“YWCA Hears Hil
On ‘Finding God’

The YWCA sponsored its first

out of town visitor to speak at

day. Mr. Haywood Hill, a student
at the Medical School of Virginia
in Richmond and President of the
,YMCA at Davidson College last
vear spoke on “Finding God.”

Mr. Hill began by quoting the
first verse of the first chapter of
Genesis, the first verse of the first
chapter of Exodus, the first verse
of the first chapter of John and
the first verse from the fourteenth
Psalm. “We are living in an age of
debunking,” This de-
bunking is an attempt to destroy
anything or anybody who is honor-
the hooks writer ages ago—
the Holy Scripture. “It begins with
the small things of life and works
up to the Bible, with small town
heroes and ends with God himself.”

There are a great many people
today who are losing touch with
God and they often say: “If I could
only find some way to find God in
the natural world.” Mr. Hill stated
his belief that God may be found
through the study of sciences.
‘many men set it forth, science is
‘opposed to religion—outdates reli-
‘gion. Opposing this view he con-
tinued saying that as one studies
iscience of life and the science of
levolution, it is found “that it

President and

Treasurer Testify in

Committee Meeting

President Meadows and Mr. F. D. |
'Dunean went to Raleigh, Thursday, |
i January 19, to appear before the |
_Appropriation Committee of the
‘legislature. The trip was made to |
| protest against tuition increases and |
‘to request additional appropriations
lfor ECTC. |
| Dr. Meadows asked the committee |
for $79,594 more for the biennial |
1939-1941 than recommended by the |
‘budget commission. He explained |
‘that the additional amount was!
needed to meet present pay roll pay |
raises, four additional employees, |
\erading and drainage, seats in the |
|gymnasium, library stacks, and a)
| generator.

Included in his request for $79,- |
1/594 additional funds was a request |
for $17,925 each year. This he ex-
‘plained was needed to replace the |
‘amount estimated by the budget)
commission that would be raised by |
the tuition increase from $60 to $75. |
| Dr. Meadows stated that he}
“would not be inclined to think that.
it be wise for the state to raise |
tuition just now. If you do it,|
youll keep many out of college!
and North Carolina is not in a posi-|
tion to take a stand which will keep
our boys and girls out of college.”

He further stated that self-help.
students would be hit the hardest |
by increases and they “without ex-
ception make better records than do
others.”

Senator W. B. Rodman, Jr., of
Washington, appropriation chair-
man, suggested that perhaps a loan
fund for students instead of “mak- |
ing a direct gift” in the shape of
low tuition charges.

To this suggestion, Dr. Meadows
responded that “it would be one of
the finest things yet.”

Committee members have not yet
compiled any figures as to the size
loan fund which would be needed.

eco Echo's Rambling Rodent Writer

Gives Rat-eye View of Senior Play Set

What's all this? A gang of girls
coming down to help with the
scenery for the Senior play ! Shucks!
Can’t a poor rat have any peace ¢
I guess I might as well roam around
and watch. This ought to be as
good as a three-ring cireus.
~ “Beeek!” My stars! What lungs!
And that girl can surely jump. Ha!
I'll bet she jumped six feet. Maybe
I shouldn’t have ventured so close.
But, after all, I was here first.

“Hey, Hampton! Come hold this
board while I saw it.” Poor Hamp!
I don’t know how he stands all those
girls yelling for help. I should
think he would rather build the
whole stage set than have those use-
less women hanging around. But,
then, maybe he likes company (some
company) while he’s working.

Knock! Knock! Knock! I thought
for a minute someone was at the
door. But I guess it’s just those
girls tacking the cloth _on the
frames. I must be getting Jumpy—

all this noise is about to “get”? me.
Oh, me! I was afraid that would

happen sooner or later. One poor

dear girl hit her finger nail in-
stead of the nail at which she was
aiming. Why doesn’t someone
sympathize with the girl? Girls need
sympathy.

