Through the instrumentality
of the American Red Cross, the
United States is doing much to
prevent the horrible suffering
and disastrous conditions which
accompany a nation's war and
peace.
East Carolina Teachers Col-
lege's share in the work of the
organization is in the drive to
raise funds for the Red Cross.
Students and teachers together
have already contributed a sum
of over a hundred dollars.
During the fall quarter
this year, sixty sweaters were
completed and turned in; one
hundred and thirty others are
being finished with volunteers
starting new ones every day.
The college Red Cross work-
ers have asked that students
who are anxious to do their
part toward defense volunteer
their services at once.

What can the schools do to

physician and former president
of the Pitt County Medical So-
ciety, died at his home Decem-
ber 13, following several days
of critical illness.
Dr. Nobles was a native of
Pitt County and with the ex-
1 eption of the years of study in
preparation for his profession,
he spent practically his entire
life in this county. Following
his early schooling here, he re-
ceived two years of his medical
curse at the University of
North Carolina prior to attend-
ing Jefferson Medical School
from which he was graduated
in 1899.
Following his profession he
practiced for a short time in
the St. John's community of
this county and in 1900 moved
to Vanceboro where he prac-
ticed until January 1. 1902. Re-
turning to Greenville he began
his practice in May, 1902 and
has continued until his death.
For the past twenty years he
has been official college physi-
cian, and was active until a few
days before his death.
He is survived by his wife
and three children, Huldah
(Mrs. A. E. Huggins of Wil-
mington) John E. and Lucy,
ECTC student, from Greenville.
Other survivors include a
brother W. L. Nobles and a
sister Mrs. Jesse Speight also
of this city.

guest speaker for the Vesper
Service held in Austin Audi-

sponsored by the Y. M. C. A.
and Charles Marks, president
of the organization, presided.
Miss Ernest used as her
theme, "Christian Growth
The first important thing for
a Christian student to do is to
recognize that we can and must
grow. Then we must pattern
our growth after an ideal per-

Christian growth, happiness
and satisfaction will be derived.

people and we will soon grow
to be like him.

An entirely different attrac-
tion will be presented February
5 in Austin Auditorium by the
Chi Pi players in cooperation
with the Greenville chapter of
the American Association of
University Women. "Little
Black Sambo" composes the title
for this novelty in the dramatic
field. Performances will be-
gin at 3:00 and 8:00.
Directed by Clifton Britton,
who has brought to the campus
such successes as "The Scull
"Wuthering Heights "Double
Door and many others, the
play presents a cast filled with
names never appearing before
on an East Carolina Teachers
College playbill.
Working with Mr. Britton
and the cast is Dave Owens,
stage manager. Dave has gain-
ed considerable experience in
this type of work by assisting
backstage on every Chi Pi pro-
duction presented this year.
Taking the lead as Little
Black Sambo is Tom Rowlett,
an import from the dramatics
department in the Greenville
high school. Tom has been a
prominent figure in the high
school drama circles. Last year
he appeared in the winning
play in the North Carolina

Resolutions Are Made Only To Break
So Start Breaking, Students!
A Job For Everyone
December 7. 1941 � a date that shall go down in history
books as the day that a great nation went to war to defend a type
of government that people of other nations envy nad long for�
a government that is "of the people, for the people, and by the
people a government that gives freedom of speech, freedom of
religion, and freedom of the press.
Then perhaps in the next paragraph you will read whether
or not they won that war. The answer lies with us, the Youth of
the nation. We must win that war. We shall win that war.
However, in order to win this war we must temporarily re-
linguish certain privileges that heretofore we have taken for
granted. We must covert all of our petenial energies into actual
work, into united action if we are to have Victory.
Already on this campus many individuals and organizations
are doing just that. Many of our boys have enlisted for active
duty. A great number of our girls are aiding our national defense
program by knitting sweaters and other garments for the Red
Cross, or by taking courses in Home Nursing. Many have given
money to various Defense organizations or have put their savings
into National Defense bonds and stamps. All these things are
commendable and we are proud of those students who are help-
ing in these ways and we encourage others to join them on their
victory march.
But there are so many who do not have the time or the money
for such things, and so feel that there is nothing for them to do.
They are 100 wrong. There are jobs for everyone.
The biggest job for all of us is to learn to conserve the
materials we already have�to use everything we have as long as
possible. This will be hard for we are in the habit of spending
our money freely and a lot of it is spent unwisely on articles that
are unnecessary but nice to have. So remember first of all to save.
Don't waste anything.
Second don't be an alarmist. Be sure you know what you are
talking about before you start stories that are apt to frighten
people. This is no time for unnecessary excitement. Above all else
the nation needs cool, level-headed people. As the once popular
dance tune says�"Keep cool, fool, if you don't know what vou're
doing
And, third, don't believe all you read and hear unless you
have an authority to back it up. Rumors travel fast under any
conditions but in a dormitory they travel faster.
So you see we can all do something, either actively or by
conservation, keeping a cool head, and weighing the evidences be-
fore believing too much. Come on. now. let's do our part so that
our treasured rights and privileges will always be ours.
by Margaret Ennett
Well, its resolution time
again. How about using some
of those last year's resolutions
you resolved not to break and
then maybe, you accidentally on
purpose, broke? Can't think of
any? Why not put into practice
some New Year resolutions
made by some of our bright
scholars? I've done a little re-
search work and found that
there were some very good (?)
resolutions made here on the
campus. To quote a few:
"Bull" Roberson has whole-
heartedly � well, almost � re-
solved not to have quite as
many birthdays as he had last
vear. So what if the draft age
has gone up to 64�"Bull"
shouldn't worry.
Reckon Charles Cushman will
keep his resolution? He resolves
to stop insulting people in the
year of '42. It'll never happen!
Can't you just almost believe
this resolution was voiced by
several of our brilliant frosh?
One says that she hereby re-
solves in the forthcoming year
to stop practicing campus-ology
(wonder what that means?)
and another one intends to
take up where she left off by
doing her practice teaching in
campus-ology this year.
Do you really intend to keep
yours. Ethel Smith? You know
�the one about not shooting so
many lines that you'll become
entangled in them. Your past
experience must have had some-
thing to do with your resolu-
tion.
Carol Leigh Humphries re-
solves to leave Uncle Sam's
shorter boys to the lower girls.
That's all right. Carol Leigh�
we can't blame you for having
hinher ambitions.

