The National Symphony Or-

Kindler. founder and guiding
genius of the Washington, 1).
C. symphony orchestra, will
present a concert in the Robert
If. Wright auditorium Wednes-
day night, March 4, at eight-1
thirty.
Since its beginning nine years
ayo, the National Symphony has
won a high position in the front
ranks of the major symphony
orchestras of the country, with
its musical excellence and
technical competence.
The orchestra is heard in its
regular concerts in the Nation's
Capitol� at Constitution Hall
in winter, at the Potomac Wa-
ter Gate in summer by thous-
ands of visitors from all over
the world and from every sec-
tion of the United States.
During its second year, the
group made its first tour, and
each year since then it has em-
barked upon increasingly am-
bitious tours�in Canada and
scores of cities of the East,
South and Middle West. In
many cities it has been re-en-
gaged year after year until, to
the residents of these cities,
the National Symphony Or- ported
chestra has become their or-
chestra, just as much as it is
the orchestra of the people in
Washington.
Among the special marks of
recognition which have come to
the National Symphony are two
invitations to give special con-
certs at the White House. The
two most recent presidential
inaugurations have included
concerts by the National Sym-
phony.
After winning fame as a
prodigy in Europe, he came to
America when he was twenty-
one to take the post of first
'celloist in the Philadelphia Or-
chestra under Stokowski. Later
he resigned to tour this coun-
try, Europe, and the Orient and
to appear as soloist with all the
great orchestras and played
with Caruso, Rachmanioff and
other artists.
In 1931 Hans Kindler re-
nounced his concert appearances
to found the famous National
Symphony.
To accommodate the eighty
players, the stage in the Wright
Auditorium will be enlarged ten
feet all around.
The Chi Pi Players will pre-
sent Th Dolts House, modern
drama. February 26 and 27 at
8:30 in Austin Auditorium.
Tin Doll's House was written
by Henrick Ibsen, a Norwegian,
who is considered one of our
outstanding modern dramatists.
The cast for this production is
made up of students and faculty
members.
The part of Torvald Helmer
is played by Mr. Denton Rossell
of the Music Department. Ruth
Bray plays the part of Nora
Helmer. his wife. Dr. M. M.
Posey of the English Depart-
ment has the role of Dr. Rand.
Mr. Dick Walser. president of

Association and a teacher at
Greenville High School, plays
the part of Kragstad, Mrs.

Intercollegiate
Debate Held Here
j-
Representatives of Campbell
College and ECTC clashed in
two debates here Monday, Feb-
ruary 9, this being the first
time in the history of the school
that students from another col-
lege or university have appear-
ed on our campus for a formal
debate. The popular college
question, stating that the fed-
eral government should regulate
all labor unions, was used. In
the afternoon, our affirmative
team, composed of Mary Gas-
kins and Doris Williams, met
Campbell's negative team. Mae
Hall and Marshall Weaver. In
the evening. Carlyle Cox and
Mildred Beverly of ECTC sup-
the negative against
Ruth Hocutt and
Elliot Stuart. The debates were
non-decision.
Several students and members
of the faculty have expressed
the opinion that they were
pleased with the initial effort
and hoped that the work will
be continued and constantly im-
proved. According to Teco Echo
files and members of the fac-
ulty who have worked with the
college News Bureau for many
years, this is the first intercol-
legiate debate ever to be held
here.
by Jennings Bollard
In a recent poll of opinion
conducted on the campus, one
hundred students answered the
following question personally:
Would you he interested in tak-
ing n three-hour course in Ad-
vanced Speech if it irere offer-
ed? A surprisingly large num-
ber of them, thirty-four per
cent, replied in the affirmative.
Students were questioned at
random on the campus�be-
tween classes, in the dininjr hall,
at the nost office, in the "Y"
store. Because of the varied in-
terests of students, it seems
reasonable to state that prob-
ably there are few courses now
offered on the campus, other
than the courses required of all
students, which would interest
more than thirty-four in a hun-
dred students selected at
random.
A separate survey revealed
that fourteen students in an
oral English class of twenty-
one members would like ad-
vanced work. This group was
not counted as a part of the
cross section of one hundred
students since the percentage
of interest was expected to be
higher among a group already
working in speech.
Many of the students were
not content to answer simply,
yes or no. Some typical com-
ments were: "A course in Ad-
vanced Speech is something
that we really do need "We
should have had it a long time
ago "We need a complete
Speech Department "In a
teacher's college they certainly
ought to offer something like
that "There should be a whole
vear of work in speech for stu-
dents who want it "That would
be a yrood thing . . just what
I want Some of those who
stated that they were not in-
terested in taking such a course
volunteered the opinion that it
should be offered for those who
are interested. Several seniors
informed us that it was too late
for them to get Advanced
Sneech into their schedules but
indicated that they would have
taken it if it had been offered.

