Among the great names in modern
music is William "Count Basie who
brings his famous orchestra to the
cum pus tonight in ,a two hour con-
cert that begins at 8 p. m. in Wright
Auditorium.
Count Basie, who has established
himself as a modern music immortal
dining his 25 years as a band-
It ader, became a bandleader follow-
ing the untimely death in Kansas City
of Benny Moten in 1936. Rather than
disband, 'members of Moten's group,
in which Basie was the star pi-
anist, elected the Count their leader
and the band carried on as "Count
Basic's Orchestra
Benny Goodman "discovered" Basie
at the Reno Club in Kansas City,
promptly put him under the wing of
bis own booker, Willard H. Alexan-
der, and Music Corporation Of Amer-
ica. The rest is musical history. Over-
night, Count Basie became America's
jazz sensation.
New York Debut
Count Basie debuted at New York
City's Roseland Ballroom on Broad-
way and later at the old Famous Door
on 42nd Street. The Count astounded
the music "world with a new kind of
music"jump rhythm" and what the
critics hailed as the greatest band of
all.
In 1939, 'Count Basie performed at
New York's hallowed Carnegie Hall.
His concert started the trend of so-
called jazz concerts. Basie's "One
O'Clock Jump" swept the country and
swept Basie into the musical lime-
light. The general public joined the
jazz purists and the critics in hailing
the Basie Band.
Into leading dance spots through-
out the country went the Basie organ-
ization, leaving a trail of broiken at-
tendance and box office records in
its wrake. Within a short while, the
Count ranked high among the nation's
top ten bands, a rating be never has
lost, thanks to a steady succession of
s-upberb recordings and bandstand per-
formances.
Wins Top Honors
Basie won the Metronome Poll on
piano, in 1942 and 1943. In 1956,
Basie's Band won Down Beat Inter-
national Critics' Poll for the fourth
consecutive year. Also in 1956, they
' won bhe Readers' Poll of France's
Jhzz Hot Magazine and both the
"Greatest Ever" and "New Star" ca-
tegories in the Musician's Poll of Leo-
nard Feather's 1956 Encyclopedia
Basie . . . Jazz Great
Yearbook of Jazz.
Basie, the most explosive force in
Jazz, is perhaps one of the most
nonored, and deservedly so, musicians
of our time. He has gained a global
reputation for bis undying allegiance
to the beat, his loyalty to the blues
as a basic form, and his ability to pro-
duce, year after year, a series of re-
cords of unflagginigly high caliber.

queen.
Miss Wallace was sponsored by

sponsors were: Sigma Phi Eipsilon,
Miss Rice; Jones Dormitory, Miss
Crandell, and Slay Dormitory, Miss
Rush.
After the dance Tommy Mallison,
co-oliairman of the Entertainment
Committee, mentioned that he had
heard various comments that there
probably would have been more peo-
ple at the dance if Bermuda shorts
bad been allowed. Mallison went on
to observe that in late July plans
have been approved by Dean White
tor a Combo-Bermuda dance on the
parking lot by the Rawl Building.
SQA President Otis St wither stated,
"The 'big sound' of the Billy May
Band fronted by Frankie Lester was
a contributing factor to the success
of the 1961 Summer School Dance. I
would like to express by appreciation
to Merle Summers for handling the
Queen's Court and to Tommy Malli-
son for the booking of the band. I
think the students enjoyed it very
much

