will end wars if his diplomacy fails.
We feel the youth of America and of the
world do not want war and will do anything
to prevent it. The Peace Corps is one way of
letting them try to prevent it. Men trained
to work for good will be able to do more for
the world than men trained to kill.
There is nothing noble about learning
to effectively use a flame thrower. There is
no honor in being an expert at opening a
man s stomach with a bayonet so his entrails
2H1 out There are tites more worthy
than The best trained fighting man in the
world.
We feel that if the new president suc-
ceeds in establishing this Peace Corps to work
effectively (and we see no reason why it
shouldn't work) he will have accomplished
more for world peace and American security
than the combined measures taken since the
last war.
"They shall beat their sword into
ploughshares, and their spears into pruning-
hooks: nation shall not lift up sword against
nation, neither shall they learn war any

Concert Reviewed
As 'Commendable'
By JAMES H. PARNELL
Sunday afternoon a large and ap-
preciative audience gathered in the
Wright Auditorium for the 1960-61
debut orf the East Carolina College
Orchestra under the able direction of
Donald H. Hayes. Throughout the
concert the orchestra proved once
again that it can present commend-
able performances of music of all
styles.
The program, opened with a rather
cautious rendition of the First Move-
ment of Brahm's Second Symphony.
Mr. Hayes and the members of the
orchestra placed great emphasis upon
the lyrical qualities of this music,
but, in so doing, the rhythmic and
dramatic elements seemed to be some-
what lax. Many professional music-
ians contend that the music of
Brahms is among the most difficult
to perform correctly; however, the
ECC Orchestra presented a satisfac-
tory account of this masterpiece.
(After a sensitive performance of
excerpts from Handel's "Water Mu-
sic the group turned to a contem-
porary American workin this re-
viewer's estimation the highlight of
the concert. John Barnes Chance, a
young Texas-born comtposer who is
a "composer in residence" at Greens-
boro this year, conducted the orches-
tra in a stirring presentation of his
Symphony.
It is the policy of the ECC Or-
chestra to champion the works of our
American composers, and the Enter-
tainment Series i to be congratulat-
ed floi- its efforts in bringing these
composers to our campus to conduct
their own compositions. The Chance
symphony reminded this listener of
Shostakovich and Prokofiev; but it
contained much original material in
the true American idiom. This number
U characterised by good melodic con-
tent, contemporary scoring devices,
and a strong rhythmic drive. It will
be interesting to follow Mr. Chance's
future development as a composer.
Following the intermission, Mr.
Hayes returned to lead his forces in
an authentic account of the "Emper-
or Waltz" of Johann Strauss. To
close this successful concert, the or-
chestracomplete with solo speakers
tmd a speaking chorus(performed
the "Declaration Suite" by the Ameri-
can composer Morton Gould. Mr.
Could is noted for his excellent ar-
rangements ami colorful orchestra-
tion. Although this work does not ap-
pear to be one of his better composi-
tions, it does contain some rather
exciting passages. It is a difficult
piece, and it requires the utmost in
r-erf .rming skill by all concerned.
In summary, this initial orchestral
concert of the 1960-61 academic year
proved to be a very satisfying ex-
perience. There were, of course oc-
casional Intonation difficulties, some
faulty entrances, and problems of
balance (some due to the acoustics of
the auditorium); but, these were over-
shadowed by many notable examples
of fine musicianship.
Mention should be made of the
outstanding work by the trombone
section. However, it was the combined
effort by the entire orchestra and
its conductors which produced this
interesting program.
There was one disturbing factor
during the concert: audience noise.
There were many late arrivals, and
the resulting noise and confusion
made it almost impossible to enjoy
the soft portions of the Brahms and

Student Feels Apologetic
For Conduct Of Others
De&r Editor:
A short time after enrolling at
East Carolina, I became acquainted
with the phrase used in the cheers
of rival schools during athletic con-
tests describing E.C. as "high school
It was the immature conduct of a
numiber of students from our school
following the East Carolina-High
Point game that made me realize why
our student body might be classified
by outsiders in such terminology.
I am disturbed that I cannot choose
to associate with fraternity brothers
and friends from an opposing school
during an athletic contest without
having to apologize for the distaste-
ful conduct displayed by fans from
my own school. I regret to have to
admit to my friends and those out-
side, who must judge any group by
what they see, that a part of the stu-
dent body at E.C. could appropriately
be labeled as "high school
I feel that any man who will make
.another have to apologize for con-
ditions at hi? school is definitely a
menace to that school and to his as-
sociates.

