1 rave a seat on the Student
Senate.
For some time there has been a
lot of confusion as to which cafe-
ttria one was eferring when they
Mid New or Old or North or South
cafeteria. A committee was formed
to look into the possibilities of nam-
ing the cafeterias.
Within the last few months, there
has been much talk among the stu-
dents about the hours at which
some of the girl's dormitories close.
It seems that many students feel that
isome of the girl's dormitories close
before others. Many students feel
that this is an injustice to the girls
and their dates. The trouble seems
to lie in the fact that the dormitory
clocks seem to be unsynchronized. A
committee was formed to look into
this matter.
President Speight also asked about
the possibilities of rejoining the Na-
tional Student Association. Several
people volunteered to write other col-
leges to find out why they were in
the N. S. A and if not, why not?
These people would also ask why the
colleges withdrew from N. S. A and
would find out all they could about
the organization.
All members of the Student Senate
were reminded that more than two
unexcused meetings would result in
the forfeit of their Senate seat for
the rest of the college year. The stu-
dent handbook states if anyone is re-
moved from the Senate by this means,
he cannot hold an office in any fra-
'ernity, sorority, or club for the re-
mainder of the school year.
Tom Jackson announced that Pat-
sy Elliott had been elected by the
Publications Board to the editorship
of the East Carolinian.
Jenkins Announces
New Committee
Appointment of a citizens' Advi-
sory Committee for the School of
Nursing has been announced by Pres-
ident Leo W. Jenkins. Six members
will serve on the committee.
"We are grateful that these busy
citizens have accepted the responsi-
bility of assisting us in making the
East Caroline School of Nursing one
of the finest possible Dr. Jenkins
stated.
"The responsibilities of the group
he explained, "are to help us carry on
a constructive program of evaluation
and to reveal to the college the ex-
tent to which we are serving the
needs of this area. The committee will
also have the duty of pointing out
the directions we may go in supple-
menting and improving our program
Members of the new Advisory Com-
mittee are Dr. Ray D. Minges, Green-
ville surgeon; Mrs. Stephen R. Bart-
lett of Greenville, president of the
Pitt County Medical Auxiliary; Dr.
Isa Costen Grant, health director,
Wake County Health Department, an
alumna of East Carolina College.
Ashley B. Futrell, editor of the
Washington, N. C, Daily News and
president of the North Carolina Press
Association; Emory N. Grubbs, ad-
ministrator of the Walker Memorial
Hospital at Wilmington; and Dr. Da-
vid Rose, Goldsboro surgeon, former
North Carolina legislator and past
president of the American School
Board Association.
With 52 students enrolled, the col-
lege began its new four-year program
of nursing at the beginning of the
fall quarter 1960. Provisional accred-
itation as a School of Nursing, ex-
tending through March 1. 1962, was
riven last December by the North
Carolina Board of Nurse Registra-
tion and Nursing Education.
New Editor Advocates
Change In Present System
Patsy 'Elliott, Associate Editor of
the feast Carolinian for the past quar-
ter, was elected editor of the publi-
cation for the 1961-1962 term at a
meeting of the Publications Board
Monday.
She will replace Tom Jackson, pre-
sent editor, at the beginning of spring
quarter for a term of office to run
through winter quarter of next year.
The job, which pays $125 dollars
per quarter, carries a total of ten
points under the Student Government
Association points system.
Miss Elliott commented after her
election, "I realize what a big job
this will be since my past experience
on the paper has shown me some of
the responsibilities of any member of
a newspaper staff. I hope my term
of office will see the East Carolinian
grow with the school and continue to
serve the student body and the col-
lege. I hope the paper will be able to
"inform, educate, stimulate, and
make our readers think" as past pol-
icies have stated.
"In addition she continued. "I
hope to extend our services in many
areas. One of these is on campus
news coverage. Presently I am plan-
ning to enlarge our reporting staff
in order to give more coverage to
campus events by having reporters
present. This is going to take a lot
of work since good reporters are hard
to train. However, I look forward to
a lot of cooperation from the present
staff, as well as faculty members
who have had training and experience
in this field, in helping me recruit
and train these additional reporters.
She added, "I have made no plans
for drastic changes in the policies of
the paper yet. These will be handled
as they arise. I would like to say,
however, that I hope to extend our
coverage into rfome areas which have
not been covered in the past. One of
these areas is the actions taken by
the student judiciaries.
Miss Elliott is a member of Chi
Omega sorority and has been active
in campus affairs since entering Est
Carolina. She is a Junior mathematics
major and is minoring in French. Her
home town is Hertford, North Caro-
lina. ,
Running against Miss Elliott in th-
clection was Marcelle Vogel, Feature
Editor of the East Carolinian.
The Publications Board is composed
of the President of the college, the
Dean of Student Affairs, the Editors.
Business Managers and Advisors of
the campus publications, and three
members at large elected by the stu-
dent senate.

Education Support
Dear Editor:
The convening of the state legisla-
tors in Raleigh last week opened the
Joor to an opportunity for students
here to have a part in promoting
higher education for all of North Car-
olina.
Students and citizens throughout
our state who are interested in edu-
ction are fortunate to have a Gov-
ernor, who has promised that "Edu-
cation will be the rock of his ad-
ministration His goal is to make
North Carolina second to none in the
Held of education! This can not be
done alone.
As students, we benefit everyday
from the educational facilities pro-
vided by our state and should grasp
the opportunity to aid in the fight for
quality education in North Carolina.
This can be done by students taking
time to write their legislators en-
couraging them to back the educa-
tional program headed by Governor
Terry Snnford.
A few minutes of your time will
mean so much to East Carolina Col-
'ege and the field of education in
North Carolina.
Sincerely yours,
Glenn Jernigan

