Eileen Farrell Will
Give Concert Here
Eileen Farrell, brilliant young star
of CBS, will appear in the Wright
Auditorium at 8:80 p. m. on the night
of January 13.
Miss Farrell, who has risen to
fame within the last few years, has
been acclaimed by critics as "one of
the most promising young artists to
have come along in a many a day
Her voice, that of a dramatic soprano,
has been praised by Robert C. Bagar
as "big and lustrous . . . the Kirsten
Flagstadt, Helen Traubel type of

Miss Farrell made her debut over
CBS several years ago as a guest
over a symphonic program conducted
by Howard Barlow. On that occasion ,
she sang the extremely difficult
"Liebstodt" from Tristan und Isolde.
From that day on she has risen to i
the fame she now enjoys.
Last year she appeared over three I
weekly CBS broadcasts, but dropped
them this year to concentrate on one !
program a week and her concert ap-
pearances. Miss Farrell has been in- j
formed by the management of the
Metropolitan Opera House, peer of all!

she is free they would like for her to
join their list of artists. I

The TECO ECHO
To Cut or Not To Cut
Let's Get It Settled!
A' nonces from classes have long been a
bone t contention at East Carolina Teachers
college. Two years ago students were allowed
a straight total of eight cuts with no
strings attached. This method proved un-
satisfactory because of the excessive num-
ber of absences from classes, and the stu-
dents themselves took action to remedy the
situation in the spring of 1942.
It was through action by the student
h uy that all absences from classes, except
tlist' with special excuses, were made
"d uble" cuts. �'� counted as two of the al-
lowed eight absences. This left the college
v ith its present inconsistent system, which
in name gives tight cuts during the quarter,
but which in actuality allows four absences.
nd even this system has proved un-
satisfactory in that there have been many
t 0 many absences from classes. The fac-
ulty has now taken action on the matter, and
a committee has been appointed to recom-
mend a better system. Various suggestions
have been made as to a solution to the prob-
lem of absences. One faculty member has
suggested unlimited cuts, maintaining that
the teachers would then make the courses
hard enough so that cuts would be imprac-
tical ile. This is generally considered as too
much of an extreme. In other colleges such
methods as reducing the number of hours of
credit given and lowering the grade for the
irse are used. Both of these systems are
extremist and fa.il to follow sound reasoning.
Some colleges, such as Duke university, al-
1 ��� unlimited cuts for students making the
r Dean- list in scholastic aver-
ages. This, too, is improbable for East Car-
olina, which has no such list.
It is not known as yet what the faculty
committee will recommend, but it seems
likely that they will suggest allowing three
unconditional cuts each quarter and a limit-
ed number of excused cuts�the require-
ments for an excused absence being made
more' stringent than in the past. Unless a
tter system is proposed, this seems to be
the most practicable solution to the East
Carolina problem.
Claudia Marks New
Milestone for Chi Pi
With the successful presentation of
Rose Franken's Claudia on Friday and Sat-
urday evenings, the Chi Pi players marked
the beginning of their seventh year as an
essential part of East Carolina Teachers
i :e. Since being1 founded on the campus
in the spring of 1937 by Clifton Britton and
John David Bridgers, the Chi Pi group has
brought widespread recognition to itself and
to the college.
Almost every major performance of
any type on the campus in the past seven
years lias been either produced by the Chi
Pi players or aided by members of the group.
Perhaps the peak was reached two years ago
when a Chi Pi play, directed by Clifton Brit-
ton. won a state championship. Last year the
group was largely responsible fcr the great
success of the opera Martha
And now the success of Claudia marks
an ther milestone in the prograss of the Chi
Pi players. Myriads of efforts go into each
Chi Pi drama, and Claudia has been no ex-
ception. In addition to endiess rehearsals
for several weeks, many hours have been put
in by the back stage crews. All of the stu-
dents owe a vote of congratulations and
thanks to the Chi Pi players.