Frankly, I never saw a group of
people working so hard at doing
nothing. Most of them are getting
nowhere fast, while some of them
are sitting on the sidelines cheer-
ing. In spite of all the apparent
idleness, however, the work is getting
done.

Sakes alive! It’s ten o’clock! If
something isn’t done quick those
girls are going to be late getting
back to their dormitories. I'll just
stroll along in the general direction
of the door, passing near their feet
—maybe they can take a hint.

Yep! The old saying is correct
“A hint to the wise is sufficient”—
they all realized immediately that
it was time to go home. Guess I’ve
done my good deed for today. Now
I can go to sleep and rest in peace
—if a poor old rat can sleep in the
wreck and ruin left by a crowd of
industrious girls.

lector ; and from a haughty, prudish
‘society woman to a humble, high-
strung playwright. Bridging the
igap between these two, and also
\representing the between characters,
\Miss Scheerer gave a_ creditable
| representation of each member of
ithe cast.

Remaining until the afternoon fol-
lowing her performance,
Scheerer kindly consented to speak
to the High School Dramatics class.
Also, at noon in the English Club
room, she spoke to the combined
English and Dramatic clubs. Giving
her audience a few side-lights on
the New York stage, Miss Scheerer
voiced the opinion that some of the
most outstanding plays, in so far as
real literary and dramatic merit are
concerned, were often at the end
of the list in audience appreciation,
as shown by attendance to the per-
formances; while some of the rela-
tively poorer plays would run for
a year or two.

Among the plays which are most
popular on Broadway this season,
she mentioned Mamba’s Daughters,

Kiss the Boys Goodbye, and Abe
Lincoln in Illinois.

According to Miss Scheerer, the
stage production of the play You
Can't Take It With You is more
nearly in keeping with the original
ideas of the authors as set down in
the actual play. The movie, which
is appearing in one of the local
theaters soon, has many variations
from the original play.

For New Building

Excavation work on the new class-

East Carolina Teachers College was
begun during the early part of the

iweek by Gregory and Company, Ra-

leigh firm in charge of construction.
This work is the first on the actual
building which will be near enough
finished by next fall for use.

Up to date, the work has con-
sisted of clearing the site, relaying
sewage lines, and laying off bound-
ary lines. The building will be 225

ment seems largely a result of
pioneering by educators like Robert
M. Hutchins with his Chicago Plan,
which allows students to attend
classes at their own discretion.

Few schools, however, have fol-
lowed the lead taken by the Uni-
versity of Chicago.

Although educators discuss the
question among themselves, seldom
have they asked the opinions of the
students, who are most vitally in-
terested in the question. The Stu-
dent Opinion Surveys of America
are able to give voice for the first
time to the students’ views on the
issue. :

The nation’s college youth were
asked, “Should compulsory class at-
tendance in colleges be abolished?”
Yes, said 63.5 per cent
No, said per cent

Even though the poll revealed a
sizable majority who favored

with compulsory presence in slacken |

Breaking down the results sec-|
tionally, sentiment favoring aboli-
tion is strongest in the East. The
Middle Atlantic states showed a ma- |
jority of 68.7 per cent who answered
“ves.” In the West and Midwest,
students were more evenly divided |
on the issue. In the West Central
states, which include the Chicago
section, a bare majority—53.8 per |
cent—were for abolition.

A sophomore art student in the
Glendale Junior College of Cali-
fornia pointed out that some stu-
dents can get their work without
regular attendance.

Speaking for the opposition, a
senior arts and sciences student in
Bates College, Maine, believes that
most students are not mature enough
to allow lifting of compulsory at-
tendance requirements,

on

the YWCA Vesper Service Sunday}
evening, January 15,

He began by stating that proberbs|
are often used to evade an issue, to|
cover up something or to shift re-|
sponsibility. Fer instance im the
proverb “Where's there’s _ smoke
there’s bound to be fire,’ there is
often, not even any smoke. You are,
besides, net dealing with fire and
smoke, but with people. He illus-
trated further with “You ean’t teach |
an old dog new tricks.’’ ‘‘But we
have adult education today.” And
again one is dealing with people, not
dogs.