Famous pianist, humorist, satirist, Marshall Izen, entertains with one-man
performance.
Comic Satirist; Marshall Izen,
Coining To Campus Next Week
Marshall Izen, a first-rate (pianist,
who satirizes concert singers and
opera, will accompany himself on the
piano here Tuesday night at 8:15
p. m. in McGinnis Auditorium.
A jovial impresario of the musical
scene, Izen reduces opera as we know
:t to a cheerful shambles; his satiric
witty way at tihe piano is imagina-
tive and provocative. His work is
unique. Using the top of the piano as
a stage for minature settings, he
manipulates puppet performers with
his right hand and accompanies on
the keyboard with this left hand and
sings all the voices!
This gifted and' original performer
received a Bachelor's degree in music
from DePaul University in Chicago.
He studied at the Judliard School of
Music, New York City, in preparation
for a concert career. Through a ser-
ies of ?.dd adventures, his unique mu-
sic rl and satric talents first received
recognition in several Ne wYork sup-
per clubs. His many appearances on
television bave included the Ed Sulli-
van and Steve Allen shows.
Mr. Izen's thorough musical back-
ground adds dimension and substance
to his humor as well as refinement
and taste to bis serious offerings. He
is now delighting discriminating aud-
iences everywhere.
,A very entertaining piano burlesque.
It is as solid on the 'keyboard as it is

laughs.
Hickfang Tours
With Grand Opera
Theater This Fall
Paul Hickfang, faculty member of
the Department of Music at East
Carolina College, will join Boris Gold-
ovsky's Grand Opera Theater October
9 for a nine-week tour of major cities
in the United States. He will be on
leave-of-absence from the college
during the tour.
As a member of the opera company,
he will sing the roles of Basilio and
Dr. Bartolo in Rossini's The Barber
.of Seville.
Mr. Hickfang has been heard in
Greenville over the past seven years
in concerts, operas, and the yearly
presentation of The Messiah by the
college music department.
He appeared as guest soloist with
the Oklahoma City Symphony in Oc-
tober and in seven concerts with the
North Carolina Symphony during the
1959 season. He has also appeared in
opera and oratorio with the Hono-
lulu Symphony and the Milwaukee
Opera Festival.
He left for Tanglewood on July 12
to begin a two-week rehearsal sched-
ule with Goldovsky and his staff.
Mr. Hickfang is a graduate of the
Universities of Texas and Michigan.
As a Fulbright Scholar in 1955-57, he
studied in Munich at the State Acad-
emy of Music.
The Goldovsky Grand Opera Thea-
ter is the touring name of the New
England Opera Theater, Inc. Mr.
Goldovsky, a former conductor at the
Metropolitan Opera, has been heard
for years on the Metropolitan broad-
casts on Saturday afternoon narra-
ting the opera quiz programs between
the acts of the opera. He teaches at
the New England' Coniservatory in
Boston, the Berkshire Music Festi-
val at Tanglewood, Mass and the

dents who are members of tile cast of

the day and special rates on tickets
for the August 5 performance may
be obtained from the Alumni Office.
Notice
Due to a deluge of bad cheeks writ-
ten prior to the end of each academic
session, students will be fined. Stu-
dents write bad checks under the as-
sumption that since it is near the end
of school tihat they wont be caught.
But action has been taken against
these offenders.
Dr. James H. Tucker, Dean of Stu-
dent Affairs, announced that students
writing bad checks will be fined two
dollars for each check written.

EAST
Equals
Summer School
Procrastination Plus Exams
Exam time at EC came and went in proverbially the same
manner as usualwhy not put off until tomorrow or at least the
last minute what we should have been concerned with every day.
Many students went about their nonchalant existence with
scarcely a serious thought toward final exams. Some went to the
free movie, others went to the performance of the opera theater,
and for those who weren't interested in the campus functions
there was Dora's and the community's other gathering spots.
However, there were some students who, out of "duty re-
mained in their rooms fooling the time away. These duty-minded
students played around, played cards, or congregated m rooms
for TV sessions or just plain "bull sessions"exams were pust
another inconvenience in their daily existence.
These light-hearted students merely passed the time away
in some frivolous manner. Even though they were not interested
in studying for finals, they failed to realize that there are a few
earnest students who were taking exams seriouslythey had to
and needed to study.
It is no wonder then, that each quarter more and more
students go down in quality points, and then have to come to
summer school to make up their academic deficiencies. If these
unconcerned ones would take exams a little more seriously rather
than having to cram in states of near panic, there would be little
reason to have to come back to summer school. They could be work-
ing, vacationing or just taking it easy from the grind of regular
school when summer rolls around.
It seems that there should be some feasible solution to al-
leviate this prevailing air that inevitably hovers over exam time.
Perhaps these "intervening variables" could be lessened
with a little co-operation and consideration. Those who do not
plan to study could at least respect the rights of those who, out of
necessity and desire,have to study for exams.
Furthermore, campus entertainment could be planned for
an evening just after the exams, but certainly not before the
night of exams. Just having to bring one's self to try and study
is hard enough without having to face the temptation of leaving
the books and notes to run over to the CU for an hour or two,
or to the free movies or out to Dora's.
Perhaps, for those who have to and who want to study,
there should be closed study hours in the dorms several nights
prior to exam time. Or at least ihere could be several nights of
"quiet" studv hours observed in the dorms, and then those stu-
dents who absolutely refuse to or just do not care to study can go
on with their nonlhalantness and permit the few who care to study
an atmosphere conducive to study.
Exam time at EC comes and goes and for those students
who take exams lightlythey also come and go.