'War Is Hell7 Note:
Army Gets Sherman
"War is hell"�so said Sherman. The
staff of the TECO ECHO becomes the latest ex-
ponent of this maxim. Another Sherman
has gone to war. This may be bad for the
enemies of democracy, but it is more immedi-
ately bad for the TE( 0 ECHO and in the long
run for the college.
Most students have inner met Sherman
M. Parks, and probably only a few have no-
ticed his name in the masthead of the Teco
Echo as "technical adviser Sherman has
printed the college newspaper and served in
an advisory capacity to the staffs for five
years. He has been largely responsible for
the paper's achieving the success it has in
the journalistic field. Last Wednesday
Sherman was inducted into the army of the
United States at the Fort Bragg induction
center. As a result of this the Renfrew-
Printing company, which prints the paper
and Pieces 0' Eight, might liquidate. This
would create for the staffs and for the stu-
dent body as a whole the problem of finding
a means of printing these publications. But
before attempting to solve this problem, the
college should join the staffs in extending a
note of thanks and best wishes to Sherman
Parks.
Now Is The Time
To Start Collecting
One prime requisite of any teacher is a
personal library. The prospective teacher
should have his library well begun by the
time he has finished his four-year college
course.
Facilities for obtaining books of any
type are negligible on the East Carolina
campus. In some cases students may obtain
books no longer being used in classes from
the book room. Although books of this type
are usually text books and not too attractive
to the student, tiny are in many cases valu-
able additions to a personal library. This is
especially true in such fields as science,
home economics and mathematics.
Another source of books on the campus
is the stationery store which vends a limit-
ed number of reprints of books at prices
which students can afford. This source can
be much improved if the stationery store
will procure reprints and cheap copies of the
classics and other books valuable to a
teacher's library.
Since students in this college are not re-
quired to furnish their own books, they lose
a valuable incentive to beginning a personal
library. Teachers on the campus could help
remedy this situation, perhaps, by offering
for sale to the students at reduced prices any
old copies or duplicate copies of good books
which they may have. In a number of cases
East Carolina faculty members have books
which serve only to overstock their own li-
brary shelves and which in many cases
might be valuable to students just beginning
libraries.
At any rate, students interested in hav-
ing personal libraries (and this should be all
students, especially those planning to teach)
should begin now to investigate possibilties
of procuring desirable books.
infirmary. For more extensive surgical care
students are sent to the local hospital. For
eye, ear, nose and throat care and for dental
care students are referred to specialists.
The health service does not at this time have
an X-ray or metabolism machine and labora-
tory facilities are limited.
For sudden acute illness or for acci-
dents the student may call for service at any
time and the nurse in charge, at her discre-
tion, will call the college physician.
The health service proxides no medical
service to students in private homes d rmi
tories or at any place, except in the college
infirmary.

How it works:
Your college health service is organized
in two divisions�the clinic and the in-
firmary.
The clinic provides two definite periods
daily when the college physician and a nurse
are at the health service and are available

With The Armed Forces
by Rosalie Brown
For our last issue before the holidays,
we have news from several of our bo-s.
some of whom we have not heard from be-
fore. First is Staff Sgt. James W. Joyner,
His letter was slightly cut up by the time
it reached his alma mater, but one gets
used to such things when the boys get over
anxious to write an interesting letter. In
this case, it was a matter of telling us where
he is stationed. All we know is he is some-
where outside of the continental limits of
the U. S. A. But that covers a lot of
territory. James says he is Uncle Sam's
number one "goldbrick" when the college
papers reach him, until he has finished read-
ing it from cover to cover. He writes.
"I am stationed in a (an dthen the censor's
scissors went to work) wilderness
and have been here for the past thirteen
months. We have a USO show occasionally
so at least we see a white woman once in a
while. (That makes a big difference� be
stationed at the Naval Magazine. Port Chi-
cago. Calif. He says the duty is strenuous
but interesting. "The activities are of a con-
fidential nature and there is a good chance I
will move closer to Tokyo as the big eastern
push progresses writes the Coach. The
coach is interested in knowing where ali
"his boys" are and guesses that they are
scattered all over the world which is about
right. He wants addresses, so if you will
watch this column from time to time you will
be receiving them. "Coach Here is wish-
ing you a speedy trip to Tokyo where you
can use some of those offensives you taught
our undefeated football team year before
last, and and even speedier return home and
to ECTC. Address: Lt. (j.g.) J. B. Chris-
tenbury, 840 Berrillessa St Mortines, Cal.

Jim White and Carl Whitehurst are
bunk mates up at Fort Eustis. Va. Jim
writes that he misses school this year, but
his work is right in line with his commerce
major while here. He is secretary to a psy-
chiatrist, "and the work never fails to be in-
teresting He confesses that now he wishes
he has taken more interest in those psy-
chology courses under Doctor Adams. Ad-

army air forces pre-flight school for pilots
at Maxwell Field. AlabamaWalter
Mallard received his wings and commission
in the AAF this month and was a recent
visitor to the campus. Friends were glad
to see him back, and looking hale and hearty
in his uniform. . . . First Lt Dave Breece

Charles Cushman is in pilot training in
advanced school and is scheduled to finish in
a few weeks. "Oh happy day! I'm having a
special pair of silver wings made, three feet
wide and lit up with neon lights, to wear
when I get my leave. That's how proud I'll
be of them he writes. "Cush" wanted to
know who is taking care of his favorite bush
just before you get to gate No. 1. That was
his "parlor" while he was here and he hopes
it isn't being neglected. Our best wishes go
