PAPER ESTABLISHES
PUBLICITY COUNCIL

(Associated Collegiate Press)

To aid campus groups in prepar-
ing and executing their public rela-
tions the University
Chicago Daily Maroon has estab-
lished a special publicity council
headed by John Stevens. When asked
to comment about this new idea in
college newspaper work, Mr. Stev-
ens said:

The council serves as an advisory
board for all campus groups desiring
publicity. We have compiled infor-

 

programs,

mation concerning all types of pub- |

licity which have been used in the
past. This information includes the
effectiveness of each of the types of
publ the methods of organizing

As for you boys, you can look out

It seems that someone has already
planned weiner roasts, pienies, water-
melon cuttings and something in the
way of intellectual entertainments
for you. There are also four tennis
courts and a swimming pool, all in
good order for you, but of course
such frivolous things could not be
expected to appeal to you. This is go-
ing to be a season in which you can
get some work done, and after all
that’s your purpose in coming; isn't
it? The weather will be ideal for
study and intellectual pursuits. It

ill be too warm for much physical
activity, but you can pack yourself
an ice cushion and curl up on it for a
nice study period.

You will also be permitted to at-
tend classes five days per week in-
stead of the usual three. That is
offered as a special privilege to sum-
mer school students. Unfortunately,
however, you will be’ permitted to
schedule only nine hours of credit!
But that isn’t so bad. You won’t

Mrs. Bernice Harris
Tells of Her Work

Mrs. Bernice Kelly Harris, Sea-
board, Eastern Carolina’s novelist
and playwright who has received
much recognition during the past
year, last week delighted an audience
of Greenville club women by her sim-
ple discussion of her use of raw ma-
iterials in her writing. Mrs. Harris
spoke at the Woman’s Club under
ithe auspices of the Greenville Branch
of the American Association of Uni-
versity Women.

Mrs. Harris was introduced by
Miss Mamie E. Jenkins of the Eng-
lish faculty of East Carolina Teach-
ers College, who had been presented
by Miss Louise Williams of the col-
lege mathematics faculty, also presi-
dent of the local A.A.U.W.

Mrs. Harris said, “I feel that uni-
versity women groups and book elubs
are friends, not just audiences.”

Then addressing herself to the peo-
ple before her with just a general
college background, and no specific
training in craftsmanship, but a de-
sire to write, she told them to go
ahead with their attempt. “Folk
Plays of Eastern North Carolina”
and “Purslane” were written by a
clubwoman with just such a back-
ground and training. “For the writer
there is in North Carolina a wealth
of material,” said the speaker.
Wherever the sky bends over people,
the writer can find material. Mrs.
Harris obtained many of her ideas
from the life in her own community
for a number of her plays.

Mrs. Harris was the guest of Miss
Louise Williams, A.A.U.W. presi-
dent, Miss Emma Hooper, and Miss
Louis Grigsby at dinner in their
apartment on Summit Street.

What Does the Future Hold for You?

With summer ahead many students are looking forward to relaxa-

tion and others are laying plans for continued study. Summer is
an ideal time for both, but instead of finding time for either, many
members of the student body, particularly the boys, are liable to
find themselves shouldering guns in the inevitable showdown for
supremacy of the Democracies over the dictatorial nations.
Recent European developments have eliminated the question:
“Will the United States enter the war?” and raised another, “How

long will she be able to remain out of the war?” It is true that a

 

3,000 mile pond separates the United States from the prevailing

turmoil on foreign shores, but the fight is nearer home than one is

inclined to realize. Foreign trade between this country and others |

is at stake. Curbing foreign trade w ould cause the United States to}
tace & |
psychology under a crazy, territory -loving maniac, who calls him-
self Adolph Hitler, is v ictorious there is going to be a serious shake- |
up in the world. |

If the United States enters the war it will mean that thousands of |
young men will be taken from classrooms of colleges and univ ersities |
who!
at home will eventually be compelled to eat sparingly to!

throughout the nation and placed on the firing line; women
remain
enable the men abroad to survive; thousands will be murdered, as |
war is premeditated murder disguised as a fight for principles,
and emergency measures will have to be taken relative to the mone-
tary setup of the nation. Entering the war will result in young men
and women bearing its darkened burdens. Only time will tell what

the future holds for any of us!

Today's Seniors Tomorrow’s Teachers

When this year’s seniors undertake the task of handling boys
and girls in classrooms throughout the state, they will find them-
selves confronted with many problems. In view of the fact that
development of schools varies with views of taxpayers in supporting
schools, some of the seniors will find school plants they enter ideal,
while others will be undesirable. Making the best of the situation at
hand is a challenge for all seniors who follow the teaching field after
graduation. How well they do despite obstacles will determine to a
great extent their success.

