In previous years the Varsity Club Sweetheart has been pre- sented at the Annual Varsity Club play. This is the third year that the Varsity Club has had a sponsor, the first being Jean Wendt of Wilmington, N. C., and the second was Frances Roebuck of Washington, N. C. This year’s sweetheart was chosen last week by members of the Varsity Club but the re- sults of the election have been kept a secret, in fact not even the Varsity Club members are sure who it is. Your reporter is junable to give you the name of the winner but it was a very close race and the new sweet- heart won her title by a few votes only. The 1942 Sweetheart will be presented at exactly 10:30 and she will be awarded a certifi- |cate making her an honorary member of the Varsity Club and sponsor for all of the clubs ac- | tivities.

In many cases, GHS students have friends at ECTC whom they have met at beaches, in homes and at conventions in previous years. “To forbid friendly seems altogether artif associations between these two groups ial; certainly it encourage rule-breaking | and many secretive rendez-vous. “College oficials might do well to attack this problem with their combined intelligence and find a more wholesome manner in which to cope with this problem.” We are not going to argue the point with you but we'd like to try to show you the other side. Unfortunately or fortunately, for you, you have never had to do practice teaching in the Green- ville High School. Under any circumstances, doing practice teach- ing is no picnie and it certainly doesn’t help any when you know the students so well that they call you by your first name and feel that since they know the teacher they can do as they please. I know, beause I taught under those circumstances, having been a student and practice teacher at Greenville High School. We think you understand that part of the situation. However you say that “it seem unnecessary to forbid high school seniors from dating college freshman.” Well maybe its not ary, but . . you Just try telling upper classmen that fresh- en have dating privileges that they don’t. Sounds silly doesn’t it? It is. Sad as it may be coilege students are just as foolish about somethings as high school students are about others. So you see, if the ruling forbidding local high school students to date ECTC students was removed, an even more unpleasant situation than now exists would result. And after all, its just as unpleasant for ECTC students as it is for high school students. Are You One Of These People? For sometime now there has been a heartfelt need on this campus for some means of developing the public speaking ability of a good majority of the student body. Well you have the means. Yes, you have any number of means but the trouble is you don’t really care enough about knowing how to speak well and force- Service Men by Margaret Ennett Come on and gather around all you folks who still cherish the memories of your class- mates. Many of your co-ed pals are serving Uncle Sam now and so if you would like to know where they are and what they are doing you can grasp (or maybe gasp) at these bits of information, and, incidentally, if you have any interesting jnews from any former ECTC student in Service, let me know. You see this column is permanent for the duration. Charles Mayo, son of Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Mayo, has been commissioned as a_ lieutenant at the advanced. Army Brooks Field, San Antinio, Texas.

To be quite frank, you’re so indifferent you don’t give a damn about public speaking or many other things for that matter. Maybe you say you've had a course in oral English or some} such subject but you still aren’t a competent, able speaker. Well no matter how many courses you take in public speaking, you'll never learn how to speak well in public until you actually do it. And there are plenty of opportunities right here on the campus for you to get some practice. One of the best opportunities to supplement your oral Eng- lish courses is to join the College Forensic Club, a very new and very up-and-coming group of orators. Through the Forensic Club you will be able to get as much practice as you like in form- al and informal debating. Then there is another opportunity provided for you to ex- cise your powers of speech— and a sadly neglected one at that. Once every month there is a student mass meeting held on the campus, the original purpose of this meeting having been to give students a chance to air student problems. Well if you’ve ever attended an ECTC mass meeting, then you know just about how many opinion were expressed—well or otherwise. Why is it that students sit and say nothing when their rights and privileges as students are at stake? Why is it that they go to conferences and conventions and sit in silence through discussion groups? Why is it that students act like animals stricken dumb when they even make a Chapel talk. This is why. You just don’t know how, The reason you don’t know how, is that you don’t have what it takes to learn how. You don’t care enough about your privileges to even try to defend them. You don’t even care enough to be embarrassed when students from other colleges put you to shame in discussion — You haven’t got the self-respect and pride of a dumb animal. : So if you’re one of those people that goes around complain- ing about not knowing how to speak in public, just dig up enough self-respect to try the Forensic Club or the Oral English classes. They'll welcome you and you certainly need their help. And again—you can practice at mass meetings—if you’ve got the nerve. sor Deal, is a first class private in the Engineering Corps at- tached _to Staff Headquarters at Ft. Belvoir, Va.

Besides, there never has been any objection ra the Yo MG Ay Wo GAM S A-B SU o Association or what have you, see fit to send delegates jsent the school. No indeed! This school is known for it’s primary and gramn department and it should also be known for its I S dren. Anyone who saw Alice in Wonderland last year a Black Sambo this year will agree that the latter was : the first, if not better. Such productions as this shot couraged and any organization who can put them o backed by the school to the fullest extent.

They choose a topic for discussion, read the references they can find on the subject, then, under the leadership -of a student or a faculty member they talk over and ask questions about what they have read. There is no reason why we should not adopt so benefical a practice here at E. C. T. C. The library is full of good refer- ences; there are those on the faculty and among the students who would make excellent lead- ers. The topics at our command are as varied as our interests and this changing world. The Y. W. C. A. has resolved to take initial steps in what it is hoped will grow into vital discussion groups open to every interested student on the cam- pus. On Sunday evening, Feb- ruary 21, after Vespers a group is planning to assemble with Miss Lois Grigsby in her home! for the first meeting of this| kind. The central theme of the discussion will be “Peace in a} world at Wear”. This will be an experiment.

For the Marchi meeting, plans are being made for a St. Patrick’s Day pro- gram. Miss Bessie Anderson, a recent member of the high school faculty, was welcomed by the group. The hostess served delicious refreshments during which time everyone enjoyed playing “Dice Hearts”. For a long time the YWCA has seen the need or discussion groups here on the campus. The need becomes _ outstandingly evident when the students of this college attend conferences. Important features of most conferences are discussion groups and open forums. When dropped in the midst of one of these, the average E C. T. C. students feel distinctly out-of-! place. About all they know to do is sit in open-mouthed a- mazement while the represent- atives of other colleges take part in the discussion and ask intelligent questions. It is not that those students are any more capable than ours. Neither does their knowledge come to them by any kind of hocuspocus magic.
