American sentiment against Hitler
is pointed out in another way, this
time among college students of the
nation. The latest poll of the Stu-
dent Opinion Surveys of America
reveals an overwhelming majority
of students opposing the return to
Germany of the colonies taken from
her after the World War.
Although German colonial de-
mands have faded into the back-
ground while Mussolini's Tunisian
aspirat ions occupy the center of the
European stage. Hitler has many
times made it known that he will
accept no substitutes for territory.
Some observers believe Der Fueh-
rer desires the African colonies not
so much for their resources as for
new military bases.
Whatever Hitler's motives are,
American college students, mem-
bers of the group that supplied
many lighters for the last war. op-
pose the idea as shown by their
answers to the question, "Should
the colonies taken from Germany
after the World War be returned to

dents consistent in their opinions

A group of young men from
Wake Forest College were guest
speakers at. the Sunday evening
Vesper Services of the Young
Women's Christian Association at
the college last Sunday evening.
"The Christian Student was the
theme d' the program.
The Christian Student in the
Classroom" was discussed by Earl
Pearson. In the classroom, he said,
one must learn to he companionable
with the teacher and students. It
is necessary to have an open mind-
to be honest intellectually with
yourself.
"?The Christian Student and His
Roommate" was discussed by Rob-
ert Hart. He said that each student
must learn to live the best Chris-
tian life, to ereate the best Chris-
tian atmosphere that he can for his
roommate. If one is successful in
living with his roommate, he will
very likely be successful with the
people that he is associated with
after his college days.
James Yarnon concluded the pro-
gram, giving his views on the
"Christian Student and His Con-
victions. His first attribute of a
conviction was that it must be per-
sonal, and it must be dogmatic. He
named three convictions that are

Engel Lund Gives
Folk Song Recital
Engel Lund, presenting a pro-
gram of folk songs here, gave her
audience an insight into the folk
lore of many lands as she presented
this in the music which is typical
of the various countries.
Among the languages represent-
ed in the program which Miss Lund
?rave, there was only one of which
she is not the master, this one be-
ing Yiddish.
She does not, however, like to
sing in languages which she is un-
able to speak, and for this reason
rarely does so. Icelandic is her
native tongue, and besides this she
learned six other languages while
in undergraduate school in Den-
mark.
Folk songs are. Miss Lund be-
lieves, true to the country from
which they come. Many of those in
her collection she gathered from
their native settings. Others have
been sent to her and given to her
after performances.

His duties are to record the ac-

of two years which expires in 1941.
Dr. Flanagan was a charter mem-

in 1916 and the local chapter was
organized three years ago in 1936.

In Cleveland
President Leon R. Meadows and
Dr. Howard MeOinnis, registrar
of the college, attended the annual
meeting of the National Education

The main meeting consisted of
several parts. The division of the
American Association of Teachers
Colleges met February 24 and 25,

program was very good and there
was a great deal of interest mani-
fested
Two hundred exhibits of arti-
cles, processes, methods, and para-
phernalia, that may be used in the
classroom were shown. In addition
there were numerous demonstra-
tions of school work.
In all there were a total of two
hundred and fifty speakers on the
various programs which were held in
the city auditorium and the ad-
joining rooms.
The chief topics of discussion
were democracy and education, the
child of the future, meeting the
needs of education, under present
conditions, and better trained teach-
ers for better citizens.
The meetings were suitably in-
terspersed with excellent entertain-
ments by a large number of radio
stars who appeared before the audi-
ence from time to time and rend-
ered good programs.

Government elections which will he
held Tuesday, March 14.
Although the present constitution
contains no information garding
the question of whether a majority
or a plurality is necessary for elec-
tion, student government officers and
candidates have agreed that a ma-
jority vote for any one candidate
will be essential for election. In
view of these circumstances, campus
political observers are of the opinion
that a second race will be necessary
before the editor is selected.

