Mrs. Picklesimer
Alumni Speaker
"Women in the Xews was the
subject of a most interesting talk
given by Mrs. P. W. Picklesimer at
the February meeting of the Green-
ville chapter of the ECTC Alumnae.
This meeting was held in the "Y"
hut Friday night, February 2. Mrs.
Picklesimer confined her discussion
to the three great women columnists,
Dorothy Dix, Dorothy Thompson,
and Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt. She
showed in her discussion how each
of these women in her own in-
dividual manner is reaching the eyes
and ears of the public today. The
influence of these three women is
being felt more and more every day.
Aliss Elizabeth Smith presided at
the business meeting in the absence
of the president, Mrs. Harry Forbes
and the vice president, Mrs. Henry
Harrell. After reading the minutes,
Miss Smith welcomed the new mem-
bers, Mesdames Patsy Glass, A. P.
Mathews, R. W. Davenport, George
Clapp, and De Koek Vincent.
Quests for the evening were Dr. and
Mrs. llilldrup.
The meeting was adjourned after
the hostesses, Mesdames F'd Hester,
Dupree Griggs, and Tyson Bilbro
had served tempting refreshments.
Mr. E. C. Hollar occupied the
pulpit in the Ay den and Winterville
Memorial Baptist churches last
Sunday at the morning and evening
services, in the absence of Hew
Frank Morris who was out of the
county for the dav.

Richard ("rooks, leading tenor of
the Metropolitan Opera Company
is scheduled to sing here Friday eve-
ning. February 23, at 8 :30 in the
Wright Auditorium. Mr. Crooks'
career began when he sang as boy
soprano soloist at the Ocean Grove,
New Jersey Auditorium at nine
years of age. He is now in his
thirties and has to stand a lot of
gaff from people who "remember his
voice twenty-five years ago When
he was twelve, he sang in the
Trenton Music Festival as co-star
with Schumann Ileink who predict-
ed great things for him. lie had
no money for music lessons and
worked to earn it. At seventeen, he
loaded ice into wagons for twenty
cents an hour. He says this helped
, to expand his chest!
After studying in Xew York he
I got his first job at the age of twenty,
as the first tenor in the Pifth
Avenue Presbyterian Church. He
j was offered a loan of ten thousand
; dollars to study abroad and turned
it down, preferring his independ-
! ence. At twenty-one he married his
j childhood sweetheart, and now has
an ideal home life.
Mr. Crooks was offered a "Met
i contract five years before lie ae-
, cepted it. hut when he did make his
; debut in l)-5 he stopped the show
with thirty-seven curtain calls. He
i has won acclaim with the dozen
leading roles he has sung at the
: "Met" since then, and ranks among
j the Company's most popular meni-
hers on both sides of the footlights.
'? He is also the only member of the
I Metropolitan Opera to continue on
i a radio program of his own for eight
l consecutive years.
Pochard Crooks says that he has
heard people say that male opera
stars are sissies. "I'd like to ex-
plode that notion he said. People
get it. perhaps, because of the fancy
clothes and the stage kisses. Well,
the costume is no more than a work-
ing uniform. And the stage kisses
are contracted at a distance of some
six inches. The trick is in bending
over at the right angle
Mi Crooks also expressed his
opinion on the way people ap-
proached classical music saying,
"As long as we keep on thinking
of music as a form of education and
culture instead of as an emotional
pleasure, we miss the point of the
thing. Music is part of the natural
scheme of life. Everybody sings,
hums or whistles something. It's
the 'sports?approach to music that
we need to cultivate, that is an ap-
proach that is more spirited, gayer
and more adapted to the every-day
lives of people

participated. The gifts were donated
by the local merchants. The money
made will be used to bring a well

this consideration the hoard again
met and the members derided to
present it at mass meeting where it
was approved after little discussion
and passed by a majority vote.

to ask for an appropriation from
the budget committee which must
first be approved by the publication
hoard. Its staff will be elected by
the student body and every student
will receive each of the copies of

