Truman, Mur-ow Visit Campus In 1963 January's bulletin issued from the Alumni Office of EC is now being distributed to alumni and friends of the college, (Director of Foundations and Adufmaii Affairs, Janice Hardison has announced. Page one of the bulletin forecasts major events of 1963 in a "Look Forward" column and winds up 1962 here with a "Look Forward" column. This year the bulletin states, Governor Terry Sanford, first North Carolina governor to attend a football game on the campus, will be honor guest at the East Carolina-Wake Forest contest when the new stadium is dedicated Sept. 21; and former President Harry S. Truman will appear as speaker on the campus in May. Other major events of 1963 noted by the bulletin will be the estab- isnment of a college Development Fund by the Alumni Association; premiere performance of Kermit Hunter's play "The Faithful Light- ning commencement address by Director Edward R. Murrow of the U S. Information Agency; com- pletion by novelist Ovid W. Pierce of the faculty of his third novel; nd outdoor performances in the new stadium by both the North Carolina Symphony and the N. C. State Ballet Company. .Aimong last year's major develop- ments listed by the bulletin, were '(?nations by friends of the col- i ge of more than a quarter of n million dollars for a new 16,000 seat stadium; awarding of con- tracts for a new 7-floor dormitory for women; opposition by the Board of Trustees to any proposal to add East Carolina to the Consolidated University; raising the Depart- ments of Music and Art to the status of Schools; addition of Clar- ence Stasavich to the college staff as football coach; and a LTSO Tour to Iceland, Greenland, and La- brador by the college Opera Thea- ter. The bulletin includes also cour- rent news of college events; an illustration of the new women's dormitory, which is now under construction; and "career" notes on alumni. College Choir, Faculty Represent Music School The School of Music will be rep- resented on the program of the Southern Division of the Music Educators National Conference by the College Choir and by several faculty members who will present napers, conduct meetings, take part in workshops, or appear as speak- ers. The convention will take place in Charleston, W. Va March 19-23. The East Carolina College Choir, an ensemble of fifty men and wo- men students, has accepted an in- vitation to present a program of choral music as a special attrac- tion of the meeting. The group will Freshman Year Becomes Obsolete New Haven, Conn. (I.P.) ? Yale University finds that the tradition- al Freshman Year is becoming- ob- solete, according to a report by a special faculty committee of seven professors. The committee urges a revamping of the curriculum and the handling of first-year college students. The report recommends that the Freshman Class be split up and boused with upperclassmen, and not, as has been the case here for more than thirty years, treated as a separate campus. To this end, the administration of the Fresih- man Year should be assimilated into Yale College which would be responsible for all four years of the undergraduate student body, the report recommends. In reaffirming Yale's policy re- quiring' frve courses in the Fresh- man Year, as against a minimum of four required in many other colleges, the report states: "At the same time we believe that a prin- ciple of flexibility should prevail, and flexibility Is not difficult to secure at Yale, where rich resour- ces are provided for undergrad- uates be directed by Gordon Johnson, who will also present a paper to the Re- search Section of the organization. Dean Earl E. Beach, past presi- dent of the Southern Division of the MENC, will address a group of approximately 1,100 secondary school teachers of music and the State Officer's Assembly. He will also act as chairman of a Concert Session and participate in Re- search, Music Supervisory, and Teacher Education sessions. Several compositions by Dr. Martin Mailman, composer in resi- dence, will be performed by the College Choir and by an elemen- tary-school band from Atlanta, Georgia. Mrs. Ruth G. Shaw will give a demonstration at a workshop of 300 elementary-school teachers. Traffic Gomm.

