John by Bach. The program is scheduled for 8:15 p.m. in Wright. The performance of the cele- ? ? rated Bach work is sponsored by i corded his RCA Victor ?e SGA. Thi will be the first time in history this music will have been uken on tour. For the ?ccasion, Mr. Shaw has aug- ments! his chorus and orches- tra i approximately sixty performers, forces that ap- proximate the size of the en- ?mbl used in Bach's own day. .

Dr. Leo W. Jenkins said last week that he was advised by the Athletic Committee to withdraw LOC from the Oarolinas Confer- ence, because of the new scholar- ship limitations of the conference. However, the EC President stated, "A definite decision as to whether or not EC will remain in the conference will not be made final until the meeting of the con- ference president on January 22 The scholarship limitations will allow only 10 basketball and 22 football athletic scholarships start- ing this fall. At the present time, EC operates under 15 basketball iarnl 38 football scholarships. It would be impossible for EC to ex- pand their athletic program be- cause of this new rule by the Caro- linas Conference. Dr. Jenkins said, "It is not feas- ible for us to go in two directions at the same time and we therefore prefer to place our athletic pro- gram in a position where it should be for a college of this size New Football Coach Favors Action East Carolina has been increas- ing- in its enrollment every year; a total of 6000 students are ex- pected to be enrolled next year. The new football stadium and an outstanding football coach will be featured in next year's program. EC's new coach, Clarence Stasa- vich, former head mentor of the Lenoir Rhyne's conference cham- pions for the past seven seasons, and 1960 national champion coach, favors the committee's decision on The opera, "Martha that was postponed because of snow will be presented in Mc- Ginnis Auditorium, Thurs- day at 8:00 p.m. The produc- tion is sponsored by the Greenville Music Club. their vital proposal. "I think they acted wisely, but I will go along with Faculty Athletic Committee and Director of Athletics, Dr. N. M. Jorgenson on their final de- cision iStasavich went on to say, "EC needs to work on their goal for the Southern Conference member- ship. However, we wall not be that good next fall, and we are hoping for a .500 season because of the 'rebuilding that we must do at East Carolina "We are organizing a new pro- gram, but we do know which di- rection that we are going toward, despite the work that we have toward the new program Stasa- vich feels that EC will not meet the objectives at the present time and also feels that it could take four to five years for a strong athletic program. Coach Smith's Comments Head cage mentor, Earl Smith stated that he would attempt to schedule all the schools in the Southern Conference if EC leaves Jenkins Announces Renewal Of College Acreage Option 0 EC has recently renewed the option on 73 acres of land, owned by Miss Louise Tucker and her brother, LJoyd Tuck- er of Greenville. This land was included in the recent bond issue which was defeated and is very much needed to expand the men's campus and athletic fields to south and west of the campus. ???$ "We are very grateful to the Selection Team Visits Campus The U.

This in- cludes the old Tucker home place. The larger part of the land lies on the west side of Highway 43 and adjoins the Greenville Boulevard. Dr. Jenkins stated that the en- rollment of the College has doubled in the past seven years. The rate of growth is increasing each year, he said, and, in order to be assured of room for future expansion, the college should acquire the addition- al land while available. the Carolinas Conference. Also, Smith let it be known that EC would nave to have Freshman ibasketball in the college's pro- gram. EC has played .Richmond, The Citadel, and William-Mary in SC competition this season and has one Southern Conference school remaining on their schedule. The Bucs travel to Blacksiburg, Virginia to battle the Virginia Tech Gobblers later this season. Dean Jim Mallory, coach of the national champion baseball Pi- rates, stated that his team will not be effected if East Carolina withdraws. "We have been fortu- nate in scheduling northern teams and I feel sure that we will be a hie to schedule Southern Confer- ence teams as baseball schedules are made up year-to-year and not in advance. In the baseball sched- ule released in today's East Caro- linian, the Buc nine plays such outside foes as Yale, Michigan State, Ithica College, Delaware, Wake Forest, UNC, and Florida State.

