In celebrating the diamond
iubilee birthday of the Presi-

over the country are recogniz-
ing the opportunity for aiding
in the fight against infantile
paralysis.
This year a double duty is of-
fered to the people of the
nation. Not only is the fight
against infantile paralysis vital,
but patroitism is involved as
well. The people of Pitt Coun-
ty are accepting this challenge.

Dimes For Defense
Program Received
By Few Students
Thirty dollars of the seventy-
five dollars set as the goal for
January in the "Dimes for De-
fense" campaign was raised
January 20 when the solicita-
tions for contributions toward
the buying of defense bonds for
the college got underway.
Originating as a suggestion
from Miss Mary Cheatham, fac-
ulty member, the program was
worked out in the student coun-
cil and then sent to a mass meet-
ing where it was unaminously
passed.
As the plans stand, the coun-
cil plans to buy a hundred-dol-
lar bond each month for the
duration. At the close of the war
these bonds will be cashed in
and the money will be used for
scholarships and student loans.
The twentieth day of each
month is set aside for the col-
lection of each student's dime.
Committee appointed for the
"Dimes for Denfense" campaign
include Dot Dalrymple, chair-
man, Estelle Davis, and Mar-
garet Russell.
In addition to the student
body's attempt to raise money
for National Defense, each or-
ganization has been asked to
contribute money for buying
bonds to be used for the same
purpose.

Double Absences
There has been for some time now, a great deal of talk con-
cerning the recent faculty regulation on double absences. At the
same time that the regulation was made about the absences, an-
other matter was brought up about dormitory students leaving
campus for week-ends and missing so many classes. There is a
regulation in the handbook that reads like this, "Week-end per-
mits do not excuse students from attending classes. When a week-
end is referred to in this handbook, it must be construed as mean-
ing the time intervening between the last class of one week and
the first class of the next week This regulation has been in the
handbook for years. However it had not been enforced, and the
students had been abusing their privileges by ignoring the ruling
and leaving on Fridays, missing their Saturday classes, and often
missing their Monday classes. So in order to eliminate these un-
limited absences over week-ends, the faculty also made a ruling
that students could not have week-end leaves and miss their
classes. So now there are two regulations saying that students
cannot miss classes for week-end leaves . . . one made by the
student body years ago and one made by the faculty rather re-
cently.
The first ruling had not been enforced; so the students had
been saying nothing and going home when they pleased. How-
ever, after the matter had been brought up by the faculty, the
rule began to be enforced and now the students are really angry.
And the amusing thing about it all is that they are blaming the
double absence rule because they can't leave when they get good
and ready. The regulation on double absences does not have one
single thing to do with dormitory students leaving before their
last class on Saturday and returning after their first class on
Monday. Double absences or single absences, dormitory students
can't leave this campus for week-ends before their last class on
Saturday and must return before their first class on Monday.
Now comes the matter of double absences. If the dormitory
students are not allowed to miss classes for week-end leaves, why
should the day students and boys have the privilege of being
absent when the dormitory students do not? So in order to give
the day students and dormitory students privileges as nearly
equal as possible, the faculty passed the double absence rule.
So there are the facts. These are two separate rules. One to
keep dormitory students from missing week-end classes and one
to keep the day students from doing the same thing.
Now the problem is what are you going to do about the mat-
ter, or are you going to do anything? The cry comes from the
dormitory students that "We want to leave when we get ready,
just as we always have That's fine as long as you feel that way.
And as long as you do feel that way about it, fight for what you
think is right. But for heaven's sake, don't waste time and energy
fussing about the wrong thing. Don't argue about double absences
when they don't affect you one way or the other. The thing you
want done must be done by abolishing the rule in the handbook
and then asking the faculty to abolish the rule they made about
the same thing.
You have the facts. Now weigh them carefully, take your
stand and fight for what you want.

