Cathy, a lovely brunette social studies major, is a junior at EC. She is active in many phases of camp,u.s life. Cathy was sponsored by her sisters, members of Chi Omega social sorority, in the yearbook queen competition. On Monday of last week, she and the other 41 contestants were judged on the basis of facial beauty from por- traits submitted to a student-fa- euk.y committee. On Friday a tea was given in honor of the six finalists in the competition. These finalists were interviewed by five well-known judges with Cathy be- ing selected as the "fairest of the fair" on the basis of beauty, poise, and personality. Judges for the final (phase of competition were Frank Gorshin, of movie and television fame; Val- jean Johns, renown pianist; Mrs. James T. Little, Jr former Miss Kinston; Mrs. N. O. Van Nort- wick who works with the local Miss Greenville pageant; and Louis Collie, East Carolina graduate who works with a national in- surance firm. Questions asked the contestants in individual appearances before the five judges, included "What was your reason for selecting East Carolina as your institution of your own hair for your aprearance before us today? "What are your plans upon graduation from ECC? and "Give us your opinion of the recent Ole Miss incident?" The judges later commented on the high qualities of personality and beauty displayed by all six contestants. Selecting one girl was a difficulty choice, commented the judges. Cathy's sister-finalists in the competition were Sue Little, JuJia A. Payne, Marilyn Miller, Kaye Modlin, and Kathy Wesson. Each will be featured in the 1963 BUC- CANEER, with Cathy being pic- tured in color. As Buccaneer Queen, Cathy made her first appearance during the Playhouse To Hold Try outs For Series Of One-Act Plays Tryouts for a number of one-act .

Since most of the plays are short, the Play- house directors feel that they will attract people who have insuf- ficient time to devote to work in a full-length play. Auditions are open to all stu- dents, faculty, and residents of the college community and Green- ville. Student Union Tops Ticket Sale For County Fair Forty college organisations and dormitories sold 1,721 tickets to the Pitt County Fair in Greenville m October 9-13.

Frank Gorshin, the last performer, may have been displeased with his deception?especially when about a fourth of the audience left in the middle of his act . . . Johnny Nash and Valjean earned a good response . . . Whoever named "Chubby" Silvers "Chub- by" must have been the master understatement . . . Con- gratulations to Tomye Suggs for being chosen Home- coming Queen. The parade seemed to go pretty well We notice that the "Collegiate" had a big entry . . . Congratulations to Theta Chi. Most people seemed to think they deserved first place even before it was announced that they had won it. Spirits seemed to be at a low ebb at the football game. The local gestapo mav have had something to do with that. It seems a shame that they were so con- cerned with controlling the college crowd that they had no time to protect the cheerleaders from being run down by school children. The presence of the police seems to indicate that someone is not willing to accept every- thing that goes with the "big school" title we are trying so hard to earn for ourselves It may be a minor point, but we feel that a more attractive combination of purple and gold could be incorporated into the football uni- forms. Regardless of that, it's good to see the Pirates back in the winning column . . . The band did its usual good job. It seems that the Music Department is al- ways a step ahead of the rest of the school in excellence. The situation after the game emphasized the need for more and better restaurants in Greenville. Maybe one day the town will catch up with the College. That day is a long way off. Saturday night was filled with parties. As usual, this was the high spot of the weekend . . . One o'clock permission came in handy. The restaurants were filled with haggard looking people Sunday and the population of Greenville decreased again as imported dates and guests departed A melancholy look and "See you Thanksgiving The rest of the day was a total loss as we tried to face the fact that Monday was inevitable.

Not with a bang, but with a whimper. ?IT. S. Elk Thus ended Homecoming weekend at EC for 1962. We feel that we should blame somebody concerning the apparent disappointment of many students for being unable to attend the enter- tainment series Friday night because of limited space. We have no complaints against the SGA since it only planned the program and did not enact the rule which stated that Wright Auditorium would have a ca; aciry of two thousand students. That rule came from the local fire department whose primary concern was, without doubt, the safety of everyone. With such a purport, we would feel like a heel blaming the fire department. Still, something seems to be wrong when more 1ian half of the student body was unable to attend the program which they themselves more than half paid for. iCould we say that the Adminis- tration is to blame? Or President Jenkins? Perhaps the problem would be less serious if we could rightly blame one of these, but we know we cannot. The problem would not be as intense and complicated as it is if we could say that the State Legislature is at fault, or even the governor. But we have to admit -plainly that last year's legislature did all that it could for EC. Our governor, too. is otenly on our side all the way. So where does the blame lie? When we think about this ques- tion we are forced to come to an evitable answer?an answer that is deep-rooted, but one which points almost directly to the people of this state who defeated the badly-needed bond referendum last year. It's something to think about, isn't it? Mr. Henderson ftftj jj do not seem bo the standard journal cf devoting a- ? opinions of th and students A MtawpajMi cl
