In view of the satisfactory
terms agreed on by i college
authorities and the theatJer com-
pany from which the college re-
ceives its motion pictures, the
two weeks boycott on local
theaters was lifted by unanim-
ous vote of the student body
last night in mass meeting.
The boycott had been estab-
lished on Friday, April 24 in a
student mass meeting until
satisfactory terms had been
agreed on. An agreement was
reached yesterday morning in
a conference of College authori-
ties and representatives from
the Charlotte booking agent.
The trouble started some two
months ago when the college,
through no fault of its own,
showed a motion picture which
had not had its second run at
the local theaters. The picture
had been chosen from a list sent
to the college entertainment
committee by the Charlotte
booking agent, whose duty it
was to check the pictures book-
ed by the local theaters before
sending a list to the college.
In view of the fact that the
local management apparently
reported the mistake to the
company without stating that
the college was not in error, that
later letters written to the com-
pany notifying them that it was
'heir mistake rather than that
of the college were ignored, and
finally that because of the mis-
take the college was prohibited
from obtaining good pictures

a dime each month to be used
for the buying of War Savings
Bonds. At the time of maturity,
the money from these bonds is

to collect the dimes and the 20th

at Pledge Day, at which time
students could contribute their
dimes. A very carefully decora-

in the coupon at the end and re-

Dear Miss Horne:
The Council Against Intoler-

to the War Department that a!

created equal.
The formation of such a Di-
vision would do much to offset
the danger to national morale
inherent in the policy of segre-
gation and would be of the
greatest value in creating that
national unity which is essential
for victory. Moreover, the for-
mation of such a Mixed Di-
vision would have

they discussed the program pre-

The response was satisfactory

The Greatest Air Army in the World
Needs Flight and Ground Crew Officers
N0W.F0R COLLEGE MEN.A
OFFICERS' TRAINING PLAN
� New Deferred Service Plan Allows You to Continue Your Education �
In the skies over America the might-
iest air fleet in the history of the
world is mobilizing for victory!
So fast is it growing that there is a
place here � an urgent need here �
for every college man in America who
can qualify for Officer's Training.
The L. S. Army Air Forces need
Flying Officers and Ground Crew
Officers. And many of them must
come from the ranks of today's col-
lege students � men who make their
plans now for the necessary Aviation
Cadet training.
Thanks to a newly created Air
Force Reserve plan, men of all classes
� aged 18 to 26, inclusive � can en-
list for immediate service or continue
the scholastic work required for
graduation before being called to
active duty.
You must meet the requirementa
for physical fitness, of course. In
addition, you take a new simplified
teat to determine your ability to grasp
the training. A college man should
pass it easily.
$75 A MONTH DURING
TRAINING
Those accepted who wish immediate
duty will go into training as rapidly
as facilities permit. As an Aviation
Cadet, you are paid $75 a month,
with subsistence, quarters, medical
care, uniforms, equipment.
In 8 months you can win an offi-
cer's commission as a bombardier,
navigator or pilot � and be well
started on your way to serve America
and advance yourself in aviation.
Three Enlistment Plans
for College Men
Juniors�Sophomores�Freshmen
May Continue Their Education
1. A new plan allows Juniors,
Sophomores and Freshmen, aged
18 to 26, inclusive, to enlist in the
Air Force Enlisted Reserve and
continue their schooling, pro-
vided they maintain satisfactory
scholastic standings.
All College Men May Enlist
for Immediate Service
2. All college students may enlist
as privates in the Army Air Forces
(unassigned) and serve there un-
til their turns come for Aviation
Cadet training.
3. AH college students may enlist
in the Air Force Enlisted Reserve
and wait until ordered to report
for Aviation Cadet training.
Upon graduation or withdrawal
from college, men will be assigned
to active duty at a training center
as facilities become available.
If the necessity of war demands,
the deferred status in the Army
Reserve may be terminated at any
time by the Secretary of War.
L
T� ��w Army Air Force Enlisted He-
serve Wan l� port of an over-all 4rmy
tnliited Ueierve Corps program shortly
to bo announced. Tfcis program will
provide opportunities for college men
to oiillst lii other branches of the 4rmy
on a 4tUrr4 basit and to continue
their education through graduation It
a satisfactory standard of work Is
maMalnod. In cose of necessity the
Secretary of War shall determine when
they may bo called to active duty.
It Is understood that men so enlisted
will have the opportunity of competing
tar vacancies In officer's candidate
schools.
This plan hos bee approved In the
belief that continuance of education
will develop capacities for leadership,
rfteserve enlistment will not alter
regulations regarding established
Jt.O.T.C. plans.
MANY BRANCHES OF SERVICE
There are also commissions awarded
in ground crew service. College men
particularly will be interested in the
requirements for Armaments, Com-
munications, Engineering, Meteorol-
ogy, Photography. If you have engi-
neering experience your chances of
getting a commission are excellent.
As a Second Lieutenant on active
duty with the Army Air Forces, your
pay ranges from $183 to $245 a
month.
ACT AT ONCE
If you want to fight for America, this
is where your blows will count.
If you want the best training in the
world, and years oi solid achieve-
ment in aviation�the great career
field of the future � this is where

