Bring The Boys Home
By Buying" War Bonds
Wasn't it wonderful�that Thanks-
giving dinner! The turkey a golden brown,
fragrant and tempting, the steaming rice
covered with rich giblet gravy, the sweet
potato souffle topped with marshmallows
delicately browned, the fresh string beans,
the celery and olives and salted nuts, the hot
buttered rolls, the mincemeat pie, and that
satisfying cup of coffee�ah, such a meal
would tempt the gods.
The distinct pleasure of eating leisure-
ly with your family, cracking the same corny
jokes and exchanging a few new ones, rela-
ting the experiences of the past weeks, giv-
ing encouragement and receiving it. feeling
a bond of understanding between all the
members of the family group�these things
are worth fighting for.
Speaking of fighting. I wonder how the
boys "over there" fared during the holidays.
"K" rations are a poor substitute for turkey
and dressing. Many of our boys spent the
day in fox holes, others crept cautiously
through sultry jungles in search of Jap
snipers, some dodged German bullets
watched their buddies fall beside them,
quiet dinner for these boys. Hitler
Tojo have seen to that.
No. we at home haven't experienced the
agony and self-sacrifice experienced daily
by the boys over there. But we can do a lot
to help bring them home sooner and so re
lieve them of the hell through which they
are going. We can do this by giving our
whole-hearted support to the SIXTH WAR
LOAN drive which is now under way. This
is our duty. The boys over there aren't
shirking. Can we?

Higri Degree Of Honesty
Exists Among Students
Upon inquiring into the activities of
the Lost and Found bureau of the college, it
was learned from Prof. R.C. Deal, director
of the bureau, that there exists a very high
degree of honesty among the students.
While outlining the work of the bureau.
Prof. Deal emphasized the fact that since
the founding of the Lost and Found bureau
some years ago he has never known any stu-
dent to claim articles not belonging to him.
Though there is every opportunity for a
person to claim articles belonging to others,
there has been no evidence of such happen-
ing.
This is as it should be. and it is very
gratifying to observe this fine record. Such
conduct is essential to an honor system�an
honor system which should, and probably
does, exist throughout the college.
Laurels go to Prof. Deal, who has been
so successful in getting lost-and-found
articles returned to their owners.

Play Night Profits To Aid
World Student Service Fund
Next Friday night the two "Y's" are
sponsoring Play Night to raise money for
the World Student Service Fund drive.
The profits from Play Night will be
used to help students the world over to con-
tinue their education. The WSSF provides
books and supplies for students and equip-
ment for schools that are not supported by
Church or State as here in the United
States.
Rather than ask for outright contribu-
tions from the student body, the "Y's" are
providing a night of good entertainment for
a very small charge. The carnival being
planned will offer dancing and a variety of
games and other entertainments.
Play Night offers an opportunity to kill
two birds with one stone�first by having
an evening full of fun and at the same time
making our contribution to the World Stu-
dent Service Fund.

Oh! Oh! Hold on to your eye teeth
everybody! Here comes Aggressive Aggie,
lil' gal who packs such a wallop!
Aggie is always ready to greet you with
a hearty slap on the back which 1 oosens
every tooth in your head and sends you rock-
ing back on your heels. Wherever Aggie is,
there you'll find confusion and plenty of
bruised limbs. Let her in your room, and
she's like a bull in a china shop, breaking
glasses, burning holes in your best spread
with her cigarette ashes, and smearing lip-
stick on the cherished picture of your "dear-
ly beloved
After a few encounters with human
tornado, the other girls get wise to Aggie's
carelessness with other people's property�
to say nothing of their physical well-ebing.
They manage to steer clear of her presence
in the halls and are always "just leaving"
when she comes to their rooms.
This coolness on the part of the other
girls finally dawns on Aggie and she finds
herself all alone and lonely with nary a soul
to lend a sympathetic ear to her tale of woe.
She begins to find fault with the college,
with the teachers, and with her former
friends. She wanders dejectedly how come
the sudden brush-off.
Well, Aggie, if you really want to knew,
just bend close and we'll whisper into the
fuzz over your good ear. The fault lies not
in the school, nor the faculty, nor your
friends�it lies in you. By failing to be
thoughtful you have broken the basic rule of
etiquette. Look around you and see if the
most popular girls aren't the girls who are
thoughtful and considerate of others. Take
a tip from these girls, Aggie, and you won't
go lacking for friends.

