TO CATCH A THIEF
A flagrant uprising of thievery has re
cently reared an ugly head on the campus
of Eloo. Books and notebooks have oiy-
steriously “walked” away from the book
racks in Alamance. Motiey and other para
phernalia have been and are continuing
to be missed in CaroUna and Virginia
Halls. Emphasis is placed upon the girl's
dormitory. It is time for something to
be done »boot this wretched situation.
There is nothing lower than a thief.
We have beard many complaints dur
ing the course of the school year. This
Is nometbinc that we just can't let slide.
When it gets so bad that one is uneasy
•o lay a newly purchased textbook or pack
of paper on tie bookstalls, then it is time
definHe action be taken. It is only fair
to state In all sincerity that certain peo
ple on this campus are suspected, and
If caught they should be convicted and
kicked out of college. IJEB.
MEMBER OE UIXERf
Here is a ••little word to the wise,”
alaied directly for those in the Student
Ooveranaent Association. We feel it is in
deed appropriate to a number of its of
ficers. Below i( listed fen ways to kill
any Association when you could or should
be an active participant:
1. Don’t come to the meetings.
2. If you do come, come late.
3. If the weather doesn't suit you, don’t
think of coming.
4 If you don't attend, find fault with
the work of the officers and other mem
bers.
5. Never accept an office, for it is eas
ier to criticize than do things.
6. Get sore if you are not appointed
on a committee, but if you are. don’t at
tend committee meetings.
7. If asked by tiie chairman to give your
opinion regarding some importi.nt mat
ter, tell him you have aotbing to say.
After the meeting tell everyone how things
ought to b« done.
8. Do nothing more than is absolutely
necessary, but when other members roll
up their sleeves and willingly and unsel
fishly use their ability to help matters
along, bowl that the association is run
by a clique.
9. If possible, get yourself on the nom
inating committee, so as to be the ‘'power
behind the throne.”
10. Don't bother about getting new mem
bers, let the other fellow do it. T.ru

Christmas is coming
And the goose is getting fat
Please Santa, put a carton of Winstons
In Square’s old mangy bat.
With the above bit of poetry (?) 1 scrit>-
ble off my last column for the year 19.56.
Since Christmas is so near at hand, what
could be more appropriate than discours
ing upon this seasonal subject? Saint Nich
olas' cherubic face can be seen in almost
any dtpartmenl store window. Wisps of
artificial snow cascade all over the Yule
decoration.s.
Dear Santa,
1 am writing you this letter In hopes
that you will bestjw the below mentioned
gifts on the Elon family. Arthur Pitts
informs me that he is desirous of a teddy
bear for Christmas. He already has the
name picked out for it — Foo Fool . . .
Vince Bujan relates to you his best wish
es, and he wants another hotel to go along
with his first. He calls that, one Hotel
Heartbreak. Soon he hopes to give Con
rad Hilton competition . -- , The Fighting
Cnirstian net s-wishers would like another
North State championship. See if you can
help them out . . . Charming Chuck Oakley
would like some lavender sheets to match
the medal he received in special cere
monies last week. Oakley, who covered the
old Ladies Hall beat, was the recent re
cipient of The Hoyal Order of the Purple
Lance . . . Dick Guite wants some aqua
viva to keep his eternal smile . . . Shirley
Sorrell would Hke two-way locks on all
the doors so that she can get out when
locked in . . . Wayne Taylor would like
a bigger pait than he played in “Moby
Dick.’’ Maybe you could work him in on
Edna Ferber’s film, “Giant” . . . Mike
Erlich (who is being schooled in the fine
arts of bummiog by the old master biin>
self, Walt Edmonds) would like some more
cookies arid milk ... Let all the seniors
who take the Graduate Record Exam on
January 19th pass with flying colors. Dit
to: Comprehensives . . . Bring the choir
a bigiger and better tour than they had
last year . . Professor John Foster West
i* coUecting donations iOr the Hungarian
National Council. Let all who will make a
contribution to this worthy endeavor to
benefit the courageous people of war-
torn Hungary . Bring Elvis the Pelvis
a voice so that be won’t bother us any
more . . . Hank Carmines says all he
wants for Christmas is his two front teeth
While I'm asking good ole Saint Nick
for all of these things, I might as well
Include myself. Santa please bring me
a 1957 Cadillac, for I’ll probably need it
U) make a fast getaway after ibcs* people
lead their names. Hurry!
C«oeer»inf The Baecaaeer*
East Carolina College and her ambitious
fcotball program has greatly lowered the
prestiige of college football in the North
State Conference. For a number of years
now the Pirates have tried desperately to
enter into the Southern Conference. This
year they met and were soundly trounced
by two Southern Conference aggregations.
One of these, VPI, ranked as a good team
in that conference's circle, but Ifee other,
the University of Richmond, was an also
run. VPI thrashed the Bucs to the tune
of 37-2 and the U of R ''edged'' them
out by 43-6. Yet we continue to hear
voices raised Down East way shouting “l.,et
us in the Southern Conference!” After
the beatings East Carolina took, you would
think that they had had enough.
Head football mentor Jack Boone had
this to say after the opening game loss
to the Gobblers of Tech. "Football at
East CaroUna is progressing about as fast
as possible, and we were not embarrassed
at aU over the first game.’' Now that the
«ea.son has been concluded, I wonder if
Jus face isn't tinged with just a little bit
of red. After all the Buccanecrs weren't
exactly a Lenoir Rhyne during the just-
concluded season, although one of the
■SQhool’s officials stated. “We have one of
the better teams we have had here in a
long time. I think the fans will see this
whe» we get into our conference games.”
. frabarrassing to go home
to Virgmia and be a.sked “What kind of
football teams do you have in the North
State Conference’” It is difficult to con
vince people that East Carolina is an also
ran that is tooting a mighty big horn, a
horn too big for them to carry. If the
Pirates can't win in their own conference,
how can they expect to be admitted to
higher classified conferences? Let them
clean up the good old North Stale Confer
ence before they attempt bigger under-
takings.
The> do have cnc oonsoUtion though,
they receivc a big "E” for Effort
