Tennis Courts Could Use
A Little More Attention

For the next half year tennis is going
to play a large part in the recreational activi-
ties of a sizeable portion of our student body.
It would be fine if even more students would
come out for the exercise, sunshine, and fel-
lowship involved in this internationally loved
sport

However, with the E. C. T. C. courts
in their present very poor condition of up-
keep, it is doubtful if much more interest in
tennis on this campus can be stimulated. In-
deed, it is doubtful, under prevailing con-
ditions even present interest can be sustain-
ed, for what is more disheartening to the
Foursome than to go down to the “Choco-
winity” courts and find them unlined and
full of holes, and then go up to the popular
courts beside the dining hall (kept up by
unpaid volunteers), only to find there a long
waiting list. (which often includes a few
Greenville young men not in school here).

We definitely need our tennis courts
kept in fine playing condition, and we re-
spectfully ask the administration member
ible for such to help us out on the
vy. In a recent men’s smoker Dr. Me-
promised his co-operation, and we
racket-swingers, both actual and potential,
certainly shall appreciate it.

beforehand not to meddle.

 

Maybe these suggestions are not at all
the right ones, but taking in the rays of the
sun is a thing that is very much in demand
during the spring and summer. It has been
said that a great deal of sun helps in some
way to ward off colds during the vvider
months and for students who are under-
weight, it is by far healthier than any medi-
cine they could find.

The majority of the students know that
the inside courts between the wings of the
dormitories are not the ideal places for sun
baths, but now the Faculty council has pass-
ed the rule that a student wear the regular
outfit they wear on the tennis courts. That
is probably best for the inside courts, but
they do not get. much sun.

What we ask is that something be done
about getting a temporary place for taking
sunbaths and later, if humanly possible, a
permananent place that satisfies everyone
anl causes no conflict between the faculty
and the students.

Welcome To
Alumni Veterans

 

Dear Veteran Alumni:

We rejoice at your return to the campus
of your Alma Mater. We are proud of you
for the part you played in defending our
homeland and the civilization of the world
successfully against enemies that seemed to
disregard all accepted codes of honor. That
part of the struggle is behind us—let’s for-
get it. Let us now dedicate ourselves to the
building of a better—a more unified world.

This day is yours; may you enjoy it to
the fullest in the fellowship of veterans,
faculty, students and friends.

Sincerely,
Howard J. McGinnis, Acting President

 

Dear Veterans:

It is indeed a Great pleasure to wel-
come veterans back to their school home
on the campus of the college. We hope that
you will feel this day is set apart to welcome
you back to something that is a part of you
and that you are a part of in thought, in
action and in more complete living. So we
greet you in the name of something that is
yours and that you are it’s, East Carolina
Teachers Coliege.

Chairman of Committee.

Dear Friends:

For the members of the Teco Echo staff
and on my own behalf, I extend a cordial

the campus for another home coming day.
We are looking forward to your visit and

Dear Friends:

On behalf of the Veterans Club and as
one of your old classmates I wish to welcome
you back to your old Alma Mater. A num-
ber of years have passed since we were all
together and I am sure that all of us will
have many interesting experiences to tell.

The program committee has a fine pro-
gram set for you and I feel sure that you
will enjoy the day. All members of the Vet-
erans Club will be on hand to help you in
every way possible, so don’t fail to call on us.

Here’s hoping that this home coming
day will make up for the ones that you have
missed.

I am looking forward to seeing you all.

Sincerely,

President, Veterans Club.

Interest In Debating Sadly
Lacking On Our Campus

Often, students in college lose sight of
some of the most important phases of extra-
curricular activities. Nothing is more im-
portant to a future teacher than the ability
clearly and freely to express his ideas and
thoughts. One of the best mediums thru
which this ability can be gained is debating,
and public speaking. Yet the club on this
campus devoted to those experiences is re-
ligiously shunned.

