Field events, skits, and entertainment from "The
Marlboros and "Peggy Scott and Jo Jo Benson"
highlighted the annual Greek Week which began with
a Field Day Monday afternoon.
Pledges from the various fraternities participated
;n the Greek Games which featured 10 events
including a three legged race, a 60 yard dash, and a
wheelbarrel race. Kappa Alpha Fraternity took first
in the games.
Skits presented by the pledges of the fraternities
highlighted Tuesday night and were found to be
"original" and yet "not too risque" by Dean James
Mallory, dean of men. The winner of the skit night
was Kappa Sigma Fraternity.
Awards for the winners of the Greek Games and
the skit night along with other various trophies were
presented Wednesday night at the Awards Banquet.
The Greek Award was shared by three fraternities,
Kappa Alpha, Kappa Sigma and Sigma Phi Epsilon
Dean Mallory noted that because of the tie a change
is probable in the method of judging for next year's
Greek Week.

James Whitfield. editor
a perspective in change
James Whitfield's papers
were different.
Whitfield was the editor of
the "Teco Echo the East
Carolina student newspaper,
during the 1940-1941 school
year.
He changed the design to
let the value of the news in the
paper determine the makeup
of the paper. The Associated
Collegiate Press said his was
the most revolutionary format
they had ever seen.
"I wasn't trying to be
revolutionary Whitfield
explained. "I just thought the
news should be displayed in
the paper according to its
value. So that's what we did.
The whole idea was to give the
stories more play
Nothing I;Ke that had ever
been done before his time. All
the previous issues had looked
pretty much alike. Everything
had been set in a pattern, and
the stories carried labels
instead of headlines.
It was his idea, however,
that the paper should display
news according to the coverage
it deserved, and that a headline
should be a true headline and
not a mere label.
News determined the
paper's layout, and news
dominated its display, but
other stories appeared also.
"We tried to get a balance of
everything in the paper
Whitfield remembers. "We got
more features and articles in
the paper, and more student
opinion on the editorial page
CHANGES
Format wasn't the only
thing he changed. Before his
day, the biweekly paper had
been printed in Raleigh.
Deadlines were set a full week
By EDWARD BRODIE
in advance of the printing
date, for the whole paper had
to be sent to Raleigh in time
to be printed and returned.
Whitfield brought the place
of publication back to
Greenville. Deadlines for the
biweekly Thursday papers
could then be set on Tuesdays,
and late-breaking stories could
be included.
The office at that time was
located in the basement of Old
Austin. "There were probably
a dozen people who worked
on the paper regularly
Whitfiled said. "Each of the
staff members were assigned
certain types of news to cover.
"In addition, the office was
a kind of gathering place for
the rest of the students, and
we'd let any of them work
that wanted to. I liked that. It
made the paper an integral
part of campus life
EXPERIENCE
Sports was Whitfield's
specialty. He began covering
Greenville sports and general
news for the Raleigh "News
and Observer" and the
"Norfolk Ledger-Dispatch"
while still a sophomore in
Greenville High School.
By the time he was a
freshman at East Carolina,
Whitfield was serving as
Greenville correspondent for
several publications. He was
appointed "Teco Echo" Sports
Editor for his sophomore year.
"I made a lot of changes as
Sports Editor, too he recalls.
"We used to have an old
wooden bucket called the "Bo
Hunk Trophy which would
go to the winner of our games
with Atlantic Christian. We'd
always play that up big.
For Sale
1964 VW Bus excellent
mech. cone). New engine and

or going price. Call 756-0838
after 3 pm.
I he paper sponsored
contests and gave prizes for
the best cheers. It also
sponsored pep rallies, which
would be broadcast over the
radio.
"We'd play up coming
games, coming teams, and such
things as the Varsity Club
Sweetheart he added, "but
again, it was all according to
the news value.
AWARDS
Whitfield's sports pages
took "First Place" ratings in
competition at the University
of Minnesota.
The next year, as
editor-in-chief, his papers were
acclaimed by the Associated
Collegiate Press as one of the
top two biweekly college
papers in the nation.
Whitfield was the first
editor to be re-elected to serve
for a second year. However,
before he could begin his
second year, in the fall of
1941, he was drafted.
He later returned to East
Carolina, graduating in the
summer of 1947. From here,
he went directly to the Raleigh
"News and Ooserver where
he has since served as assistant
state editor and then as state
editor.
Whitfield has also served as
President of the East CArolina
Alumni Association, and is
now serving his second term as
a member of the East Carolina
Board of Trustees.
Commenting on the late
changes made in "The East
Carolinian Whitfield said he
was glad to see some of his
ideas coming back. "I like it
he said. "It's right in line with
what I would be doing if I
were still Editor

