For years members ot' the student body

W HAT-HAVE-YOU
in the April 8 issue of the State Magazine:
"Yes; Dr. Meadows has decided to step
down. But what about the trustees of the
college? Thej voted eight to four, to
exonerate the president. At their last meet-
ing, a i(solution was presented to this ef-
fect. This resolution, unless we are mis-
en had been prepared before1 the meeting
took place and before the evidence was sub-
mitted. It seems to us that a board of
trustees of any institution represent just as
iverful influence as does the president.

'l he heighl of inconsistency and revers-
al of position, in tin opinions of many, is
that evidenced by our president. Dr. Mead-
ows. Auditors stayed here about eight
months and he didn't satisfactorily explain
certain accounts for them. Then at the first
nie tine of the Board of Trustees, he said he
c uld i xplain and in three days made a list
of what he had spent : he "asked for the
resignati ns of four members, then dropped
the cha against them, he asked for re-
tirement, a1 the end of the school year
(August 31 and now he asks for immediate
retirement. What does all this mean?
Also concerning Dr. Meadows, it has
come to our attention that many students
feel that they were sold out" by the)
Governor, and by certain officials, in that
the handling of the special funds by Dr.
Meadows was not more fully investigated.
A1 first the Governor and other officials
. iblicly approved the action of the students
in ting such, and by all indications a
investigation by a positively
known tin I and unprejudiced body was
rhen Ir. Meadows announced
bis � irement, it gained official approval,
! nd continued investigation or judgment of
facts was apparently dropped. Many felt

haps now. those who have considered all ef-
f rts to clear up the matter lost will have

scummy scumming this issue, but we're ex-
hausted from all that snooping it took to
bring you the last eolyum. Anyway, we dug

Norwood with a bouquet of orchids. She's
been picked on just as much as anyone else,
and she's been mighty swell about it. In
the meantime, we're going to give her a little

looked so happy last week�could it have
been Mulholland�or better still, DeLoach?
So far, this hasn't been a lovelorn col-
umn, but recently we got this bit of corre-
spondence. It reads as follows: "Advice

ECTC. better known as the stronger sex of
the campus, hereby wish to state that they
would appreciate the cooperation of the ECTC
girls in following the rules of etiquette and
refrain from asking the wolves of the cam-
pus for dates. We agree that there is an
acute man shorta.ee (or boy shortage) and
alsc that this is leap year, but it is getting
pretty tiresome to have to hide behind your
favorite bush 13 to avoid being swamped by
date-seeking wolverettes. Remember your
popularity on the campus will be twice as
high if you let the wolves chase you instead
of your chasing the wolves. We remain
yours. THE WILSON HALL RAIDERS
With that word to the wise, we sign off

WITH THE ARMED
FORCES
By Rosalie Broun
Well. boys, it's good to be back after
missing an issue, but if you fellas don't get
that writers cramp out of your hand and
start letting us know what you are doing all
over the world. I shall have to take up knit-
ting, and I'm definitely not the domestic
type. So won't you write and tell us where
you are, what you are doing (if Uncle Sam
says it's O. K.) and that you still remember
your Alma Mater?
Some sure signs that we aren't forgot-
ten are the furlough visitors. Clinton
Joyner who is with the Army Medical
Corps stationed at Camp Lee, Va rated a
"210" (ten days) and has been very much
in evidence on the campus. "It feels good to
get back to ECTC even though I do have a
lot of competition with t h e Marines he
says. "but. being as I'm one of the lucky boys
stationed near home I'm able to get home
enough to keep my girl friend on the ball

