"The United Nations should
win the war in Europe in two
more years declared H. V.
Kaltenborn in his lecture in
Wright Auditorium last Wed-
nesday night. He also expressed
the opinion that it would prob-
ably take a year longer to lick
the Japs than it will to end the
war with the Nazis. Mr. Kalten-
born stressed the importance of
the next few weeks in the battle
for strategic positions in Ger-
man occupied Russia. If the
Russians can recapture key
points such as Smolenisk, then
the coming German offensive
might be blocked. This famous
radio commentator felt sure
that Hitler did not have enough
resources to fight on two major
fronts, thus 'the importance of
a new front in Europe. With
his extensive background and
knowledge of the peoples of
Europe, he felt sure that Italy
would be the place to launch
such a drive because he thought
the people of Italy were more
nearly ready for a revolution
which would throw out the
dictators for good.
Mr. Kaltenborn has met Hit-
ler and Mussolini, and his de-
scription of the dictators was
unique. Mussolini is more near-
ly a "human dictator" than is
Hitler. Mussolini likes sports,
languages, drinks, and knows
something of foreign culture.
Hitler is, according to our com-
mentator, very narrow, limited
and completely dominated by
his emotions.
"For the first time in the past
seven years due to the present
world crisis, East Carolina
Teachers College will not have
its annual High School Day
stated Dr. Carl Adams, psycho-
logy instructor and former
chairman of the High School
Day Committee.
As the government has been
insisting upon the cooperation
of every institution as well as
the citizens in the rationing of
gas and tires, the committee has
decided to suspend the High
School Program for 1942 only,
since it would take hundreds of
gallons of gasoline and a great
deal of wear on tires to trans-
port such a large number of
high school students to this
institution.
In previous years the high
schools have responded enthus-
iastically to this program. Last
year 3.274 high school seniors
attended this event.
The program usually consisted
of Registration and an address
by President Meadows in the
mornings followed by a barbe-
cue luncheon on back campus.
The afternoon program fea-
tured a movie, baseball game,
tennis games, and dancing in
the Wright Building.
There was also a musical pro-
gram presented by bands of the
various high schools who also
played for the parade led by the
presidents of the Men's and
Women's Student Government
Associations.
According to Dr. Adams, this
suspension is for one year only.
Even though the size of the
student body is to be somewhat
below normal for the spring
quarter, enrollment at this col-
Glen Island Casino and that's lege has been affected less so

Senior Activities
In a recent interview with
Ida Ruth Knowles, president of
the senior class, concerning the
activities of the class. Ida Ruth
stated that Vivacious Lady had
been selected for the senior
play for 1942. The play will be
directed by Clifton Britton and
frv-outs will be held some time
next week. At the time of the
interview, no definite date had
been set, however, Ida Ruth
stated that a notice concerning
the try-outs would be placed on
the bulletin board.
Seniors who wish to order
graduation invitations are ask-
ed to place their orders at the
college stationery store. Ida
Ruth said that no deposit
would be required and that all
students who have not been
measured for their caps and
gowns should do so at once in
the stationery store also.

Miss Ernest used as her
theme "Going into the Deep
with Jesus" and opened her
talk by calling to mind an inci-
dent m the life of Jesus
when he was pressed by the
crowd waiting to hear his
teachings, he borrowed a boat
from Simon Peter and, push-

taught the crowd from there.

need among college students is
to think and to think creative-
ly. We need to be open-minded.
There is no danger in open-
minded attitudes if Christ is
there. The mind is at its high-

Christ
The second challenge offered
bv the speaker was to go into
the depth of living with Christ.

will not be affected by this plan.
It will go into effect next Sep-
tember and all students whether
thev have attended ECTC pre-
viously or not will be required
to meet these standards.
The plan as it will appear in
the new catalogue is as follows:
Grades And Scholarship
A quality point system is
used to calculate student schol-
arship standing. The grades 1,
2, 3, 4, 5, and C are used; in
which "1" is the highest grade
given, "4" the lowest passing
grade, and "5" is a failing
grade. A grade of "C" indicates
an incomplete or condition on a
course.
The grade "1" gives 3 quality
points a quarter hour for each
course so marked; the grade "2"
j gives two quality points a quar-
ter hour for each course so
marked; the grade '3" gives one
quality point a quarter hour for
each course so marked; the
grade "4" gives no quality
ooints; and the grade "5" de-
ducts one quality point a quar-
ter hour for each course so
marked.
When a student fails to main-
tain the minimum quality of
scholarship indicated below, he
shall be ineligible to re-register
in the college:
(a) at the end of the first
vear (3 quarters)�35 quarters
hours of credit and 30 quality
points.
(b) at the end of the second
year (6 quarters)�85 quarter

