Freshman's View
Of College Life
Although young people have!
been told that "there is no royal j
road to fortune the career of
Gladys Swarthout, mezzo-so- j
prano of opera, radio, and
screen, who will be here for a
song recital this evening at
8:30 at the Campus Building
would seem to belie this sage
advice.
Gladys has had one short-
cut after another. From that
day in her thirteenth year,
when she pinned up her curls,
announced she was nineteen and
applied for a position as soloist
in a Kansas City church choir,
to an equally momentous oc-
casion nine years ago, when she
found herself a member of the
Metropolitan Opera Company
in New York, she has had one
I "lucky break" after another.

Seven new members come to
the faculty of E. C. T. C. for the
fall quarter of 1940. Two of:
these, Miss Mabel Lacey and
Mrs. Ethel Walters, are holding
new positions on the campus.
They are supervisors of Walter
Reed high school Home Eco-
nomics departments in this dis-
trict. Federal finance is pay-
ing the entire salary of one of
these and one half the salary
of the other.
Other new members are Miss
Audrey Demsey, Mr. John B.
Christenbury, Miss Vida M.

Professor Tabor had been a

from his first year at East Caro-

always been deeply interested in
music in the town and state, as
well as the college, where his
many activities that brought
him in touch with all
dents and his genial
j ity made him a general favorite.
; Under the leadership of Mr.
Tabor, who joined the faculty of

rds at East Carolina Teach-

Although registration has not
be.n completed, the total now
stands at 1.218.
According to Dr. Howard J.
McGinnis, the Freshman Class
i - a whole has better scholastic
recommendation than any class
heretofore.
This y ar East Carolina
T achers College has the largest
number of transfer students
ever enrolled. Since last March
217 transcripts have been re-
ceived in the office. However,
: all of these are not new ones.
Twenty students have been
refused entrance because of low
scholastic standing. No stu-
I is accepted whose average
is down 10 points.
Commenting on dormitory
facilities. Dr. McGinnis explain-
� d the dormitories have been
filled to capacity and many
women students have been as-
signed to rooms in the infirm-
ary and Ragsdale Hall. Lack
� dormitory space resulted in
some students being refused
admittance.
The enrollment of day stu-
dents, like that of dormitory
students, has shattered all pre-
vious records. There has been
a considerable increase in the
number of boys on the campus,
most of whom had to resort to
living quarters in town.

Are Held By
Religious Groups

In the Art Department Miss ments of the institution. Among
his first activities was the or-
ganization of instrumental group
classes, a college orchestra, and
a men's glee club. In 1938 he
organized the first E. C. T. C.
band which has grown from a
handful of players to a fully
uniformed and equipped band
of sixty or more pieces. Other
similar music groups on the
campus now include a string
and a
college choir.
The Tecoan, college annual,
was last year dedicated to him.
Weeks is taking over the posi-
tion of Miss Alma Sparger.
There are still two positions
open, one in the Home Econom-
ics department to replace Miss
Roslyn Ivey and one in the
Music department vacated by
the death of Mr. Dean Tabor.
The Walt Disney animated
carton technique is a new twist
in engineering courses at New choir, a string quartet

principles and mechanical ther-
ies.
Three Religious groups held
retreats for their officers dur-
ing the week prior to the open-
ing of school on September 26.
They were the Methodist Stu-
dent Union, the Presbyterian
Student Association and the
Bantist Training Union.
The Methodists met at their
student center on Holly street
to plan their year's activities
and to meet their new student

Seven Presbyterians spent
three days with their leader,
Miss Sarah D. Whitmore, at the
Minges' cabin at Blount's creek.
Here they made plans for their
year's program and had time in
which to enjoy a yacht trip one
afternoon. Miss Mary Shaw

both of Greenville, were in
charge of the vesper programs
for the two nights. Those pre-