Tomorrow night the Campus
building will be the scene of an

by the Varsity Club at which
time they will present the 1942
Varsity Club Sweetheart, who
is as yet unannounced.
In previous years the Varsity
Club Sweetheart has been pre-
sented at the Annual Varsity
Club play.
This is the third year that
the Varsity Club has had a
snonsor, the first being Jean
Wendt of Wilmington, N. C,
and the second was Frances
Roebuck of Washington. N. C.

the winner but it was a very

Two Sides
In the last issue of Green Lights, Greenville High School
newspaper, there appeared the following editorial.
"Problem; How To Date Your Best Gal Legally:
"Seven Greenville high school boys who attended dances at
East Carolina Teachers College are in trouble because of a rule
forbidding high school students to attend ECTC social events.
If a high school students dates or dances with a college student
who will probably practice teach him at sometime, the presum-
able result is that the high school student will not respect his
teacher as he should.
"Although it is imperative to have a rule of some kind con-
trolling such associations, it seems unnecessary to forbid high
school seniors to date college freshmen who will never teach
them. In many cases. GHS students have friends at ECTC whom
they have met at beaches, in homes and at conventions in previous
years.
"To forbid friendly associations between these two groups
seems altogether artificial; certainly it encourage rule-breaking
and many secretive rendez-vous.
"College oficials might do well to attack this problem with
their combined intelligence and find a more wholesome manner
in which to cope with this problem
We are not going to argue the point with you but we'd like
to try to show you the other side. Unfortunately or fortunately,
for you. you have never had to do practice teaching in the Green-
ville High School. Under any circumstances, doing practice teach-
ing is no picnic and it certainly doesn't help any when you know
the students so well that they call you by your first name and
feel that since they know the teacher they can do as they please.
I know, bcause I taught under those circumstances, having been
a student and practice teacher at Greenville High School. We
think you understand that part of the situation.
However you say that "it seem unnecessary to forbid high
school seniors from dating college freshman Well maybe its not
necessary, but . . you just try telling upper classmen that fresh-
men have dating privileges that they don't. Sounds silly doesn't
it? It is. Sad as it may be college students are just as foolish
about somethings as high school students are about others.
So you see, if the ruling forbidding local high school students
to date ECTC students was removed, an even more unpleasant
situation than now exists would result. And after all, its just as
unpleasant for ECTC students as it is for high school students.
TOMORROW MAY BE TOO LATE
For Cigarettes Or Bombs,
Who Knows? We Don,t!
Service Men
Are You One Of These People?
For sometime now there has been a heartfelt need on this
campus for some means of developing the public speaking ability
of a good majority of the student body. Well you have the means.
Yes, you have any number of means but the trouble is you don't
really care enough about knowing how to speak well and force-
fully, to bother about taking advantage of your opportunities.
To be quite frank, you're so indifferent you don't give a damn
about public speaking or many other things for that matter.
Maybe you say you've had a course in oral English or some
such subject but you still aren't a competent, able speaker. Well
no matter how many courses you take in public speaking, you'll
never learn how to speak well in public until you actually do it.
And there are plenty of opportunities right here on the campus
for you to get some practice.
One of the best opportunities to supplement your oral Eng-
lish courses is to join the College Forensic Club, a very new and
very up-and-coming group of orators. Through the Forensic
Club you will be able to get as much practice as you like in form-
al and informal debating.
Then there is another opportunity provided for you to ex-
cise your powers of speech� and a sadly neglected one at that.
Once every month there is a student mass meeting held on the
campus, the original purpose of this meeting having been to
give students a chance to air student problems. Well if you've
ever attended an ECTC mass meeting, then you know just about
how many opinion were expressed�well or otherwise.
Why is it that students sit and say nothing when their
rights and privileges as students are at stake?
Why is it that they go to conferences and conventions and
sit in silence through discussion groups? Why is it that students
act like animals stricken dumb when they even make a Chanel
talk.
This is why. You just don't know how. The reason you
don't know how, is that you don't have what it takes to learn
how. You don't care enough about your privileges to even try to
defend them. You don't even care enough to be embarrassed
when students from other colleges put you to shame in discussion
groups. You haven't got the self-respect and pride of a dumb
animal.
So if you're one of those people that goes around complain-
ing about not knowing how to speak in public, just dig up enough
self-respect to try the Forensic Club or the Oral English classes.
They'll welcome you and you certainly need their help.
And again�you can practice at mass meetings�if you've
got the nerve.