Therefore, on Ais particular morn-

President Meadows recently publicly endorsed the Educational
Series plan which is being sponsored by the Greenville Home
Building and Loan Association.
The dan of the association is to assure a numher of Greenville
children o' a college education by providing a system whereby
their parents may lay away a certain amount of money weekly.
When the child comes of college age there will he sufficient money
saved to staid that child through college.
for any Inn or jjirl entering the first or second grade of the
Greenville Schools this year, under this plan. $.()4 per week will
assure him of one year in college: $1.25 per week assures him of
two years in college; $?.50 per week will assure him of four years
in college.
In a letter to the Home Building and Loan Association. Dr.
Meadows wrote: "It seems to me that you are doing a very fine
thing in opening up an educational series in your Building and
Loan Association, for the purpose of helping young men and
women through college. You are not only encouraging thrift in
those who are saving the amount necessary for college expenses
but you are also opening up an opportunity for the boys and girls
to prepare themselves for greater usefulness in life.
"I take pleasure" stated Dr. Meadows, "in commending such
a step to those who have children who are to be educated in the
future

An Apology in Order
Action recently taken by the Y.W.C.A. and the Y.M.C.A. execu-
tive cabinets in closing; the "Y" Heading room to the student body
is justified. If the students do not know how to appreciate the
privilege extended to them by the two associations as all evidence
points out, then thev do not deserve such a place for their con-
venience.
The Y.M.C.A. and the Y.W.C.A. did not have to open their
cabinet room to the use of the students, but they were kind enough
to want to let others enjoy their room, their magazines, their books,
and their comfortable chairs. So they opened their doors to the
whole college. They spent money and time in fixing up this room
so that it would be just as convenient and comfortable as possible.
Thev bought many of the leading magazines to place around the
room and thev bought good modernistic lamps which provide the
best light possible for reading. They bought ash trays so that
the students might smoke in there, and they built book cases to
accommodate stray books and magazines. In addition to this, the
"Y" members spent many hours working down there getting the
place ready for use.
And to what avail did they spend all this money and time?
Only to have their reading room and their property abused and
kicked around. What a disillusion to have trusted the students
in taking advantage of an extended privilege and then lose it by
virtue of not being able to respect the rights of others and failing
to adhere to established principles of good manners.
One thing that hurt so badly about the use of the room was
the fact students abused their privileges in there when the room
was provided by two religious organizations. Then too people
who wanted to use the place as it should have been were made to
feel out of place, because others who were abusing the privileges
were so boisterous. The Y.W.C.A. and the Y.M.C.A. have no
intention of sponsoring such things.
The student body owes an apology to the two "YV for their
misconduct and carelessness in the use of the "Y" Reading Room.
Perhaps if the students can convince the "Y" cabinets that they
can act decently and can respect others' property, they might
consider reopening their room to the college.

time students can express their
opinion before the student body. It
is through these meetings that the
worthwhile things concerning us
take place, yet some of us have a
dirty attitude toward these meet-
ings.
Every time we assemble in mass
meeting the student body is in such
a rush to get out that they vote for
anything before them in order to
get out. For what?I have no idea.
At the last mass meeting the stu-
dents were in such a rush to get out
that they voted to do away with
something and then voted to have
another that included the same
thing that they had just voted to
do away with. If this is clear cut

Flying the Flag
To the Editor:
Sometime ago there appeared a
letter in this column asking that the
flag be flown on the front campus.
The administration shortly after-
ward complied, and wre do have
a flag flying in front of the Austin
building.
Contrary to the belief of many
students, this flag is not flown in
rain or snow, nor is it flown after
dark. Every morning around seven
o'clock workmen can be seen rais-
ing the flag and every evening at
five-thirty it is lowered. This pro-
cedure takes place every day but
Sunday unless inclement weather
interferes. I think the student body
would all agree that the flag flying
on front campus adds a great deal
to the looks of the school, and I here-
by give my vote of thanks to the ad-
ministration in appreciation for
their cooperation.
Aside from the good that flying the
flag does on the campus, it can aid in
swelling the pride of persons pass-
ing the college in automobile or
while walking. The street on which
East Carolina Teachers College is
situated is one of the six main high-
ways radiating from Greenville.
When visitors come here from
neighboring towns and see the flag
flying, they are certain to return to
their respective towns and comment
that a spirit of material democracy
apparently prevails on the campus
of East Carolina Teachers College.