A debating organization on our cam-
pus is essential for the well being of our
school for several reasons. Its training value
is tremendous; it serves as a sounding board
for student ideas; and lastly serves the Col-
lege in keeping ECTC on a par with some of
the best schools in the nation in debating.
Greatly undermanned, the club has managed
to send every year a squad into competition,
and every year we have been a factor to
reckon with in debating circles. We cannot
play West Point in athletics but we can de-
bate West Point. It would appear that such
effort deserves more consideration from the
student body than has been forthcomming

 

in the past. Much talent lies dormant within

THE TECO ECHO

the student body, when it could be serving
the individual and the school.

President Hutchins of the University
of Chicago stated that of all the extra-cur-
ricular activities in which he engaged he
ranked debating at the top for value re-
ceived.

For the remainder of your life the bene-
fits received in college debating will serve
you. It is incumbent upon you seriously to
investigate the possibilities that lie in it to
you as a future teacher.

Cooperation! Yes!

This is not sentimentality; rather it is
a statement of hard facts, which we, as re-
sponsible citizens of this country and mem-
bers of ECTC must face.

Dr. McGinnis in a recent meeting stat-
ed that the military was ended, and now we
have a war of ideals. Viewing both adminis-
tration and student body of ECTC, one clear-
ly sees that neither is properly discharging
its duties in this war. Duties? Yes, for we
definitely have duties to all the people who
have given up their life that we may have
what we do have today. Especially do these
responsibilities fall upon the institution of
higher education. We are by the nature of
our organization, pledged to uphold toler-
ance, liberalism, justice and the rights of our
fellow citizens. Very much is to be desired
in our efforts in this field of endeavor. We
have fallen short in achieving the desired
goal. New students have frequently been
warned by their fellow students not to voice
their opinions, lest they fall on the wrong
ears and repercussions be felt. So long as
conditions like this continue, we cannot
serve the school and our state in the manner
it deserves.

Recently, the: administration pledged
support to the student body and stated its
desire for constructive cooperation. For the
benefit of the students and the college, let
us do everything within our power to make
this cooperation possible. Do not mistake the
issue, however; for it lies just as much with
the student body as it does with the admin-
istration to cooperate. There is no problem
on this campus today which, given the pro-
per consideration and cooperation from all
factions, cannot be solved.

Let us all take stock of ourselves and ask
this question. Do we believe in tolerance,
justice and open-mindness? If we do be-
lieve in them, then lets show it. Put them
into our action and deeds.

Service Men Should Be Treated
Same As College Students

Recently, there has been much comment
on the campus as to the rights of the service-
man visiting our college. It has been custom-
ary that they be allowed in all of the college
dances free of charge. This practice in the
past was a good one, but the situation at
this time changes things just a little.

Here before, the serviceman visiting
here were a group who needed recreation, of
which there was little—they needed someone
to talk too because they were soon to enter
the dark conflict of war. Now, the war of
conflict is over, and our soldiers are fighting
only the war of peace and of themselves.

Discipline in the armed forces has slack-
ened to the point that many of the men no
longer act like gentlemen. This is not to say
that they still do not need recreation and a
kind word, but it is saying that they should
pay their way, along with the students, to
our entertainments. Soldiering, now, is a
business and one that pays a great deal more
than our vets on campus make. The major-
ity of the service men have more money to
throw away than our students, girls or boys.
We feel that the boys should be welcome,
but it will be a discredit to our own students
and veteran students if they no longer pay
the same admission fee.

While we are on the subject, the matter
of dress may as well be brought up. When
we have a semi-formal dance, the girls wear
evening gowns, and they are beautiful in
them. The least the males could do, would
be to dress in a coat and tie—servicemen
and students alike. If we can’t look like
we have tried to dress for the occassion, lets
have enough respect for the girls to stay at
home.

Human Spirit, Man’s Most
Precious Gift

Most precious of all the elements on earth
is human spirit. It is God’s gift to every
man—the meanest beggar in the streets, the
king with countless rubies. No thief can
steal it; rust or corrupt it. No despot scheme
can wrest it from us. For those who recog-
nize its immortality, it is the one thing which
even Death cannot destroy, the one enduring
treasure.