Credit Where Credit Is Due
Those of you who were here last year will remember the
adverse criticism made about the college entertainments and the
committee responsible for securing them. The criticisms were
something like this. "Oh goodness. We're going to have some more
of that grand opera junk. I'm getting sick and tired of it. That's
all we have That sort of criticism was heard constantly from
the students whenever they gathered together and often through
the columns of this paper.
We don't hear those statements anymore. This vear the en-
tertainment committee has presented to the student'body a pro-
gram that seems to have pleased a student body whose interests
are many and varied and they deserve plenty of credit for their
efforts and the success they have achieved.
All those who talked so much about the entertainments last
year, would do well to raise their voices and praise those respon-
sible for our entertainments this year. Thev have certainlv given
you the variety of programs that you asked for.
First of all ve had Lansing Hatfield. Metropolitan tenor.
Then came Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, as prominent a speaker as
one could ask for. The Don Cossack Chorus, a group of male
singers and dancers, who according to every report, please their
audience, was the next entertainment. Next we had the Svmphony
Trio, which strangely enough, is the onlv entertainment that we
have heard criticized. Last year students said thev didn't want
programs of classical music because they couldn't understand
them. Yet when they are presented a program of semi-classical
music that they are familiar with, they didn't like it. However the
students wanted it, so the entertainment committee got it for
them.
Most recently they presented a type of entertainment that
has never been presented on this campus before. . . The National
Symphony Orchestra of Washington. D. C.
Finally this quarter, the students are to have exactly the
type of entertainment that they wantpopular dance or-
chestra. They have been "yelling" for such a program for vears.
�Now they are going to have it. Ending the year's entertainment
program will be a concert by Helen Jepson, Metropolitan opera
star.
We're proud of our entertainment committee for their ef-
forts and apparent success in pleasing the student bodv. We feel
that all of those students who have enjoyed the concerts this
vear should congratulate the committee on its work.
30 and continues through Satur
dav, April 4. These meetings
will be held in the "Y" hut
from 1:30 P. M. to 1:45 P.M.
They will begin and close on
time in order that students who
have afternoon classes may at-
tend. Through these meditation
periods an effort is being made
to help prepare us for the ob-
servance of Easter.
Miss Jimmie Woodward,
YWCA secretary ot the Uni-
versity of North Carolina, was
on the campus this past Friday
afternoon, Saturday and Sun-
day morning. At 4:00 P.M. Fri-
day the guest met with the "Y"
cabinet and together they talk-
ed over problems that confront
the cabinet. Miss Woodward
was speaker at the Vesper Ser-
vice Friday evening. From
10:30 Saturdav morning until
12:30 P. M. Miss Woodward
held open house in the "Y"
reading room. A number of
students dropped in to chat. All
were impressed with her en-
thusiasm and bv her knowledge
of "Y" work. She doesn't be-
lieve in being idle, and as she
talked to the interested students
she was busy sewing. A tea was
given in honor of the visitor in
the "Y" hut Saturday after-
noon.
Miss Woodward is an advo-
cate of discussion groups. "The
important thing she said, "is
to stop talking about having
them and start doing something
about it She thinks it would
be a good idea to substitute a
discussion group every other
Friday evening in place of the
Vesper Service.
Rehearsals for the Easter
pageant are in progress. The
pageant has been somewhat re-
vised, and it is expected to be

There are some facts for

When a week-end is referred to
in this Handbook it must be
construed as meaning the time
intervening between the last
c ass of one week and the first

