On a campus, as ours where two student lgovernments exist, both should co- Joperate whole-heartedly.

We urge you, seniors, to visit the campus this year on High School Day and enjoy a full day of college life. Come early and stay late. School Spirit With Colors Flying Frequently it has been said that our students lacked school spirit, but we have definite proof that this is not so as was evidenced at the recent dedication and homecoming day exercises. It took quite a bit of patience, codperation, and willingness to make the day go off as it should on the part of the student body when they stood out in the bitter cold for over an hour waiting for| the procession to start. Many of these students were without coats and were clad in thin white dresses with short sleeves, but they remained to participate in the day’s exercises. The students are to be congratulated upon their patient cobpera-| tion and their splendid show of school spirit on this occasion. E.C.T.C. is definitely proud of them. Lack of Interest in Elections The vote is said to be one of the most powerful weapons that any individual has, but evidently the majority of the students did not think so at the reeent student elections. On this occasion only 884 students, both boys and girls, voted for the editors and business managers of the publications, and only $43 voted for the heads of the Women’s Student Government; Association in the first election and 313 in the second election. That means that only approximately one-third of the student body went to the polls to vote. Where were the other two-thirds of the students when the election took place? The only answer is that! they did not come to the polls. This evidences very little interest on the part of the majority of the students in the affairs of their college for which there is little excuse. Certainly they know who was running for the various offices because these candidates were nominated and introduced at a previous mass meeting which the student body was required to attend. Also the names of the nominees were posted on the bulletin boards for approximately two weeks in advance of the election. Frequently the majority of the students complain about never having anything to do with the functions of the major organiza- tions, yet when they get a chance to vote and express their opinions they do not even recognize an opportunity to function. It is the duty and the privilege of every student to vote for their campus officials. Next year if anything ever comes up which the students do not like, they will have no comeback because they failed to function when they had the opportunity. Let’s Keep Our Campus Pretty S. J. Dearback, head coach of the Westinghouse Apprentice School, East Pittsburgh, Pa., remarked on the beauty of the E.C.T.C. campus recently while visiting here. He stated, “Gee, you’ve got a beautiful campus. I did my schooling at Carnegie Tech and thought it had something in the way of a pretty campus. Your campus here is something swell.” However Mr. Dearback would probably not think this campus will remain a beautiful campus if he could have seen a number of our students abusing it as some have been doing recently. ‘With the coming of spring many flowering shrubs are blossom- ing over our campus and these add quite a bit of attraction to the loveliness of our campus. But it so happens that this shrubbery was placed there for beauty and for no other purpose—at least not for the purpose of being picked as some students seem to think. A number of students have been plucking these lovely blossoms and leaving the bushes bare. This is not the right way to treat other people’s property. 2 Students, let’s keep in mind that these blossoms look much better on the bushes where all can enjoy them rather than off the bushes where only a few can enjoy them, and refrain from plucking them in the future. Defense ef Practice Teachers Once again Green Lights has brought to the fore the needless jand foolish agitation on the part of the Greenville high school itowards practice teachers. And once again the Teco Ecuo will jattempt to defend the standards which the college upholds in practice teaching. In the first place we would like to point out that Green Lights lin a recent editorial stated that “in many ways the advantages of practice teaching in the high school outweigh the disadvantages.” We are glad that they made this statement. But we see no reason why they should continue to harp on poorly prepared practice teachers. We answered that in a former editorial. To their objec- tions that an average of a “3” is not high enough for practice teaching, we would like to add that it is the state requirement for certification. If this is not high enough to suit them, then the fault lies not with E.C.T.C. but with the State. Many of our present practice teachers have come up through the Greenville school system—to be exact approximately 15 per cent of our student body—and they are in the position to judge both sides of the disturbance. These students contend that anyone who is willing to learn in the local high school can easily profit by practice teachers. Furthermore if the high school students were half as willing to codperate with the student teachers as they are with the high school students, there wouldn’t be half so much criti- cism. The practice teachers aren’t down there for the fun of it, as it is a requirement which they must pass to graduate and they go down there with the determination to do good. Therefore they put forth their greatest effort to be codperative and to help the class. If the students would do likewise they would help the situa- tion greatly. It is the general opinion of many E.C.T.C. practice teachers that if they were better backed by high school critic teachers and administration that things would run smoother. For instance when students are sent from the room to the office, the administration frequently sends them back the next day without any form of punishment. This gives the students an opportunity to defy the teacher because she is not sufficiently backed. What can anyone expect of a poor teacher in such a position because the student can get by with anything they wish? With the college paying a supplement to the critic teachers it has enabled the students to have better teachers than they ordi- narily would in a high school of that size, and with these better teachers to supervise and back practice teachers the situation should be ideal. The Teco Ecuo is prone to believe that if G.H.S. would focus all of her criticism and prejudice of practice teachers toward their own lack of equipment in several fields, their efforts would not be so futile and would probably result in something more profitable. a candidate wins with a majority] vote unless otherwise stated in the] constitution. And it so happened that} this was not stated in the constitu-| tion. Over this point is where there was such a great contrast of opinion.} (Signed) A Co-Ep. The Pirates regained the trophy in aj basketball game last quarter. | No Grouping This Year | In previous High School Day pro- grams college students from various counties sending high school stu- dents to the College for the annual program have organized with the} view of assisting in grouping the delegations from their counties. Since the delegates will not be grouped by counties in the’ Robert H. Wright auditorium, the ECTC} students are not organizing this year. However, they have expressed the intention of cooperating with the various committeemen in making the stay of students from their counties a most enjoyable one. Program Plans Registration will get under way in the Robert H. Wright building lobby at 9:30 o’clock. The softball game will start at 10 o’clock. After the game guests will assemble at the municipal swimming pool and march to the Wright auditorium. The Elizabeth City band by name, and Pasquotank County-wide high school band in reality, will lead the parade and furnish the music for the brief program in the Wright building after the march is concluded. Following a roll call by counties, President L. R. Meadows will de- liver the address of welcome. The mixed chorus of the College will offer special vocal selections, after which there will be recognition of special guests. This phase of the program will be concluded: at 12:45 and the guests and students will then go to the west campus for a tempting barbecue luncheon.

The program arranged the annual event this year is designed to show the visitors that both play and study prevail for a student in college.

LY SPORTS SCHEDULES NEEDED practice of most colleges and universities of the country to schedules as many as two or three years in advance. As ls are able to gain representation in nationally-known pers and magazines. ECTC has escaped such representa- cnition because schedules are prepared late. Of course, this the fault ‘of physical education department heads within because of changes in personnel. However, it is not too mapping next year’s playing schedules. If they are ly. publieity sources of the eollege can do a better job ed publicity in its proper place. Then when newspapers nd the college rather early for a schedule, it will not many excuses. Editors will accept excuses occasionally, ictance. What they like are results.

Let’s hand them an Unpleasant surprise in this year’s big classic. Being Mapped Athletic director O. A. Hankner announces that there will be an ex-/ tensive intramural athletic program | held throughout the Spring quarter, | in the boy’s department. The deadline for entries in soft- ball, tennis, ping pong and horse shoes will be April 9. All entries must have been filled by that date, and the intramural season will pos- sibly begin on Thursday April 11. If the boys show much interest as has been witnessed during pre- ceding years, the program this year will draw more entries than ever before. The athletic head also is making plans for an intramural track meet to be held early in May. This has not been tried on this campus before and should create a great deal of| interest. Any student will be eligi-| ble to vie for individual honors, and | all entries will be given a chance to! show their ability. The deadline for | entries in the track meet has not vet been announced but will be posted in plenty of time for individual participation.