things as it does, that result in favorable advertising for the
school. For example, the Christmas Pageant. Easter Pageant
Wuthering Heights, and Little Black Sambo. These have excited
favorable comments from the whole of East Carolina. So why
not let others enjoy these shows, bv sending them out to other

that I must be slightly off the beam, talking about spring in the

romances budding and some of the older ones bust in' up.
Sarah Thompson and Billv Fowler, "Mickel" Boyette and

In a rough and tumble fracas
Tuesday night the rejuvenated
Pirates made it three in a row-
by swamping William and
Mary's outclassed cagers by the
score of 56 to 29 in the college1
gym.
The Norfolk team was liter
ally swept off its feet by the'
scintillating play of the Bucs
who lately, seem to get better,
every game.
Boh Young continued his
fine play of recent games by
contributing eleven p oi n t s.
Others standing out were Wat-
son who topped both teams
with 15 points and Jack Young,
runner up with 12.
The first half was fairly
close and William and Mary
threatened constantly but the
closest they could get was a 11-
15 count shortly before inter-
mission. In the second half an
avalanche of ECTC baskets
doubled the score and put the
game safely away.
It took W & M eight minutes
to pierce the Pirate' defense in'
the last half and they could
only earner 4 field goals. Lead-j
The Pirates were really on
Thursday night. February 12.
and the luckless Norfolk Naval
Hospital quint bore evidence of
it as they were set back 45-32.
The shot in the arm was
"Rapid Bob" Young as he rang
up four field goals in the first
half and stood out with a fine
all around performance.
Dopey Watson was high
scorer for the night with 14
points, followed by Jack Young
who made nine points.
The Bucs displayed a dazzling
pasing attack and reminded
fans of last year's high scoring
"point a minute" boys. In the
last three minutes they connect-
ed with six field goals while
holding the gobs to a single con-
verted free throw
gesture will be David Watson,
towering forward, who will
receive his A. B. degree at the
end of this quarter. Dopey has
been the mainstay of the Pir-
ate cagers all season and Coach
John is relying on him to spark
his mates into a final victory.
The Bucs are riding the
crest of a three-game winning
streak, scoring recent wins
over E. M. I Norfolk Naval
Hospital and William and
Mary (ND).
The visitors from the smoky
city received a jolting welcome
here last year when Roberts,
Peterson and Company polished
them off very decisively. How-
ever the Wesinghouse boys are
reported 3tronger this season
and will be out to avenge last
year's defeat.
Coach John will start his
veteran team of Watson and
Mann forwards. Jack Young
center, and Brown and Bob
Young at the guard posts. This
combination has looked very
good in the latest Buc winning
spree and will give a good ac-

