Bs = of ess College Publishers Se Distributor 420 MADIOON Ave. Gaicaso + Boston - Collegiate Digest Credit Where Credit Is Due Those of you who were here last year will remember the adverse criticism made about the college entertainments and the committee responsible for securing them. The criticisms were thing like this. “Oh goodness, We're going to have some more “ That sort of criticism was heard constantly from ts whenever they gathered together and often through the columns of this paper. We don’t hear those statements anymore. This year the en- ainment committee has presented to the student body a pro- at seems to have pleased a student body whose interests ny and varied and they deserve plenty of credit for their and the success they have achieved. All those who talked so much about the entertainments last le for our entertainments this year. They have certainly given you the variety of programs that you asked for. First of all we had Lansing Hatfield, Metropolitan tenor. Then came Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, as prominent a speaker as one could ask for. The Don Cossack Chorus, a group of male singers and dancers, who according to every report, please their audience, was the next entertainment. Next we had the Symphony Trio, which strangely enough, is the only entertainment that we have heard criticized. Last year students said they didn’t want programs of classical music because they couldn’t understand them. Yet when they are presented a program of semi-classical | music that they are familiar with, they didn’t like it. However the students wanted it, so the entertainment committee got it for them. Most recently they presented a type of entertainment that has never been presented on this campus before. . . The National Symphony Orchestra of Washington, D. C. Finally this quarter, the students are to have exactly the type of entertainment that they want popular dance or- chestra. They have been “yelling” for such a program for years. Now they are going to have it. Ending the year’s entertainment program will be a concert by Helen Jepson, Metropolitan opera star. We're proud of our entertainment committee for their ef- forts and apparent success in pleasing the student body. We feel that all of those students who have enjoyed the concerts this vear should congratulate the committee on its work. | As for the Teco Echo, whatever our congratulations might be worth, we say to the entertainment committee ‘You've done a grand job and we're proud of you”. To Our Friends It was recently announced that of the Eighth Street Christian Chu here to take effect September 1. Mr. Ryan, a man whose size does not indicate the his spirit, came to Greenville eleven years he and his family arrived in Greenville, he took an interest anda part in the life of this college equalled by few Greenville citizens not actually affiliated with the college. Mr. Ryan is known at the college for his great interest in all its work. Rarely does one attend any sort of college activity . . Vesper service, dramatics presentation, and e that Mr. and Mrs. Ryan are not there. An able speaker, Mr. Ryan has spoken to many student or- ganizations and his ready wit and understanding of young people have made him very popular among students in this capacity. Through their ministerial work and by their friendly support of the college, Mr. and Mrs. Ryan have endeared themselves to the hearts of many students. It will be a great loss to the college as well as to the city of Greenville to have them go. We can only hope that this editorial, as inadequate as it may be, will express some portion of the great appreciation we have in our hearts for Mr. and Mrs. Ryan. Be Thankful Students Last quarter members of the student body assembled in Mass meeting and discussed the faculty regulation concerning double absences. It was quite apparent that the faculty and the students did not have exactly the same ideas about the matter of class ab- sences. In hopes of improving the regulation to suit the students as well as the faculty, a student-faculty committee was appointed. This committee met. discussed the matter, and made a report to the entire student body. The students accepted the report and also asked that the suggested changes therein be presented to the faculty for their consideration. This also was done and the fac- ulty approved of the revised form and adopted it. So there you have it. The students wanted something, they asked for it, and they got it . . . but it seems now that some folks don’t like the new double absence regulation. All we can say about that is, | la the Rev. W.