Delay Necessary
In Music Festival
According to information re-
ceived from Dean Tabor the Music
Festival will be postponed to May
5 due to conflicts with different
high school programs in the state.
When asked about further de-
velopments in the music department,
Mr. Tabor stated that he was plan-
ning a joint recital by Hilda Tew,
contralto, and Jean Abeyounis, lyric
soprano, at the first part of next
quarter. A group of voice students
are working on several selections
from the opera, Maritana, and plan
to give a program of excerpts from
the opera in the near future. Stu-
dents helping with this are Maude
Melvin, Bo Kerr, and Hilda Tew,
directed by Mr. Tabor.
Mr. Tabor wished to announce
that any students interested in band
for next year see him. They are
starting a class in woodwind and
brass instruments. He is primarily
interested in freshman and sopho-
mores but needs more clarinet play-
ers from these classes.
Two new college songs, "Alma:
Mater" and Purple and Gold'
were introduced to the students at
the regular chapel period Tues-
day, March 7. The former, "Alma
Mater was written and arranged
by Harold A. McDougal, dire
tor of instrumental music at
Greenville High School, and a stu-
dent at East Carolina Teachers
College. "Purple and Gold, a pepl
song, was written by Dean C. Ta-
bor, head of the Music Department
at ECTC. and arranged for the
hand by Speiiee Hatley.
The words to the two songs fol-
low :
ALMA MATER
Praise to your name, so fair.
Dear old East Carolina.
Your joy we'll all share.
And your friends we'll always be.
We pledge our loyalty
And our hearts to devotion.
To thee, our Alma Mater.
Love and praise.
PURPLE AND GOLD
Marching onward, straight down
the field we go
Marching forward proudly to meet
the foe.
Halting never?forward forever,
For we're marching to victory.
Chorus:
For when the sons and daughters
of East Carolina
March with shoulders pressed close
together,
That's a certain sign there's always
fair weather
For our colors, the purple and the
gold.
For when we 're marching forward,
Keep close together,
Heads up high, through any old
weather;
For our college teams we 're march-
ing together,
Heading straight down the field to
victory.

Kiwanis Club
Hears McHenrv
Address
Mr. William 11. M ILnrv jn.ke
to the Greenville Kiwanis Club on
Friday. February 17. on the pur-
pose of Industrial Arts in educa-
tion.
According to Mr. McHenry,
education is a continuous process
of participation in a system of co-
operative living. Industrial Arts
as a subject for educative purposes,
is a study of changes made by man
in the forms of material to increase
their values, and the problems of
life related to those changes. The
nine objectives of Industrial Arts
according to Dr. Warner of. the
University of Ohio are as follows :
Exploration, general guidance,
household mechanics, avocations,
hobbies, social habits, and insight,
consumer's knowledge and apprecia-
tions, a degree of skill, correlation
or integration, and vocational pur-
poses. Mr. McHenry further stated
the divisions of Industrial Arts and
explained to the club members some
of the work done by NTA workers
under his direction here at the col-
lege.

III TV I? A PRIVILEGE
Within the next few days, students of this college will go to the polls to
choose officers for the ensuing year. The editors and business managers of
both campus publications, and leading members of the Men's and Women's
Student Government Associations will be elected at this time.
In past years, slightly more than half of the members of the Student
Body have shown enough interest in the affairs of this college to cast their
and the students
in exercising the
we I
importance to the college,
as a privilege to enjoy
votes. Tins election is of vita
have a duty to perform
right to vote.
Not only does the effectiveness of any democratic form of government
depend upon the mass of citizens exercising the privilege of suffrage, but
also relies to a large degree upon the intelligence with which that duty
i- performed.
It is only through intelligent voting that the functions of the Student
Body of East Carolina Teachers College can he made indicative of the
will of the majority of its citizens.

was meant in the resolution requesting "the restoring of the dancing privi-
lege but as the matter stands now. no satisfactory action has been taken
on this authentic request from the Student Body.
This Teco Echo suggests that another mass meeting lv called imme-
diately and that the students repeat this request for the restoration of a
wholesome, unabused privilege.