Americans Retain Apathy
Toward Other Countries
Americans, of which Blast Carolina stu-
dents are a part, presently seem to be bless-
ed (or cursed) by a superiority complex.
They have taken the position that we can out
produce any nation on earth (true) and will
always be able to do so (not so true).
This feeling of superiority has caused an
attitude which is generally apathetic toward
the rest of the world.
As a nation we are not knowledgable
about situati ns in the rest of the world.
This is especially true of students who should
be more interested in this field than anyone
rise. We feel the average American student
has a pitiful amount of knowledge about
conditions in Asia, Europe, Africa, or even
in our neighboring Latin American coun-
tries. For example, polls have indicated that
the average American reads only eleven col-
umn inches of foreign news per day.
How many students whjo could give the
hall scores of the latest "big four" game have
an opinion or even a vague idea about any
of the 17 nati- ns in the world who have
achieved their independence in the past two
years?
Americans seem to be too important to
themselves and have very little interest in
other nations in the wtorld or in conditions
in (any place except their own immediate en-
vironment. How many of us have felt any
attachment to the fact that two out of every
three children born in Laos each year die be-
fore they are 10 years old? How many of us
consider the rv.le of the Chinese who make
up one fourth of the total population of the
world? How many of us in this area who so
quickly discriminate against the Negro real-
ize that about 75 per cent of the world's pop-
ulation is not "white"?
Americans fare getting soft not econom-
ically, but mentally. How many of us have
considered that as students we have a re-
sponsibility to remedy this situation?
Newspaper Editor Relates
Changes During Term
Since the beginning of spring quarter
1960 we have experienced many unusual sit-
uations as editor of the East Carolinian.
There have been people with problems, and
people trying to create problems. We have
watched East Carolina grow and mature a
little more. We have seen the passing of one
president and noted the changes initiated
by a new administration.
We have presented opinions and ideas
i n the editorial page which have conflicted
ith those held by most of the student body.
At times we have become so discouraged at
the degree of student and faculty apathy that
editorials designed for nio other reason than
to stimulate Rave been printed.
From these editorials and from the posi-
tions taken by other staff members, we have
encountered a few disagreements. We have
had arguments, spme of which have been stu-
pid, others enlightening. Some have been vio-
lent; others have been passive and indiffer-
ent. Hardly a week has passed when we did
not have to defend our position to Some stu-
dent, administrator, or faculty member.
Over a period of time these arguments
tend bo fall into a pattern. We have found
that most of our serious discussions and ar-
guments become repetitive. We have found
ourselves defending our position on given
topics to the same people over and over.
Occasionally ta new face would appear
acrcss the desk, or a new address on a letter-
head would come in the mail. Yet these were
few. We usually could depend on the same
people to disagree with us from time to time.
This is discouraging. In order to oper-
ate more effectively la codlege newspaper
needs to be involved in controversy. It needs
constant valid criticism of its policies and
positions in order to have adequate frame of
reference from which to operate.
We admit there have been times when
our critics have plagued us with criticisms
which we felt absurd. There hatve been times
when they gave us nothing but headaches.
There have been times when they infuriated
us. Yet it is to these people we express our
appreciation for having enough interest and
integrity to express an opinion.
To those who offered no criticism, and
voiced no opinion we still, and always will,
have nothing but contempt. They are a de-
plorable breed.
So in this, our last editorial, we thank
those readers who have criticized and repri-
mand those who have remained apathetic.
We only hope the critical group, especially
among the student body, will increase under
the next editor.
Editing the East Carolinian has been a
rewarding experience from which we have
gained in understanding, experience, knowl-
edge, and scope. We hope the next editor
will meet experiences as rich as ours have
been and will publish a newspaper which will
"inform, educate, stimulate, and make our
readers think

Think A Little!
Activated Interest
Marks Future For
College Newspaper
By JIM STINGLEY, JR.
Another chapter of the East Caro-
linian has come to an end. Tom Jack-
son has stepped down from the edi-
tor's position and someone else has
taken over. What will happen now?
Will the .paper better itself, or will
it go along as before, or will it fall
apart? We, the staff of the East
Carolinian, will be ipartly responsible
fat whatever happens. But you, the
student, will determine the majority.
Without your help, without your in-
terest, we'll not advance an inch. Ke-
n.emtber that this paper is by tne stu-
dents, and foe the students. It is you,
and eerything you think or do con-
cerning campus affairs.
This next period of our college time
will be filled with many subjects thai
will merit discussion and controversy.
There will he issues that you will not
agree on, some you do agree on, and
some that you won't be sure of. Don't
just sit there reading the funnies and
gazing placidly out the window. If
you don't agree with what we say,
then do something about it! Let us
know how you think and how you
feel it should be. We aren't mind-
readers, nor do we have a crystal
ball, and the only way we can really
be sure of how the campus is thinking
is to hear from you.
One issue that is looming bigger
and bigger as the days go by is that
of integration. .Should we or shouldn't
we? Will we or won't we? How do
you feel about it? Do you want it or
are you against it? Can you back up
your argument? If you can, then do
so. Let us and the campus hear what
jou have to say, for this way interest
will be created and all will benefit.
One thing is for certain, integration
is something that is too big a topic
for us not to think about. Or talk
about. Or do something about.
Several of our staff members have
recently been to conferences north of
the Mason-Dixon line. New York and
Chicago were tw0 of the cities visit-
ed. They came back and had some
very interesting things to say. Things
like how so much superior the north-
ern schools are compared to us. They
n entioned that interest was a high
note in all the northern schools. Not
just camipus interest, but interest in
how the rest of the world is doing.
All of the northern college editors
had something to say about practical-
ly everything and could back it up.
11 might he an integration, or Laos,
or Labor Unions, but they still had
the facts and this showed that they
are not sitting still. We are.
There is no reason why we can't
have the same activated interest as
do these northern schools. Our cam-
ipus has plenty of sense, if they would
only use it. Perhaps it would be a
good thing to remember that no mat-
ter what happens, the world will soon
be ours to live in, to work with and
to try and make something out of it.
If we don't have the interest created
now, then it's a pretty good bet that
we won't have it when we will need
it most.
Give it some thought. If you dis-
agree, then let the campus hear your
disagreement and why you made it.
If you think something is good, then
let the world know you think it's
good. Perhaps by doing that, there
will he more of it. No matter what
you do, remember this, this paper is
here for you to use. It is dedicated
to you. You can only .profit by sup-
porting it .