Reader Opinionates About Opinions
ABuc'Symbols Antiquated
Buc the dog passed away with something less than the
nfare accorded a West Point mule or a Navy goat. The report
say he died of piuemonia; perhaps it is better to say he died of
a broken heart.
For Buc was conceived of for the purpose of building school
spirit at games, school affairs, etc.for providing a rallying
point for the student body in general. However, as time will tell,
his existence amounted to something less than that.
Bus was brought here in an attempt to build spirit and
start a tradition in an environment where, up to now, there has
been but little room for traditionwhere, in fact, the only real
tradition has been steel griders and piles of concrete, built and
expanded with little or no time for the traditional niceties of col-
lege life such as mascots, pep rallies, college songs, and general
flag waving for the Alma Mater.
Thus it is little wonder that Buc felt somewhat out of
place. The four-footed symbol of "speed and courage" was kept
in a pen and was paraded before the students at game timein
the interest of college tradition. He never quite completely in-
spired the beer-fogged gentry of our school to rise up "en masse"
and die for "Ole ECC
Nor is there really any reason for Buc to have succeeded
to have found complete fulfillment. Times have changed. The West
Point mule and the Navy goat, and even the Columbia lion may
still inspire mass hysteria on Saturdays; but the truth is, in the
modern mass production education factory, the rah-rah "Joe Col-
lege" spirit of past eras has gone with the horse and buggy. No-
where are lusty voices raised in old time college fight songs (even
the existence of an "Alma Mater" at our school is debatibleask
anyone to sing it by heart, if you don't believe me. Freshman
beanies are absurd now and banners, pep rallieseven mass cheer-
ing sectionsall seem to be consppicious in their absence.
Why is this so? Perhaps iit is due to the times.
College is no longer a hallowed ground, but is a means to
getting a better job. College boys are no longer boys, they are
men, many of themreturning (veterans who may not see fit to
join in college traditions. More and more of them are married
and more concerned with family than school lifeand rightly so.
In general, wars, increased tensions, pressure to get out
and get a job, plus the high mobility of our student population
and the intense overcrowding of the campus all have served to
break up the old tradition-bound atmosphere and to leave tradi-
tional symbols such as Buc with somewhat less of an enthusiastic
following than expected. It is no one's fault, it is neither good nor
badit is simply the times we live in. Buc's role as symbol of col-
lege spirit was a casualty of the times.
Soon, we will probably have a new mascot Perhaps, in
time, traditions of a sort may be built up around him. But whether
future "Buc's" will be Great Danes, cats, or even rabbits, one
may be certain that his role in college life will be quite different
from that of past eras when "Joe College" was king and tra-
dition was the thing. LB

