young silky-mannered Dan. .His flat-
tering attentions make of her a

suspecting that her "boyfriend" is
craftily plotting to murder her for
her money.
The strange characters depicted in
'Night Must Fall" are extreme and
dramatically intensified examples of
the hideous conduct that can result
from a lack of affection, usually
stemming from a loveless childhood.
Psychologists insist that the respon-
sibility for seeing that a child
reaches normal, happy, emotionally-
round maturity rests solely with the
I arents, and is dependent upon their
giving the child the love and affection
be needs in his crucial formative
years.
In the Playhouse's presentation of
"Night Must Fall these key roles
will be played by Doug Mitchell as
the homicidal Dan, Karen Best as the
frustrated Olivia, and Doming Jen-
kins as the elderly Mrs. Bramson.
Groups To Conduct
Workshop, Concert
Here This Weekend
Th All-State Orchestra and the
All-State Orchestra Workshop will be
n campus this weekend, January
27-29, to rehearse and then to present
a concert on Sunday.
Frederick J. MttSer, educational
director for Scherl and Roth Inc
( leveland, Ohio, will rehearse and
conduct the orchestra at the concert,
which will be at 2.30 ,p.m. Sunday in
Wright Auditorium.
Nicholas Erneston, from Appala-
chian State Teachers College, will be
in charge of the Workshop, which
will present a concert on Sunday also.
The purpose of the All-State Or-
chestra and Workshop is to give tal-
ented high school musicians an oppor-
tunity to get together and rehearse
under a different and well qualified
director, and to iplay with the better
young musicians in the state. Here,
they are able to perform more diffi-
cult music than they are accustomed
to playing in their high school or-
ganizations. They also have an op-
portunity to meet people, and they
u'et a taste of college life.
The All-State Orchestra is held at
a different school each year. The last
time it came to EC was in 1956.
The students who are included in
the orchestras are chosen through
auditions. Those towns which are rep-
resented are: Greenville, Charolette,
Chapel Hill, Greensboro, High Point,
Kinston, Raleigh, Sniithfield, Blade,
boro, and Burlington.
The All-State Orchestra will (per-
form: "Firebird Suite by Stravin-
sky; Brandenburg Concerto Bach;
'Scherzo from "Midsummer Night's
Dream by Mendelsshon; and "Sym-
phony No. 6 second movement, by
Tschaikwsky. They will also perform:
"Ballet Music from "Prince IgoT by
Borodin; and "Violin Concerto by
Vivaldi-Muller. Muller is directing his
own transcription. This orchestra will
also perform at the Southern Division
of MENC at Asheville, in the spring,
under the same conductor.
The Workshop will perform: Pre-
lude on the Welsh Hymn "Rhosy-
roedre by R. V. Williams-Foster;
"Symphony No. 2 by Haydn; "Ron-
do Expressivo by Beethovan; and
highlights from "South Pacific by
Rodgers.
Dr. Malvin Artley, President of the
State High School Orchestra, from
Burlington will be in charge of ar-
rangements for the weekend event.
He will be assisted by Mr. Kimble
Harrimen, of Greensboro; Miss Mar-
tha Leonard, Greensboro and Donald
Hayes, Louis Danfelt, and James Par-
nell all of the EC Music Faculty.
Sororities Pledge Fifty-One
Panhellenic Formal Rush Concluded;
Anticipation, Expectancy Prominant
Sorority formal rush concluded
January 21 at 1:00 p.m. when rushees
l.icked up their final bids in the Pan-
hellenic room.
As the rushees assembled outside
the Panhellenic room, a noticeable
air of expectancy was present. An-
ticipation was evident as the rushees
entered the room to collect their bids.
iAs soon as the bids were received
there was mixed emotion through-
out the room; girls were laughing
and crying, some from pleasure, some
from disappointment.
The eight sororities and the number
of pledges they received in formal
rush aje: Alpha Delta Pi, 10; Alpha
0micron Pi, 2; Alpha Xi Delta, 5;
Alpha Phi, 3; Delta Zeta, 7; Kappa
Delta, 4; Sigma Sigma Sigma, 10;
and Chi Omega, 10.
Eighty girls signed up for rush;
and fifty-one of these were pledged.
Fourteen rushees dropped out of
rush before the final parties, nine
went to the last parties and did not
not sign a preferential sheet. Twelve
signed preferential sheets, but re-
ceived no bids of their choice.
Due to the fact that some girls only
stated one preference they did not
receive a bid, as there was limita-
tion to quota. Rushees who received
bids but declined them will be in-
eligible to participate in rush again
for one calendar year.
The mechanics of rush this
were quite successful, and the
hellenic Council was pleased
the results.
There were some sororities
did not pledge as many girls as they
had hoped to tpledge, but much
valuable experience was gained. The
sororities worked together harmo-
niously throughout the planning of
rush and rush week.

