You'd Better Use Her Entire Name
fall, there are some official va-
cancies in the campus organi-
zations. The larger per
cent of them were fortunate
enough to have all their officers
back, but the others have had to
do some replacing. The ma-
jority of these vacancies have
already been filled.
Sophomore representative
James Thomas of the Men's Stu-
dent Government Association
has been replaced by Clifton
Evans. Among the classes, the
sophomore was the only one that
had to refill any offices. Doro-
thine Massey has taken Virgin-
ia Elam's place as vice-presi-
dent, and Virgil Ward that of
Faye Bateman as Teco Echo
representative.
There have been three re-
placements on the business
staff of the Tecoan, Walter
Tucker, Clarissa Humphrey and
Sara Gorham. Particia Brooks
has been made editor-in-chief
of the Pieces O'Eight since
Ix)uise Davis did not return.
The absence of Louise Davis
also left the Chi Pi Play-
ers lacking a reporter and the
Poe Literary Society in need of
a vice-president. James Whit-
field succeeded her as vice-pres-
ident of the Poe Society.
The Emerson Society has a
new treasurer, Helen Louise
Taylor. Mary Thad Chappell
whose place she fills is not here
because of matrimony. It seems
that the Science Club is the only
one of the Departmental clubs
that had a vacancy. In this or-
ganization Norman Wilkerson
has been chosen vice-president
in the place of Helen Ward.
At a recent meeting of the
Budget Committee $20,300 was
appropriated among the various
organizations on trie campus.
This sum was derived from the
six dollar student activity fee
paid by each student every
quarter.
The largest amounts were
given to the Entertainment Com-
mittee and the Tecoan. They re-
ceived $5,000 each. The social
Committee received $750 to fi-
nance the three term dances and
the other two publications, the
Teco Echo and the Pieces 0
Eight, were given $1,500 and
$800. respectively. This is the
first year that the magazine has
received an appropriation and
this added expense automatical-
ly cut the other organizations.
The Athletic association was
awarded $3,660 in accord with
the resolution passed by the stu-
dent body to give the Athletic
association one dollar for each
student on the campus. To this
amount $1,000 was added to be
paid on the debt of the associa-
tion. The Varsity club, received
$175.
The Student organizations
were appropriated $1,175. The
W. S. G. A got $800 and $375
went to the'M. S. G. A.
Of the remaining $1200 the
Senior class received $100;
Junior class, $220: Chi Pi Play-
ers. $175; Y. W. C. A $250;
Y. M. C. A $175; Student salar-
ies, $270; and incidentals, $100.
Our fine institution is cer-
tainly showing signs of growth.
There is ample proof for this
statement in the fact that it has
already reached the point where
names have given out. Conse-
quently, forty one students
share their names with some-
one else.
Dorothy Davis (of the post
office) has been especially gen-
erous in sharing her appelation