Coed Defends Concert
I "car Editor:
Mr. Philip Williamson asked for
answers to his questions concerning
the concert by the Atlanta Symphony.
Perhaps his comment that the or-
chestra members were not enthusi-
astic was not justified, considering
the fact that there were so many un-
necessary noises both in the audience
and outside the building. It is amaz-
ing that the musicians could hear
themselves, much less be enthusiastic
As for the closing of the Student
Union, Mr. Williamson apparently
was not thinking of the people who
work. If the Student Union should
remain open, someone would have to
miss the educational, cultural, and en-
tertaining activities on our campus
In addition, the detracting noises
would probably be even greater when
the three sonatas with which he is
already familiar. If every musical or-
ganization (played only music which
Mr. Williamson knows, then how
would he ever grow in his knowledge
of the musical world?
Most sincerely,

Is Minority Superior?
To the Editor:
While ambling along the left bank
of the Tar river t'other day on the
way to pick up my welfare check, I
was inspired to write the following
poem. I feel it is publishable, since
the type of which I am speaking
comes from my impression of the
typical EJC. student as gathered from
the pages of the East Carolinian. T'is
part of a larger work I plan to pub-
lish entitled "A Pithy Pitful of Pun-
Kent Perversity This poem is called
'Who Put The Petunias in The Deep-
freeze" or "Kennst du es Wahl?" and
is dedicated to all fraternity boys who
can read words of two or more sylla-
bles:
In their Ivy league togs
Complete with rainproof Fogs,
Knowledge-proof brains
Which keep out the rains;
They seek their kindred kinds
With button-down minds
In Playboy like joints
And gather activity points.
Therefore
I think there's no superiority
In the minority;
Life's for idiots
Let's get with it-s!

' Ver. Of course it may
her drastic after-affects but one
ist realize that life is a gamble.
My, my, we're becoming almost as
fluid-minded as U.N.C. Of course, to
i ; in such a reputation as theirs well
have to work a bit harder, but it can
be d ne. Half of the fellows on my
hall are near-alcoholics anyway, so
this shouldn't be too much of a prob-
lem.
But what about those who dont?
What will these poor people be doing
during the holidays to enjoy them-
selves. Could it be that they have a
method better than the one that is
now circulating. Horrors, Hades, and
Hinkles! If they do. It could well be
a blow to the cause.
Just think, these people may well
go through the holidays sober, and
enjoy it! And look at all the things
they will miss; headaches, upset stom-
achs, jail, horrified parents, road-
map eyes, and many other wonderful

the 1960 season with an exciting vic-
tory over the University of Rich-
mond Spiders. The fans cheered, the
coach was carried off the field, then
everyone went their separate ways
to talk of other things.
What did they have to say about
the wonderful 7-victory, 3-defeat sea-
sonWhat praises were heaped upon
the Coach? Concerning these there
was a curious silence. A victorious
season was taken as a matter of
course. It is pitiful, the small amount
of enthusiasm exhibited over the fact
But what if the facts were
different? Suppose it had been a 8-
victory, 7-defeat season. This would
not be taken so lightly. Oh no, there
would be cries of "Hang the Coach"
and the students would be enthusias-

Places College Students In
Summer European Positions
The American Student Information
Service has just completed its second
large scale year of operation in plac-
ing American college students in sum-
mer jobs in Europe. The demand for
summer jobs on the European con-
tinent has prompted ASIS to enlarge
its facilities to the extent that it can
now offer several thousand paying
summer jobs to American college stu-
dents. The jobs pay the standard wage
of the country in which they are lo-
cated and are available in Germany,
Prance, England, Israel, Spain, Swit-
zerland, and Scandinavia.
Openings include farm work, con-
struction work, resort work, factory
work, hospital work and a few select-
ed office jobs for those who have a
working knowledge of German or
French.
ASIS, a non-profit organization,
also helps American college students,
arrange low-cost travel to and from
Europe, provides a mail forwarding
service, fascinating inside information
on Europe, and many recreational
and educational activities.
The 1960 program included stu-
dents from Davidson, Duke, Lenoir
Rhyne, Meredith, UNC and Wake
Forest.
Further information can be obtain-
ed from Mr. Morrison of the Depart-
ment of Foreign Languages, or by