JOHN WHITFIELD,the 1940-41 Editor of the East

of which won him several national awards in

Thousand Clowns
preview of systems
Page 5
By ROBERT
"A Thousand Clowns" is an
incredibly funny show made
n funnier by the adept
acting of Mark Ramsy in the
lead role.
Ramsey, a veteran of many
Playhouse productions,
performs superbly in the ole
0 f Murray Burns, a
non-conformist comedy writer
who refuses to be
"computerized
"systemized "categorized
or "assimilated" by a
cybernetic society.
Murray is humanity, the
little quy who refuses to be
molded by society's demands,
the impish commentator on
manners and morals in our
"sophisticated impersonal
society
MAKES PLAY GO
Ramsey conveys the nower
and the pathos of Murray
Burns with incredible
dexterity and emotional rnage.
Indeed, he makes the play go.
Without Ramsey to provide
continuity, the plot would
founder between high points
and drag along at a mediocre
pace.
Nancy Cherry is
unconvincing in the female
lead of young
psychologisy social worker
who becomes emotionally
McDowell
involved with some of her
clients. She tacks intensity and
timing, two essentials for
well executed comedy.
Nevertheless, she shows great
promise for roles fo a more
dramatic nature.
Tommy Miller plays the
part of the "boy genius"
nephew a bit too smugly. He
seems a little intoxicated with
hiw own stage presence. His
wit is either weak or
nonexistant.
SUPPORTERS EXCELLENT
The supporting cast of "A
Thousand Clowns" turned in
excellent performances. Bob
Caprio is the epitomy of the
colorless, dehumanized, social
worker who carries out his
office efficiently without the
least element of humanity.
Cullent Johnson is perfectly
cast as Murray's older brogher
Arnold who has traded his
freedom for the security of an
upper middleclass existence.
The only surprise in the
show is the acting prowess
which Jim Leedom showed in
the pivotal role of Leo
Herman, alias "Chuckles the
Chipmunk
He comes actoss with
amaing strength, upstaging
Ramsey and dominating the
stage for the duration of his
performance.
Comic Case Study Social Workers interview Murry and Nick Burns in a scene from the East
Urolma Playhouse probuction of "A Thousand Clowns' which opened last night in McGinnis
Auditorium. P.ctured left to right are Bob Caprio, Mark Ramsey .Tommy Miller, and Nancy
Lherry. Tickets are available at the Central Ticket Office. The comedy plays through Thursday.
POLISH AND POISE
A freshman, Leedom shows
polish and poise in the major
supporting role of the many
"complexed Chuckles
As usual, John Sneeden has
provided the superb sets for
which the playhouse is known.
Edgar Loessin must be
commended for an excellent
production and a fitting
climax to the 196869
Playhouse season.

Edwardian Arrives
The East Carolinian
Page 7
Edwardian is here. The
elegant Edwardian, long staple
0f the Saville Row tailor, is
dominating fashion for me as
10 look has in the last ten
years. Indeed, the shapley
Edwardian look has in the last
ten years. Indeed, the shapley
Edwardian look is the
forerunner of greater things to
come in men's fashion.
The Edwardina Look,
wnich had its origins in the
Edwardian age as a revolt
against the severity of
Victorian clothes, is not just a
fad, hut a logical development
of stylmy trends over the past
three years. In this respect, the
Edwardian look is significantly
different from the look of the
Nehru which had no styling
trend to follow, but was just a
quick fad.
The return to the elegance
of Edwardian is generally
credited to fashion designer
Pierre Cardin, whom fellow
designer Bill Blass has called
"the most stimulating
influence in the last decade,
mayhe even the last century
Cardin started the trend to
now mature Edwardian look in
1960, when the Beatles and
the Rolling Stones picked
Card in -designed,
Edwardidn influenced clothes.
From then until now, the
Edwardina look has been
gathering steam, and now it is
influencing everything men
wear, from raincoats to formal
wear.
The latest forerunner of
today's Edwardian look was
the "hacking jacket" look,
copied from the English
hunting coat. This look made
the scene about three years,
and introduced such things as
shape, deep inverted pleats,
and three waistpocket design!
Without proper support from
equally advanced accessories,
and, without a men's
revolution in clothing, the
"hacking jacket" look faded
away, giving only a glimpse of
things to come.
Why is Edwardian so
popular? How did it come
about? Listen to Pierre Cardin:
"I was bored with those awful
square men. All that padding
with their pants floating
around their thighs, with great
lumps in their pockets on their
rumps, with trouser cuffs
slopping around their shoes. It
was monstrous
If Cardin designed the
Edwardian look to get rid of
"square men it seems that he
also got rid of another fashion
trend, the two button. Maurice
Julian, of Julian' College Shop
in Chapel Hill has this to say
about Edwardian: "I think
that Edwardian clothes will be
very popular. The look will
never quite go out, it will
always be in style and in
influence. The old two-button
suit, with no shape to it at all,
is gone forever

