seven years of library ex-
perience which was too much to
throw away Such is the story
of how E. C. T. C. Librarian
Felix Eugene Snider embarked
upon his present career.
At Southeastern Missouri
State Teachers College, Cape
Girardeau. Missouri, Mr. Snid-
er's college training was in the
field of science. After his seven
year's experience as librarian
at his Alma Mater, Mr. Snider
studied further at the Univers-
ity of Illinois where he received
professional and graduate train-
ing in library science.
As successor to Mr. J. R.
Gulledge. Mr. Snider is continu-
ing the late librarian's plan to
accumulate back volumes of
periodicals. At present Mr.
Snider is occupied with the ex-

Virginia, Willie Mae Daniels,
of Oxford, Virginia Cooke, of
Wilson, and Frances Lewis
were elected president, vice-
president, secretary and treas-
urer, respectively, of the fresh-
man class at the balloting held
last week. The election of a coed
as a class president breaks this
year's trend when each of the
other three classes elected a girl
as their leader.
Othr positions filled by the
voting were: Tecoan represent-
ative. Helen Page Johnson;
Teco Echo representative, Ca-
therine Hester; W. S. G. A. re-
presentative. Sara Stanton.
The newly-elected president,
who before coming to E.C.T.C,
achieved rank of an Eagle Scout,
held an outstanding office in
the Pi Phi National Fraternity,
and now is a member of the
cheering squad here, announced
that the theme of the Class of
'45 will be, "Build School
Spirit
Jarvis is also serving as one
of the college cheerleaders. He
and Charlie Cushman are the
coed leaders.

sented to the "college by P. W.
Pickelsimer, proxy for Mr.
Tabor's mother, Mrs. J. B. Ta-
bor, who donated the painting
to the college. President Leon
R. Meadows accepted and ac-
knowledged the presentation.
Dean C. Tabor, who passed
away last September was loved
by teachers and students alike.
During the time that he was a
faculty member of this institu-
tion, Mr. Tabor's influence was
felt in all fields of music and
since his death that spirit
which he embodied continues to
be alive.
Representing the students
with whom Mr. Tabor worked
Vernon Keutemeyer gave a
tribute, in which he expressed
the true friendship and
musicianship shown at all times
by the late music department
head. Miss Kathleen A. Plumb,
member of the faculty of the
Training School, also praised
the work of the former faculty
member.
Selections by the college
band, conducted by R. W. Get-
chell, were "Prelude" from the
L'arle-sienne Suite by Bizet and
"Barcarolle" from Tales of
Hoffman by Offenbach. The
ladies' glee club, under the di-
rection of Miss Gussie Kuy-
kendall. sang "The Lord's
Prayer" by Malotte-Dies and
Gaunod's "Sanctus The Train-
ing school chorus, with Miss
Hazel Elsom directing, also ren-
dered two selections, "Drink to
Me Only With Thine Eyes" and
"Now the Day is Over
Carrying out the theme of
Halloween, the Junior-Fresh-
man masquerade ball proved to
be one of the most entertaining
dances the campus has seen in
years, according to those stu-
dents attending. Dressed in
various costumes, the masked
students presented a colorful
picture.
Highlighting the evening's ac-
tivities was the figure in which
� the newly-elected officers of
I the freshman class were pre-
sented. Participating also in
this feature was the junior class
officers, the faculty advisers
and the chairmen and members
of the dance committees. A
grand march followed in which
everyone took part. Halloween
favors were presented to the
guests. Winner of the prize for
the most original costume was
Donald Perry, who was dressed
as Miss Annie L. Morton, dean
of women.
Those attending who did not
wish to dance were entertained
by apple-bobbing, the spook-
room, fortune telling, and other
tynes of recreation.
Music for the occasion was
furnished by Billy Knauff and
Deans of Rhythm. Approximate-
ly five hundred students and
guests attended.
"There is hardly anyone who
isn't doing something of na-
tional importance. We are very
grateful tor all the help you
are giving us in this struggle,
and we are all eagerly looking
forward to the day when the
war will be over Such is the
opinion of a British boy as ex-
pressed in a letter which was
received in Greenville on the
morning after Mrs. Edward R.
Murrow had expressed the same
sentiment as a representative
of the British people.
On Wednesday, October 22,
Mrs. Morrow, the British repre-
sentative for the American or-
ganization of Bundles for Bri-
tain, appeared before a large
audience in Austin Auditorium
under the auspices of the local
unit of Bundles for Brtiain.
"That the work of this organi-
zation is filling a great need in
a war-torn country" was the
theme of Mrs. Murrow's ad-
dress. The articles from Amer-
ica are received by the English
with great delight, Mrs. Mur-
row states. The English people
are learning great deal about the
United States, its cities and its
towns, since each "bundle" con-
tains a tag telling from which
unit it came. Mrs. Murrow paid
tribute to the fine spirit shown
by Americans and urged them
to greater efforts.
Captain A. W. Bisset of H.
M. S. Formidable, who has had
extensive experience in the war
also stated his appreciation for
the assistance and for the
friendly attitude shown by
Americans. Recently Captain
Bisset took part in laying a
keel in a battleship at the Eliza-
beth City naval yards. He ex-
pressed the hope that as the
bolts hold the keel together,
the friendly attitude which has
grown up between Britain and
America will be bound together
following the war.

