War Savings Staff
Offers Contest
The human drama behind the
purchase of War Bonds is the
theme that will be stressed in
the nationwide college playwrit-
ing contest which has recently
been inaugurated by the Wo-
men's Section of the War Sav-
ings Staff of the United States
Treasury.
The reasons for this contest
are twofold, the Treasury
points out. First, there is a
widespread call on the War
Savings Staff for short drama-
tic scripts which stress the War
Savings theme. Second, partici-
pation in such a playwriting
venture will, it is believed, make
the individual contestants more
keenly aware of their personal
responsibility to the war effort.
Mrs. Henry Morgenthau, Jr
Chief of the Special Activities
Unit of the Women's Section,
and one of the judges of the
contest, emphasises this "per-
sonal participation" value, when
she says: "I believe that any

Ending the series of pro-

standing of the beliefs of others
and see the similarity in the
fundamentals of the various be-
liefs, was a program presented
March 6. in the "Y" hut at the
college by the YWCA and
YMCA. At this time the Metho-
dist group presented their loc
tlines through the method of
panel discussion, with Mabel
Spence Watson of Fremont as
discussion leader.
Four other students, Misses
Lillian Boyette of Ahoskie,
Edith Wilkerson of Bailey,
Elizabeth Morgan of Carthage,
and Nell Pitts of Creedmoor,
took part in the panel.
About the history of the de-

methodical ways of living prac-

Councils Object To
Committee Election
About one hundred students
gathered in the history lecture
room Tuesday night to discuss
what is to be done about grow-
ing campus problems. This meet-
ing wras promted by the action
the Woman's Student Govern-
ment took in one case. Many
students did not understand
why such action was taken, and
felt that the time had come to
take a stand on an underlying
menance to the standards of the
school. Feeling that the entire
student body should have a voice
in the matter, the group asked
the president of the WSGA to
call a mass meeting for the fol-
lowing night.
On Wednesday night no doubt
the longest mass meeting in the
history of the school took place
for three hours. The meeting
opened with the body singing

How To Conduct
Business Meetings
Representatives from the
class in Parliamentary Proce-
dure, English 117 used the
assemblv period Tuesday to
demonstrate simple steps in the
handling of business in a group.
"Our class willingly accepted
the invitation to give this
demonstration said Mabel
Spence Watson, who introduced
the program and explained its
various parts because we
realize that e-ery student on the
campus, as a member of his
class, and a member of the stu-
dent'body, belongs to at l�jrt

