Religious Week
Committees Look
To Target Date
By JIM ROSWELL
Final plans are shaping up
for Religious Emphasis
Week, scheduled for April
17-21, as committees speed
up preparations for the
event. Committees are main-
Iv led by members of the
Campus Christian Associa
tion Cabinet.
An important part of the week
will be chapel services held every
morning. Patsy May is chairing
the committee in charge of the first
four morning chapels. She and her
committee are seeking to put be
fore the student body a truly dif
ferent series of services. Contem
porary “way-out” poetry and prose
will be used in attempting to
achieve the desired effect. Mem
bers of her committee include
Nancye Weddle, Patsy Hall, and
Jim Boswell.
In The Gym
Chapel services will be held in
the gym, the only building on camp
us large enough to accomodate
the entire studtent body. Because
of his services in this field last
year, Jerry Burton was called in
by the Cabinet to tackle the prob
lems of making the gym beauti
ful enough for meaningful 'wor
ship. In addition, he. wiU work with
Patsy May in providing worship
centers and effects which will tie
in with each morning’s separate
service.
Evening activities and programs
are under the general direction
of Jim Boswell. He is attempting
to bring together a series of
thought - provoking programs. His
large committee consists of many
members of the Stage and Script
organization, who are already prac
ticing one of the two presentations
in which they will figure. William
Harrison of the English Depart
ment has offered his service and
direction for another of the night’s
programs. He will be working
with members of the Stage and
Script.
Discussion Planned
All evening activities will be fol
lowed by discussions. Tommy Nor-
vell is assembling a group of stu
dent discussion leaders who will
be trained to take over when it’s
time for the buU - sessions.
Following each discussion ses
sion, the dining haU will be the
scene of a social period with en
tertainment and refreshments. Jan
et Blackwood is general director
of the social side of things. Linda
Griffin is helping with the refresh
ments and, Linda Morris in charge
of entertainment. Gwen Humph
rey will swing the mood back to a
final one of seriousness as she
strives to remind students, during
the closing fellowship circle, of the
day’s significance.
The Friday chapel is the only
non-cumpulsory chapel of Religious
Emphasis Week. Student interest
displayed on this day is indicative
of the success or failure of the
week. This final chapel is under
the supervision of Suzanne Goudy,
who is working with Richard Wil
liams, Dan Sasser, Warren White
hurst, and Mr. Lawrence Lugar.
The final chapel will attempt to
sum up the meaning and the mood
of the week in an observance of
the Lord’s Supper (communion)
for those who desire it.
Program Booklet
Nancy Roberson is working on
the program booklet which wUl
serve as a guide for students dur
ing the week. Art students under
RusseU Arnold’s supervision are
submitting designs for the cover.
Alton Lee is preparing final
plans to publicize the week, work
ing with Carol Colvard, Guy Miller,
Bill Waters, and Jim Boswell.

(EDITOR’S NOTE: During recent week’s
coMiderable discussion has been raised over the
Kohunk trophy. The following' article, reprinted
from the May 23, 1939, edition of The Collegiate
should go a long ,way in setting the record
straight. Members of a special committee, arm
ed with this information will make a recommen
dation to the Administrative Council soon re
garding the Bo-Hun-Kus trophy. Note the cor
rect spelling of the trophy’s name.)
There has been a lot of talk about the new
trophy which has taken its place among the
others in the trophy case in the library. It is
the new Bo-Hun-Kus Trophy, which is the sym
bol of the rivalry between ACC and ECTC. The
trophy was the brainstorm child of our own
sports editor, John Yavorski, and the sports
editor of the Tech Echo of ECTC, Jack Daniels.
When Jack was in Wilson for the ECTC-ACC
game on February 14th, he and John got togeth
er and decided that there should be a symbol of
the rivalry which exists between the tv^o schools.
So they decided on the Bo-Hun-Kus Bucket.
The bucket, which is now in the possession
of ACC is the property of the two publications
of the schools. The Collegiate and The Tech
Echo. When the bucket is won by either school
it is to be in charge of the sports department
of its respective paper. In either case the trophy
will be on display in the trophy case of the
school.
The regulations concerning possession of the
bucket are as follows: at the present the bucket
is in the possession of the Collegiate because
of the victory that the baseball team scored
against the Pirates. Next year the bucket will
be on display at each athletic contest and the
winning team will take the bucket. The pos
session of the bucket is not based on the number
of wins for each team in the season, but the
winning team in each contest takes the trophy.
The bucket itself is a common wooden bucket.
One side Is painted in the colors of the Pirates,
purple and gold, and the other is painted in the
colors of the Bulldogs, blue and white. On the
Pirate side there is painted a picture of a Pirate
and the Bulldog reigns on the blue and white
side. There are four sports listed on each side—
basketball, boxing, tennis and baseball. Under
each is painted the victories for the winning
team, the spore of the event and the year. At
present ECTC has three victories and one tie
to their credit, one in basketball, two in tennis,
and the tie is in baseball. The Bulldog side
lists four victories, one in basketball, two in
boxing, and one in baseball, and a tie in base-
ball.
The bucket will be in possession of the Bull
dogs until next year when it will be put on
display and awarded to the winner of the first
intercollegiate contest.
The Bo-Hun-Kus Trophy was originated to in
still an even greater feeling of rivalry between
the two schools than now exists. Its originators,
Mr. Jack Daniel of ECTC and Mr. John Yavor
ski of ACC hope that this purpose will be ful
filled and that in future years the bucket will
serve as a memory of that rivalry.
Collegiate Wins Honor
In Nation-Wide Contest
For the third straight year The
CoUegiate has received national
recognition by winning first place
in the coUege and university divi