BUiSINESS MANAGER
To the Editor:
There seems to be quite a few prob-
lems existing on our beloved campus
nowadays. Don't talke me wrong, I
do not profess to be one of the hy-
pocrites on our camjpus, but since
ihis is supposed to.be a democratic
courotory, I would like to voice some
of ray opinions.
The free movies are for students
and faculty, alone, yet it seems that
our free movies are not only free to
the students lamd faculty, but also to
various OreeaiviMe people, especially
the kids. Couldn't there be some sys-
tem of checking ID cards at the door?
It seems hardily fair the the people
who support this activity should have
to stand u$p while those -who are being
a little parasitic occupy the seats. May
I ask, is this fair to the students and
faculty ?
The free movies are not only the
activity that is sponged" upon by
various (people of Greenville. It is
true that these people of Greenville
give much, to the college, but how
many of us ihave to pay extreme prices
to (the GreenviUe merchants just be-
cause we are college students?
Shouldn't there be some limitation as
to participation of the people of
Greenville in our campus activities?
In my recent reading of the East
Carolinian it was stated that the fu-
ture entertainment series would be
wide open to the public FREE OP
CHARGE Are these persons charged
a student activity fee? It is a little
depressing to the entertaineers to see
a small crowd displayed before them,
but still it is only fair to the students
that these people be treated equally.
The college itself brings quite an
amount of money to Greenville as
of you, have you ever been to a li-
brary, no matter what size, and found
it easy to obtain books? It is diffi-
cult no matter where you are. I am
only impressed with the vast major-
ity of people that are using the school
facility.
To those of my fellow students who
read Mr. Btizzard's article might I
say this, read it again! It seems from
the letters to the editor that almost
everyone read it, and missed the point.
Haven't you ever heard of satire ?
My hat goes off to my fellow stu-
dents who have taken the right to
voice their opinion to the student body,
and may I express my invitation to
the entire student body to also voice
ftheir opinions. W hear constant
gripes from students, yet they are
toki only to a minority. Tell the world
about your opinions for it is the only
way that the world will wake up and
realize that they are being controlled
by some confident, unconquerable few.
Yours truly,

College Union-Ant-Lion Biirrovl
By J. ALFRED WILLIS
An interesting comment was
made the other day. It was in
all honestly, that "the students
here at East Carolina College
were too sophisticated to be tak-
en in by Fulton Lewis, III and
his trick film"Operation Abo-
lition " Lewis was rather a
charlatan, but are we 'sophisti-
cated'Here at this "Oxf ord-on-
the Tar" we congregate at the
Oollege Union to socialize (it is
impossible to drink pespi and
not be sociable). Our conversa-
we all know, yet these money mongers j tion is built around profanity,
are to he let in. a student sponsored girls, dinking, and profane
activity completely free of charge.
This is a new practice, isn't itLet's
hope that it is one that won't be con-
tinued.
I'm afraid that I will have to agree
with Mr. Willis concerning the com-
munication of the SGA with stu-
dents. The time for elections and
filing for candidacy is very short, but
still, student participation would be
quite a bit higher if there was some
mearss of inf arming the whole campus
of the upcoming events of the SGA.
Ae far as a solution to the problem is
concerned, I don't 'have one, bait sure-
ly there is some cure for this sort of
problem. I don't think Chat other col-
leges have such a problem, so why
should we?
I am afraid .that I am not too well
versed on the specific problems in
the library problem, since I have had
limited use of it since I have been
enrolled at EC. It is true that when
I have viaited it, that I was unable

This week, the Campus Canvas deals with an article which
ared in last week's East Carolinian dealing with the parking

Mr. Melvin V. Buck, Housing Officer"The real prob-
lem is where could you put parking space that would
be acceptable to the students? Everybody wants to park
around Austin, Flanagan, and behind the Soda Shop. This
is where the most parking tickets are given on our cam-
pus. No, we aren't going to have a registration fee (NC