State Supervisor
Is Also College Guest
Attends BSU Meeting
Mr. W. Perry Crouch, head of
the Department of Christian Educa-
tion and Training of the Baptist
State Convention, spoke on several
occasions to the students during his
stay on the campus last Tuesday and
Wednesday.
Mr. Crouch, who spoke on the na-
tional situation and on choosing a
vocation, is the "Y" quarterly for
this quarter. lie spoke at the
regular meeting in chapel on Tues-
day; again at vespers on Tuesday
night; and at twelve o'clock in the
Austin Auditorium on Wednesday.
In his address at the regular
chapel Mr. Crouch said that he was
more interested in college students
than in the war situation, hut that
since they would be directly tied
up in it some time in the future, it
was of vital importance. Saying
that both sides lost no matter which
won technically, Mr. Crouch main-
tained that we would have war until
the people realized that man and not
property is of supreme worth. Mr.
Crouch said that when and only
when a man was in contact with
God could he le capable of his great-
est development, do wonders in the
world of property, and do a greater
piece of work lifting up his fellow
man.
I n the " Y" room on Tuesday
afternoon and Wednesday morning,
Mr. Crouch held individual con-
ferences. Having worked extensive-
ly among the college students on
many college campuses in North
Carolina, lie is better able to help
students with their problems.

Crouch discussed abundant living.) Federal writers' project, Here's Xew

Dr. LeRoy Hilldrup of the history
faculty has recently been appointed
on the membership committee of
the Southern Historical Association
for the year 1999-40.
The Southern Historical Associa-
tion is an organization for the pro-
motion of interest and research in
Southern history, the collection and
preservation of the South's histori-
cal records and the fostering of
teaching and study in all branches
of history in the South.
Membership in the association is
limited only to those interested in
the South's history. Although the
organization is designed primarily
for college and university teachers
and researchers, it should appeal
also to ambitious high school his-
tory teachers who are interested in
Southern history.
When interviewed concerning his
appointment, Dr. Hilldrup stated
that anyone interested in joining
the Association might get in touch
with him and he would furnish
membership blanks.
Hoover Taft, Greenville attorney,
speaking at the Vespers at East
Carolina Teachers College last
night, told his audience of the
"material advantages we may derive
from following the Christian reli-
gion
In comparing concrete facts of re-
ligion with abstract facts, Mr. Taft
recalled how people in the era of
the cave man worshiped the sun he-
cause of the material advantages it
gave them; how people of the Nile
worshiped the great river because
of its material advantages; how the
people of India worshiped tin1 ele-
phant because of the material ad-
vantages he produced, and then drew
the thoughts of his listeners to
present-day life to show how
material advantages can be had from
following the Christian religion.
He told his audience that some
of them might call him a humanist
?but "I'm not, since humanism
completely overlooks immortality,
one of the greatest factors of Chris-
tian religion While speaking of
the part law plays in the life of an
individual, Mr. Taft explained that
"law is not a positive force, hut a
passive one, and we need more than
law to motivate the mind of an in-
dividual
Home, marriage, respect for
parents, and protection against ag-
gression and adversity the speaker
listed among the material advantages
that most people of today in this
country enjoy because they live
under the influence of Christianity.
"Is immortality worthy of taking
as the truth because of the consola-
tions we experience from such a
belief in this life?" Mr. Taft asked
his audience. "Present-day contro-
versies in religion do not mean that
I shall not he able to enjoy it; nor
do these controversies mean that any
other person shall not he able to
eniov Christian living he said in
(dosing.

Too much emphasis is placed on

greater advantage many times if it
were used in some way that would
help the majority of the girls.

? A. Hankner announced this week that the annual East
High School Basketball Tournament would be held on Feb-
20 and 21 instead of February 27, 28, 2!) and March .
under the present set-up there will be no girls' tourney
that of the boys this year since the State Department of
Education lias for some time looked upon a tournament for
considerable disfavor, indicating that the physical and emo-
ains of a tournament are too great for the average high school
p!i Hankner explained the college, in attempting to eo-
lith the State Department, will not sponsor a tournament for
year. If the principals decided to sponsor a tourney for girls,
committee of principals and eoaches will be asked to assume
. rship, with the College cooperating.

