Designed to give 16 and year old youths facing military service an opportunity to obtain educational preparation which will be of practical benefit, the College for War Training will pen at the University of North Caroina on January 27. The program which will last from three to eighteen months, depending on the individual, is believed to be the first of its kind to be announced by any American university since the start of the war and, as such, is attracting national attention. Qualified high and prep school seniors may enroll in the War college provided they pass i a comprehensive entrance ex- amination. Such students must be in the academic top one- third of their class, must have a minimum of 12 credits or units toward graduation, and must be recommended by their school principal or head-mas- ter. The State Department of Public Instruction, in coopera- tion with the North Carolina College Conference, held exami- nations in high schools through- out the State on January 14 for students seeking admission to any college belonging to the State Conference. Students who did not take the test on that date may still be admitted by coming to Chapel Hill and tak- ing the examination here on or before January 27. A specialized curriculum stressing physical fitness, mili- tary training, and scientific and other essential courses has been adopted by the War col- lege.

Miss Stokes was a member of the staff at Pitt General Hospital and has also done private nursing in Greenville. Miss Stokes went in training and was graduated at the Martha Jefferson Hospital, Charlottsville, Virginia. When asked her favorite past time she replied, "Knit- ting and movies are my favorite times at the present. Before the war my favorite past time was riding She is very patriotic and wants to do her bit to aid her country. She has a person- ality which goes a long way in gaining the friendship of the students.

Or just show him what a "Carolina Moon" can really mean? Corporal Johnny Luttrell of Tennessee wasn't bashful at all in exclaiming "Gosh-darn!

As outsiders can see, now�"The Marines have landed and have the situa- tion well in hand By Harold Taylor For the first time in several years E. C. T. C. has less than a hundred boys enrolled and day by day this number is dwindling Over half of the hoys in school this quarter are in Army or Navy Reserves and the others are seventeen-year- olds who'll get to know more about LTncle Sam's forces in the near future, two of them being Eddie Jones and Ray Aber- nethy who will leave this week for the army. Some recent news from the V-7 boys who graduated here last quarter is that they didn't have a very ong Christmas holi- day. Jennings Ballard, Norman Mayo, and Jack Young found notices from the Navy telling them to report for training at the Naval Reserve School at Northwestern University at Chicago. Jennings writes that he is almost tired of fried chicken but he isn't complain- ing because there's a shortage of navy beans. The biggest sur- prise came when the boys dis- covered that Walter Rogers, an E. C. T. C. graduate of '41 who is a Chief Specialist in the Navy, was to be their drill mas- ter. Their advice to the boys in V-7 and V-l is to leave the girls alone for awhile and learn to study. Cpl. Howard Adams who was a junior here in '41 is entering a Forecasters School soon and after a six weeks course will be a tough staff sergeant. Pvt. Robert Miller of last year's un- defeated football team has j graduated from an aircraft I mechanics school in Louisiana and is ready for that all-star team of Uncle Sam's. Thai regular week-end visitor, Pvt. Walter Tucker, finished the same course at Goldsboro and is wondering where he'll spend this week-end. When speaking of furloughs don't forget Cpl. Bobby Hollar � somehow he gets one every so often and this time it's for fourteen days. Some of the boys are in the middle of the war zone and are putting up a real fight. Lt. Jimmy Dempsey, who excelled in basketball and tennis here two years ago, is credited with bringing a badly damaged fly- ing fortress back after a raid over