Tar Heel Youths Rate Low N Pitt County Takes Lead In Educational Strides While Pitt Countians should take pride in the words of recognition in education made last Thursday by Dr. Charles Carroll, state superintendent of public instruction, they should necessarily accept the compliment as a challenge for even bigger achievements in the future. Carroll told a group attending a City Council-P.T.A- sponsored program, "You people in Pitt County deserve a ?special word for your achievements in education College Youth? List Best Sellers Students Carry M ixe d Book 6 "The (profundity of reading by recent college graduates is rough- ly comparable to what might be expected of a good healthy orangu- tan This is in Rev. Joseph L. Leiunon's description of college student reading habits. However, the good father was evidently ex- aggerating for sihock effect. But, what are the reading habits of American college sthdents to- day. There are many opinions, al- though no one actually knows. Col- lege librarians, bookstore mana- gers, and teachers believe that on the whole, students do read more than they used to. They came to this conclusion because of the in- creased number of paperback books that are being purchased by col- lege students. Best Sellers Bestselli ng titles at college bookstores include Bierce, Conrad, By KAYE BURGESS Fitzgerald. Freud, Hemingway, Undents Huizintga, George Kennan, Arthur Koestler, Jack Londkm, Michener.

Bill Garland. editor of the campus newspaper, '???v. Dos Passos, Dostoevski, Faulkner, expressed the opinion that most Crowded Soda Shop Prodding Brings Results By JEAN PEACE We can't begin to feel too proud, however, when re- ports of Tar Heel students as compared to students nation- wide reach us. Yet, one county alone cannot change a dis- - couraging- report made to the Governor's Commission on Education beyond the High School. This is a matter of con- - cern to all counties in North Carolina . . . from the coast, the piedmont, to the mountains. It is of concern to us at at East Carolina who plan to be leaders in education. The report indicated that North Carolina students do not meet the norms in college preparedness. They are not as 'ready' to do college work as other high school students across 'the nation. The report read that Tar Heel high school students "fall below national averages in the scores they made on achievement, educational development and scho- lastic aptitude tests This is not surprising when one considers that "North Carolinians also rank belpw national averages in per capita income, dollars spent per pupil for education, and in cer- tain other indices of economic and cultural resources The report further showed that on the National Merit Examination three-quarters of the state's students scored below 99, while on a national level only half the students made less than 99 out of a top score of 150. On the College Board Scholastic Aptitude Test, one- quanter of N. C. students made better than 500 in the verbal aptitude section, while 43 per cent of all students nation- wide scored above the 500 mark on the possible 800 score tesit. Tar Heel girls scored a little higher than boys in meet-1 ing national averages. North Carolina boys had 76 per cent making less than 550, while 89 per cent of the girls made less than 550 on the mathematics section. Throughout the nation, comparable figures were 58 per cent for the boys and 79 per cent for the girls. According to the report Tar Heel boys and girls are not even prepared to take the tests. Courses offered in high schools across the state vary widely in mathematics, al- though four years of English is required of every student. This variance in courses offered effects ttest scores; needless to say, those schools which offer a minimum of mathematics have not adequately prepared the student for college work and pose the largest factor in the distressingly low scores by our home state students. In only seven years campus pop- ulation has doubled. With an in- crease of this size various cam- pus activities should double if not triple. We have witnessed a greater in- terest and participation in athlet- ics, and scholarship. Otherwise, all we have to show for a doubled enrollment is a crowded soda shop and crowded dormitories. Cultural interest has sadly lagged behind . . . until recently. Some interest has been shown in the Sperry-Hutchinson debates and in the presentation of foreign films, but E.C will have the oppor- tunity to move up several notches in cultural development when Dr. Withey presents the Burmese play. "The Wages of Sin His Excellency U On Sein, Bur- mese Ambassador to the U. S. has accepted EC's invitation to visit the campus and attend fche per- formance on February 24. Dr. Withey and persons responsible for the presentaitioin 'should be commended. Notice has been taken for our attempts at cultural advanceaneiut. In Sunday's "News and Observer" an article appeared concerning- the forthcoming play and visit of the Burmese Ambassador. Perhaps the idea of having Carl Sandburg as a resident poet will not be too "far-fetched" if proujM on campus keep prodding for stu- dent interest in the arts. The Gar- rett poetry reading, foreign film plays, and productions jsuch as Martha" are slowly bringing EC to a higher level of cultural de- velopment. The only remaining problem lies in student interest. arnorg the This populai I , acceunu d , ler w ? man" i irii . present - An thored b Miller i I rop . ? , eomt M ?ng- Aj college n readir form the Pot Tl ?