The popularity of
Edwardian Clothes, says
Milton Julian, of Milton's
Clothing Cupboard in Chapel
Hill, is because "It's fun. It is
elegant. It is a change, and it is
comfortable. Edwardian
clothes are going to be very
very big. There is so much you
can do with the look
California, a fashion center
of the country because of its
cosmopolitan population, is
buying Edwardian, in one
form or another, at a rapid
pace. Even conservative shops,
like Brooks Brothers have
added shape to their suits.
What,exactly, is
Edwardian? A study of the
basic Edwardian look as
exemplified in the Pierre
Cardin suit will give you a
good idea of what to look for
in Edwardian clothes. The
jacket should have high arm
holes, so that the coat falls
naturally over your body from
this high cut. The jacket will
also have shape to it, tucking
in at the waist, and it will be a
fairly long jacket. In double
breasted models, there will be
usually si; buttons, sometimes
eight. There are three pockets
at waist level, all straight, no
slant-cut.
The lapels are tightly cut
and wide. In the rear of the
jacket there is a deep center
vent, an inverted pleat, or two
ddep side vents. Collars are
usually notch-type, although
the Napolean collar is gaining
favor. In the pants, the fit is
close, with a slight "bell" at
the bottom.
The Edwardian look is
definitely elegant. To get the
most from that look, you
should follow some guidelines.
One is that almost all
Edwardian clothes are meant
to be worn with brightly
colored shirts.
Another guideline is the
buyer himself. Do not buy
Edwardian clothes it you are
fairly short or very rounded in
physique. To wear Edwardian
clothes under such conditions
will only make you look
foppish.
Ties worn with Edwardian
clothes should be wide and
colorful. A scarf may
substitute for a tie for
informal occasions. Shoes
should be buckle.
Edwardian and its influence
is here to stay. Enjoy the
edwardian look and bring a
little bit of elegance into your
life.

Fitting suits is easy
e
You do not buy a suit the
way yon buy a clock radio.
The proper way to buy a
suit is to take the time to do it
right, to check the cut of the
suit itself, the fabric, and then
have it fitted properly.
Since few people can afford
the luxury of custom-made
clothes the next best thing is
to wear ready-made suits that
fit like custom-made clothes.
It is really not such a hard
task to get a suit to fit
perfectly, if you will only take
the time to do it right.
By following the guidelines
below, you will be able to have
a ready made suit fit you like
it was custom tailored.
The first thing to do when
buying a suit is to examine the
fabric and the suit itself.
Crumple a handful of
material from the lapel or
front of the suit jacket. If the
lapel springs back to its
original shape wighout
wrinkling, the fabric is of a
superior quality. Next,
carefully note the suit pattern
and see if it is matched up at
the back, sleeves, lapel and
collar. On the better suits, the
pattern will match exactly.
Also, check the lining in the
coat. Better suits will be fully
lined. The last thing to do
when you examine the suit, is
to inspect the stiching around
the button holes and the
seams. The stiching should be
firm, closely spaced, and
inconspicuous.
When you try on the suit in
the dressing room look at tht
arm holes. The arm hole
should be high so that the
jacket will drape cr ectly.
The jacket should also be
lined-the best suits are fully
lined.
When you try on the suit,
transfer everything that you
have in your posckets and that
you normally carry to the suit
you are trying on.
This is important. You

must have the suit fitted the
way you will wear it- not, the
way it lis fitted on a manequin
with nothing in the pockets.
When you stand in front of
the three way mirror, notice
first of all the jacket fit.
Do not stand at attnetion
but stand the way you
normally do. Lift your arms. If
the jacket sleeve show excess
wrinkles, the coat has low arm
holes and will have to
re-tailored to fit properly.
Observe whethei 01 not the
sleeves remain the proper
length when the arm is bent.
The cuff should show about a
half inch at the cuff, and
bottom of the jacket should
reach the second joint of the
thumb.
On Edwardian clothes, the
jacket will be slightly longer.
After you have put the
jacket on, button it and take a
deep breath. There should be
tension in the front of the
The collar should lay flat
against the base of the neck. If
the collar is too high, then it
should be lowered so that
about a half inch of collar
shows.
If the collar is too loose,
there will be a separation
between the back of the coat
and the shirt. This, too, should
be corrected by tightening the
seams.
The back of the jacket
should drape naturally. If the
coat is too tight, there will be
wrinkles along the side seams
and at the bottom. If the coat
is too loose, there will be
tent like folds actoss the back
of the acket.
The last thing to be fitted is
the trousers.
Try on trousers with a belt,
ntoched where you normally
notch it. Tht will prevent yuu
from making the too common
mistake of hiking the pants up
because they are loose.
If you hike up pants while

Women begin their
'second revolution'
Page 9
Just as the men are
undergoing their own clothinp
revolution, the women are
doing thier thing with their
"second revolution
The first revolution in
women's clothing, about 1966,
brought the miniskirt into the
fashion world. The revolution
that women's clothes are
undergoing now is perhaps the
most significant one of all.
Now, women are no longer
slaves to look that comes out
of Pans, twice a year. Today's
woman is free.
She wears everything from
miniskirts to long, flowing
gowns, and changes her
hairstyle as easily as she
changes her civ thes.
The big influence, of
ocurse, is freedom. Nowhere is
this fieedom more expressive
than in the pants suits. The
major look in the pants suit is
the double breasted jacket
with bell bottom trousers. The
coming thing, however, looks
like it is going to be the
"elephant leg" pants suit.
In make up, the look is soft
and light. Light shades are the
things to wear in the spring
and summer, and, please, not
loo much. Pastels, light brown
jnd black eyeliners, and
frosted lipstick are the things
in mal e up.
roday's woman is almost
excellently dressed. She
shuffles her wardrobe from
tyle, wearing anything that
pleases her, not stuck in one
fashion rut. A single closet
might contain everything from
a Courrege's pants suit to a
Doctor Zchivago long coat.
Body shirts are becoming
more popular. Body shirts,
usually of a light fabric, are a
direct descendent of the
"California look" which so
influenced makeup.
In shoes, anything goes,
from black satin pumps foi
formal wear to sandals fo. jusl

