WAA Ask Council
For Appropriation
Penny Smith, representing the
Woman's Athletic association, pre-
sented a report and asked for an ap-
propriation to the WAA to cover
wear on and replacement of their
equipment used daring the recrea-
tional hour on Sunday afternoon, at
the Student Cooperative council meet-
ing November 1.
She gave an estimate of the damage
done to the equipment and said that
the WAA did not feel that it was
their duty to bear this expense. After
some discussion a motion was made
and carried that Fenny take the re-
port to the treasurer and ask for an
appropriation.

ject "Character and Foundation of
Christian Education
Dr. Petry said a Christian educa-
tion is a means by which we live a
little higher�a little better. He gave
the functions of Christian education,
which are as follows: A means to help
us bring together different fields of
education; to help us to learn that
we never gain truth unless we com-
mit ourselves; to be worshipful in a
very mysterious world; and to ap-
preciate great resources of Christian
literature.

The Columbia All-Star Opera quar-
tet, which gave a concert here Fri-
day, November 3, as the first of the
major entertainments this year, ap-
peared before an audience of approxi-
mately eight hundred students and
teachers in the Wright auditorium.
It was composed of Josephine Tumi-
nia. colorature soprano; Donald
Dame, tenor; Helen Olheim, mezzo-
soprano; and Walter Cassel, baritone.
The program began with the quar-
tet from Rigoletto "Bella figlia dell
'amore by Verdi. A group ofduets
followed with Mr. Dame and Mr.
Cassel beginning them with "The
Very Thought of Money from The
Barber of Seville by Rossini. Miss
Tuminia and Mr. Cassell then sang
next "Piangi fanciulla also from
Rigoletto.
The famous Barcarolle from "The
Tales of Hoffman by Offenback, was
presented by Miss Olheim and Mr.
Dame; and the duet selections were
brought to a close with the singing
of "Sous le dome epais" from Lakme,
by Delibos, by Miss Tuminia and
Miss Olheim. The first half of the
program concluded with the Spinning
Wheel Quartet from "Martha by
Flotow.
After a brief intermission the con-
cert was continued with the singing
the Messager Donkey Duet by
Miss Olheim and Mr. Cassell. Next
a group of solos was sung by the
four artists. Mr. Dame's selection
was "Le Reve" from Manon, by
Massenet. Miss Olheim offered her
rendition of The Song of Khivira, by
Moussorky. A duet from the Verdi
opera "La Traviata Parigi o Cara,
sung by Miss Tuminia and Mr. Dame
followed. Miss Tuminia's solo selec-
tion of the evening was the colora-
ture aria, "Shadow Song" from
Dinorah, by Meyerbeer. Mr. Cassell
sang the "Prologue" from Pialiacci
by Leoncavalla. The program was
brought to an end by the quartet ar-
rangement of the sextet from "Luci

Dr. Howard J. McGinnis, acting
president, met yesterday at 5:96 p.m.
with Mayor George W. Davis of
Farmville, SenatorsA. B. Corey and
Sam O. WorthingtOfl of Greenville.
and Mr. John Clark, Pitt county cam-
paign manager for Hon. Gregg
Cherry, for the purpose of acquaint-
ing these men with the need for ex-
pension of the college plant and addi-
tions to the staff. Dinner was served
by the home economics department at
!6:30.
A request will be presented to the
State Legislature in January for
funds to provide for six additional
teachers for the school year 1 45-46,
for a dean of the college, a director
of practice teaching and a director of
public relations and student welfare,
and for five additional teachers for
the school year 1946-47.
"We hope the Legislature may I e
convinced of our need for the I �
buildings requested and for the addi-
tions to the staff for which we �
asking stated Dr. McGinnis.
Looking forward to a decided in-
crease in enrollment after the war,
the administration feels the need for
broadening the scholastic program and
broadening the opportunities in the
various departments of the college.
This will necessitate acquiring addi-
tional teachers in order to be ade-
quately prepared to serve the students
best.
A dean of the college will act some-
what as' would a vice-pre.sident; he
will relieve the president of many
minor tasks and duties and leave the
president free to devote his full time
to his duties as president.
A director of practice teaching and
placement will serve as a rdina-
tor of the entire practice teaching
program.
According to Dr. McGinnis the di-
rector of public relations and student
welfare would have charge of the
news bureau and would serve as pub-
licity manager for the college. He
would also serve as a "recruiting �
ficer" for prospective students.
'T am very much interested in ra-
ting the college publicized favors
in this critical year when w art look-
ing forward to expanding our pro-
gram and launching out constructive-
ly to make the college an instrument
of larger educational service to the
State explained Dr. McGinnis.
The six additional teacht n re-
quested for lH45-4ti will include an
instructor In industrial art. one or
two instructors in physical education
and one or two music teachers.