on the mail anyway. She has
shared with Dorothy Rae Davis,
and Dorothy Louise Davis.
Here arise more complications!
Bonnie Louise Davis gets in on
this too. While the Davis fam-
ily was tying up, it also threw
in Ruth P. Davis and Ruth
Evelyn Davis as an extra guar-
antee for cooperation.
The Taylors are also going
strong. They boast two sets of
names, Anna Louise Taylor, and
Helen Louise Taylor. The odd
Frances Taylor and Frances A.
Taylor are more identical twins
of this family. .
Mary T. Bailey is glad
to share her name with another,
since this enables her to make
twice as many pie beds and lay
the blame for half of them on
her friend, Mary Grant Bailey.
Mary Moss Young would be
very pleased if Mary Frances
Young should become confused
and go to the dining hall some
morning when sleeping is a
wonderful luxury in which to
indulge.
Margaret Wood of Jarvis
Hall and the W. S. A. has been
obliged to notify all her Romeo's
to be sure they get her middle
name spelled exactly correct and
write legibly so as to make sure
that Margaret Hayes Wood will
make no mistakes about the mail
that is put in box 366.
One of the Louise Carters
evidently became disgusted with
crowded conditions and refused
child they named Helen to dis- to join the big family. At any
tinguish her from the others rate she left the dormitory room
in 253 Fleming to the other
Louise Carter.
There is still more to come�
more headaches for Miss Mor-
ton. And the other staff mem-
bers. They have eleven more
pairs to keep separate, but these
are apparently all good girls, for
they do not seem to give much
trouble. At least the only office
record they have left is their
names. On this list comes Mary
Esther and Mary Wood Koonce,
Frances and Frances Black Su-
therland, Rose Louise and Eve-
lyn Louise Britt, Rebecca Moye
and Rebecca Moye (the perfect
duplicates) Wilson, Annie Li
and Annie Allen Wilkerson,
Mary Elizabeth and Mary Quinn
Brown, Jane and Jane Under-
wood Vann, Mildred and Mildred
Lee Aycock, Mary Hazel and
Mary Elizabeth Whitely.
It seems a little unfair to any-
one not to have even a name he
can call his own, but there are
many things in this world shar-
ed less often than a name. Be-
lieve me, I know.
Mr. Deal Active
As A Speaker
Where? When? Occasion? All
were questions which confront-
ed Mr. Ralph C. Deal as the re-
porter broached him on the
subject of fall speeches.
The college is well aware that
their beloved prof has establish-
ed an unprecedented speech-
making record among M. As
and Ph. Ds of eastern Carolina.
Each season finds Mr. Deal
booked for a number of- lec-
tures, broadcasts and after-
dinner'talks. This fall is no ex-
ception to the general rule.
Already the "Dean of Spee-
ches" has entertained four dif-
ferent groups which include the
Bethel Rotary Club on ladies
night, September 10; Ayden Hi-
Y Club, September 28; Beau-
fort Woman's Club at a fall
dinner meeting, October 3; and
the meeting of E. C. T. C.
alumnae in Raleigh, October 15.
Mr. Deal also broadcasted from
WGTC October 9.
He will make an after-dinner
talk to the Ahoskie Woman's
Club on husband's night, Oct. 28.

Are You A Supporter Of Christianity?
Every Sunday the number of persons who stay away from
Church is greater'than the number who attend. This may be at-
tributed to at least two causes. There are elements that tend to
keep people from Church, or their interests in Christianity is
dwindling. Quite often the first cause may be accepted with
reservations, but the second should be looked upon with much
concern. In this so-called civilized world there are men created
by God who tell the people under their jurisdiction, "There is no
God. I am your master They have cast the Church and reli-
gious beliefs'in the background and endeavor to rule their people
by force. And in the United States there are people who frown
upon worship and ignore the possibilities of religious freedom
that human beings across the Atlantic are denied. You don't
have to go to Church to offer your humble petitions. God will
hear and answer the fervent prayer of the farmer who kneels be-
side a stack of new-mown hay while the last rays of the setting
sun sink in the pale of Western skies just as quickly as those who
worship in the most magnificent Cathedral. At East Carolina
Teachers College there are students who follow pursuits other
than those of a religious nature on Sunday; they munch the con-
tents of bag lunches on Sunday evening and outbursts of their
hilarity drown the strains of hymns sung at Vespers. In the not-
so-distant past, mothers of most sudents enrolled here worked
diligently each Sunday morning to see that their children got
dressed properly and attended Church. Today you are on your
own You wash behind your own ears and select your own cloth-
ing. Whether you continue your spiritual lifeis left to your dis-
cretion. Another Sunday is approaching. Many will go to
Church and many will stay away. For many students the hand
that rocked the cradle is submerged in six feet of earth Were
she living today it is likely she would want her son or daughter
to attend Church. And there are mothers still alive who seek to
give impetus to the undertakings of their children through prayer.
Are you a supporter of Christianity? Think it over!

