Common Courtesy At A Dance
Dancing, symbolic of the social way of life at East Carolina
Teachers College, has received new impetus this year. However,
with it has come violations of the laws of common courtesy. We
refer to the jitterbugs who make a practice of going through
all the maneuvers that go with this dance fad. irrespective of
the size of the croud on the floor. This is not intended as a re-
primand for the jitterbugs, as what they do is exceedingly appro-
priate for some of the red hot syncopations that prevail these
days. Such a situation does not make a receptive impression
among visitors and special quests. A week from today the campus
building will be packed with dancers that assemble for the re-
gular quarterly hop. To everyone, we say. "Have a grand time To
the jitterbu.es we offer this friendly suggestion, "Please watch

A Decided Step Of Progressiveness
Establishing a Social Adjustment committee at East Caro-
lina Teachers College is a definite stride in making better in-
dividuals of future graduates of this institution. By the way of
explanation the committee has nothing to do with disciplinary
problems and a conference with any member of the group is its
program this year with personality test among the Freshmen. I
These will be used as a basis for enabling them to adjust them-
selves to campus life. They will find a helping hand from this
group throughout their college careers. Upperelassmen are pri- j
vileged to take the personality test. also. All the better colleges j
and universities of the United States have such set-ups. It is
encouraging to any new student to know he is entering a school
that has made arrangements to help him get something out of j
life as well as his studies: and when one adjusts himself socially
he is equipped to get something out of life. Attractive confer- i
ence rooms of the committee are located on the east corridor I
of the third floor of Austin. The committee men will appreciate �
vour visit, even though it isn't compulsory. If you have a pro-
blem, ask their advice. If they don't have a solution, they'll help ;
vou find one.
A Note For Tomorrow's Mothers
In the past it has been customary for many persons to ignore
problems that have a pertinent sociological effect upon the com-
munity, particularly the matter of childbirths. The current
issue of Look carried the following declaration: "Of 2.075.000
babies born every year. 2.000.000 are born alive and 73.000 dead�
70,000,000 more die the first month of life, and 14.000 mothers
die every year from causes connected with childbirth. Medical
authorities, who know that two of every three mothers' deaths
can be prevented, have turned to the education of parents and
parents-to-be as the likeliest method of bringing childbirth fatal-
ities down to the irreducible minimum that should prevail in a
land so wealthy. Every 14 seconds, day and night, winter and
summer, an American baby is born This is your problem,
mothers of tomorrow. Give it a little consideration.
With continued aid and support of the British forces,
Greek troops have pushed back the invading Italians in a great
rough arc extending all along the mountainous battlefront. The
Greek objectives in the fighting have been attained without ex-
ception, and at the end of over two weeks of the intended Italian
"blitz" offensive, the defender's position was declared by neutral
experts to be as good as or even better than it was on the first day
of the invasion.
Reports of the annilihation of whole Italian battalions, regi-
ments, and even a division remind one of the reception of the
Russians by the Finns. The valiant fight put up by Greece
against such overwhelming odds seems to promise more than
that which befell the Finns. Britian has no game to play now
exceDt grim war. therefore it is certain that Greece will be sup-
plied if it is possible.
Northern Greece is being visited by heavy rains, the begin-
ning of the four month rainy season, which is expected to mire
Italy's mechanized brigades, but is expected not to make much
difference to Greek infrantry and horse-drawn vehicles. The rain
and overcast skies also screens Greecian cities and villages from
the blows of Italian air-raiders.
Information gathered from Italian prisoners leads to the
belief that Italian morale is suffering under the bitter weather
conditions and apparent lack of preparation for the drive into
Greece.
Since the Italian invasion of Greece, Turkey has remained
faithful to her British alliance but also has made every effort to
reach an understanding with Moscow. The Turks have counted
on Russia for either passive or active support in maintaining an
indenpendent policy in the face of axis pressure.
Turkish quarters have informed the world that Turkey will
fight if vitally threatened, regardless of the way Russia swings.
These sources added that any movement of Bulgaria against
Turkey "would be sufficient cause for war
The destructive earthquakes in Rumannia last week-end hit
hard the oil production for the axis powers. Rumors were that
British bombing groups were preparing to bomb the fields and
refineries. The reconstruction process will be slow indeed if
it is harrassed by bombings prepared for the industry intact.
War in the Mediterranean and the Near East has entered
its sixth month with indications that up to now it has been but
a prelude and that the real struggle for this vital east-west gate-
way is about to begin.
President Roosevelt, backing his pledge of further aid to
Great Britian, has established a rule of thumb under which Unit-
ed States and British-Canadian armed forces will go 50-50 on war