Who Benefits From ProfessionalAFilers'?
Why can't Johnny read? This is a
question one hears occasionally. The
answers are numerous; their diver-
gence is magnanimous. The public
asks, the teachers reply, the legisla-
ture appropriates. 1-2-3. It's that
simple. It's "too" simple, and some
who think are beginning to offer
other answers, otner solutions. Here
is one: "the pofessional file
The professional file contains a
multitude of material. This material
ranges far and wide. It contains tour-
ist folders, public health pamphlets,
comic strip advertising, propaganda,
and just about any other type of ma-
terial which may be obtained (es-
pecially by teachers) by writing to
the public relations department of
industrial, transportation, advertis-
ing, lobbying, or propaganda produc-
ing corporations.
Many hours are spent in compiling
these files. iSome courses are built
abound the assembly of these files.
Much emphasis is placed on the file.
Is it worth what it seems?
We don't think that it is. We think
that the professional file and it3 ad-
vocates are the roots of the answer
t- the opening question. Johnny can't
read because his teacher cant read.
Johnny's teacher can't read because
his teacher spends too much time in,
around, and working on "professional
files
Johnny gets the benefits of the pro-
fessional file. He learns that certain
railroads, publishing houses, steel
mills, optical houses, and lobbies are
good. He thinks these are good be-
cause he has listened to his teacher
expound upon the processes and pro-
ducts of these groups. His teacher's
ideas, of course, come from the vari-
ous materials he (she) has assembled
dining his (her) college career.
All of the material that one finds
in the professional file is not of the
type mentioned above, but one may
rest assured that Johnny will receive
the underlying advertising and prop-
aganda resulting in his adoption of
the stereotype jargon with which he
is steadily bombarded.
The people of this state are con-
cerned about education; the "profes-

other hand, the emotional, and con-

by parents, and even by teachers.
It has been my pitiful experience
to meet on this campus many children
who call themselves adultnarrow-

their friends, and have no tolerance
for the beliefs of others.
Why do they refuse to grow? The

them being that these people do not

passing their naive ways and beliefs

They are also supported by the ad-

set of rules, some of them ridiculous
almost beyond belief, for the "little

sanctimoniously back and rigidly en-

real empathy for the position of the

Society Awaits Freedom's End;
Brief Interlude Soon Runs Out
Tired Crew Lacks Spirit,
'Next Year' Plans Gone Forever
We are tired; we are disgusted; we
are passive; WE ARE SENIORS.
The homestretch is coming into
view and the upperclassmen are not
shouting rejoices, because the energy
is lacking. Unfortuntely, the old
freshman spirit has been smothered
long ago and even graduation day
doesn't look as inviting as it did
several years ago.
After months and months of class-
es we suddenly realize that our home
is going to be upset, our laundry will
no longer be done by someone else's
hands, all secondary and primary
groups will soon be shattered, and
the future looks pretty dismal.
But the worst realization is that
after nearly four years of so-called
learning, we suddenly take an inven-
tory of our education and find that
"we haven't learned too modi and
this is bad.
Going back, to the freshman days
we remember several discoveries: (1)
that all college graduates should
know how to finesse in bridge (2)
that it's cheaper to go home on the
weekends and (3) that next year one
can compensate for the low grades
made this year.
After plowing through several
years of these rationalizations we
have practiced the first two discov-
eries and the third is still quoted but
unfortunately "next year" will never
come. A college career has been wast-
ed; a true education has been lost.
Jtecapturing this "once in a lifetime"
is impossible and we are DISGUST-
ED.
"Next Year" we shall try our hand
with the art of teaching. But how
can anyone expect to teach ignorant
students when we are ignorant? How
can we flaunt our knowledge when
we have so little?
We are Tired. But are we tired of
studying? Instead, we are tired of
trying to think . . . thinking about
our future, thinking about what we
should know and don't and thinking
about where we can find a nice dark
empty cave, for uneducated college
graduates but there are none.

Duties . . . Obligations . . . The
college years seem, to us, to be a
brief interlude between the restric-
tions of home and the engulfing so-
ciety which awaits us.
They are years when we have free-
doms that should be exercised.
Ours is a special world; problems
common to the masses do not trouble
us. The monster, 'society does not
have us in his clutches . . . although
he tries in many obscure ways. Lest
we be caught up in the race of the
mediocre, let us come as close to
life as we can . . . for this may be
our only opportunity.
As genuine, certified, identification-

ours, the freedom:
to be different and try on new ideas,
plunge into theory, question, and thus
form our convictions;
to express our opinions whenever
and wherever the occasion arises, and
to give and accept criticism gracious-
ly;
to find ourselves through oneness
and loneliness;
to look upon the pattern set for
our lives, and if we dare, to cast it
aside;
to profit through our relationships
and acquaintances, to take something
of everyone we meet with us;
to learn the true meaning of loyalty
to friends and self;
to lose love and overcome pain and
hurt; t
to search unceasingly for that last-
ing love;
to be extravagant and impractical
even when conscience demands other-
wise;
to be democratic if we feel like it;
to openly admit uncertainty;
to accept the challenges common
sense would ordinarily expel
to keep odd hours;
to ignore rules and regulations;

Jumping Plate, 'Choice'
Steak Result In Frenzy
bh hoy mart is
The . ther evening, with
ger consuming my insides, I ventured in uj"
direction of the cafeteria.
As I stJ od in the line my eye caujrh
sight of a small sign which indicated
rib steak was being served. With one of
greatest weaknesses being steak, im J?
ately I motioned &j the person behind
counter that I would have steak.
Upon reaching the end of the line
1 ltd the tray and sought an empty tLI
somewhere among the crowd. In the far
ner I spotted a table, and headed in ttrt"
direction with glasses, pfetes, etc. precariZ
iy balanced on the tray.
Upon reaching the table. I lowered th
tray, and removed the dishes and placed them
before me. I st.od there for a minute drink
ing in with sheer delight the sight of th"
food. I could hardly wait to begin the attack
with my knife and fork.
I sat down, picked up my utensils and
began with the steak. As I began cutting the
meat, an unusual thing happened. The knife
began to bend. I applied more pressure to
the handle of the knife, and then the plate
began to slip to the left. I applied more pres-
sure, and the plate slipped to the right, thee
forward, then backward. Finally as srj
hunger began to turn to somewhat of a fren-
zied struggle as the plate began t Jump"
creating a slapping noise as it struck the table!
I stopped for a minute to rest. Then
began the battle again. Eventually, I was able
to cut WH a small portion of the meat wh;ch
I immediately put into my mouth. I began to
chew up and down, around and around
I tried every method of chewing known
to man. Finally 1 became worried, because
I began to hear my jawbone crack, as if it
was slipping out of joint.
Thinking perhaps it was just luck that
I managed to draw such a steak as this, I
began to feel self conscious as I realized how
I must have koked as I battled the steak
However, as I looked around to see if anvone
had noticed my actions, what a sight it was'
People were sitting all ever the cafeterii
with their plates sliding from side to side,
while others were laboriously chewing.
The moral of this story' is either swear
eff steak, or suggest to the cafeteria staff
that from now on they purchase shoe leather
instead of steak. I am sure it would serve
the same purpose.