The Men Are In Need Of A Council Room
The Men's Student Government Association has entered an-
other year without having a definite place in which to hold its
meetings. As a result its members are confronted with the
problem of not showing up for a meeting because they were not
advised of the meeting place. An effort was made by the council
leaders sometime ago to procure a room that could be used for
meeting purposes. After available rooms were assorted the
Council was left in the cold. It would be fitting, indeed, if the
governing body of the men students on the campus could be pro-
vided with such a room. Provision is made for such bodies in
other colleges, but has been overlooked at this institution. The
oversight apparently was not intentional, but the need for a Coun-
cil room seems strong enough to merit consideration. Members
of the Council need a definite meeting place.
Watching The World
by
���!���� William Harris �����-�
German bombers continue to blast London with relentless
fury and according to the latest reports the British defenses
are weakened. Fewer attacking planes are being destroyed by
the defending Royal Air Force fighters. In one encounter over
England the British defenders lost more planes than the Ger-
man attackers. Shipments of planes from United States have
boosted the British fighting force, and it seems that shipments
of planes to Britian must continue in volume to meet the needs
of the weakening Air Force. There are rumors that the British
will purchase several flying fortresses from the United States.
These planes are superior to any that the British now have and
would augment their defensive forces.
Wednesday, October 16, marked the first peace-time draft
in the history of the United States. Twelve million men reg-
istered for military conscription and of this number approximate-
ly 900,000 will be trained the first year. At the end of the four-
year program four million men will have received sufficient
military training. If war becomes imminent the yearly quota
of conscripts will undoubtly be increased as a measure of pre-
paredness.
Hitler's march into Rumania once again involves the Bal-
kans in the ever puzzling European conflict. Already, Rumanian
troops are being taught the Hitler method of making war. How-
ever, Hitler's purpose in taking Rumania seems to be: 1 access
to Rumania's abundant oil supply; and 2 establishment of a
strong submarine base on the Black Sea. Meanwhile, other coun-
tries of the Balkan peninsula are consentrating troops on the
border determined to thwart any attempt by Germany to de-
stroy their independence. Russia, who faces Rumania on the
North, frown upon German's move and already mobilized troops
are being stationed at the Russian border.

guishing characteristics about
the new fall suits. We've been
hearing a lot about the new-
longer length in jackets. This
is true in a sense�but the new
length is only about 3-4 inch
longer than last year's models.
The new easiness at the waist
tends to give a longer appear-
ence to the jacket. Shoulders
are still wide, with back full-
ness across the blades and easy
hanging cut in the front.
For town and business wear,
double breasted suits still are
favorites, but their lead is being
cut into by the single breasted
styles. Cheviot is the most
popular fabric used for these
suits, and blue leads on the color
chart.
In the sports and country
class, odd iackets are definitely
making big news. They're cut
along free and roomy lines
with straight backs in all cases.
A wide range of color, design
and material make up this type
of clothing. Tones of brown
are found most often in the
sport jackets, supplemented by
one or two other colors.
With these jackets are worn
sports trousers in solid sand,
brown or grey colors. All

Perhaps The Fault Lies In Leadership!
One Freshman made this remark recently, "I'm not going to
join any literary society. My teacher said they never do any-
thing We are not endeavoring to reprimand the instructor,
as anyone has a right, especially in the United States, to express
his or her opinion. However, declarations such as these should
be given some consideration before they are voiced possibly to
influence the thinking of a new student. WTiether the socieities
do anything or not is not a problem for an outsider. It is one
that will have to be solved by the society itself. A survey of work
done in the socieites will show they do something and the opinion
they do nothing is false. In such an organization it is easy at
election time to vote on a basis of popularity. In many instances
a person elected on this score makes a good leader; on other oc-
casions the organization they head becomes dormant. If an or-
ganization feels that its leader is not serving properly, it should
feel privileged to remedy this situation. But don't blame it all on
the leader. Members of any organization are just as much a part
of it as the leader and they should express beliefs for fostering ob-
jectives on various occasions. The opinion that a society never
does anything has been voiced by one who was not a part of the
society. Now it is up to the societies to prove to this person that
it was a case of misrepresentation. In each society there are
persons who have been a member since they were in college,
whether it be two years or four. Surely something has kept them
there. People don't remain with any organization permanently
unless they, as individuals, are enriched by what it has to offer.
Literary socieities have been an integral part of campus life at
East Carolina Teachers College through the years. They are
more active in some years than others. Perhaps the fault rests
in leadership. All in all, this is an issue for the societies to decide.
Three cheers for Doris Blalock.
Having known Doris for almost four years, we feel that she
one of East Carolina Teachers College's most prominent students,
and it is a pleasure to have her as the honor student in the paper.
Doris is from Black Creek, North Carolina, in Wilson County.
It seems as though Doris' popularity among college students
came with her arrival on the campus. Beginning with her fresh-
man year we find her leading the Junior Y Cabinet as president.
As a sophomore, Doris claimed the offices of senior Y Cabinet
secretary, Representative to S. I. A. S. S. Conference, and House
President. Last year Doris came to be more widely known than
ever. She was Treasurer of Senior Y. Cabient, Vice-President
of W. S. S. A on the constitution committee, representative to
S. I. S. G. A. Conference, Editor of Handbook, and had charge of
Who's Who. And just to glance down at her outside activities
we can see very well that Doris is going to be busy this year. She
is president of W. S. G. A representative on senior Y. cabinet,
chairman of entertainment committee, chairman of publications
board, chairman of budget committee, president of president's
club, and social committee representative.
There is no doubt about electing Doris when she is nominated
for any position that may be filled by a student, because she has
proved capable of leadership in almost every field.
Doris has won the friendship of all of the students with her
charming smile and personality, and we feel assured that as a
teacher she will be successful.
Best of luck to you, Doris.

