Serving as captain for the

of Women, Miss Annie L. Mor-
ton and her staff as lieutenants.
Every room was canvassed by
students in the various dormi
tories.

Americans who complain of
war discomforts can expect no
sympathy.
The proposed constitution o?
the Student Cooperative Gov-
ernment Association, w h i c h
passed the School Council
March 24 with a few minor
changes, will be presented to
student body in mass meeting
this Wednesday for action.
When it has been ratified, ar-
rangements for an immediate
General Election to fill the ma-
jor campus offices will be an-
nounced.
In the proposed constitution
provision is made for a joint
student government association
I that will bring the men and
w men together in a general or-
j ganization. as is the case in most
I co-educational institutions, with
a separate organization for
i each set up under that to take
; care of problems of each par-
$-
ticular group.
Its major body will be an
executive and legislative group,
the Student Cooperative Coun-
cil, composed of approximately
fifty members and four advis-
ers, whose chief woik will be the
planning of a definite program
of construction activities for
the student body. Under its
leadership all student activities
will be coordinated in such a
way that each one will be a pan
of the general program.
The Men's Judiciary and the
Women's Judiciary, working in
cooperation with the House
Committees and Day-Student
Committees, will form the judi-
cial branch of the government,
and so will handle disciplinary
problems and routine matters
affecting the various dormi-
tories and day-student groups.
Members of the Constitution Committee: Bessie Fay Hunt, chairman; Joyce Dunham,
Virgil Ward, Estelle Davis, Evan Griffin, and Carlyle Cox. Not pictured: Willie Mae Daniels and
J. C. Shepherd. Jennings Ballard worked with the committee until he entered the Navy.
The Student Legislative Mass
Meeting, of which all students
enrolled in the college automa-
tically become members, will
share the legislative powers
with the Council.
A special feature of the new
organization is that every stu-
dent activity becomes an inte-
gral part of the Student Co-
operative Government Associa-
tion.
The Constitution Committee
states that in spite of the fact
that its work falls for short of
its hope, it believes that it is of-
fering to the student body a
"more democratic form of stu-
dent government, in which many
students will have the opportun-
ity of taking part and in which
there is definite emphasis upon
individual and group responsi-
bility as college citizens. The
committee is composed of Bessie
Fay Hunt, chairman, Carlyle
C6x, Jennings Ballard, J. C.
Shepherd, Joyce Dunham, Vir-
gil Ward, Willie Mae Daniels,
Estelle Davis and Evan Grif-
fin, ex-officio members.

Constitution Is Fine
Piece Of Work
AlUr many hours of hard work the
Constitution Committee is bringing- to the
student body the extent of their effors. This
new organization is something we can and
will be proud to be a part of. Each of us is
deeply indebted to this group who has so
willing given their time to the betterment of
our governmental system on the campus.
This constitution is worked out in detail and
warrents careful study. When it is present-
ed at mass meeting everyone will have a
chance to ask any questions and have any-
thing they do not understand cleared up.
Our hats are off to you, Bessie Fay Hunt,
for your splendid work as chairman of the
committee, and to the entire committee. You
have certainly done your part well, here is
to the student body doing as much.
structive plan of government.

March 31, 1943
Dear Miss. Hunt:
The constitution which your committee
submitted to the School Council on Wednes-
dav, March 24, and which will soon be pre-
sented to the student body, shows the result
of many hours of work.
Since the constitution makes provision
for a larger number of students to activity
participate in their p nernment, I trust we
will have a better mormed. a more under-
standing and a more cooperative student
body.
I pledge my support and that of my
staff to any movement which fosters better
citizenship here on the campus, and in the
linger communities in which our students
may live or work.
Sincerely yours,
Ayivle L. Morton.

iscussion
The new Student Cooperative Govern-
ment Association is superior in many re-
spects to the former Student Government
Association. It affords a broader student
participation in governmental affairs. It is
more thoroughly democratic. It provides for
a more constructive student participation in
college life. It better coordinates and unifies
college activities. It more clearly defines the
functions of student government: It com-
prehends the student body in its entirety.
The students are to be congratulated for
having conceived and developed such a con-
I'm in favor of this new movement be-
cause it's, something that should have been
installed long ago. I hope it will stimulate
some school spirit.
�Billy Greene.
The new constitution can be hours of
work thrown awav if the students of East
Carolina Teachers College do not stand be-
hind, defending, cooperating, and encourag-
ing, as it unfolds itself upon this campus.
Let us unite ourselves so closely with this
new governing set up that we become a dis-
tinct part of it, any we reveal our love and
confidence by displaying a spirit that could
never die.
�Estelle Davis.
Camp Davis Rabbi
Assembly Speaker
That Judaism, along with 'the Christian
religion, has had a great influence on the
baste ideas in democracy was the theme of
Chaplain Ralph H. Blumenthal of Camp
Davis in a speech at the Assembly Mai eh 25.
Chaplain Blumenthal, a graduate oi the
i University of Cincinnati and Hebrew Union
College, had been invited to speak on the
contribution of the Jews to American
democracy.
After saving that many Jews in Amer-
ican history who made contributions m vari-
ous ways had done so. not as Jews, but as
Americans, the speaker suggested that he
limit his discussion to the effect ol Judaism
on democracy.
American democracy, he said, is not
something that sprang into being, but is the
product of a long difficult struggle that goes
far back into history.
He then traced the appearance and de-
velopment of the ideas of liberty, equality,
and fraternity among the Jews in their
wanderings in the wilderness and recalled
stories of the kings of Israel rebuked by the
prophets for violating the right of the in-
dividual at a time when in other nations
kings were working thousand of slaves to
death for their own selfish pleasure.
Democracy was guarded, he said, not
only by the prophets, but by the "constitu-
tion of the land the Bible, in which the
rights of the monarch were definitely
curbed.
Thu Judaism has made its greatest
contribution to democracy by the teachings
lof its "constitution
Chaplain Blumenthal closed with a hope
1 that this generation may not have to pay too

great a price to preserve its heritage
"Let us put forth every effort now, to
save it while it can be saved he urged.
In the afternoon Chaplain Blumenthal
spoke again, at the invitation of the YWCA
and YMCA, discussing this time "Current
Philosophies of Jewish Life
He was introduced at assembly by Miss
Louise Williams, chairman of the Chapel
Committee; and in the afternoon by Mi-
Helen stone, newly elected president of the
YWCA.