Miniskirts, thank God, are
still in, and scooters, shorts
made like a skirt, are becoming
more popular every day. Joy
should be expressed that
miniskirts are still in. Without
them the wall would be an

Peacock revolution is
male elegance comes
jhe Peacock Revolution is
upon the male. Brightly
colored shirts, elegant
Edwardians, neck scarves,
buckle shoes, bell bottom
trousers, and wide ties all add
up to the biggest revolution in
men's fashion since the days of
Beau Brummell.
Today, the male is finally
becoming aware of his
traditional role as wearer of
the colored plumage. Students
troughout the world have
adopted the new look;
business men are going to the
new look more and more each
day, even Senators are wearing
bell bottoms. The revolution
in men's clothing is here.
Only ten years ago the male
animal was hopelessly locked
into two button Ivy League
suits, wearing a white collar to
work every day, dressed in
deep browns, greys, and
blacks.
Today, the young business
executive and college student
is apt to be wearing a six
button Edwardian blazer, a red
shirt, a white tie, grey bell
bottoms, and black buckle
shoes.
The renaissance in men's
clothing came about as the
result of two distinctly related
incidents. One was the
entrance of famed women's
fashion designer Pierre Cardin
into the realm of men's wear.
The first thing that Cardin did
was to declare war on the
stuffed, uncolorful male look
that then prevailed. The
product of Cardin's
dissatisfaction with men's
clothing was the now classic
Cardin Suit.
The second big pinnacle in
the liberation of the male
came with the emergence of
the Beatles as the world's top
pop stars, wearing none other
than the classic Cardin suit.
Because of their immense
popularity and influence, the
Beatles turned the young of
America on to the coming
took m men's fashions. The
young immediately adopted
the Beatles' look in toto,
including the hairstyle. What
the Beatles did was to get the
young of America interested in
'ash ion.
A further milestone in the
liberation of the male from his
9rey and white world was the
hippie movement. The hippie
movement, with its brightly
colored clothes and mix and
match styling, pushed color to
the forefront of American
fashion, and popularized the
bell bottom trouser. Designers
seized upon the new colors
and incorporated them in their
clothes and shirts. The
designerrs also used certain
styling trends from the hippie
movement, but they calmed
down the look somewhat for
consumption by the American
public.
Today, there is such a large
variation and proliferation of
fashion looks, that a man can
wear almost any look he
wishes. European influence is
evident in today's clothing
styles, and so is the
ever-more-popular look of
Edwardian. Everything in
men's fashion is changing.
Shirts are becoming re brightly
colored, ties are wider, bell
bottoms more flared, even the
lowly mustache has become a
fashion accessory.
Along with the rise of
fashion, there has come
increased attention and
interest in men's wear among
the media.
Possibly one of the longest
reaching influences in men's
fashion has been the rise of the
designer label, long a staple in
women's fashion. Men today
know and talk freely about the
designs of the world's top five
men. clothing designers: Bill
Bias, Pierre Cardin, John
Weitz, Hardy Aimes, and Oleg
Cassini. Together, these five
men sold over 129 million
dollars worth of men's
fashions last year, and that
amount is sure to increase in
1969.
Business men, especially
those connected with
media-related jobs such as
advertising and show business,
have been quick to pick up the
new look. There are still some
companies like IBM, which has
an unwritten rule that men
wear white shirts to work, but
the trend is to the more
colorful, sharper male. Jack
Tinker and Co a New York
based Advertising agency that
does, among other things,
those captivating Alka Seltzer
commercials, has an office of
copywriters that regularly
come to work in bells, long
collar shirts, and scarves.

Give your
contact lenses
a bath
tonight
In order to keep your contact lenses as
comfortable and convenient as they were
meant to be, you have to take care of
them. But until now you needed two or
more separate solutions to properly
prepare and maintain your contacts. Not
with Lensine. Lensine is the one lens
solution for complete contact lens care.
Cleaning your contacts with Lensine
retards the buildup of foreign deposits on
the lenses. And soaking your contacts in
Lensine overnight assures you of proper
lens hygiene. You get a free soaking case
pn the bottom of every bottle of Lensine.
It has been demonstrated that improper
storage between wearings may result in
the growth of bacteria on the lenses.
This is a sure cause of eye irritation and
in some cases can endanger your vision.
Bacteria cannot grow in Lensine which is
sterile, self-sanitizing, and antiseptic.
Just a drop or two of Lensine, before you
insert your lens, coats and lubricates it
allowing the lens to float more freely in
the eye's fluids. That's because
Lensine is an "isotonic" solution,
which means that it blends with
the natural fluids of the eye.
LENSINE
Let your contacts be the
convenience they were
meant to be. Get