Artists Present
Ceramics At Center
Works by Dr. Kenneth Beittel and
Dr. Robert Berkhart, ceramic artists,
are now being displayed at the Green-
ville Art Center and on the campus.
The major tpart of the exhibition is
at the Art Center. A sampling of the
show is on view in the display cases
at the entrance of the Rawl building.
The art department is sponsoring
the pottery exhibit in cooperation
with the Greenville Art Center.
Dr. Beittel teaches at Pennsylvania
State University, State College, Pen-
nsylvania. Dr. Berkart teaches at
Central Michigan University, Mount
Pleasant, Michigan. These two artists
operate a studio pottery each summer.
The pottery on display in the Art
Center shows variety in size, shape,
and approach to the function of the
object. Attracting particular interest
is a collection of candlesticks. Some
of these are traditional in design.
Others are unusual because of the
daring height achieved by means of
piling up clay forms on top of one
another.

guest last weekend John Barnes
Chance, a young American composer.
His primary purpose in coming to
the college was to conduct the East
Carolina Orchestra in one of his own
compositions, "Symphony
Mr. Chance said, "I started iplaying
the piano when I was nine years old,
and I took piano lessons from my
neighbor across the street, who wis
one of the town's better piano tea-
chers Chance made rapid progress
as a pianist and received a very
thorough grounding in basic theory.
In high school he became interested
in composing, and while still in high
school his works included a First
Movement in a Symphony. He also
played the percussion instruments in
the high school orchestra.
Chance received his BM and MM
Degrees from the University of Tex-
as, where he majored in percussion.
He continued to compose in college
and wrote his "Symphony" for his
thesis requirement for the masters
degree. At the University of Texas.
Chance twice won the Carl Owens
Award for the best student composi-
tion.
Upon joining the Army, Chance
served for three years in the Fourth
Army Band at Fort Sam Houston,
Texas, and with the Eighth Army
Band in Seoul, Korea, where he ar-
tanged for and conducted the band
while continuing to write chamber
and orchestral music.
The prominent composer said, "I
find the best time to compose is
early in the morning from 1:00 a.m. to
5:00 a.m. I do much of my compos-
ing at the piano he added. "One of
the best investments I ever made
he continued, was a $15. used piano
chair with wheels which made it
possible to roll from the piano to the
table where I keep my manuscripts.
Now, I can work something out on
the piano, and then get it swiftly
down on paper, without having to
bother getting up and down all the
time, although it's still hard on the
rug
Among his compositions, in addi-
aic and selections ior band and or-
chestra. A number of his works have
been performed by the Oklahoma
City Symphony, including the "Sym-
phony" and an "Overture to a Fairy
Tale The latter composition was
also performed recently by the Greens-
boro Symphony Orchestra.
"I have enjoyed visiting East Caro-
lina said Chance, "and seeing part
of the country which is new to me. It
has been an honor and a privilege to
work with the EC Orchestra He add-
td, "I hope it's been as much fun for
Lhem as it has been for me
Mr. Chance, a native of Beaumont,
Texas, is presently living in Greens-
boro, N.C on a Humanities and Arts
Grant from the Ford Foundation.
This organization provides funds for
12 young American composers to live
i'or a year in different communities
hroughout the country which have
exceptionally good public school mu-
sic programs. Their main purpose is to
compose music within the high school
musicians range, and to hear the mu-
sic played by the young musicians of
the community. Other cities in this
area which have this program are:
Arlington, Virginia; Jacksonville,
Florida; and Lexington, Kentucky.
Besides the Chance "Symphony"
the College Orchestra, under the di-
rection of Donald Hayes of the Music
Department, also performed: "Water
Music by Handel; "Symphony No. 2
by Brahms; "Emperor Waltz by
Strauss; and a special number based
on the Declaration of Independence
called "Declaration Suite by Gould.
Solo speakers for the Gould number
were John Spence, and John H. Wil-