Germany. In the Pacific war theatre Lt. (jg) John David Bridgers had some ex- citing adventures aboard the carrier Yorktown before it was Opera Date Set Chorus At Work Following a custom instituted when President Franklin D. Roosevelt became president, Greenville citizens will again sponsor tiie President's Birth- day Hall in the Robert H. Wrighl Auditorium tomorrow nigh. January 30, from nine until twelve o'clock. The dance will climax the March of Dimes Week and the proceeds from both will go to aid victims of infantile paraly- sis. This patriotic rally will be similar to the ones held previ- ously on President Roosevelt's birthday. Greenville citizens have been purchasing tickets all week for servicemen. Girls at the college are invited, and junior hostess- es at the local Service Center will be admitted by their hos- tess invitation. Boys from the college will have to purchase a ticket. Honoring America's most famous paralysis victim, this custom has become an annual event in most of the towns and cities in the country. According to Mr. W. W. Lee, Greenville business man and chairman of the committee for the dance, a very good or- chestra will furnish music for the ball. Other members of this committee are Mr. J. H. Rose, Superintendent of the Green- ville city schools and Mr. J. G. Clark, Greenvile business man. Members of the committee stress the fact that the motive of the dance is for everyone to have a good time. With the college presentation of "Martha" scheduled for February 26 and March 2, preparations are progressing well ahead of schedule. Those who are taking principal parts have been meeting with accom- panist Camille Jernigan and director Denton Rossell three and four times per week since the beginning of the school year to study and memorize their parts. The Women's chor- us, under the direction of Miss Gussie Kuykendall, have been rehearsaling daily for the past three weeks in preparation of the chorus music. Mr. A. L. Dittmer has been scheduling special rehearsals for the or- chestra so that they may pro- vide the overture and some of orchestral background for the opera. Grand opera performance by college students is an event that has never before been un- dertaken at East Carolina Teachers college and one that has seldom been achieved State And ECTC Clash In Debate college students in this coun- try. It is made possible by the unusual amount of vocal talent in the- school at the present time. Vocal demands of grand opera are so great that it gen- erally taxes the vocal resources of the professional singer and it is considered a remarkable achievement that college stu- dents can meet these demands. Jean Abeyounis will take the leading soprano role. Lorraine Pritchard will sing the mezzo- soprano part. Donald Perry is assigned the tenor role, and baritone parts will be taken by James White, Ingram Walters and W. B. Harris. Smaller parts in the opera will be taken by Mary Alice Charlton, Marie Walthall, Morris Flow, Eliza- beth Bridgers, Lucy Nell Smith and Mary Blane Justus. Miss Ellen Caldwell of the mathematics department is as- sisting with the staging of the See Opera on Page Four Four State college debaters will participate in a debate against an ECTC team in a direct clash debate Thursday, February 4, on the campus. Vin: the national query, the debate will be the establishing of a World Federation. Making the first meeting of the locai team with State col- lege, the debate will also be the first in which an East Carolina group has followed the direct clash. In accordance with the rules for this methods, the speeches will be much shorter and more numerous than in the usual debate. Only one issue may be discussed in a single speech, and each issue must be settled before another may be debated. Debate with the University of North Carolina has been tentatively scheduled for Feb- ruary 17. This debate, which will follow the usual rules, wa3 by .arranged at the request of the Carolina boys to give them "an opportunity to avenge" their defeat by the ECTC team at the Dixie Tournament dur ing the fall quarter.

