More Interest Shown In Student Elections
That nearly three hundred more votes were cast in this year's
student elections than those of a year ago is an indication that the
student bodv in general has developed more concern in the matter
of selecting"leaders. The vote cast in the major elections was the
largest in several vears. Most of the credit for the new impetus
roes to the Women's Student Government Association, which
made a concerted drive to get students to the polls, in addition to
urging them to vote their convictions. Each method used by the
organization in bringing the seriousness of voting before the stu-
detn body was fair to each candidate involved. The elections were
conducted both honestly and adequately.
One of the best arguments for not voting appears to have
come from students who did not have classes in Austin Building,
where the elections were conducted. Many of them suggested that
there be more than one place of voting, similar to the system used
by municipal governments. The only argument for such a system
in this school is that it would more convenient. This year, as in
other vears. there was little congestion at the polls, those who
really were concerned with the type of leaders they were to follow
made it a point to go to the polls and vote, and since the polls re-
mained open all day. it is likely that nearly every student had an
opportunitv to vote.
Then. too. it was suggested that separate polling places be
established for each of the offices involved in the election. WTe be-
lieve the present system of voting is all right. If students were
allowed to vote at a different booth for each candidate it stands
to reason that he might refrain from voting for all of them. Some
position would be overlooked. All in all, when it comes to voting
for leaders, one is just as important as the other. One vote is just
as valuable as another.
Watching The World
by
Harold K. Taylor
The British are still advancing on the African front. Giara-
bub, hold-out oasis in the desert of easrn Libya, has been taken
from the Italians. Giarabub is a minor Mohammedan shrine, the
burial place of the Senussi Brotherhood, a desert sect with which
the British have been friendly in this war. The capture was the
high-spot of the varied developments in the far-flung African
campaign.
The fast mechanized British columns in Ethiopia are advan-
cing towards their goal. The strategically important town of Neg-
helli has been captured. British occupation of Ethiopia seems to
be only a matter of time now. They have advanced steadily to-
wards the capitol, Addis Ababa. Planes of the R. A. F. and the
South African Air Force raided many other towns and have
bombed railways to Addis Ababa.
England is producing about 3200 airplanes of all types each
month. Huge four-motored American-made bombers have landed
in England and are in storage houses all over England. Soon we
will sec the effects of our aid to Britian. The British people are
still sure of victory and with increasing aid from the United
States they are growing stronger every day.
Yugoslavia's Serb population protested a comprise adherence
with the German-Italo-Japanese alliance. Called traitors, and
threatened with death, Premier Cvelkovic and Foreign Minister
Cincarmarkovic left for the Axis Conference on a special train
guarded by 50 secret agents. The Serbs constitute one-half of the
Yugoslavian population. Thousands of Serbs have fled the country
to join the Allies forces. .
It looks as if the Allies won't have to worry about Russia for
awhile. Russia gave Turkey a pledge of benevolent and helpful
neutrality in case the Turks are attacted by Germany. Russia has
her own interests around the Dardanelles. She is increasing her
armed forces on land and sea opposite the German military
masses. .
Jrfpan seems to be drawing nearer the Axis powers. Japanese
Foreign Minister Matsuokia is attending the Axis conference.
Observers says that Japan is in no situation to go to war now.
At home, Congress has passed the Lend-Lease bill and Presi-
dent Roosevelt has asked seven billion dollars to aid Great Bri-
tian. Congress has passed on the seven billions and Secretary Mor-
ganthau is making plans for creating a new tax to raise the money.
Spring Style Report
For Men�1941
An Argument For Progressive Education
Honesty is the most sterling quality an individual can possess.
It conquers evil and gives one the moral stamina necessary for a
well-rounded personality and agreeable associations with others.
last quarter a plain case of cheating prevailed in a composition
course that is required of all students. The students did wrong
in cheating. Failure would have been better. Below the surface,
however, is a problem confronting educators of today.
As we understand it the trend in progressive education places
more emphasis on creating an appreciation for the subject than
on grades. We do not know all the personal traits of the students
invovied in the cheating, but there must have been a reason for
their doing it, although it was wrong. In the first place the course
was required and there was no way to evade it. Perhaps these
itudents did not know how to writo, had made failing grades
throughout the quarter, and had to turn in a good finished pro-
duct in order to pass. The matter of making a good grade ap-
parently was more important to them than honesty. If there is a
practice in our educational system that causes sudents to feel this
way, then something should be done about it.
Students who can do good or fair work in composition find
it to be most enjoyable. Many of them would choose such a course
if it were elective instead of required. But provisions should be
made for the unfortunates who are required to do work they never
have been able to do, and could never make a passing grade regard-
less of how long they took the course. It is this type of student that
is encouraged to cheat.
The matter of deciding what shall be required and what sub-
jects the student will be allowed to elect is a problem that con-
fronts every educational institution. If obtaining a good grade is
more important to a student than honesty, and the course itself
developed his attitude, then some changes should be made in the
school curriculum.
We Take You Now To
So you think journalism has lost its glamour? That there are
no longer any thrills to be experienced in this matter-of-fact
racket of news transmission? Well, maybe
But at anv rate, let us pass on to you the following article
from the Dartmouth's column, "Give Us This Day initialed by
W. J. M Jr. It furnishes an exciting glimpse at one phase of the
big-time news game:
This is the CBS newsroom. 485 Madison Avenue, New lork
City, seventeenth floor. A lot of noise here. None of it very loud,
but a lot. Most of it from the ten tele-type machines along the
walls. Thev keep running all day long. Associated Press. United
Press. International News Service. On the wall there's a loud
speaker and you can tell from the blurred voice that one of CBS'
correspondents abroad is making his report.
Though the glass you can see a large fellow in a brown suit
sitting before a mike in the studio. He seems to be listening to the
report we're hearing.
This is Berlin signing off . .
There's a pause. All you can hear is the noise of the machines.

