Ellis Bedsworth was elected president of Ragsdale. Clifton Nelson was elec- ted vice-president, but because he was also elected president of the freshman class was forced to resign. He was replaced by Robert Morgan, his op- ponent in the race.

Educational System Is In Hands Of State Legislature From all over the state come reports of great difficulty in obtaining teachers to fill the requirements of the schools, indicating that North Carolina is in the midst of a seri- ous shortayve of teachers. First evidences of this were noted several years ago when the national defense program was inaugurated and wages for “defense workers’ reaches fabulous heights. The shortage has grown progressively more acute each year until now public education is facing an alarming future. As a result many schools in the state are operating short handed this year. Others are using inadequately trained instructors in or- der to fill the gaps. The state educational system may continue to operate this year he insufficient number of good teachers. It might even go through another year in this manner. But it can do neither F aintain its former high standing in ucational world. for the dwindling number of » obvious. While the salaries of rs of North Carolina have re- st the same (high in compari- ier states, perhaps, but pitiably quate for the times), wages on nrediately concerned with na- and the war effort have sky- with the cost of living. | point of view this has, to je the teaching profession despite make matters worse for the North educational system — teachers the state and especially students colleges in the state have re- n exposed to countless ad- the federal government concerns offering much tter living conditions and iid in the war effort” in Wash- and other points north and out e. One need only observe the to see what e teacher shortage offers have had. For North Carolina and for the nation e education of the coming gen- he democratic way of life is Students in the high schools and colleges of the burden of paying for the It is only fair that they now the best possible preparation for the best obtainable educator students are looked to by na- tional statesmen to “build more pri ssive world of es importance. ne I e. true, it seems that every a teacher in sroom is to the war effort, to the na- , as a blow from a riveter’s } yard. And by the same paper corrected in a classroom lany times the same job done in > many tangled and confused war Yashington. f the North Carolina State ntellectual, cultural and social leaders from all sections of the state, must see the situation in the schools today. They must see that the only remedy is to raise teacher salaries to a point comparable with wartime conditions—a step North Carolina could well afford to take regardless of cost. The solution is obvious. When is something going to be done about it? Pennies Are All Right-- But We Must Dig Deeper Attracting a great deal of attention on the campus at present is the drive of the World Sudent Service fund which is now be- ing conducted by the two Y’s supported by the college as a whole. Through action taken in the Student Cooperative council, every stu- dent organization on the campus is taking part in this drive, which is this year included as a part of the National or United War fund. Last year the college did a creditable job, contributing $134.01, to rank seventh among the colleges in the state. This amounts to a contribution of only 15 cents for each student in the college, however, and this year East Carolina must give nearly seven times as much to meet its quota for the United War fund through the WSSF. That the purpose of this drive is worthy is obvious. Money collected will go into the many war relief organizations of the world, including our own United Service organizations and United Seamen’s relief and many foreign groups such as the Unit- ed China Relief and the British War Relief society. In the colleges and universities the money is being collected through the WSSF, which shares with these organizations in the United War fund. The more immediate aim of the World Student Service fund, which was begun six years ago by American students, is to aid fellow students in all parts of the world. War prisoners, refugees, internees in all parts of the world benefit from this fund in that they are provided living quarters, food, travel aid, clothing, medical aid and books necessary to furthering studies. American students are sharing in this program “because these students hold so much of the future in their hands, because they are so important in building the new world that must be created on the ruins of the old...” The fact that the fund is well organized in the distribution of materials among stu- dents is evidenced by the work being done by British students in German prison camps. These men have organized “universities of captivity” and are actually being given their examinations in the camps and are receiv- ing college credits from universities in Brit- being ain. A similar progr. the United States. It is pointed out that this fund was started years ago by college men and women, many of whom are now serving in the armed forces of the nation, some of whom have died in the service of their country and others of whom are now undoubtedly seeking to con- tinue their studies in the prison camps of the enemy. This situaticn is true of ECTC as well as the nation as a whole and should serve to bring the meaning of the drive home to students of this college. Already East Carolina students have shown an eagerness to help in the WSSF, which is non-sectarian and non-political in its work. One organization, the French fra- ternity, turned over $27.50 from one phase of its own campaign last week. All other groups participated in the Play Night pro- gram in the Campus building last evening. Students will be given an opportunity to con- tribute by depositing money in recptacles in the student stores and in the post office, and an attempt will be made to contact every student personally for a contribution. With the quota of every person in the country set