President Makes
Statement Regarding
Dance Privileges and
Food Preparation

At the regular mass meeting of
the student body of East Carolina
Teachers College held February
the students voted to adopt two re:
olutions. The first of these requested
the restoration of the privilege of
dancing in the Wright Building
six nights a week. The other asked
for an investigation of the prepara-
tion of the food in the college
kitchen.

In replying to the requests of
the students, Dr. Meadows made the

On Tuesday, February 14,
the wearers of the purple and

The motorcade of fourteen
cars, containing members of the
band, was escorted to Wilson
Monday night by officers of the

ACCians in a flurry and gave
moral, if not physical, support
to the Pirates.

Negro Spiritual
Program Given

In the Wright Building last
night, the Men’s Glee Club, and its
affiliate the A Capella Choir, of
A and T College, gave a concert of
Negro spirituals. :

This group has earned an envi-
able reputation and represents one
of the highest achievements in en-
semble work among college groups
in America. Their repertoire is
representative of the whole range
of choral art from the masters of
the sixteenth century to the present.

Since organizing, the Men’s Glee
Club and A Capella Choir have
made over ninety-five appearances

 

and spoke on the subject under dis-
cussion

A committee chosen to select two
or three hobbies reported that the
most likely ones are the collection of
epitaphs, collection of college seals,
and the keeping of a scrapbook on
Sidney Lanier. The members of the
Society were told that they would
be given their choice as to which
hobby they wished to follow, and
could sign up for work on either
group.

before audiences in Tennessee,
Maryland, Delaware, North Caro-
lina, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and
the District of Columbia.

Warner Lawson, Director of these
groups, is head of the music de-
partment at A and T College, and
is a well known concert pianist as
well as an able director. The ex.
eellence of the groups under his
direction are due, in a large meas-
ure, to his sensitive musical ability
and desire to attain perfection.

her first American tour, will pre-
sent a recital of folk songs in the

ning.

Engel Lund has assembled a vast
collection of folk songs from many

Speaking of the significance of
folk songs, the artist says, ‘‘ Where-

way we get to know much about the

Foundations for the new class-

tion at East Carolina Teachers
College are expected to be com-
pleted by the end of next week if
the weather permits. Since its be
ginning several weeks ago, work’
has progressed rapidly on the new
building in spite of unfavorable

weather at times. Excavations for
the basement were begun early in
January, and at the present time
the concrete piles have been poured,
and most of the wall foundations
are finished.

ed by the Gregory Construction
Company of Raleigh. According to

the foreman, the steel work is
planned to be started next week,
weather permitting. It was hoped
that the building would be com-
pleted by the late summer in order
that it could be occupied at the
beginning of the fall quarter. The
building, however, will not be com-
pleted, due to lack of funds. The
main floor will be incomplete in
that there will be*no wall parti-
tions on that floor. It is hoped that
enough additional funds may be se-

cured to finish the building in the
near future, however.

 

Vernon ‘Tyson, staff photog-
rapher, is keeping a pictorial rec-
ord of construction of the new
building. This series will present

 

the building in all stages of con-
struction from the laying of the
boundaries to the completion and
occupation. The three pictures be-
low illustrate the preliminary
stages through which the construe-
tion on the $300,000 PWA project
has already undergone.

The pictures below show, left to
right, the ‘‘brains,”’ a surveyor
laying off boundaries preliminary
to beginning excavations; ‘‘man-
ual labor,’’ a Negro worker driv-
ing a stake marking the boundaries ;
and ‘‘machine labor,’’ a steam
shovel making excavations for the
basement. These three photographs
show the elements necessary in the
preliminary steps of the construc-
tion of a large building.

