as the feature of the Armistice

and spoke highly of Mr. Dan-

a statesman and a scholar.
The Armistice parade start-

with the college and hierh school j
bands, the homo guard, the Boy j

Wrieht building, the bands
rendered several marches as a
preliminary to the main pro-
gram. After the colors were;
advanced. President L. R
Meadows welcomed the guests
to the college, reminding them
that although war clouds hung
ominuously over the world to-
day, Americans still revered
and fostered the celebration of !
peace in this country, and that
we are not forgetful of the
supreme sacrifice of the Amer- i
lean soldiers who gave then-
lives for what they deemed a
worthy cause in the first World
War.
The former ambassador to
Mexico reviewed World War 1.
and reminded the audience that .
our heroes of that mighty con-
flict had not died in vain, al-
though everlasting peace did
not follow that war. "The de- j

Prominent Speaker
Students f East Carolina Teachers College will have a
chance to enjoy the exquisite charm and personality of one of
the outstanding women lecturers of the nation when Mrs. Eleanor
Roosevelt comes to the campus to speak to the student body next
Monday night. Such an individual as Mrs. Roosevelt not only is
characterized by a gift of eloquent speech, but her much-heralded
poise and grace stamp her as truly a wonderful personality. To
meet such a person with due respect and courtesy is a problem
that requires forethought. This program will not be just another
entertainment. It will be an occasion that will not come again
for many of the students on our campus. The college is very
fortunate in securing the First Lady for a lecture here, and we
as a student body must be ready to receive her with the utmost
cordiality. Our actions during her lecture must reflect interest
and genuine pleasure, for that is the very way other groups have
received her throughout her tours. Such a thing as leaving the
auditorium before she finishes her lecture must be entirely obli-
terated from our minds: for that would be a disgrace to the col-
lege. Such unforgivable acts have been demonstrated by students
during previous entertainments, and it has no place in a stu-1
dent body that is self-respecting and intelligent. After the lecture I
is over the students are asked not to rush on the stage in a mad
scramble to secure the First Lady's autograph, for it will not be j
permitted. Mrs. Roosevelt's itinerary is so planned as to forbid
any unnecessary delays at any one stop, and too, students are
urged to realize the strain that she bears through such a gruell-
ing lecture schedule that Mrs. Roosevelt carries. Her time is
valuable and every spare moment that she can find must go for
rest. So, we are asking the students to cooperate in every possible
way in making Mrs. Roosevelt's isit to our campus an enjoyable
one and one that will impress on her mind the fact that E. C.
T. C. is a school that recognizes and respects ability and per-
sonality.
STUDENT'S CORNER
Five feet, seven inches and (censored)
wit, untiring energy, and affable personal!
What's The Reason7
For the first time in many years East Carolina Teachers
College has started to bring the school up to date and give it the
proper recognition it deserves. A good coach and a winning foot-
ball team were produced. A new course was offered to students.
Excellent cheer leaders were secured. The band acquired drum
majorettes who made a might pretty show at the college football
games. Things were looking pretty rosy for ECTC from the stand-
point of school spirit. Why. one of the professors even gave his
classes cuts to attend the games and the students seemed to really
get excited over them. The students have made a real good show-
ing when it come to attending games. Everybody was feeling
mighty happy about school spirit and things were looking up.
But then someone threw a monkey wrench in the show. Just
when school spirti had begun to look like something real instead
of something to talk about and write editorials about, somebody
comes in and throws cold water on our pretty picture. And the
cold water turned out to be a very significant little rule to the
effect that drum majorettes must not appear in short regulation
drum majorettes costumes. And we want to know why.
In hundreds of colleges d-um majorettes wear short full
skirts. To begin with they afford more room for any sort of gym-
nastic show a band could want. Then too they are much prettier
than long skirts or trousers. If there is anything that looks worse
than girls in tight military trousers we'd like to know what it
is. Very few girls can even wear slacks well. They're just not
built that way. And if its the sight of beautiful legs that worries
you then you belong in another day.
The whole thing, that is, not wearing regulation costumes,
seems so silly. What difference does it make? Some evening
dresses are much more indecent than short skirts.
If we want to see East Carolina just bubbling over with
school spirit, why kill it over such a small thing as to whether
their drum majorettes have long or short skirts. And who wants
to see drum majorettes in long skirts any way? We see them that
way every day.
There must have been a reason for this ruling. However the
students can't seem to find out what is is. And from the surface
of things they don't like it either. Won't somebody explain it to
us?
by Roxalie Brown
For the first time since last
Sadie Hawkins Day, Girls tum-
bled out of their beds with a
hungry gleam in their eyes last
Saturday morning. 'Tis true,
'tis true! At last they could
legally chase their man. Skip-
py Alston (looking more like
Daisy Mae than anyone else
around here) started after
Walter Mallard (Li'l Abner,
the second) with determination
and hope. But alas, the real
"Sadie" still had claims after
last year. (Or does she, Wal-
ter?)
Of course the football team
would have to be out of town
on such an important day. But
after a few subtle questions I
learned that some gal chased
Marshal Teague about five
blocks down Fifth Ave. (Deala,
I guess you are glad she didn't
catch him.)
James Tompson very proudly
declared that Jean caught him,
but he wouldn't say what hap-
pened after that. If you hap-
pened to have walked through
the woods about lunch time you
may have thought squirrels are
growing larger this year. For
behold ! Up one tree sat
Ward James, and Ruth Bray
sat at the foot of the tree, a
bottle of Souiez Moi (Follow
Me) in her hand. Then up in
another tree Clifton Britton sat
calmly working out some stage
directions for "Double Door
Beneath the tree sat�censored.
Pat Teel chased Leon for
miles and miles, and then when
she caught him he informed her
he was just running for the
exercise. Margaret Futrelle set
out after "Daddy" Whitfield as
soon as she found him, but she
only wanted to borrow a nickle.
Walter Tucker, alwavs meek
around the women, didn't come
to school all day. Now Walter,
was that nice?
Studying was next to impos-
sible all day. Shirks and groans