AST CAROLINIAN Western Carolina Play H Yesterday's meeting of the college presidents was sup- posed to have one outstanding issue . . . East Carolina s withdrawal from the Carolinas Conference because of limited scholarships. It would have been a mistake for EC to stay in the con- ference because of the minimizing of athletic scholarships. There is only one direction for the Pirates to go in the eyes of Dr. Leo W. Jenkins, and that is forward in the world of athletics. The proposed scholarship limitations by the Caro- linas Conference states that the teams in the conference can ha?ve only 10 basketball and 22 football scholarships. EC could not'possible go "Big Time" with this new rule in effect. The Pirates at the present time operate with 15 basketball and 38 football scholarships. Plans for the future are to increase production and try to bring in the "best" of athletes. Naturally, what all this leads-up to is the Bug's mem- bership proposal in the Southern Conference. Steps such as: 1. construction on a new football stadium, 2. Clarence Stasa- vich as head football coach- and 3. membership in the NCAA have already been clearly taken. A defect such as the de- creasing of scholarships would be a vital blow in the athletic program. Actually, East Carolina had no alternative but to withdraw from the conference, if we wished to meet our goal as a member of the Southern Conference. Wkc&b A SC Member Means Southern Conference membership means competition that will be the strongest in the college's history. There are no weak sisters in the conference, and the EC athletic ad- ministration plans to make the Pir'aites no exception. There- fore, this means better athletes coming to East Carolina than ever before. SC competition would be against West Virginia's Mountaineers from Charleston, West Virginia, George Wash- ington's Colonials from Washington, D. C, Virginia Tech's Gobblers frow Blacksburg, Virginia, William-Mary's In- dians from Williamsburg, Virginia, Virginia Military Insti- tute's Keydetes from Lexington, Virginia, Davidson's Wild- cats from Davidson, North Carolina, Furman's Paladins from Greenville, South Carolina, and The Citadel Bulldogs from Charleston, South Carolina. Those who have just a small knowledge of these schools realize that we would have our hands full in athletic com- petition. The date that East Carolina will be a member would be in all probability September of 1963. A 15,000 plus seated football stadium should be ready next fall and possibly ad- ditional seats could be made available the next fall. Plans call for a new field house, although it can be stated that the Bond Issue downfall hindered the chances for immediate plans for such an addition to the "new" athletic program. Sport Names In The Netvs EC swimming sensation, BOB KINGERY, from -Nor- folk, Virginia lost his first diving event of the year last Thursday night in Chapel Hill, against Carolina's outstand- ing swimming team. UNC easily defeated the PiraJtes, sweep- ing all first place events including Kingery's specialty in div- ing. Other notes of interest in the Pirate sport world: LACY WEST, veteran Pirate forward has been playing some out- standing basketball for the Pirates. Lacy, scored 13 points and was credited with two crucial steals in the win over WCC at Western Carolina. BILL OTTE hit his personal high in the point produc- tion for a single contest, with his 27 against WCC. The 67" center who seems to play his best in the clutch, won the game with his basket in the final two seconds. WALLY COCKRELL, last year's star centerfielder for the Pirates will report to Arizona for his Spring Training. Wally led the Class D Bristol, Virginia team in hitting last season with a .330 mark. The former Pirate hitting star re- ports to the training camp of Eugene, Oregon LARRY CRAYTON, a St. Louis Cardinal product, re- ports to Florida to train with Tulsa, Oklahoma, class AA team. Crayton was voted the outstanding player in the Na- tional tournament last season. Bugs Play Catamounts Without Bowes EC returns to action Friday night against a good Western Caro- lina team in the Pirate Gymnasium. It is quite likely, that tine Bucs wil have to play without he ser- vices of veteran CoGaptain Ben Bowes from Burlington. The 6'5" forward has been out with a twisted ankle, hurt in a practice session, since last week. The Pirates will return to action after a twelve day layoff. The Bucs defeated the W?C five in their last outing by a 62-60 mar- gin. Coach Earl Smith wil prob- ably istart Lacty West, Charlie Lewis Bill Brogden, Bill Otte, and Richard Wiliams against the Westerners. Levvis is leading the team in scoring as he is averaging over 16 points per contest. Otte and West also are hitting in double rigures for the Pirates. With the absence of Bowes, Coach will probably play his two freshmen, Bill Brogden and Rich- ard Williams. Both have hit for over twenty points in a single contest. Veteran guard Danny Bow- en will be ready for plenty of action Friday night. The contest will start at 8:00 p.m. 1962 Baseball Buc star Hi lie Otte ready for action.