REVIEW
By RICHARD BOYD
The Citadel Impressive
After two consecutive wins at the expense of light opposition. The
! X2.C. eagers found The Citadel of the Southern Conference more com-
petitive. In fact, the Cadets managed to turn hack the Bucs by an impres-
sive 99-83 margin. The Charleston, South Carolina crew is coached by
former N.C. State star Mel Thompson and were surprisingly strong. The
saint' five from Greenville were behind 48-40 at the half way point and
could not catch the larger school. However, several Pirate players endan-
gered their team's chances thanks to the jjouls in which they committed.
Hues Could Be A Southern Conference Team
Coach Earl Smith's five should be ready for a league schedule of
some fine basketball teams. The competition will not be as such if the
Bucs were in the Southern Conference, but the North State cage teams
can be plenty rough.
Speaking of the Southern Conference, this would have been a fine
year for the Pirates to enter competitive athletic teams against foes such
is George Washington of Washington, D.C West Virginia, and Virginia
Military Institute, Virginia Tech, and William and Mary, from Virginia,
Davidson's Wildcats and Furman from the Carolinas should also be in-
led.
Citadel and the University of Richmond of course already have
com: against the Bucs. East Carolina made respectible showings
e. Southern Conference representatives.
Surely, the Pirates could have held their own against a few of these
e grid iron, and certainly on the hardwood as well. The Citadel,
ia Te V.M.I and George Washington may have been too much
East Carolina football eleven. But certainly, any of the other
n this highly rated conference would have had their hands full
t the speedy Bucs.
Glenn Bass is a great back that many of these coaches from major
ges would love to have if they could have known that Glenn would
devel p into one of the finest backs in the college ranks. His terrific play
Richmond proved that he would have been a standout in the
Vii
tea
Sou!
iference.
irate basketball quint would certainly win their share in
i nee competition. Possibly not a first division contender
year of play, hut certainly a dangerous ball club. Cotton
art for any team in the Southern Conference and prob-1
"Big Four" cages as well. Don Smith, the Senior Captain ! n.orrow
rn t
wou . his own against the more publicized schools. The rangy for-
a terrific rebounder and has been known to hit in double figures
prad ically every game.
The Pirate five may win the North State League title, but of course
lid not be even a match for teams like West Virginia and George Wash-
f the Southern Conference.
. of Coach Earl Smith's squad, there are two players who
nothing short, of sensational during the early campaign. Charles
. Kinston netted 24 points against The Citadel for an outstand-
Charleston last week, and a Hawthorne, New Jersey native
las been one of the leading scorers thus far. Incidentally, Otte
11, and an ex-Marine who can hold his own in the rebounding
department as well as the scoring column.
The Siport fans on the street can see why the Pirates are Southern
Conference material with players like this to show ofJ in front of the
rs. Another good point concerning the Bucs is that the majority of
E.C.C. squad are Freshmen and Sophomores. If the Pirates should
win the North State Crown this season, an E.C;C. favorite for the next
two campaigns would definitely be in the making by the experts.
E.C.C. Holds Their Own In Other Sports
East Carolina has and will be making their name known in ijootball
and basketball, but the sports in which the Bucs have proven best at
are coming up. Swimming is a sport in which the Pirates have been able
to cope with many of the major schools, and the same thing can be said
for baseball. The E.C.C. nine takes on many major colleges such as
Wake Forest. Yale, Carolina, to mention a few.
If anyone should suspect that these are the only sports that the
Pirates have proven to be outstanding competitively speaking, they should
take a glance at the golf team, where the Bucs were North State League
champion
Last Carolina is a growing school, not only academically but ath-
ally as well. High hopes have been set for the future .and these de-
sires of all concerned who are connected with the school are slowly but
y beginning to come true at one of the most growing schools in this
irt of the country.
Conerratulatiions to fjur outstanding E.C.C. footballers for the
nomination to the Al! North State team. Glenn Bass and Sonny Baysir.ger
are two halfbacks that the experts could not aftjord to leave ff, and
Vernon Davis as well as Clayton Piland proved to be instrumental durintr
the 1960 campaign in the hard working Buc forward wall.
Glenn Bass continues to receive great honors. The last one was
-ably his greatest. An offer to play in the All-American Bowl against
the schools throughout the land. Incidentally, the Wilson speed
merchant managed to make the honorable mention Little All-American
tion this past season despite being handicapped during part of the
campaign with a leg injury.