issue of the Teco Echo came off
the press. Deanie Boone Has-
kett, a Greenville student, and
now a critic teacher in the
Greenville High School, was the
first editor. Miss Mamie Jen-
kins served as editorial faculty
advisor and Mr. M. L. Wright
as advisor to the business staff.
The Teco Echo was not the
first publication on the campus,
however, 'Way back in the
Spring quarter of 1914 the first
college publication. "The East
Carolina Training School Quar-
terly came out, with Miss
Jenkins as editor. After a spec-
ial session of the State Legisla-
ture in the summer of 1920
changed the name of the college
from East Carolina Training
School to East Carolina Teach-
ers College the paper was re-
named "The Teachers College
Quarterly In 1923 the publica-
tion of "The Quarterly" was
terminated because of the lack
of funds but a demand by the
alumni for a college newspaper
led to the publication of "The
News Letter a small tabloid
addressed mainly to the alumni.
A demand for a paper "by the
students and for the students"
brought about the Teco Echo in
the fall of 1925. Miss Jenkins
recalled recently some experi-
ences while organizing and
organize a paper we finally got
the first issue out just before
the end of quarter she said.
Since that time the Teco Echo
has shown steady improvement
in keeping abrest of the journ-
alistic world. As clothing styles,
hair-do's, and practically every-
thing else has changed, so has
the style of writing and make-
up of the paper. In the first
papers the front page was a
solid mass of print with head-
lines at the top of each column,
and with very few pictures.
Now7, you may notice that the
front page is almost a solid
mass of headlines and pictures
with very little printed matter.
The most radical changes took
place when James Whifield was
editor two years ago. Some-
times the name of the paper ap-
peared at the bottom or in the
center of the front page instead
of in its original position at the
top. Although these changes
were new and different the
paper won a second class honor
rating by the Collegiate Press
Association and was liked by
the students.
On the editorial page in one
of the early papers the students
were writing letters "To the
Editor" protesting the rules
which made them wear hats
every time they went up town.
It seemed as if the townpeople
printing the first Teco Echo. thought it was disgraceful to see
"Without any student knowing a bare-headed girl up town so
every time thev saw a hatless
ECTC girl on the streets of
Greenville. The townpeople are
still calling Miss Morton's of-
fice these days but it isn't be-
cause of Hats
On the inside page of each
issue was a column of jekes
which I presume fills the same
space that "Scumming fills
this year. I remember one of the
jokes especially which wrent like
this: one guy; "Best girl I saw
you with last night?" 'Nother
Guy: "Necks best Another
joke brings back memories of
those good ole' days when there
was plenty of meat�a belle of
the 20's makes this statement
after being at ECTC for three
weeks: "How big was the col-
lege cowWe've had beef every-
day since we've been here
The sport page was missing
except for the fact that a WAA
meeting was reported in nearly
every issue. There weren't any
boys here then and the bloomer
girls played basketball behind
locked doors. In the late 20's
one of the biggest scandals on
the campus involved one of the
first men students; he was on
third floor of Austin looking at
the bloomer-clad girls play ten-
nis on the court behind Wilson
Hall.

the topic for discussion by sev-

regular meeting Tuesday night,

In introducing the student
speakers, Carol Leigh Humph-

ciation, brought out the point
that children are under tension
and strain of war, and it is up
to the teachers in the classroom
to provide an outlet against such
tension. Free, creative expres-
sion through art, finger point-
ing, water coloring, etc, was
discussed as an outlet.

Contrary to the usual proce-
dure, there will be no spring
holidays this year. Spring and
Thanksgiving holidays were
done away with at the begin-
ning of the fall quarter because
of transportation conditions due
to the war. An extra week was
given at Christmas time, which
was throughly enjoyed, but no
doubt students and faculty
would profit by a slight breaK
between these two quarters.
Permits to register will be
put in the college post office

enrolled in the winter quarter.

"United We Stand"
At the mass meeting Wednesday one
thing was certainly obvious, school spirit
that we used to hear so much about. Of
course in this issue the spirit was divided,
but no less it was spirit. It speaks well of the
entire student body to show their interest in
this important movement, pro and con, to
the extent that they stayed in the mass meet-
ing for three hours.
So far a lot of harm has come by way
of undue criticism, ugly rumors, and false
accusations. However, a great deal of good
is coming and will continue to come from
this movement.
No doubt there isn't a student on this
campus that wishes to make an example of
ont case, and probably not a student who
would sincerely uphold drinking, gambling
or any immoral conduct on the campus.
What a person thinks about drinking at
home or away from the campus (when they
are not coming back to the campus, that is)
is not always the same as what they think
about drinking on the campus. There are
many students who wouldn't vote for prohibi-
tion if they had a chance, hut they don't
drink. The students are not against the coun-
cil and have no wish to violate the constitu-
tion. They do ask for facts, if facts can be
obtained. Is it "the truth that hurts in this
case Anyone with a clear conscience can
certainly not object to an investigation.
Those students who do not understand what
the committee is to do should talk to the
number of students who do. instead of con-
demning it
Gossipers who start talk with thin air
are just as guilty of immoral conduct as any-
one. After all gossiping is a form of lying,
if the gossip is untrue and who can be sure
when it is true or not with no one trying to
clear it up? Perhaps some of the students
who are really fine citizens of this campus
have offended others and have not conducted
their side of the situation suitable to all. Al-
so, other students who have fust as fine
characters, maybe holding positions of lead-
er ship and not, have taken a stand that looks
as if they are opposed to drinking on the
campus which wouldn't speak well for them
If everyone would stop being so sure what
everyone else is thinking and their motive
for their actions, and sit down and seriously
weigh their own thoughts and get a clear
course of action in mind, then much of the
misunderstandings will clear up. After all
college men and women or no longer children.
They should have learned by now how to
think out problems. Although one of the
hardest things to fight is feelings�senti-
ment and -motions . . . that is what must be
done now. Emotions take you around in a
circle; level headed thinking, common sense,
and "cold blooded" facts take you to the
point�in a straight line which is�yes, the
nearest distance from one point to another.