Cheaper Carvacrol
Purification Means
Ralph E. Mayo, while working un-
der the direction of Dr. Joseph Le-
Conte, discovered a new and cheaper
method for the purification of car-
vacrol. His achievement marks the
first major break-through in this
area in over two years of experimen-
tation.
Carvacrol is an intermediate com-
pound from which the parent sub-
stance (5-aminoearvacrol) for a series
of substituted thioureas of therapeu-
tic value can be composed. The dis-
covery of this new purification meth-
od is the key to the composition of
N,Ndiarylthioureas (substituted thi-
oureas). Prior to Mayo's work N,N-
diarylthioureas were composed only
at such expense that experimentation
with them was impractical.
Presently, Ralph is working under
a National Research Foundation
Grant and is now doing work which
will lead to preparation of the actual
N,Ndiarythiourea compounds.
Ralph, a Greenville native, is a
junior here. He is a chemistry ma-
jor and is a member of Phi Sigma

Science Class Attempts
New Electronics Project
Armed with high hopes and much
enthusiasm, Dr. R. M. Helm's ad-
vanced electronics class is experi-
menting with the construction of
radio tubes. This is the first time
such a project has been attempted
here at ECC.
The project is under the leader-
ship of Dr. Helms, who has been at
ECC for nearly 13 years. He received
a Masters from Duke in 1928 and an-
other from Columbia in 1940. At
New York University he was award-
ed his Doctorate. Dr. Helms aids the
students in every possible way and
is genuinely interested in the prog-
ress. Said Dr. Helms, "I am very
pleased with the experiment. It seems
each time we become hopeful some-
thing disastrous happens which lets
our feathers down
Work began as a class lab assign-
ment, but was continued as a private
project for weeks. The students have
devoted much time and study to this
fxperiment. It was necessary to build
the equipment for the project. The
ovens for baking the tubes were
made with tin cans, asbestos, a heat-
ing element and great imagination.
Tube after tube was broken in its
final stages, but patience and in-
terest were too strong for the idea
to be abandoned.
Finally success came. Two tabes
have been completed. Working on the
triode amplifying tube were Amy
Sue Gwaltney, Jack H. Riddick, and
David L. Persinger. The diode recti-
fying tube, which changes current
from AC to DC, was constructed by

office. Here the chief of the person-
nel office and the former supt. of
the Cape Hatteras National Seashore
Recreational Area will meet with
them. In the afternoon a visit will be
made to the Office of Area Develop-
ment in the Dept. of Commerce.
Here many geographers are employed
in the study of problem areas and
in assisting industries in the selection
of good industrial sites. A final visit
today will be to the Maryland-Nation-
al Capital Park and Planning Com-
mission which is one of the largest
regional planning offices in the
nation.
On Friday an all-day visit is
planned at Army Map Service, an
agency of the Corps of Engineers.

