Students Take OTI Off Blacklist Members of the student body of East Carolina Teachers Col- lege voted Thursday night, May 14, 1942, to take the Olde Towne Inn, local restaurant, off the blacklist. This action was taken at the request of the new owners, Mr. H. B. Sommers and Billy Fow- ler, upon their promise to do all in their power to enforce high standards of conduct in the res- taurant at all times. Students voted unanimously to take it off the blacklist. The blacklist had been placed on the Olde Towne Inn some- time ago when advertising cards of an unfavorable nature had been circulated bearing the name of Olde Towne Inn. Other points considered in taking off the blacklist were the reputation of the new owners in the operation of the Green- 'ville Health center and reports received from the Greenville city officials. Members of the Chi Pi Play- ers will play host at a Coconut Grove Dance tomorrow night in Wright Auditorium. Sponsors | for the dance were elected in a recent meeting and are as fol-| lows: Ruth Bray, Kay Kayser, Gene Marshburn, and Ophelia Hooks. i Ophelia Hooks, president for this year and next year will lead the figure with Dave Owens, recently elected vice- president for next year. Donald Perry is chairman of the floor show committee. Assis- ting Donald on this committee are Rosalie Brown and Jean Abeyounis. Other committees for the dance are: Clifton Britton, Dramateers To Entertain At Coconut Grove Dance chairman of the figure commit- tee. House Decorations are be- ing taken care of by “Shorty” Sessoms and Jack Young. Mar- tha Rice is chairman of the Stage Decorations. Refresh- ment, Margaret Lewis; Light- ing, Fenley Spear; Art, Mary T. Bailey, constitute the re- maining committee heads. Dave Owens, Ruth Bray, Kay Kay- zer, Clifton Britton, and Ophe- lia Hooks are ex-officio to all committees. Bids have been on sale for two weeks for twenty-five cents apiece. Each member of the club has six complimentary bids to be given to friends off the campus, All alumni members of the club have been sent bids.

The need for men in the armed forces and in productive Capacities is expected to make great in- roads into the student body of colleges and universities the coun- try over. These are sad but true statements. In youth of the nation are fa world after the war, it is vi t they be prepared to do so. And still, even though we realize the need of preparation, the enroll- ment in colleges steadily decreases in time of war. Evidences of this decrease are seen every day on this campus. Boys join the armed services, girls get married and stop school, and students take work in national defense projects at the first opportunity. We do not say that th ese things are not worth- ile . . . they are. But a college education is worthwhile also and will probably give greater benefits than any other one thing. Perhaps many s you will continue your educa- tion later. Maybe you will but the odds are against you. There are very few students who go back to college after they have been out for a year or so. Study habits easy to break. We urge it up.

Isn’t someone on the adn inistrative for enforcing a reasonable amount of quiet?” | That. my dear students, is one point on which jno one but yourselves, and the sooner you sibilitv in the matter, the better off we shall all be ance of quiet in the dormitories is put down in t in the handbook as the responsibility of the Stu the proctors appointed by the council. If they f ruling the responsibility lies ultimately on the I ted inefficient officers—or even more on those vote at all. One of the first regulations in the handb W.S. G.

To * of versonal responsibility in the siude nts.” | I may be wrong, but I believe any student who screams | vells in the dormitory, who pl her radio so loudly or t loudly that she disturbs others, is woefully lacking bot} ,control and in any sense of personal responsibility. Also | that by the time a girl is*old enough to be in college she have sufficient maturity and consideration for others so {} jshould not need some one standing over her with a stick her keep reasonably quiet when others are trying to study True I have many times personally quieted girls in my jitory. I have even had to get up out of bed and go on the wing of the house after midnight to do it. But every time J J ever had to quiet anyone it has bec nan admission of lack of self control and your own failure to aecept persona sponsibility, and an admission of the failwre of student sé ernment. No noise in the dormitory is a student responsibility what are you going to do about it, students? —MARY CHEATHAM HOOTING WHO'S By the Wise Ole Owl And the wise old owl! in the old oak tree (the one in the boretum) said—well, what did the old bird say? He’s really cap able of saying plenty, ’cause he sees all, knows all, and—woe is vou—tells all! One of the first thin promot 2 ar gs that the old bird whispered to me was that Dick “Ace” Gauldin and the cute number, Ann Ward, ar seen together quite a bit lately. Too much, in fact for the re lation to be merely friendly. : “It’s amoozing but confoozing”—compliments of Many Yo kum—Everett and Rachel go together , break up, and each one starts going wih somebody else—namely, Kathleen Aveock and Bill “Stanfield” Johnson. But here is the confoozing part. Are these two matches strictly on the beam, or are their actions Just part of their spring cleaning? How *bout it folks? Flash! Gaddy loses James—part time, anyway. However, Billy seems to be getting along o. k., although that bright red jacket does seem to attract Helen’s attention. Billy, what was that the ole Owlie overheard you saying? -*)*”*’*, Ts that right? One of the most peculiar things, says the old bird, is that Billy Greene is so often seen “unattached” these days. To quit beating around nd get to the point, has our moun- e girls about the campus; is some- ; he world is the matter. Please Owl- do some heavy evedripping and enlighten our worried minds, ome heavy evesdripping and enlighten our worried minds. My friend (and your enemy—referring to the bird again) also told me that he can’t make heads nor tails from this Sisk- Davis affair. He wonders if Ray and Bonnie are definitely “that- a-way” or do they just like each other’s company? Another prob- lem for you to clear up Owlie. Well,-after the old bird tried to stamp the foregoing in my excited mind (no remarks, pui-eese!) it was about time for him to leave. But the last thing he said to me was that he was going to travel everywhere this summer from Natchy to Mobile, from Memphis to St. Joe, and keep an eye on all our Problem Chilin. if you step out on us or ‘ find yourself in print the first thing hoping we will have plenty to put in next year!

