Both of them will be seniors this fall. Baker, who was converted from an end to a guard, has been a regular for the past two seasons, A prodvict of Farmville, N. C., he has been a bul wark in the center of the line. Morgan, who hails from Washing ton, N. C., is an all-around athlete. His steller play on the hardwood and gridiron is of All-American porportion. Morgan, an end on the football team, was also Co-Captain of the 1957 Pir ates basketball team. SPRING DRILL ENDS WITH FOOTBALL GAME The Pirates of Coach William “Bucky” Harris ended their spring football drills with a big football game between the Blues and Whites, Saturday night, March 23. The Blues, composed largely of veterans, scored first on a trap play up the middle. After faking a pitch- out to Buggs, quarterback, Hill hand ed to Branch who scampered 37 yards for the score. The Whites came back to knot the score on a similar run by Rodney Tucker from about 20 yards out. After taking a hand-off from Hill, Tucker broke away from one would-be tackier to score. The scoring play was set up on a 32-yard pass from Hill to Bobby Carr. The winning T.D., a quarterback sneak by Hill from the yards out, was set up by sweeping end runs by Buggs and Branch. Blocking on both teams w'as good. Baker, Gordan, Purvis, Matthews, Strayhorne, and Smallwood gave the backs plenty of running room. Back, A1 Wright’s terrific drive and power were noticed along with the speed of Joe Buggs, and Rodney Tucker. STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE ADMITTED INTO CENTRAL INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETIC association The Ehzabeth City State Teachers College Pirates are now members of the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association. The Pirates were admitt ed during the meeting of the Associa tion in Washington, D. C., March 28-29. This ended a two-year quest by the Pirates. The C I A A is composed of all of tlie larger schools in this section. The Pirates were able to get into the CIAA upon the withdrawal of West Virginia State. There are seventeen other schools in the , C I A A. intramural softball teams organized Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, Senior Classes and Team of City Students To Play The boys intramural league will be composed of teams from the freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior classes. There will also be a team comi^osed of students from the city. Games will be played each week day after dinner. On Satiirdays, if possible, two games will be played. HILL DEFEATS GIST IN FINALS OF INTRAMURAL BASKETBALL Orlando Hill’s team defeated Willie Gists’ 22-16 in the finals of the intar- fural basketball championship Mon day night, March 25, in the College Gym. Gist reached the finals by defeating Branch’s team, and Hill reached tire finals by stopping Brown’s team. P>ed Brown’s team defeated Dick Branch’s team 40-3.5 to take constella tion honors. SPORTSTALK The admittance of the Pirates into tlie CIAA will mean that the teams and players will have more honors to strive for. The league is not as strong as in the past years and the Pirates should make a reputable showing. The football team at present is not as well equipped as the basketball team. The basketball team loses only one player, and most of the veterans have played three years together. The first eight teams are eligible for the CIAA tournament, and it seems that the Pirates will make the first division. In football the Pirates wSl be facing stiff opposition this fall. Spring drills showed that they have some great potentialities. I venture to say that they will have a much better record than that of last year.

EDITORS (Continued from page 1) are also used. Dr. Earl T, Robacker, Chairman of English Department, White Plains High School, discussed “Layouts of Current Student Newspapers of Teach ers Colleges in a meeting held in the Casa Italiana on Friday morning. A- mong the important topics emphasized by the speaker were the balancing of pictures and editorials, styles of print, and good news selection. The Annual Luncheon was held in John Jay Hall Mezzanine 12 - 2 P. M. Barbara A. Browne, Director of in formation, Lowell Technological In stitute, Lowell, Massachusetts, put the final touch on the meeting through her scholarly lecture lafter the lunch eon. She criticized and commented on the twenty school papers sent her in February. After the luncheon. Dr. Joseph M, Murphy, Director, C. S. P. A., gave a lecture on “The Role of the Adviser”. Dr. Murphy said that the role would vary according to the situation, and there are no specific duties of the ad viser; but rather the adviser would have to adjust to the field of oper ation of the particular school. He spoke of certain assumptions vvdth regard to the publication—that it is the house organ of the school; that it would be written, supported, and staffed by tlie students, and must be interpreted accordingly. An informal session was then held in which students were allowed to evaluate the convention. Some stu dents felt that there should be first, second and third place ratings for the newspapers of various schools. Others felt that there should be no ratings, but all papers should be criticized, and suggestions offered for their improve ment. In spite of different opinions on this and many other problems, every-one seemed to think that the convention was advantageous. The election of 1958 officers and executive members was held in the Waldorf-Astora Hotel, Assembly Suuite, 10:00 Saturday morning, March 16. The executive members were chosen on the basis of states represented and experience with school papers. James Leathers was chosen as N. C. rep resentative and was assigned the re sponsibility of motovating colleges in his area to attend the next convention. At the Annual Dinner held in the Grand Ballroom of the Waldorf Astora. Averill Harriman, Governor of New York, was guest speaker. He extended welcome and congratulated the future editors. An important statement made about New York was its plan to init iate an “Open House Project,” which would allow people to visit all govern mental institutions of the state and ask questions concerning the various phases of govermnent. This was in stituted to promote a higher percent age of voters in New York. At 12:45 P.M. approximately 5,000 persons were dining in the Grand Ballroom of the Waldorf Astoria. SUPPORT YOUR CANCER DRIVE EMPHASIS (Continued from page 1) must make up in our minds that we are going to do the best and be the best, which is, most of the times, hard er and more worth while than tlie easy things in life. However, if we choose the triumphant life, we must forget the price or reward and make the payoff secondary and the service primary. A most inspiring message was de livered to us on Wednesday concern ing “Prayer”. The fact that many peo ple have not learned that prayer is a vital constituent in one’s life, was related by Reverend Jackson. He stat ed that he thought a person would be weak without prayer. The meaning of prayer was explain ed beautifully, in that it was said that prayer is a fellowship, or communion, or a heart-to-heart talk with God. He cited the fact that we cannot learn to pray if we pray only when the pres sure is on; we must do it daily. Rev erend Jackson infonned us that God is always willing to help us; more over He needs something with which to work, and that something which He wants is us. “Naughty But Nice” brought much interest to its listeners on Thursday. Reverend Jackson illustrated to us how people are trying to be naughty and yet nice. The fact, that man’s greatest desire is to be better than he really is, was expressed. “Everyone around us seems to be trying to do right, but the forces around us make us want to be naughty and yet nice.” “All struggles of life will go on un til we have had some conversion with God.” The addresser informed us that he could not tell us how to be naughty and still be nice, but that there is a God who can help us overcome this desire and show us to victory. The final speech during the series of assembly programs was centered around “Victory Against Great Odds”. Our speaker called to our attention that we will soon be going out to teach, and we will have a battle to fight. In the battle of life, we may not have all the equipment we need, but we must fight with that which we have. Even in the most trying sit uations, we can win, if we ask God to help us. “We can be victorious when the odds are against us.” BOOK HAZARD A serious problem has grown out of the losing and damaging of library books. Students continually take books from the library and do not return them on time. On the other hand, many books are returned with their covers removed and pages missing. Should this hazard continue, there will be a tremendous shortage of books in our library. Books are placed in the hbrary for the use of many, but when egocentric people go to the library and take books out without returning tliem, they not only do their fellow students injustice, but cause extra hours of work for the library personnel. Should we eliminate this fault, our library will be a better place to work.