Page 2 E AST CAROLINIAN Friday, February i , PURPOSES Last Tuesday night or early Wednesday morn- ing, someone hanged three effigies from the balcony of Wright. Over the three figures, which were labeled Tommy, Leo and Bill, a sign read: It's Time for a Change. Down with Dictators. The figures were stuffed with old EAST CAROLINIANS and L and M cigarette packs. (Which proves that the perpetrators had a sense of humor; but, it would be appreciated if the next time they would be more considerate?the proximity of the effigies to the EAST CAROLINIAN office coupled with the effigial innards might lead people to suspect our hand in this. Heaven forbid we should ever do such a dastardly thing.) Actually, the entire incident is laughable and as much a part of college life as football and dry lectures. However, it affords an occasion for us to ask two ques- tions: (1) What motivates anonymous acts? (2) What is the value of such random action as this? The answer to the first is frequently obvious. It is simply not politic to do some things we consider very worthwhile and sign our names. Throughout history, men have committed anonymous acts: the Boston Tea Party; pamphlets circulated by revolutionists; or con- tinued editorial and pamphlet attacks on the establish- ment under a pseudonym. These men migtht never have accomplished their purpose had they fought or written openly. The pm-pose here is the important thing. Their actions were purposeful. This leads to the second question. The hangings Tuesday night have little if any purpose. If, as rumor would have us belive, members of the IDC, irate with so-called Mallison-fraternity control of the student gov- ernment, hanged the effigies, the choice of subjects be- comes even more obtuse. Mr. Eyerman has never done anything and to our knowledge has no intentions of do- ing anything. Mr. Mallison has accomplished more for East Carolina students than any SGA president in the four years of our attendance here. He has attempted to equalitate the system of representation so that as many students as are interested can participate in stu- dent government. He has facilitated the amelioration of women's dormitory closing hours on weekends. (Some- thing the rantings and promises of sundry predecessors and critics had not done). He has worked with the ad- ministration and with student leaders to bring about many needed changes in as many areas as possible? all with the best interests of the students in mind. As regards control of the senate by anyone, Mallison has made a statement to this newspaper that he favors democratizing the SGA by changing the constitution to read that any student who has 96 or more hours may run for SGA president. This would oppose any fraterni- ty stand. The hanging of the third figure is utterly ridicu- lous. It would make it seem that President Jenkins is in disfavor with the student body. Nothing could be further from the truth. He is the most popular college president with his students of whom we know, and un- der no circumtsances should the irresponsible and anony- mous actions of some malcontent be interpreted as re- flecting the opinions of the majority.

Y. printers' union and the Atlantic and Gulf Coast long- shoremen have focused the atten- tion of the public that the aggran- dizement of big lubor may be de- feating its own ends (the common good) without parallel revamping of the .present legal system in re- spect to labor. Unionism has grown by leaps and bounds since William H. Syl- vis made the first attempt to form a labor mnion on a national scale in 1866. The power of unionism reached unprecedented heights dur- ing the crash of the thirties and the war years that followed. At this time, unions were taken under the (protective wings and built into the platform of the Democratic ,party. That unionism had, for good or for ill, become a part of the American co-political system was made evident when Dan Tobfn, founder of the Teamsters, was photographed at banquets on the right side of F.D.R. himsedf! The eminent American author, John Dos Passos, paraphrased the sit- uation when lie stated, "Big union- ism did not cease in the forties, quite the contrary. The trend in unionism (for the past two decades has been one of steady dialation. The increment has been so swift that it has given rise to a lag be- tween unionism and the present day legal system. lAs ironical as it may seem, a direct correlation may be seen in the (present day sit- uation and the aggrandizement of big business over the legal sys- tem a half-century ago, from which unionism grew. The lag between these two factors ? unionism and the legal system ? has given rise to so much chaos and is so detri- mental to the American economy that it is no longer & question of should the. present day legislature pertaining to unions be revamp- ed, but rather when and how this revamping will be done. Bipartisan agreement, among both the liberals and conservatives of Congress, on the fact that the power of union- ism has transgressed far beyond the point of diminishing returns has made it evident that sweeping- revisions are needed in the now ex- isting labor laws. However, it is dubious whether or not Congress will take any significant action without Presidential leadership. That this leadership will not be forthcoming was shown by the manner in wliich Kennedy side- stepped enforcement of the Taft- Hartley Act in the recent long- shoremen strike. Instead of en- forcement of the T-H Act, he turn- ed the issue over to a three-man arbitration board headed by Sena- tor Wayne Morse (D-Ore.). The reason for Kennedy's reluctance to act is obvious. Labor legislation is a Pandora's box; and being the master politician that he is, he will avoid opening the lid. J.F.K. needs labor's vote. That this vote is not always an ace up the sleeve for the Democrats was pointed out recently when Michigan (the stronghold for labor) elected George Romney as Governor (Re- publican and (possible GOP candi- date in the up-coming presidential race. Thus, no Kennedy action. That our major labor control law, the Taft-Hartley Act, is ob- solete is evident when one consid- ers two pertinent facts: (1) It is too inflexible. In the 21 times the act has been inacted, the unions involved have always been able to predict and to dodge administra- tion action. (2) The T-H Act can only be invoked ,m the ease of a "national emergency This lim- itation completely ignores those situations in which public conveni- ence is at stake. To make matters worse, and perhaps of greatest im- iportance, the definition of what constitutes a "national emergen- cy" is nebulous. There are so many Proposals and counter - proposals (some sound, aimed at closing the legal gap in the (present system; ?and some unsound, aimed at de stroying tine power of unions com- pletely) it is impossible, at this Point, to predict what form any new measures will assume. How- ever, two things are certain. The ?5 ?? h W U ? ?? r both the Admmistration and Oon, gress to take bold and definite taon.