We can not vouch for the story, and it seems a bit over-drawn. There are some facts for which we can vouch, viz: 1, There was a faculty meeting, 2. it was not secret, 3. it did consider certain matters con- to bear by the Board of Trustees | cerning scholarship standards on the faculty and administra- tion of East Carolina Teachers | College some action had to be |taken concerning the numerous |absences from classes, especially ;on week-ends. in the college, and 4. it did re- vise some of the regulations concerning seholarship and the calculating of scholastic stand- ings of students. Now, let’s look into these rumored new regulations and see if the visions witches “con- jured up” are as hideous as “My mammy tol’ me” says they are. A quality point-credit hour plan is substituted for the form- er unsatisfactory grade-point plan, because the new plan is most commonly used among other state teachers colleges; it puts a premium on better than average grades; it puts a penal- ty on failures; it thus stimulates better scholarships; it is easily calculated by any student and his totals can be kept quarter by quarter in his course-book so he may know at all times where he stands scholastically. Basically, this plan is almost identical with the old plan. Here is what the new plan is: Grades _made on courses at E. C. T. C. shall have these values.—a grade of “1” earns Dean of Wem members, R. L. Hill absences unless due to an emer- gency or representation of the college or college activity. _ The removal of the regulation in Article IV, Section 8, of the College Regulations, will have 3 quality points a quarter hour on the course; a grade of “2” earns 2 quality points a quar- ter hour on the course; a grade of “3” earn 1 quality point a quarter hour on the course; a to be done by the School Coun-|grade of “4” earns no quality cil, which is scheduled to meet| Points; and a grade of “5” de. once each quarter and which is|ducts 1 quality point a quarter composed of the President of|hour on the course. the College as chairman, the] Now, en, Miss Annie L.| hearted secon Pe! — = Men, Dr.| lurking er ebarker ; three faculty|ting in some good licks duri: Miss Dora Coates, Dr.| the first and second years, pon 7 drup, and Mrs. Ade- encourage them to go home and laide Bloxton; the members of|help mother and dad instead of Women’s Student Council; and| wasting time and dad’s money, the members of the Men’s Stu-|this further See Absences on Page Four tl to encourage any half- students, who might be M around, to begin put- He those now in college, must keep faith, not the students current} but with those who before and those yet with the public as w nuts its money ing agencies public by im of the standa the parents, some Ml aford to se to college, to do so u ceived res of the knowled; that enable daughters to 3 provision is made |good which is only slightly different child moon? Or how long should one fritter away time and money on a task before settling down to putting his best efforts into it? You will notice that what seems to be ample allowance is |made for getting adjusted by setting the figures well below the average number of credits and quality points earned by students in a given period of time. During the first year it is about three fourths of the normal. And the standard is progressive, as it should be, but by the beginning of the third (junior) year the student must have and maintain at least as many quality points as he has quarter hours earned. So—don’t play around too much, or sleep through classes, or go off on many “weak” ends if you have a real burning desire, backed by sizeable amounts of gray matter, for a college degree. And finally, dear brethren, though we believe Shakespeare had one of his characters say, “politics is an ass”, it can be said, conversely, “colleges are not inhu:nan.” They are reason- able things, or try to be; even college teachers and college ad- ministrators are human and have lucid moments, at least, oc- casionally. They have all experi- enced the struggles and known ‘CH 28, 199 ’ [oe STUDENT'S CORKER May we present Edna Mitchell.

So it can be of no great surprise that six games in the Pirate spring schedule have been cancelled. Take for in stance, Duke University’s inter- collegiate schedule. For the first time in years only one out of conference team will be met. Cornell's visiting nine will furnish the opposition in that case and all of the rest of the games will be with conference foes. The University of Tennessee has dropped its entire baseball schedule due to the lack of diamond material and many other smaller schools are fol- lowing suit. Whatever may be the case ECTC will have a darn good baseball team this spring if the pitching holds up. The greatest interest will be in the three games scheduled during April with the Bucs’ Arch rival Atlantic Christian College. At stake will be the Bohunk bucket and Coach John is already lay- ing plans to snare that last game which will be played on the local field. To fill up the break in the schedule left vacant by several colleges canceling engagements, Coach John is contacting six service teams to replace them. Games with these teams are almost assured and they will round out approximately a 20 game _ schedule. Most of the games will be played at home. ~The schedule was purposely ar- ranged this way in order to |gain greater student support. Last spring’s attendance at local games was the poorest in many years, even with a fine team to back and it is hoped that the greater number of home games will awaken the students en- thusiasm. Included below is temporary ECTC baseball schedule which is being added to daily: Campbell College March 28 - Here Naval Hospital April 7 Here Atlantie Christian April 9 There Edwards Military Institute April 17 and 18 Atlantic Christian April 21 Presbytern Jr. College April 30 and May 1 Naval Base May 11 and 12 Here Here Here Here Naval Hospital May 13 There Naval Base May 19 Here ORCHESTRA Continued from Page One Garden, August 27.

