Lt. (j.g.) John David Brid-
gers, U. S. Navy Air Force, is
now stationed somewhere in the
South Pacific. He was gradu-
ated from ECTC in 1941 and
entered the Navy immediately
following graduation. He was
aboard the Yoketown in the
Battle of Midway, and lost
everything except his plane
and his life when she went
down. He was an outstanding
student while at ECTC, taking
many roles in Chi Pi plays. He
has been in the Pacific a year

Carolina Offers
War Training
Chapel Hill, N. C, Jan.
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. This program will include
vital science courses, especially

Freshman-Junior
Deemed Success
As guest of the freshman

president of the freshman class,
and her escort led the figure.
Others in the figure were of-
ficers of the freshman and jun-
ior classes, the class advisors,
and their escorts. After the
grand march the couples form-
ed a mandolin. The unique

Miss Lucy Stokes
Infirmary Nurse
Miss Lucy Stokes is the new
assistant nurse at the Collega
Infirmary replacing Miss Eliza-
beth Robinson. Although Mis-
Stokes is a native of Ayden.
she is no stranger in Greenville.
Before coming to East Carolina
Teachers college. 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.
ECTC students don't seems
to mind getting sick any more
since they have the smiling
Miss Stokes to bring them
their pills.

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.

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

Carolina boys to give them "an
opportunity to avenge" their
defeat by the ECTC team
at the Dixie Tournament dur
ing the fall quarter.

Who Wants To Set
Austin On Fire?
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.

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.

she was on the "Y" cabinet, secretary of
the Math club, member of the Deputation
team to State and Wake Forest. She became
treasure of the "Y secretary of the WSGA,
"Y" representative to the Inter-racial Con-
ference in Durham, and a member of the
Delta Chapter Alpha Iota, in her junior
year. This year Bessie Fay is president of
the Math club, chairman of Religious Edu-

Student-Faculty Relationship Committee,
and chairman of the Constitution Commit-

she was elected for Who's Who. and re-

Physical Fittness
Class Stresses
Body Building
In compliance with the de-
mand for strong bodies during
wartime, the physical education
department of East Carolina
Teachers college has started a
physical fittness extra-curric-
ula class.
Headed by O. A. Hankner,
Miss Dorothy Parks, and
Coach John B. Christenbury,
the class emphasizes calisthen-
ics, fundamentals of marching,
and games.
"If it is possible states
Physical Education Director
Hankner, "we will set up an
obstacle course at ECTC simi-
lar to ones in colleges schooling
military units Hankner plans
to have such activities as wall-
scaling, rope-climbing, cross-
county hikes, and relay races
feature the obstacle course.
"It's not too late to get in the
class states Hankner. "It

Douglas Jones, popular and
versatile Junior from Farm-

four games of the three-out-of-

After Jones had won the sec-

Brown won the third game by

Sportsmanship!
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.
"It's this type of sportsman-
ship that results in a successful
tournament concludes Coach
John.

dent Bill Lucas, now in the
army air force.
"If present plans materialize,
we will have a boxing match as
one of the main events of the

course the presentation of our
sweetheart will be the main
event.
"We've engaged the Golden

Greene.
Players Receive
Minor Injuries
Players who have injured

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. The cut
necessitated two stitches, but
Mayo stayed out of only one
game.

Here's Summary Of Inter-Collegiate Season;
Pirates Topped By ACC; Defeated All Stars
Despite the difficulty in
scheduling inter-collegiate bas-
ketball games this season be-
cause of Office of Defense
Transportation orders against
traveling. East Carolina's Pi-
rates played three games be-
fore changing the athletic pro-
gram to intramurals.
The most recent of the three
games was a tangle with the
Bethel All Stars, a game in
which the Pirates were victor-
ous,62-35. Top performer for
the night was Captain Bob
Young, who played a bang-up
floor game and tied Clyde Mann
for scoring honors with 10
points. Sharing honors with
brother Bob is Jack Young, who
played his last game for ECTC
before going into the United
States Naval Reserve. Incident-
ally, Jack ended the intra-col-
legiate play as high scorer of
the team with 27 points. Bob is
next in line with 22 markers.
Early in the season the Bucs
were outclassed by the Atlantic
Christain College quintet. The
Bulldogs were victorious on two
occasions; once in Greenville by

May Holland of
Raleigh, meeting with the Fac-
ulty Advisory Committee and
the treasurer of the Associa-
tion. Miss Grace Smith, pre-
sided at a helpful conference in
the Alumni Office on Saturday
evening. January 26.
Mrs. Holland gave a sum-
mary of the splendid work
which the chapters are accom-
plishing regardless of the diffi-
er on the class teams in basket-
ball, volleyball, indoor baseball,
and tennis during both years,
and a member of the College
I Glee club. She was a senior su-
I perlative, and was awarded the
: loving cup for having the most
points in athletics in a contest
offered by Miss Dorothy Tolle-
I son. Physical Education In-
j strutor in 1924.
Under her leadership, the
Charlotte Chapter is very ac-
tive in war work, having re-
culties. All except two or threej cently finished a series of meet-
'hapters have sent in reports ; ings on a constructive program
showing that though most ofof service and defense during
them are holding fewer meet- j the current school year. This
formerly, they are chapter has also "adopted" two
making steady progress toward
meeting their association bud-
gets; that many of them are
doing valuable Red Cross or
other defense work, while also
keeping up their previous plan-
ned activities; and that through
letters and the Teeo Echo they
are keeping in touch with the
college. Miss Grace Smith gave
a good financial report.
Mrs. Holland commented on
the fact that this is Lhe year for
the president, vice-president,
and treasurer to be elected and
asked that the alumni be re-
minded that only paid mem-
bers are entitled to vote. The
vote will be by ballot early in
the spring. She gave instruc-
tions about the main parts of
the office work for this quar-
ter, and stated that Miss Jane
; nn will continue her service
as typist.
While at the college. Mrs.
Holland was the guest of Miss
Maria 1). Graham and Mrs.
Elizabeth Smith.
�oldiers who were graduated
from E. C. T. C, and the chap-
ter members write to these men
each week and will remember
them on special occasions. Even
with this active program, the
chapter still contributes its
time and energies to rolling
bandages and sewing for the
Red Cross.

After discussing the many
changes now taking place in
fields of occupations for girls,
he outlined the program of the
high school Victory Corps, the
requirements for membership
in it, and the special service
units into which high school
seniors may go.
In college, he said, students
might well re-examine then-
courses to see if they
transfer from other fields
those of mathematics and
science, where the need for
teachers is the greatest right
now.
One contribution college fac-
ulties can make to the war ef-