Dean Tabor
It is with the utmost respect and appreciation that the Col-
lege accepts the oil painting of the late Dean Tabor, whose
memory lives as strongly on this campus as it would had he been
with us only yesterday. His name stands for excellence and great-
ness in his field, and also to think of him is to admire again the
outstanding qualities that branded him a kind and understand-
ing individual in the profession that calls so loudly for such
characteristics�the teaching profession. Dean Tabor was not
only a good teacher: he was a good friend. He always had a kind
word for the student, and his association with the students he
taught certainly inspired those students to a plane that would
make any teacher proud. Mr. Tabor, through his energetic and
ambitious self, completely revised the music setup at the college
and led the erstwhile dormant music department from the
shadows of unimportance to the shining path of recognition.
He accomplished all of this in the very few years that he was head
of his department, and his fine work started the E. C. T. C. music
department on the road of achievement. Since his death, Mr.
Dittmer. who gained valuable experience by being fortunate
enough to work under such a leader as Mr. Tabor, has carried
on the work of his predecessor in such a way that Mr. Tabor's
efforts were not in vain. The present music department is rapid-
ly expanding and will undoubtedly rank with the majority of col-
leges in the state in the near future.
To the family of Mr. Tabor, we say "thank you" from the
bottom of our hearts. The painting will take a place of promin-
ence among our pictures, and the very presence of his likeness
in our halls of learning will be as a guiding star of accomplish-
ment for those who knew him and those who will learn of him.
Between yawns and nods of my very tired head, I will try
to begin this column for the second time. Of course every one
knows the let-down feeling one gets on Monday morning after a
large week-end.
Margaret Russell has not taken a back seat this year. Nope,
not that girl. She was seen helping with several of the floats for
the Homcoming Parade. It happened to be her idea that won
first place for the Sophomore class. Of course you saw that
though, we hope. Russell also helped with the W. S. G. A. car
decorations. She has been quite a helpful person for the freshman
class. By the way Margaret�how is the "Merritt" system coming
these days?
The Poe Society would kindly hug Bill Council's neck I'm
sure, if they thought he wouldn't run. He was such a big help
with their float that they don't know how to thank him. Bill
spent the whole morning decorating, and then put on a bath robe
(no. he didn't take a bath, however) and took the part of one of
the characters on the float. Bill is a member of the freshman
class and hails from Durham way. Oh, boy, "my home town
Frances Phelps and Dopey Winesette did their part for the
same float. Frances was a co-chairman, and did a large part of
decorating. She did not ride on the float, but you saw her strutting
with the band, no doubt. Don't we, B. M.? Oh, yeah, I nearly for-
got. Dopey drove that little pick-up. In case you hear of a vacancy
for a truck driver, let her know. She has had plenty of experi-
ence. (Now boys, I mean driving the truck!)
Homecoming seems like a thing of the past now, but I do
remember that Rudy Walters loan his car to the Emerson's and
Ralph Tucker's went to pretty little Harriet Marshburn's organi-
zation. Fine cooperation I would call it. Don't you?
In case you see "hep-cat" Maddrey limping around the cam-
pus, you might inquire how her hip is getting. Ellen had a very
narrow escape when at glee club practice one night last week she
met with an accident. She fell over the foot lights on the stage
of Austin and to the floor which is quite a drop. Several brusies
and some sore muscles seem to be the worse of what could have
been a very serious accident. Sure hope she is soon able to "jive"
some more. This might be a warning to others that the stage
is a dangerous place.
This column wasn't intended to a Thank You affair but it
seems that students around the campus have been doing so many
things to be thanked for that this issue has turned out that way.
Ben Miller is another who has been generous with his car. At
the last minute last Friday he saved the day for some of us YDC
members by taking his car, when we needed one so badly. But
Ben said it was worth it Three times.
This week has meant a lot to some of us, but I guess as much
to one of our ole friends as anybody else. Bob Young should be as
glad to get back as we are to have him. We sure missed him and
it seems good to see that smiling face again. Bob always does
have a smile, sometimes to accompany a wise crack, and others
just because he is good natured.
Frankly I'm getting sleepy, so I won't rack my brain (no
remarks) until next issue. Sure would like to hear from you
readers as to how you like (?) this column. If you don't: say so.
One ci icism has come in that it isn't dirty enough, can I help it
if the printer uses such clean paper? But you can drop a card,
or note in the Teco Echo box if have something you would like to
have put in about a friend. And Suggestions, PLEASE. Till
Then . . .