In Ezekiel is found this passage,
Mr. Patrick continued, “The fathers
have eaten sour grapes and the
children’s teeth are sharp on edge.”
The children of Israel, while in
Babylon, believed they were doomed |

because of the sins of their fathers,

| just as the people of our nation today

believe themselves to be reaping the
sins of the World War, always ab-
solving the individual of responsi-
bility.

“T want you to recognize your
own responsibilities,” he said, “first
in your personal life.” A person may
contribute something to a Christmas
basket, or employ someone to do a
tedious task that must be done, but
it is necessary that he accepts re-
sponsibility for himself. Second, it
is necessary to accept responsibility
in group life. This will proceed only
as the individual accepts responsibili-
bilities in that group.

The third responsibility is in the
realm of one’s spiritual life. “Some
people will even leave that to others,”
he declared. This was illustrated by
a story of a man who took all his
problems to his preacher and church
to solve, for according to his belief,
that is what they were for.

“Our lives are really our own and
we are responsible for them. What
we are depends on us and not the
sour grapes of our father’s,” he
concluded.

AND NOW WITH. nothing better

| Geography Class
Hears Australian |

| Mrs. Wilson Flake, a native Aus-|
tralian, spoke to Dr. Picklesimer’s
class of economic geography of
European countries on “Australia As
It Is Today” on Wednesday,
January 11.

Mrs. Flake was born and reared
in Australia and is a native of
Sydney. She is the sister-in-law of
Mrs. C. D. Griggs of Greenville. At
the present time she is visiting in
the United States with her husband
who is on a three months vacation.

Mrs. Flake drew a vivid picture
of Australia for her listeners in her
illustrated descriptions of the conti-
nent.

“We swim nine months out of the
year in Australia,” she stated. Every
week one half of the school day is
spent at the sea shore where the
children are given lessons in swim-
ming.

Sheep raising is the most im-
portant money making industry of
Australia. Therefore nothing is over
looked in the way of protecting the
sheep. So much do they value the
industry that a fence has been
erected 1,000 miles long around the
sheep ranches to keep out the rabbits
which might eat the grasses that
the sheep need.

Mrs. Flake brought out the fact
that Australia had perhaps the most
peculiar animals of any place in the
world, yet they were the most harm-
less. Those she described were the
kangaroo, rabbits, koalar bears.

In conclusion she mentioned that
the Australians were very proud
of their beaches. “In fact,” she
added, “they are just as pretty as
any American beach and we love
them.”

tastic black velvet bracelets covered |
with all types of jewels and snapped |

The newest things to wear on the,
shoulder of evening dresses, as
epaulettes, are clips. Evening hats)
rary from tiny saucer-shaped ones}
of velvet to those completely made}
of twisted black net decorated with|
sequins or flowers. Flowers in the|
hair, as always, a great favorite.

The smartest flower right now is the|

ple, or pink.

Gloves are always an important
part of your costume. A distinctive
glove is fashioned with a strip of
Persian Lamb running from the cuff
down the third finger. It looks par-
ticularly well on blue suede.  Ele-
gant gloves for day wear are made
from doeskin, suede, and pigskin
or pecary. They may be closed with
zippers or be simply pull-overs. A
clever touch is to wear a fabulous
ring on the outside of your glove.
You might also use your large cuff
bracelet, wearing it over the cuff of
your glove. It is very “frenchy.”
For colder weather, gaily embroid-
ered angora mittens are warm as
well as stylish. Evening mitts, with
eyelet embroidery, are very smart.
Long fimy black net gloves, some-
times decorated with sequins or bow
ties of velvet, are a great success
with period gowns.

Get your gloves out, and start
wearing them. It’s smart to be
casual, but no matter how indiffer-
ent you wish to appear, you must
always wear gloves. It is said that
the French woman puts her gloves
on in her dressing room, the Ameri-
can woman puts her gloves on in
the hall, and the English woman
puts her’s on in the street. Every
smart girl wears gloves—no matter
how hot the day may be! Live up to
our American reputation, and wear
gloves every time you step outside
your dormitory door.