One does not have to look very careful- ly to see that the Austin building is very old and isn't in too good repair on the in- side. The stairs and floors show age and useage. Paint has long vanished from them, and now bare boards stand. A small fire anywhere in the building would probably end in disaster. The Teco Echo staff room is a literal fire trap twenty eight days a month, be- cause it only gets cleaned up twice a month. Notices have been scattered about the room urging students to help keep the room clean, but evidently students think it is some kind of joke. Newspapers, which are left on the table for the day students, can be found in all four corners of the room, and in one large heap beneath the table. Cigarette buts form a pattern on the floor, and waste bas- kets contain layers of cigarette buts, paper, and burnt matches. So far all those matches and cigarettes have been extinguished be- fore thrown away, but it would take only one match one time to send all the paper in that room up in a blaze! A fire in the basement of Austin would spread through the building in a very few minutes. On several occasions visitors to the staff room and other rooms in Austin have commented that the building is a fire trap and would probably never pass a fire in- spection. Until something can be done to reasure the safety of the building it is up to every student to keep the rooms clean and com- paratively safe. It is a matter of students taking the safety of their lives into their own hands. Give A Dime � Help Others To Walk! Tomorrow ends the March of Dimes Week. This has been a drive for infantile paralysis. Students have had the opportun- ity to contribute dimes all week. Tomorrow night at the President's Ball an announce- ment will be made as to the amount con- ributed by the E. C. T. C. students. Those who have not contributed a dime, and those who wish to contribute more will have the chance for the rest of today and tomorrow morning. It may mean doing without a drink to- day, or a movie tonight, but everyone should be willing to make that small sacrifice so that others may walk again. Getting No Where - Fasti O. K. students�"speak now or forever hold your peace Plenty of noise can be heard from one end cf the campus to the other about the system around here, (and everyone knows what system), but when the chance comes to really do something about it�what happens? A lot of feelings get hurt, when personalities shouldn't come into it, and a lack of enthusiasm, knowledge or something is prevalent. Frankly it looks like a lack of guts! Think it over. It might prove well worth some time and effort, including the politness of staying through mass meetings! Here is a chance for you to have your say so. Turn in your suggestions, say what you think would improve the Student Gov- ernment. Offer your suggestions For heaven sakes! Stand on your own feet and get what you want for a change. Interesting Facts About Who's Who F At This column isn't exactly news to many students, but it is giving some credit to the Men's Student Government, which is long overdue. It is not something coltossal but it is a beginning of something which East Carolina Teachers college has needed for a long time. Recognizing the obvious fact that E. C. T. C. needed more boys, the MSGA began a campaign to get more advantages for the boys by getting more domitory space for them. A petition was drawn up and this year's council began to get student signa- tures on the appeal for more rooms in Rairsdale Hall for the boys. Of course many students thought it was a waste of time, but those boys were determined to pursue the appeal until some action was taken Ap- proximately 500 signatures were obtained by contacting individula students, or to ex- press it in another way, 12 feet of names were attached in scroll form to present to the Board of Trustees. Three delegates were then named for presentation of the petition, and on the last day of the spring quarter of last vear these three boys went before the board with a uromise of two minutes to present the appeal. However, the interest of the board was more than had been anticipa- ted and more than an hour was devoted to the discussion of the matter. The board was convinced that it was time for the men stu- dents to begin moving to quarters "above the ground and a committee was appoint- ed to investigate the possibilities and see what could be done. Since this work was done during the last days of last school year, the matter was revived early in the past fall quarter. The appeal was pursued until space for eleven boys was provided for in rooms on the east wing of Ragsdale that had formely been oc- cupied by cobwebs. This number may seem like a let down, but in proportion to the number of boys, it was a definite improve- ment. Those boys now have nice rooms and thev are "high enough up to see the cars pass by which is more than the boys in the basement can do. After the present crisis is over, E. C- T. C. will someday have more boys than it has today, and there will be dormitories for them to occupy. This will be a great day in the advancement of this college because, among other things, there is nothing that brings a college into the eyes of the public more than a large athletic program, and how are you going to have this without more boys? This is only ono example find it does not overlook the fact that E. C. T. C. I has done a wonderful job in the past in the field of athletics, but there is a shining star farther away which can be looked to and, with perserverance, reached. Marine's Poem The sun was shining, 'was a beautiful day. The girls on the campus all shouted, "Hey, Hey He felt as if he was walking on air; He knew not of a single care.