The People Of America Make A Decision

So, Cooperation Is What You Want!
Some criticism has been directed to the Teco Echo relative
to the representation some of the campus organizations receive. I
L.ach organization has a member who is elected to handle publi-
city. If he or she handles the job properly, there will be repre-
sentation in the college newspaper. It is the duty of a reporter
to brin. the material to th enewspaper, as the job is too enormous
for the newspaper to go to the reporter for his material. If vour
club is not receiving mentions, blame your reporter, not the Teco
Echo. Give us the news and we'll print as much as space will
permit.
Tomorrow Is Your Day, Graduates!
Once again East Carolina Teachers College has set the stage
for an annual Homecoming day. and with it brings the return to
the campus of hundreds of former students. A program has been
unsigned especially for your enjoyment and we hope you enjov
every minute of it. Some of the faces seen on the campus to-
morrow may never be seen again by some who return, as progress
through the years leads one nearer to the grave. After reach-
ing your Alma Mater on Homecoming day, just hang up the coat
and hat. make yourself at home, and enjoy a dav at your second
home.
We Welcome Delegates To The Teachers' Meet
Today East Carolina Teachers College plays host to more
than 1,000 teachers and school officials from 22 counties, who are
assembling here for the annual convention of the Northeastern
District of the North Carolina Education Association. Each
year the program of the conference is enriched by the splendid
contributions leaders in the field of education present through

Do You Attend The Sunday Vesper Services?
Each Sunday evening the Young Women's Christian Asso-
ciation or the Young Men's Christian Association conduct Ves-
pers and nearly 1,100 students fail to attend. There are plenty
of reasons one might offer for not going and there are a score of
reasons why one should go. Last Sunday a graduate of the Col-
lege came all the way from Goldsboro to deliver an insp-rational
talk, and only a few students turned out to hear him. It is likely
his reception did not cope with his expectations. In this war-
torn universe, an effort is being made to blot out Christianity.
No true American would like to see this happen in the United
Mates The Sunday evening Vespers offer a means of keeping
alive the spirit of Christianity. Are you doing your part? Do
you attend the Sunday evening Vespers?

A fairly comprehensive pic-
ture of the average sorority
girl on the Washington Univer-
sity campus at St. Louis is con-
tained in a survey in Student
Life, campus publication.
Some of the conclusions fol-
! low:
"She comes in assorted
I heights, dressed and shaped ac-
cording to latest fashion. Her
j well-curled hair is becoming,
and she will seldom cover it
with a hat; but just let a su-
spicion of rain appear and she
� wads it up under a bandana
and looks like someone who
should be slaving in Russian
wheat fields.
"In spite of her 12-hour study
average weekly she keeps her
; ades well above the campus
ie.el, makes more B's than C's,
and inspires all kinds of tales
of apple-polishing by the less
successful male.
"She thinks about men al-
most as much as they like to
think she does, but her thoughts
are not always to their credit.
Rather often she has more
dates than she wants, because
that's the only way she can be
sure to have the ones she really
does want.
"Two or three nights a week
she has a more or less formal
asked-for-in-advance, definite-
destination date. In between
times she may lunch or go for
rides or have boys drop in.
Certainly she spends hours on
end "jellying which she may
! or may not consider a great
waste of time. (Jellying�A
'campus term meaning an inex-
pensive date, usually several
I hours sitting in a restaurant
lover a soda or dish of ice
, cream.)
"She has an allowance and
, usually buys her own lunch at
the school cafeteria or an off-
campus restaurant.
! "She may look frivilous, but
i there's a fifty-fifty chance she
has held down a paying job at
some time or other. She may
even be the one girl in a hun-
dred who's working her way
through college with a full-time
job. She's more apt to be the
one sorority girl in 10 who earns
her spending money by working
about seven hours a week.
"In general she's a happy
girl, well-satisfied with her
share of life

To The Editor:
The Entertainment committee has scored again with "The
Barber of Seville but the score is on the wrong side of the led-
ger. Judging from the number of students who left the
Friday night the "Barber" wasn't so good. If this is a
of Opera, then it is no wonder that aid had to be solicited