A tantot — and more gloves to
you!

Nobel Prize winner Pearl S.

at the regular monthly meeting of
the Lanier Society. Her life, with
interesting side lights, and the book
The Good Earth which won her the
Nobel Prize were discussed by Mar-
garet Wilson. Also a few enlighten-
ing comments as to the origination
and significance of the Noble prize
were given by Miss Wilson.

To add humor and good will to
the occasion, Edith Harris rendered
a reading. “Talkative Tillie.”

The business session of the meet-

“YWCA Hears Hil
On ‘Finding God’

The YWCA sponsored its first

out of town visitor to speak at

day. Mr. Haywood Hill, a student
at the Medical School of Virginia
in Richmond and President of the
,YMCA at Davidson College last
vear spoke on “Finding God.”

Mr. Hill began by quoting the
first verse of the first chapter of
Genesis, the first verse of the first
chapter of Exodus, the first verse
of the first chapter of John and
the first verse from the fourteenth
Psalm. “We are living in an age of
debunking,” This de-
bunking is an attempt to destroy
anything or anybody who is honor-
the hooks writer ages ago—
the Holy Scripture. “It begins with
the small things of life and works
up to the Bible, with small town
heroes and ends with God himself.”

There are a great many people
today who are losing touch with
God and they often say: “If I could
only find some way to find God in
the natural world.” Mr. Hill stated
his belief that God may be found
through the study of sciences.
‘many men set it forth, science is
‘opposed to religion—outdates reli-
‘gion. Opposing this view he con-
tinued saying that as one studies
iscience of life and the science of
levolution, it is found “that it

Committee Meeting

President Meadows and Mr. F. D. |
'Dunean went to Raleigh, Thursday, |
i January 19, to appear before the |
_Appropriation Committee of the
‘legislature. The trip was made to |
| protest against tuition increases and |
‘to request additional appropriations
lfor ECTC. |
| Dr. Meadows asked the committee |
for $79,594 more for the biennial |
1939-1941 than recommended by the |
‘budget commission. He explained |
‘that the additional amount was!
needed to meet present pay roll pay |
raises, four additional employees, |
\erading and drainage, seats in the |
|gymnasium, library stacks, and a)
| generator.

Included in his request for $79,- |
1/594 additional funds was a request |
for $17,925 each year. This he ex-
‘plained was needed to replace the |
‘amount estimated by the budget)
commission that would be raised by |
the tuition increase from $60 to $75. |
| Dr. Meadows stated that he}
“would not be inclined to think that.
it be wise for the state to raise |
tuition just now. If you do it,|
youll keep many out of college!
and North Carolina is not in a posi-|
tion to take a stand which will keep
our boys and girls out of college.”

He further stated that self-help.
students would be hit the hardest |
by increases and they “without ex-
ception make better records than do
others.”

Senator W. B. Rodman, Jr., of
Washington, appropriation chair-
man, suggested that perhaps a loan
fund for students instead of “mak- |
ing a direct gift” in the shape of
low tuition charges.

To this suggestion, Dr. Meadows
responded that “it would be one of
the finest things yet.”

Committee members have not yet
compiled any figures as to the size
loan fund which would be needed.

Gives Rat-eye View of Senior Play Set

What's all this? A gang of girls
coming down to help with the
scenery for the Senior play ! Shucks!
Can’t a poor rat have any peace ¢
I guess I might as well roam around
and watch. This ought to be as
good as a three-ring cireus.
~ “Beeek!” My stars! What lungs!
And that girl can surely jump. Ha!
I'll bet she jumped six feet. Maybe
I shouldn’t have ventured so close.
But, after all, I was here first.

“Hey, Hampton! Come hold this
board while I saw it.” Poor Hamp!
I don’t know how he stands all those
girls yelling for help. I should
think he would rather build the
whole stage set than have those use-
less women hanging around. But,
then, maybe he likes company (some
company) while he’s working.