In Downtown Greenville
The big news in fashion this
year is shape. Shape, a slight
depression at the waist, is
influencing the cut of almost
all suits and sportcoats.
ECU males, among the best
dressed in the country,
continue to be fashion
concious, but, in their own
conservatism. Here is what the
ECU male is wearing this
spring
SUITS
In suits, as in sport coals,
the word is double breasted,
usually with a deep centet vent
oi with two deep side vents.
Plaids and stupes ait popular,
and the lighter shades,
especially white, predominate.
The classic Navy Blue blazer is
making a return, but this time
it is double breasted, usually
with six oi more buttons.
Sport coats are influenced
by the Edwardian look and are
generally longer than last year
with slightly wider lapels.
Crowell Pope of the Campus
Corner tell that the white suit,
worn with navy blue tie, is one
of the most popular items in
fashion this spring.
Not since the elegant
Gatsby wore white has white
enjoyed the renaissance that it
is undergoing this year. Knits
are beginning to make an
knflux into the men's world of
fashion, but not enough to be
seen regularly on the ECU
campus.
SHIRTS
Scrappy Proctor of The
Pirate's Den tells us that shirts
continue to be colorful, with
the spread collar and French
cuffs considered "de riguer
The most popular color is
French Blue, with navy blue
and gold, green and yellow a
close second.
TIES
Ties are wide, wide, wide.
Four and four and one half
inches in width is common.
The colors are in every shade
of the rainbow, and that staple
of the gangster, the white tie,
is becoming just the thing to
wear with dark navy and red
shirts.
Wider ties are needed to
balance out the look of the
shaped double breasted suit
and sportcoat. Also entering
into the fashion scene is the
neck scarf, which casually
dresses up an outfit, and rids
man of the need to we.n a tie
to be slightly
SHOES
George Coffman of
Coffman's Men's Wear says the
trend in shoes is to buckles, in
either brown or black.
Another shoe that is gaining m
popularity is the George Raft
Black and White Wingtip. The
Black and White wingtip S
directly influenced by the
Thirties "gangster look" that is
so prevalent in all of fashion
today.
PANTS
Pants are slim or flaired
Solid colors predominate. The
flaired pant is just begging to
show up at ECU, and wherevei
the flaired pant is, bell
bottoms will surely follow.
Pants without belts are
becoming popular and are
worn with the ever popular
golf shirt.
As usual, ECU men
tend to be conservative in then
dress, preferring to wait and
see about national trends
before adopting it as thru
own.
National trends are much
the same as ECU's although
more exaggerated. A tup to
Chapel Hill in the Piedmont
will show that the bell bottom
trouser and boots has replaced
the Levi jeans as the thing to
wear to class.
With the multitude of style's
that abound this year, and
with the Peacock revolution
just beginning to have its
effect on men's clothes, there
is plenty of fine clothing foi

what his taste in clothing.

f-urman swept a
doubleheader from East
Carolina Saturday afternoon
to knock the Pirates out of the
title race and put themselves
on top as they won two
one-run squakers, 4-3 and 1-0.
Both games went into extra
innings.
The Pirates had several
oppoutunities to win the first
game, getting runners in
scoring position in every
inning but two of the eight
innings played. In only one
inning, the seventh, did the
Bucs score, and it was mainly
due to a pair of Furman errors.
In the second game, the
Pirates were held to only a pair
of hits by Terry Deaver who
retired the last 14 men in a
row. The Bucs got both of
their hits in the second inning,
when they got men on second
and third with one out and the
bases loaded with two out but
couldn't score. That was their
only threet as Deaver allowed
only one other baserunner
who was promptly erased in a
double play.
FURMAN TAKES THE LEAD
The Purple Paladins scored
an unearned run in the second
inning and it eventually turned
out to be the difference. Neil
Eichelberger got an infield
single to lead off the inning.
John Campbell grounded to
the pitcher who fired to
second, but the second
baseman dropped the throw as
both runners were safe. Tom
Latham sacrificed the runners
up and Denny Moore flied to
shallow right for the second
out. An Hancock then
singled in Eichelberger for a
1-0 lead.
In the sixth, Furman added
a pair of runs to make it 3-0.
Marvin Haley walked and was
sacrificed to second and then
moved to third on a wild
pitch. Campbell singled in
Haley for one run. Latham
forced Campbell at second and
then scored on Denny Moore's
double to left for a 3-0
Furman lead.
BUCS TALLY IN SEVENTH
The Bucs, meanwhile, had
been wasting scoring chances
before they finally cut loose in
the seventh inning. Rusty
Edmundson led off by
reaching first on an error. Stu
Garrett singled to right, and
after Bobby Norman popped
out for the first out, Dick
Corrada walked to load the
bases. Carey Anderson then
came close to winning the
game for the Pirates as his
drive to deep center was held
up by the wind and blown
back into the park where