Press Association newspaper con
test.
Judging was done on a 1,000-
point scoring system covering con
tent, makeup, headlines and aU
phases of publication procedures.
Ratings were divided into medal
ist, first, second, third and fourth
place categories.
How high on the point system
The Collegiate rated is not known
as yet. In the near future a check
list will be forwarded to the Col
lege indicating the total score and
offering suggestions as to how The
Collegiate, in the opinion of the
judges, may be improved.
Co-Elditors during the first se
mester of the current academic
year were Alton Lee Jr. and F.
Terrill Riley. When Riley com
pleted degree requirements at the
close of the first semester,'Lee be
came editor and appointed Patsy
May and Bob Stone as assistant
editors.
Atlantic Christian’s publication
was the only college or 'university
newspaper in North Carolina to
place in the top five categories. Al
though The Collegiate has gained
three first place awards, efforts
are continuing to improve the pa
per so that it may receive the high
est award offered —medalist.
William N. Harrison, assistant
professor in the Department of
English, and Edward E. Beeler,
director of publicity, are Collegi
ate consultants while G. Harry
Swain, chairman of the department
of business, is financial consultant.
Approximately 15 persons have
worked regularly on The Collegiate
during the current academic year.
“We are all very happy on The
Collegiate staff over the first place
award,” commented Lee. “How
ever, as soon as the critical ma
terial is forwarded to us we hope
to correct some of the mistakes
we’ve made,” the editor concluded
The Collegiate, published 25
times each school year, is printed

Amid Coke Bottles
Little Teen Monsters
Invade Hackney Hall
Teenagers from outer space in
vaded the campus recently but the
stalwart defenses at Hackney Hall
repelled the invasion in a swarm
of flying coke bottles, water
bombs, mild profanity, and a tele
phone call to the riot squad.
Shortly after midnight on March
8, the bobby-soxed hoods came to
earth just outside Olde Hackney
and promptly started filling the
air with the deadly venom of Old
Forester land romping on the seed
lings and grass.
One of the little monsters shook
his fist at the second floor rsi-
dents. ,
A Hackney man replied with
coke bottle to the cranium.
While scratching off in the^ p
model space ship, another Hack
ney hero scored a direct hit with a
king sized bottle.
The first wave had been re-
^ Then, back they came again. One
snorted a .22-calibre ray run and
another wielded a Mars-special
switchblade. „ . • a t
At this point. Captain A. J.
Hayes of the City of Wilson not
fearn whipped around the corner
with 300 reserves. The ray S™
confiscated, the teenagers from
outer space scattered, the peace
^^?.Yo^re a great bunch of gentle
men,” Captain Hayes said of the
Hackney heroes.
“T’weren’t nothin’,” they replied
in unison.

Nominations Due
For Exec Offices
By Petition Only
By GUY MILLER
Nominations for candi
dates of student body offices
for next year will have to be
made by petitions.
The Executive Board has
chosen not to make nomina
tions for student body offi
cers for the spring elections.
It will endorse students who
are petitioned for the var
ious positions and who meet
the requirements, but the
Board has voted not to make
nominations of its own.
It was felt this will give the
student body more of a chance
to determine who will compote
for the various offices and also
will open the door to freer nom
inations.
The Board pointed out the scope
of tbis decision pertains to general
officers of the Cooperative Asso
ciation and to head cheerleader,
It does not include class officers.
Nominations for COLLEGIATE and
PINE KNOT editors are made by
the Publications Committee; how
ever, the Board will endorse other
qualified people petitioned for
those positions.
Deadline Set
All petitions and nominations
must be submitted to the Executive
Board by 7:30 p.m. March 27.
Persons petitioned will be notified
by letter if approved by the Board.
Another item of business brought
before the Board at its meeting
on Monday night was the con
tinued absence of a report from
a committee studying the cafeteria
situation. This committee is com
posed of various members of the
administration. 'The Board voted
to request the committee to sub
mit its report as soon as possible.
It was reported the committee
is comparing the AC cafeteria
system with dining hall systems
of various schools and plans to
,make recommendations. The opin
ion was expressed the committe
has had ample time to submit its
report.
A minority of the Board question
ed the advisability of making such
a request from the committee and
wondered if the committee would
cooperate if pressured.
Bohunk Petition
In further business concerning
the Bohunk controversy, Jim Van
Camp gave a committee report
of a meeting with Dick Speight,
East Carolina student body presi
dent. Speight and Van Camp drew
up a resolution concerning the
handling of the Bohunk. It was to
the effect that at each regular sea
son game, the host student body
president be responsible for dis
playing the Bohunk during the con
test and that the host student body
president present it to the presi
dent of the winning team at the
end of the game.
The Board voted to recommend
the resolution to the Administrative
Council for its approval.
Representing AC at the North
State Student Government Confer
ence to be held this spring at Elon
College will be a delegation of six.
The delegation is planning to run
one of its number, Jim Van Camp
for president of North State Stu
dent Government Association. Con
sideration was given to Mike Bus
by and Van Camp as possible can
didates. Dave Mustian is current
president of the association.
Next week, the Executive Board
is planning to have a two-session
meeting at the chapel programs
on 'Tuesday and Thursday. Spon
sored by the Political Science Club,
the programs are designed to better
acquaint students with the Exe
cutive Board.
It was decided future Monday