Dr. C. O. Williams delivered an
address on the "History of the De-
velopment of the Phi Sigma Pi Fra-
ternity mentioning that one of its
founders. Dr. E. L. Hendricks, had
recently died.
Student Worker
?THANK VOL, SO MUCH
A word of hearty commendation is in order for the Administration of
this college and the dining hall authorities for the improvement in the
quality and preparation of meals served recently. This manner of meeting
the students more than half-way on the part of the college authorities is
a source of satisfaction to discerning students.
Members of the student body are of the opinion that there has been a
decided improvement in the food situation. The task of serving a thousand
persons t day is a difficult one, and those individuals charged with that
responsibility riehlv deserve a tribute from students in the words of a
popular song
Thank You. So Much
EYES ON THE PURSE STRINGS
In the interest of democratic student government, the suggestion that
the appropriations made by the Budget Committee be approved by the
Student body as a whole is especially pertinent.
Under the old Constitution, a committee was created to divide the
funds derived from Student Activity Fees and make apportionments to
the various agencies carrying on the work of the Student Body. Under that
set-up, the action by the committee was final. There was no opportunity
given to the entire student body to discuss and directly determine to what
use their money was put.
It is an established fact that a committee must be used to perform the
detailed work of financial appropriations, but there is no democratic
reason why the action of a small committee should be final.
This point is one which can be referred to the members of that com-
mittee now working on a new constitution for the Student Body with
the admonition that in a democracy every individual has the right to a
voice and vote in determining how his government spends his money.

The speaker congratulated those
present for having taken Home
Economics and stated that they were
unable to meet the demand for well-
trained Home Economics teachers.
"The greatest service that Home
Demonstration Work has ever ren-
dered was opening the way for girls
to attend college financed through
loans by the clubs Mrs. Smith

As a challenge to those going out
in the field of Home Economics, the
supervisor urged that the girls "give

MUSIC STOCK GOING IIP!
Recent contributions by the Music Department to the enjoyment and
activity of the entire student body are worthy of commendable note. In
addition to furnishing a hand and classical orchestra, members of the
Music Department have written an Alma Mater and a "fight" song to
add much to the expression of school spirit.
The student body appreciates the initiative and progressive activity
of this phase of college life.

If we don't they say we are ado-

If we publish original matter they
say we lack variety;
If we print tilings from other col-

If we are out rustling news we

If we are not out rustling news
we are not attending to business.
If we don't print contributions we

If we do print them the paper is

Gaiety and laughter is in the air,
and Paris sends you some more
spring news. Sparkling eyes peeping
up at you from under saucy little
hats that are made from most every-
thing and almost nothing. Perhaps
you would like a jaunty, flat draped
silk jersey sailor hat, or perhaps
you prefer. Mademoiselle, a bit of
white silk wound in a flat circle and
topped with a big cluster of black
velvet bows? Everywhere they're
swathing the face and neck in veils,
and some of the veils even fall almost
to your waist. If you prefer felts, you
can get one of the new ones ranging
in color from natural to burnt tones.
Sailors, with slightly turned up
brims are heralds of spring. Crowns
are shallow in front and high to-
wards the back.
For evening, when you're dancing,
wear a mantilla of lace. Your evening
dress for less formal wear, can be
made of enchanting light cottons,
pique, dotted Swiss, organdy, or even
linen if you like a tailored evening
dress. They are so fresh looking and
simple to keep that way. So when
you buy your new Easter evening
dress, choose one of cotton if you
want to be ultrasmart.

POLITICAL NOTICE: This
column is all for Harvey Deal as
Editor of next year's Tecoan. It may
be a bit on the radical side, but nev-
ertheless we shall back young Deal.
UNPOLITICAL NOTICE :
Whoever can stand this column past
this column inch is doing so on his
own responsibility and we assume no
responsibility.
Mr. Deal spoke to the Poe Society
at its meeting last night. Officers for
the coming year were nominated.
Work on the new building being
constructed at East Carolina Teach-
ers College was halted last week by
heavy rains. By the end of last week
the water was over a foot deep in
some places, bringing work to an ab-
solute standstill.
Laborers were temporarily dis-
missed until weather permits further