at one dollar for this drive it is apparent why personal contacts must be made. If the drive is to be successful here, students must feel an obligation above that of giving a few pennies through Play Night. am is being planned for ' | With The Armed Forces i by Rosalie Brown ' fo ee ee ee eee eee emcemoemaly With a new school year beginning and the TEco EcHo rolling off the press again We are ready for more news about our alumni in service. During the past year many letters came to the former writer of this column and other interested parties. Former class- mates kept in touch with each other and their Alma Mater via this column. All students who have news of the fellows who are wear- ing uniforms, are urged to drop us a note telling us how they are getting along, where they are (if that isn’t a military secret) and just what’s what in this man’s army, navy, marine and air forces. Now for a word about some of the fellows. - * * * Recently I received a letter from Sgt. Robert G. Little, U. S. Army, who was writ- ing to extend his thanks for the college paper which he received all during last year. Quot- ing from his letter: “Through jungles, on sea and in the air, the TECO ECHO has reach- ed me regularly with good news from my home town and school. This paper has been read by many of my friends in my company and I can assure you that they too have en- joyed it so much. After serving two years over here which will be up soon, I expect to return back to good old USA for reassign- ment.” Robert sent his thanks “for a swell paper which was more important than any other.” Since he has been away from home for so long we know that his family and friends are anxiously awaiting his return to “good old USA.” We join them in hoping that soon he will be home and can visit ECTC. To Sgt. Robert G. Little we wish the best of luck and a speedy return home. + + # % Dallas Peel, who has been serving aboard a battlewagon in the South Pacific for the past ten and a half months has been sent back to the states to enter OCS where he will specialize in Electrical Engineering. His friends have asked him a lot of ques- tions, but he cens them, “until after the war.” Dallas was ving as an electrician’s mate, second class. After spending 18 days at home he returned to San Diego and re- ceived his orders to enter Tulane university in New Orleans. * * * * Word comes from ex-editor, of the TECO EcuHo, Jimmie Whitfield, that he is still get- ting along all right and hopes to be able to help get out an issue before this year is out. Jimmie says he has been doing some writ- ing since he has been in the army, some of which has appeared in papers back here in the states. * * * * Editor Jenkins received a letter from “Mickey” Northcuct last week headed, “Somewhere in India.” He was writing to extend his thanks for the paper. ‘About a week ago I received three issues of the TECO EcuHo, April and May issues,” he wrote. “Mickey” had to say that it was a pleasure to read the paper and that this column was “so interesting and helpful to me.” He could tell nothing of his experience abroad but wished that he “could write of some of his experiences since leaving the good old USA.” “Mickey” was a member of the class of ’40. eee James Worsley, W. B. Harris, Ed Brown, who have been stationed at New- berry college for the past four months are visiting on the campus this week. W. B. is going to Norfolk to await opening in mid- shipmen’s school. James is returning to Newberry for eight more months of training there. These boys were under the Navy V-12 system at Newberry. = * * * Harold Taylor and Randolph Roper made the grade at Columbia university in the Navy V-12 program. Bill Council, Carlyle Cox and Egbert Rouse, on furlough from Duke have also visited the campus. Vance Chadwick recently spent a day on the campus. After more than a year in service, Vance has been given a medical discharge. Flying caused a return of his old stomach trouble. He was an engineer on bombers and also at air fields. * * > * Wilbur Brown, who is in England, wrote back that he sure would like to have the TEco EcHo follow him. Brantley DeLoatche writes that he is enjoying his experiences in the Pacific area. Bernard Roper lives south where he thinks nice girls are over chaperon- ed. Consequently Bernard has decided to ban dating girls while stationed where he is. * * * * Of our girls in service we have word that Elizabeth Beavans and Edna Whitley have received their commissions at midship- men’s school, Smith college, Northampton, Mass. Rachel Farrior is now serving in Africa. She is the first former woman stu- dent of ECTC we know of who is overseas. New Books During the summer quarter a total of 395 books were added to the ECTC library. The names and authors of these books will be published in this and successive issues of the TECO ECHO. In this issue the biography group is presented as follows: Life of Johnathan M. Bennett by Rice; Another Secret Diary of Wm Byrd of West- over, 1739-1741 by Byrd; George Washing- ton Carver by Holl; Memoirs of Catherine the Great by Catherine the Great; Timothy Dwight by Cunnningham; George Gershin by Goldberg; Richard Hakluyt and the Eng- sh Voyage by Parks; Mr. Justice Holmes by Biddle; Mark Hopkins by Denison; Victor Hugo: A Realistice Biography of the Great Romantic by Josephson; The Knight of El Dorado by Arciniogas; Abraham Lincoln by Roge Lord Joseph Lister by Dukes; Mag- ollan by Hildebrand; Review of the Life of Horace Mann from Biblical repository and Princeton review; Heathen Days by Mone- ken; Morgan and His Raiders by Holland; Life of Lord Pauncefote by Mowat; Philip I of Spain by Loth; In those Days by Mourn- ian; My Diary North and South by Russell; Got Thee Behind Me by Spence; Have you Seen Tom Thumb? by Hunt; John Wealey A Portriat by Lipsky; Horace Williams: Socrates of Chapel Hill by Winston; Carry Me Back by Williams; Virginia Woolf by Daiches; The Wright Brothers by Kelly. Health Service The Health Service is staffed by two doctors who are part-time employees of the college and two graduate nurses, one of whom is on duty at