Do Your Part
Ever since the Selective Service Act was passed by Congress
the armed forces of America have been rapidly increasing. And
with this increase has come a problem as to how to provide some
good wholesome form of recreation for the men in their leisure
hours. This problem has been solved to a certain extent by the
USO and civic organizations located near training bases. How-
ever it is practicallly impossible for these groups to take care of
entertaining all the men now in service. Now every organization
that is located near a training base and can help with this prob-
lem, is being asked to do so.
Tuesday night at a student mass meeting the student body
voted to allow service men to attend their Saturday night recrea-
tion hour at the Campus Building and to let the girls attend the
social functions for service men that are to be held at the Wo-
man's Club on week-ends. This action by the student body shows
that they are willing and delighted to do their part in the nation-
al defense program. It shows that they are willing to share their
privileges with those men who gave up their business and col-
lege careers in order to defend the rights of this great democracy.
For this the student body should be congratulated and
praised. By their action they can help to entertain these men who
are far away from home, friends and families. Just think how
you would feel if you were miles from home, knew no one, had
little money, and nothing but movies to spend it on. Think how
you would feel under those conditions and how your brothers and
friends who are in the armed forces of America feel.
You would want people to be nice and friendly towards you
so why not do the same thing for others? You have agreed to en-
tertain these service men now make a good job of it. Make them
feel at home instead of just letting them be there. Be cordial and
friendly and make them feel that you are not just willing to do
your part in National defense but that you are glad to do it.
So let's do all we can and make these boys feel at home and
give thpm a taste of that much-talked-of Southern Hospitality.
In order to raise funds for
the purpose of buying national
defense bonds, he commerce
club sponsored its membership
drive on Tuesday and Wednes-
day, January 27th and 28th.
Dues were slated as .50 and all
commerce majors were invited
to join.
A meeting of the Interna-
tional Relations Club was call-
ed for January 27th in room
209 of Austin at 7:30 P. M.
The president, Bobby Hollar,
urged all members to attend.
All Junior and Senior girls
will be invited to be the guests
of the American Legion at the
President's Ball on January
30th in the Wright Auditorium.
Tt was decided at a joint meet-
ing that the first 300 girls to re-
ceive permission from their
parents would be allowed to go.
They will have as their escorts,
men in the service.
The English club held its
last meeting on January 13th
in the English laboratory. The
theme of the program present-
ed was "Famous American
Periodicals Important to Eng-
lish Majors Dr. Lucille Turn-
er, English Department adviser
spoke on The Sewanee Review.
Later, on the program, Dr.
Posey read several of his very
interesting poems which were
much enjoyed by the group.
Many faculty members and
other visitors were among those
present at the meeting.
At the last Y. W. C. A. cabi-
net meeting the members voted
to take $18.75 from the treas-
ury for purchasing a defense
bond, and agreed to buy addi-
tional bonds in the future if
funds are available. The "Y"
has squeezed its budget this
year in order to contribute to
defense causes. Twenty-five dol-
lars that would ordinarily have
been used to finance a fall-
quarter social was given to
Bundles for Britain. The "Y"
also donated five dollars to the
Red Cross.
There are two new members
on the "Y" cabinet this quar-
ter. Dorothy Sasser has been
elected secretary in the place of
Ora Crisp who isn't in school
this term. Publicity Chairman,
Rachel Farrior. resigned at the
beginning of the quarter, and
Helen Flynn has been appoint-
ed to fill the vacancy. Dorothy
has been a loyal member of the
"Y" since her enrollment in
College, and Helen served on
the cabinet last quarter as
temporary chairman of the
Refreshments Committee while
the regular chairman, Ruth
Britt. was off doing practice
teaching.
Stand by. girls! A deputation
team from State College is com-
ing to E. C. T. C. Sunday eve-
ning of February 1st. to con-
duct Vesper services. There will
be an informal gathering in the
"Y" Hut afterwards.
Too little has been said about
night Watch. This short worship
service � held every Monday,
Tuesday, Wednesday, and
Thursday nights in the dormi-
tories is a new project that was
put in effect at the beginning
of fall quarter. Under the super-
vision of Carol Leigh Humph-
ries some good work has been
accomplished. In organizing her
project, she has appointed
chairmen in each dormitory
wing to see that there is a
place for the meeting and some-
one to conduct the services.
Chairmen in the dormitories
are Nancy Darden, Louise
Thomas, Wilson; Dorothy
Shearin, Sara Cox, Jarvis; Mir-
iam Sexton, Edna Mitchell,
Dorothy Wiggins. Lona Mad-
drey, Ragsdale. The dormitory
students deserve a vote of
thanks for the interest they
have shown and the coopera-
tion they have given.
Plans for the Easter Pageant
are in the making. This year it
is to be bigger, better, and more
beautiful, and it will if all pull
together.
Essay On Women
Editors Note: In the last issue
of this paper we printed an
essay on women. One of the
boys on the campus decided that
it needed to have an answer, so
here it is.
Men marry women�not be-
cause they have to but be-
cause they want to. Women also
have two feet and two hands
but seldom know how to use
them. They rarely if ever have
more than one husband (if
they get that many), they
never have any ideas at any-
time and they have all the
money they can carry but never
seem to know the value of it.
Women differ, from men�
they are not all alike. They
don't smell of bay-rum and to-
bacco nor are their chins stub-
by and hard. They smell of
flowers, their skin is white and
smooth and their hair is soft
and lustrous. But beneath this
veneer of culture and beauty
there lurks a devil incarnate.
They hold a potent power and
they know it. They plunge men
to the depths of Hell and raise
them to the heights of Heaven,
they make them die with their

