Scheduled to give only one num- i ber, Mr. Winstead gave three extra jnumbers when so requested by the student body. The numbers which he gave were: “Lenesome Road,” “Indian Love Call,” “Trees,” and “Let Me Call You Sweetheart.” The assembly joined in the singing of the latter. | College Book Room | Out of the sixteen thousand books in the college book room the average student rents five’ or six during a quarter. From the standpoint of one student, the number seems small. But when this number is multiplied by about eleven hundred students and when, at the end of the quarter, all of them want to get to the two doors of the book room at the same time—well, that is another matter. To lessen this last minute rush, Dr. RB. L. Hilldrap, director of the book room, requests that beoks be turned in as soon as possible. For this purpose, the book room will be kept open a number of extra hours during the last week of the quarter. A schedule will be posted om the bulletin board and on the doors of the book room.

By INA MAE PIERCE How many students have ever stopped to think how much food it takes to serve, even for one meal, those who eat in the E.C.T.C. dining halls. The statistics gathered in terms of pounds, dozens, gallons, or cans from the stewardess who has to calculate the amounts, seemed im- possible to the statistician who passes the figures on to you. When chicken is served for Sun- day dinner it takes 750 pounds. The potatoes served with it weigh 400 pounds, so it is little wonder that the students put on weight also.

The group was under the leader- ship of Miss Laura Rose, chairman of the International Relations Com- mittee of the AAUW, but was com- posed of both members and non- members. It seemed to be the feeling of the group that the chief benefit derived from the series of meetings was the ability to listen to commentators and read the newspapers more intel- ligently. COLLEGE BOOK ROOM (Continued from page one) rented from the college. Since the student agrees to the complete set of rules and conditions, rather than to the summary, when he signs for a book, it may be to his advantage to cut out and save the following copy of them: Book Room Rules 1. No student may check books out of the book room in the name of another student. Each one must get his books in person, and re- turn them in person. It is advis- able for each student to see that his account is properly cleared before leaving the college at the end of a quarter. 2. The book room will be kept open on the last day of registra- tion in each quarter so that the students may arrange to search the shelves for books with which they have been charged during a previous quarter. 3. Ii a student does not return his books, he must pay for them. For a book which has not been used by a former student, the cost shall be the full retail price; for one that has been used throughout a quarter, the cost shall be three- fourths of the retail price; and for all others, the cost shall be two- thirds of the retail price. 4. A fine shall be charged on all books that are returned late. The last day of a quarter is the date when all books shall be consid- ered as due, unless a special ar- rangement has been made where- by a different date is set. This fine shall be tive cents for each day that the book room is open between the date that the book is due and the date upon which it returned until the amount reaches ftiity cents per book. If a book is returned more than ten days late, the fine shall be one-third of the value of the book, if that amount is smaller than a fine of five cents a day. Books due longer than a full col- lege quarter must be paid for un- less other arrangements are made with the direetor of the book room. 5. Tia student fails to take rea- sonable care of the books rented by him, he may be fined for such neglect; but in no case shall the maximum penalty exceed the origi- nal retail price of the books that are abused. is MISS ANN DOWNEY IS B.

The last approach which Mr. Alston listed as probably the most popular was expediency or the way of a short cut. In conclusion, Mr. Alston said: “may God help us with decisions and help us to face our lives today with the approach we do not hesitate to call ‘the way of faith’.” TAKES 40 GALLONS OF ICE CREAM ON SUNDAY (Continued from page one) is also served every meal, amounts to 70 gallons a day or 490 gallons per week.

LETTERS..-. to the Editor This Department (Editor's note: hool is open to all students tn sc here. Tue Teco Ecuo reserves the right to censor or reject all com- munications. Letters published herein express individual opinion, and do not represent the editorial policies of this newspaper.) Dear Editor: Isn't this supposed to be a col lege, or am [ mistaken? Arent people of college age supposed to |know how to act like ladies and gentlemen, or again, am [mistaken | If the answers to the first, parts jof the question above are im the affirmative, I want to say a word ‘or two about the conduct of our stu dent body at entertainments. By | the term ‘entertainments, ”’ T mean not only those made possible Iyy ‘funds from the student treasurer, but the Saturday night moving pietures as well. If a student has already seen a | picture being shown here on a Sat lurday night, common deceney and his sense of consideratoin for others ‘gives him two choices: first, he can stay away entrely, or secondly, he }ean at least refrain from making a whispered summary of it to his neighbors and from commenting on what is going to happen next. Lit tle things like these can utterly spoil a picture for one who is see ing it for the first time. If people will get to the auditorium on time and make up their minds to stay through the showing of the whole film once they're there, caused by squeaking and creaking floor boards will be eliminated. é the doorkeepers will refuse to page any person except for a really im- portant reason, it will be much eas ier to hear the dialogue of players noises As for the way students conduct themselves at the larger, more im- portant entertainments, TF have sey eral criticisms to make. Before [| go into them, however, let me re- mind you that most of the people who appear on our stage in the Wright auditorium, whether they be lecturers. musicians, dan singers. or actors, are celebrities. It stands to reason that word « reception of them here will re other celebrities, who are potential entertainers at this coll and if their reports are unfavorable. the reputation of our alma mater will be blackened and our present hi standard of entertainments must necessity be lowered because we will no longer be able to induce the best entertainers to appear here. rs, 1 hope no one thinks I’m being nasty about all this. It is only be cause I realize that those things I have just mentioned are certain to beeome realities if we students don’t conduct ourselves as refined men and women instead of as hood lums and urchins of the street, that I am writing at such length on this subject. I am merely presenting jan important problem to the stu- , dent body. We can reach the prop- er solution if we only will! That certainly was a digression! Let me get back to the ways in which I think our conduet at large entertainments can be improved. | First, [ think it is terribly rude |of us to laugh at people in a play as soon as they appear on the stage. / If the characters are supposed to | be comical, laughter in the right | places is not amiss, but laughter di- rected at people who are attempt- jing to portray serious parts is un- | pardonable. Let’s try to contro! our tickle boxes until the characters ; have been on the stage at least long |enough to give us a clue to the ;nature of their parts. | Secondly, those of us who decide| to attend an entertainment should, also decide to remain until the final | curtain. That goes double for thos in the baleony. The noise made in| coming down those wooden steps is! simply—well, there just isn’t a word| to describe it! Another thing which we should take steps to end is this practice of getting up and leaving after giv- ing a round of applause so feeble that, as Dr. Baughan would say, it has ‘‘one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel.’’ In large cities it is customary for an andi- ence to give ‘‘curtain calls” to the favorite performers. A curtain call is signified by almost thunderous applause and is nothing more com- plicated than a demand by the au- dience for the reappearance of its favorites. Helen Hayes received an almost unbelievable number after her ‘‘ Victoria Regina.”’ It is up to us to prove that we are. not igno- rant provincials by making it a point to give at least one curtain call after every one of our enter- tainments.