Knock! Knock! Knock! I thought
for a minute someone was at the
door. But I guess it’s just those
girls tacking the cloth _on the
frames. I must be getting Jumpy—

all this noise is about to “get”? me.
Oh, me! I was afraid that would

happen sooner or later. One poor

dear girl hit her finger nail in-
stead of the nail at which she was
aiming. Why doesn’t someone
sympathize with the girl? Girls need
sympathy.

Frankly, I never saw a group of
people working so hard at doing
nothing. Most of them are getting
nowhere fast, while some of them
are sitting on the sidelines cheer-
ing. In spite of all the apparent
idleness, however, the work is getting
done.

Sakes alive! It’s ten o’clock! If
something isn’t done quick those
girls are going to be late getting
back to their dormitories. I'll just
stroll along in the general direction
of the door, passing near their feet
—maybe they can take a hint.

Yep! The old saying is correct
“A hint to the wise is sufficient”—
they all realized immediately that
it was time to go home. Guess I’ve
done my good deed for today. Now
I can go to sleep and rest in peace
—if a poor old rat can sleep in the
wreck and ruin left by a crowd of
industrious girls.

lector ; and from a haughty, prudish
‘society woman to a humble, high-
strung playwright. Bridging the
igap between these two, and also
\representing the between characters,
\Miss Scheerer gave a_ creditable
| representation of each member of
ithe cast.

Remaining until the afternoon fol-
lowing her performance,
Scheerer kindly consented to speak
to the High School Dramatics class.
Also, at noon in the English Club
room, she spoke to the combined
English and Dramatic clubs. Giving
her audience a few side-lights on
the New York stage, Miss Scheerer
voiced the opinion that some of the
most outstanding plays, in so far as
real literary and dramatic merit are
concerned, were often at the end
of the list in audience appreciation,
as shown by attendance to the per-
formances; while some of the rela-
tively poorer plays would run for
a year or two.

Among the plays which are most
popular on Broadway this season,
she mentioned Mamba’s Daughters,

Kiss the Boys Goodbye, and Abe
Lincoln in Illinois.

According to Miss Scheerer, the
stage production of the play You
Can't Take It With You is more
nearly in keeping with the original
ideas of the authors as set down in
the actual play. The movie, which
is appearing in one of the local
theaters soon, has many variations
from the original play.

For New Building

Excavation work on the new class-

East Carolina Teachers College was
begun during the early part of the

iweek by Gregory and Company, Ra-

leigh firm in charge of construction.
This work is the first on the actual
building which will be near enough
finished by next fall for use.

Up to date, the work has con-
sisted of clearing the site, relaying
sewage lines, and laying off bound-
ary lines. The building will be 225

ment seems largely a result of
pioneering by educators like Robert
M. Hutchins with his Chicago Plan,
which allows students to attend
classes at their own discretion.

Few schools, however, have fol-
lowed the lead taken by the Uni-
versity of Chicago.

Although educators discuss the
question among themselves, seldom
have they asked the opinions of the
students, who are most vitally in-
terested in the question. The Stu-
dent Opinion Surveys of America
are able to give voice for the first
time to the students’ views on the
issue. :

The nation’s college youth were
asked, “Should compulsory class at-
tendance in colleges be abolished?”
Yes, said 63.5 per cent
No, said per cent

Even though the poll revealed a
sizable majority who favored

Breaking down the results sec-|
tionally, sentiment favoring aboli-
tion is strongest in the East. The
Middle Atlantic states showed a ma- |
jority of 68.7 per cent who answered
“ves.” In the West and Midwest,
students were more evenly divided |
on the issue. In the West Central
states, which include the Chicago
section, a bare majority—53.8 per |
cent—were for abolition.

A sophomore art student in the
Glendale Junior College of Cali-
fornia pointed out that some stu-
dents can get their work without
regular attendance.

Speaking for the opposition, a
senior arts and sciences student in
Bates College, Maine, believes that
most students are not mature enough
to allow lifting of compulsory at-
tendance requirements,