Since the foregoing regula-
tion would affect only dormitory
students, it was, therefore,
necessary, in fairness to dormi-
tory students, for the faculty
and administration to take some
action to control the absences of
day students. The regulation
that all absences on Piday,
Saturday and Monday (and at
a, ,date Tuesday was in-
cluded) be considered as double
absences unless due to an emer-
gency or representation of the
college or college activity.
The removal of the regulation
in Article IV, Section 8, of the
College Regulations, will have
to be done by the School Coun-
cil, which is scheduled to meet
once each quarter and which is
composed of the President of
the College as chairman, the

How soon should one dis-
cover that he can not emulate
the cow in the Mother Goose
'ingle bv jumping over the
moon? Or how long should one
fritter away time and money
on a task before settling down
to putting his best efforts into
it? You will notice that what
seems to be ample allowance is
made for getting adjusted by
setting the figures well below
the average number of credits
and quality points earned by
students in a given period of
time. During the first year it
is about three fourths of the
normal. And the standard is
progressive, as it should be, but
by the beginning of the third
(junior) year the student must
have and maintain at least as
many quality points as he has
quarter hours earned. So�don't
play around too much, or sleep
through classes, or go off on
many "weak" ends if you have
a real burning desire, backed
by sizeable amounts of gray
matter, for a college degree.

Baseball Schedule
The tire shortage is playing
havoc with practically every
collegiate baseball schedule in
the state. So it can be of no
great surprise that six games in
the Pirate spring schedule have
been cancelled. Take for in
stance. Duke University's inter-
collegiate schedule. For the first
time in years only one out of
conference team will be met.
Cornell's visiting nine will
furnish the opposition in that
case and all of the rest of the
games will be with conference
foes.
The University of Tennessee
has dropped its entire baseball
schedule due to the lack of
diamond material and many
other smaller schools are fol-
lowing suit.
Whatever may be the case
ECTC will have a darn good
baseball team this spring
if the pitching holds up. The
greatest interest will be in the
three games scheduled during
April with the Bucs' Arch rival
Atlantic Christian College. At
stake will be the Bohunk bucket
and Coach John is already lay-
ing plans to snare that last
game which will be played on
the local field.
To fill up the break in the
schedule left vacant by several
colleges canceling engagements.
Coach John is contacting six
service teams to replace them.
Games with these teams are
almost assured and they will
round out approximately a 20
game schedule. Most of the
games will be played at home.
The schedule was purposely ar-
ranged this way in order to
gain greater student support.
Last spring's attendance at local
games was the poorest in many
years, even with a fine team to
back and it is hoped that the
greater number of home games
will awaken the students en-
thusiasm.

First round matches have
already been arranged for Doug
Glover, Norman Wilkerson,
Everett Hudson, Doug Jones,
Keith Hudson, Russell Roger-
son, Bill Gaddy and Sidney

It will be quite a task to build
up as formidable a team as the
racquet weilders of last spring.
Most recent loss was Dopey
Watson. He graduated last
quarter, bringing the loss of
seeded Varsity players to four.
However, very few colleges will
boast as good a tennis squad as
they had last year and the job
of coping with outside competi-
tion may not be too huge a one.
If any Eastern squads are on
a trip through this section there
is a strong possibility that they
may be engaged for a match
here.
The Varsity Courts will be
in the finest shape ever and
there is little of an overcrowd-
iness. Then ten courts beyond
the training school will be in
nlaying condition the first part
of next week. Also ready for
use will be the three courts in
the back campus.
As yet no schedule has been
arranged. According to recent
reports the team is trying to
secure games with State Fresh-
man, the Citadel, and Clemson.