Pugnacious Dancers
Social activities are considered a vital part of any students'
college life if they are the kind of activities that are beneficial
from the standpoint of health, relaxation, and entertainment.
Dancing is considered such an activity on this campus and so we
are given that privilege, as long as it is beneficial to our social
needs.
However when dancing becomes a physical education course
in boxing minus a friendly attitude, it no longer holds its status
as a beneficial social activity.
Saturday night at the Junior-Freshman dance, things were
suddenly changed from a dancing good time to a boxing match.
The contestants were a student and a former graduate who were
both adept at the manly art of self defense and had they both
been sober, in the ring, and properly refereed, perhaps the fight
would have been very interesting. But fighting at a college dance
with many guests to witness the skirmish doesn't seem quite
right to us. To begin with, it was rude and impolite both to the
hosts and to the guests�or maybe we skipped that passage of
Emily Posts that says fighting is perfectly permissible and in
excellent taste when one is a guest at a dance. And then too, we're
very sure that the outsiders who attended will think so much
more of East Carolina because it allows fighting at college
dances.
Perhaps you say there was just cause to fight. Well, maybe
so, but the dance floor isn't usually considered the place to dis-
play one's pugnacious art. If you have to fight, why pick the dance
floor for it?
If the students of East Carolina Teachers College enjoy the
privilege of having dances, they should not abuse it by staging
brawls at their dances. It's up to the student body to see that the
privilege is not lost. And the best way we know to keep that
privilege is to give it only to those who will conform to the rules.
Probably nothing will be done about removing the dancing
privileges from the student body this time, but the administra-
tion might not overlook another incident like that of Saturday
night, for it casts a bad light on the college.
The students should protect their privileges. Just because a
few persons refuse to cooperate, should the students tolerate it
and lose their own privileges and lower their college in the eyes
of the public? Well, they are going to do just that if they continue
to give social privileges to those who don't deserve them.
Spirit vs. Stubbornness
A deplorable and complicated situation has recently been
uncovered on our campus, and it presents a most complex prob-
lem�one that can be remedied easily if certain pedagogues will
make a desperate effort to be just a little more lenient and broad-
minded, or it can be ignored and stored up as just another failure
for the interest of school spirit.
There are never over three occasions when athletic events,
namely, football games, would tend to conflict with classes dur-
ing the fall. In fact, only twice this fall have there been games
on Friday afternoon. School spirit seems big and important
enough to warrant the letting out of classes on these two days.
Constant clamors have been heard from various and sundry head-
quarters concerning the issue "School Spirit Let us suppose
that a big majority of the students decide to attend a home game
for their first time. Then they learn that their beloved teacher
decidedly will not let the students attend the game, but they must
come on to class and try to study, their minds wandering out to
the football field and making studying impossible. It just doesn't
add up. If there is going to be an increasing demand for better
school spirit, there are going to be necessitated inconveniences
and sacrifices for everyone, including the teachers. If not, school
spirit will just have to keep the back seat it now possesses.
Let's give it some thought, and try to work together in mak-
ing necessary allowances both in and out of classes in trying to
bolster our school spirit. It's school spirit vs. stubbornness, and
we are pulling for a victory for the spirit!
Country Goes To Town!
