The main purpose behind campus organizations is to develop abjectives that will promote a feeling among its members that time a person spends in the interest of the group is for his own Jrenefit. If a student joins an organization solely for associating his name with that particular unit and fails to take an active interest in his club or society, he is not accomplishing the purpose of the organization, nor is he deriving experience that will prove inval- Gable in the future. When a student is graduated from college, he is confronted with - social responsibility of getting along with others. Unless one Is ows how to do this, he will not enjoy the fruit of wholesome living. Campus organizations aid students in getting along with — } ‘Why Study? “I don’t have to do intensive studying.

Even if a student has stacks of green dollars as his future} foundation, he is headed for a tumble if his purpose in learning is merely “getting by.” Success in life is not attamed Ay who adhere to the policy of “just getting by.” No college can place a student on easy street, but it can give him the impetus tackling unforeseen problems of tomorrow. os mhancia those And to the student who works hard and concludes he hasn’t . chance, we drop this adage: “The man who thinks he has no chance destroys his chance by acknowledgment of self-defeat.” Obeying Regulations Through the ages, laws have become,a necessity for all races hecause people have failed to live harmoniously without rules. Campus regulations are made because schools are attended by some students who are unable to live without having reminders of what is right and what is wrong pounding their ear drums. Unless a student can acquire respect for law, he will become a liability instead of an asset in the world of tomorrow. Then, too, if a student is to become a teacher, he will not only be required to respect law, but will find himself demanding respect for rules which he sets up for his pupils. A clean school reflects the ideals of clean living among the stu- dent body of the institution. If you have an opinion, express it. If you remain silent, you will find that others will think for you. A student who keeps his nose in the air will never stumble over success. What you learn belongs to you. What you fail to learn belongs to someone else. If you don’t know why you exist, don’t ask anyone else to settle the issue. It is likely that they don’t know either. wy Whichard, Margaret D. Moore.

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.) To the Editor: Recently an expression w as brought to our attention, in a rather abrupt and unexpected manner, of the futility of the efforts of the present staff of our Pieces of Eight magazine. Among other things, our efforts have been compared, some- what pointlessly and narrow-mind- edly, to a dictatorship being inade- quately headed by some “alien” who has the “oomph” and tenacity of character to persuade a number of his best friends to collaborate with him in publishing a magazine for whatever profit possible. As a mem- ber of the magazine staff, I am able to say that this viewpoint is one which some perverse, non-codpera- tive, or misinformed person has cooked up for reasons of his own. After trying our best, and after putting out a good deal of work in ' something we want everybody to ap- preciate, it was with surprise, dis- appointment, and, I must say, in- dignation, that we received such criticism as we have had even before the first issue has been published. It is to be expected that our first attempt at something utterly new and untried will be more or less fee- ble, but even an attempt should be met with an optimistic outlook on the part of the student body, and not with belittlings and ridicule. The idea of a college magazine was first brought to the attention of the school last spring just before school was over; therefore, not much preparation could be made for a magazine for this year, but at the beginning of the fall quarter, sev- eral students went to work with a will in order to publish this quar- ter’s edition. The staff has welcomed any sug- gestions (few though they have been) concerning the contents and purpose of a college magazine; the staff has secured its funds through advertise- ments, and it will not cost the stu- dent body a cent to edit this publi- cation; furthermore, the staff vol- unteered to do this work because no one else was enough interested, and it was not picked from a few of the editor’s chosen friends; lastly, all the money that is left from one edi- tion of our magazine will be put back into the next issue to help us make every publication better than the one which preceded it, and will not find its way into the pockets of the publishers, as has been prog- nosticated by several of the opposi- tion. Furthermore, I am positive that our staff will be willing to perform any formalities before the Publications Board. As to the Budget Committee : It would be foolish to think of ask- ing the Budget Committee to ad- vance funds to something as prema- ture as our magazine without assur- ance and proof that it would go over and be supported by the student body as a whole. Student, if is up to you! If you want a good magazine, you must do your part; if you want another staff to shoulder this responsibility, that is also absolutely up to you! Never accuse any students in our position of harboring dictatorial schemes and monopolistic practices — say, in- stead, that the students of this insti- tution have in them something akin to a pioneer spirit accompanied by some simple, whole-hearted school spirit where ECTC is the profitee and not several students. Do not look upon their well meant efforts with disdain — try to add something that will help them instead of hinder. Give us a chance that is all we can ask; that is the least we can expect ! Par Brooks. P. S.: The staff as a whole would appreciate comment from those stu- dents whose minds are free of preju- dices against the magazine which are caused by jealousy or selfishness. To the Students: What is wrong with football at our college? Is football here at ECTC just another class in Physical Edu- cation? Regardless, the game here does not resemble football at other schools. Why are our boys permit- ted to smoke an unlimited number of cigarettes, or allowed to smoke at all? If there is a training table, what is it like? You who are cheer leaders, in my opinion, should stir up enthusiasm throughout the week preceding a home game. Where are our mega- phones? And another thing, who are our football players anyway? They should be introduced in assembly to the student body. Our football games should be announced in assembly. Why can the pep meetings not be held on the vacant lot back of Cot- ton Hall instead of at the football field. More students would attend if they didn’t have to walk so far. Freshmen are disappointed when they see our football field. Visitors laugh at it. Why does it not have a name? Why not dub it Haynes Field? Dr. Haynes has done a great deal for athletics. He is whole-heart- edly in favor of them, and he has done much for them. However, I want to commend you for the splendid attendance at the game with Campbell. Those of you who do not attend the games, is it because you do not understand the game? Would you like an explana- tion of it to help you understand football better? I would. Come on, boys and girls, let’s make a name for football at our college. La Rog Moorrne.