19hi Fashion Trend�The
American male in 1941 is going
to demand freedom from the
old monotony in dress. He will
insist upon colorful, individual-
ized varied attire. He will dem-
onstrate the American traits of
originality, love of adventure
and open-mindedness as wit-
ness the rapid rise to popularity
of the sports coats and slacks
trend. For we are on our own
now. and no longer look to
Europe for fashion guidance.
American designers are
bringing to the old world of
styles new7 blood, a new out-
look, new vitality. Men realize
that they have been too long in
a conventional rut as regards
their apparel. While American
men have been leading the world
in inventions, industry, science,
they have been neglecting their
own personalities and appear-
ance. They have built hundred
story skyscrappers, have a-
chieved miraculous speed in the
heavens, have made unbeliev-
able technical advancements.
But what about themselves?
The bigness of the things they
have created has dwarfed their
own physical being and person-
ality. The monotony and drab-
ness of their clothes tends to
breed a monotony and drabness
in their thinking and their lives.
Old clothes bring about an asso-
ciation of old ideas and habits.
Dress governs the mood. New
clothes, vigorous colors, individ-
ual designs lead to originality
and courage of thought.
Hat Forecast for Spring�
Color is one of the most impor-
tant features of the new spring
hats for men. For the most part.
netural shades and tones will
reign supreme. Brown, in soft
medium shades is fast regain-
ing the important place it held
a few years ago and will be the
choice of most men.

doubled. This was made possible through the efforts of President

defense through their flight instruction. There is more to flying
in a time of war than combat. Planes have to be used for tran-
sporting the wounded, medicines, food and other essentials. Should
this country become engaged in a defensive war the students re-
ceiving this training would be mustered into service that would
prove invaluable. All those responsible for making possible such
training are to be congratulated. They have made a contribution
to the far-flung defense program undertaken by our government.
Give Those Who Want To Study A Chance
"If there had been more silence in my dormitory, I could have
made better grades Such is the expression that goes the rounds
�very quarter at East Carolina Teachers College. There never can
can be complete silence in the dormitories except during vacation
period. Encouraging over a thousand girls to keep quiet at night
would be something short of a miracle. For those who are troubled
with alleged noise-makers, the only logical solution to their prob-
lem is to arrange their study periods at a time when their com-
panions on the same floor are following pursuits elsewhere. When
you are disturbed, just ask the source of the disturbance to stem
his activities. If you are polite in your rqeuest it will work nine
times out of ten. This is not a reprimand for any student or any
group of students. But we are firm in our conviction that those
who want to study should not be disturbed.

Tokyo signing off
Elmer Davis comes over to a rhair behind one of the mikes.
Warren Sweeney�in the brown suit�introduces him. Davis looks
at the clock, then down at his notes and begins tc speak. In five
minutes he's finished.
He comes out into the newsroom now with several other men
who edit the news and they all look over the reports on the ma-
chines. Then they discuss the president's speech which is to be
broadcast in an hour. They talk about a round-up of editorial opin-
ion they plan to do an hour after Mr. Roosevelt has finished speak-
in. It's never been done before. But they're going to take a crack
at ft.
Back in the newsroom at 11:13. The president finished his
speech an hour ago and Major Eliot is just closing his analysis of
the day's news. Bob Trout, newcaster, is seated beside the major
in a sweater with an open collar. He has just received a galley
proof of the editorial on the president's speech from the New York
Herald Tribune. But that's all he has in hand.
Major Eliot is finished and Bob Trout begins to quote from
the Tribune editorial. He's down to the last paragraph before
someone hands him a strip of teletype paper with editorial com-
ment from the Daily News. That's all he has. There are still eleven
minutes to go.
Then things really begin to happen. A phone rings. It's
London. From three machines come quotations from editorials
the nation over. There are two or three men in shirt-sleeves read-
ing and cutting. Now they're all given to Bob Trout.
He glances at the clock and begins to speak a little faster.
Still eight minutes left and the stuff is rolling in. Every one's
hurrying but there's no excitement . . .
Two minutes left and he's still reading. Nothing yet from the
New York Times. But here's a galley proof now. No time for cut-
ting. Bob Trout takes it, reads and cuts as he goes along. But he's
misjudged his time. He's read the last sentence and there are still
25 seconds to go. Someone hands him a small scrap of paper with
something written in pencil. It's an A. P. dispatch on the latest
bombin of London. He reads it. The announcer takes the eight-
second closing in five.
Then they all sit there without saying a word watching the
second hand on the cjock. They're all smiling. The president had
finished speaking one hour and 21 mintes before, and they had
made a round-up of editorial opinion not only at home but abroad.
When the second hand hits 12 they're off the air. They congratu-
late each other and shake hands.
Then they come out of the studio to look over the latest dis-
patches on the teletype machines. There's a five-minute news sum-
mary in a half-hour.
Maybe every time you hear a news broadcast these days you
dial another station because you're fed up. But that doesn't make
today's news any less important and the men behind the mikes
know it. They're trying to beat an eternal deadline: They read
through the thousands of dispatches; they pick out what looks im-
portant; they interpret it for you. They're up until all hours of
the night and they're speaking to you when you turn on your radio
first thing in the morning.
They're doing a real job.

have been playing daily on the

five singles matches and two