Delicate, sensitive Winifred ar- rives at the castle by swimsming the moat. Abie to lift a dumbbell with one band and to take care of herself in general, Winifred is likely to be as unsuccessful as her predecessors but for the aid of the court jester, the minstrel, and the dashing knight. The jester and the minstrel discover that the Queen's ally, the wizard, is a member of their actor's union. The court is anxious to see Wini- fred wed Dauntless. Many of the ladies are feverishly trying to con- ceal the fact that, they have not waited for Dauntless' nuptials. Among these ladies is Lady Lar- ken, the beloved of Sir Harry, the dashing knight. The production staff is as fol- lows: director, Edgar Loessin; technical director, John Sneeden; stage manager, S-uzi Truesdale; lighting director, Bobby Imamura; c nductor, Gene Strassler; chore- rapher, Betty Rose Griffith; and costume designer, Noel Tisdale, assisted by Katherine Hoi lings- worth.

The production had been so successful that, for the first time in years, two road shows of the same play set out at he same time. Once Upon a Mattress tells the story of a mythical Iffth century kingdom which is the setting for a modem version of the old Hans ( hristian Anderson fairy tale, The Princess and the Pea. The ladies of the court have been forbidden to marry until Prince Dauntless weds. The raspy, dom- ineering Queen, who constantly bullies mute King Sextimus, does not want her baby boy cut loose from her apron strings. She de- crees that the girl who marries Dauntless must be so sensitive that she cannot sleep on a pile of twen- ty mattresses with the 'teen-ee- est" pea under it.

His compositions have been frequent- ly performed by music groups on the EC campus and at music clin- ics in North Carolina and other states. In 1960 Mr. Parnell's "In Quest of Truth" was performed by the East Carolina Symphonic Band at the inauguration of Dr. Leo W. Jenkins as President. His "Suite for Woodwind Quintet" was pre- sented in May, 1962, at the Con- temporary Music Festival of the Carolina Composers Group on the EC campus. "Two Grecian Scenes" had its premiere at East Carolina when it was played in 1962 by the East Carolina Symphonic Band at the Eastern N. C. Band Clinic. It will be performed before the Iowa Bandmasters' Association this Feb- ruary. Fisher Joins Foreign Language Dept. Faculty o Mrs. Violeta C.

In addition, she has taken courses in Spanish and edu- cation at Barry College in Miami, Florida. In Cuba she taught Spanish and English in 1945-1958 in Centro Especial No. 27 in Havana and last year taught English at the Lindsey Hopkins Education Cen- ter in Miami. Before coming to the United States because of the political sit- uation in Cuba, she had experience as a lawyer and notary public Peacetime Veterans Undergo VA Rehabilitation Counsel The first of some 2,000 North Carolina peacetime veterans with service-connected disabilities are undergoing Veterans Administra- tion counseling to avail themselves of rehabilitation benefits offered by a new law. J. D. DeRamns, Manager of the VA Regional Office at Winston- Salem, N. C, estimated today that approximately 100 veterans will begin training under Public Law 87-815 by next spring. The Peacetime Rehabilitation Law provides for education or job training for veterans who sustain- ed disabilities during peacetime military sarivce. Peacetime service for purposes of the new law is the period July 26, 1947, to June 26, 1950, and after February 1, 1955, when the Korean War period end- ed. Previously, only wartime vete- rans were eligible for such bene- fits. 'Training may contknue until the veteran becomes employable but cannot exceed 48 months Mr. De- Ramus said. The law requires VA to evaluate a veteran's potential and counsel him on the most suitable type of rehabilitation training. Mr. DeRamus pointed out that veterans who receive future VA peacetime disability rating will be notified of their possible entitle- ment to training. Those previously rated disabled should contact the VA Regional Office, 310 West Fourth Street, Witiston-Salem, N.C in the event they are in- terested in benefits of the law. While the law covers all dis- abled peacetime veterans, it is intended primarily to assist those with pronounced handicaps. Alpha Omioron Pi Initiates Five New Members Alpha Omicron Pi has announc- ed the initiation of five sisters of the Fall Quarter Pledge Class. Each sister maintained a scholas- tic average of C on all work taken in addition to passing other re- quirements of the social sorority during an eight-week pledge per- iod. The five new sisters are Cather- ine Elizabeth Hudson, Carolyn Anne Landin, Sandra Lucille Oliv- er, Catherine Tatum Moore, and Doris Ann Willets.

