In Memoriam
There comes a time in our lives when someone we know inti-
mately or hold very dear to us. takes his heritage on earth and
passes from existence, as there is nothing more certain than
death. Such a person was Clifton Evans, known to all members of
the student body as "just plain Cliff Clifton was intelligent and
likeable, and was known among a wide circle of friends. He was
courteous and polite, and always extended a friendly greeting
to those whom he met on the campus or off the campus.
His passing is a distinct loss to the college and t this news-
paper, as he was one of the most diligent and industrious workers
the staff has ever known. He had his views on life and stood by
them. But if we are to attain goals, our lives must be possessed
with purposes. Clifton had his, and we admired him for them.
We'll miss Clifton in the staff room, on the tennis courts and
at the swimming pool. We shall miss him for what he meant to
us and to others. Even though he is not with us in person, he will
be with us in spirit always.
Now Is A Good Time To Start Attending Church
Students of East Carolina Teachers College attended Church
in large numbers last Sunday, symbolizing a good start for the
current year. Any student who doesn't enjoy sleep is below nor-
mal as far as his colleagues go, but sacrificing sleep to attend
Church will not bring any regret for those who attend. Through
the ages the best people have been those who have not neglected
the religious way of life, and those who have made Christianity
a part of their lives have found life more enjoyable. Although
some students may miss Church on Sunday morning, they still
have the opportunity to attend Vespers sponsored each Sunday
evening at 6:30 o'clock in Austin auditorium by the Young Wo-
men's Christian Association and the Young Men's Christian
Association. On each occasion there is some inspiring message
that will halp a student encounter problems he finds in his school
life from day to day. In these troublous times a student should
remember that the Christian way of life is going to shape some
of the future policies of the world, as religion is destined to
endure forever.
The gigantic holocaust known as World War II blazed forth
with terrific fury to usher in this week with death and destruc-
tion on five major fronts. First cauic an outburst in the south
as Italy took the lead in a naval engagement with the" British and
the RAF replied with an all-out assault on several Italian cities.
In the Far East Japan opened an offensive against Changsha,
capital of the Hunan province, but the uninese claimed to be
Rose CARLTONADUNN i huiding thelr uwn' And M Lhe usslans fought grimly against
5 ir u�,�.n.v mounting Nazi pressure on the southern and northern boviet
UORls riOt KADA i . , ,
fronts, the Germans themselves were battling underground re-
volts and sabotage from Norway to the Lalkans.
Those are lour fronts. 1'robably the most important front
of the entire war, however, is in Washington, where the admin-
istration has opened its campaign for the repeal of the Neutrality
Act, which would, in effect, constitute an open utclaration ot war
on theaxis powers.
As these battles of the present rage on, perhaps it would be
well to look to the future and ask what will hapen during the win-
ter, next spring and summer, when and how the conilicit will end.
It seems more than unlikely now that Hitler will crush the Rus-
sian army and take Moscow before the spring as the bitter Asi-
atic winter already sets in. On the warmer southern front it is
possible that the axis forces will drive through to take much ter-
ritory in the Ukraine and to consolidate their position before the
winter is ended and the spring campaigns begin.
With the situation as it now stands, there are two major
fronts, on one or both of which the outcome of the big show may
be decided. Should Hitler dig in for the winter in the north and
east and drive south through Turkey to India and rich rewards
in oil and food supplies, Germany and Italy w ill probably be
aligned against England, Russia, Turkey and possibly the United
States in decisive military operations in Africa, Syria, Iraq, ran,
Turkey and southern Russia. The victorious side in such a battle
would almost undoubtedly be the ultmate victor in this gigantic
world folly. In a movement of this type the superior Nazi legions
would be forced to strike with blitz tempo to overcome harass-
ment by the RAF in the west, the Russian mechanized armies
and air force in the east and by sabotage and underground agen-
cies at home. With all-out material and probably military aid
from this country the outlook on a southern war favors the
Allies.
But a push to the south may be Hitler's last chance of win-
ning the war. Should he wait and let the outcome of the conflict
be decided in battles on the eastern front next summer, the Unit-
ed States will have a fatal (to Hitler) six months to build its
armedf orces andt o turn out armaments of all types for England
and the Union of Socialistic Soviet Republics. English and Ameri-
can armies might attempt an invasion of the continent from the
west or from the south in addition to aiding the Reds. And while
the democracies and their allies use this time for valuable prep-
aration. Hitler would have his own trouble with saboteurs in
Germany and conquered countries. Nazi reserves in men. metal
and oil, already depleted in the Russian war. would be lowered
still more by sporadic outbursts on ali fronts during the winter,
while the democracies' strength in these vital war materials
would increase constantly with United States output.
Regardless of when, where, why or how the battle
look none too rosy for Mr. Hitler!

