of teacher preparation
Carolina Teachers College is
sponsoring a series of Tuesday1
night vocal concerts on the col-
lege campus in Austin audi-
torium.
The first of these was held
Tuesday night of this week
when Denton Rossell appeared
in concert, singing songs by
Handel, Schubert, Grieg, and
Puccini, as well as popular
ballards and audience favorites.
On May 6, Elizabeth Copp-
edge, soprano, and Donald Per-
ry, tenor, wlil be heard in a pro-
gram of solos and duets cover-
ing a wide range of musical
literature from Mozart and
Schubert to light opera favor-
ites.
The concluding concert will be
given on May 20 and is to fea-
ture Jean Abeyounis, soprano,
and Loraine Pritchard, mezzo-
soprano.
Wilda Royall is the accompan-
ist for the future programs and
was at the piano for the pro-
gram on Tuesday evening.
Mr. Rossell, who teaches mus-
ic at the college, now trains his
soprano pupils to sing colorra-
tura arias which he learned as
a child. For at the age of eleven
he was giving public concerts
with a voice which Ignacio del
Castila, accompanist to the late
Luisa Tettrazini and conductor
of the National Opera in Mex-
ico City, said was three tones
higher than any human voice
that he had ever heard.
While his voice was changing
Mrs. Rossell studied piano,
which he also teaches. He has
sung in concerts and operatic
performance as well as a small
part in the version, "The Bar-
rier which starred Leo Caril-
lo and Jean Parker.

Failure At The Opportune Moment
From the April m Issue of Nation's Business
Education is a necessary and a fine thing and that often goes
also for the brashness of youth. But in combination they some-
times yield results that are not so good.
So it was with the young technical graduate who had been
doing a lot of reading about tool control. When a manufacurer
employed him to help solve a problem of excess breakage of tools
he set to work with a bushel of enthusiasm. At the end of a week
he told his employer he thought he would have the answer by Mon-
day.
"I've been doing some checking after hours he said, "and
I'd like to have two men to work overtime this afternoon and to-
night. The results will speak for themselves
They did! Monday morning the machines couldn't be started
because there was rust everywhere. Every one of them and every
tool in the shop had been literally sterilized. The young man had
discovered that when tools were returned to the stock room they
were oiled and that parts of the machines were thoroughly greased
each night. He concluded this violated one of the A B C's of shop
practice�"always be clean And he had the two men give every-
thing a thorough going over with hot soda water.
This is typical of the Bright Young Men in the federal bu-
reaus whose organized blundering is such a handicap to indus-
tries, especially those engaged in armament work.
"Every business man today must set up common sense de-
fenses against the stupidities of a defense program directed in
its detail by bureaucrats says William A. McGarry in Nation's
Business. Kick them upstairs, he suggests�anything'to keep them
from balling up the works just when there's a big job to be d ne.

Boquets Tossed To Democratic Club
Last quarter Franklin D. Roosevelt. Jr along with the two
national chairmen of Young Democrats, congratulated the Young
Democratic Club of East Carolina Teachers College for the splen-
did work that it was doing. This week Fred Edney of the Univers-
ity of North Carolina, chairman of the College District, congratu-
lated the club for being the largest and one of the most active col-
lege or university organizations of Young Democrats in North
Carolina. The club is the youngest in the State, but has made a
record for the other schools to shoot at.
Next Saturday night the club will climax its year of progress
with a Founder's Day Dinner, to be addressed by Lieutenant Gov-
ernor Reginald L. Harris and Congressman Herbert C. Bonner.
Other dignitaries also will be in attendance. This is the first time
in the history of the school that there has been such an outstand-
ing representation of political notables at a social function on the
the campus.
The college is turning out voters each year and unless they
acquire an interest in the functions of government, they are going
to be dormant in efforts to mould the destiny of the nation. If the
organization does nothing more than encourage its members to
vote intelligently, then that is a worthwhile achievement within
itself.
The free peoples of Yugoslavia had mightily hoped that this
time Hitler would be stopped by the rugged terrain of Yugoslavia
and Greece. But against the onrushing Germans the mountains
of the Balkans apparently proved as ineffectual as the mud in
Poland, the flooded areas of the Netherlands and the Maginot
Line of France. The rays of hope for an Allied success seem to
be fading as the British retreat from Yugoslavia as they retreated
earlier in the war from Dunkeque. A German victory there would
not be decisive in the larger struggle with Britian though. Only a
knockout in the Battles of Britian can give Hitler what he really
wants.
We in America are beginning to realize the seriousness of
the situation and our entrance into the conflict is being more talk-
ed about every day. Our army is being geared up to match any
foreign opposition. There are more than a million men under arms
and under present draft laws this number will be increased by a
third by the end of the summer. No one knows if and when we
will enter the conflict but the public opinion is that it wont be long.
Great Britian is making her stand for the cause of Democracy
against ruthless dictators, and it is the obligation of all Democratic
nations to help her in every way possible, even by furnishing man-
power if necessary.
German-occupied Rumania was dangerously near a new out-
break of civil strife and a strongly-worded patriotic message by
Rumanian Premier Antonescu to his pepole indicated a clean
break with the Axis. He said that the Rumanian army was ready
to fight and that it is the holy duty of the army to wipe out the
shameful blot of 1940. If the Premier has really broken with the
Axis, he is running the risk of being crushed between the powerful j faces� put a 'apse of memory