Dr. Lucile Turner has been named head of the Department

Dean C. Tabor. To Dr Turner and Mr. Dittmer we say that those
whom you are succeeding did a splendid job during their respec-
tive administrations and their record will be one for you to shoot
at. Both of you have been outstanding in your chosen fields at
East Carolina Teachers College and have won the respect of both
your colleagues and members of the student body. We are glad
to hear of your promotion and feel you will render the splendid
tvpe of service your duties demand.
Training For One Thing And Doing Another
Some physical education students majoring for high school
work are raising a howl because they've been assigned to the
grammar grades instead of the local high school, for their prac-
tice teaching. This is said to have resulted from insufficient
funds. The State has seen the need of physical education and has
placed much emphasis on it. Legislators will have to hear the
cries of "more money" before anything can be done about the
matter of clearing up conditions that result from the lack of it.
Too, it seems unfair to the student and to the school he will serve
to give him his theoretical background in one phase of the course
he adopted as a major and force him to receive his practical back-
ground in another.
e
We Appreciate Your Generous Spirit
The staff of the Teco Echo, in behalf of the student body, ex-
tends appreciation to T. Y. Walker, manager of the Pitt Theatre
for the movies students of East Carolina Teachers College saw as
his guests, and to the Blount-Harvey Company for the program
it is conducting for the benefit of college students. To all other
merchants of the city who are helping students attend college
through spare-time employment, we extend our appreciation to
you, too. The Student body appreciates your interest and will
manifest it by patronizing your firm.
Hold Everything For Real Scare
by Rosalie Brown
Flash! The fads and fancies of modern collegiate dress has
finally reached it's climax.
Put on red flannels, pull up the long socks, adorn your hats
with anything from fishing tackle on down. We can stand
anything now. What's it all about? Then hold tight if you have
a ticklish spine and here goes!
Our latest style of luggage is of the long morbid box-like
structure. In short a coffin!
Clifton Britton, Chi Pi Player's one and only reason for
ex stence, says they prove to be very efficient. He brought his
clothes to school this quarter in one. And no key was needed
either.
Clifton began his search for his coffin during the summer.
"The Scull" just has to have a coffin, he declares. Several fac-
tories that endulge in their makings fortunatelv are near his
home. So off went Cliff to buy "his Coffin But hold! Every-
thing. A coffin quietly stood watch over some 'tatoes down in de
old storage house near by. Dem blame niggers had been
stealing 'tatoes all summer. No more were gone after the coffin
was put there.
"I got a coffin I'll give you the owner said to Clifton. And
having completed it's service there, the coffin went to Direc-
tor Britton.
With a sheepish grin he told me, "I put my bed linens and
part of my clothes in it the day I left
But not only negroes stealing 'tatoes are scared of coffins.
The Truck driver had to be coaxed with plenty of vigor to
take it along with Clifton. (I guess Clifton and a coffin was a
right big order) Never-the-less the coffin was placed safely on
lihe back of the pick-up and started to Greenville. Besides
his clothes, Britton intended to put a pal in it too. The boy
wanted to come and see the pretty girls so bad that he was
going to ride in the coffin. He ended up on top because of
"crowded clothes conditions

ENGLISH CLUB
R. G. Walser, instructor of
English at the Greenville high
school, spoke to the English
club Tuesday evening of last
week. His topic covered two
contemporary North Carolina
poets, John Charles McNeal
and Olive Tilver Dargand. He
effectively read selections from
each of the poets and thorough-
ly convinced his listeners that
this state is very much alive
with interesting writers of
verse. Another feature of Mr.
Walser's talk was the story he
related concerning his inter-
view with Mrs. Dargand ajt her
home in the mountains of this
state.
Plans for a club trip were
discussed and a committee of
three were appointed by the
president, Pauline Abeyounis,
to look into the costs of visiting
well-known spots of literary
interest.