Deputation Team
Presents ‘Loyalty’
As Program Topic

“Loyalty’’ was the theme of a
program presented by a deputa-
tion team composed of members
from the cabinet of the Young
Women’s Christian Association on
a visit to the YMCA at State Col-
lege, Thursday, February 2. Two
talks, “Loyalty to your commu-
nity’’ and ‘Loyalty to yourself and
God”’ were given by Misses Sarah
Ann Maxwell and Susan Evans.

iss Maxwell told of the need of
valty in every person’s life;|
the need of loyalty to those things
which have made his life more com-
fortable and more Meaningful: his
home, his school, his church, and
his country. She illustrated her talk
with instances of people who found
they could not live happily without
loyalty. Sarah Amn Maxwell con-
eluded her talk with a quotation
from Elbert Hubbard, warning
young men to not only have book
instruction, but to be loyal to a
trust

Miss Evans began by asking the
group if they were loyal to them- |
selves. She brought out the Mupor-| Haar that teachers have a great

Catherine Dennis

Makes Talk
To Home Ec Club

““What a teacher’s place in the
community should be’? was the
subject of Miss Catherine Dennis’
talk to the Home Economies Club
members recently.

Miss Dennis opened her talk,
with a series of questions concern-
ing the teacher’s relationship with
the communi ‘*How much can
jyou find in your community to make
life happy,’’ she asked? Pass on
good to the community in which
}you teach.
|__ As answers to the questions, Miss
| Dennis suggested that the teacher
take an active part in the organi-
zation of the community. She
should immediately participate in
the club work of the school and
town.

Take into your community a high
regard for your Alma Mater. En-
; courage your associates to let you
help them solve their problems. Be
conscious of your neighbor’s right.
Make all efforts to adapt yourself
to your surroundings. Cultivate in
your school children the practice
of gracious living. Be natural and
i unaffected and avoid calling atten-
tion to the flaws in your surround-
ings.
| Home economies is to help girls
become homemakers, she further
jadded. It is to help improve home
| life in the community and to give
the girls a feeling for home life.

“Girls, I challenge you to be
homemakers and to be proud of it,”’
jshe declared in closing. ‘‘Men are
)still not willing to place the re-
{sponsibility of the world’s eco-
|/nomie conditions on the shoulders
‘of women. They still think that a
woman’s place is in the home.’

with Lynchburg College for a sec-

scuttled the visitors in decisive

fashion. When the final gun sound-
ed, the score read: ECTC 49;
Lynchburg College 32. This victory
avenged the two-point defeat

handed to the Pirates by the Hor-
nets in Lynchburg a short time ago.
Paced by a elicking Brock-Shel-
ton combination, the Bucs rolled
along in easy fashion. Together
they piled up 38 points. Defensive-
ly, the Pirates did a good job of
silencing Cipolat and Meyers, usual
big guns among the Hornets. Cipo-
lat, second high scorer in Virginia
intercollegiate competition, was
unable to pierce Lex Ridenhour 's
guarding movements until eight
minutes before the closing gun.

Pirate pugilist had previously floored

continued his damaging onslaught
in the final canto to again drop his
opponent. Aquilino was apparently
unable to rise from the floor and it
appeared evident that Williams

route. However, Referee Harry

Bucs Lose One;
Elon Is Victor

Facing the mighty Elon cagers
for the first time on home ground
the Pirate basket contingent slipped
to defeat by a 38 ‘o 31 score. The
smaller locals played bang-up ball
throughout, but seemed unable to
overcome the disadvantage offered
by the Christians’ lankiness.

After seven minutes of the-battle
the tallying was tied at eight all,
until Hobson pushed the Elonites
out in front with a field goal. The
visitors stayed ahead for the rest of
the first half leaving the score at
the whistle, 23-15.

During the second period the Pi-
rates started cutting down the Elon
lead and with three minutes to play
the affair was again tied, this time
at 29-29. Holding the locals to two
more counts by Ridenhour, from the
foul line, the Christians advanced
their margin to seven points before
the end of the fracas.

Five To Go

With twenty-five games be-
hind them the Bucs have five
to go to complete their basket-
ball schedule for this season.
The record of the East Carolin-
ians shows that they have the
enviable score of sixteen wins
and nine losses. Of the five re-
maining contests in the offing,
two are exhibitions, and do not
go on record determining the
season status. These affrays
will bring to the local court the
cage team of the New York
Giants ‘‘Pro’’ football squad
next Tuesday, and the House
of David team on March 22.
The regular games will all be
played at home with Chowan
tonight, U. S. Naval Base, Feb- .

ruary 22, and Wilson Teachers,
March 7.