The grape vine is truly a great system,
and that is practically the way I received
news of several of our boys. Recently a
letter came to the staff from 1st. Lt. Frank
W. Morris. Jr headed "Somewhere It
seems that Frank was inspired to write us
because of some back issues of this "sheet"
received from Stanley Scarborough whom
he had bumped into upon arrival at his new
station from another theatre of operation.
Stanley is now a sergeant in the military
police. Back to Frank's letter I quote,
"Stanley had five copies which he gave me,
and 1 must admit they made me a little home-
sick for old ECTC. The latest of the five was
dated December 15 and reading about the
Christmas dance, etc really reminded me of
some good old times. ECTC has been a con-
stant subject of conversation ever since I
came into combat last June 5. When I joined
the 68th Fighter Squadron on that date, who
should be the first person to meet me but
Bill Shelton (president of Men's Student
government '39-40) then a 1st. lieutenant
and now a major. Bill and I flew a lot of

here. In fact old ECTC has been running

Letters To The Editor
By Curtis Butler
Dear Editor:
The presence of a symphony orchestra
is a rare (much too rare) occasion on the
ECTC campus; so when we attend a con-
cert, it is much like going into a Mohamme-
dan mosque or attending a ball at the White
House. We really don't know exactly how
to conduct ourselves and we cannot easily
make a s e c r e t of it. By following a few
simple rules we can obtain quite a bit of ease
and self-confidence.
Of course, we should be attentive lis-
teners. Nothing can be more annonying
and disturbing to the music lovers than to
sit behind someone who continuously
squirms in his seat and carries on an end-
less chatter with his companion. This is
mere courtesy. And even though the
Cotton is king again! Out

seersucker, prints�your choice. My
you can't go wrong.
For classes the simple shirtwaist frock
of times gone by is still the best b i I
(Already you've proved the well-known
truth by making showings fresh from the
band box in cotton.) The tailored shirt
tucked in the big printed full skirt is cam-
pus costume, spring and summer. The cot-
ton suit in seersucker is always tops for
c 1 a s s e s. traveling or what-have-you.
Mademoiselle shows a beautiful (your man'll
think so too!) striped chambray suit with
white pique piping.
For classes, dates, dancing most any
Saturday night, nothing's better than a fit-
ted bodice with a full skirt. Skirts aren't
as twirlable as of last year but you'll find
some fetching numbers with gathered (some
gathers, that is) skirts dotted about in the
latest fashion Mags. Vogue recommends a
gorgeous hussy of a dress ; made of big bands
of green, sand, and blue gingham, the eye-
attracter has a fitted waist with the latest
cap sleeves, and a full skirt. For you Tall
Gals, Skinny, nothing could be better.

But if this evilest of all evils occurs, please

Be on time at the concert, if it is pos-

is necessary to leave early, wait until inter-

Mrs. Ritzy.) Would you leave the theater
after seeing only the comedy or the
reel or half the feature?
And, by all means, do not applause un-
til a complete symphony is played, lt is
absolutely wrong and discourteous to do
otherwise. The symphony is a musical com-
position made up of several movements and
should not be applauded until all is heard.

It was stormy that night, I remem-
ber, when we three members of the
scenery crew climbed the creaking
stairs to the third floor of Austin.
For a while, all went well; then, just
after I had sent the boys back down-
stairs for some lumber, I heard the
black-out signal Quickly, I flicked
off the light, and then, seeing, a
faint glow from far down the side
hall, I made my way toward it. grop-
i ing along the wall.
Past the interminable lines of
locked doors, down the long, shadowy
ball I went, my footsteps echoing
hollowly behind me. I reached the
end of the hall, turned the corner,
and snapped off tli last lights. Utter
darkness shrouded me like black
(
velvet, hot and stifling. I retraced
my steps, going more slowly now.
There seemed to DC something walk-
ing a little way behind me; I could
hear the faint, irregular rhythm of
footsteps. I stopped to listen. Not a
sound, and my straining eyes were
unable to pierce the blackness. I
started on again, my heart pounding.
Bast the little alcove leading to the
elevator where formless things wait-
ed to spring out upon me I crept, on
and on down a hall that seemed sud-
denly to have stretched out to twice
its length. The footsteps still fol-
lowed followed ell at once I stop-
ped anfl began to laugh. Of course,
they were only echoes of my footfalls
-hadn't I noticed the echo in that
hall not five minutes before?
Reassured, I made my way back to
the front hall, felt my way along the
wall to the platform we were build-
ing, and sat down.
Outside flashed the first sheet
lightning of the storm, and for a
moment every object in the hall stood