As a highlight of its summer pro-
gram of activities, the Foreign Lan-
guages Department entertained last
week in the Graham building 35 ex-
change students who were making a
three-day tour of Pitt County.
The guests, representing 20 foreign
countries, visited the electronic lan-
guage laboratory and spent their time
listening to taped recordings in Span-
ish, French, and German and record-
ing their own voices. All high school
students who have studied in the
New York City area for the past
year, they expressed much interest
in the audio-lingual approach to learn-
ing languages made possible by East
Carolina's well-equipped laboratory.
Professor James L. Fleming, direc-
tor of the college foreign languages
department, addressing the visitors
briefly, told them some of the dif-
ficulties of teaching a foreign lan-
guage in the United States and ex-
plained the use and the benefits of
the audio-lingual approach to instruc-
tion.
Teachers in the foreign languages
department at the college, East Caro-
lina students from foreign countries,
and students in the foreign languages
department were present to greet the

English fluently. Greetings and con
versation in the several languages
characterized the occasion.
The visitors also visited the Col-
lege Union, the Joyner Library, and
the closed-circuit television studios
teria. Dr. James W. Butler of the col-
lege staff acted as host and guide for
the college on a tour of the campus.
The students are touring several

THURSDAY, JULVi,
HolUday Wins CU Table
Tennis Championship
Would it not be great if there could be some set-up where
EC sports fans, who afe unable to attend Pirate athletic con-
tests, could hear ithem over the air. During the football season
the home and away games were broadcast. But what about the
other sports, especially basketball and baseball? All of the Pi-
rate basketball games should be on the air when the team is on
the road.
Of course, it would have been fine if all the tournament
baseball games could have been brought back to Greenville through
radio. Naturally, this runs into a great deal of money. But cer-
tainly the interest that it would create among the student body
would be well worth the effort.
The local radio stations should look into this matter very
closely. The student body of East Carolina and the surrounding
community do a good job in supporting the Pirates. The only bad
point concerning this situation is that there are very few who
can make it to the road contests. For that matter, there are many
who have not been able to attend many of the home contests for
one reason or another.
Naturally the school and the community are highly inter-
ested in the college athletic affairs. It seems that the only way
some people receive the news is through writeups in i the town standing table tennis player defeated

newspaper the following day. However, it is impossible to have
a complete coverage of the detail events happening at athletic
contests. Thus, for the interested, radio is the only answer.
A move to broadcast the major athletic contests would
benefit not only the community but the morale of the Pirates as
well. Now thatthe college is in the NCAA and will be scheduling
larger schools, greater interest in Pirate athletics than ever be-
fore will be created in this area. It would be only fair to everyone
concerned to try and broadcast all Pirate athletic contests.
Football Preview
In less than two months, the EC gridders will buckle down
to heavy preseason workouts in College Stadium. The Bucs will
face one of the toughest schedules in EC history now that we are
an NCAA school. The 1961 football season presents a greater
challenge than ever before.
Field general Dan Rouse will be back in the fold at his
quarterback position. Rouse was instrumental in the latter part
of the 1960. His brilliant faking and passing engineered the up-
set in the Richmond encounter. Fullback Nick Hilgart, the star
in the purple-gold encounter, should be running strong in the
backfield with considerable competition from hard-hitting Billy
Strickland. Both shared the fullback duties last fall. Strickland
should be better than ever if his shoulder injury is under control
by the start of the season. The rising junior weighs in at 195
pounds and it should be difficult for the opposition to bring him
to the turf.
The Two M's Of The Yankees
Look for Roger Maris and Mickey Mantle (to both challenge
Babe Ruth's 60 home runs hit back in '27. As of July 6, the Yankee
sluggers had slapped 62 homeruns between them. Maris had con-
nected for 32, and Mantle was right behind his teammate with 30.
Maris is 17 games ahead of the Babe's production. Incidentally,
Maris was only hitting around .270 as of last week, but his home
run production has been incredible.
On the other hand, Mantle is batting .300 and is a switch-
hitting slugger with probably more power than any other player
in organized baseball. The centerfielder's great handicap seems
to be his legs that have given him considerable trouble since his
early playing days with New York. Mantle, even though he isn't
the ballhawk that centerfielder Jim Piersall is, is still one of the
fastest men in the game.
Coaching In Va.
Former East Carolina football and
basketball player Mac Eure is at the
present tme workintg on his Masters
Degree. Mac is a 1954 graduate of
EOC.
During the regular school year,
Mac coaches and teaches at Crad-
ock High School in Portsmouth, Vir-
ginia. At Gradck, which is a Group
1 school in Virginia, the former EC
athlete serves as ihead basketball
coach and as assistant coach n foot-
ball and baseball.
During the Second World War, the
Virginia coach served two years in
the Marine Corp. After receiving his
discharge from service, Mac entered
East lOarolina in 1947. Ai broken leg
in an intramural softibail game kept
the Gatesviile native out of school
for a certain length of time, and it
was not until 1954 that he could
obtain his BS degree.
Whale coaching at Cradock High
School last year, his team almost
won the tough Eastern District cage
championship in the Tide-water area
of Virginia. Tied for first place
until the final game of the season,
Cradock was beaten out for the first
place position.
However, the season resulted in
the finest basketball season since the
.school jointed the Group 1 ranks 12
years ago. Mac claimed that he
picked up valuable experience as
head Junior Varsity coach before
moving up as head coach on the
varsity quint.
man Kilpatrick of Chattanooga, Term.
Hoiliday lost earlier in the day to
Kilpatrick by scores 21-15, 21-4, but
fought his way again to the finals
in the lower double elimination brack-
et to play Kilpatrick again. The EC
player then took both matches from
Kilipatrich to win the tourney (first)
natch: 21-18, 12-21, 21-15; second
P.ateh: 21-15, 17-21, 21-8.)
Holiday's topspin attack, com-
bined with very consistent forehand
and backhand drives, overcame Kil-
patrick and kept the tournament
championship at ECC, even though
four state champions were also try-
irg for the title along with the best
players from three states. Kilpatrick,
formerly a nationally ranked player
and the 1960 N. C. State champoon,
lost no games in the tournament ex-
cept to HolHday.