In Memorium
In the course of human events there are individuals who excell
in character; their experiences are highlighted by enviable achieve-
ments ; their personality is reflected in the lives of their associates;
their courage is symbolic of greatness, and knowing such people
creates a mental picture that is everlasting. The late Dean C.
Tabor and Mrs. M. N. Posey were such persons. Losing them
came as a severe shock to both faculty and students; and with
their passing, the staff, in behalf of the College, extends its heart-
felt respects. We knew them as friends; as individuals who gave
impetus to the friendliness for which members of the student body
are noted. Their life on the campus stands as a shrine for poster-
itv at East Carolina Teachers College.
School Spirit Or Regulations!
On the eve of the first night football game in the history of
East Carolina Teachers College we are advised that students who
have not yet received their general permit will not be allowed to
attend the game Saturday night. Many of them did not learn of the
game in time to get a permit and naturally were at a loss to make
such arrangements. Students who have permits will ride the
buses, unless certain privileges permit them to travel via other
means, in the company of chaperones. It is going to hurt our
school spirit if the students without the general permit are not
all( wed to attend. Now it's a question of "school spirit or regula-
tions
We, The Students
In the school systems of the nation, on the street corners, at
the movies, or in Church, one finds a note of concern in conver-
sation of the people relative to the outcome of the turmoil that
has gripped Europe and threatens the United States. Like a
black storm cloud that covers the twinkling stars on a peaceful
night and unleashes elements that bring death and devastation
on the land below, Adolph Hitler. Benito Mussolini and other
self-styled despots are sweeping down upon all phases of demo-
cratic ideals and principals. A stream of crimson gushing from
a wounded soldier and word that another weak nation has been
subjugated by their military might calls for a glass of wine.
They're on the loose and defy anyone to stop them. The axis
chieftans have signed an alliance with the Premier of Japan,
an apparent stimulus to the minds of their people who receive
news of the spoils through a government-controlled press. To
conquer the world and make lovers of democracy eat from their
hands with the same enthusiasm as the starved dog that munches
crumbs offered by the bony hand of a pauper appears to be their
desire. Congress has realized the threat and has paved the way
for resisting the plague by appropriating billions for military
might, sanctioning legislation for mustering millions of men in
a peacetime call to colors, and aiding England until we can be-
come strong enough to stand on our own feet, or cross the Atlantic
and help the British. WTe the students have been reared in a
nation that is earmarked by freedom of speech, worship.and press;
we the students will have to give financial aid and possibly our
lives to sustain these freedoms. And if we're unable to overcome
those elements that threaten to take our liberties, should we face
that issue, the grave in the village churchyard will be shattered
by bombs and we shall perish in pools of blood just as our fore-
fathers who sacrificed their lives for our happiness and welfare.
Welcome To Your Second Home, Freshmen!
To all Freshmen and transfers, the staff of the Teco Echo,
in behalf of the student body and faculty, extend a most cordial
welcome. Irrespective of the number of years you expect to spend
on the campus, we want you to feel that you are among friends
and never hesitate to request their assistance, should such aid
be desired. When a student enters college he is confronted with
more responsibilities than he found in the grades and his ability
to face these obligations with his chin up instead of shirking them
will determine, to a considerable extent, whether or not he de-
velops a well-rounded personality and makes of himself or herself
the splendid man or woman for the business or professional world
of tomorrow. We trust that you will become a part of the friend-
liness that prevails on our campus; and that it will have a definite
place in your life after you are graduated.
It Was A Job Well Done
Doris Blalock, president of the Women's Student Govern-
ment Association, and Walter Rodgers, president of the Men's
Student Government Association, who collaborated their efforts
in the twelfth annual orientation program, are to be congratulated
for the splendid manner in which they performed their duties:
and much of the credit for making the largest orientation pro-
gram ever to be undertaken here the most successful goes to them.
And a word of congratulation goes also to the various campus
leaders and organizations for their part in the orientation. You