Discipline Committee
Handles Major Problems;
Judiciary Gives Demerits
Presently East Carolina has three stu-
dent c ntrolled judicial bodys. These are The
House Committees, The Women's Judiciary,
and the .Men's Judiciary. The house Com-
mittees give demerits for minor offenses that
occur in the women's dormitories. The Men's
and Women's Judiciaries deal with more seri-
ous offenses. Yet for any major disciplinary
action t be taken and for decisions in all
really serious cases the college relies on a Dis-
cipline Committee made up of five faeulty
and three student members.
This Discipline Committee is not an or-
gan i( the S.G.A but is an appointive com-
mittee set up by the President of the college.
This group operates on a kind of common
law plan and as far as we can determine has
no codified set of laws and penalties. This,
in some aspects, is good since there are ex-
ceptions to all rules and particular circum-
stances related to many violations. Any rule
or penalty should be flexible to some degree.
On the other hand, some aspects of this sys-
tem are not so good. In this country many
of our laws have evolved from the common
law system. Yet today we have codified
these decisions and now depend primarily on
statuatory law with offences and penalties
specified and written down. This assures uni-
form decisions.
There is an even further side one should
consider when viewing our campus judicial
procedures. We feel in most cases students
should govern students. In this way we think
a greater sense of responsibility will be in-
stilled in the student body. Yet under the
present system most serious cases (includ-
ing all cases involving suspension) are han-
dled by a faculty controlled committee.
In the past this committee has demon-
strated a great deal of responsibility and wis-
dom in dealing with these serious cases, still
it is not student government it is faculty
g vernment.
Another point of consideration is the time
element in some casses. The Discipline com-
mittee members serve without pay, and must
contribute their spare time to convene for
a case. This is never convenient to all mem-
bers concerned.
Thus by acting as a first court from
which there is no appeal (except a personal
one t the college president), by having to
assume responsibilities which are not theirs,
and by having no codified system of law the
Discipline Committee becomes unwieldly as
a judicial body.
We propose the following revisions to
the judicial system here.
First: make the Men's and Women's Ju-
diciaries stronger. Give these courts as much
p 8 is needed to handle any situation
they will meet. This includes the power to
suspend or expell students from school.
cond; initiate an Honor Council which
will handle all cases involving honor viola-
tions such as cheating or stealing. To this
body also give the needed powers.
Third; give each student, no mattter how
minor or how serious the violation, the right
of appeal to a higher court when he feels
he has not received justice.
Four; utilize the Discipline Committee
as an appeals court only. This will elimi-
nate many of its cases and cut down on the
number of times it is required to meet.
Fifth: codify all rules and regulations
of the college and of the Student Government
Association, setting up maximum and mini-
mum penalties for the 'violation of each rule.
This will assure uniform decision regardless
f the views of committee members at the
time, but will allow for flexibility in indi-
vidual cases.
We feel these five proposals will make
our judicial system more efficient, more ef-
fective, and more reasonable.

'It's Over
What Happened To
The 80 Who Began?
By SUE SPARKMAN
The aftermath of Panhellenic's for-
mal rush week was filled with smiles,
tears, tiny colored ribbons pinned
ever proud hearts, and in some cases
. . . emptiness. Under the Quota-
Limitation system of Panhellenic, the
eighty girls who began rush were di-
vided by eight leaving a quotient of
ten girls for each sorority.
Rush ended . . . bids were matched
Recording to the preference listed by
girls and sororities (stopped, of
course, when a sorority reached its
quota of ten). Some sororities filled
their quota . . . others did not. They
were limited from the beginning by
having a first preference list of only
ten girls.
What about the rushees? They are
getting smarter every year. They in-
vestigated sororities before rush be-
gan . . . their minds were all but
made up. Rush probably served only
to strengthen these tentative decisions
and, as a result, many girls placed
only one Greek name on their prefer-
ence sheets. Alas! in too many cases
these groups had already reached
their quota no more room.
Our hats are off to these girls who
made a definite choice and who would
rather have nothing than not to have
their chosen group. These girls were
denied the enjoyment of Greek fel-
lowship . . . the sorority was denied
the chance of having them because
of a system designed to keep eight
groups equal.
Hurray for equality! We're all for
it! Let's keep these girls out of sor-
orities until all eight groups fall be-
low a membership of forty-five. While
this might seem to be equality, is it
really what it seems? Does it make
individual rushees equal? Is it equal-
ity to penalize a girl because the
group that she chooses happens to
have a long list of preferences? Or
. . . should 'he be forced into a group
not of her choice in order to become
a sorority girl?
In order to become a member of
her (preferred group, many of these
girls will have to wait until fall or
until the group membership drops
below the magic number . . . forty-five.
Maybe these determined young ladies
Cod bless 'em) will form a sorority
of their own. In this case, look out
. . . they'll go places until they, too,
are handicapped by an equalizer.
Students Observed
In Different Light
Dear Editor:
I think it's about time someone in-
formed the students here at East
Carolina that "they" chose the
school, and the school did not choose
them.
There is someone constantly de-
grading this institution for every-
thing imaginable such as the
school spirit, lack of leadership, poor
administration, poor professors, etc.
It is taken for granted that we can
do nothing about the administration
or the faculty of professors, but we
can do something about the "sore
spots
It's time for us to take some pride
in our school and be proud of its
position. For those who wish they
were going to receive a diploma from
UNC, Duke, or WF, then there is an
open door.
If we, as students, have no interest,
spirit, or pride in our school, then
how can we expect anyone else to
have or do that which we ourselves
will not.

