While it isn’t advisable for the average college student to undertake such an Her- culean task, a group of workers with a couple of contractors can do the job very well. In the case of the col- lege the result was a new classroom building. What the result would be if an individual started the work— well, “there just ain’t no tellin’.” The area covered by the new class- room building is approximately 66 acres which would make a pretty good sized potato patch in any man’s land. The people who have to wash the windows will only have to go over 4,500 square feet of window space. The person or persons who sweep the floors will have to do only five times as much as the window washers will do. : Another dandy thought is what would happen to a person if the largest stone in the building, weigh- layer laid from 800 to 1,000 bricks a day which in itself ain’t any mean trick. Of the funds used in the construc- tion, the state paid approximately 55 per cent and the federal govern- ment came in with a contribution of a slight 45 per cent. The average weekly wage of the workers on the building was about $12.00. The new building is a pipe lover’s heaven. There are cold water pipes, hot water pipes, steam pipes, gas pipes, big pipes, little pipes, small pipes, smaller pipes, and just plain pipes. That’s a pretty good) sized| pipe dream.

The appointment was made by Governor Hoey February 29, 1940. As yet the twins have not definitely decided to accept the invitation but they stated that they would prob- ably do so very soon.

Approximately $325,000 was ap- propriated in the fall of 1938 by the North Carolina state legislature and the Federal Works Project. Ad- ministration for a new classroom building at East Carolina Teachers College. Of this amount $300,000 was to be spent for the construction and the remainder was to be spent for equipment. The lot between the Science build- ing and the Infirmary was selected for the site of the new three-story building which has a 221-foot front and two wings: of 188 feet each. Plans for the building were drawn up by Eric G. Flanagan, architect from Henderson, N. C. The building Committee was made up of E. G. Flanagan, Greenville; O. P. Make- peace, Sanford; and Henry Bridges, Tarboro. Early in November Dr. Meadows announced that the project would other departments which have not yet been decided upon. In December of the same year the Gregory Construction Company of Raleigh received the contract for general construction. This company submitted the low bid of $253,253, which figure includes the electrical work. The Wiggins Plumbing Com- pany of Wilson was awarded the plumbing contract for $22,351, and the heating work went to C. L. Russ Company of Greenville. * Ground was broken on the first of January after two weeks of clearing trees and brush from the site. Throughout January and February 1939 excavation work and the con- struction of the wall foundations progressed rapidly in spite of un- favorable weather conditions.

We Reply to Green Lights Our attention has been called to an editorial in a recent issue Green Lights, student newspaper of Greenville High School, which bore the following title—Unpreparedness of Practice Teach- Drawback to High School Students.” We quote this editorial : “For years editorials, containing numerous suggestions for im- provements, have been written on the subject, ‘Why Don’t We Have Better Practice Teachers?’ However there seems to have been little effort made by those in authority to improve or remedy the deplorable situation. “J leg in some way when the practice teachers are chosen, the col- ge officials could be more certain that their knowledge, genuine ability. and personal fitness to teach the subject is sufficient to meet the requirements of G.H.S. students, perhaps the situation would be greatly improved.” The inference of the above editorial is that our student practice teachers are not well versed in subject matter and that they should he bo'ter chosen before they are allowed to teach in the Greenville Hie! School. Porhans some of our practice teachers do not have some of these qual but such is the case with some teachers with years of with some preachers, doctors, and lawyers, and such with some students. odmit that we aren’t perfect and we probably never will be, '» contend that after an individual has spent three years in celove specializing in one field that he will most probably have 14 minimum of knowledge in that subject so as to be able “+ adequately. And if there are some things that he does he certainly has access to a much better stocked library “oo than the G.HLS. library in which he can find material “eally any topic under discussion. \» editorial makes a false implication when it refers to the neces “'~ ef eollege officials in picking those whom they let practice teach in G.H.S. The college does have certain requirements that stu -* ore made to meet before they may practice teach. Each apn’ ont for nractice teaching must have a scholastic average of «wou all his college work before he will be admitted to the ah tanchineg aroun. In order to do this a person must have acquired a certain amount of knowledge in this subject or else expr aca to t not! int! on ay nr When it became necessary to close our reading room no one was more regretful of the fact than those who worked so hard to make such a thing possible. All the purposes for which} | it stood had become impossibilities because some few persons chose to make it a room that was fit for anything but quiet reading and meditation. Not all the troubles and complaints have ceased but there has been a decided improvement, and now there is no reason we can’t keep our room if every one will make herself or himself a commit- *Y"* Reading Room should be kept —a place where we would like to invite our friends when they come to our campus—a place that would do eredit to our ‘‘Y.’’ Your codperation has been appre- ciated, and if each student will be- " "tee of one to see that it is kept as aj} ist beeause he or she happens to be your friend. If he or she is|< those of the opposite sex and some of our worthless loafing males are inclined to be a little conceited, but! they don’t deserve the let down they sometimes receive. At the large quarter dances only} ‘a few of the college boys are able to} secure dates, and the largest ma-| jority of the girls bring anything that has the slightest appearance of being a male. The dance floor is so full of outside boys that they almost equal the number of girls. The sit- uation may be described as a stickey dance and the. poor co-eds are posi- tively ignored and in other words have a rotten time. It is nothing but a shame and a raw deal for the boys on the campus to be so abused by their schoolmates on an occasion like this. GIRLS !!! YOU SHOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS!!!