not only impressed the new students, but gained respect and
appreciation from colleagues.
Watching The World
by
Judging from the indications and intimations of reports
reaching this country it appears that Hitler's long heralded pre-
paration for a Blitzkrieg invasion of England has bogged down.
Events alone can prove whether this is true or not.
With the protection of current bad weather the English say
that if the usual "second summer" period comes this fall it will
offer to the Fuhrer this year's last opportunity for invasion with
favorable weather. He still may order the attempt but his mas-
ter strategists seem to be digging in for a long drawn-out struggle.
If the invasion has been stalled, no small part of the credit
iroes to the valiant Royal Air Force, which while countering the
much touted Luftwaffe over England, has been able to grow
miraculously to a strength permitting it to take the initiative of
offense for the first time during the war. The Reich's invasion
bases on the coast of France have been repeatedly pounded. Recent
reports hint that these jumping-off points have been rendered
utterly useless. Germany itself has been penetrated as deep as the
former Polish border. Berliners are chased nightly into their bomb
shelters. Vital war industries in western Germany have been
wrecked and bombs are not all these versatile English planes
carry. Besides the explosives, propaganda leaflets, incendiary
cardboard to burn forests, and beetles to eat the much-needed po-
tato crops have been dumped.
The tri-partite Axis-Japanese "new order" pact looms as a
Nazi confession of Hitler's first substantial set-back. As an
effort to offset the stalemate of the Battle of Britain it was hailed
in Germany as a further triumph, food for victory-hungry people.
If the treaty has any real significance it is probably a German at-
tempt to provoke the United States into a war against Japan,
thereby diverting the flow of American war materials toward
Britain. If that is its aim it probably will miss its mark by far.
The American point of view seems to be that the United States
has nothing to gain from a scrap with Japan, at present at least,
that could not be gained by a complete defeat of the Axis.
The United States might, however, send a fleet to points in
the Far East where American interests are likely to be disturbed.
A few "incidents" with Japan would no doubt prove to be a gain.
STUDENT'S CORNER
In getting back down to our regular routine of work we find
it was not a very great task to select an outstanding student to
feature in this issue of the paper. Walter Rodgers, captain of our
football team, is the honor student.
Walter came to the E. C. T. C. campus from Woodsdale,
North Carolina in Person County. Since coming here he has
been very active in many clubs, as well as in athletics. As we
glance over some of Walter's extra-curricular activities we find
that football is most outstanding. Having played for three years
he has well earned the position as captain of our 1940 team. He
has also claimed membrship with the Men's Student Government
Association for two years. The Varsity Club has had an asset in
Walter, as he has been an active member for three years, and trea-
surer one of these .
Not only has he been active in these clubs for the past few
years, but the Phi Sigma Pi Honorary Fraternity has also used
him to advantage for three years.
Feeling that Walter is one of our most oustanding students
we do not hesitate to honor his praiseworthy work. If you saw
the game last Saturday with Kutztown, Pa. Teachers we are sure
you will agree that he is the captain we have been waiting for.
The College Appreciates Greenville
Since East Carolina Teachers College was established some
30 years ago it has expressed outwardly and inwardly its appre-
ciation for the thriving community of which it is a part. And
as we enter another school year the Teco Echo comes to the fore
with a definite indication that it wants to help the people of
Greenville. For a number of years the paper has been printed
outside Greenville; the thousands of dollars that have been appro-
priated for printing costs have gone elsewhere. This practice
was not the result of previous staffs inappreciativeness of the
community, but was done because local facilities would not cope
with the printing standards they desired. Meantime, one local
printing firm, Renfrew Printing Company, continued to grow and
the quality of the work it turned out improved. The standards of
this firm met with the approval of the new editor and business
manager, who contracted to have the paper printed locally. The
printers of the paper in previous years did a splendid job. How-
ever, by having the paper printed locally the Teco Echo still can
retain its standards and simultaneously spend several hundred
dollars annually with a firm that supports the merchants of the
city. The College appreciates Greenville.
Don't Let It Happen Again