HOW SMALL CAN YOU GET?
Today let us address ourselves to a question that has long rocked
and roiled the academic world: Is a student better off at a
small college than at a large college?
To answer this question it is necessary first to define terms.
What, exactly, do we mean by a small college? Well sir, some say
that in order to be called truly small, a college should have an
enrollment of not more than four students.
I certainly have no quarrel with this statement; a four-
student college must unquestionably be called small. Indeed,
one could even call it intime if one knew what intime meant.
But I submit there is such a thing as being too small. Take, for
instance, a recent unfortunate occurrence at Crimscott A and M.
Crimscott A and M, situated in a pleasant valley nestled
between Denver and Baltimore, was founded by A. and M.
Crimscott, two brothers who left Ireland in 1706 to escape the
potato famine of 1841. As a result of their foresight, the Crim-
scott brothers never went without potatoes for one single day of
their lives-and mighty grateful they were! One night, full of
gratitude after a hearty meal of French fries, cottage fries, hash
browns, and au gratin, they decided to show their appreciation
to this bountiful land of potatoes by endowing a college. They
stipulated that enrollment should never exceed four students
because they felt that only by keeping the college this small

camaraderie, the feeling of belonging, that is all too often lacking
in higher education. ,

SPORTS
REVIEW
By RICHARD BOYD
With a winning basketball season in prospect, and a 7-3 record
accomplished on the gridiron it looks like another fine season for East
Carolina in the field of sports. The baseball team which will be presented
this Spring under the direction of Eean Mallory is expected to have an-
other championship team to make 1960-61 an all winning season for the
Bast Carolina athletic program in major sports.
Some of the Great Teams of Yesterday
During the past decade the Burs have also been holding their
own m various major sports. Going back to 1952 we find that the Pirates
had a great year on the gridiron. The Pirates besides being North State
Champions, wore also a participant in the first Elk's Bowl.
hi 1968 the baseball nine managed to win the regular season cham-
. and went on to greater accomplishments that same year as a
. M in the NAIA Tournament in Kansas City, Missouri. The year
aw another championship team come to Greenville. This season
was an unusual one for the Bucs in sports as the Pirate baseball team
-cd to be champions of the North State loop.
In 1950 East Carolina repeated as league champions on the diamond,
and during the past several seasons Coach Jim Mallory's nine has proven
e most feared team in the league and a match for Atlantic Coast
e representatives.
swimming and golf teams have certainly made their presence
local, state and national circles. The 1957 swimming team proved
XAIA champs, and the 11M.0 golf crew won the North State League
mpionship.
The student body should be proud of the remarkable progress the
tk program has made. Dr. Jourgenson is a most capable athletic
who has been phomoting an outstanding sports program for Buc
ch lack Koone, did a brilliant job with the football squad this
ft, and Coach Earl Smith is doing a tremendous amount of work
i aid the Buc hardwood quint. Swimming Coach Eh Ray Martinez will
face some strong competition in swimming, but thus fiar the ECC swim-
mers have shown good progress.
The Officials Are Having It Rough
Basketball officials make their presence known on the hardwood
similaa to what baseball umpires manage to give the sports fans then-
contributions on the diamond. The first cry of the "typical" ffcn in either
is two blind mice But the fan should remember that these pro-
fessionals have a "bird's eye" view of almost every possible play, and that
they are doing their occupation for financial reasons, and not for preju-
dice ones.