Coach Lucille Norton's Pirate
Lassies capped a perfect cage season
last Saturday night when thev
downed the College of Charleston on
the enemy territory with a score of
32-25. This was the East Caro-
linians fifth win out of five starts,
chalking up for them a seasonal
percentage of 1000.
Nosing out an early lead, the Sea
Roverettes kept just ahead of the
South Carolinians during the first
quarter, but as the second period
rolled around they gradually pulled
away from their hosts and at inter-
mission, the score read 17-0.
It was in the third quarter that
offensive tactics by both teams werel
brought to an almost complete stand-)
still, the defensive walls of both
teams nearly impenetrable. The in-
vaders' defense yielded two field
goals, while the Charleston bulwark-
blocked all field shots and yielded
only one point on a free throw. With
the score reading 18-13 at the open-
ing of the final period, both aggre-
gations staged a scoring marathon
which raged for the entire quarter
with the East Carolinians emerging
victors at the final whistle 32-25.
Jenkins, of Charleston, led the
floor in scoring honors, gathering 15
tallies, followed closely by Eileen
Tomlinson's total of 14. 'Hopkins
rang second for the Lady Bucs with
10 and Kim Tomlinson' and Butler
chalked up 4 points each.
Coach Norton used ten players
to take her second victory of the
year over the girls of the historic
city. The Charlestonians played
eight. The Teachers made 24 of their
points by the field goal route, vield-
ing only eight field goals to "their
foes.

With the coming of spring,
secretary is anxious to have some
new Alumnae Chapters organized.
She urges that any school, town
or county with as many as ten
graduates of this college meet and
start a unit of our Alumnae As-
sociation. If any help is needed in
the organization the secretary will
be glad to come at any time and
assist as much as she can. Com-
mencement will he here soon and of
course all alumnae are expected
hack for that occasion, and every-
one will be happy to hear reports
from new chapters as well as the
old. So, call your fellow graduates
together and even if you do not meet
but once or twice a year, from a local
unit, and help our college to grow
by keeping a wide awake Alumnae
Association.

Meeting of Christian Associations
Terminates In Racial Alliance
One of the most significant con-
ferences in the history of the YM-
YWCA of North Carolina was held
in Durham, Sunday, February 26,
at the North Carolina College for
Negroes. Its significance lies in the
fact at this meeting the YM-YWCA
joined the Negro YM-YWCA, mak-
ing it one international movement.
Brooks Patten, president of the
state YM-YWCA presided over the
meeting, with the teY" organizations
of the North Carolina College for
Negroes acting as hosts to the dele-
gates from fifteen colleges over the
state. The morning session began
with a Worship Service conducted
by Jack Price of State College, as-
sisted by delegates from Shaw Uni-
versity.
Mr. Kirby Page, a lecturer, an
author, and a recognized authority
on the economical political condition
of the world today, addressed the
group twice, at the morning session
and at the afternoon meeting. In
his morning address, "Why so Con-
temporary Civilizations so Des-
perately Sink?" he set forth the
ailments of the sick civilization as
suggested remedies which he thought
would bring about a better spiritual
and physical world. "Religious
Resources for Personal Living and
Socialization" was the topic for his
afternoon address.

Emma Sicktoo Confined to Infirmary
And Life Takes On New Cargo of Worry
By LOIS HUGHES
Emma Sicktoo finally had to give
in to her feelings. The flu had its
hold. She was destined to go to the
infirmary.
"Don't mind the thought of miss-
ing only a week comforted her
roommate. "You won't have any
trouble making up the lessons you'll
miss. Just rest and forget every-
thing, even Jack. He doesn't really
like that red-head. He just goes
with her when you are not around
So Emma went to the infirmary
for rest and rest is what she got.
From morning until night, she was
kept in a spotlessly white bed, fed
fruit juices, and given pills regular-
ly, very regularly. When the num-
ber amounted to twenty, she slyly
washed them down the sink.
"Rest" her roommate said, so
Emma slept all afternoon, but when
night came?Oh! for a glass of
Ovaltine! Xow she knew the truth
of those advertisements.
A few days later, Emma walked
into the "Y" store to find her room-
mate and learn all the news.