consent rat ion. The poor boys

STUDENT OPINION
Dear Editor:
The vast majority of our students are honorable
and are glad to comply with the student government
phases. Inevitably in every group as large as our st
there is a small minority of students who prove thems - ther-
wise. Such persons abuse their own privileges, tak
of others, and disorganise things in general wherevei
It is a deplorable fact that a few such persons are f i our
college. Regretable incidents occur frequently.
Due to the misconduct of this minority the 111
has deemed it necessary to make and enforce certaii
regulations to protect the privileges and rights of oth
liar steps have been taken by the heads of our oth i

Lest We Forget
Time was when Thanksgiving was a time of great joy and
thanksgiving to God for his great mercies and blessings. People
spent most of the day in church. It was considered a time to praise
God and to offer Him thanks for the things he had given them.
But today we celebrate Thanksgiving in quite a different
manner. We think of it as a day to have fun and see football
games. There is not anything wrong with that but we shouldn't
forget the real purpose of Thanksgiving or why we have such a
Day in our national calendar.
Don't think that everywhere people are having the time of
their lives at a dance or a football game. They're not. They're
playing a game all right but it's not like the game we play.
While we stand and cheer as the football hero of the hour
dashes over the goal line, they stand in stolid silence and watch
their homes and loved ones destroyed. The only cheers they hear
are those of bombs as they dash, screaming on their errand of
destruction. The quarterback over there is a madman whose
treachery seems more like the dark ages than 1941. They don't
worry about pains of indigestion after a big meal, they worry
about the pangs of hunger. We find happiness in the sheer joy
of living. To them death is merciful.
There's not really so very much that we can do about it, but
we should net forget that while we are having the time of our
lives watching some team battle on the gridiron they are watch-
creasing this fund which is used
to support Chinese students in
their struggle to acquire an edu-
cation. The last speaker, James
Wilder, chairman of Executive
Committee of Southern Field
Council of Student Y. M. C. A.
explained at length the N. I.
C. C. (National Intercollegate
Christian Conference) to be
held at Miami Universitv, Ox-
ford, Ohio after Christmas. The
closing worship was conducted
by students of Johnson C.
Smith.

