Picklesimer confined her discussion to the three great women columnists, | Dorothy I Dorothy Thompson, and Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt. She showed in her discussion how each of women in her own in- dividual manner is reaching the eyes and ears of the public today. The intluence of these three women. is being felt more and more every day.

The members of the Glee Club consist of the men students of the University of North Carolina. After the performance the senior class will entertain the club at an informal dance.

Would-Be Hooky Player Soon Learns Jenkins Means Business About Cuts By LaRUE MOORING Good ole “hooky”! It’s the same ole fascinating game. But it’s only Miss Jenkins who plays Aunt Polly and goes to get her Tom Sawyer. Oral English was made royal comedy the day a little boy decided to “cut.” A diller, a dollar, this ten o’clock scholar was determined not to be one ‘that day. It so happened that Miss Jenkins had presented a paper to each one in her class, and intended for the class to keep them. Apparently the wanderer was under the impression Jenkins the dispatch, the fateful paper, with word that the sender could not come to class that day. “Wait a minute,” boomed Miss Jenkins determinedly. “I know where he is.” And this purpose- ful woman took off. Off she flew to the old swimming hole where all ECTC truants go—namely the “Y” store. In she sailed and made a three point landing on the culprit. Having clutched him by the sleeve, she, just like a crane, hauled him out the door to her room above. And before the awe stricken as well that they were to be returned. Therefore, on this particular morn- ing, Mercury,“a little girl, bore a message of vital import.

An Apology in Order Action recently taken by the Y.W.C.A. and the Y.MLC.A. execu- | nets in closing the *Y” Reading room to the student body, ied. If the students do not know how to appreciate the ‘ge extended to them by the two associations as all evidence} points out, then they do not deserve such a place for their con-| venience The Y.M.C.A. and the Y.W.C.A. did not have to open their cabinet room to the use of the students, but they were kind enough to want to let others enjoy their room, their magazines, their books, and their comfortable chairs. So they opened their doors to the whole college. They spent money and time in fixing up this room so that it would be just as convenient and comfortable as possible. They bought many of the leading magazines to place around the room and they bought good modernistic lamps which provide the best light possible for reading. They bought ash trays so that the students might smoke in there, and they built book cases to accommodate stray books and magazines. In addition to this, the “Y” members spent many hours working down there getting the place ready for use. And to what avail did they spend all this money and time? Only to have their reading room and their property abused and kicked around. What a disillusion to have trusted the students in taking advantage of an extended privilege and then lose it by virtue of not being able to respect the rights of others and failing to adhere to established principles of good manners. One thing that hurt so badly about the use of the room was the fact students abused their privileges in there when the room was provided by two religious organizations. Then too people who wanted to use the place as it should have been were made to feel out of place, because others who were abusing the privileges were so boisterous. The Y.W.C.A. and the Y.M.C.A. have no intention of sponsoring such things. The student body owes an apology to the two “Y’s” for their misconduct and carelessness in the use of the “Y” Reading Room. Perhaps if the students can convince the “Y” cabinets that they can act decently and can respect others’ property, they might consider reopening their room to the college. nouncements and for a couple of | him quiet instead of trying to steal no matter who did it.

They! should inform them some other place and let us go dance or maybe, get all painted up for a date. ‘‘That last mass meeting was punk,’ I head a student exclaim. ‘‘I could have shot Alton Payne for getting up and starting something when the meeting was almost ready to ad- journ.’’ Do you know the purpose of having mass meetings? If you don’t it is time you were finding out. Just the other day I heard a senior say: “You know, I never knew the im- portance of mass meetings until re- eently.’’ Why wait that long to find out? I did the same thing and you probably are doing the same thing now. Mass meetings are the only time students can express their opinion before the student body. It is through these meetings that the worthwhile things concerning us take place, yet some of us have a dirty attitude toward these meet- ings. Every time we assemble in mass meeting the student body is in such a rush to get out that they vote for anything before them in order to get out. For what-—I have no idea. At the last mass meeting the stu- dents were in such a rush to get out that they voted to do away with something and then voted to have another that included the same thing that they had just voted to do away with. If this is clear cut thinking then I’m a_bow-legged bumble bee. Future Teachers of America—Why have a head if you aren’t going to use it? Another thing is the courtesy that is employed in our mass meet- ings—Why everyone is so quiet that you could hear a mouse run across the floor. Or can you?