Latham made the catch
against the fence. Two runners

fell down. Dave Shields then
reached first on an error as
Corrada scored from second
with the tying run.
Furman then came back
cooly to win the game. With
one out, Latham and Moore
got back-to-back singles and
Hancock walked to load the
bases. Mike Filipic then laid
down a perfect suicide squeeze
bunt on two strikes to score
Latham with the winning run.
ROBINSON AND DEAVER
In the second game, Sonny
Robinson hurled a fine game,
but as in the first game behind
Ron Hastings, he didn'g get
enough batting support.
The Paladins threatened
twice before they finally won
the game in the eighth inning.
In both threats, they got
runners as far as second with
two out but Robinson held
them off.
In the eighth, Larry Dean
signled to deep short with one
out and then moved to second
on Glenn Fry's ground out.
Marvin Haley then broke the
scoreless deadlock with a run
scoring single to left that
decided the issue.
BUCS GET ONE CHANCE

only four baserunners in the
second game, it was the

Crew finishes sixth in Regatta ,
Georgetown University first
The ECU varsity crew
finished sixth in the Dad Vail
Regatta at Philadelphia last
weekend.
Georgetown University
captured first place in the
event followed by St. Joseph's,
Trinity, the University of
Massachusetts, George
Washington, and ECU.
The Dad Vail Regatta is an
annual affair which is called
the "world series" of rowing.
BEST KNOWN
Along with the Eastern
Sprints, this regatta is
probably the best known in
the United States. No less than
29 crews started in the
eliminating heats which began
on Friday morning. To
advance to the next heat, a
team had to place third or
better out of a field of six.
The Pirates finished third in
their first heat, losing to St.
Josephs and Purdue.
In Saturday morning's
semi-finals the Bucs knew that
they would have to finish
second to make it to the final
heat. This task looke difficult
as three of their opponents
were Georgetown, Rollins, and
Villanova, who had defeated
East Carolina during the
regular season. Coach
Pezzulla's men rose to the
occasion, however, and
finished second.
To just row in the finals at
the Dad Vail is a feat of which
every crew dreams but few
attain.
This honor is reserved for
the top six teams in the
country, and the East Carolina
crew is now among this select
group. Since the varsity will
lose only Rick Logan through
graduation, propects for next
year are excellent.
Davidson dominance ends,
Furman takes tennis title
CHARLESTON, S.C
Furman won the team
championships and The
Citadel won the top individual
titles Saturday in the Southern
Conference tennis tournament.
The Furman Paladins took
three of the six singles titles
and two of the doubles crowns
to gather 20 points and end a
four year domination by
Davidson in Southern
Conference tennis.
Tee Hooper of The Citadel
won the No. 1 singles title
defeating Woody Faulk of
Davidson, 6-4, 5-7, and 7-5.
Hooper and his teammate,
Randy Heffron, then captured
the No. 1 doubles title with a
6-4, 2-6, and 7-5 win over
Ho- tf'd Hunt and Gerald
Apiefield of Furman.
The final team scores were
Furman with 20, the Citadel,
18; George Washington, 15;

"We thought first class, and
we played first class were the
words of winning golf Coach
John Welborn after the Bucs
first place finish in the
Southern Conference Golf
finals at Pinehurst last week.
Welborn seems to have this
"thing" about setting school
records this year. Earlier in the
year he guided the Wrestling
team to a second, in the
Southern Conference, the best
in the school's history. Now,
with this first place, the golf
team has made history by
capturing the first,
championship in golf. East
Carolina joined the Southern
in 1964, but was not eligible
for any championships that
year.
Friday, Welborn settled
back and enjoyed the thought
of his first golf title, but spoke
more of the upcoming
Nationals to be held in mid
June.
The odds are that the Bucs
will receive a bid to go to the
Nationals, in Broadstone,
Colorada.
"If we receive a bid, and
funds are available, we will go

Rivalries mar Greek Week
Violence, disappointment, and interfraternity
rivalries marred the 1969 Greek Week. Saturday
afternoon's cuncert on Bill Mosier's lawn turned into
tr)e greeks' biggest failure.
Two fraternities, Kappa Alpha and Theta Chi
decided that their personal differences should be
decided at the expense of others.
The actions, instigated by two KA's and a Theta
Chi, became the undoing of hard work and dedication
displayed on the part of the Greek Week
coordinators. Paul Breitman, social chairman for the
Interfraternity Council, saw his overextended efforts
to further the greek system end in a ridiculous display
of self restraint.
The Saturday entertainment was originally to have
featured Archie Bell and the Drells along with Peggy
Scott and Jo Jo Benson. Archie Bell did not show for
the concert, but Breitman was able to convince Peggy
Scott and Jo Jo Benson to play two shows.
The 1000 people present, the greeks and their
dates, thoroughly enjoyed the first show after the
bass guitar was replaced. During the second show,
two KA's climbed on top of the stage and displayed a
banner implying obscene connotations for all to see.
This touched off a series of fights which involved at
least 50 people. The Theta Chi's raced to the front of
the stage in their defense of honor, and the KA's were
forced to show their loyalty in defense of their two
brothers.
Peggy Scott and Jo Jo Benson were forced to stop
their show because of the rioting and beer cans hurled
at the disarrayed mob. The Greenville police then
arrived on the scene with their army. They were very
helpful in spraying mace into the eyes of anyone
enjoying the show. Many innocent bystanders were
b nded for hours thanks to the helpful and
concerned "quick trigger" cops.
The fray lasted about fifteen minutes while the
1000 dazed spectators scrambled for safety from the
irate Theta Chi's and irrational police.
These irresponsible actions by a few greeks ruined
the almost successful bond that had been drawn
between the fraternities. In the last few years, the
ECU fraternities have constantly pointed out the lack
of support afforded them by the administration. This
weekend presented the fraternities as the
irresponsible high school gangs they have turned into.
Maybe someday the fraternities will mature and
earn the respect that they so outwardly demand.
Maybe someday they will realize that they are
founded on brotherhood, not petty loyalties. Maybe
someday, not 1969.