Austin Stage To Be Scene
Of Weird, Fascinating Drama
Tonight, the stage of Austin audi-
torium will be convened into the
eerie stage of the St. James Theatre
in oriion This spine-tickler, "A
Murder Ha Been Arranged by the
ingenious Kmlyn Williams, has one of
the most intriguing plots of any play
ever produced on the ECTC stage.
A Sir Charles Jasper was to give
a dinnei on the stage for the mem-
ber of his family, in observance of s
weird anniversary. Then, after the
clock hail struck eleven, Sir Charles
was to inherit the tidy figure of two
million pounds.
It seems that many years ago a man
was slain in the theatre; a dumb girl
had appeared and the ghost of the
murdered man had drifted onto the
stage after the numb girl's death, so
that the murderer was revealed. This,
; accordinc to the prophecy, was to be
repeated if anyone else were mur-
Idered on the site of the first murder.
A most important part in the
1 scheme of thing- ivas that Maurice
Mullins, only near relative of Sir
Charles's death prior to eleven o'clock
on the night on which the play takes
place.
Unseen forces perform ghastly
acts before the eyes of the audience.
Horror plays havoc in the vast closed
theatre and the outlookers, like the
victims, are locked within to await
the inevitable. Telephone wires are
cut and all connections with the out-
side world are lost. Outside are gay-
crowds; inside there is everything
to fear.
You i 11 want to be there when the
curtain goes up at S10 and see this
novel mystery play.
ECTC Swing Band
Furnishes Music
At Chi Pi Play
One of the most unusual features
of tonight's production of "A Murder
Has Been Arranged" is the use of the
ECTC Swing Band as a stand-in for
the one hired by Sir Charles Jasper
to play for his dinner party on the
stage of the St. James Theatre, Lon-
don. It is the first public appear-
ance of the Swing Band this year and
is the first time that a "live" band
has played for the intermissions of a
play.
Richard David, saxophonist with
the band, will also play the part of
Cavendish, the band conductor. Other
members of the band are Elizabeth
Cotten. Faye Jessup, Mary Barden
Taylor, Elizabeth Darden, Elizabeth
Morgan. Mitchell White, Wanda Tyn-
dall, Lay ton Clark and Josephine
Gibson. Dorothy Peebles acts as
manager for the band and Mr. Charles
Fisher is the director.
The Swing Band was formed last
year with a view to providing experi-
ence in that type of music for its
members and provide music for many
of the school dances.

Simpson Takes Pictures
For College Annual
By now everyone probably knows
about Mr. Simpson from Simpson's
Studio in Charlotte, who took in-
dividual pictures of our student body
for the school annual. THE TECOAN.
He was here for four days and, as
we found out, was a very patient
man. Having had our pictures taken.
we remember how hard Mr. Simpson
tried to gel us to smile prettily for
the birdie; and I have often wondered
how many films were ruined because
some of us tried to appear so solemn
and studious looking.
Now that we have received our
proofs, I can see the smiling faces of
students running around showing the
pictures to everyone and trying to
decide which pose is better and how-
many pictures to have made. Don't
take too long in deciding, fellow stu-
dent or you may get left out.
Forensic Club
Discusses Politics
On November 2, the Jarvis Foren-
sic club had a program on current
political affairs. The vice-president
and program chairman, Jesse L.
Carter, introduced t h o speakers.
Short talks for the Democratic presi-
dential nominee. Franklin I). Roose-
velt, were made by Elsie West and
Christine Yarborough. Upholding,
for the night at least, the other major
political party, the Republicans,
were Amanda Etheridge and Helen
Rouse, who to a typically southern
audience called attention to the com-
mendable qualifications of Thomas
E. Dewey.
The new debate question, which has
just recently been announced, was
read to the club by the president,
Tommie Averitte. It is upon this
topic, resolved: "That the federal
government should enact legislation
requiring compulsory arbitration of
all labor disputes that our teams
will debate in the Grand Eastern
Forensic tournament, which is to be
held in Charlotte from April 5 to 7,
1945.
After a report by the radio pro-
gram committee and some discussion
by the club on the subject, it was de-
cided to present, when it came the
club's turn, several talks to be made
on subjects of interest by various
members of the Jarvis Forensic.