But my dear Editor that is so much water that has
under the bridge; and now the question is. "What to do about the
moving picture machine lease which expires this vear The
Budget committee of last year left $350 to applv on a ne lease.
This years committee increased the Entertainment a ria-
tion $4,600 to $5,000 to help on the lease, but that only gives -hem
$750 toward a new machine. The thing the Committee did not
take into consideration was the cost of the new machine, and now
since all the entertainments have been scheduled, where is the
rest of the money coming from? Rumor has it that the commit-
tee wants all organizations to turn back five per cent of tin ir ap-
propriations to help finance the purchase of a new machine or a
lease. Rather far fetched don't vou think?
There is one other point I would like to bring out and that is.
Why don t the summer school students pay one-fourth oi this
cost, as they use the machine one-fourth of the time From all
information I can gather, the unexpended summer school fund is
used for improvements on the campus. Well, why shouldn't it
be used on this machine instead of carrying on what seems to
be a state function? "Bored"

Saturday afternoon. Novem-
ber 2. the ECTC Pirates de-
feated the Guilford Quakers,
13-0. before a Homecoming
crowd of 2.000 Guilford fans.
Tt was the first victory for the
Pirates over a Guilford foot-
! ball team in four years of play.
The Pirates entered the game
as the underdogs but after a
few minute of play they had de-
finitely shown their superiority.
I Late in the first quarter. Chuck
McFee faded back deep and
tossed a pass to Charles Craven
j who crossed the goal line un-
touched. When the play be-
j gan. the ball was resting on the
Guilford thirty-five yard line.
McFee kicked the extra-point.
The Pirate's last touchdown
came in the fourth quarter,
with the ball resting on the
Guilford twenty-five yard line.
Bob Young raced around left
end behind good interference
for the score. He was tackled
at the goal line but managed to
fall over for the touchdown.
The extra-point was wide.
Chuch McFee, who played his
usual good game, was injured
in the second quarter, and was
taken from the game. The
Pirate line starred for ECTC.
The Quakers could make little
progress against the good resis-
tance that the Pirate forward
wall put up, and on offense, the
way was cleared for the ball-
carrier. In the backfield, Bob
Young and Dan Waddell were
outstanding.

received their medicine Thurs-
day night at the hands of the

When Friday morning rolled

One minute they're butter-
flies, floating gracefully
through the air; the next, ele-
phants lumbering bulkly along
in time with Chopin's funeral
march.
No, they're not magicians�
they're not even
artists. In fact, they're only
freshmen primary majors of
the plain garden variety. But
when they get in that physical
education class designed to
teach them games, which they
in turn are to drill into their
young proteges, the results are
highly amusing, to put it mildly.
Just imagine, if you can.
Chris Hellen galloping along
imitating a horse, or Lois Ses-
soms hopping on all fours in
the manner of a rather rheu-
matic bunny.
The girls not only imitate ani-
mals�they must skip around
the gym playing "Farmer in
the Dell" like any six-year old;
they become cowboys one in-
stant and Columbus embarking
for the new world the next.
They learn (now don't laugh)
they actually learn the .juvenile
art of skipping around the
gym. we mean the one that is
usually acquired in the first
grade. And it isn't so easy to
do�just ask Clara Williamson
about it.
Of course there are always
plenty of those disinclined to
such hard labor, whose chief
exercise consists of laughing at
their more energetic classmates,
until they are forced to perform
by those without such an over-
developed sense of humor.
Now this doesn't sound like
a very studious class�and it
isn't�but why be studious
when you can have fun and
learn at the same time?
High Point College will bring
a big powerful, and smooth
running football team to ECTC
tomorrow night to try to spoil
the Pirates' Homecoming party.
The game is to begin at 7:30
and will be played under the
lights at Guy Smith Stadium.
For the past two weeks,
Coach Christenbury has been
pointing his boys toward their
greatest home game. All in-
jured men have returned to uni-
form, and the squad, for the
first time since the season be-
gan is at full strength. Wilson
Shuerholtz, who was injured in
the second game of the season
is back in uniform and should
� see action. Chuck McFee, in-
!i jured in the Guilford game, will
be ready to go, and Chick Mur-
ray, injured last week in prac-
tice is fully recovered.
This year's record is the best
that a Pirate team has ever
established. They have won
impressive victories over Kutz-
town. PJC. Guilford College,
and William and Mary at Nor-
folk. The two games dropped
were to WCTC and State Col-
lege freshmen.
Coach Christenbury has not
yet announced his starting line-
up, and it undoubtedly will be
unknown until the opening
kickoff. In any event the Pir-
ates will be at top strength and
are expected to make Home-
coming a success by beating
High Point.