by Rosalie Brown
Last Friday morning two car loads of enthusiastic Young
Democrats left dear old ECTC for points North. Meaning, of
course, Raleigh to attend the Legislature. Well, frankly, I didn't
know exactly what to expect, so I couldn't have been disappointed.
After what seemed to have been days of traveling we reach-
ed our destination. Parting at the Capitol to find places more
comfortable than park benches on which to sleep (in case we
couldn't find anything else to do) we said we would meet in a
half hour to go get something to eat.
Everybody found a place to hang his clothes, or at least we
thought they had, and we were back in front of the Capitol at
the designated time. Having over-looked the slight fact that Capi-
tol has four fronts, we waited at one front until hunger over-
came us and we staggered forth to the nearest odor of food.
Upon returning to the Capitol just in time to get to the first
meeting, Ben and I got lost from all the others. We entered the
Capitol and climbpd the stairs to the House and Senate. To my
great surprise and dismay (?) I beheld a hall full of boys, all
shape, sizes and colors. The start seemed well enough, but alas . . .
there were other hopeful females on the scene. After receiving a
tag, that labeled you as to your name, school, and where you
would be. we went to a "pep" meeting. There was really no pep
there. Wake Forest had all the elections sewed up, and everything
went off with little thunder. I saw Marjorie talking with some-
thing that looked like a cross between a football hero, and a Greek
god. It turned out to be the newly elected speaker of the House.
Davis informed me that she had had her eye on him since last
vear. And did I blame her? I did Not! Our group split up to go
to the different assemblies. Ruby Grant, Mildred Beverly and
Janie Fakes went to the Senate. There it is reported that they
really did things true to E. C. T. C. form. (Cornering the cutest
boys, and doing a good job of talking).
Slater, Miller. Doris Brock, Cordell. Davis and I remained
in the House and kept the "Home fires burning
Hours and Hours passed while hot debates took place on
such bills as the impeachment of Senator Reynolds, Neutrality,
Short and Long term Foreign Policys.
About six o'clock we adjourned to go to a banquet. Hunger
was again over taking me and the thoughts of a banquet was
wonderful, UNTIL . . I had to pick meal time to get lost. With
a State boy as my guide I thought I was sure to get there on time.
We rode blocks one way to discover the church was in the other
direction. We rode blocks back to have the bus turn off before
we got there. In the end we came upon the scene of departing
delegates, contently fed, and empty plates.
Morning session began once more. Much of the pep, vim, and
heated enthusiasm of the day before was lacking so early in the
morning. But during dull moments when one body was waiting
on the decision of the other gag questions and statements were
brought up: In the house one of these consisted of a young man
rising from the floor and asked a question in reference to a state-
ment the night before about the teachers not needing a salary that
they could buy mink coats, convertibles, and go to Florida with.
The boy asked, " What I want to know is why you can't send all
these good looking teachers, dressed in mink, riding in convert-
ibles on down to Florida? I live there
Over in the Senate it was quite a different story. A member
to whom Ruby had very innocently given her name, address, and
telephone no. rose and before the entire Senate that he had a
point of qualification. Thus Ruby's personnel was exposed with
200 hundred boys with pencils in hand to make a note. Ruby I
hope they don't all call at the same time.
All Merle and Ben have to say is, "Aren't there any con-
ventions to be held at a girl's school?" P. S. We forget to men-
tion that these two went to the place where they thought they
had a room, and discovered someone had beat them to bed! Don't
worry though, State wasn't so crowded that there wasn't an extra