It's funny how we spend the major Dart
of our lives drifting along aimlesslv without
purpose or rhyme. Then one day we realize
that we are at a crossroads with signs point-
ing in all directions. Where do we go from
here, we wonder . . . with a frightened look
on our faces we begin to read the signs posted
at the intersection.
One sign may point to the village of
Contentment where life is a delightful exist-
ence. Yet we are aware that Contentment
village is only for the ones who are happy
to be the followers. Njot that being a follower
is so wrong, it's just that we lose our identi-
ties in a crowdtand in such a country as
ours, we need dynamic citizens who are cap-
able.
Anpther sign may point to Tolerance
l.own. This is the town where individuals
simply accept things as they are . . . because
the citizens are uninterested or too tezy to
put forth the effort to make progressive
changes. v
Still another sign may point to Capable
city where citizens lead busy and industrious
lives. These citizens are efficient with their
dated ways yet they are too efficient to create
new methods.

the city of Frontier. Frontier is a city of small

Campus Cheerleaders
Dear Editor:
So Miss Elliott thinks the Atlantic
Christian cheerleaders outclassed our
own? May I ask just what made their
"yells" collegiate as opposed to "the
high school' yells our cneerleaders
try to lead us in ?" So she thinks that
the AC cheerleaders "conveyed their
own spirit and enthusiasm to the
sports fans?" How naive can one be?
No group of cheerleaders could have
conveyed the enthusiasm that bubbled
from that crowdit was there to be-
gin with! Those fans wanted their
team to win, and they could have
cared less whether those cheerleaders
iiad been enthused themselves or not.
Miss Elliott, as the heading to her
article suggests, thinks our cheer-
leaders have forgotten their purpose.
What is their purpose? As far as I
can see, it is to organize the enthu-
siasm of the crowd into shouting to-
gether so that everyone will be say-
ing the same thing at the same time.
It seems to me that the fault lies,
not with our cheerleaders, who put
their 'all into their job, but with our
fans, who just simply do not care
enough about organized cheering.
No, our cheerleaders are not per-
fect; nor, I daie say, are they the
best cheeleaders in the whole world-
but they certainly do not deserve the
harsh criticism that they receive. "Let
he who is himself without blame cast
the first stone. . .

Athletic Events Lack Enthusiastic Support
By MARY AjNTSIE PEtNNINGTON
The student body has finally no- is not made public.
ticed the lack of spirit and enthusiasm
at its athletic events. But instead of
attending the games, yelling a "little
louder and giving tohe cheerleaders
the support they need, the students
have responded by and (placed the
blame on the cheerleading squad.
It has never occurred to many of the
students that cheerleading at EC is
an especially difficult job because
the spectators stubbornly refuse to
participate by following the yells, or
even beginning them. No wonder the
cheerleaders ask themselves why they
are taking time out of their already
tight schedules in order to attend
I practices and the games three times
a week. There is very little satisfac-
tion in cheering for EC because the
fans do not appreciate the effort put
forth and if there is any gratitude it
Because the fans do not cheer at
the games, the cheerleaders are
blamed. Why? What supernatural
power do the cheerleaders possess
which can enable them to make a
stubborn, apathetic audience leap to
its feet and enthusiastically cheer
for its team? No one can do that but
the audience itself. The fans have
to support their cheerleading squad
wholeheartedly, but most of all they
have to want to yell. If there is a
problem existing, it is not what is
wrong with EC's cheerleaders but why
the spectators do not want to yell.
It has been said that the students
don't want to yell because the cheers
are more "high school" than
cheers anymort "high school" than
the other North Carolina colleges?
North Carolina colleges have a long
way to go before catching up to the
quality and originality of the cheers
used by such institutions as Penn
State, Villanova, FSU, and Colorado
State. Because of the limitations put
on the squad concerning the type
cheers used, the yells have a certain
"high school twang That is not rea-
son though for the fans to give up and
not try to help the squad obtain any-
thing better.
Let's not fool ourselves . . . the
quality of cheers is not a reason for
failing to have spirit and enthusi-
asm at our athletic events. And until
the real reason is discovered, if there
is one besides that of laziness, we
would like to think that the student
body will continue to attend EC's
sporting events and give the cheer-
leading squad the support it needs.

