Jack hopes to enter the Mete- orology branch of the Army Air Force. If his application is accepted he will probably be Isent to some college for a course of study. As to Jack’s future, in his own word’s “After I get out of the service, I plan to come back to ECTC, major in English and history until a junior, then transfer to Carolina and major in journalism.” High Tribute Paid Alumni Casualties In a simple but impressive service a memorial service was held in chapel Tuesday, Febru- ary 2, paying tribute to the three alumni who have lost their lives in the armed forces since the United States entered the war—Lt. O. D. Andrews, of Rocky Mount; Lt. Johnston, tof Greenville; and Lt. James Stanley Woolfolk, of Greenville. All three men were in the Army Air Force. Speaking at the service, for the whole institution, President Leon R. Meadows said: “We have assembled this morning for the purpose of paying tribute to three of our boys, all commissioned officers in the air force.” Dr. Meadows referred to the loss of Bernard Spilman as an- other that came close to the col- lege, because “though he did ~ Revisal Of Constitution To meet the urgent need for a joint organization of men and women students on this campus, the Student Coopera- tive Movement, outlined in chart form elsewhere on this page, is here presented by the Constitution Committee as the plan proposed for reorganiza- tion of the student government associations of the college. Worked out by a committee composed of Bessie Fay Hunt, Joyce Dunham, Carlyle Cox Jennings Ballard, Virgil Ward, Estelle Davis, and Evan Grif- fin, the plan embodies ideas that have been growing in the minds of many people on the campus for several years. In fact, such a revision was begun four years ago, but was not pushed to completion. The present plan is not a hasty piece of work, but is the product of much thought, study, and discussion. When it was outlined for President Mead- ows recently, he said, “after a careful examination of the pro- posed changes, “this plan has my whole-hearted approval and support. I am_ heartily in sympathy with the spirit of the plan.” The set-lip, as will be noticed in the chart, provides for an executive council composed of members of both groups whose responsibilities shall include the coordination of all students ac- tivities, and leadership in the execution of a definite con- structive program. The mem- bership of this council will represent every interest group See Plan on Page Four Colorful Opera To Be Presented On February 26 It has often been said that the opera “Martha” should be the choice of one who desires to see grand opera for the first time. There are several reasons for choosing “Martha” as an introduction to grand opera. First, the story of a haughty young noblewoman who goes to a country fair and falls in love with a handsome farmer, is easily understood and is appeail- ing in its contrasts of drama and humor. Second, the music is very tuneful. The opera is & continuous succession of easily remembered and_ unusually beautiful tunes. Third, many of the melodies are familiar to the average person. The operatic novice is frequently surprized to hear the famous “Last Rose of Summer” introduced as the principal soprano aria and to hear the tenor sing the famous third act aria which was used as a popular song during the past | few years. Fourth, it is colorful. Set in the early part of the | eighteenth century in England it offers beautiful and varied costuming and settings which range from the interior of a palace to a country fair. The local production of “Martha”, Which is given by the music department, will be given in Austin Auditorium on See High Tribute on Page Four See Opera on Page Four Local Debaters To End Year With Carolina Team University of North Carolina debaters will meet an East Carolina group for. the second time this season in the Austin auditorium Wednesday evening, February 17.

In the first_ meeting of the re tos oat Coe a local negative team com- posed of Cox and Jennings Ballard defeated the university team. The second meet was ar- ranged at the suggestion of the Carolina boys, who expressed that determination to seek re- venge. Answering the challenge, President Cox of the debater’s organization on the campus de- clared, “East Carolina is will- ing to meet the university team any day, and we are out to win.” As the final scheduled clash of a debate season marked by @ve ECTC Victories in seven meets the coming debate will be the climax of the 1 de- bate year for the college.

I see no reason why the Student Co- operative Movement, as recommended by your committee, should not be a success. Students will have the full cooperation of the entire staff of the college in their ef- forts to inagurate this form of government. You will be glad to know, also, that the faculty, at a meeting last night, approved ulty relationships, and recommended that students be given representation on nine faculty committees. Students are free to call on any staff member for help in carrying out the pro- posals in your constitution. Very truly yours, Leon R. Meadows, President. Stationery Store Carrying V-Mail Serving the purpose of the obvious necessity for conserving cargo space of air- planes as well as ships, the V-Mail system was devised. V-Mail represents a saving of 98 per cent in cargo space as opposed to or- dinary mail. Radio announcers and news- papers have been urging the people who sent mail to our fighting men overseas to use the V-Mail for sometime. Reproduction installations for V-Mail are now available in the British Isles, Ice- land, and India. Within the near future they will be available in North Africa. V-Mail is quick—it goes to the boys | overseas by air. It is on sale now in the “Y” buy it for overseas use.

Charlotte Elliott seems to be having trouble deciding whether it wil' be Henry (Romeo) Aldridge or Bill (Ifeartbreaker) Greene. This Aldridge, by the way is quite a power with the women.