At the first fall meeting of

FRENCH CLUB
New officers of the French

President Pauline Abeyounis,
with the help of her fellow-com-
mitteemen�-Cleo Burney, vice-

the business of the evening and
finally led the club in singing a

STUDENT OPINION
Dear Editor,
To supplement some of the complaints sent into this r.
ment we thought it would be appropriate to contribute a list
things we like about this school.
We like the crowds that gather in the gym to dance-
groups around the steps�the eager mass at the post office wh
mail comes in.
We like most of the teachers�the young ones with eage
in their eyes�the older ones with expressions of know:
determination�those who slight on giving outside work
leave more time for the "just messing around" that makes (
life so dear.
We like the mad rush to meals and better still�the I
themselves�occasionally not so palatable, but usuallv quite
licious�breakfast viewed through sleep torn eyes�lunche
after a hard morning of classes�and dinner with its pie or
cream.
Oh! There are just so many things we like�the shows-
trips up town�the concerts�the pep meetings�the games .
the team running down to victory�the loafing in the "Y" si
Well, it just seems that when you take all this away
would have no school. So our deduction is that E. C. T. C. is j
one swell school! The Stud- � -
To The Editor:
During the past few days a situation has arisen out of
ious mumblings heard around our campus. It is neither press -
nor has it been loudly voiced, but the undercurrent of question-
ing and unrest is there. I am referring to the attitude taken
by some of the students about the rules and regulations that
are necessary for the good of the college. Some of them, after
the hand-book meetings, have expressed their opinion that the
school is very liberal; but others have felt they are tied down.
and are forced to obey very strict rules that are rigid merely
for the fun of being strict�and no other reason. There have
been such questions as these: "Why can't we do this? "Why
can't we go riding in the afternoon without a permit from
home? "Why do we have such a rule? "Why couldn't we go
to the night football game last week without a permit? "Why
can't we do as we please with our rooms? and many others.
Each of the rules concerning these questions can be justified
in a manner that everyone can understand. They are not made
by the faculty or administrative staff alone; but are made and
passed by the student council which represents the students.
and are submitted to the school council, composed of representa-
tives from the faculty, the President, the Dean of Women and
the Dean of Men and the Student Council. However, they under-
stand how the students feel, and are willing to discuss it with
them. I would like to submit a suggestion, whereby these dif-
ficulties can be solved. This suggestion is as follaws: that a ques-
tion-box be placed in the hall of Austin Building in which stu-
dents can drop any question that they may want answered, or any
rule that they may want explained. These questions will be col-
lected presented and discussed in an open-forum at any
time that is convenient to all. In this forum these questions,
and any others that may come up, will be answered by persons
qualified to do so. For those who cannot attend this meeting
there can be a column in our paper giving both questions and
their answers. I think this is an excellent idea and I thank you
for the opportunity of presenting it. If the students are recep-
tive of the idea the time and place of this meeting will be post-
ed, and I urge all the students to come. Criss Humphrey

Rurlington alumni organized
early in the fall at a meeting at-
tended by the State President of
the Alumni Association, Mrs. B.
If. Bennett (Elizabeth Stewart)
and the alumni secretary. Es-
telle MeClees. The following
officers were elected : Presi-

Greensboro, the alumni group
met with Mrs. Robert Barbee
(Alice Whitehurst). Miss'Alice

was organized late last spring
at the home of Mrs. C. A. Jack-
son (Pattie Smith).
The High Point meeting, pre-
sided over by Miss Ruth Modlin,
president, was an informal one
in which there was a general
discussion concerning the Alum
absence of the president, Mrs.
J. L. Jenkins (Hortense Mo-
zingo) presided. For the year
194041, Mrs. St at on Ross