Industrial Program Challenges
Students To Learn Skills
"In the school program an indus-
trial arts department should not be
a 'catch-all' for people who can't do
anything else but learn the manual
skills " Dean Robert L. Holt of East
Carolina College told a group of
school administrators and teachers of
industrial arts at a conference on the
campus here Friday, February 10.
The industrial ails program should
rather, he explained, present a chal-
lenge to students to learn some of the
skills that will help and interest them
throughout their lives.
Dr. Holt spoke at a luncheon dur-
ing the Third Annual Industrial Arts
Conference staged by East Carolina
College. Approximately 40 interested
educators from a wide area of the
state attended the meeting.
"Not only, the East Caolina Dean
said, "should the industrial arts pro-
gram fulfill the aim of giving more
people better training for their vo-
cations, but also it should include in
its purposes services in the broad
field of avocation training
"More leisure time in the future for
practically everybody means he said,
"that people must have something in-
teresting to do. In training people in
useful skills, industrial arts teachers
fee continued, "will provide profitable
and enjoyable activities which can be
carried on throughout a ifetime
With Dr. Kenneth L. Bing, direc-
tor of the East Carolina department
of industrial arts as moderator, a
panel discussion Friday morning cen-
tered attention on the planning and
construction of school shops for in-
dustrial arts.
Speakers and their topics were Lee
Chapman of the I. M. Wilson Junior
High School, Rocky Mount, "Types
of Industrial Arts Programs and
Ships George Shoe, Greenville ar-
chitect, "Problems in Planning the
Industrial Arts Shop and R. F.
Lowry, superintendent of Washington
County Schools, "Need for Industrial
Arts in the Eastern North Carolina
School Program
A tour of the East Carolina indus-
trial arts department in the Flanagan
b ulding completed the program for
he day. Of particular interest to
visitors was the new department of
graphic arts recently set up at the
college.
Dr. Thomas J. Haigwood of the
East Carolina industrial arts depart-
ment acted as chairman of the con-
ference.
Tommy Hull, Doug Mitchell, Doming
Jenkins, and Karen Beat kept this
play from falling into complete bore-
dom. Their development of the psy-
chological moods from Tommy Hull's
subtle, yet extremely humorous
characterization of a typical, "unmi-
tigated boor Karen Best's ability
to captivate an audience so that even
when she began to speak in a whisper
of weird things to come, everyone was
completely drawn to her, Doming
Jenkins' performance of an utterly
disagreeable and pessimistic hypo-
chondriac, to Doug Mitchell's violence
and his quick change-of-pace in ac-
tion and voice kept the suspence at a
maximum.
Adding to the comic relief of ths
play, was Judy Wilson as the sharp-
tongued, sarcastic housekeeper, who,
in her earthy manner received sev-
eral well-earned laughs. Alice Corio-
lana, with only three appearances on
the stage, carried out her part of
the district nurse with a great deal
of competence in her brisk and effi-
cient manner of walk and speech.
John Quinn and Susan Truesdale in
the parts of the Scotland Yard de-
tective and the pregnant maid respec-
tively, played minor parts which were
handled fairly well. The main criti-
cism of Mr. Quinn is that his very
British accent was lost by lack of
volume and many lines were lost to
over half of the audience. Miss Trues-
dale, returning for the first time since
her role of Anne Frank thankfully
had none of Miss Frank in her por-
trayal but could have made her im-
pression much stronger.
One of the better aspects of this
production was its continual advance-
ment toward the climax in the last
act. There was no major place
where the play went downhill and
had to start up again. All in all. the
r.lay itself was more on a high school
level with the actors themselves and
their representations left to make it
an enjoyable evening at the theater.

Ethiopian Emperor Receives
Plea From Boston University
BOSTON, MASS. (UPS) A peti-
tion containing the signatures of
1400 Boston University students and
faculty members has been mailed to
Emporer Haile Selassie of Ethiopia
in an effort to secure aid for a stu-
dent who returned to Ethiopia after
completing his studies at Boston Uni-
versity last June.
The student, Assrat Deferesu, faces
possible execution as a result of his
1 aiticipation in the recent revolt in
his native country.
According to Howard Walker of the
African Studies program at Boston
University, the signatures were ob-
tained within a day and a half. The
petition reads:
"Your Royal Imperial Majesty: We
understand that Assrat Deferesu, a
former student of Boston University,
has been involved in the recent dis-
turbance in Ethiopia and that he
faces possible execution for his par-
ticipation.
srat lived and ate with us in
dormitory. He joined us in our
classes. He participated in our dis-
:ons. He shared our University
life. Many of us know him well. We
do not want to see him die.
'ito students, we are equally con-
cerned over the safety of some of the
students at the University College of
Addis Ababa who are reported to
have been involved in the recent up-
rising. We hope nothing will be done
to jeopardize the right of students to
influence, now, the world they will
shortly inherit.
"We appeal to your Imperial Ma-
jesty to appreciate our feelings for
our classmate, to consider these fun-
damental rights of students, and do
what only you have the power to do
save the life of our friends and pre-
serve the active concern of students
for their future responsibilities?

Phi Delta Kappa Fraternity Hears Comments
On Russian Schools; VS Schools Superivr
Members of the Delta Alpha Chap-
ter of Adipha Phi have begun their
annual service iprdjeot by helping
mentally retarded children at the
Wahl-Coates Training School.
The sorority began the project this
week and will continue it through
May. Alpha Phi members help at the
school by working with children with
IQ's ranging from 50-70. Visiting the j
jMShool twie a week, fthey teach
games; art or music; tell stories; and
engage in other actiivities that will
entertain the children as well as aid
them mentally.
Sorority members are particularly
interested in the project because
most of them are future teachers and
feel that the experience of working
with the children will help later in
their teaching careers. The sorority
hopes to continue the project in the
future.
Those pairticpating in the project
for the next few weeks are:
Rebecca W. Lanier, Rebecca Coley,
Marilyn Boone, Rachel Andrews, Pat-
y Royal, Dorothy Smith, Judith
Thornton, and Kay Rodriguez, chair-
man of the project.

