CHIcAeo + BOSTON - Los ANGELES * Sam FRARCISCO We Need Your Cooperation In Our Undertaking Recently it became necessary for the Teco Echo to put a stop to having the staff room used as an eating place for soft drinks, candies, buns and other things purchased from the college soda shoppe. We are asking members of the student body in a nice way to cooperate with us, as the failure to do this may bring insults. We want students to feel at home in the staff room and ap-| preciate visits by any member of the student body. Many of them, however, felt too much at home. They spilled soft drinks on the | tables, threw their trash on the tloor, and left the room resembling a pig pen. : ot In the first place sweets attract flies and flies are disturbing and unhealthy. In the second place it makes the room unattractive. | and unattractive rooms fail to impress students and visitors. And, in the third place we don’t appreciate visits from students who do not respect our working quarters. We are determined to keep the staff room clean during the coming school year. If you are not the type of person to help us keep it clean, then we take this means of politely asking you to stay out. Twelve Years Without An Accident Paul T. Ricks. who conducts educational tours throughout | the United States and Canada, all of which are good for college credit, is entering his thirteenth year in this type of service to students and faculty of East Carolina Teachers College. He is to be congratulated, as not one of his many busses has been in- volved in a personal injury during this period. Recently Mr. Ricks declared. “Ninety per cent of all accidents can be avoided if the drivers are careful.” And that sums up his attitude relative to employing drivers for his busses. When one of his drivers gets under the wheel of a truck he realizes that he has many lives in his hands, and that being careless in one split second might cause the loss of a life or serious permanent injury to one of the occupants of the bus. The beginning of the Summer session will mark another trip to Canada by students of F Carolina Teachers College. Each one making the trip can rest assured that he will travel safely, as safety is the keynote of Mr. Ricks’ service. You are to be con- gratulated for the splendid record that you have made, Mr. Ricks, and may your busses travel through the years without an accident. A Real Treat For All Members Of The Student Body One of the policies of the staff of the Teco Echo during the ensuing school year will be to better serve the interests of East Carolina Teachers College. Our first step in this direction was working out details whereby a nationally-circulated and beautiful- ly illustrated magazine will be distributed weekly and free of cost to all members of the student body. The magazine, to be known as the ECTC Cavalier, will be representative of campus life in colleges and universities through- | out the United States. East Carolina Teachers College was one of the schools chosen to be represented in*the magazine. Editors of | newspapers in the selected schools will supervise the handling of copy for the publication from their respective schools. Each week the magazine will honor some college editor and also some college or university in the United States. It is illustrat- | ed on some pages in natural color and contains photographs, short | stories, college humor and other types of material that tend to} foster reading entertainment for the average college student. The | magazine is being edited by college students in order to add to its reader interest Your first issue of the ECTC Cavalier will come off the press in September and it is planned to have East Carolina Teachers College represented in that issue. Anyone having orig such as poems, short stories and photographs, bring the Teco Echo. i \ inal material, | or send it to Your Future Isn’t Any Too Bright, Seniors Soon some 160 members of the Senior class will march across the stage of Robert H. Wright Memorial auditorium and be grant- ed diplomas, which represent four years of hard work and sacri- fice of both time and money. But the future they face is shrouded by the darkest clouds in the history of the school for students em- barking upon their life work. Perhaps this assertion gives the impression of being some- what strong, but an examination of the facts at hand will reveal that we have put it rather mildly. The majority of this year’s graduates will enter the teaching profession, as the majority of graduates of East Carolina Teachers College find jobs in the field of teaching, but they are confronting a situation more grave than any other graduates of the have ever faced—the European con- flict. Many will be inclined to ask, “How is the war in Europe go- ing to affect teaching in the United States 2” Off-hand no one can answer this question, as no one knows what the outcome of the war will be. If the axis partners win the war our relations with the countries South of us will become stronger, a change in the economic setup and standards of living in the United States will take place, and a change in the nation’s educational system likely will be realized. If a graduating class ever needed courage, this year’s class at East Carolina Teachers College, and those of all other colleges and universities in the United States need it. Your best tool in over- coming any obstacles that lie ahead is your education. Your knowledge will enable you to meet changing conditions. But a possibility exists of your finding problems that may have to go unsolved. Come what may the staff of the Teco Echo wishes for each of you all the success in your chosen field of endeavor that life has to offer. We hope you will maintain the same high ideals in your | about Rudolph Hess Harold K. Taylor See ence enc en encen em cencane en en an en encenvencenceoent! Still the flood of debate concerning the convoy issue is sweep- ing the nation as the world crisis becomes acute. Millions of hot words streamed out over the radio, at street corners, at country filling stations, and in the schools of the nation. We all wonder exactly how Great Britian stands at the present time, but none of us know. We do feel that she needs our munitions and that she needs the help of our navy to convoy them to her. The president a few weeks ago came out in an open statement that he did not favor an American convoy but since that time the public has been talking. Now, since he has found out what the public thinks, he may take a different viewpoint on the matter. Millions of letters and telegrams have flowed into his office