Bergen Team
For Sixth Win
Scoring the winning touch-
down in the final quarter and
repelling a last minute thrust
by their opponents, the Pirates
of ECTC defeated Bertren Col-
lege. 13-7, at Teaneck, N. J last
Friday evening. It was the sixlh
-traight victory for the Teach-
ers and the first loss of the sea-
son for the Bergen team.
Things popped early in this
contest, when two touchdowns
were racked up in the first
three minutes of play. Smash-
ing off the weak side, a Bergen
back raced 67 yards to score
for the home team. Conversion
was trood and Bergen led 7-0.
In the resulting kickoff Don
Marriott gathered in the pig-
skin on the coal line and hipped,
crashed and twisted his way for
94 vards before beintr downed
on the Bergen six. This is the
longest run to date for any
Pirate. On the succeeding play
Nick Zuras passed to Billy
Greene for the score, converted
to knot the count at 7-7.
Jerome Butler, who has starr-
ed at tackle throughout the sea-
son for the Buccaneers, came
into the limelight once aeain
for the Teachers when he block-
ed a Bergen boot on the home
team's 20. Floyd Woody cover-
ed the ball on the one-yard
stripe for the Pirates and Wil-
son Schuerholz bucked across
for the winning tallv. A pass
intercepted earlier by Stuart
Tripn. ECTC's roving center,
set. the stage for that touch-
down.
Then came that terrific goal-
line stand by the Teachers. Ber-
sren drove to the Pirate one
with 37 seconds left to play. On
the next play a Bergen back
crashed over, but the play was
called back and a 5-yard offside
nenalty was assessed against
the Jersey team. Two last-ditch
masses were broken up. and the
Teachers remained in the select
croup of undefeated.
Marriott. Tripn. Greene. Bob
Miller. Tripp Butler. Schuer-
holz and Captain Jimmie Gian-
akos paced the attack of the
Pirate team. The plav of the
entire ECTC eleven was near
perfect.
Basketball Notes
Coach John Christenhury has
announced that negotations
are being carried on with six
outstanding basketball powers
in the stste and vicinity for
games with the Teachers this
season.
Coach John is corresponding
with Elon, Appalachian, WCTC,

an attempt to schedule some
good basketball teams for
games here this winter. None
of these games have been
closed as yet because of press-
ure on the teams in closing the
football season.
The Teachers will definitely

Girls To Have
Soccer League
The girls out for women's
intramural athletics are show-
ing- a great deal of spirit in
their hockey league play, ac-
cording to Miss Dorothy Parks,
but there aren't enough girls
registered for intramurals, ac-
cording to Miss Parks.
Hockey play will be wound
up this 'week, and soccer for
women is slated to begin here
next week. Miss Parks declares
that a large number of girls
will be needed for this sport
and urges that anyone interest-
ed in intramural athletics make
application to play soccor at
once.
According to the women's
physical education instructor,
onlv about 35 of the more than
1,000 girls in this college are
showing an interest in the weli-
manped intramural program.
Many more girls than 35 will