Cray ton, Clayton Placed On All-American Tea
m
EC's lefthanded pitching sensation
Larry Crayton and hard hitting Law- j
renoe "Cotton" Clayton have been
named to the NiAIA All-American
baseball .team. The national cham-
pion Pirates placed short stop Glenn
Bass on the second team and infielder
Floyed Wicker on the honorable men-
tion list.
Gnayton, who had rewritten prac-
tically every team and league record
in North State circles in his 3 years
of pitching, compiled a phenomenal
10-1 record during the 1961 campaign
His overall collegiate record was an
amazing 26-4 mark. The veteran
southpaw owns the N(AIA tournament
record with 19 strike outs in a single
contest.
Cotton Clayton belted .385 and
smashed 6 home runs in aidiing the
Bucs to win the championship. The
Lambda Chi Wins
Lambda Chi defeated the Hopefuls
last week to claim the first session
Intramural Softball League Cham-
pionship. The fraternity nine was
coached by Nick Hilgert.
The individual tennis championship
was held last week and Wilbur Castelo
lanky rigbtfielder made his initial try
at collegiate baseball an unforgettable
one. The All-American outfielder was
also known for his tactics on the
basketball court while attending EC.
The rangy athlete was an all-confer-
ence, and all-district NAJA guard on
the hardwood1.
Bass, a short atop with lightning
speed, a good pair of hands, and a
powerful throwing arm was probably
more or less noted for his extra-
ordinary ability on the football field.
The 6' 1 200 pounder was signed
recently by the San Ddego dhargers
of the American Professional Foot-
ball League.
Freshman Floyd Wicker was also a
two sport player at EC. The rangr
infielder (played the majority of tk
Buc Nine's contests at the third base
post. A great glove man. Wicker bats
iefthand! with only fair power, but
the 18-year-old infielder hits the ball
well to all fields.
Three of the four EC players honor-
ed by their NlAIA selections are cur-
rently playing professional baseball
Bass, of course, will concentrate pro-
fessionally on football. It has been
disclosed that Crayton, Wicker, and
Clayton received a substantial bonus.
It has been learned that the latter
received probably the most significant
sum of the bonus figures with a con-
tract of around 50,000 dollars.