in the last few days, many of them sent by the isolationist groups who are trying to keep him from changing his mind about the convoys. At last North Carolina’s junior senator, Robert R. Reynolds, whose isolationist record caused much opposition to his expected succession to the Senate Military Affairs Committee chairmanship has taken his place as the committee’s chairman. He has lately started switching around, speaking privately of the need for much greater aid for Britian. Since the morning of May 11, thousands of different opinions in this country. German spokesmen say that Hess was mentally deranged, but the British say that he seems to be as sane as any person living in Germany might be. It was generally believed that Hess was forced to leave to save his neck when he violently dis- agreed with Hitler concerning the Russian policy. Hess belonged to the Nazi group which disliked cooperation with Russia, and in the Moscow treason trial of January 1937 had been named as the German who plotted with Trotsky to overthrow Stalin. Some of these days the high-up Nazi will start talking and probably wont know when to stop. The bold governor of North Carolina, J. Melville Broughton, lost no time in naming his choice of a person to succeed the late Representative Lon Folger as National Committeeman. Brough- ton named former Governor Clyde R. Hoey, and immediately friends of Richard J. Reynolds. millionaire tobacco manufacturer |" Mi of Winston-Salem, announced that he was also in the race. This is the first time in the history of the state that a governor came out and selected a man to run for the position. A hot campaign will be in pr until the state executive committee of 126 members meets this week to vote for the successor. A war must be financed and even though we are not directly in the war, it has caused us to increase the national deb which may within a year or so exceed ninety Billion dollars. With- in the last year the income tax on a salary of $4000 has increased from $70.40 to $312.40, or 393¢¢. Since 1929 the income tax for married persons drawing this salary has increased 16,606 %. This goes to prove that the small salaried man is being taxed as heavily or heavier as the man with the big salary. ? What Freedom For American Students Adoption of a “Bill of Rights” for college students was urged in a report published by the Committee on Academic Freedom of the American Civil Liberties Union, after a study of the degree of freedom permitted to students in 111 leading colleges and uni- versiaties revealing, according to the committee. ‘fan astonishing | degree of diversity in the colleges surveyed.” In spite of “conditions increasingly favorable to student free- dom in a majority of colleges,” the committee declared that most colleces have no clear definition of student freedom, and no writ- ten charter defining students’ rights. Published as a forty-eight- »age pamphlet entitled “What Freedom for American Students sent out to more than 1,000 colleges, the committee’s report at- temots to set up certain standards for what it terms a “Student Bill ef Rights’, covering the following points: 1. “The policy of every college in relation to student activi- ties outside the classroom should be set forth in definite terms, and accepted by the college community. 2. “A college’s stated policy should make it clear that stu- dents are free to organize associations for political, religious. social and other purposes. 3. “Student associations should be permitted to take the name of the college and to use their names in all activities on col- | lege property consistent with the purposes of the various organi- zations. : 4. “The use of college property outside its primary use for instruction should be made available to any registered student organization carrying out its stated purpose. 5. “As a general principle no control should be exercised by college authorities over the subjects or outside speakers chosen hy student groups. f. should be chosen or approved by the students themselves. 7. “No disciplinary action should be taken against students for engaging in activities off the campus, provided such students do not claim to be representing the college. 8. “College students should be permitted to publish such newspapers or magazines as they wish, subject to provisions for revistering with college authorities the name, purposes, a n d editors. 9. “The boards or committees of students responsible for each publication should be free to select editors without control by the college authorities or faculty. 10. “The successful systems of student government should be extended to all college.” In spite of a lack of definite policy on the part of collere administrations, the committee declared that most colleges permit students to form all sorts of organizations without discrimination. A minority of colleges show some form of discrimination, pres- a or prohibition against radical groups with national affilia- ions. “There is more direct control over the college press—via fa- culty advisers, censorship, appointment of editors and the power to remove them—than over any other student activity.” Among the issues which have caused students to clash with college administrations during the past five years, the survey cites student peace strikes, opposition to compulsory military training. activities of the American Student Unon and student 'beral clubs, censorship of the college press, prohbitions against the invitation by students of radical or pacifist speakers, and participation by students in strikes or poltical campaigns off the campus. The committee urged on all colleges the adoption of a form of student government such as is in force at a number of the schools surveyed. It warned, however, of “a practice which has developed in recent years of using democractic machinery to con- trol certain student organization through a disciplined and de- termined minority. These tactics—associated almost exclusively with students under the influence of the Communist Party—are difficult to combat, for they exploit democractic procedure. The future associations with others that the college has emphasized during your stay here. best antidote to them is not repression, but a strong bloc of stu- dents determined to resist minority conrol.” strange landing in England have been argued | “Where they are considered advisable, faculty advisers | THE TECO BCHO ss caidiaaieiia Watching The World co s CLUB NEWS ——_———————————————————— At its last regular meeting Tuesday night, the Forensic /Club elected officers and ar- ranged to assist in Orientation week.