Poe Society Meeting Carolyn told the Poe members how the body and an outstanding student from Meredith college, was guest speaker at the regular Poe Society meeting, held Friday evening, January 24, 1943. Carolyn tlod the Poe members how the societies were organized on Meredith cam- pus and some of the work they are doing this year, their main objective being de- fense work. There have been parties held in honor of the service men instead of their usual parties for the members. Society members have been working with the Red Cross, rolling bandages, knitting sweaters, and in any other ways possible. Various members have helped the IISO in Raleigh, as hostesses. Meredith societies have had several speakers from various branches of the ser- vice. Two of the speakers were a WAVE and a man who has been in foreign service. A WAAC as scheduled to speak in February. Carolyn was very much impressed by the home economics and science depart- ments here, and marveled at the equipment. Stated Carolyn, "I think the faculty mem- bers and student body are friendlier than I have ever seen at a school this size Carolyn and Estelle Davis compared notes, and exchanged handbooks. She is very proud of the student government at Mere- dith and explained how nicely their honor system worked. Carolyn spent the week-end with Ann Poythress, president of the Poe Society. She said she felt as if she could carry some ideas back to Meredith, after her visit here. At a meeting in November of the Fra- ternity Secretaries, the editor of WHO S WHO AMONG STUDENTS IN AMERI- CAN UNIVERSITIES AND COLLEGES had a display of material, and was allowed a part on their program. The Fraternity magazines have given this publication a great deal of publicity in the past two years; and, in order for the secretaries to under- stand the full workings and purpose, this material was made available for their ex- amination. It was very gratifying to find out their interest in this work. Below are a few' facts that might be in- teresting for those who were not at the meeting: 1. WHO'S WHO AMONG STUDENTS IN AMERICAN UNIVERSITIES AND COLLEGES has been published annually since 1934 (this vear is the ninth year). It now enjoys the cooperation of 687 colleges. 2. The purpose is two-fold: First, to serve as an honor for students devoid of all fees and dues. Second, to establish a refer- ence volume of authorative information on the great body of America's leading college students to be used by the Personnel Man- agers of companies who annually recruit college graduates. 3. There has never been a charge of any kind for a student's biography to be listed; nor is the fact that a student does, or does not, buy a book, taken into consider- ation when bringing the students before Personnel Managers. This is the only na- tional means of recognition for a student which is void of all fees and dues and at the same time renders a service. There were approximately 7,700 biographies included in the book last year and only 4,500 books were printed. Several hundred books were sent to Personnel Managers for their re- cruiting purposes. Photostatic copies of student's records are sent to manufacturing, publishing, and business firms, when we think that these firms would be interested in certain students; or when a student has made it known to us that he would like to become connected with a certain firm. For those students who are going into the ser- vice, we are bringing their records before the Personnel Managers for future employ- ment. 4. The first edition enjoyed the copera- tion of 220 colleges. 2nd year�310 Colleges 3rd year�380 Colleges 4th year�410 Colleges 5th year�476 Colleges 6th year�510 Colleges 7th year�560 Colleges 8th year�655 Colleges 9th year�687 Colleges. 5. These students are selected by a com- mittee at the colleges themselves and their selections are final. The quota for nomina- tions is determined by the size of the stu- dent body and each school is allowed from five to twenty according to the size of the student body. Only seniors and students in advanced work are eligible, except where a junior is unusually outstanding. All students submitted bv the college are automatically included. After receiving the selections from the various colleges, the students are sent the biography blanks and other material. It is distinctly stated that it is not necessary for a student to purchase anything for his biography to be included. The student is told that he or she has three weeks in which to return the blanks , al- though we wait approximately three weeks more before sending the book to press. However, we do receive blanks for many weeks later than the deadline which it is, of course, impossible to include. 6. Nearly 300 college annuals devote from 1 to 10 pages to WHO'S WHO AMONG STUDENTS IN AMERICAN UNIVERSI- TIES AND COLLEGES. 7. Displayed at the meeting were: (a) A book containing letters from college executives from nearly every college in America, endorsing this work and telling of the inteerst and incentives created bv this publication on their campus, (b) A book containing letters from students thanking us for the services rendered and for our help in getting them placed in the field in which they were best fitted, (c) A book containing letters from several hundred Personnel Managers thanking us for this service and tell us how pleased they are with the students whom we bring before them each year, (d) Four large volumes of news- paper clippings about the 1941-42 volume, (e) Four large volumes showing the results of surveys made in each school cooperating with this work. The purpose of this survey was to find out what the students and fac- ulty thought of this publication, etc. With the exception of about 26 schools out of 655, the attitude was that this honor was one which was looked forward to with great an- ticipation, and was considered about the highest, if not the highest, honor on the campus. STUDENT SPOTLIGHT After spending nearly four years on this campus, Bessie Fay Hunt is certainly no "stranger among friends" or stranger, period. Bessie Fay was hard to corner, rather hard to make confess her many ac- tivities on the campus, but other than that she makes a very i n t e r e eting "spotlight Well, we'll start with Bessie as a freshman. Coming from the office of the family furniture store in Wil- mington, she started col- lege here. Probably you can guess she majored in Business Edu- cation � but you wouldn't guess Math too would you?

According to Coach John B. Christenbury, athletes partici- pating in the basketball tourna- ment are showing excellent sportsmanship. On one occasion when an opponent was short of men, Captain Randolph Roper of the Flying Fleet team loaned one of his men to fill the va- cancy. Nick Zuras, captain of the Commandos, also displayed good sportsmanship when he agreed to use only four men when his opponent was short a man, ac- cording to Christenbury.

"If present plans materialize, we will have a boxing match as one of the main events of the program Saturday night. Of course the presentation of our sweetheart will be the main event. "We've engaged the Golden Jubilee string band to supply music for the affair, and we're expecting the mountaineers here to show us some expert square dancing concludes Greene. Players Receive Minor Injuries Players who have injured while participating in the intra- mural basketball tournament are Elmo Mayo, Douglas Eley and Charles Cushman. Eley and Cushman suffered from sprained ankles which put them on the bench. Eley has completely recovered and is now back in action, but Cush- man was forced to use crutches for two days and is not ready for action. Mayo cut his lip while in an under-the-basket scrap.