The administration shortly after- ward complied, and we do have a flag flying in front of the Austin building. Contrary to the belief of many students, this flag is not flown in rain or snow, nor is it flown after dark. Every morning around seven o’clock workmen can be seen rais- ing the flag and every evening at five-thirty it is lowered. This pro- cedure takes place every day but Sunday unless inclement weather interferes. I think the student body would all agree that the flag flying on front campus adds a great deal to the looks of the school, and I here- by give my vote of thanks to the ad- ministration in appreciation for their codperation. Aside from the good that flying the flag does on the campus, it can aid in swelling the pride of persons pass- ing the college in automobile or while walking. The street on which East Carolina Teachers College is situated is one of the six main high- ways radiating from Greenville. When visitors come here from neighboring towns and see the flag flying, they are certain to return to their respective towns and comment that a spirit of material democracy apparently prevails on the campus aS 5 Eset That’s a poor exeuse.

Mr. Crouch, who spoke on the na- tional situation and on choosing a vocation, is the “Y” quarterly for this quarter. He spoke at the regular meeting in chapel on Tues-| day; again at vespers on Tuesday night; and at twelve o’clock in the Austin Auditorium on Wednesday. In his address at the regular chapel Mr. Crouch said that he was more interested in college students than in the war situation, but that since they would be directly tied up in it some time in the future, it | was of vital importance. Saying ne| that both sides lost no matter which won technically, Mr. Crouch main- tained that we would have war until W.

Varsity Club is Really Forging Ahead! Never before in college history has the Varsity shown more progress than during the current school year. Heretofore the Varsity Club has Sixty WAA Girls To See Big Tilt At Chapel Hill “Play Day” Program Set for February 17 A trip of 60 persons to the Duke- Carolina game being played in Chap- el Hill tomorrow night, a “Play Day” in which students of several leading women’s colleges of North Carolina will be represented, and an intramural basketball program are sandwiched around the current ac- i of the Women’s Athletic s members of the Women’s Athletic Association, along with Miss Helen McElwain, head of women’s athleties at the college, will journey to Chapel Hill tomorrow and see two outstanding “Big Five” basket- ball teams in action. The girls will spend tomorrow night in Durham, attend the Sunday worship in the Duke University Chapel and return to Greenville Sunday afternoon. Although complete plans for the “Play Day” have not been mapped, it has been decided to hold the affair on February 17. It is known defi- nitely that representatives of Wom- an’s College, U.N.C., and Atlantic Christian College will be here. Other schools that have been sent invita- tions include Meredith and Black- stone. The program, including bas- ketball and indoor sports, will get started at 10 o’clock in the morning and be coneluded around 4 o’clock in the afternoon. First round play in the “Round Robin” tourney of the intramural program got under way last week with nine teams entered in the com- petition. All the teams will see much action during the quarter and after play is concluded an All-Star team will be selected. Team captains follow: Kem Tom- linson, “X” team,and Mabelle Pol- lock. team, of Fleming Hall; Doris Roberts, “X,’ and Eunice Herry, “Y” of Cotten Hall; Eva MeMillan, “Y” and Dorothy Dal- rymple, “X” of Wilson Hall; Mar- garet Wood, “X” and Ester Parker, “Y,.” Jarvis Hall, and Mary Mullen, acting captain of the town team. In opening play of the program the town team defeated the Jarvis “Y”; Fleming’s “X” overpowered When the photographer took a picture of the entire squad recently, it didn’t develop. When this misfortune; oeeurred, he decided to get another. After going to a practice for a picture, he found eight play seen action this season.