Teachers of today are underpaid for their efforts in developing
the intellect and making better citizens of young boys and girls,
but previous sessions of General Assembly appear not to have}

realized this. A well-balanced state is a fine thing, but education

should not be neglected in balancing the scales. Teachers, like]

anyone else, are confronted with the problem of making a living

Their job is just as important as that of anyone else on a state pay |

roll. What they are paid for their services is important, too.

The North Carolina Education Association is offering a fine
legislative program for teacher progress. As long as the teachers
of North Carolina stand on the sidelines and do not support those
things which will improve their financial status, then nothing 1s

yong

g to be done about low salaries for teachers. Any senior will do}
wise to affiliate thimself with the organization of state teachers and
assist in fostering its objectives. Everything worthwhile that is
accomplished today is done with a fight. The fight is yours, seniors. |
And the severity of this battle will determine whether you are aided

in overcoming financial setbacks.

Something About Policies for 1940-41

Tie Teco Ecuo will in 1940-41 strive to go forward and pro-
mote any transition that will tend to give impetus to the progressive-
ness of both the newspaper and the school. No thinker gives a hurried
answer when a problem arises that deserves consideration. That’s
why we are not undertaking to say we favor this and disapprove
that before the problems arise. If we knew all the problems we are
going to face in the coming year perhaps we could offer something
more definite. After all, something that might look favorable on the
deemed unfavorable when investigated. When
school problems arise they will be given careful consideration. We
are a progressive newspaper in a progressive educational institu-
tion. We shall strive to promote all things that will foster progres-
siveness among members of the student body and fire a volley against
those things which tend to hinder instead of help the development
of East Carolina Teachers College.

New Staff Assumes its Responsibilities

In a newspaper office, as in any other profession, there are those
who rise from the ranks and assume the responsibiities of their pred-
ecessors. Even though the new editors and business managers will
handle more advanced duties during the ensuing school year by
virtue of having risen from the ranks, they will not be experiencing
an era of drastic changes, but will merely carry on where others
have left off.

Since most of this year’s staff are being lost through graduation,
and others have been elevated to positions of executive leadership
on other campus publications, THz Teco Ecuo in 1940-41 will
be edited by much new material. The staff will not be new in a sense
of experience, but in the sense of working on the staff of a college
publication. Each member of the staff is eager to lend a helping
hand in producing a good student newspaper, and his colleagues in
the editorial department have accepted this offer.

While retracing this year’s activities we cannot overlook the
diligent efforts of those whom we have succeeded. Their endeavors
will be a star for the new staff to shoot at. The new year will provide
an outlet for new members to learn new things in the matter of
editing a newspaper, and they will be able to echo their learning
through the quality of the work they produce.

Graduation Glass Of 1940 Boasts
Two Sets Childhood Bosom Pals

This year’s graduation class has|
in its midst two pairs of twins.
They aren't really twins, but they
have been chums as inseparable as
twins practically all their lives.

The first pair of these bosom pals
is Marian Allen and Alice Bragg,
who have roomed together in Room
133, Jarvis Hall, since they first en-
tered ECTC as freshmen in the fall
jof 1936. The two found each other
when they were in the fifth grade
and have been separated for only a
few short intervals since that time.
!They graduated together from Wil-
ton High School in Granville County
in the spring of 1936. The follow-
ing fall both enrolled as grammar
lerade majors at ECTC. From the
first registration they insisted upon
identical class schedules. Sometimes
they were placed in different sec-|
tions, and were obliged to use a lit-
|tle diplomacy with the teachers in
order to get together, but somehow
|they have always managed.

Both girls beeame members of the
Emerson Literary Society. They
also served in the Methodist Stu-
dent Cabinet. They did their prac-
‘tice teaching at the same time, but in
\different grades.

With one exception they have been
‘home the same week-ends during all
jfour years of their college career.

| These two are also look-alikes.
They are both blondes and are of the
same height. Sometimes they have
en their best friends become con-
fused and call on the other’s name.
Alice’s eyes twinkled as she told}
the interviewer that they have always
gone “fifty-fifty” on most proposi-
tions, even the house cleaning. How-
e said there was a little dis-
agreement when it came to the ques-
tion of using their spare time. Alice

their houses face each other. They
attended Atlantic High School from
which they graduated in 1936. They
have roomed together during all
their four years in this college, but
they have not always lived in the
same room. This year they have

Audrey majors in primary and
Mildred in grammar grade work, but
each has music as her other major.
Incidentally, they are two of the
jthree music majors who graduate
jthis year, Page Davis being the
third. Both have been members of
college orchestra, band, and
Glee Club during their careers at
ECTC. They will continue their
work in music next year, for Au-

Mildred will direct the grammar