� During the opening week of school the editor went to see,
The Ramparts We watchr and when he got out of the theatre
it was raining. Reaching the campus after 10 o'clock, he noticed
the school flag was still flying in the cold wind and rain He
lowered the flag and put it away for the night, raising it again the
following morning. Workmen said they were busy with trunks
and forgot to lower the flag. That is a reasonable excuse, but in
these troublous times not even work should cause us to forget
sacred patriotic obligations. To those in charge of the flag we
say, "Don't Let It Happen Again K
by Chris Humphrey
Fame comes to people in various and unexpected ways, and
no doubt Billie Manly little dreamed that it would be obtained
when she received a letter from the Y. M. C. A. inviting her to
join their fine organization, and assuring her that a representa-
tive would meet her and introduce her to the "boy To top this,
there was no room number, or dormitory assigned her with her
permit to register. As we all know, there is only one boy's dormi-
tory; i. e Ragsdale; and room numbers are not assigned. After
pondering over the situation, Miss Manly had an idea, and dashed
around to find the envelope in which the letter was sent. Yep!
she was right, it was addressed to Mr. Billie Manly! Horrors!
above horrors! that meant she was assigned a room with a bov!
Her first reaction was to laugh, and she did, heartily; then she
realized that something had to be done immediately�it might
prove very embarassing when she arrived on the campus. So
she phoned Dr. McGinnis.
"Dr. McGinnis, this is Billie Manly; and I'm a girl
Dr. McGinnis laughed�probably thought�'Well, so what?
what am I supposed to do about it?' or something to that effect,
until she explained to him her situation. He told her not to
worry; he would attend to the matter immediately.
After laughing over it with her friends in Goldsboro, she de-
cided to forget it and settle down again; but, no it was too good
to keep and somehow the news leaked out. Always ready for a
laugh, the newspapers all over North Carolina published the story;
and Billie told me one boy looked her up to tell her he had heard
the news way up in New York. A friend of her father's asked
him if he were going up to play poker with his "son" and "his
buddies To which remark Mr. William Manly said he had
always wanted Billie to be a boy, but he never thought it would
come about like that.
I enjoyed talking with Billie; she was a good sport about
what might have been an embarassing position. She is a very
attractive, blonde girl and is now safely rooming with Betty
Langdon in Jarvis Hall. She will be only one year, after this
time she will attend the University of Maryland where she will
study to be a laboratory technician. Billie enjoys dancing, and
I could not help but think she should feel natural doing the break-
ing at our dances. At any rate, I do hope she will feel at home
here; and enjoy our college life.
But hang on, Readers, there is more yet to come. Not to be
outdone, Billie's family made the headlines a few days ago. The
reason: All of their birthdays occur on holidays. Her brother's
is on New Year's Day; her mother's on Valentine; her father's on
May Day; and Billie's on Halloween. What a family! I'll stop
on that one.
FASHIONS
By Barbara Keuzenkamp
"Sans doute as the French
would say these 'back to college"
styles are important. Gadgets
and accessories are as usual the
college girl's stand-by. Most of
the newer gadgets are in wood,
leather, and plaid wool and all
of them are practically feather-
weight. Popular ones include
necklaces with bracelets to
match; lapel ornaments includ-
ing animals and eagles in blue
and green leather; carved wood
leaves and acorns; a miniature
note book, pencil and fountain
pen on a leather band; wood
slates with candy striped bor-
ders showing first sums in
arithmetic; a red leather dog
collar with gold charms; and a
college cheer leader figure made
of gay colored leather. The
more sophisticated ornaments
arc a gold and silver cable neck-
lace and bracelet, and a 3-inch
srold question mark with a
locket dangling at the bottom.
You'll want several of these, to
say the least, to add spice to
your jackets and sweaters.
If you haven't already gotten
one you will want a bright plaid
skirt made fairly full, and a
couple of mannish shirts and
jackets to wear with it.
The feminine side of fashion
is played up with jumper and
pinafore dresses, which can be
worn morning, noon, and night.
For example wear a vivid blouse
in a constrasting color with your
new pinafore of velveteen, wool,
plaid, or pinwale corduroy.
You'll find it a charming addi-
tion to your wardrobe.
Silk hose always were a hole
puncher in a college girl's
allowance so you'll really be de-
lighted when you next shop and
come across knee high, divided,
or "cuff" socks. They're here
to stay as they are not only prac-
tical but are warm and com-
fortable.