The Pirates led 20-17 at the half. One of the best games came on January 31 with the Raleigh White the Cotton “X” and Jarvis “X” turned back the Wilson “X.” Varsity Club Plans Tourney In an effort to promote continued interest in athletics among its mem- bers the Varsity Club is planning a well-rounded program in_ athletics for all members of the club, with the program set to get under way during the spring. Douglas Glover and Walter Mo- ritz, designated to work out a pro- gram for the Varsity Club, explained the activities would include all kinds of indoor sports such as badminton, table tennis, shuffleboard, darts and others. And here’s a surprise. It is pos- sible that girls may be given an op- portunity to pair with the boys in tennis, ping pong and badminton doubles. Even though this idea is merely a proposal, the boys are said to be giving it serious consideration. Since the program has been de- signed solely for members of the Varsity Club, it has been decided to award trophies to champions in the various fields of sport featured in the competition. It was pointed out by Bill Shelton, president of the Varsity Club, that small trophies would go to certain winners, but would not be retained by them. The names of the winners will be placed on the trophies, which will be kept in a trophy case of the Varsity Club. Sponsored successful dances and really went to the fore last quarter when it presented ‘‘The Milky Way.’’ Now they have something else planned—an idea destined to promote interest in athletics at East Carolina Teachers College. Their proposal calls for awarding trophies— to be purchased by the elub—and bearing the name of eontest winners. Instead of allowing the player to retain the trophy, however, it would be placed in a trophy ease of the Varsity Club. Too Much Emphasis on Athletics? Ramsay Potts of Greenville declared in a Vesper service recently that colleges and universities of the nation are placing too much emphasis on intercollegiate athletics. Most any person can reach such a conclusion since developments in the field of sports is more widely publicized than educational progressiveness. We have no eonerete facts about the extent of the emphasis that is sandwiched e g h emphasis nape to realize A ie growth, In our opinion, schools that emphasize athletics to a considerable degree are not thinking about the physical development of men students enrolled in the school, but solely for the publicity the school gets. ‘Whert Duke University is mentioned, we de not think of the valusble training it gives ity students, but of the East-Weet elsesic its “Irom Dukes played in the Rose Bow! in Californie two years ago: More and more the Public is thinking in terms of athletic teams a school turns out.

The capital city boys breezed to point-making procedures in the first and second half, winning 50-48. The score was tied 24-24 at inter- mission. Rocky Mount’s Y.M.C.A. cagers lacked strong offensive and defens- ive material in a game played on January 29 and resulted in a 79-27 victory for the determined Pirates, who were on the big end of a 31-15 half-time score. Louisburg College, which had only one left-over from last season, could not thwart the tactics of the favored- to-win Pirates last Saturday night and lost 83-27 for one of the largest scores ever put on the Pirate score- board in a basketball game. At in- termission, the Pirates were ahead 36-13. Donald Brock turned out to be the Pirates’ scoring ace in all games com- bined, scoring 26 points in the White Flash game for the largest indi- vidual score of the four-day series. Brock scored 74 points in all the games. George Lautares, who scored 24 points in the Rocky Mount “Y” game had a combined record of 56 points for the four games. Bill Shel- ton was credited with 44 points in the four games. Harry Riddick, ealled for duty during all the games, turned in a fine offensive performance. Floyd Hinton was out of one of the games because of flu, but he did well in the others. Dave Watson was up to his usual good standard in the games. Jimmy Dempsey, who has seen quite a bit of action recently, fought hard in the games. Tom Cox has proved that he can display fine teamwork in a game, as has Kelly Martin. INJURED Walter Rodgers, popular E.C.T.C. athlete, is nursing an injury received recently in an intramural basketball game. Rodgers’ physician ordered that he refrain from active par- ticipation in sports and that’s what he’s been doing for the time being. Although he cannot play bas- ketball any time soon with the Tigers, whom he captains in the intramural program, Rodgers is managing his team from the bench.