against rugged opposition and should improve enough to set
up one of the strongest college lines in the state before the next
campaign ends.
Looking back over our two years at ECTC we can recall
many pleasant incidents that can hardly be forgotten
The most thrilling? That's easy. Remember the High Point
basketball game in 1941? Wilson "Hank" Schuerholz left 700 fans
in hysterics when with Lo seconds to play he turned a three point
deficit into a 44-t victory for ECTC. The biggest upset? The
baseball team a turning back of the EJon last spring. The Chris-
tians had lost only to Duke the pas two years and wiley "Lefty"
Dunn handcuffed them for nine innings.
We won't forget, either. Stuart Tripp trying to open the door
of a .New ork subway Fat Rogerson. with one arm in a

Pirates Take Two
Wins From Braves
The East Carolina "Pirates"
I played host to the "Braves"
I from Wiliam and Mary (ND)
i here April 24 and 25, in a series
of two baseball games, but the
refreshments were rather bitter
j to the "Braves as they carri-
jed defeat both days; the first
day 10-8 for the Pirates and 20-
3 likewise the second day.
Remarkable improvement was
shown by the locals in both
j games. The fielding looked more
like the old swing for "Coach
John's" boys, and the batting
looked more like slaying the

Naval Apprentice
Defeated 7-4
This Week's
Outstanding Athlete
We arrived at the fight at the gong of the third and final
round 1 he tans were yelling madly as out from the corner
stalked the crouching figure of Charlie "Killer" Craven He
measured his opponent off with short jabs and the ensuing
j exchange of blows tor the next two minutes had the crowd
standing m their seats.
That was back in 1939 and the fact that Charlie lost the
j decision is unimportant. He fought gamelv with the look in
cognize in every football game
at ECTC for the past two years.
There is no better way to cha-
racterize Craven than to por-
jtray of his eager competitive
�spirit. He simply thrives on it.
Charlie was born in Ashe-
ville. X. C. some 22 years ago
land graduated from Lee H. Ed-
wards High. After a year at
j Brevard Junior College he fol-
lowed his coach to ECTC and
j immediately laid claim to the
i left end position on the grid
team. He won it without much
! argument and developed into one
j of the finest defensive linemen
on the squad. With his run-
j ning mate Chuck Mcfee, in 1940
: he formed one of the best pass-
ing combinations ever seen here, f � '�"�
his eys that we've grown to re-
Charlie was a boom to athletic circles here, for at last we
had an athlete who was literary minded. Craven aspires to
be a newspaperman and at the present is proof reader
tor a local daily. During pre-school football practice Charlie
could be found every night reading a huge volume on "The
Works of Broumng Majoring in English, he has adapted
himself to his work with the same zealous spirit that has car-
ried him through many grid campaigns.
Although he doesn't dance he is very musically minded and
bTnd St Poetically every major dance
For recreation Charlie likes to box. The dearth of comp-
etition on the campus has moved him no little and he has of-
fered his services to the school as a one man boxing team. No
matter how little he does he always keeps in shape. "You can
never tell when you'll need to be he says.
He likes to talk about his friends, chiefly, Bill Lucas, his
fellow townsman. "Now there's a boy he told us, "he under-
stands the greatest symphonies but watch his eyes closely some
time, 1 m afraid someday they're going to meet
Within the next three weeks Craven expects to get his
call to the army and his attitude about that is the same as that
undaunted spirit of his attitude about that is the same as that
j undaunted spirit of his that we culd talk about indefinitely
bo look out Mr. Jap, for Craven will be on "the firing line"
i soon throwing blicks all over Yokasuya!