"Since the seniors have had

Maisie Castlebury. Maisie hopes
to get the years work under-

Ida Ruth Knowles, junior
class president, says that the
junior-freshman dance and the
junior-senior prom will be the
biggest events to take place dur-
ing the year. Plans for these
and other activities will be dis-
cussed at a meeting to be held
soon.
With Miss McElwain and Mr.
J. B. Cummings as faculty ad-
visors, the sophomore groups,
under the leadership of Norman
Wilkerson, already, have plans
in view. Due to the fact that
Virginia Elam, vice-president,
and Fay Bateman, class repre-
sentative to the Teco Echo, are
not enrolled in college this year,
elections for these vacancies
will immediately take place
after the first meeting.
"As yet, other plans are un-

for tomorrow night's football
game are completed. The col-
lege will furnish free transpor-
tation to and from the game on
buses which have been rented
from Mr. Paul Ricks for this
occasion.
The jumping off point from
the campus will be the Wright
building, with several buses
leaving for the stadium at 6:45.
If necessary the buses will re-
turn for more loads of students.
So, any students who are plan-
ning to attend the game are
asked to assemble in front of
the Wright building promptly�at
the designated time in order to
avoid a rush or any other sort
of confusion.
Mr. Hankner also pointed out
: that unless each student has her
; athletic ticket with her she will
not be allowed to get on the bus.
F o r tomorrow's after-dark
classic the moving-picture ticket
will serve as the athletic ticket
I and is the only means of admis-
sion for the student body.
Juniors and Seniors with rid-
ing permits will be permitted
j to attend the game with a date
and are not required to be on the
buses. All freshmen and soph-
omores will have to obtain rid-
ing permits for the occasion and
are required to go on the buses.
In conclusion Mr. Hankner
stated. "This method of trans-
porting the student body to the
Guy Smith stadium for a night
game is purely experimental
and nothing definite will be
planned concerning the future
until we see how our present
set-up works out. I want to
urge everyone to cooperate with
the administration in making

at the Guy Smith stadium at

affair will inaugurate a series
of night football games which
the E. C. T. C. eleven will play
in Greenville this Fall.
As a result of their hard-
earned victory over the Kutz-
town Teachers from Pennsyl-

the practice periods for the Pir-

the Purple and Gold team is ex-
pected to be in tip-top shape to-
morrow. There are no major
injuries on the team's personnel,
and every player is ready for
action.

The ECTC Pirates, playing
its first game of the 1940 cam-
paign on their home field, rack-
ed up a 14-6 win over a heavier
and favored Kutztown Teachers
team from Pennsylvania Satur-
day afternoon. September 28.
It was the first Pirate football
victory since 1938.
Early in the first quarter
Kutztown began a relentless
drive down the field and it look-
ed as though a touchdown was
inevitable. Held at the eight
yard line by a rallying Pirate de-
j f ense, the visitors attempted a
J short pass. Shuerholtz. Pirate
I halfback, intercepted the pass
I on the two yard line and raced
down the field for the first Pi-
rate score. A host of Pirate
blockers paved the way for the
score and Shuerholtz was sur-
rounded by several would-be
blockers as he crossed the goal
line.
The Pirates scored two points
in the third quarter when Kutz-
town attempted a punt from
their own five yard line. A bad
pass from center went over the
head of the kicker and rolled
into the end-zone for a safety.
A little later Kutztown made its
only touchdown on a beautiful
pass from the twenty yard line.

1 tear Alumni,
Another years work has be-
g iin ' I hope your vacation was
all you had anticipated and that
your year's work will be an
achievement you may exhibit
with pride and view with satis-
faction.
Those of you who attended the
business meeting of the Alumni
Association at Commencement
remember that the objective of
the Association over a period of
years, to have an alumni secre-
tary, had been realized. The re-
sults of the work of our All-time
Alumni Secretary were much in
evidence.
Now that we have our Secre-
tary our chief objective in 1940-
1941 is to keep her. To me,
everything revolves around this
point, and I hope that each in-
dividual will work toward this
end. The concerted efforts of
interested groups is necessary,
and that is one of the reasons
chapters organization is being
stressed. I shall not divulge
my goal set for new chapters
this year until Commencement
1941. Whether you belong to
a chapter or not. each person
who reads this message can as-
sure us of your support by pay-
ing your $1.00 membership dues
now. Early payment gives you
the full benefit of your college
messenger, the Teco Echo, and
the Association the full benefit
of the remainder of your dollar.
The election this year will be by
ballot, and ballots will be mail-
ed to paid members only. Of
course you want a voice in your
organization.
Your college should be placed
near the top in your list of
friends. May I urge the more
recent graduates not to lose con-
tact with this friend, and those
who have, to give yourself the
pleasure of renewing your ac-
quaintance? A friend such as Ural
your college has been to you is (vill
much too valuable to
Keep up with E.C.T.C
informed Alumni. The facili-
ties of the office are yours to
command!

There is one redeeming thing
about freshmen. They can and
will learn. Then they do be-1
come a vital and indispensable
part of the college life. It is
hoped that they will take an ac-
tive part in the social activities
and in the campus organiza-
tions. It is possible that each
student may find something of
interest to him. May each one
find college enjoyable It can
be if one wants to make it so.
and may all remember that a
lot of work is a good antidote for
that painful ailment called