Members of the Goldsboro
chapter of the E. C. T. C. alum-
ni Association met at the home
of Mrs. Marshall Helms (Mil-
dred Sasser) on Mondav eve-
ning. February 9, at 8:00 p. m.
During the business hour alum-
ni decided upon a candidate to
be submitted as their choice for
the 1942 symbolic alumni
award. Plans for both the Feb-
ruary and March meetings were
discussed. The February project
is aiding in defense and Red
Cross work. For the March I
meeting, plans are being made!
for a St. Patrick's Day pro-
gram. Miss Bessie Anderson, a
recent member of the high
school faculty, was welcomed
by the group.
The hostess served delicious
refreshments during which
time everyone enjoyed playing
"Dice Hearts
is that back on their campuses
they are familiar with and take
part in discussion groups. They
choose a topic for discussion,
read the references they can
find on the subject, then, under
the leadership -of a student or
a faculty member they talk
over and ask questions about
what they have read.
There is no reason why we
should not adopt so benefical a
practice here at E. C. T. C. The
library is full of good refer-
ences; there are those on the
faculty and among the students
who would make excellent lead-
ers. The topics at our command
are as varied as our interests
and this changing world.
The Y. W. C. A. has resolved
to take initial steps in what it
is hoped will grow into vital
discussion groups open to every
interested student on the cam-
pus. On Sunday evening, Feb-
ruary 21, after Vespers a group
is planning to assemble with
Miss Lois Grigsby in her home
for the first meeting of this
kind. The central theme of the
discussion will be "Peace in a
world at Wear This will be
an experiment. If it is success-
ful and enough students show
an interest, other meetings will
be scheduled.
The Y asks one-hundred per
cent support from the students
and faculty in this new en-
deavor.

For a long time the YWCA
has seen the need or discussion
groups here on the campus. The
need becomes outstandingly
evident when the students of
this college attend conferences.
Important features of most
conferences are discussion
groups and open forums. When
dropped in the midst of one of
these, the average E C. T. C
students feel distinctly out-of-
place. About all they know to
do is sit in open-mouthed a-
mazement while the represent-
atives of other colleges take
part in the discussion and ask
intelligent questions.
It is not that those students
are any more capable than ours.
.Neither does their knowledge
come to them by any kind of
hocuspocus magic. The secret

ing the proposed course, how-
ever we do know that forty-
eight students on the campus

'em We know too that this is
one problem that can not be
dismissed with the familiar
statement. "The students at
ECTC just aren't interested in
that Any weaknesses in this
department must be attributed
to faculty organization and im-
proper direction of interest,
rather than to a lack of in-
terest. If you doubt that there
is a weakness in speech here,
read the story of the ECTC-
Campbell debate on the front
natre of this issue of the Teco
Echo, and you will see that it
was the first intercollegiate de-
bate ever to be held on this
campus. If that dos not con-
vince you. talk to our director
of plays who has had extensive
experience in working with
new talent. If you are still not
satisfied. gr down to the high
school and note the difficulty
some practice teachers have in
talkintr to a small group of hteh
school pupils. Why, some of the
students here at the college
dread practice teaching next to
dving.
Even a quick study of the
methods used in other colleges
in North Carolina, for example,
reveals the fact that nearly
every one of them that is even
attempting to do anything in
forenrfics or dramatics, not to
mention teacher training, has
snecilaized courses in speech.
Students who worked in forens-
ics and dramatics in high school
hestitate to take part in these
activities in college without
further training. If there is
little opportunity for such
training in the class room, the
entire problem is left to the
coaches and the directors. To
add that much outside work to
the student who already has a
full load of class work' and to
the director or coach who is re-
sponsible for a production on
schedule, creates a very diffi-
cult situation.
One course in speech, or even
six courses, would not solve the
nroblem at ECTC entirely.
There are other factors. But if
the example of other colleges
and the difficulties considered
at ECTC can be relied upon as
accurate measures, then ad-
vanced courses in speech would
do more than anything else to
remedy this deplorable condi-
tion.