Editor's note:
The two following letters
were written to the student
body by Theta Chi and Kappa
Alpha fraternities concerning
an argument between brothers
in these fraternities last
Saturday during a Greek Week
concert.
Dear Students:
We the Brothers and pledges
of Kappa Alpha Order wish to
publicly apologize for the
actions of two of our brothers
at the IFC activities Saturday,
May 10.
Their actions certainly do
not reflect our standards of
personal integrity and
gentlemanly conduct.
It is indeed unfortunate
that a matter between a few
individuals could spoil a fine
weekend for the entire greek
system.
The actions of these few are
inexcusable and will be dealt
with firmly. We hope that
those people directly as well as
indirectly concerned in this
matter will join with us in
helping to prevent any future
event of this nature.
This incident will cause
some to again point to the
greek system as meaningless
and worthless. The many
worthwhile projects, lifelong
biotherhood, and good deeds
will be overlooked by those
few disenchanted critics. All
the good will be laid to rest
and the bad distorted out of
proportion.
Our cintics fail to realize
that we are only human just as
they. We are not perfect and
do not claim to be.
If we could not admit our
mistakes we would not be
fraternity men in the true
sense of the work; we would
not be KAs.
Brothers and Pledges
Kappa Alpha Order
Dear Students:
A man is never wrong doing
what he thinks is necessary
and right. Th.s is the Theta
Chi's justification for their
actions taken Saturday
afternoon at Spring IFC.
A painted sign displayed in
poor taste by several members
of another fraternity, was the
immediate cause. The sign,
supposedly humorous to its
creators did not approach any
degree of humor to the
members of my fraternity.
The Theta Chis responded
as should anyone with the
moral character required to
stand up and defend what they
believe. This is human nature
and we are not apologizing for
being human.
My only regret is that
Kappa Alphas' name became
involved. The sign was not an
idea of fraternity origin but
one involving individuals. I
realize that a man's name and
the name of his fraternity are
inseparable in most instances.
However, in this situation, an
entire fraternity should not
suffer punishment for the
actions of two of its members.
For those people who
demand apologies from the
Theta Chi's for supposedly
ruining IFC, all I can say is
that it's hard to ruin three
hours of "picking wild
mountain berries
Phil Goodman, Presdent
Theta Chi Fraternity
Dear Editor:
If a Senior non Greek,
raised in a middle class North
Carolina family, might
comment on the fracas that
occurred during Greek Week, I
would like to utter a loud
gasp. It seems as if some of the
ultimate cool got lost during
the melee.
I will wait with bated
breath to see if our illustrious
Dean Mallory brings any
Greeks up for "conduct
unbecoming an ECU student"
etc.
Of course, the police who
were going wild with their Jr.
Riot Control Kits will agree
that this was nothing like the
riot they had to curb a few
weeks ago. It was a real hassle
trying to get those niggers out
of the cafeteria, I bet.
Where are you now that we
need you, University Judicial
Council?
NAME WITHHELD
BY REQUEST
Dear Editor:
Looks like our own East
Carolinian has joined the ranks
of TRASH. Yes, our beloved
school newspaper has yet
another new look: nudity.
I refer to your
one-fourth-of-a-page
advertisement of the
"two-sided jnforgettably

displaying John and Yoko in
the nude.
How reassuring to know
that we no longer remain a
literary oddity, but have
joined the rest of the team