all hours. The college physician is Dr. Frederick F. Brooks, who is also director of the depart- ment of health and physical education. Born in Kinston, N. C., and educated in the Kins- ton public schools, he attended the Univers- ity of North Carolina, receiving the degree B.S. in chemistry in 1921 and the M. S. de- gree in 1922, ; He served as assistant professor of chemistry at Clemson college, S. C., in 1922- 1923, returning to the University of North Carolina in 1923 as an instructor in order to conduct further graduate study. He re- ceived his Ph.D. degree in 1926 and was ap- pointed essistant professor of biochemistry in the UNC Medical school. He became associate professor in 1980, During this period he also studied medicine and com- pleted work toward the M. D. degree at the University of Michigan in 1933 while on leave of absence fromUNC. He resigned from this position in 1933 in order to accept an interneship at Henry Ford hospital in Detroit. Doctor Brooks moved to Greenville in 1934 and began the practice of medicine. In 1935 he became assistant college physician at East Carolina Teachers college, which position he held until the death of the college physician, Dr. J. E. Nobles, in December 1941. He then became acting college physi- cian. In March 1942 he returned to Chapel Hill for special studies in the School of Pub- lic Health under a fellowship from the Gen- eral Education board. Owing to the de- parture of several of the Greenville doctors to join the armed services, he was compelled to return to Greenville before his period of study was completed in order to resume the duties as acting college physician. In September 1942 Doctor Brooks be- came college physician and director of the newly established department of health and physical education. In order to keep abreast of modern medical practice, Doctor Brooks continues the private practice of medicine, devoting one fourth of his time to this ac- tivity. The East Carolina physician was mar- ried in 1924 to Miss Octavia Broome of Kinston, N. C., and they have three sons Frederick, Frank and John. They reside at 447 West Fifth street. SCUMMING By The Keyhole Korrespondent It seems that our editor at one time wrote a column in this, our most honorable Teco EcHo and in said column called him- self the “Keyhole Korrespondent.” Some day we think he might even be famous as the originator of the great title—so we wouldn’t think of giving ourselves any other name, but try to carry on in his footsteps. In peeking into the keyhole of the staff room of late we have found some most in- teresting scum. Jenkins can’t decide which he finds more interesting—working with business manager Batson or escorting Betty around in that little gray car. Go, Jenkins, Go! Things have moved with such speed re- cently that news becomes old news before we can get it printed. Gals have been kicked and guys have been spurned with the usual rapid- ity of adjustment at ECTC. Who kicked who in the Tom-Colleen affair? Tom and Jerry isn’t a cat and mouse affair—or is it? And is Tom about to take over Joe Lassiter’s position with Jackie DeLysle?

Bits o Fashion BY SUE Five weeks of school have now gone down in history and Ole Man Fate finds us snowed under themes, tests, term papers, pops and such. But now a hey day comes, and we'll lay that pencil down, babe, and a dancing we will go. The very latest for evening is the street- length sophisticate. But the very prettiest for evening is the traditional full-skirted long dress—the one which gives you a fes- tive feeling the minute you it out of tissue paper. (What matter if it comes out of last year’s tissue paper?) The college issue of Mlle shows one our way of thinking, “Elementar uses some rather advanced tactic The Y store is still the hangout of all the loafers—and of many of our so-called scholars, too. One can enter at any time the hangout is open—if he can cut his way thro’ the smoke and stand the blast of the ice- grinder—and find one coed surrounded by a dozen dames. Jimmy Felton is usually some- where in the bunch and now that he's getting into the service what will the poor girls do... Jimmy has established a name for himself while at ECTC by being known as the one coed who has been least affected by the “to-do” made over all boys by these Wol- verines! Good for you, Jimmy. It really is good to know there’s one bor around here who is not conceited! Hint, hint! At last there’s a formal dance scheduled for next weekend! We notice in the sign-up book that Sadie is taking Jack Edwards to the Jr-Frosh hop! Just what Jack Edwards is that, Sadie? And, girls, ‘tis rumored that John Charlton may have his fiancee down for the great occasion! Maybe that explains his coolness to the fairer sex here at ECTC. SCGA President Dot, dating a marine is one thing, but permitting him to come to see you AWOL (a wolf on the loose, too) is another! Can't you teach him that he’s sup- posed to conform to rules of his group? Reminded us of last year when we saw Baby Pearsall and Burney Warren together avain. But, things were sorta’ switched when Burney and “Booger” Scales (“Big Weighty” in the army air force) took those two cute cousins, Joy and Jodie Flanagan to the jammed (and I do mean jammed) session last Saturday night. Then, too, we hear that Baby was dating a lieutenant Sunday . . along with Bonnk, Inez ,and Dot Davis—We can’t blame the marine corps, tho’, for those are cute girls. The age-old adage that love blossoms behind the footlights was proved last year when Virginia Cooke and Bill Green played opposite in “Ladies in Retirement”—If this runs true to form, what about Cooke and Beddingfield as Claudia and David? We're betting on you, Cooke—stay true! But it’s our guess that every time we see Ed and Lorraine Moore together it’s not just by chance. i Anyone who can furnish information concerning the transporting of John Saieed’s car from Cotten hall to Training school play- ground please turn said information over to Greenville police department (or to John Saieed—John will be glad to act as prosecu- tor, jury, judge and what-have-you?).