cide whether to resolve to spend

Long: or Short?
Wednesday night the student body of East Carolina
Teachers College voiced their opinion about the recent restriction
forbidding the drum majorettes to wear the regulation short full
skirts. They voted unanimously to removed said restriction. The
students have made their opinion on the matter known, now it's
up to the administration. Whatever the administration's answer
is to the resolution presented to them determines whether or not
this institution has a democratic government. If they accept the
resolution the students will know that they really have a part in
making the governing body of the college a true student govern-
ment. If the opinon of the student body is ignored then the stu-
dents will be justified in believing that the Student Government
Associations are merely names and nothing more.
Too many things have already been done without consulting
student opinion. The students have an idea that anything they
say that does not agree with the opinion of the administration
will be held against them. They are afraid to oppose the admini-
stration in any way even though they think the administration
unfair in some instances. Now the students have taken the step
and have asked for something they want. And if their opinion is
worth anything they wdll get it.
If the student body does not get what they ask for as long
as it is within reason then it's high time somebody does some-
thing about it. But let's wait and see. Until we know the facts
let's just remember one thing . . . whatever the outcome the
student body must stand up and defend their rights . . . that
is if they are worth fighting for. If you have considered the
other side of the question and you are still convinced that you
are right then stand up for your rights and fight for them.

Whose Paper?
Sometimes when I see the masthead of this paper I want to
laugh right out loud. In case you didn't know it, the masthead
has a line that reads like this�"published by the students of
East Carolina Teachers College Well, perhaps that's true in a
sense but a very narrow one. You see the paper is published by
a little more than ten individuals, and if you think they make up
the student body or even give a fair representation of it, then�
well, we don't.
This newspaper should be yours. It is for you but it's not
published as much by you as it should be. Of course some of you
criticize the paper and now and then you praise it, but you don't
do enough of either one.
We want and need your ideas, talents, and opinions. If you
have ideas, speak up. Make yourself known. If you have journa-
listic talents or interests, why not come by the Teco Echo staff
room and help us out? We are more than glad to have you work
with is. If you have an opinion on yany campus activity, either
good or bad, write a letter for the Student Opinion column, and
tell us about it.
Ten students can't possibly represent you adequately. Make
this paper actually yours, not just in name only.