Sophomore sensation Cotton Clay-
ton stole the show Saturday night
as East Carolina launched their home
hardwood season off with a come
from behind 80-63 win over Catawba's
Indians.
Clayton tallied 28 points in a daz-
zling exhibition of shooting, and
played an outstanding floor game
that baffled the visitors. Don Smith
and Charlie Lewis scored 16 and 15
points respectively for the winners,
who by clinching the contest in the
final few minutes of play remained
in undisputed possession of first place
in the North State League race.
The underdog Indians played a
University of Maryland tyipe of bas-
ketball during the majority of the
hard fought, but loosely played con-
test by holding the ball, waiting for
the clear shot. This procedure was
paying dividends until the final mo-
ments of iplay when Clayton and Lew-
is led a red hot (barrage of baskets
which spelled defeat for the tourna-
ment champs of 1960.
The first half of play witnessed by
2500 spectators saw a nip and tuck
battle in which the lead changed from
time to time until the initial half
ended with the Indians ahead 30-29.
Clayton was the only Pirate hitting
with accuracy, but his teammates
gave the Henderson, North Carolina
star plenty of assistance during the
final minutes.
With the score knotted at 51 all,
Clayton's two pointer put the Pirates
in the lead to stay with approximate-
ly eight minutes left on the score-
board clock.
Then, it was all East Carolina as
Charlie Lewis. Don Smith, Bill Otte.
Ben Bowes, Lacy West, and Clayton
were too much for the game visitors.
The win left the Pirates with an
over-all 3-1 record, and 3-0 in league
play. Coach Earl Smith's five faced
High Point Tuesday night, and to-
night battle Lenoir Rhyne's
highly rated Bears. In comparative
sc res the Hickory ball club walloped
Pfeiffer 81-56, while the Bucs man-
aged to squeeze out a 71-67 win over
the same opposition.
The Friday night contest will be
the final pre-Christmas attraction of
the year, as the Pii-ates take to the
road next week to Boone and take on
Appalachian's Apps in a December
i- contest. Coach Smith will probably
start thj following lineup in the Len-
oir Rhyne. contest. Guards Cotton
Clayton and Lacy West, forwards
Charlie Lewis and Don Smith, with
cither Bill Otte or Ben Bowes at the
pivot position. Although the Pirates
played a erratic brand of ball against
the Catawba Indians the majority of
the contest, a great deal of poten-
tiality was shown by the aggressive
Bucs. For instance, those final eight
minutes of play against the Indians,
in which the Pirates scored 29 points
was a good idea of just how strong
the Bucs may be during the 1960-61
campaign.

Sophomore Cotton Clayton whose 28 points paced East Carolina's open!
victory over Catawba is seen here in action during the rugged contest. The
all-conference guard is expected to be one of the outstanding players i
the conference this season.
East Carolina College was handed
its first defeat of the season last
Thursday night when it lost a 99-83
game to the Citadel. A contributing
factor was that four Pirates fouled
out with over ten minutes left in the
game. The Citadel boasts a fine team
however as evidenced by the fact that
North 'Carolina State took a beating
Vom this same club last year.
The loss terminated in two game
winning streak of the Pirates, and
left the Hues with a 2-1 record over-
all. Hijrh point man for that night
was Howe of the Citadel, with 25.
E.Cs Charlie Lewis was next with
24 big ones. The Citadel Bulldogs,
inder former N.C. State Wolfpack
star Mel Thompson, are a very promi-
nent member of the Southern Confer-
once, and the loss was not indicative
of the caliber of this year's East
Carolina Club.

One of the all time greats at East
Carolina has been invited to play m
the annual -All-American Bowl at Tu-
scon, Arizona. Glenn Bass, will par-
ticipate in the December, 26 classic.
The speedy halfback will be the first
Pirate in'the history of the school
chosen for this fine bowl.
The All-America Bowl competes
the top players from the large col-
leges against the chosen celebrities
from the smaller schools. Only two
players from the North State Con-
ference were chosen. Besides Ras
Lee Farmer, the -ride of the Lenoir
Rhyne single-wing attack was hon-
ored.
Glenn was chosen first team
Conference, and All-NiAJA dining the
current campaign. The speedy Wilson
native also was an honorable men-
tion selection on the All-American
team.
Missing several key games because
of a leg injury certainly hindered
Glenn from making the first or sec-
ond unit of the small college All
American team. Realizing this def
he was still chosen over other fabu-
! us football standouts throughoul
?he nation to play in the Christmas
season affair.
Glenn was honored in his selection
or the bowl: he was quoted say-
ing "that he only hoped that he could
represent East 'Carolina in a naannei
which would be a contribution to the
school The 6'1" 186 pounder also
tated "that, just being selected t i
uch an affair was a great thing in
his life
The halfback who broke Richmon 13
I a 'k with his lightning 106 yarn
touchdown run in the final BCC con-
test is a definite candidate for pro-
fessional football, and Glenn p'ans
to give it all he has for the big time.
The Los V.geles Rams of the Nation-
al Professional Football Ix-ague may
e first to draft the East Caro-
lina star.

Center Ben Bowes is expected to
carry a big load for the ECC cage
Pirates during the 1960-61 campaign.
Ben is seen in action here during the
Catawba encounter. Ben is a senior
letterman from Burlington, N. C. and
was instrumental in aiding Coach Earl
Smith's charges during his junior
year. The 6' 5" pivot man should see
considerable action in the Lenoir
Rhyne contest tomorrow night.
The Bears are in first place in the
loop standings, but with the aid of
this rangy center, the Hickory school
may find themselves in a different
position after the contest.
