It Is Your Privilege And Duty To Vote
Soon members of the student body will march to the polls and
usher in office the major campus leaders for the coming- school
rear. In the past there has been an apparent lack of interest in
the student balloting. Will this be the story again for the forth-
coming elections? As members of a democratic sudent body�of
the students, for the students, and by the students�you should
take seriously the matter of electing those who will serve vou in
the new year that lies ahead. Often criticism of those in'office
prevails. Under the surface one can find the cause of the criticism
in the' election that preceded the administration of the student in
question. Xo election should be a popularity contest. Ask your-
self, "What type of service will the person I vote for give? Does
he have the qualifications that make him adept to the duties that
he will have to assume? Is he the kind of person who can shoulder
responsibility adequately?" These and other questions should be
kept in mind at all times in considering the candidates. Too often
students who do not vote are the first to howl when a student
officer falls down the job. If you don't vote, blame no one but
yourself if a certain officer isn't up to par. It is your election.
Those whom you elect will be expected to fill their position to meet
with your expectations. When a person is elected by a minority,
considering the entire student body, to represent a majority, then
it stands to reason that he might have deficiencies. Let's turn out
at the polls on election day and roll up the biggest vote for all the
offices in the history of the school. The few minutes that are re-
quired in voting will not be a sacrifice of your time, but a con-
tribution to better leadership on the campus of East Carolina
Teachers College. Decide on the candidate you want to serve you
and vote your convictions.
Germany occupied Bulgaria last Saturday�the eleventh
sovereign state she has over-run since 1938. Bulgaria capitulated
by signing the Axis tripartite pact after a three-months diploma-
tice offensive by the Nazis. German mechanized forces sped across
the newly conquered land to reach frontier positions from which
they could enforce Adolf Hitler's peace ultimatum that is reported
to have been served on the Greeks. The Fuherer supposedly warned
the Greeks that unless they submit to peace with Italy within a
few days, they will "suffer the consequences
An authoritative observer has said that the highest Greek
diplomatic sources declare that Greece does not intend to agree
to peace of surrender but will fight all comers.
Other German forces moved swiftly across eastern Bulgaria
toward the frontier with Turkey, already fortified heavily on
both sides.
Turkey was calm as the German army swarmed into Bul-
garia. Authoritative sources said Turkey had taken "full defense
precautions but official sources remained silent on the question
of mobilization. The Turkish navy has mined the vital waters of
the Dardanelles straits.
German political quarters stated that the German move coun-
tered British intentions to extend the war and protects Bulgarian
interests.
Russia is reported by diplomats to be moving toward "im-
proved relations" with Great Britain and support of Turkey, which
might even lead to Soviet armed resistance if the Turks resist
Germany's eastward push across the Balkans.
The R. A. F. continues it steady pounding of the Nazi in-
vasion ports on the Channel and strategic German cities. The na-
val base at Wilhelmshaven and the Rhine city of Cologne railway
targets and oil installations in the industrial Ruhr valley, at Rot-
terdam. The Netherlands, and the "invasion port" of Boulo-
gne, France have also suffered heavily from British bombs.
Judging 4'rom reports reaching America it seems that the
touted Luftwaffe's raids on England are either becoming com-
mon-place or they are losing their former intensity.
In Africa British forces are closing in on Italian forces mak-
ing a strong stand at Cheren, Italian Eritred. and are making
i progress in operations in Ethiopia, where the native followers of
jllaile Selassie are cooperating in harassing the Italians.
With Mogadiscio, capital of Italian Somliland, and the city
of Bardere in British hands, the British continue mopping up
operations in that colony.

Taffeta linings in jackets and

very much liked dressy coat is

In Memorium
The death of the late James R. Gulledge. librarian of East
Carolina Teachers College, came as a shock to both facultv and
students. Like many other persons, Mr. Gulledge worked diligent-
ly in his chosen field of endeavor and his work kept him out of
the public eye. We never knew him intimately, but observed the
influences thai his enviable personality
well with others brought about among his
sever years he was associated with the college his principal aim
was fostering the growth of the library. His efforts produced re-
markable result. Anyone who knew him will remember him
always. He put the best that he had into life with the view that
the best would come back to the students�and it did.

Do You Have The Reading Habit?
Through the ages the person who reads as much as possible
has kept abreast of the times, improved his ability to speak flu-
ently, added to his knowledge, and made of himself a better in-
dividual. Today there are many activities that tend to occupv our
spare time and keep us from acquiring the reading habit. It isn't
hard to do if you read the right kind of literature.Yet. some people
never get around to reading the good nor the bad. Soon the modes
of recreation they once knew are present onlv in their memories,
and they wonder what they can do to pass the time away Often
they encourage themselves to read and find it most enjovable.
Others merely sit back and live in an obsolete past. They fail to
realize that all the transitions of the universe todav are being
converted to the printed page. When thev engage in a conversation
from reading, particularly good literature, are the most ex-
pensive benefits available to the average citizen of the United
States today. Do you have the reading habit?
Winter Is Going And Spring Is Coming
Tofav tne air isn't as crisp as it was several weeks ago. The
chill of winter gradually is being absorbed bv the balmy breezes
of Spring. Soon winter buds on the trees will be transformed to
sprays of beautiful and fragrant blossoms. The purple violet will
lift itself above the faded leaves that blanket the ground. Birds
will be expressing in a melodious manner appreciation for
their environment. All the grass and trees will acquire a deep
green color. Yes. all this awaits us. Everything comes to life again
in the Spring, including the editor.
Jobs For Youth
Out of Dallas. Texas, comes a worthwhile idea that deserves
national emulation. The manager of a Dallas chain store read an
frticle in Reader's Digest which dealt with a survev indicating
that three out of four high school seniors did not plan'to go to col-
lege, but expected, instead, to look for jobs. He suggested to other
chain store managers that each of them spend an hour a week
talking with boys and girls in search of work.
The managers agreed. Local school authorities eagerlv co-
operated. A hundred Dallas young people called on the chain'store
managers the first week, and hundreds more have followed.
Parents and teachers have soundly praised this forward-looking
program.