Boxing is on the Hocks at ECTC This Year
U some news that boxing candidates as well as sports fans have
beei titing for. There will not be any boxing here this season. The
tnts -tupped going out for the team and Coach Hankner has
eal off the bouts that were scheduled tentatively for this season.
11 ? the tryouts nor the coaches are to blame. Then, too, the blame
eai laid to any particular person. One star of last season could
ter the game this season and another is not in school this quarter.
S the hopefuls informed this corner they didn't "see any need
i g out for only a pair of fights and then have these with nothing
but ri. need material When there is lack of interest among
for a sport, it is beyond the power of a coach to mould a team?
a that's our opinion.
A trip of 60 persons to the Duke-
Carolina game being played in Chap-
el Hill tomorrow night, a "Play
Day" in which students of several
leading women's colleges of North
Carolina will be represented, and an
intramural basketball program are
sandwiched around the current ac-
tivities of the Women's Athletic
Association.
Sixty members of the Women's
Athletic Association, along with Miss
Helen McElwain, head of women's
athletics at the college, will journey
to Chapel Hill tomorrow and see
two outstanding "Big Five" basket-
ball teams in action. The girls will
spend tomorrow night in Durham,
attend the Sunday worship in the
Duke University Chapel and return
to Greenville Sunday afternoon.
Although complete plans for the
"Play Day" have not been mapped,
it has been decided to hold the affair
on February 17. It is known defi-
nitely that representatives of Wom-
an's College, U.N.C and Atlantic
Christian College will be here. Other
schools that have been sent invita-
tions include Meredith and Black-
stone. The program, including bas-
ketball and indoor sports, will get
started at 10 o'clock in the morning
and he concluded around 4 o'clock
in the afternoon.
First round play in the "Round
Robin" tourney of the intramural
program got under way last week
with nine teams entered in the com-
petition. All the teams will see much
action during the quarter and after
play is concluded an All-Star team
will be selected.
Team captains follow: Kem Tom-

luch Do You Know About Horses?
- of the Bluegrass region of Kentucky and other sections of
? where horses are raised for pleasure and a profit, this question
answered rather easily. However, down here in Eastern North
a, where the plough horse is about the only type of horse we
thing about, there is not much we can say about a horse.
i are desirous of knowing something about horses, however,
suggestion. Dr. Beecher Flanagan of the college faculty is an
on" horses. He knows the life history of the outstanding race
I recent years; the selling price and gainful returns of such
personal traits of well known horses; the difference in varied
foot action of horses, and many other things. We haven't asked
lid be all right if he explained something about horses to inter-
tudents, but since he has never refused to share his valuable
an informative manner with members of the student body, we
ere would be no objections.

