CHIDLEY HALL BRIEFS
By W. H. F. ANDERSON
Greetings from Chidley Hall.
Things over on this side of the
campus have really been boom
ing in the past few weeks. Three
floors in Chidley Hall have been
renovated with new wall
closets. No longer will one see
clothes hanging on doors, walls
or on sticks hanging from the
ceiling of the room. These
closets really give the room
more space and help the appear
ance considerably.
The “Calhoun . Project” has
finally taken shape. The south

Shirley Concert
Is Big Success
By GLORIA WHITEMAN
On March 6 the North Caro
lina College Lyceum Committee
presented the illustrious pianist
and composer, Don Shirley, in a
jazz concert in B. N. Duke Au
ditorium. Shirley was accompa
nied by Kenneth Fricker and
David Moore on bass.
Mr. Shirley featured his ar^
rangements of many well
known selections, including
“Autumn Leaves,” “Tenderly,”
and “The Man I Love.” Mr
Shirley possesses a unique style
incorporating the classical form
with the progressive jazz style;
his music has a smooth, sure
quality.
Throughout the program
there seemed to be an odd com
bination of Brubeck-Garner-
Gershwin-Shirley. Much of
Shirley’s music is impressionis
tic and descriptive. Especially
is this true of his arrangement
of “Sometimes I’m Happy”.
As an encore, Mr. Shirley
played a scintillating arrange
ment of “Sometimes I’m
Happy”.
JFollowing the jazz concert
Mr. Shirley was honored with
a reception in the Science Buil
ding, which was attended by
many of his admirers.
will be dedicated in Lee’s honor
on May 17 following the
Awards Day exercises. The ten
tative program includes re
marks from Dr. J. Neal Hugh-
ley, college minister, President
Elder, Coach L. T. Walker,
William H. F. Anderson and,
Roamless Hudson, president and
vice-president respectively of
the Men’s Dormitory Govern
ment.
A special feature of the pro
gram will be a “narrated tour”
of the pictures and awards on
display in the room. The tour
will be conducted by Dr. C. A.
Ray, Director of the News Bu
reau, and Mr. L. A. Merritt, his
assistant. Following the pro
gram will be a fellowship hour
in the Social Room.
In May the Men’s Dormitory
Government will sponsor a
lawn party for the residents of
Chidley Hall and their guests.
Mr. Connie Watson, chairman
for the event, recently said,
“The MDG welcomes any sug
gestions from the men students
as to how the lawn party should
be conducted.
As the school year comes to
a close, the MDG turns its at
tention to the election of offi
cers for 1957-58. Information
regarding the election of new
officers will be placed on the
bulletin boards in Chidley Hall
very soon. We hope that all per
sons who meet the requirements
for the MDG offices will seek
election.
Cagers Win, Lose In NCAA Rounds
NCC’s Cl A A visitation cham
pion Eagles made history by
participating for the first time
in the interracial NCAA basket
ball play-offs against the Moun
taineers of Mount St. Mary’s
College in Emmitburg, Mary
land, on March 9.
However, the Eagles went
down before the fast-breaking|
Maryland cagers 106-88 in their
bid for the national NCAA
small college championship.
The Eagles won the right to
represent the CIAA in the small
college NCAA play-offs by an
nexing the CIAA visitation
championship in regular season
and by knocking off the Rattlers
of Florida A&M University in
the first round of NCAA play
here in the NCC gym 78-61 on
March 5.
Jack Sullivan pumped in 48
points to break the Eagles’ back
in the Mt. St. Mark’s encounter,
thus giving the Mountaineers
their 19th straight win. For the
Eagles, Gil Riley hit for 27 mar
kers, Bell for 18 and Sad Sam
Jones and Chip Sligh garnered
10 a-piece.
The big difference in the
game was the ability of the
Mounties to hit from the floor.
They connected on an amazing
83.7 per cent of their attempts
in the first period.
In the game against FAMU,
Chip Sligh bucketed 10 of the
Eagles’ 14 points in the last two
and one-half minutes of play.
He had the game high, 21, for
the evening.
The NCC cagers fared poorly
in the CIAA dribble derby Mar.

seeded because of their top visi
tation standing, they were de
throned handily by the Virginia

Pem Upsets Gunners, 30-24
The PEM paced by the stellar
play of Hank Lewis defeated
the Gunners, 30-24, for the
Men’s Intramural Basketball
Championship on March 9 in
the Men’s Gym.
Hank Lewis, playing his best
game of the season, controlled
both backboards and sank 12
points for high point laurels.
The Gunners, favorite of this
scribe to walk *off with top
honors, were handicapped by
the illness of their playing man
ager, Hal Joyner, who entered
the infirmary after the first
night of play. He had been a
help to Duke Saunders all sea
son long in controlling the
backboards offensively and de
fensively.
It was the play of the PEM’s
guards, Charles Harris and Ar
nold “Red” Moyler, who were
able to drive in toward their
offensive goal to force the Gim-
ners to commit fouls.
The PEM’s reached the finals
by coming from behind to top
the Omegas, 26-18 and edge the
Crusaders on Pete Hayes’ last
second field goal in the semi
finals, 32-31.
Duke Saunders, the tourney’s
high scorer, paced his team to
wins over the All-Stars in the
opening round and the Spartans
in the semi finals. He had a to
tal of 32 points for the entire
tourney. The final game he
scored 10 points to pace the
Gunners in the scoring colvunn
and was followed by Chuck Ba
ron and A1 Montgomery with
eight and six respectively.
The PEM’s placed two players
on the All-Tournament team
and the Gunners placed one.
They were Lewis and Harris of
the PEM’s and Saunders of the
Gunners. To round out the quin
tet, there were Herman Ald
ridge of the Crusaders, who was
chosen the MVP of the tourney
and George Wallace of the
Spartans.
The Gunners had an unble
mished record of 12-0 before re
ceiving this set back in the fi
nals from the PEM’s.
Commissioner Bob Stephens
revealed to the press that he
was pleased with the way the
students patronized the tourney
and only wished that 'more
could have attended.