'The real problem appears to lie in the fact that the colleges have not clearly understood themselves in terms of nature, functions and roals. It is fairly obvious that col- lege officers cannot explain a col- lege to high school counsellors if they do not find it possible to ex- plain the college to themselves. The grand old man of American poetry, Robert Frost, died last Tuesday morning in a Boston hos- pital. His death followed a seven week batle against complications arising from an operation. Robert Lee Frost was born some 88 years ago in San Francisco. He sold his first poem, "My Butter- fly when he was twenty years old. Later, he started farming in Derry, New Hampshire and did not sell another poem for ten years. This New England life had a pow- erful influence on him which be- came evident in his later poetry. Frost left for Europe in 1912, and there he sold his first book of poems, A Boy's Will, which had been turned down earlier for pub- lication in tihe United States. His next work, North of Boston, was also published in Europe. It is a monologue which characterizes New England life. These two books established his reputation both abroad and at home. More recently, the U. S. Senate unanimously adopted a resolution honoring Frost on his seventy- fifth birthday. Part of the citation said his poems "have helped to iguide Atmerican thought with humor and wisdom, setting forth to our minds a reliable represen- tation of ourselves and all men President Kennedy said on his death, His dearth imporverishes us all; but he has bequeathed his nation a body of imperishable verse from which Americans will forever gain joy and understand- ing.

I was eighteen years old and receiving basic training in the Army before I was taught what respects are required of citi- zens and soldiers at Retreat. Prior to that, my patriotic education had consisted of learning the "Pledge of Allegiance" and "The Star Spangled Banner" in primary school and "repeating" them at school assemblies through the years. It took some time to learn how to pledge allegiance to the flag and "mean" it and to listen to the national anthem and "hear" it. Patriotism, or love of country, can be acquired in many ways. Some people merely think about the history, opportunities, beauty, or freedom, of the United States and become patriotic. Others ac- quire ipatriofcism by comparing life in America with life an other coun- tries. A lesson in patriotism gained by observing another country, par- ticularly an enslaved country. is not easily forgotten. I was lucky enough to be a mem- ber of the Infantry Battle Group which was sent to reinforce the American garrison in Berlin in August, 1961, when the East Ger- man Communists began building the wall around free West Ber- lin. The memory of armed police- men stationed at every crossroad on the highway between West Germany and West Berlin will be with me forever. But eveai more than that, I will remember the people who risked their lives to crawl up to the highway to wave at our convoy as we passed. Can you imagine having to risk your life to wave at someone? Seeding something like that makes you aw- fully glad you are an American. All Americans cannot learn to love their country by comfparing it with other countries, but there are ways of patriotically educating the public without sending them on guided tours. One of the best would be to place more emphasis on. pa- triotic education in our schools. In the final analysis, patriotism is a (personal matter, and there are only two possible decisions ? a person either loves his country or he does not love his country. How- ever, the people of the United States can do much toward multi- plying the decisions "for" love of country by emphasizing patriotic education. ?