In the United States the new Labor Mediation Board seems ?an?es- VvheP he someone
to have its defects despite the optimistic opinion of the general ows,
public. Its members look upon it as a leisurely part-time affair
and they scattered to their homes after their first meeting, plan-
ning, it seemed, to operate on a cummuting basis. Chairman Dyk-
stra quickly pointed out that the board could do nothing in the
face of a rising tide of strikes until disputes had been certified to
it by the Department of Labor. Labor Secretary Perkins was un-
able to certify disputes to the Board with admitting by implica-
tions that her Conciliation Service had failed. If she delayed in
certifying disputes, she exposed herself to the charge of hindering
the defense effort. Miss Perkins in spite of all her efforts has
been able to do practically nothing in straightening out the strikes.
Millions of dollars of defense orders have been held up for weeks
due to the unsettled labor conditions.
A news item which affects several students on our campus
is the evacuation of lands selected for the new marine base in
Onslow County near Jacksonville. 500 families, many whom have
lived in this section all their lives will have to sell their old home-
stead to the government at a set price per acre. Students who live
within this area are Kate Bryan Parker and L. C. Capps.

jovial inhabitants. In his youth
he apparently was robust. To-

like dough squeezed in the hand
of a baker. His kinky and one-

a tuft of white and his head,

with saliva and juice, he spits

hobbles around town with the

Not only was the dramatic performance most notable, but the
story behind the production was significant. In this land of plentv,
where we are privileged to enjoy rights not to be found in other
sections of the universe, often we are inclined to forget Jesus and
his teachings. We take too much for granted. Sometimes a person
is ridiculed and scorned because of his belief in Christ.
When we study the European picture we see the fruits of
Satan's orchard. Thousands of young men are being slaughtered
for the interests of a leader who set himself up as their God. They

Lack Of Transporation Proves To Be A Handicap
We're not tooting the horn of an automotive agency, but we
are convinced that the college needs a station wagon or bus that
would be available to students who represent the college at other
educational institutions from time to time.
Each quarter some group of students remark, "We can't at-
tend that convention or conference as we don't have any way of
getting there This held true this week when the Young Women's
Christian Association had to cancel a trip to Greensboro.
Many will contend that if an organization doesn't have travel-
ling expenses, it has no business attending functions at other
schools. But it must be remembered that no student organization
on the campus was established for making money and most of
them have to eke out their existence with the aid of the student
fund. And at this season of the year the fund usually is exhausted.
When a student or group of students can represent the col-
lege at another school it promotes good will, and this is a splendid
trait to exist between all schools. Then, too, the material advan-
tages will prove exceedingly valuable to other members of the
student body.
How the money would be raised for the bus or station wagon
is left to the students and administrators themselves. But there's
BO denying that East Carolina Teachers College is in need of in-
expensive transportation facilities.

Campus Leaders Need Your Cooperation
With the major campus officers already elected they now are
ready to launch their activities for the ensuing year, but they can-
not play a lone hand. They must have the cooperation of the stu-
dent body in general if they are to realize successful administra-
tion. Regardless of the capabilities of a leader he is another hope-
less case if he does not have the confidence and support of those
whom he is leading. Not only do we owe it to these leaders to co-
operate, but we also owe it to ourselves.
And while putting in a word for the new leaders, it is fitting
at this time to tell the old ones that they did a good job in the year
that is slowly drawing to a close. No leader who attains anything
worthwhile is going to meet with the approval of everyone con-
cerned. But to those who are turning their gavel over a successor,
we can say without reservation that the service you rendered your
respective group long will be remembered.