Helen Stone, junior: "The student

of criticism and in most cases has taken the
criticism with a good spirit. We are backing
our student council and we only wish to help
them in a cooperative spirit through a com-
mittee
Mary B. Thorp, sophomore: "I think
aim is to develop a system of espionage which
is an insult to the students as well as to the
student councils.
The students gave the council a unani-
mous vote -of confidence and immediately
turned and refuted this vote by electing a
committee to investigate accusations made
by a group through a medium of what is
known in a slang term as a "stool pigeon
These methods of reformatio nare highly un-
ethical in society; and if the council was
ent idea for there are several issues to be
cleared up for the good of both student body
and student councils as they have been given
a grave responsibility and have done their
best, as yet
Metsel Simmons, senior- "In the first
place, drinking and gambling are no worse
this year than before. It has merely come to
the attention of the students. In the second
place some of the people who wanted to hear
about the rumors did not have the guts to
stand up and ask about them in mass meet-
ing, and last if this group had used some tact
something might have been accomplished but
as it is it all stinks
Willie Mae Daniels, sophomore: "If we
students are innocent of this ghastlv affair,
then why do we tremble at the idea of an in-
vestigating committee? We are responsible
for our own conduct, and in turn the con-
duct on our entire campus. The reputation of
this institution depends on us! Do we want
to go out into the world living down a repu-
tation that is shadowy just because we have
a degree from an institution that has a
"name" over the entire state It's up to us
Eloise Barefoot, senior: "I. personally,
am in favor of a committee's investigation of
our present situation on our campus in or-
der to clear up doubts in the minds of many
students. This should be able to clear the
things which have been left hanging over the
council members if they are not there
Frances Robertson, senior: "I am for
the committee 100. I believe that both
councils are capable but I believe that there
is a firm need of such a committee; if there
isn't a need then we will find out soon
enough
Sammy Crandell, senior: "Frankly I
am in favor of making ECTC a better social,
morally and spiritual institution. I think the
committee will work to help the student
body and council and as a committee will
have no authority as to penalities or restric-
tions on post or future cases
Charlotte Sherian. senior: "I think that
the council has really been run down too
much and had a big job, but something needs
to be done about the demoializing things
that are going on here. If we are going out
as teachers and represent ideals of a teacher
we need to have the right morals while in
college. I do believe the committee is a good
idea and hope they will get at the bottom of
it all and clear up the problems Let's make
our campus a better place to live and our
college one known over our state for its high
ideals
Mildred Beverly, senior: "The time has
come when the students need to take a stand
for right on this campus. Thev (the stu-

Dear Rosalie,
This is just a note to let you and the
staff of the Teco Echo know what a pleasure
those two issues of the paper you sent me
were. I really do appreciate the thoughtful-
ness of the school in getting up the list of ad-
dresses and mailing the papers. I am a home-
town boy and the paper also gave me some
Greenville news as well as college news.
I was really shocked to hear of O. D.
Andrews and John Johnston being killed,
but they were doing their duty and they will
be avenged. I hope to visit the college after
the war which I think will be soon.
Gratefully yours,

This morning I had a letter from one
of our former graduates, Mary Helen Gul-
ledge, recommending to us a good prospec-
tive student for next year, thanking us for
a transcript, and then she adds this para-
graph which seems to be rather significant.
"Mr. Daniels asked me whether it would be
advisable to send Aileen (the prospective
student) to a business school or college I
advised sending hre to ECTC. I think ECTC
one of the most democratic schools I know
of, and think you would have a better chance
of making of yourself what you wish there
than at any other school I know
In view of some discussion that has been
going the rounds recently I am inclined to
believe this statement from one who has
spent four years on the campus, and now
has gone out into the wider field, would
have considerable value.