But even the officials and umpires have been known to miss them.
No one is perfect, these men are no exception. A good example of the
hardwood officials having a rough time can be due to two recent incidents
in state college basketball games.
It was Carolina ?s. Notre Dame at Charlotte. The Tar Heels were
rite to defeat the Irish without too much trouble. However, it appeared
ly the Carolina five would taste defeat in that encounter as the
pressed. With the Ta- Heels trailing by three in the closing
S, York Lari se the Carolina high scoring guard was fouled by an
Irish player. The Notre Dame play, r made a remark to the official as if
as giving the game to the powerful Tar Heels. Immediately. a techni-
cs called and Larese, a dead eve from the foul line was gifted with
e free throws. The -AlHA-merk-an candidate netted the foul shot, and
the technical ruling the Chapel Hill school had ball possession at
-court. With only seconds remaining, the well-coached Tar Heels
naturally froze the ball with the lead being in their favor.
Thus the incident between the official and the player led to defeat
for the upset minded South Bend, Indiana crew.
If the fan thinks that was robbery by Carolina, he is entitled to do
so. However, the referee could have done the same thing to a Carolina
player. Naturally, the Irish were upset because they felt that they were
literally robbed of the contest. Perhaps they were, but the moral ofl this
incident was that the official is the boss, and not the player, coach, or
anybody else connected with the basketball game. Once that whistle is
blotm, the players are on the stage, and the officials are the directors.
Another case which was not similar in the respect that it was an
tire y different incident, occurred during the recent Lenoir Rhyne-Bel-
V'boy contest held in Hickory, North Carolina team in the country
Bear h d 10 home game streak jroing prior to the contest.
i g the fina' seconds of this encounter it appeared that the Belmont
Abbey team had victory within their reach with the score 63-60 with less
hili a minute left on the home scoreboard clock. The ball was in the pos-
siOIJ of the home team and a 20 foot set shot was netted by Bear guard
Burton. This made the score 63-02 with only seconds remaining. A

At any rate. A Belmount Abbey player dropped the ball on the

o LR guard Mr. Burton picked up the ball and raced in flor an easy
put the home team ahead for keeps.
The question was who blew the whistle, or was there a whistle
Mown T.e officials claim they did not blow the whistle, but someone up
n the stands could have.
Tfcli was very mid that something like this had to occur, eventually
Belmount Abbey the game. Maybe the college students and basket-
ball fans everywhere can see where the officials really have it rough to
a certain degree.

ur attention to sports goes to the

team This is true of almost every
college in the C.S. After these sports,
basftbttt, track, tennis, and golf take

Some afternoon, when you have
nothing urgent to do and you feel
like taking stroll, why don't you
walk over to the football field and
take a view of the crew. They'll be
doing little things like running wind-
sprints, hundred yard dashes, kick-
ing field-troals and extra points, hav-
ing pass receiving practice, and later
fl in the yar they will be in full
gpnr butting heads together.
Now this may not seem especially
ortant to you. You may My, "So

and every class. They are working
for their education just like the
Walter and the hall-procters. Their
work takes a lot more time and a
lot more energy, but because they
want an education, and because they
love the game, they are doing it.
Now you're probably saying,
"Those poorboys, I feel sure sorry
for them Well don't. They're not
after anybody's sympathy. But they
do deserve respect, and a lot of it.
Contrary to popular belief, they
aren't a bunch of dumb-bunnies who

stead, they are the best group of
men on campus. Hard working, hard
players, they are to be respected!