Robert John Karl
Editor's Note:
This letter is the result of a
prob I em - sol v i ng group
discussion conducted in
Business and Professional
Speech.
In this discussion, seven
students undertook to solve
the problem created by the
charges against the four black
students arrested as a result of
their alledged blocking of a
cafeteria line on April 1.
The problem was discussed
in a conference-type situation
much like the procedure used
in collective bargaining
sessions between union and
management. The following
represents the conclusions
reached by the seven students:
Dear Dr. Jenkins:
We, the undersigned
students, after a thorough
analysis of all evidence
available concerning the
changes pending in the First
District Court against four
black students, submit the
following recommendations:
1. Drop all charges pending
in First District Court against
the four black stu ants.
2. Issue a clear and precise
statement as to administrative
policy regarding the separation
(continued on page 16)
Page 16
The East Carolinian
May 12. 1969
(continued from page 15)
of campus and state
jurisdiction concerning
conduct of ECU students.
After analyzing the
evidence we feel that the
action taken against the black
students represented an
unprecendented departure
from previous University
policy.
As we know, each year
many ECU students are
discovered possessing alcoholic
beverages on campus, which is
contrary to state law. Yet the
incidents har handled
exclusively by the University's
judicial bodies, not state
courts. Students who are
discovered stealing books are
tried before the University's
Honor Council, not in state
courts.
Yet when four black
students are discovered
blocking cafeteria lines, they
are hauled into state court. We
find this inexcusable.
There has never been any
clear-cut policy statement
made by any administration
official regarding the question
of when campus jurisdiction
ends and when state
jurisdiction takes over, your
March 31 speech included.
We feel that students have
the right to know what action
will result in an appearance
before the campus judicial
system and what action will
result in an appearance before
the state judicial system.
Therefore, we call for a
precise, definite policy
statement on this matter
immediately
We feel that since the
separation of jurisdiction had
not been precisely spelled out
at the time of arrest that the
charges against the four black
students should be dropped.
To not do so would subject
the students to an arbitrary,
capricious, and unreasonable
breach of prior University
policy.
This is even more true now
since the students have been
tried and sentenced to
academic probation by the
controversial University
Judicial Council. They have
been tried by the University,
and the University is satisfied.
The state has not concerned
itself with judicial activities on
this campus before and should
therefore feel no need for
satisfaction in this case.
In making these
suggestions, we in no way
intend to castigate the
administration for its behavior.
But we do feel that a mistake
has been made and that this
mistake should be corrected.
If the administration wishes
action to be taken in state
courts as a result of certain
behavior, let the
administration state clearly
and precisely what behavior
will bring forth such action.
But do not depart from prior
University policy without a
clear and specific statement of
ecu forum
new policy.
To do so is to subject all
students to arbitrary,
whimsical, and unreasonable
rules.

Dear Editor:
I am writing in regards to
the letter of Dan Summers
which appeared in your paper.
There exists certain facts
which I feel, by their omission
in Summers' letter, have cast a
derogatory light on the M.R.C.
and in particular the M.R.C.
Elections Committee headed
by STeve Hall. These facts are
as follows.
Immediately following the
SGA Elections for Fall Quarter
of this school year, there was a
meeting in the Office of the
Dean of Men involving C.C.
Rowe (Asst. Dean of Men),
Summers, Hall, myself, and a
few other interested parties.
The purpose of this meeting
was to correct certain
problems which arose during
the fall quarter elections. The
crux of those problems was
the failure of the SGA
Elections Committee provide
advanced notice of a Run-off
Election so that the M.R.C.
Elections Committee could
establish polls on "the Hill"in
an efficient manner.
At the conclusion of this
meeting, a "Gentlemen's
PUTT-PUTT-PUTT-PUTT-PUTT-PUTT-PUTT-PUTT-PUTT
Agreement" was reached by
which Summers agreed to
provide advanced notice in all
future elections. On these
grounds the M.R.C. would
continue to provide assistance
to the SGA in their elections.
The meeting was adjourned
with all parties satisfied that a
"more workable relationship"
had been established.
During the Spring Quarter
Elections and "Dixie"
referendum which followed,
this agreement was honored by
Summers and, on these
grounds, the M.R.C. Elections
Committee provided fast and
efficient service on both the
establishment of polls and the
counting of ballots for the
SGA
Then on Monday night, in
my presence, Mr. Hall was
contacted by Summers at 8:30
p.m. and asked to establish
polls for the referendum the
following day.
This was the first
notification of any member of
the M.R.C. Elections
Committee that they would be
needed to work that
referendum. A clear violation
of our previous aqreement.
Hall called an emergency
meeting of his committee. At
this meeting, all members
voted, because of Summers'
violation of that agreement, to
not assist the SGA Elections
Committee. On the grounds of
our agreement, the M.R.C.
Elections Committee had a
clear and legal right to take
such action. Summers was s?
notified at 9 p.m.
I find it inconceivable that
Hall and the M.R.C. Elections
Committee be asked to accent
the responsibility f0r th
failings of the SGA Elections
Committee.
I suggest that Summers and
the new SGA Elections
Committee Chairman do a
little soul-searching at home
before they attempt to lay the
child of their irresponsibility
on the doorstep of the M.R c
again.

Dear Editor:
Recently, an increasing
emphasis has been placed on
the right of students
everywhere to voice their ideas
of truth and their opinions for
solving today's unrest.
Some have said that reality
and freedom are found in free
love or drugs. Others offer
scientific or intellectual or
economic theories as solutions
to various problems.
I believe that God hds the
answer to all human problems
and needs and that singular
solution is Jesus Christ.
If you are looking students
on campus who are dedicated
to Jesus, come by the Mall
Tuesday or Thursday at 5 30
p.m. You may find it the
surprise of your life.