There is so much to tell about Janie that it is hard to find a begin- ning. Asa S . freshman Jani was __ secretary of her class and a member of the Chi Pi Players. In her ; sophomore year © she was _ secre- tary of the Chi -§ Pi, president of @ the sophomore class and an asso siate of the Tecoan. , She was in the State contest | play that won'’ the champion- ship in Chapel Hill. She was: also a YDC re- ; presentative to the State Student Legisla- ture in Raleigh. This year she is editor of the anuual, the Tecoan and taught in the high school all fali quarter. She received credit for double prac- tice teaching. Janie has to say of that experi- ence, “I loved it and my kids, they really taught me a lot.” Incidentally she is major- ing in commerce and English. She says her ambition is “not to become and old maid school teacher”, however. When asked what her hobby is she made the astonishing reply, ‘cooking. but not eating it!” “I'd rather laugh than do anything else, so I guess that’s kind of a hobby .too.” Janie admitted that she is quite fond of moron iokes, “but not because I’m moronish!!” “Tm very modest about all this,’ she said as the questioning went on. She was a member of the Poe Society her freshman jyear, and has been a member of the Com- | merce club for three years. Janie says she | never was a junior.

Some of the girls that aren’t getting married are sure- ly doing some strong thinking according to the number of flashy fingers seen around. (I wonder if the dime stores are mopping up during this war!!) When talking to one of the lucky girls the other day about married life she promptly spoke up, “There ain’t nothing like it! It’s a lot different from what I ex- pected—it’s wonderful!’ Don’t let this statement influence you girls on the border line because she had been married only two weeks, and her husband is leaving for the army soon. Ask her the same question after she has been “sitting home reading her magazines” six months from now. Nearly all of the girls are marrying men in service or who are expecting 1o be called soon. Mrs. Miriam (Hewett) Gar- gano, attractive blond wife of a Solomon Island marine, was married last January a year ago and hasn’t seen her husband since last June when he left for the Solo- mons area. Leona (Council) Sugg went west Christmas and married a private in the army air corps way out in Oklahoma. “We had a week and a half together but I don’t have any idea where he is now,” she said. Isabel (Barnhill) Gurganus certain- ly surprised a few people when she came back engaged after the holidays—but she didn’t stay that way long. She took the final step about three weeks later. Mrs. Kirk (Perry) Hayes, whose marriage culminated a campus romance last year, is “Keeping the home fires burning” while Bert is in the Army Air Corps. The latest news has it that Birchie Smith, editor of the Pieces Of Eight, got married to a navy man Sat- urday—Keep ’em sailing, Birchie!! Other ECTC brides are Mrs. Elizabeth (Ives) Ewell, Mrs. Velver (Brown) Wells, Mrs. Grace (Westbrook) Brockman, Mrs. Lena Rose (Giles) Jennings, Mrs. Beatrice (Helms) Daniels, Mrs. Nell (Brandon) Reavis, Mrs. Dorothy (Ballentine) McClure, and Mrs. Lydia (May) Booth. There may be others but it’s their own fault because they didn’t get any publicity—-they should have told their roommates about being mar- ried so she could have told everyone else on the campus. Many other students withdrew from school after marrying, two of the more re- cent ones being Dorothy Denny and Lib Sugg who were married the past week-end. It is understood that many of the girls en- rolled in the Fall quarter that didn’t come back to school this quarter have settled down to married life. Who started this “Gettin‘-married busi- ness around here anyway? Was it Mra. Elizabeth (Smith) Smith, assistant dean of women, who herself got hitched last Au- gust?

BEST ALL AROUND. Square Dance By Evan Griffin On Saturday night, February 6, the | halls of Wright building resounded with the jive of Levy Evans and his ‘“Coon-hunters” | (or was it’s Stardusters?) as ECTC st udents | and guests brushed up on their four hands around, Virginia Reel. and promenading at] a square Dance sponsored by the Varsity! club. Billy Greene and Vance Corey, both | experts in the art of square dancing, call-| ed the sets, and their job of lessening the! confusion of the dancers probably didn’t! arouse the envy of others. Between sets the! “Barnyard promenaders” were given a breathing spell by playing records for those more interested in round dancing. It can) certainly be said that “a good time was had| by all” judging from the “ruckus” that was raised and the jiving of the large crowd at- tending (approximately 800). | A hog-calling contest was conducted on the stage and top honors went to Farmer Snag Clark (for either yodeling or hog-call- | ing). He was given one dollar in trade at | the Olde Towne Inn by the Varsity club and | a T-Bone steak by the Olde Towne Inn. | The highlight of the dance was the an- | nouncing of the Varsity club Sweetheart. | Nancy Wynne, a cute blond from Bethel, was the lucky girl winning the honor and the Varsity club badge was pinned | around her shoulders by Bob Young (no doubt). | Proceeds from the dance will go to-! wards sponsoring a- formal dance on March | 6 and for the purpose of putting on good | posture week in the near future. ! j}most rr }down r | When t Utopia For Students With a proved student gover: the campus, a committee students has drawn senting it to the student This plan is the out and criticisms from sti students of forme Meeting today, members. held when have yvotten finding the and trying to ext “clue” for bette The outcome cate detail groups, or the together 1 trouble rm vised upon, able minimum one.