On Campus Kith MaxQiraliran (Author of "I Wat a Teen-age Dwarf, "The Many Loves of Dobie GUlis etc) THE CURSE OF THE CAMPUS: NO. 2 As was pointed out last week, one would think that with all the progress we have made in the education game, something might have been done by now about roommates. But no. The roommate picture has not brightened one bit since Ethan Goodpimple founded the first American college. (Contrary to popular belief, Harvard was not the first. Mr. Goodpimple started his institution some 75 years earlier. And quite an institution it was, let me tell you! Mr. Goodpimple built schools of liberal arts, fine arts, dentistry, and tanning. He built a lacrosse stadium that seated 102,000. Everywhere on campus was emblazoned the stirring Latin motto CAVE MUSSI?"W&tch. out for moose The student union contained a bowling alley, a clock, and a 16-chair barber shop. ? '????-i. Kvi).w. ; . -? y -?.V?; ??-?- ??i?& k ed&(op 4??, $y 'ibhtt (It was this last feature?the barber shop?that, alas, brought Mr. Goodpimple's college to an early end. The student body, being drawn from the nearby countryside, was composed chiefly of Pequots and Iroquois who, alas, had no need of a barber shop. They braid their hair instead of cutting it, and as for shaving, they don't. The barber, Tremblatt Follicle by name, grew so depressed staring all the time at 16 empty chairs that one day his mind finally gave way. Seizing his vibrator, he ran outside and shook the entire campus till it crumbled to dust. This later became known as Pickett's Charge.) But I digress. We were discussing ways for you and your roommate to stop hating each other. This is admittedly diffi- cult but not impossible if you will both bend a bit, give a little. I remember, for example, my own college days (Berlits, '08). My roommate was, I think you will allow, even less agreeable than most. He was a Tibetan named Ringading whose native customs, while indisputably colorful, were not entirely endear- ing. Mark you, I didn't mind so much the gong he struck on the hour or the string of firecrackers he set off on the half-hour. I didn't even mind his singeing chicken feathers every dusk and daybreak. What I did mind was that he singed them in my hat. To be fair, he was not totally taken with some of my habits either?especially my hobby of collecting water. I had no jars at the time and just had to stack the water any-old-where. Well sir, things grew steadily cooler between Ringading and me, and they might have gotten actually ugly had we not each happened to receive a package from home one day. Ringading opened his package, paused, smiled shyly at me, and offered me a gift. "Thank you I said. "What is it?" "Yak butter he said. "You put it in your hair. In Tibetsa we call it gree see kidstuff "Well now, that's mighty friendly I said and offered him a gift from my package. "Now you must have one of mine "Thank you he said. "What is this called?" "Marlboro Cigarettes I said and held a match for him. He puffed. "Wow he said. "This sure beats chicken feathers tt "Or anything else you could name I said, lighting my own Marlboro. And as we sat together and enjoyed that fine flavorful Marlboro tobacco, that pure white Marlboro filter, a glow of good fellowship came over us?a serene conviction that no quarrels exist between men that will not yield to the warmth of honest good will. I am proud to say that Ringading and I re- main friends to this day, and we exchange cards each Christina and each Fourth of July, firecrackers. c Wherever you or your roommate may be?on any eampue in any city, town, or hamlet in any Btate of the Union?you will find Marlboro at your favorite tobacco counter?eoft pack or Alp top box Page 6 EAST CAROLIN I A N Friday, Feb SPORTS REVIEW By LLOYD "STACK" LANE There were many students wondering what the nick- name "Petrel" meant on the Oglethorpe uniform. We harve looked the word up and have found this: Petrel-petrel ? Any numerous sea birds of the order Procellariformes and family Hydrobatidae. They are long- winged birds which fly far from land, feeding on small sur- face swimming creatures and refuse from ships, and breed- ing in burrows and crevices in rocks and cliffs, usually on islands. The plumage is chiefly dark, sometimes with white areas. Several very small, dark-colored, white rumped species are very abundant in the Atlantic and are known as stormy petrels, or Mother Carey's chicken etc etc. . . . Why Oglethorpe is called the PETRELS, has not been figured out by the combined sports staff as of this writing. One athletic team that deserves much credit for bring- ing national recognition to EC is the swimming team under coach Ray Martinez. Our swimming team knocked off highly regarded Georgia in Athens Friday afternoon, and then went on to submerge a highly touted VPI team. One interest- ing note is that the VPI swimmers were making bets on how much they would beat Pirate finmen. The Pirate swimmers consisted of a spirited group of ten MEN. After the victory over VPI, Coach Martinez stated, "We'll beat every Southern Conference swimming team we play this year. This team is the hardest working group of young men that EC has had since I have been coach (EC has had two national championships, so this is really great praise to these fine