Quotable Quotes
by Associated Collegiate Press
"When most people think of
democracy, almost invariably
their first reaction is in terms of
Jefferson's dictum, 'Life, Liber-
ty, and the Pursuit of Happi-
ness " Associated with it is the
idea that our national constitu-
tional Bill of Rights is the auto-
matic guarantor enabling us to
achieve the Jeffersonian ideal.
This latter association, however,
is false; for positively there is
nothing automatic about demo-
cratic goals. Their achievement
is the by-product of social en-
ergy intelligently and persistent-
ly applied. The accomplishments
of democracy must turn out to
be more than a pictorial record
in reverse. To avoid such a sit-
uation we in the Americas must
be more interested in the real-
isms of democratic achievement
than we are in uttering voluble
statements about democratic
abstractions. The citadel of

Parade Of Opinion
by Associated Collegiate Press
That familiar picture of a
gloomy, bewildered college
youth is headed for the museum
wall, if results of a survey of
co-ed opinion at the University
of Texas may be believed.
The poll, questioning a repre-
sentative group of 400 from
dormitories, sorority houses, co-
operatives, and campus offices
employing students, showed
Texas co-eds to be possessors of
definite opinions on everything
from politics to hair-ribbons.
Careers are all right in their
places, they say, but that place
is immediately after graduation.
More than half of the women
students want a job the first
year out of college, but, looking
10 years ahead, they're prac-
tically unanimous in voting for
a home and family. Incidental-
ly, that family will probably be
one of from three to seven
children. Statistics may show
that the average American
couple has only one child, but
Texas girls choose three as the
best number.
It makes no material difference now that what ha '� did
happen, but just what will happen in the future is the question
I that is so notent at this time. It is quite surprising to me that
something hasn't been done before about boys coming to the col-
; lere dances in a slightlv inebriated condition�often v ry drunk.
However, I do think the results of the Junior-Freshman dance
! are the most unfair I have ever heard of. Not that I don't thin
j the affair should have been completely ignored, but I honesw
I deem it just that the line should not have been drawn at one of
Hie offenders. I think everyone at the dance who had been drink"
inv should be just as guilty and justly punished as the one person
who absorbed all the punishment.
I wonder if the girls don't feel that thev have a little re-
sponsibility in dealing with such a situation? In fact, I think ever'
eirl should demand that the boys who attend the social affairs
t the college show enough respect to come to the affairs sober.
What do you think other schools will think of E. C. T. C. after
such an incident as the one the other night? It must be stopped.
and stopped right away.

been dropped, but I am just wondering if there will be a follow-

Varied Program
Of Intramurals
Offered To Men
An extensive intramural pro-
gram in athletics for men has
been announced by Athletic Di-
rector O. A. Hankner. and al-
ready participants are being
organized in two sports.
Three teams will be formed
to play in a touch football in-
tramural league. Each team will
consist of eight players, all of
whom have already signed up to
plav the sport.
Walter Tucker. Sammy Cran-
dell and Norman Mayo have
been appointed to captain the
teams by Mr. Hankner. These
boys have proved their worth
as leaders and athletes for
several seasons at ECTC.
Two other sports are includ-
ed in the fall program. Entries
for a ping pong tournament
were closed Monday.
Charlie Craven covered the ball
in the end zone for the touch-
down.
The count was knotted a few
minutes later when Ai Shuford
of West Carolina tossed down
the alley to Captain Bill Smith
for 49 vards and six points.
Center Stuart Tripp covered
a Catamount fumble on the
WC 44 near the end of the third
period. Drives by Wilson Schuer-
holz and Don Marriott carried
to the 28. and a beautifully ex-
ecuted pass from Nick Zuras to
Dan Waddell resulted in a
touchdown for the Pirates.
The final score of the day
came in the final few seconds
when Captain Jimmie Gianakos
intercepted a pass by Smith of
West Carolina and raced 59
vards to the Catamount 19.
Marriott then plunged and
twisted through for the score
and booted the extra point.

With approximately 35 girls
taking part in the Women's in-
tra mural athletics program,
three field hockey teams have
been formed and are playing in
a league, according to an an-
nouncement by Miss Dorothy
Parks, physical education in-
structor for women.
Miss Parks says that a much
larger number of girls is need-
ed to carry out the intramural
program successfully. She urges
that anyone interested in intra-
mural athletics make arrange-
ments to participate in one of
the sports offered at once.
The hockey play will be end-
ed in about two weeks, and soc-
cer will be introduced. A num-
ber of girls will be needed to
make this sport go over sucess-
fully.
In what should prove to be
the most important game of the
entire season the Pirates will
meet the strong Erskine Col-
lege eleven at Due West, S.C
today.
For the first time in 1941 the
undefeated Teachers may enter
this game as the underdog. The
Pirates have rolled up decisive
victories in four games this
season, but all of those triumphs
came in home games and
against weaker teams than the
one boasted by Erskine.
Both teams carry impressive
records into this game, and the
Erskine gridders will have the
advantage of playing on their
home field. The Teachers, who
left here early Thursday, will
have the added handicap of a
long and tiring bus ride just
before the game.
Coach John Christenbury's
proteges will be putting out
their best to keep their victory
string in tact. Erskine last
week defeated the strong Geor-