That the soul is immaterial, as well as
intelligent, is self-evident. Remaining unseen
and undiscovered to the eyes and fingers of
science, yet it exists within our earthly bo-
dies, an intangible flame that flickers or
burns steadily according to the faithfulness
of its corporeal keeper. It invisibility, then,
is the spirit’s second quality of value. Though
tyrants crush the bones of fellow-men, or
scourge the flesh to ribbons, their hands are

Tall, brown-eyed Margaret Hall with
that sparkling and invigorating personality
is one of the well known students on campus.
She may be found disappearing down to the
tennis courts or just leaving the “Y” store,
and—stopping her for an informal chat is
almost imvossible. As someone put it, Mar-
garet is “brimming over with energy”. An
illustration is found of this in her diversi-
fied int s, reading, dancing, talking to
intelligent people, playing all sports, and
especially in the latter group, having ice
fights.

A junior commerce and social science
major, Margaret is working for a B. S. de-
eree. Hailing from Woodsdale she adds,
“Near Roxboro”). she is often teases about
her accent. She says, ‘“Moe’ people are al-
ways talking about the way I talk. That is
what I have acquired from being ‘aboot’ five
miles from the Virginia line and from my
mother being true Virginian.”

“Judge”, as she is now nicknamed due
to her office as chairman of the Women’s
Judiciary, has been very active in student
activities. As a freshman_she was head of
the W. A. A. cabinet and head of Wilson
Hall. She was also a member of the Lanier
Society and Y. W. C. A. Last year she was a
member of the house committee, head of
Volley Ball and is well remembered for her
work as secretary to S. C. G. A. At present,
she is president of the Commerce Club, head
of field Hockey and manager of the college
stores.

powerless to seize fhe ethereal; they must
turn away frustrated. And, though the
shoulders sag benath the press of worldly
burden, inwardly that priceless pillar of in-
corporeal fire upholds our head and keeps our
knecs from buckling—but only for as long
as we may choose to keep it fed.

Thereon hangs the spirit’s immortality.
Intelligent. invisible—yes, and immortal in-
somuch as it never dies except it kills itself.
While Faith and Will abide to nourish and
protect it, no foree on earth can extinguish
the Divine blaze. Faith is the fuel of the
soul; and will its protecting lamp-chimney.
So thus we have the answer, too, to that
final query—the spirit’s termination. God
remains a spirit within us for as long as we
would have Him, through life—aye, and in
death also—but if we are not faithful to
His flame, then—only God remains.

Stagnant Fish Pool
Needs A Good Bath

There comes a time when necessity de-
mands action, and that time has arrived for
cur beautiful but stagnant fish pool located
in front of the Wright building. The pool
used to be a good place to idle away a few
minutes each day in the warm sun, but now
you have to check the windage before taking
a seat because of the foul odor. We pity the
girls in front Cotten when there is an East
wind blowing. You almost have to hold your
nose when you are just passing the pool. It
is doubtful that even the gold fish like the
dirty water. The frogs look sickly and haven’t
enough strength to jump out of the pool.
One boy made the remark that the place was
in such a dirty condition that with someone’s
help, he would clean the pool out himself,
which is a good attitude; but should not be
necessary. Last week was clean up week, but
this one spot was missed.

Margaret Person, we hear you're all
mixed up along the love line. Whatza matter?
can’t you smooth that line out.

“Pick”, we heard something about Anne
D., liking your man. Can you verify this?
You know that song—“I Had a Man.”

It’s been said that wedding bells are
ringing for Leonard Earnest, but Peggy
Burney seems to be making headway be-
fore the big “march” occurs.

Jesse Parker and Edith seems to be
hitting it off O. K. lately. Here’s hoping
everything runs as smoothly at it has been.

“Little Bit” and James really make a
cute couple these days, especially on the
tennis courts.

We hear wedding bells are ringing for
Alta Mae, but telephones are ringing for
Nancy Wilson. Congrats to you both!

There seemed to have been a couple of
long faces on campus from Saturday ’till
Wednesday due to that trip to New York by
Billy and Skinner. How ’bout it Cat and
Mary George? :