young men.) SOME ODDS AND ENDS Richard Kemp, fullback for Lenoir Rhyne last year, has signed a professional football contract to play in the Cana- dian Football League. Kemp signed with the Ottawa Rough- riders. Choppy Patterson says: "By the end of the year we will gre Duke, UNC, or Wake Forest a tough time, and by the Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament we will be a con- tender In view of the surprising show of Clemson in last year's tournament, Patterson may be right. At least he knows the team's ability better than any sports writer. Choppy Pat- terson is a starting guard in the Clemson quintet, Clemson has won four of their last ten games. Billy Cunningham has done some amazing things this season, and is one reason why the un-hearalded Carolina five is in the middle of the conference fight for position at this time. Cunningham has been valuable to UNC as a high scorer as well as a leading rebounder. Carolina now has a 5-1 conference mark. The most amazing thing about Cun- ningham's performance is that he is only a sophomore. The Duke Blue Devils used sixth ranked West Virginia as a stepping stone to a higher national ranking. Duke beat West Virginia 111-71 in a regionally televised game last Saturday. The whipping of West Virginia moved Duke into third place in the national rankings. Pirate Swimmers Return HW1I1! From Victorious Road T Gridders Practice OnF rozen G roun d The 1963 Pirates began their Winter football drills on Monday, January 28. Approximately 65 play- ers tunned out. Of these, 23 were returning lettermen, 30 were from last years freshmen team and 7 untried, but selective, newcomers. The winter drills will consist of 20 practice sessions which must be held within 36 days after the first one. The rules and regulations of the Winter drills are under the sanction of the NXXA.A. There will be practice five days a week and on Saturday if it is necessary! The main objective of Winter drills is to develop the funda- mentals, primarily blocking and tackling. Also, it enables the coach- es to get an idea of what person- nel is on hand and to experiment with new offensive and defensive movements. Although most schools wait and have their Winter drills in the early Ipart of the Spring, Coach Stasavich holds his early so that it does not interfere with Spring sports here on campus. The session has already ibeen postponed one week due to the recent cold weather; the coach- es prefer the temperature to be between 40 and 45 degrees. Even though the athletes are expected to remain in top (physical shape year round, there will not be any scrimmaging until the third or fourth day. When asked his opinion in the new Substitution Rule, Coach Stas- avich said tfhat, it will change a lot of peoples' thinking; more peoiple will get an opportunity to play and it will cut down on the number of injuries. Expected to lead the squad in the Winter drills are: Maurice Allen, last years' signal caller; Jim Tol- ley; Bill Cline; Dave Buimgartner; and Richard Honeycutt. A sneak preview of the seasons' schedule shows three tough games. Two from the Southern Confer- ence: Univ. of Richmond on Sept. 14, and the Citadel on Nov. 2; and one from the Atlantic Coast Con- ference: Wake Forest on Sept. 21. The conuplete schedule will be re- leased the beginning of the Spring Quarter. The annual Purple and Gold ame, which climaxes the Winter drills, is tentatively scheduled for Starch 2. The Pirates swimmers found the change of scenery away from home conducive to winning as they knocked off a highly rated Univer- sity of Georgia swim team and an overconfident VPI group last week- end. The Pirates took ten men to Athens, Georgia last Friday night. The EC team was considered a breather in the tough Georgia schedule according to the Univer- sity's newspaper which stated some- thing to the effect that Georgia's team next hard test would be against Tulane on Saturday. EC was considered as akin to a prac- tice match. The EC swimmers began the weekend by polishing off the Geor- gia swim team. Georgia is the perennial second place finisher in the Southeastern Conference, be- hind nationally ranked University of Florida. The Pirates garnered seven of the eleven events to win by 51-43. Sophomore Harry Sober led the Pirates with impressive victories in the 200 yard freestyle (1:57.7) and 100-yard freestyle (51.5). 400-yd medley relay: Norwood, Sonoma, Federeci, Stutton ?

Saturday they encountered a VPI team that was so overconfident that their swimiming tea? was placing bets in the locker room before the match on how bad they would beat the Pirates. The Piimtos reacted to this in the way that they have become accustomed to answering corn-ments made by op- posing- teams. The Bucs beat VPI so badly that it will be doubtful if the boys at Blacksburg would car to schedule the EC team next year. 400-yd mHley reHy: Norwood. Somma, Federici, and Suttori ?

Coniff, the only senior on the squad, showed not only versatility, tut also the stub- horness which has kept him un- defeated (6-0) for the season, as he faced one of his toughest op- ponents. It was not an easy job. as he proved by winning his match on points, 11-3, after three rugged periods of wrestling. This was the first victory for EC's young but potent, matmen.