sented to the Advisory Budget i

DR. RAY C. PETRY
Alpha Sigma Selects
New Fraternity Pin
A fraternity pin was selected by
members of Alpha Sigma fraternity
at a special meeting October 31.
The group selected a pin that seems
to symbolize best the ideals of the
fraternity. A deadline was set for
November 14, for mailing the order.
Dr. Ray C. Petry, who was the
speaker for Religious Emphasis
week, received his A. B. degree from
Manchester college, and his A. M
and Ph. D. degrees from the Univers-
ity of Chicago.
After the completion of his gradu-
ate degrees in 1932, Dr. Petry had a
year's experience in social service
work in the city of Chicago, after
which he taught at McPherson col-
j lege. As head of the Department of
j religion in this institution he was in-
I timately associated with young
I people's organizations as well as with
i the Rocky Mountain regional work
in the Student Christian movement.
Upon coming to Duke university in
1937 he assumed duties both in the
Divinity school (as assistant profes-
sor of church history), and as a mem-
ber of the undergraduate teaching
staff in the department of religion.
Since 1940, Dr. Petry has been
supervisor of freshman instruction in
religion in Trinity college of Duke
university. At present, he is associ-
ate professor of church history in the
Divinity school. His work has in-
volved not only the field of personal
relations but also that of writing and
lecturing on social issues. A num-
ber of articles, as well as his recent
book, "Francis of Assisi have been
concerned with Christian conceptions
and activities.

More Variety Desired
In Major Entertainments
For the past few years there has been a
tendency for the Entertainment committee
to schedule only opera singers, ballet dancers,
concert pianists and other "high-brow" en-
tertainers for the main attractions of the
year.
Perhaps this is the reason for the poor
attendance at these programs. There should
be more variety in the types of entertain-
ments, rather than have the same types each
year. We are not criticizing the selection of
opera singers, etc but we feel that there is
a need for other forms of entertainments
also.
For example. Charlie Spivak and his
orchestra came here three or four years ago,
and a tremendous turn-out of students re-
sulted. At least one entertainment of this
nature should be scheduled each year.
As a solution to the problem of poor at-
tendance at the major attractions of the
year we suggest that there be more variety
in the types of programs.
Expansion Aims Depend
On Favorable Publicity
Kvidence that the college officials are
"looking forward to a decided increase in en-
rollment after the war is shown by the an-
nouncement by Dr. McGinnis that eleven ad-
ditional teachers an dthree more members
for the administrative staff will be requested
when the State Legislature meets in
January.
These few weeks between now and the
time the request is presented to the Legisla-
ture will be critical times for the college.
Tht college must be publicized as favorably
as possible during this period. It will be
necessary for the students and faculty to
work in close harmony to impress the
legislators anil citizens of the State in such
a way as to make them see the need for
granting our requests.
East Carolina Teachers college is rated
highly as a teachers college. With the neces-
sary additions made to the faculty, to the
college plant and to the administration, and
with the close cooperation of everyone con-
cerned ECTC can hold the first-place rank.
Lei's all strive to make it so!
i5tmtpathij
The faculty and student body of East
Carolina Teachers college wish to extend
their sincerest sympathy to Mr. and Mrs.
John R. Marine in the death of their
daughter. Janice.
We deeply regret the loss of one of our
fellow students.

Need For Participation
In Intercollegiate Sports
�ft
There has been some talk about having
intercollegiate basketball this year. If it is
at all possible to do so, it would be a very
definite help to the sports program.
Of course, intercollegiate sports have
been greatly hampered by the war; however,
many schools have managed to continue their
sports programs, and we should like to see
ECTC fall in line.
The problem of getting money for
transportation seems to be the bottleneck at
present. Before the war this was taken
care of by an appropriation by the budget
committee from the student activity fee.
Since intercollegiate sports are a vital
part of most college programs, we feel it is
only fair that ECTC be given an opportunity
t resume its place in the college sports
world.
Memorial Planned
For Christenbury
Dr. W. S. DeLoach
Mr. O. A. Hankner
Mr. J. B. Cummings
Miss Lois Grigsby
Mrs. Agnes Barrett
It seems fitting and appropriate that
some sort of recognition be given by our col-
lege for the fine spirit and service rendered
to the college by John B. Christenbury. who
was a member of our faculty in the Depart-
ment of Health and Physical Education dur-
ing the years 1940 to 1943.
Will you please serve on a Committee to
decide upon some appropriate memorial in
honor of Mr. Christenbury. Mr. Christen-
bury was probably one of the most popular
persons who ever served on our faculty. He
had a most wholesome influence on the stu-
dents, and his eheefulness was an inspira-
tion to all who knew him.
Respectfully.
Howard J. McGinnis, President.

the room at the northwest end of
Austin (whore the "Y" store now is)
could be used for delivering mail.
From there the P. 0. was moved