More School Spirit Is Needed In This College
STUDENT OPINION
Dear Friends:
My country has called me to the Army, so 1 take this means
When the Pirates opened their 1941 grid year and turned of saying goodbye. It is with a note of sadness and deep regret
in a splendid performance against a background of good train-
ing, only a small number of students attended the game, if we
take the entire student body into consideration. This situation
not only looked bad to the visiting team, but failed to give im-
petus to the home team. It is true that the cheering squads have
not been organized for the current year, but nothing was done to
serve as a substitute for this condition. Each year the lack of
school spirit prevails, but nothing is done about it. A player wants
to play the game squarely and relishes victory. Rut it doesn't

You have taken a lease on life that will transform you from

cess you find in tackling problems later in life. When a student ; and especially one person whom I have already mentioned,
jumps from a high school of a few students to a college of many And when my bus rolls away from the station at the foot of the
students and finds himself among what he regards as total
strangers, he is possessed with a spirit of loneliness. This
is the time for him to begin acquiring new friends, as many of
them will be life-long.
Perhaps the largest single problem of the average college
freshman is that of adjustment. The adjustment process includes
his social and scholastic side of life, and one is just as important
as the other if he is to make a splendid teacher. Meeting the prob-
lems in on the scholastic side of life hinges on a student's study

Uncle Sam is not getting anything but my body, as I'm leaving
my heart at East Carolina Teachers College.
From time to time I'll be sending the Teco Echo bits of in-
formation about the contrast of college life and Army life to keep
you informed on national defense efforts. And I shall be interest-
ed in what's going on back here, too.
When 1 get out of the Army, I shall complete my education
habits, while the social side is confined namely to his extra-cur- here. So until then, goodbye, take care of Ann, and may God be

ment is to join some organization that best suits the interests of
a student. In this the student not only will find ways to utilize
time that come after study, but also friends who are willing to
assist him with his problems as they arise.
All students entering college for the first time have the putty
of their future welfare in their own hands. They can shape or
break their own destiny. Let the chips fall where they may.
with all of us until we meet again.
Our School Is An Exception!
It has long been established that East Carolina Teachers
College with an enrollment of more than 1200 students from all
over Eastern North Carolina is of definite value to the city of
Greenville and to its merchants.
These more than 1,000 young men and young women, not
unly do a great deal of shopping in the city, but also serve as
an excellent means of advertising for Greenville throughout the
state. Their impressions of Greenville and its business men and
merchants should have considerable influence in the communi-
ties and schools in which they teach or work after graduation.
Members of the Greenville Merchants' Association recognize
the advertising and trade value of ECTC students, as is evidenced
by their special posters, signs and displays in viting the patronage
of these students. Yet when representatives of the college sought
to solicit a comparatively small amount of return advertising
Sincerely, Jimmie Whitfield.
and support from members of the Merchants' Association that
programs to publicize and build up the college football team
might be printed, the Association calmly turned thumbs down
on the proposition and produced rules directed at preventing
any such requests from ECTC or others from being complied
with. �
Obviously these rules have as their purpose to prevent the
merchants' losing money in fradulent advertising schemes. But
should an ECTC football program be considered such a scheme?
Certainly the college is attempting to make no money at the ex-
pense of the merchants. An institution as large and as important
to the business interest of local merchants as in this college should
receive special consideration in this matter.
Tell Your Friends About This, Students

operating with the Entertainment Committee of East Carolina
Teachers College in an effort to bring better entertainment to

er here Saturday. Septem-

Two passes by Marshall Tea-
gue, one to Charles Craven to
put the ball on The two-yard
Tusculum line and one to Bob
Young in the end zone, resulted
in the first ECTC score after
five minutes of play. The Pi-
rates scored twice more in the
first half when Don Marriot
carried the ball 30 yards to the
visitors' one-yard stripe and
then plunged over and when
Bob Young raced 40 yards to
score on a reverse. Butler con-
verted from placement on the
second touchdown to make the
halftime score 19-0.
With 40 seconds gone in the
second semester Marriot scored
again for the Teachers on a 25-

tally came when Stuart Tripp

Says Paul Douglas,
well-known radio announcer
Somebody whistles a few bars of a catchy tune.
Others pick it up.
Soon the whole country's whistling it It's a hit.
oomebody lights up a cigarette.
Likes it. Passes the word along.
Soon the whole country's smoking it.
It's a hit. IT'S CHESTERFIELD.
The big thing that's pushing Chesterfield ahead
Is the approval of smokers like yourself.
Chesterfields are definitely Milder,
Cooler-Smoking and Better-Tasting.
They're made of the world's best cigarette tobaccos
Blended just right tor give you more smoking pleasure.
But even these facts wouldn't count
If smokers didn't just naturally like them.
Once a smoker finds out from Chesterfield
What real smoking pleasure is, nothing else will
Yes, fellow smokers, IT'S YOUR APPROVAL
THAT'S PUSHING CHFSTr�,r n AHEAD.