Martins Pressed
To Eke Out Win
Pirates Get One
Before Holidays
After edging a 43-42 victory
over Louisburg in their season
opener plaved here December
! the Teachers bowed to At-
lantic Christian, 42-33. and to
Rio Grande College, Rio
Grande, Ohio. 46-28, in games
played before the Christmas
holidavs.
In the Louisburg game Jack
Young sparked the Pirates with
a total of 17 points. David Wat-
son dropped in 12 points, and
Billv Greene scored six, Wiley
Brown five, Clyde Mann three
land Floyd Woody two points.
Wheeler racked 22 points for
i Louisburg.
Watson tallied 14 points
against ACC to pace the Buc-
caneers. He was followed by
Billy Greene with 10 points and
Jack Young with seven. Col-
ombo led Atlantic Christian
with 14, followed by Smith
with nine.
Rio Grande, boasting a well-
rounded and smooth-working
attack, handed the Teachers
their worst licking in two years
of court play
After holding the strong Wil-
liamston Martins, a fast semi-
pro aggregation to a 17-17 dead-
lock in the first half, the Pi-
rates bowed to pressure early
in the second semester and were
edged 31-28 in a basketball
battle here on Tuesday of last
week.
Roth teams started slow and
the score was knotted up at
the end of the first quarter.
The Teachers evidenced greater
staying power and came back
strong as the second and final
quarters ended.
"Pappy" Deim proved to a
thorn in'the side of the Pirates
as he clowned to 14 points to
take top scoring honors for the
evening. Deim spent much of
his time sliding about the floor
on the seat of his trunks, but
he also spent too much of it in
dropping the ball through the
hoop to suit the Teachers.
For the Teachers, Jack Young
was top scorer with nine tallies.
David Watson and Clyde Mann
scored seven points each, and
Rob Young, playing his first
game for ECTC this year fol-
lowing his recovery from a
footbalinjury, managed to get
in the game long enough to
score four points on field goals.
Rocky Mount T
Handed Defeat
By College Quint
Ripping the cords from all
angles, the Pirates of ECTC
racked up a 46-31 victory over
the Rockv Mount YMCA quin-
tet here last Friday night. It
was the second victory in five
starts for the Teachers, who
held a 20-14 lead at halftime.
Bob Y'oung started the game
and added a needed spark to
the ECTC attack. Bob hit the
basket for three field goals and
six points early in the battle to
spur his mates on. He was
largely responsible for the lead
held by the Buccaneers at inter-
mission. Although he was lead-
ing scorer for the first half,
Bob didn't see much action in
the final semester because of a
head injury received in foot-
ball. He has not been in train-
ing as long as the rest of the
team, and Coach John Christen-
bury was afraid that he might
overwork himself.
Brother Jack Young was high
scorer for the evening with 11
noints. Clyde Mann with seven,
David Watson and Bob with six
and Wiley Brown with four
points ranked next. W. B. Har-
ris. Flovd Woody and Billy
Greene offered good game3 for
the Teachers.
Walker with 11, Hughes and
Felton with five each and Den-
son and Chuthrel with four
points apiece led the attack of
the visitors.
Never threatened, the Teach-
ers won going away. For the
first time during the season the
Pirates evidenced a self-confi-
dence which helped them to
train the victory.
Coach John's boys displayed
a much superior offense than m
nrevious games.
At the foot of towering I
Grandfather Mountain, in the
heart of Western North Caro-
lina, was born one William
Morris Greene, an elongated
fledging of unduly proportions.
How he finally arrived on the
ECTC campus is something of
a mystery although he insists
that breaking up with his home
town girl had nothing to do
with it. In case his identity is
not clear, you will find him
most any night on the stage of
the Campus building�serving
up the jive from the ol' "juke

Hankner Directs
Intramurals
A wide intramural sports
program has been in progress
during this year, and there will
continue to be much activity in
the remaining two quarters of
this school year.
Mr. Hankner, in charge of
the men's physical education
program, has devised a sports
calendar for the winter and
spring intramural sports. The
program will consist of basket-
ball, badminton, dart baseball,
gym bowling, and ping pong.
These games will be played as;
in elimination touraments, and
awards will be given to partici-
pants with the largest number
of points attained.
Miss Parks, who is in charge
of girls' athletics, also is spon
soring such a program for wo-
men. There will be elimination
tournaments just the same as
in the men's events, and a point
system will be used with an
award, such as a medal or
trophy.
The spring quarter will fea-
ture tennis, soft ball, and uorse-
shoes as the chief outdoor ac-
tivities. This excellent recrea-
tional program has grown con-
siderably during the last three
years, and Miss Parks and Mr.
Hankner, who are the physical
j education instructors, supervise
the activities expertly.
Teachers Drop
Close One, 38-28
Playing against terrific odds,
the Pirates battled gallantly all
the way and forced an interest-
ingly close game throughout as
they bowed to the highly-favor-
ed Norfolk Naval Base baskets
bailers, 38-28, in the Wright
gymnasium last evening. In a
preliminary bout the ECTC Bees
dropped their first game of the
jvear, losing to Stokes high
school, 27-25, in a hard-fought
! game.
Displaying the same wizard-
sy that has made them famous
in collegiate circles, the Naval
team grabbed an early lead and
held it until a minute before the
half, when a goal by David Wat-
son knotted the count at 17-up.
Then Franky, former standout
court performer with DePaul
University, was successful on
two quick shots, and the Sailors
went in the van, 21-17, at half-
time.
Battling grimly, the Bucca-
neers pulled close at 24-21 and
26-23 in the early minutes of the
second half. In the final minutes
Jack Young, who played a bril-
liant game at center for the
Teachers, provided the highlight
of the contest. On a tip-off in
the foul circle under his own
basket Jack tapped the ball
through the hoop on a bank
shot for two points.
Having defeated such teams
as VPI, Davidson, and the House
nf David by doubled-up scores,
the Naval five was expected to
take the measure of the locals
without too much trouble. Al-
readv this week the Sailors had
��rushed the Teachers 67-26 in a
game in Norfolk on Monday.
Included in the all-star line-
iun of the Na-al team are Will-
iams, formerly of Bechley col-
lege; Powell. University of Cin-
cinnati: Blenker. Purdue; Mc-
Caully, Marshall college, and
Frankv. DePaul.
Jack Yrounk led the Teachers
on offense with a total of 12
noints to his credit. Floyd
Woody, offering a fine perform-
ance at guard, tallied five points
for runner-up honors. Watson
scored four and Wiley Brown
accounted for three points. Bil-
ly Greene, Clyde Mann, Bob
Young and W. B. Harris were
other leaders for the Teachers.