The fellows laughed again. In another instance I collided with two
colh-agues. They escaped unhurt. The fellows are still laughing!
linte the setbacks, I still think it's great to be an athlete!
Varsity Club is Really Forging Ahead!
Never before in college history has the Varsity shown more progress
than during the current school year. Heretofore the Varsity Club has
sponsored successful dances and really went to the fore last quarter
when it presented "The Milky Way Now they have something else
planned?an idea destined to promote interest in athletics at East
Carolma Teachers College. Their proposal calls for awarding trophies?
to be purchased by the club?and bearing the name of contest winners.
Instead of allowing the player to retain the trophy, however, it would be
placed in a trophy case of the Varsity Club.
Too much Emphasis on Athleties?
Hamsav Potts of Greenville declared in a Vesper service recently
that colleges and universities of the nation are placing too much emphasis
on intercollegiate athletics. Most any person can reach sach,a.c?nac,1lon
since developments in the field of sports is more widely publicized than
educational progressiveness. We have no concrete j?J
extent of the emphasis that is sandinehed around inter?llegiate
sports, but we do know that such emphasis eontrnnes to realize decided
growth. In our opinion, schools that emphasuze ffWk
degree are not thinking about the physical development of men students
enrolled in the school, but solely for the Pty the ??M?-
Duke University k mentioned, we de nottnkof the vauabk trainmg
it gives it students, bat of the East-We elMsic ito IromJWJ
Played in the Rose Bowl in Califami two tears ago More and more.the
pnblic is thinking in terms of athletic teams a school turns ?rt. Perhaps
the schools are fakny dowrt in thek dmtr to pre ??" Va-
cation and the public is given the wrong conception as a result.
In an effort to promote continued
interest in athletics among its mem-
bers the Varsity Club is planning a
well-rounded program in athletics
for all members of the club, with
the program set to get under way
during the spring.
Douglas Glover and Walter Mo-
ritz, designated to work out a pro-
gram for the Varsity Club, explained
the activities would include all kinds
of indoor sports such as badminton,
table tennis, shuffleboard, darts and
others.
And here's a surprise. It is pos-
sible that girls may be given an op-
portunity to pair with the boys in
tennis, ping pong and badminton
doubles. Even though this idea is
merely a proposal, the boys are said
to be giving it serious consideration.
Since the program has been de-
signed solely for members of the
Varsity Club, it has been decided
to award trophies to champions in
the various fields of sport featured
in the competition. It was pointed
out by Bill Shelton, president of the
Varsity Club, that small trophies
would go to certain winners, but
would not be retained by them. The
names of the winners will be placed
on the trophies, which will be kept
in a trophy case of the Varsity Club.
Committeemen are slated to confer
Saturday relative to improvise pres-
ent plans and consider other pro-
posals for the program. Aside from
the intra-club athletic activities, the
Varsity Club will sponsor its an-
nual dance on March 23. Flans for
the athletic events as well as the
dance will he announced at a future
date.
East Carolina Teachers College
scored 252 points against their op-
ponents' 133 in four basketball
games last week, all of which were
played on the local court.
Portsmouth's Y.M.C.A. cagers.
which has one of the best records of
a team in Tidewater competition in
Virginia, were turned back 42-29
in a game played here on January
26. The Pirates led 20-17 at the half.
One of the best games came on
January 31 with the Raleigh White
Flash. The capital city boys breezed

first and second half, winning 50-4S.
The score was tied 24-24 at inter-
mission.
Rocky Mount's Y.M.C.A. cagers
lacked strong offensive and defens-
ive material in a game played on
January 29 and resulted in a 79-27
victory for the determined Pirates,
who were on the big end of a 31-15
half-time score.
Louisburg College, which had only
one left-over from last season, could
not thwart the tactics of the favored-
to-win Pirates last Saturday night
and lost 83-27 for one of the largest
scores ever put on the Pirate score-
board in a basketball game. At in-
termission, the Pirates were ahead
36-13.
Donald Brock turned out to be the
Pirates' scoring ace in all games com-
bined, scoring 26 points in the White
Flash game for the largest indi-
vidual score of the four-day series.
Brock scored 74 points in all the
games. George Lautares, who scored
24 points in the Rocky Mount "Y"
game had a combined record of 56
points for the four games. Bill Shel-
ton was credited with 44 points in
the four games.
Harry Riddick, called for duty
during all the games, turned in a
fine offensive performance. Floyd
Hinton was out of one of the games
because of flu, but he did well in the
others. Dave Watson was up to his
usual good standard in the games.
Jimmy Dempsey, who has seen quite
a bit of action recently, fought hard
in the games. Tom Cox has proved
that he can display fine teamwork
in a game, as has Kelly Martin.
INJURED
Walter Rodgers, popular
E.C.T.C. athlete, is nursing an
injury received recently in an
intramural basketball game.
Rodgers' physician ordered
that he refrain from active par-
ticipation in sports and that's
what he's been doing for the
time being.
Although he cannot play bas-
ketball any time soon with the
Tigers, whom he captains in the
intramural program, Rodgers
is managing his team from the
bench.