With an all-winning team for
the first time in the history of
the college, the Pirates have
rolled over six teams during the
course of the 1941 season.
Included in Those six vic-
tories of the Teachers this sea-
son have been five out-of-state
teams. The Pirates have upheld
the name of North Carolina
football in their journeys out of
the state by upsetting Erskine
14-7 and doing for Bergen. 13-7.
The Pirates were forced to
come from behind in both of
those contests. The victory over
Bergen should prove to be the
highlight of the entire season
for the Teachers. Bergen Col-
lege, not only was undefeated
before this season, but had lost
only one game previously in
three years of competition.
Other teams defeated bv the
Teachers this season are Tuscn-
;lum College. Greeneville. Tenn
131-0: Naval Apprentices. Va
i390;WCTC, 19-6: and Naval
i Hospital. Portsmouth. 30-0.
The powerful East Carolina
j cxid machine has rolled uo a
j total of 146 points to 20 for the
combined opposition this vear.
I Wilson Schuerholz, running
from the fullback position, has
crossed the pav strine most fre-
quently this fall. He leads the
team scorers with 36 points. Don !
Marriott. Pirate wineback. has
four touchdowns and seven ex-
tra points to his credit for 31 I
points. Hilly Greene, playing
at. end, ranks third with 18
points, while end Charlie Cra-
ven, and backs Bob Young and
Nick Zuras have 12 points eh
to their credit. Pan Waddell.
Stuart Trinp. Bill Grant and
Marshall Teague have tallied
one touchdown each for six
points. The other point was
scored by Jerome Butler on a
nlacekick for point after touch-
down.
The Bucs have onlv to get by
Belmont Abbey at Belmont to-
morrow to complete the season
with an unblemished record and
become the first undefeated
grid team in the historv of East
Carolina Teachers College.
Russell Rogerson, form star
tackle for Greenville high
school, earned a starting posi-
tion at ECTC this season. Rus-
sell suffered a dislocated should-
er in the Erskine game and is
not expected to see action
against Belmont Saturday.
Wilson "Yank" Schuerholz. a
clutch runner, leads the ECTC
team in scoring for the current
s -son. He has tallied 36 points
from his fullback position. Wil-
son is expected to lead the
Teachers against Belmont Ab-
.bey tomorrow.
Pirates Defeat Erskine
By One-Touchdown Marsin
Forced to fight back in the
final minute of play to tally
the winning touchdown, the
battling Pirates of ECTC scored
a 14-7 victory over the Erskine
i College Seceders at Due West.
S. C. Friday, October 13.
With but seconds to go in the
fame, Marshall Teague faded
back and tossed a touchdown
pass to Billy Greene in the end
zone on a play that started from
the Erskine 12 to provide ihe
East Carolina victory margin.
The Pirates reached the 22 on a
1 punting exchange and pushed
to the 12 to set up the score.
Things popped fast in the
game at Erskine in the early
minutes. After the Seceders
drove to the Pirate 41. Hunter
smashed off tackle, reversed his
field and raced all the way for
'the score. Horton converted
from placement.
The Teachers knotted the
jount in the third stanza, when
Teague passed to Greene, who
lateraled to Adrian Brown for
a touchdown.
Although the Pirates out rush-
ed the home team 214 vards to
213. the Seceders made seven
first downs to five for ECTC.
While the South Carolina team
completed four of eight passes,
the Teachers made good only on
their touchdown aerials in 12
attempts. Several ECTC passes
which might have resulted in
scores were juggled and drop-
! ped by receivers.
Touch Football
Rates Top Place
In Men's Sports
Men's intramurals are in full
-wing at the college now and
several exciting games of touch
football have already been reel-
ed off by athletic participants.
Sammy Crandell's touch-foot-
ball aggregation proved too
much for the followers of Wal-
ter Tucker in a battle plaved
on the athletic field Thursday.
October 30. Crandell's team
came out on top by a score
of 31-12.
Sammy and his footballers
felt the sting of defeat on Tues-
dav. November 4. when the
griddera of Charles Cushman
defeated the Crandell team. 9-0.
The teams of Cushman and
Crandell will meet again next
Tuesday, and Cushman and
Tucker will clash in the final
; game of the year next Thurs-
i day.
Only a victory over the Bel-
mont Abbey gridders at Bel-
mont tomorrow stands between
the ECTC Pirates and the first
undefeated season In the his-
tory of the school.
Although Belmont Abbey
boasts one of the strongest
teams met by the locals during
this season, the Teachers will
be favored to win this one and
keep their 1941 slate clean.
Victories over Tusculum. the
Naval Hospital, the Naval
Apprentices, WCTC, Erskine
and Bergen college have been
racked up by the Teachers in
their victory march this season.
Bergen College, undefeated be-
fore during this season and
beaten onlv once in three years,
fell to the Pirates, 13-7, last
week in the outstanding game
of the year for the locals.
Coach John Christenbury's
proteges came through that en-
counter with no serious injuries
and will be in top shape for
Saturday's game. Russell Rog-
erson. who suffered a dislocat-
ed shoulder in the Erskine
game, is expected to be back in
action tomorrow, as Dan Wad-
dell. quarterback who saw very
little action last week as the
result of a knee injury received
in the Erskine game a week
earlier.
Probable starters for East
Carolina include ends Lilly
Greene and Charlie Craven,
tackles Jerome Butler and Jack
Young or Bull Roberson, guards
Bill Lucas and Captain Jimmie
Gianakos, center Stuart Tripp,
and backs Don Marriott. Wil-
son Schuerholz. Pan Waddell
and Marshall Teague.