In a hot. smeltering nine inn-
ings the dogging ECTC "Pir-
ates" downed the Naval Yard
Apprentices from Norfolk 7-4,
on Monday. May 4.
Charlie Futrell, who has been
holding sack number one down
this season for the Teachers, did
a fine piece of work on the
mound, allowing the Navals only
eight hits. Charlie's consistency
proved to be a puzzle for the
Navy ard, even though he was
relieved in the eighth by "Ace"
C-auldin.
Stuart Tripp, the man with
iron in his blood, slapped out
hree hits for four trips to the
bat. Futrell, Mayo, and Waters
w ere close behind with two for
four each.
The slugging "Pirates" again
went on a two day wi-ming
streak Thursday and Friday,
April 30 and May 1 by downing
the Presbyterian Junior Col-
lege baseball team 8 to 2 and 14
to 6.
The game on Thursday was
played at the Guy Smith Sta-
dium. Vern Kueternyer started
on the mound for the pirates
but had to call for help in the
second inning. Uick Gaulding
I came to the rescue and held the
IScottoes to six hits therest of
the game. Council started on the
; mound for the Scotties but was
iknocked out of the box in the
j fourth inning. He was relieved
I by Johnson who pitched good
j ball the rest of the game.
In the second engagement,
jAldrich hurled for the Profes-
sors and agin the number "10"
appeared for hits allowed. Reid
and Comer shared four and a
half innings each to allow the
i "Teachers" twelve hits.
In Thursday's game, Brandt
Waters, who has been playing
mighty good ball from his short-
stop position, grabbed four hits
for five times at the plate. Sisk
followed close behind with two
for three, and Bob Young, Nor-
man Mayo, and Captain Charles
Futrell snatched two for four.
Tournley. Harvin, and Stegall.
of P. J. C. managed to get two
hits for four trips to the plate.
In Friday's game, Futrelle
snatched three for six while
Mayo is looking like old form
again in his batting plus being
the "pep" of the infield.
; ECTC Coach Holds
Remarkable Record
Completing his second year
this spring as athletic coach at
E. C. T. C. is Coach John Chris-
tenbury began molding teams
that have for the last year sur-
passed anything in local athletic
history.
No team of his has ever fal-
len below the .500 mark. In
eighty major contests 53 games
were won and 27 lost. The
closest call came in the past
! basketball season, when half of
the games were dropped. So far
the current baseball nine is
I sporting a .500 average with
� five more fames to play.
"Coach John" as he is popu-
larly known to his athletes has
had to carry the entire burden
of the coaching staff and the re-
sults have been remarkable. His j
greatest team was the 1941 foot
ball machine which romped
through an undefeated season.
I That season was even more suc-
cessful from other standpoints
, Sweet revenge was gained by i
pasting W. C. T. C. 19-6. The
boys also spoiled "Jakie Todd
Day" at Erskine, broke the 5 j
i year jinks of Belmont Abbey's
home field and stopped Cold
Bergen College's three year all
winning streak.
With the indefinite status of
the war situation, Coach Chris-
tenbury is hesitant to speak of
prospects for next year by when
the war is over athletics here
will decidely reach new heights.