vertiser.
The Western Carolina Catamount's
tangle with EC's Pirates this coming
Friday night could prove to be a very
exciting contest.
In the last encounter between the
two clubs this year, EC took a 35-72
win. The game followed Lenoir
Rhyne's victory over the Bucs, and
showed an ability the Pirates have
for coming hack after a sound beat-
ing. The Cats from Cullowhee have
a relatively inexperienced basketball
team, as evidenced by the fact that
there are only freshmen and sopho-
mores on the team.
Two sophomores and three fresh-
men regularly compose their start-
ing lineup, and the first two re-
serves iare one fresh and one sopho-
more. However, the main strength
of the WC club stems from its tre-
irendous height. The starters run 6
ft. 8 in 6 ft. I in, 6 ft. 3 in, and
6 ft. 1 in. All reserves who play are
over 6 ft. 5 in.
This could result in trouble for
the Pirates, who are not as tall as
their opponents.
Western Carolina is in the second
half of conference standing, and this
two-game road trip could bolster the
Cats standing. The offense em-
ployed by Coach Jim Gudger is one
that sets the tempo of the game. WC
normally fast-breaks when the op-
portunity arrives, but on normal
situations, Coach Gudger iprefers his
dub to set up and look for a short
ir. close by one of his big men. Dar-
rell Murray is a top scorer, as well
as a coming letterman, Mel Gibson.
Coach Earl Smith reports that his
club is in sound shape physically for
the WC game, and he is expecting
even more improved play from his
starting five. The reserve strength
ir developing into sometihng valu-
able, thinks mentor Smith.
Danny Bowen, Floyd Wicker, and
Jim Fornes have all come around
nicely thinks Smith and assistant
Wendell Carr. This game will be the
second of a four game homestand,
during which the Pirates are look-
ing to iplay giant-killer and take all
four. A main reason for such opti-
ffiisim is that Charley Lewis, Lacy
West, and Bill Otte are scoring more
than they were earlier in the season
nnd this added scoring punch should
help in this second half drive to coip-
conferene laurels. Don Smith is cur-
rently the leading Buc scorer, and is
followed by Cotton Cayton.
The hoopsters are leading the
North State conference in points per
crame, and they could possibly need
to maintain the average Friday
night. Defensively, Smith is looking
for his quint to improve, rising from
their 5th sipot in points allowed per
game.
Over-all, the contest appears to he
one worth watching, and perhaps the
crowds will grow as EC continues to
win at home. The Catamounts are
looking ijor another win, even at
EC's expense.

ECC Swimmers Win Two Meets
On-the-job accidents in the steel
industry declined 33 iper cent during
:be 1960's.
Coach Ray Martinez's East Caro-
lina's swimming team won two out
of three meets with impressive
showings during their four day tour.
The Bucs lost on exciting meet to
V.P.I, at Blacksburg, Virginia !on
Thursday, but slipped passed Appa-
lachian and Georgia over the week-
end.
Against Virginia Tech Loren Sul-
vn. Ed Zschau, and Tom Carroll
raced the ECC swimmers against
trong opposition. Sullivan, a deter-
mined diver won the freestyle event,
and Ed Zschau captured second
lace in the same event. Co-Captain
Tommy Carroll placed first in the
20 for the Bucs.
The Pirates traveled to Boon, N.C.
with an engagement against the
Apps and defeated the mountain
school by the margin of 57-35. John
Baxton a sophomore transfer stu-
oent from UNC was outstanding for
ECC as he swam the best times in
the 100 and 50 yard freestyle races.
Every event that the swimmers won
was a record as the pool is a new
one at Appalachian.
The Pirates invaded Athens, Geor-
gia with a meet with the Bulldogs
and won in that meet. Tommy Car-
roll, Tommy Tucker, and John Bax-
ter were outstanding in that meet.
Tucker, who is the other Buc Co-
Captain captured the 200 yard
i reaststroke.
The trip was valuable to the Pi-
rates in that it iravo them experience
.i gainst rugged competition. The
Hue swimmers showed tremendous
progress during the trip under Dr.
Martinez. The other Pirate loss be-
sides the Virginia Tech contest was
to North Carolina.