Dr. Hubert Haynes is organiz- ing a squad and will more than likely attempt an inter-collegiate schedule. Beginning this week a ladder tournament will be played to First round matches have already been arranged for Doug Glover, Norman _ Wilkerson, Everett Hudson, Doug Jones, Keith Hudson, Russell Roger- son, Bill Gaddy and Sidney Johnson. It will be quite a task to build up as formidable a team as the racquet weilders of last spring. Most recent loss was Dopey Watson. He graduated last quarter, bringing the loss of seeded Varsity players to four. However, very few colleges will boast as good a tennis squad as they had last year and the job of coping with outside competi- tion may not be too huge a one. If any Eastern squads are on a trip through this section there is a strong possibility that they may be engaged for a match here. The Varsity Courts will be in the finest shape ever and there is little of an overcrowd- iness. Then ten courts beyond the training school will be in playing condition the first part of next week. Also ready for use will be the three courts in the back campus. As yet no schedule has been arranged. According to recent reports the team is trying to secure games with State Fresh- man, the Citadel, and Clemson. LAUTARES BROS.

Delia Physical Fitness Program To Help |National Defense At a meeting of all physical education instructors, it was de- cided to revise the recreational activity courses and thus be in better accord with national de- fense programs existing over a nation wide area. O. A. Hankner head of the physical education department announced plans to encourage the physical fitness of all stu- dents participating in the phys- ical education department. Set- ting up exercises will precede tennis, softball, soccer, baseball and all other activity classes. It is argued that a person needs _ physical activity to maintain mental stability. Mr. Hankner cited instances when football players acknowledged that their grades fell somewhat during the off season if they engaged in little activity. This is true in any number of cases. Bob Young, versatile athlete says, “When I’m _ not playing some sport, or at least taking a lot of exercise, I can’t do my school work as efficient- ly as otherwise. It gives one a dull, lazy, feeling to do nothing but hide the time away.” If full cooperation is received a vigorous physical fitness pro- jgram will be pursued during the quarter with the physical education department in the drivers seat. When work is finally com- ipleted in the athletic field it twill go far toward affording better facilities. Duke Loses Coach The Blue Devils of Duke Uni- versity will be without the lead- ership of Coach Wallace Wade next fall as he is now a Major in the United States Army. News was recently released that the Duke mentor has taken over his duties at Fort Bragg. Taking Mr. Wade’s place as head coach at Duke will be Eddie Cameron, who placed the Duke basketeers in first place in the Southern Conference, and champions of the conference for the past season. —— PAGE THREE E.C.T.C. Opens Season With Campbell By Billy Greene Well, the old baseball season has rolled around again, and things are looking good for the Pirates in the line of material. Twenty members have report- ed for regular practice accord- ing to Manager, “Dirty Bill” Lucas, this group being made up largely of newcomers. How- lever, on the list from last year’s aggregation we find Norman Mayo, an outfielder; “Big Ray” Sisk, catcher; Wiley Brown, outfielder; Sammy Crandall, who served as a sec- ond baseman and_ outfielder last Spring; W. B. Harris, out- fielder; and G. Jerome Butler, catcher; and Bill Grant, pitch- er. The newcomers to the “Pirate” squad are: Richard “Dick” Gauldin, Floyd Woody, Brandt Waters, Stewart Tripp, William Johnson, “Buddie” Murray, Jim Little, Warren Al- dridge, Vern Keutemeyer, Bill Council, Bob “Pawnee” Young, Osbourne Lewis, and “Bolo” McLawhorn. Just a few words about the pitching staff. Coach Christen- bury announces that he plans to start “Dick” Gaulding in Satur- day’s engagement with Camp- bell. Gaulding is a transfer from Brevard Junior College, and he made a fine record while at Brevard. He won over three fourths of his games pitched for this college, and then in the summer pitched for the “Tan- ners”, a team in the Textile League of Western North Caro- lina. This team, by the way, won the championship in 1940, Brother “Dick’’ pitching the en- tire game. The rest of the pitching staff is made up of Vern Kuetemeyer, Bill Council, and Warren Ald- ridge. Vern has not pitched in !two or three years, but he’s looking mighty fine in practice, jand he should place the “Bucs” on the winning end several times this season. Bill Council, a Freshman, pitched for Dur- ham High School and piled up a good record there. The fourth pitcher, Warren Aldridge, is also looking fine in practice. He has plenty of steam and looks like a winning pitcher. Now for the schedule. War conditions have, of course, put a stop to athletics in several schools. This means that many scheduled teams are canceling games with the Pirates. How- ever, several games are sched- uled and more are being work- ed up. ors Dy % !