Southwestern Tour Combines
Sightseeing, Study Privileges
Dorm Space Available
Dormitory rooms for men are
now available for Spring Quarter.
Persons living in town or com-
muting may receive dormitory
rooms by applying at the Hous-
ing Office at any time during
the remainder of this quarter.
For all freshmen who are now
assigned to the dormitory, it is
a college requirement that they
continue to live in the dormitory.
In the event there are freshmen
who wish to move into a frater-
nity house or into a private home,
they must first receive permis-
sion from the Dean of Student
Affairs before they move.
Plans for East Carolina College's
11 Summer Travel Tour of the
Southwestern United States are un-
derway. Already the number of appli-
cations is well over half the total
needed to conduct the tour.
Dr. Robert E. Cramer, Professor of
Geography and Tour Director, re-
ports that letters of inquiry are be-
ing received daily from many states,
and applicants have signed up from
as far away as Florida. Four of those
joining the tour have been with Dr.
Cramer on previous tours he has con-
ducted for the college.
The tour to the Southwest will take
place June 4-July 3 during the first
term of summer school. Nine quarter
hours of college credit can be earned
in either geography or education,
and at either the undergraduate or
the graduate level. Credits can be ap-
plied to work towards a degree or to
certificate renewal.
Those interested in the tour, but
not needing college credits, may also
join the group.
Travel will be by chartered air-
LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS
conditioned buses, with stops sched-
uled at first-class hotels and motels.
Nineteen states and Juarez, Mexico,
will be covered during the thirty day
tour.
Some of the highlights include New
Orleans, ,a dude ranch in Texas,
Carlsbad Caverns, Juarez, Grand
Canyon, Boulder Dam, Las Vegas,
Los Angeles, Yosemite National Park,
San Francisco, Salt Lake City, Colo-
rado Springs, St. Louis, Louisville,
and the Smokies.
The Southwestern tour, planned as
irore than a sightseeing tour, will
combine education with pleasure. As
on the other travel tours conducted
by Dr. Cramer, mimeographed sheets
will be supplied each day, listing the
time of departure and highlights of
the day. The geography of the coun-
try to be seen that day will be des-
cribed, as well as points of historic
importance.
Also, pamphlets and folders will be
distributed along the way to fami-
liarize each student with the state,
city, or special items to be visited.
In addition, colored slides will be taken
by the Director, and duplicates can be
purchased or slides borrowed without
charge for private showings.
VA Urges Prompt
Report Of Income
Approximately 22,000 disabled vet-
erans and dependents of some 13,000
deceased veterans in North Carolina
who receive monthly pension pay-
ments, are being reminded by the
Vetenauis Administration to report
their annual income promptly and
avoid the risk of having their pay-
ments stopped.
J. D. DeRamus, Manager, Veter-
ans Administration Regional Office,
Winston-Salem, said that VA is now
mailing to all pension recipients a
tabulating card upon which the in-
come report may be made. Pensions
cease under the old pension law if
the income of a single individual ex-
ceeds 1400, or $2700 if the recipient
has dependents.
Under the new law, Manager De-
Ramus pointed out, pensions will
cease if the income of a single in-
dividual exceeds $1800, or $3000 if
the recipient has dependents. The
amount of pension may be reduced if
the recipient's annual income rises
from one of the lower income brack-
ets$600 and $1200 for a single vet-
eran or widow without dependents,
and $1000 and $2000 for a veteran or
widow with dependents.
Dependent parents who receive de-
pendency and indemnity compensa-
tion also receive income question-
naires and their payments are simi-
larly regulated by the amount of
their income, Mr. DeRamus added.
Regulations require payment to be
stopped if the income report is not
returned to the VA within 30 days.
No income questionnaire is sent to
veterans or widows who are receiving
service-connected benefits.
"People in the United States are
being misinformed when they are told
that Russian schools are better than
those in this country Superintendent
Jean .P. Booth of Kinston schools told
an audience at East Carolina College
Feb. 4.
"In some areas he said, "they
may be ahead of us. The over-all
picture shows, however that the Am-
erican school is far superior
Mr. Booth was principal speaker
at a meeting of the Delta Pi Chapter
of Phi Delta Kappa, national honor-
ary education fraternity.
His comments were based on his
observations during an inspection
tour of Russian schools in October,
1960. With 21 other educators he
visited Russia under the sponsorship
of the U. S. State Department.
Of the 2,000 schools in Russia, Mr.
Booth said, 51 per cent are one-teach-
er schools. Buildings, 81 per cent of
whih were built before 1917, present
a drab appearance on the exterior, and
classrooms are poorly lighted. In
general, he said, equipment is not
modern.
Little or no flexibility, he stated,
is evident in the curriculum or in
methods and techniques of teaching
in Russia. Instruction, he continued,
is authoritarian, and great emphasis
is placed on drill and memorization
in the classroom.
Library facilities are exceedingly
poor, Mr. Booth told his audience. A
school with 1460 students, one of the
largest which he visited, provided only
eight seats for readers, he stated.
, Russia, however, he said, there
H no dropout problem, for those
that discontinue academic work are
placed in jobs on farms or in industry.
If a disciplinary problem with a
child arises, Mr. Booth explained, so-
cial pressure is brought to bear on
his parents by other parents of the
community.

These and many other gala sounds
fiilkd the College Union Tuesday
ight as the annual C. U. Winter
Carnival got under way. It was a
college "event" to say the least. Gay
decorations, pretty girls, colorful
"barkers candied apples, and an en-
ojmous crowd made the carnival a
iremenous success.
Cotton CandyCandied Apples
No carnival is a carnival without
tho tasty treats which are associated
vith them, and this one had no lack
of them. Alpha Xi Delta fu mi shed the
popcorn, Tri-Sig 'pushed the French
fries and drinks, Alpha Omicron Pi
bold the hot dogs, and The Lutheran
Student Association topped it off with
the true Carnie treat of cotton candy
and candied apples.
The Real Thing
In the entertainment line, there,
were many games such as you would
find in a "real live" carnie. The Eng-
Msh Club came through with a dart
throwing skit, The Chi Omegas with
a penny-pitching at floating saucers
game (which I failed miserably at
every attempt), the Young Democrats
with their Football throw through
a swinging tire, and the KA's "Un-
touchables" with their basketball toss
ii.1'0 an open commode.
Moving farther down the line you
would find the Tau ;Sigma's with
their "Marrving Sam" booth (ten
cent? for marriage, fifteen for n di-
voree), 'picture taking by the YMCA-
YWCA, penny toss by the Circle K.
and a colorful exhibition of candle-
squirting by the Sig Eps. This one
practically caused a riot at one time.
One of the highlights of the Carnie
was the pie-throwing display put on

Rounding out the Carnie was the
Phi Mu .Alpha's Dance Hall, Delta
Sigma Phi's Ugly Man Contest, the
Delta Zeta's Bowling Alley, and the
Industrial Arts Club with their Ham-
mering Nails contest.
After all was over, the prizes were
given out. The A. C. E. Booth grabbed
first place wilth their "Ring the Girl's

$1000. The $7.50 second prize went

it will be a college first that will be
long- remembered. Many thanks should
go to Miss Mendenhall for her help
in creating this project and also to