Five of Six Contests
Industrial League of the capital city, l,e played here Saturday. February
By JOHN WILLIAMS
Mickey Xorthcutt's Lions have
received only one setback in a half
dozen starts in intramural compe-
tition in the boys' athletic division
on the ECTC campus.
Since the early compilations, the
largest score made by an individual
team in the program was Walter
Rodgers' Tigers, who scored 24 points
against Bill Dudash's Wildcats, the
latter team scoring 23 points in the
same game.
Recent standings showed the Lions
with five wins and one loss. Walter
Rodgers' Tigers are second in the
standings with four wins and two
defeats; R. H. Chadwick's Zebras
are in third place with two wins
and twice as many losses, while Bill
Dudash's Wildcats are in the cellar
with only one win.
Although Coach Gordon Gilbert is
supervising the program, the boys
have charge of all the activities in
the actual games. Officials for the
contests have been Bill Merner, Bill
Dudash, Mickey Northcutt, Walter

and composed of former "Big Five"
stars, with the biggest crop pro-
vided by State College, they produced
what is regarded "the best game of
the year" on the E.C.T.C. campus.
Farley's Pirates were faded 50-48
by the superior team from Raleigh,
but only after one of the hardest-
fought battles ever to be witnessed
here. The score was deadlocked at
24-all when the half-time horn was
sounded. The score was tied five
times over the route and the Pirates
came within two points of defeating
the visitors five times after the sec-
ond half opened.
Both teams see-sawed during the!
first half and a minute and a half
before the first period of play waSj
concluded, the score was tied 22-22.1

In delivering his welcome address
on the opening day of the meeting
President Meadows challenged the
state to give inert1 attention to the

urged that they be taught
character, economic sufficiency (or
how to make a living), and service.

text. Dr. Meadows told the boys at-
tending the banquet, "remove not
the ancient landmarks' or funda-
mental traditions, of their forefa-
thers as: preparation for service or
education; work, which he said has
been sadly neglected in recent years;
honesty, responsibility faith and
helpfulness.

Brock bagged a basket for the locals
and put the Pirates in front 24-22.
Bed McCall sank a beautiful basket
in the last five seconds to create the
half-time deadlock.
Bill Shelton, who opened the Pi-
rates' scoring in the first verse, came
back in the opening minute of the
second half with a field goal. A
minute later the score was deadlocked
again, this time 26-26.
Ealeigh was in front 4S-47 two
minutes, 42 seconds, before the final
horn. A gift shot by Raymond Payne
gave his mates a 50-47 advantage and
their last point-making of the game.
A foul shot which Brock made good
gave the Pirates a trailing score of
50-4S?and that's the way it ended.
Harry Biddiek. who has shown
more improvement than any other
man on the squad this season, made a
serious thrust for the basket in the
last 40 seconds. Had it been good
the game would have gone beyond
the regulation distance. Missing the
shot, however, was no fault of his
own.
Brock featured the scoring with
26 points. Lautares was next with
12. Jim Bennie and Junie Page
fouled out of the game late in the
second half. P. G. Hill, who has
paved the way for State College in
many games of yesteryear, scored 16
points for the winners.

Dear Alumni:
Though I have actually been
on the campus only four days
as your secretary, I feel that
the few years since having been
graduated have melted into a
moment and that I am back
home again. It is indeed a
pleasure and a privilege to
serve both you and the college.
March 9 marks a very im-
portant day in the life of our
college. It is celebrating
Founders Day. The college was
founded March 8, 1907, and
we are using as Homecoming
Day the ninth so that you?the
majority of which are teachers
?may conveniently attend. As
a part of the program a new
classroom building will be ded-
icated and a century of Pub-
lic Teacher Education in the
United States commemorated. I
know that you as alumni of the
college will make every possible
effort to attend the celebration.
I have a very selfish motive
in wanting you back home
again for to me it will mean
renewing acquaintances and
meeting all of you that I do
not know. As a willing novice
in the work, I request you to
start now making plans to reg-
ister in the Robert H. Wright
Building at 10:00 a.m Satur-
day morning, March 9. We will
have luncheon together and
meet for tea in the afternoon.
Sincerely yours,
Estelle McClees,
Alumni Secretary.