Red Cross sweaters are roll-
ing off the campus assemblv
line at the rate of two a day. In
the first 20 days of this term
40 sweaters were turned in.
Altogether on campus since the
work was started in the middle
of October 80 sweaters have
been completed and approxi-
mately 150 others are under
construction.
Many more sweaters would
be under way except for the
difficulty of getting wool and
needles. Needles the proper
size simply cannot be bought
for love nor money so great is
the demand for them. Even the
Sears-Roebuck Company which
specializes on one day mailing
service wrote that it might be
thirty days or more before they
could fill an order, and as for
wool the local Red Cross sew-
ing room (through which the
campus is supplied) does not
have a skein of wool left and
has a waiting list for each new
shipment.
The Red Cross, which form-
erly was doing refugee knit-
ting, received instructions as
far back as November to knit
for our own American boys in
service, army, navy, marine
and air force. But so great was
the demand for wool that our
first shipment of service wool
reached campus only two weeks
ago. We were given Wool for 40
navy sweaters all of which were
put under construction in less
than a week, and in less than
ten days some of those same 40
had been completed.
The knitters are all delighted
with the navy wool. It is a
great improvement over the old
refguee wool, and it works up
into quite handsome sweaters
and of course each girl who
knits one will pin her name and
address to it. Come now, play
fair and let us know of any
letters you get from it. Judging
from the large number of Tar
Heels in the war zone, it is
quite possible that our sweaters
may go to some of them.
The navy sweaters were done
by a new pattern none of us
had ever done, so the first one
to be completed got tried on one
of the dates in Wilson parlor
to see how it fitted. It did�
very nicely.
By the way all you knitters
and others keep an eye on the
Red Cross bulletin board�the
board just outside of the Y
Store. From time to time
notices of interest and calls for
volunteers for specific odd jobs
which need to be done will be
posted. Here is a chance for
many of you who do not knit to
help in other ways.
The Editor has requested a
Red Cross column for each
issue, so�Goodbye now until
next time.
STUDENT OPINION
To the Editor:
Everyone seems to be dissatisfied with the recent :
regulation which established the present system of "d
yet there is much disagreement as to what should be d
it. Some of the students do not like the idea at all and pr
er cuts to be taken at no specified time. Others recoj
value of the existing eight absences system and want to
it at all costs. This enables a student who has been ou1
of sickness, for example, to return to school and mak
work In many schools this would not be possible. The r
which seems to be causing more trouble than the "d
system is the one which makes the dormitory stud

regulation is unfair because it discriminates against the s1
who live some distance from Greenville and also the u
students. Students would not object to the "double cut" sysb m so
much if they were allowed to take these "double cuts" when
wanted to or needed to. We believe that the student body is
minded and that most students realized that something had
done to keep teachers from having empty classes on Saturda
there is absolutely no logical reason whv students should lot be
allowed to go home or to functions off the campus on week
in a limited number of cases. We believe that two week- Is i
quarter is the least that should be expected. Parents too are
wondering why their children can not come home for a k-end.
In the case of students who live some distance from the c
I imp�!slble for them to leave on Saturdav afternoon ai
back Monday for a morning class. This is not a Nunnery
penal institution yet this "week-end regulation" belong in an
institution of that type, not at E. C. T. C. The students an
manding that this regulation be reconsidered along with a gen-
eral reconsideration of the whole "double cut" program. It seems
to us that the best solution would be to keep the eight absence
system with all it's good points and possiblv even the "double cut"
regulation but allow these to be taken at the students discretion.

To the Editor,
With due respect to those students who did their part on
January the Twentieth by contributing their dimes for the bond
to be bought, I'd still like to jump on that greater majority who
welched on the obligation they undertook. If I remember correct-
ly the entire student body voted as a whole to give a dime a
month individually towards buying a bond which would be pur-
chased in the name of the college. The idea was that to buy a bond
now would be contributing to national defense, and that later
when the war is over the returns from the bonds would be used
in loan funds or scholarships to help worthv students. If vou
werent willing to give your dime�-whv did vou vote to do so?
Every student here should be told that onlv thirty dollars was
raised when if we all had done our part a hundred and twenty
would have been collected. Next month lets let our dimes flow
more freely�it's one thing you and I can do�it's one part we can
take in the fight that's going on.The fact is it's not enough just
to Remember Pearl Harbor�let's remember it�but lets do
something about it.

PARADE OF OPINION
by Associatel Collegiate Press
Higher education must have for the coming vear an in-
telligent and a consecrated leadership. The selective'service and
other war measures have already disturbed its program. More
drastic changes are quite possible.
In order to gain the victory in this dreadful war and also to
win the peace at its conclusion the nation must have a steadv flow
of educated leaders. This is not only true for the militarv forces
and governmental agencies, but equally so for industry, business
and the professions.
Because of the lowering of the minimum age for selective ser-
vice, most of the colleges have decided to accelerate their pro-
grams. For some years about two-thirds of the member colleges
8 Association of American Colleges have had summer ses-
sions. The length of these sessions has varied from six to twelve
weeks in length.

Wanted
Stenographers
The Government needs
stenographers for National de-
fense. One is prone to think of
National defense in terms of
soldiers, sailors and marines.
But there are many tvpes of de-
fense work behind the lines. A
large army of civilian person-
nel is now on duty as stenog-
raphers in the Government ser-
vice to take the dictation of the
thousands of executives and
administrative officers, and
transcribe it into typewritten
documents. Some of this ma-
terial is of lasting importance.
Some of it will set into motion
Government events of historical
consequence.
It is estimated that the Gov-
ernment has approximated
Ho.000 stenographers, typists
and secretaries on the payroll.
Many young men and women
are responding to the call.
Thousands more are needed.