EC Pirates Seek Revenge At AC fe2BT5 SS
SPORTS !
By RICHARD BOYD
In Wilson
BCC On Scoring Spree
Coach Karl Smith's high scoring Pirates have averaged 101 points
per contest during their last two home engagements with WCC and Elon.
The Saturday night offensive show sitaged by the men of Coach Smith
staggered the Elon Christians to the extent that they could not catch the
Bucs, but came within a few points several times. One of the primary rea-
sons for the offensive showing by EOC has been Lacy West. The rangy
forward lias averaged 23 points per game during these home encounters.
ECC's 106 points against the Christians Saturday night was out-
standing. The win gave the Bucs undisputed possession of second place in
the North State League standings. The Pirates hit more consistently
than they have in any other contest. The 60 point half-dime scoring spree
could come close to becomings school record for the first half of action.
Elon Better Than WCC
Elon showed a more potent outfit than their predecessors here on
Friday night. Their shooting, passing, and rebounding looked entirely
different from that of the Western Carolina five. But the ball stealing
tactics of Lewis, the amazing accuracy of West, the playmaking and
shooting of Clayton, and the rebounding of Smith spelled humiliation for
the visitors from near Burlington.
High Scoring First Half
Never had the Bucs been so deadly with their shooting tactics than
they wore daring that first half of action. The Christians exhibited a fir-
ing barrage that accumulated 52 points, but retained an eight points de-
ency during the initial half. ECC cooled off during the final half
still managed to go into a spree during the later portion of the game.
with reserve Danny Bowen coming off the bench and hitting for eight
tallies, mostly on long shots.
Bucs Too Strong For WCC
When East Carolina scored 97 points against Western Carolina
Friday night it was the maximum number of points that the Pirates had
scored during the cage season. The Bucs simply raced their opponents
completely off the hardwood with their "horserace" type of basketball
employed by Coach Earl Smith.
The Catamounts from the mountains have a young team that is
big and aggressive, but their brand of basketball was immature in com-
parison with the Pirates. When Western Carolina does mature their oppo-
nents had better watch out, because the Catamount cagers do have the
potential. But their freshman dominated team was no class for the more
experienced home team in the North State encounter.
Prior to tip-off time, East Carolina had been a victim of a two
game losing streak. ACC nipped the Bucs by a 61-60 margin. In a contest
that ECC hit on only 28 per cent of their shots the Catawba Indians mas-
tered an early visitor's lead to whip the Pirates and knock them into a
second place tie.
Fast Break Working
What did East Carolina do so differently in Friday night's contest
that they have not one in other games? The Bucs employed a fast break
that worked like a charm is the only logical explanation. In fact, it worked
so effectively that the visiting team was actually frustrated at the type
of play that the home team was demonstrating. The most fatigued player
in the game should have been guard Charlie Lewis. The Kinston native
sprinted time after time on the fast break to gather in his team-mate's
passes and netted all but a few his lay-up attempts. The 6'1" Junior
had to take a backseat to guard Cotton Clayton and Captain Don Smith
in the scoring department, but the scoring between the three was very
close. Clayton netted 22, (8 for 8) on the foul line. Smith hit for 21, the
majority of them being on jump and push shots, and Lewis rammed home
20 points, while Lacy West contributed 18 points.
But it was Charlie who made the fast break work. Late in the one-
sided affair Coach Smith decided to give his star a rest, and the race horse
type of basketball which the ECC coach drilled into his personnel seemed
to die out, and the Bucs quit hitting" on their consistent fast breaks.
Clayton Hits
Cotton Clayton, who is living up to his expectations thrilled the
1500 partisan fans with his scoring tactics underneath the basket. Several
of the 03" guard's shots were taken without viewing the basket. Clayton
also hit several times from the outside, and his excellent foul shooting
demonstrated why his 22 points surpassed his usual 15 per game.
Last Home Game
As in the Elon contest, it was truly a team effort to win the WCC
affair, and the Bucs are definitely one of the teams to beat for the playoff
championship in the North State League. The Elon contest won by the
Bucs was the last home game of the season for the Pirates. Thus, if EiCC
fans wish to see their team in action for the remainder of the campaign
they will have to do some traveling.
Three Activities In One Night
It is a shame that the Elon contest had to be played the night of
a play and a dance here on campus. It seems as though something should
have been done about this conflict. Two activities in one night at ECC is
not fair to the students, but sometimes these things cannot be helped. But
three activities in one night is all but out of the question.
Next Saturday the Bucs hit the road to Wilson to renew their
feud with ACC's Bulldogs. We remember what happened when the Bull-
dogs last hit Greenville. That was several weeks back and the Wilson
school claimed a one point victory during the last 15 seconds. However, an
enthusiastic visiting crowd, and some excellent cheer leaders aided their
team on to victory. Why can't we have this same spirit when our Bucs
invade Atlantic Christian this Saturday night?
The Pirates should le "up" for this encounter since the heartbreak-
ing defeat three weeks ago. (Although the ECC quint lost the home game,
tensions were at a high through the hard played contest.
It has been a school custom for ECC students to pack the ACC
gym when these two schools met during recent years. The student body
should not want to break that tradition in Saturday night's encounter.
Coach Smith will probably employ the same starting five which he has
started for the majority of the home contest. Clayton, West, Smith, Otte,
and Lewis, with Ben Bowes ready for plenty of action as the sixth man.
An exciting contest should be in stoi-e when the two rivals meet this
Saturday night in Wilson.
Contest Set For
Saturday Night
Will Atlantic Christian retain the
Bohunk Trophy? Will WCC break two
game losing streak to the Bulldogs
from ACC? Can East Carolina, by
winning assure itself of second place
in the North State Conference? The
answers to these and other important
questions will be given next Satur-
day night when EC plays AC at Wil-
son. For the past two games, the
final outcome has been decided in the
last, few seconds. On the first game
of last season, EC won at Wilson by
the score of 70-57. However, when
the men from .Atlantic Christian
made their return engagement here,
they won the Bohunk Trophy. In the
first meeting between the two clubs
this year, the Bulldogs were able to
ieain the trophy by squeaking out a
last second win.
East Carolina by beating Elon, re-
tained possession of second place in
the North State League standings.
The Pirates should carry this posi-
tion into the conference playoffs held
in Lexington, North Carolina.
Tack Boyd. whose field goal in the
last !5 seconds defeated the Bucs is
rtill in second place in the North
Stae scoring race. The Bulldog has
iveraged 20 points per contest. This
will be Boyd's last North State Con-
ference contest. Dick Knox and Jerry
Fritz are other Bulldogs that will be
main threats to the ECC cause.
Don Smith's Last Conference Game
Don Smith of ECC will be playing
his last conference game against
the Bulldogs. The Buc captain with
the possession of a great scoring eye
as been the leading Pirate scorer
this season. Smith has played some
rreat basketball for the Bucs during
the past four seasons. Coach Earl
Smith feels that this year's quint has
had its ups and downs, but maybe now
that missing something is there. One
Junior, tjwo Sophomores, and one
Freshman have helped the Buc cause
(besides Smith. Senior Don Smith,
Junior Charlie Lewis. Sophomores
Cotton Clayton and Lacy West, as
well as Freshman Bill Otte will com-
pose the ECC starting lineup.
East Carolina and Elon went on a
scoring barrage here Friday night,
and the Bucs managed to come out on
top by an overwhelming 105-86 mar-
gin. A sound Lacy West, with the aid
of Cotton Clayton, Charley Lewis,
and Don Smith proved fatal for the
Christian five. West, who has been
having trouble reaching the double
figure column in this season's scoring
average netted 28 tallies in a tremen-
dous exhibition of shooting. The tal-
ented Sophomore forward was deadly
.i;h his outside shooting.
Bucs Take Second Place
The pace set by the two teams dur-
ing the first half of action saw 112
oointa produced. ECC was ahead 60-
52 a'ter the initial half had extermi-
nted. West and Clayton paced the
Bi"s to an early 22 point lead: the
moca threatened to turn the battle
or econd place in the North State
League standings into a complete
o't. However, the visitors were hot
themselves during the latter portion
of the tremendous offensive show

