since the four-year course was in-
stalled a few years ago.
The first M.A. degrees ever given
in the history of the school in the
fields of history and physical educa-

awarded to men students by the col-

Farley in the field of physical edu-
cation and Charles Wooten in the
field of history.
President Leon B. Meadows made
the commencement address which
was centered around four important
points: economic, democratic, char-
acter and changing trends in the
population of today. Each was de-
scribed as being dependent upon the

Amuses Audience
With Humorous
Contrast of Science
and Literature
Dr. William Lyon Phelps of Yale
University, famous educator and
author, spoke last Saturday evening
to a large number of E TC students
and many outside guests. Dr. Phelps,
often called "Dr. Billy was intro-
duced to the audience by President
Meadows who was a student under
him at Yale.
The theme of his talk, "The Ro-
mance of Science and the Truth of
Fiction was handled well by the
speaker. He spiced a very interesting
subject with personal experiences and
anecdotes, some relative to his sub-
jects and others extrinsic. He empha-
sized the fact that science is steadily
changing; whereas, fiction, true fic-
tion, remains unchanged in a pro-j
greasing civilization. He stated that
a novel by Charles Dickens, expos-
ing the customs and habits of human!
nature, is accepted today as readily!
as it was when it was written;
whereas, Darwin's "Origin of Spe-
cies has been antiquated by the dis-
coveries and progress of modern
science.
He warned his audience that mod-
ern civilization was beginning to ac-
climate itself to the marvels of sci-

Within the past two weeks, two business organizations of Green-
ville have given special favors to the students of East Carolina
Teachers College, which tie closer the bonds of better understand-

their deepest appreciation to Roses and to the Pitt Theatre for

on registration day while she wan-
ders in a strange building filled with
strange people doing strange things.
What does she put on those blank

little heart gives another bound

she sees a boy holding blue cards.
Oh goodness, if she has the wrong
cards, what will she do?

sign which says Information

years.
Before going to Middleton, Miss
McElwain taught in Troy, Ohio,
for three years.
She completed work for her Mas-

Miss McElwain did undergraduate

A variety of new material has en-
abled Coaches O. A. Hankner and
Gordon Gilbert to mould what ap-
pears to be one of the best football
squads in the history of East Caro-
lina Teachers College.
Many of the newcomers are trans-
fers and are experienced gridders,
which make them more capable of
handling key positions on the squad.
Some of the new hopefuls still need
practice, but they are developing at a
fast clip.
Hill Davidson of Plymouth, who
saw much action with Belmont Ab-
bey, was slated to help the Pirates in
their game-winning tactics. However,
he broke a bone of an already injured
leg in Tuesday afternoon drills and
probably will have to remain out of
the line-up for the remainder of the
season.
Jack McJunkin of Asheville, who
played two years of football and
baseball with Wake Forest, is fast
becoming an outstanding baekfield
threat and is slated to see much ac-
tion as the season progresses.
Dick Dodder was a member of
the varsity at Appalachian State
Teachers College and is confining
his efforts to the center division. Bill
Merner, regular center, is nursing
an injured leg.
Ambrose Stankus was a member
of the Campbell College squad for
two years and will probably be pitted
against his former colleagues when
the Pirates clash with Campbell here
tomorrow afternoon.
Irving Poliakoff of Kinston, a
190-pound tackle, has aided consid-
erably in reinforcing the Pirates'
line. Irving made a name for himself
as a member of the Kinston High
School team.
Paul E. Waldrop of Elizabeth
City, who was a quarterback for two
years on the Elizabeth City High
School team, is making an effort to
become a mainstay on the Pirate
squad. Paul is a freshman and still
has plenty of time to fulfill his var-
sity hopes.
Richard Chadwick, a transfer
from Elon, tips the scales in the
175-pound division and is a serious
baekfield threat. Chadwick is a soph-
omore and will likely see much ac-
tion during the season.
John Glover, who tried out for the
team two years ago, is seeking a
berth. John says he's a guard by
tradition and a baekfield man by am-
bition. Other newcomers include:
Waylan Tucker, Greenville, guard,

Plans Are Mapped
For Intramural
Athletics
Program Will
Get Under Way
Immediately
Plans have already been mapped
for an extensive intramural pro-
gram on the campus this fall and
Coach O. A. Hankner and Miss
Helen McElwain will begin their
work in this type of recreation in
the immediate future.
Coach Hankner said that even
though some boys on the campus are
not majoring in physical educa-
tion, they will be eligible to serve as
managers for different teams in the
intramural program.
Badminton, volley-ball, tennis,
horseshoes and touch football will
be among the indoor and outdoor
sports that will he offered to boys
on the campus. Coach Hankner said
that other sports probably would be
offered. !
Although Miss McElwain has not
made any definite plans for the in-
tramural program for the girls, she
intimated that she would follow the
program already outlined by the
Woman's Athletic Association, with
the view of making adjustments if
needed.
The coaches will supervise the pro-
gram for the girls and boys, but
selecting teams and other arrange-
ments will be placed in the hands of
the intramural staff.

executed a pass that was good for a
30-yard gain and a touchdown. An-
other pass, Cappaeio to Eister, pro-
duced the final tally. Extra point
doings at this stage were thwarted by
the Pirates' Adrian Brown.
Apparently inactive because of a
journey that had taken them over

get the resolution you made about

?whereabouts and activities.
The position of Alumni Secretary
and Field Worker has not keen

lias been seriously handicapped inj
that we hare been able to contact so
few of the Alumni, but now that you'
know (he position has not been tilled
I am depending on each of you to;
give the matter much thought and!
publicity. Please sead me the names
of persons who might be interested.
This position is a golden oppor-

?in either case, write Miss Grace
Smith, Greenville, N. C, recording
secretary of the Alumni Association,
and your request will receive prompt
attention. I know of no better way
to keep in touch with the college
and your friends there than the Tbco
Echo, and I urge each one who does
not take the paper to do so.
I have set as one of my goals this
year, the organization of ten new
Alumni chapters in the state. 2uw
you realize just how much I believe
in you and how much faith I have
in the enthusiasm you showed at
Commencement. Contact the Alumni
in your community and let me hear
from you. I might be able to help?
I'm sure I'd like an opportunity to
try. Let's see what community will
be the first to announce the organi-
zation of a chapter.
I shall use the Teco Echo to keep
you informed about the plans made
for the association, so don't miss a
copy. Sincerely,
Elizabeth Stewart Bennett,

ber of sandspurs has been reduced.
A cement walk has been laid to re-
place the gravel paths in the circle
around the fountain on the east
campus. The bleachers have been
repainted and are ready for use at
the first football game. The road
around the power house to the Sci-
ence building has been laid with
cement. A new truck for general
use around the campus has been
purchased.
Although much has been accom-
plished during the summer, Mr.
MacHenry says that there is much
more to be done and that he feels
glad that he has been able to keep
"his head above water" the past
summer and to complete what he
started.

News Brief
Miss Williams has a problem that
might well puzzle even mathematics
majors.
She slept in Greenville each night
July 20, 21, and 22, in spite of the
fact that July 21 and 22 she was on
the road on the 816-mile drive, across
part of three states, to her home.
The answer is that she spent the
night of July 20 in Greenville, North
Carolina; the night of July 21 in
Green(e)ville, Tennessee; and the
night of July 22 in her home in
Greenville, Kentucky.