The efforts on the part of Green Lights to acclaim the student teachers are deficient in educational training and that the admin- istration is not doing its part in selecting those who teach do not have full grounds for accusation. We are prone to believe that these remarks reflect the sentiments of an “irritated” few rather than the feelings of the student body of G.HLS. as a whole. A Boost from a Local Editor East Carolina Teachers College is one of Greenville’s greatest assets and since its establishment it has probably been the cause of bringing as many new residents to Greenville as any other industry or organization. The college is a state institution and it seems that for a long time we have just taken for granted that it didn’t belong to us. It is gratifying that there is at this time a growing spirit of codperation between our citizens and the college which should result in greater things for both the college and our city. Despite the fact that the plant at the college has been added to from time to time and another new building wil] be dedicated early next month, there is still a need for more dormitory space for both men and women. It will not be long before the budget commission will begin to plan for the appropriations to be asked from the next General Assembly for the state institutions and if Greenville and Pitt County citizens will put their shoulders to the wheel, we believe that some of these needed additions to the college can be secured.— Daily Reflector.

Work was speeded up during the summer vacation by favorable weath- er conditions and by September nearly all the external work was com- pleted. Attention was then centered upon the interior and such work as laying tile floors, plastering the walls, put- ting in woodwork, etc. began and finally after much trouble with the installation of the equipment the building was completed and accepted on February 29, 1940, by the Build- ing Committee.

This work was started last spring quarter by Joe Biggs, Science ma- jor from Washington, North Caro- lina, who is now director of the Science Museum group. Joe started out by making a few skins of local birds and now with the aid of sev- eral other science students the de-; partment has a sizable collection} of mounted bird specimens, skele- tons, and easts. In the taxidermy department} there are approximately 50 com- pleted mounts and skins of which some of the most outstanding are: a long-eared owl, mount- ed by John Morrison; a red- tailed hawk, contributed by Dr. Slay and mounted by Joe Biggs; a Canada goose contributed and mounted by John Morrison; and a number of other excellent speci- mens. As his assistants Joe has had valuable help from John Morrison, Beaufort, and Jessie Keith, Atkin- son. The Osteological work has been! done largely by Mary Horne of} Greenville.

Local Students Ten Per Cent Of Student Body During the present quarter there are 306 day students attending E.C.T.C. About one-third of these, constituting approximately 10 per cent of the entire student body, are graduates of Greenville High School. This is more than the average num- ber of G.H.S. graduates which is 95 per quarter. Among those G.H.S. graduates and residents of Greenville who hold important offices on the cam- pus are Harvey Deal, editor of the Tecoan; Dorothy Hollar, editor of the Teco Ecno; Helen Flanagan, business manager of the Teco Eco; James Whitfield, sports editor of ‘the Teco Ecxo; Barbara Keuzen- kamp, Mary Horne, and Elizabeth Meadows, associate editors of the Trco Ecno; and Mary Agnes Deal, business manager of the Teco Ecno. Besides these are Mary Lou But- ner, president of the A.C.E.; Ethel Gaston, president of the Ki Pi Club; Walter Tucker, vice president of the Men’s Student Council; and John David Bridges, treasurer of the sen- ior class. The students have also been out- standing in dramatic work on the campus in many of the clubs, in the fraternity and sorority, on the new Constitution Committee and organ- izations on the campus. Tom Parrish, Waylan Tucker, and Tom Cox have been outstanding in various athletic activities.

For Award Miss Mamie Ruth Tunstall of Greenville is an E.C.T.C. alumna who has had a most successful ca- reer in the business world since graduating from the college from a two-year normal course. After grad- uation, Miss Tunstall later studied for one year at Martha Washington College, Washington, D. C. She taught a few years in Bayboro, N. C.; Grimesland, N. C.; and en- gaged in Community School work in Swannanoa. In 1936 Miss Tunstall entered the insurance business and is still with the Equitable Life Assurance So- ciety. Meeting qualifications based on production, she has taken the courses given by the company and has received the degree of Profes- sional Life Underwriter (S.L.U.) in life underwriting. Recently she completed a special course in life underwriting, Equitable Assured Estates (E.A.E.). As a reward for production, Miss Tunstall was on the seventy-fifth anniversary of the company, the only woman in- surance representative in North Carolina and Virginia to win a trip to New York for a meeting cele- brating the occasion. Arley V. Moore Is Indispensable To ECTC Campus Miss Arley V. Moore is an alum-| na of E.C.T.C who is indispensable to the college. Miss Moore was grad- uated. from the two-year normal course of the college, and after graduation she started working as} Dormitory Matron with Mrs. Beck- with, lady principal. She has re- mained with the college over the period of years and is now House- keeper. Miss Moore taught for sev- eral years in the county schools. Miss Moore is greatly to be ad- mired because of the fineness of her person. A more sincere, honest or reliable individual is difficult to find. She goes about doing her work in a quiet, unassuming manner— never bringing herself to the front. ‘As one friend says, “When you come down to the fundamentals, she is all there.” Over a period of several genera- tions, Miss Moore’s people have lived in Pitt County. She has made her home in the county all her life. The college is also her home, and is a home for the students and the faculty because Miss Moore gives it the beauty of cleanliness and order.

The tennis team of East Carolina Teachers College, to be coached again this season by Dr. H. C. Haynes, will oyfen the 1940 schedule on March 15 when they engage the strong Presbyterian College Netters of South Carolina. While in the neighboring State they will tangle with the University of South Carolina on March 18 and The Citadel on March 19. The first home game will be played March 25 with Boston University, the most distant team the netters will con- front this season. Several boys are turning out daily for preliminary practices. However, with such an array of material in the fore, the matter of selecting the material for the var- sity will promote keen competition. Boys who saw action last season and who are ted to garner a berth on the varsity this year include Douglas Glover, Herbert Wilkerson and Charley Harris. Charley un- derwent an appendectomy some time ago, but is expected to enroll for study and tennis in the Spring.