Te home lead was narrowed to

With three players netting over 20
points each, ECC defeated WCC 97-
82 in Memorial Gymnasium Friday
night. Cotton Clayton, Don Smith
and Charles Lewis, scored 22, 21, and
20 points, respectively, for the win-
ners. The fast-breaking East Caro-
lina cage quint rolled to an impres-
sive first half advantage, and then
settled down to toy with Western Car-
olina. The Bucs held a 51-39 margin
t half time, and the Pirates never
were seriously threatened during the
final half of action.
WCC stayed in a man for man de-
fense, which backfired as Charlie
Lewis and Cotton Clayton broke the
visiting defense into small pieces
with their extreme quickness. Bill
Otte and Don Smith controlled the
visiting backboards, and Lacy West
contributed 18 points as this affort
proved fatal to the visitors.
Coach Jim Gudger was not all
pleased with the visitor's play. While
he felt that the Greenville crew has
the better ball club, he did not think
that there was much difference as
te score indicated. "My first five are
s good as any in the league the
WCC mentor said. "That was the sec-
ond worst game that we have played
this season The visiting coach went
on to vsay that his team percentage
shooting was only 38 per cent in com-
parison with about 45 per cent for the
past three outings. Coach Gudger is
hopeful that his young Freshman and
Sophomores will continue to improve.
The WCC coach has close to two
years to have his same five with him,
thus the Catamounts should be title
contenders in years to come.

WRA Plans Sports Day
The Women's Recreation Associa-
tion is planning a Sports Day for the
high schools of Eastern North Caro-
lina. The schools have been invited to
participate in athetic events at ECC.
The intramural basketball games
are drawing to a close with Garrett
leading the dormitory division, and
Sigma Sigma Sigma leading the sor-
orty division.
Beginning Spring quarter, bad min-
ton, tennis and softball will be of-
fered in the intramural program.
Ex Villinova Cagers Lead Wyatt Earp Team
The prime favorite for the intra
mural basketball championship is the
Wyatt Earp quint without a question.
The Earp five consists of a talented
crew led by two former Villinova
varsity members. Richard LeFevre
and Billy Penney have aided the team
in accomplishing a 7-0 record prior
to Tuesday night's contest with the
Country Gentlemen.
Fevre is a 6'1" Sophomore from
n, New Jersey, averaging 18
er game. The rangy forward
im to a 22-0 record in New
lastic circles during his
in high school. LeFevre
Pilhnova's freshman team, I
and he was a reserve on the varsity
last season. He is laying out this sea-
son in order to he eligible for the
varsity at ECC during the 1961-62
campaign.
Penney is averaging 17 points per
contest in intramural activity, and
'his 6'3" Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
product, as his teammate LeFerve is
a former Villinova Freshman starter,
and he was a reserve for the Wild-
cats last season.
Of course, two men cannot possibly
be the whole team. The other starters
Buddy Wyatt, Jim Harris, and Bobby
Bumgardner have held own their po-
sitions in a creditable manner. Wat
Wyatt, an ex-East Carolina Freshman
starter stands 6'4" and has been in-
strumental under the boards, while
averaging in double figures for the
Earps. In the Independent League j
champions, Jimmy Harris has been
hitting consistently from his guard
(position. The Portsmouth Virginia
native is also an ex-ECC Freshman
cage member.
Another excellent rebounder for
this starting five has been Bob Bum-
garder, the star end of the East Caro-
lina football team. His rebound work
has paid high dividends for the Bucs.
Bumgarler at W2T is only a Sopho-
more.
CAPTAIN DON SMITH is seen here
in action in the Elon contest. The
senior forward plays his final con-
ference game against ACC Saturday
night in Wilson.
Notice!
Baseball practice began on
Wenesday, February 15, and
will be held everyday from 2-5
p.m. in Keel's Warehouse. Stu-
dents attending the practice ses-
sions are requested to wear old
clothes, according to Coach James
Mallory.
Smith Praises EC
Players' Efforts
What has been the answer to East
Carolina's surge in the point making
department which won the Buc quint
their last two outings by impressive
nargins? Coach Earl Smith has a
good explanation to the answer of
the .Pirate's showings in their last
two home contests. The EOC mentor
said, "an over-all team effort has
been the answer to our problems
While saying this, the Buc coach
can hack his words, thanks to the play
of is fine quint. "PlayeTs like Cot-
Ion Clayton, Lacy West, and Charlie
Lewis aid the cause a great deal
mentioned Coach Smith. "Of course,
Don Smith and Bill Otte, our other
two starters, have been playing fine
ball, and Benny Bowes has really been
in there
When asked how a team can score
16 points in the first half against
Atlantic Christian one week, and come
back and score 60 against Elon the
next week, the BCC coach replied,
'The boys were not as tense, and were
fitting more accurately We were
not doing anything different out
there, with the exception of working
the ball better, and getting set up
for more shots.
"That Cotton Clayton is a little
A11-American candidate in my book
and always will be claimed Coach
Smith. "He has played the greatest
basketball during his great career in
the past two weeks. Lacy West has I
come along in tremendous fashion,
and big boy, Otte, is not as tense as
he was at the first of the season
This has been a contributing factor
m the play of the big pivot man.
Captain Don Smith is not scoring
as many points as he was, but why
should he continue to shoot when his
team mates can take the load off
his shoulders? The Bucs fast break i
working beautifully, and Charlie
Lew,s is a prime factor in the success
of the ECC offense. "Charlie is
real hustler Coach Smith declared,
nd the Buc fans can see why this
Kinston native as been nothing but
spectacular.