Coach Gilbert put the 4 iboys through a light passing drill; leaving the rough work to wait until further conditioning. several of this season’s brightest prospects are still working Since out on the football field, no predic- tions, as yet, can be made concerning the season for the Pirates. However, when the full squad is able to re- port, several schools will be repre- sented on this vear’s team. Chadwick, from Elon; Spruill from State, and Lautares from Duke have trans- able for service. Regulars from last year include Donald Brock, center; sill Shelton, forward ; Tom Cox, and Harry Riddick, guards. With this array of good mate- rial on hand, Coach Gilbert should produce the best basketball team in school history. As yet, no definite schedule has been made, but indica- tions are that there will be a big schedule with a majority of the games to be played on the home floor. Until the football season has ended, Coach Gilbert will hold prac- | tice only three nights a week. These practices will include only the funda- of basketball, including: passing, defense, and shooting drills. Floyd Hinton, who last year was a valuable man on the Pirate squad, will probably be able to play before the season is well under way.

Now please don’t think that I do not know how many demands are made of teachers, but what I am going to ask you to do will afford ;you so much pleasure that it can ‘asily be classed a reception. A friend of mine once said to me, “One is never so happy as when | talking about oneself.” This is your golden opportunity. I think every- one is more or less interested in the doings of others especially when you have longed to do that thing yourself and couldn’t. During the summer months num- bers of you had interesting trips. Some traveled abroad, to the World’s Fair, Canada, and points of interest in our own state.

Blount - Harvey Tes See ee oe with your less fortunate sister and brother alumni. You kept notes of course, or maybe a diary, and you’ve been meaning to reorganize your notes ever since your return, so here is your opportunity. Write up your trip in your best and most in- teresting and entertaining style, or maybe you would like to elaborate on one special phase or incident, and mail them to me on or before November 20 and you might be sur- prised at what will happen. Let me see who will be the first. Let me urge you not to allow yourself to neglect to file in writing some happening you wish to remem- ber. You think at the time, “Well, I never will forget that,” but other experiences come crowding in and before you know it the thing you thought you never would forget has become hazy. Of course candid cam- eras are just the thing, but they are just a little ritzy for the rank and file, so my suggestion is a dime scrap book. As we grow older, we become more retrospective, and changes take place that give more time for medi- tation. Tuck away all the pleasant memories possible and keep scrap books; and one day you'll feel the urge to relive those experiences again. Thumb the pages of your scrap book and I wager you’ll chuckle all day. Some day real soon I hope you will be able to paste on a very special page in your scrap book an gcecount of some beautiful picture, humorous incident, written by you about your “Summer Wanderings.” It will be your pride and joy, and think how happy all of us will be to be able to journey with you. You will be doing us an especial favor. Sincerely, ExvizasetH Stewart BENNETT, Junior Cabinet Pres. ECTC Alumni Asso. May Play First After- Dark Game on Nov. 16 (Continued from page three) survey among the student body shows a feeling of favoritism for the sport! and the general sentiment among football enthusiasts of the faculty hinges on endorsement of the pro- posal. If a night football game is ar- ranged locally with High Point’s Panthers, the announcement will be made to the student body in ample time to prepare for the event.