You and your friends can share together the work and fun of flight training, and after approximately 8 months—earn the right to be flying officers in the U. S. Army Air Forces!

When you are ready—and facili- ties are ready—you begin as an THREE ENLISTMENT PLANS FOR COLLEGE MEN Juniors—Sophomores—Freshmen May Continue Their Education 1. A new plan allows Juniors, Sophomores and Freshmen, aged 18 to 26, inclusive, to enlist in the Air Force Enlisted Reserve and continue their schooling, provided they maintain satisfactory scholas- tic standing. All College Men May Enlist for Immediate Service 2. All college students may enlist as privates in the Army Air Forces (unassigned) and serve there un- til their turns come for Aviation Cadet training. 3. All college students may enlist in the Air Force Enlisted Reserve . and wait until ordered to report for Aviation Cadet training. Upon graduation or withdrawal from college, men will be assigned to active duty at a training center as facilities become available. If the necessity of war demands, the deferred status in the Army Reserve may be terminated at any time by the Secretary of War. The new Army Air Force Enllsted Re- serve Plan is part of an over-all Army Enlisted Reserve Corps program shortly to be announced. This program will provide opportunities for college men fo enlist in other branches of the Army on a deferred basis and to continue their education through groduation if @ satisfactory standard of work is maintained. In case of necessity the Secretary of War shall determine when they may be called to active duty. It Is understood that men so enlisted will have the opportunity of competing for vacancies in officer's candidate schools. This plan bas been approved In the belief that continuance of education will develop capacities for leadership. (Re- serve enlistment will not alter regulations regarding established R. O. T. C. plans.) Aviation Cadet at $75 a month, with expenses paid. If you have majored in science or engineering you can try for a commission in the ground crew—in Armament, Communications, Engi- neering, Meteorology, Photography. As a Second Lieutenant on active duty, your pay ranges from $183 to $245 a month. 80% Have Won Commissions Due to thorough training—about four out of every five Aviation Cadets this past year received Second Lieu- tenants’ commissions—of which 67% aie now flying officers.

And after the war—you'll be ready for the ever- growing opportunities in aviation, Settle Your Service Now The years ahead are war years—and every college man should make his plans accordingly. To make America supreme in the air we need every college man who can qualify for active or deferred services So take advantage now of this op- tion. You may never again have such opportunities.

Charlie has established quite a record during his four s at East Carolina. Being a star in two sports, football and ball, he has given fans and team-mates much to recognize, in good sportsmanship and ability. Charlie captained the Pirate vall outfit this season and proved to be every bit the leader riends expected him to be. He also served as president of the Varsity Club this year. Howard Roberson Someday you will hear of a great invention in the science world. With this invention will be none other than the name, Howard Baxter Roberson. Howard better known as “ Bull,” iz an- other transfer from Brevard College where he was a standout tackle on the football team and ranked in the upper group scho- lastically. He entered East Carolina in the fall of 1940 and was an outstanding player on the gridiron that season. He also served on the undefeated Pirate machine last fall, and he stuck to the name “Bull,” when being approached by opposing gridders. | Bob Young Our out-going sports editor, Ji line Jim transfered from Mars Hil! College in the fall of ’40, and upon setting foot on the ground old of ECTC he made the com- ment, “Some place won't it?” We all know Gianokas for his lead- ership, wit, and ability to do many things. As captain of the 1941 football team, Jimmy was tops. He was heads up at all times, and his decisions were always for the good of the team. He was chosen on the Little All-American football team of 1941. Norman Mayo All of us will remember the heartbreaking accident last fall which came when Bob Young received a head injury in the first game of the season. Even though injured, Bob stole the show that day as he picked up an average of 11 yards per try, and account- ed for three of the five Pirate touchdowns. Bob transferred from Brevard College in the fall of 1940. While there he stood out in basketball and scholastics. He has made the honor roll here every quarter with the exception of one. Playing three sports, football, basketball, and baseball, and being a “whiz bang” in all three, easily makes him the outstanding athlete on the campus. Jimmy Gianakos The sixth member of our honor group came to East Caro- lina Teachers College from Plymouth High School, and showed his ability to make friends right off. Norman served for three seasons on the football team and has been a big standout for the/| Buc baseball team during his four years here.