At a cabinet meeting Tues-
day evening, March 24, the
W. A. A. planned a vigorous
program in athletics for the
spring quarter. Soft ball prac-
tice under the direction of
Esther Parker is scheduled for
Monday, Wednesday, and Fri-
day afternoons from 4:30 until
5:30.
Students interested in tennis,
archery, and individual sports
should sign up for these activi-
ties as soon as a schedule is ar-
ranged. Head of tennis is Grace
Westbrook; head of archery,
Audrey Stanley; head of indi-
vidual sports, Savonne Mat-
thews.
With the coming of spring,
hiking will be emphasized. Ad-
minta Eure, head of hiking, ad-
vocates more and longer hikes
for W. A. A. members.
Plans were also discussed for
the annual beach trips the
W. A. A. sponsors every spring
auarter. The third week end in
May was suggested as the most
convenient time for the outing.
Louise Lindsay together with
Miss Parks will serve on the
transportation committee. Delia
Strickland was appointed head
of the menu committee
Physical Fitness
Program To Help
National Defense
At a meeting of all physical
education instructors, it was de-
cided to revise the recreational
activity courses and thus be in
better accord with national de-
fense programs existing over a
nation wide area.
O. A. Hankner head of the
physical education department
announced plans to encourage
the physical fitness of all stu-
dents participating in the phys-
ical education department. Set-
ting up exercises will precede
tennis, softball, soccer, baseball
and all other activity classes.
It is argued that a person
needs physical activity to
maintain mental stability. Mr.
Hankner cited instances when
football players acknowledged
that their grades fell somewhat
during tKe off season if they
engaged in little activity.
This is true in any number
of cases. Bob Young, versatile
athlete says, "When I'm not
playing some sport, or at least
taking a lot of exercise, I can't
do my school work as efficient-
ly as otherwise. It gives one a
dull, lazy, feeling to do nothing
but hide the time away
If full cooperation is received
a vigorous physical fitness pro-
gram will be pursued during
the quarter with the physical
education department in the
drivers seat.
When work is finally com-
pleted in the athletic field it
will go far toward affording
better facilities.
Duke Loses Coach
The Blue Devils of Duke Uni-
versity will be without the lead-
ership of Coach Wallace Wade
next fall as he is now a Major
in the United States Army.
News was recently released that
the Duke mentor has taken over
his duties at Fort Bragg.
Taking Mr. Wade's place as
head coach at Duke will be
Eddie Cameron, who placed the
Duke basketeers in first place
in the Southern Conference, and
champions of the conference for
the past season.
By Billy Greene
Well, the old baseball season
has rolled around again, and
things are looking good for the
Pirates in the line of material.
Twenty members have report-
ed for regular practice accord-
ing to Manager, "Dirty Bill"
Lucas, this group being made up
largely of newcomers. How-
ever, on the list from last
year's aggregation we find
Norman Mayo, an outfielder;
"Big Ray" Sisk, catcher; Wiley
Brown, outfielder; Sammy
Crandall, who served as a sec-
ond baseman and outfielder
last Spring; W. B. Harris, out-
fielder; and G. Jerome Butler,
catcher; and Bill Grant, pitch-
er. The newcomers to the
"Pirate" squad are: Richard
"Dick" Gauldin, Floyd Woody,
Brandt Waters, Stewart Tripp,
William Johnson, "Buddie"
Murray, Jim Little, Warren Al-
dridge, Vern Keutemeyer, Bill
Council, Bob "Pawnee" Young,
Osbourne Lewis, and "Bolo"
McLawhorn.
Just a few words about the
pitching staff. Coach Christen-
bury announces that he plans to
start "Dick" Gaulding in Satur-
day's engagement with Camp-
bell. Gaulding is a transfer from
Brevard Junior College, and he
made a fine record while at
Brevard. He won over three
fourths of his games pitched for
this college, and then in the
summer pitched for the "Tan-
ners a team in the Textile
League of Western North Caro-
lina. This team, by the way, won
the championship in 19 4 0,
Brother "Dick" pitching the en-
tire game.
The rest of the pitching staff
is made up of Vern Kuetemeyer,
Bill Council, and Warren Ald-
ridge. Vern has not pitched in
two or three years, but he's
looking mighty fine in practice,
and he should place the "Bucs"
on the winning end several
times this season. Bill Council,
a Freshman, pitched for Dur-
ham High School and piled up
a good record there. The fourth
pitcher. Warren Aldridge, is
also looking fine in practice. He
has plenty of steam and looks
like a winning pitcher.
Now for the schedule. War
conditions have, of course, put
a stop to athletics in several

If this regulation were to be
removed by the School Council,
the next step would be to recom-
mend that this identical regula-
tion be considered by the fac-
ulty and administration for re-
moval from its records.
In view of the foregoing
facts and in view of the opinion
prevalent among the students
that some check had to be
placed upon "wholesale" absen-
ces, this committee offers the
following plan for considera-
tion:
1. That the Student Body
recommend to the School Coun-

that Atricle IV, Section 8, of