"The truth shall make vou free When
men and nations today are struggling to be
free, it is encouraging that the students of
our college have taken action to free them-
selves from a deplorable situation that
seems to be rather well established on the
campus.
In a recent mas?, meeitng a majority of
students voted to set up a fact-findimr com-
mittee, composed of five students elected by
the student body and of the Discipline Com-
mittee of five faculty members, to bring to-
gether the facts about the extent of gambling
and drinking on the campus. Until the stu-
dent body has the unbiased facts�instead of
rumors�about this serious problem, it can-
not take a definite stand.
The question has been raised, "What
possible good can come of it?" and "Why
not just start as of today?" We agree that
we have a common purpose�to build a bet-
ter citizenship here. In the building of any-
thing that is to be permanent, a solid foun-
dation is necessary Only when mistakes in
our past are faced fairly and squarely with-
out prejudice can the student body map out
its plan of action against such a condition
getting a firm hold on our campus again in
the future.
When the report of the committee is
presented to the student body, the course of
action rest with that body, as it should in a
democratically governed group. There need
be no doubt that the East Carolina Teachers
college student body, UNITED, can be mas-
ter of the situation.

Cambridge, Mass. � (ACP) � How a
"pay-off" of 50,000 yen was made by the
Japanese government to the Nipponese
"underworld" in the early part of the cen-
tury to pr :vent altercations with American
visitors that might have led to war then was
related recently by Albert Bushnell Hart,
professor emeritus of history at Harvard.
"I got the storv from an attache of the
American embassy in Japan soon after the
incident occurred, and I don't believe it ever
has been told said the 88-year-old, white-
haired professor.
"I was in Japan at the time the 'good-
will fleet' sponsored bw President Theodore
Roosevelt stopped at Yokohama.
"Shortly before the fleet landed, a repre-
sentatives of the undercrust of Japan�the
underworld gang�went to officials of the
government and said in substances: 'There
will be hundreds of Americans coming off
those ships and circulating about in this
area. What's it worth to keep us from start-
ing trouble?'
"My information was that the Japanese
officials said it was worth 50.000 yen to
them to prevent any outbreaks that'might
possibly lead to an 'incident' vith the United
States . . . They weren't readv then.
"The 50,000 yen was paid over to the
gang leader, and there was no trouble when
the fleet landed.
"Subsequently, I went to the American
embassy and a3ked someone there if the
story I had heard was sound, and he inform-
ed me there was 'something to it
"It was might cheap for the Japanese
government to get off that way said Hart.
"And it's not impossible the gang which was
'paid-off had something to do with events

of 30 Midwest colleges and universities,
meeting at Carleton college as a Midwest

day session by repledging full support to the
war effort and to postwar inter-nation co-
operation.
1sJa1t.in a realization that complete and
final Allied victory is the absolute prerequis-

plete war economy at home and by the build-
ing of real military and diplomatic unity
among the United Nations.
The assembly demanded establishment
oi a United Nations war council to function
now and in the immediate postwar period,
to bring about a unity of command, distribu-

tion which would be open to all
American boys and girls is ad-
vocated by Dr. W. A. Lunden,
president of Gustavus Adclphus
college, to give the country the
trained manpower and leader-
ship now lacking.
"America loses 80 per cent of
her potential leaders because
they do not have the privilege
of advanced education he de-
clared.
"Accident of birth, geogra-
phical location or insufficient
funds are the reasons why these
groups do not go to college. Al-
though we have a splendid
grade and high school system,
democracy in education in this
country ceases after that point
and only a very small per cent
of our capable youth continues
Dr. Lunden pointed out that
75 per cent of the colleges in
this country are private schools.
