Serving as captain for the campus drive was Mrs. Leon H Meadows, assisted by the Dean of Women, Miss Annie L. Mor- ton and her staff as lieutenants. Every room was canvassed by students in the various dormi tories. The prospect of a good time will get almost anybody out of a sick bed. Let's accept restrictions cheer- fully and talk about the bless- ings we retain. Americans who complain of war discomforts can expect no sympathy. The proposed constitution o? the Student Cooperative Gov- ernment Association, w h i c h passed the School Council March 24 with a few minor changes, will be presented to student body in mass meeting this Wednesday for action. When it has been ratified, ar- rangements for an immediate General Election to fill the ma- jor campus offices will be an- nounced. In the proposed constitution provision is made for a joint student government association I that will bring the men and w men together in a general or- j ganization. as is the case in most I co-educational institutions, with a separate organization for i each set up under that to take ; care of problems of each par- $- ticular group. Its major body will be an executive and legislative group, the Student Cooperative Coun- cil, composed of approximately fifty members and four advis- ers, whose chief woik will be the planning of a definite program of construction activities for the student body. Under its leadership all student activities will be coordinated in such a way that each one will be a pan of the general program. The Men's Judiciary and the Women's Judiciary, working in cooperation with the House Committees and Day-Student Committees, will form the judi- cial branch of the government, and so will handle disciplinary problems and routine matters affecting the various dormi- tories and day-student groups. Members of the Constitution Committee: Bessie Fay Hunt, chairman; Joyce Dunham, Virgil Ward, Estelle Davis, Evan Griffin, and Carlyle Cox. Not pictured: Willie Mae Daniels and J. C. Shepherd. Jennings Ballard worked with the committee until he entered the Navy. The Student Legislative Mass Meeting, of which all students enrolled in the college automa- tically become members, will share the legislative powers with the Council. A special feature of the new organization is that every stu- dent activity becomes an inte- gral part of the Student Co- operative Government Associa- tion. The Constitution Committee states that in spite of the fact that its work falls for short of its hope, it believes that it is of- fering to the student body a "more democratic form of stu- dent government, in which many students will have the opportun- ity of taking part and in which there is definite emphasis upon individual and group responsi- bility as college citizens. The committee is composed of Bessie Fay Hunt, chairman, Carlyle C6x, Jennings Ballard, J. C. Shepherd, Joyce Dunham, Vir- gil Ward, Willie Mae Daniels, Estelle Davis and Evan Grif- fin, ex-officio members.

This new organization is something we can and will be proud to be a part of. Each of us is deeply indebted to this group who has so willing given their time to the betterment of our governmental system on the campus. This constitution is worked out in detail and warrents careful study. When it is present- ed at mass meeting everyone will have a chance to ask any questions and have any- thing they do not understand cleared up. Our hats are off to you, Bessie Fay Hunt, for your splendid work as chairman of the committee, and to the entire committee. You have certainly done your part well, here is to the student body doing as much. structive plan of government. �Herbert ReBarker. March 31, 1943 Dear Miss. Hunt: The constitution which your committee submitted to the School Council on Wednes- dav, March 24, and which will soon be pre- sented to the student body, shows the result of many hours of work. Since the constitution makes provision for a larger number of students to activity participate in their p nernment, I trust we will have a better mormed. a more under- standing and a more cooperative student body. I pledge my support and that of my staff to any movement which fosters better citizenship here on the campus, and in the linger communities in which our students may live or work. Sincerely yours, Ayivle L. Morton. Helen Page Johnson Jean Goggin Cathy Hester Lois Grigs by Beecher Flanagan Sherman M. Parks Cathy Hester Proof Reader Alumni Reporter Editorial AdHser B us in ess A d riser Tecnical Adviser M mber North Carolina Collegiate Press Association ampus Di iscussion The new Student Cooperative Govern- ment Association is superior in many re- spects to the former Student Government Association. It affords a broader student participation in governmental affairs. It is more thoroughly democratic. It provides for a more constructive student participation in college life. It better coordinates and unifies college activities. It more clearly defines the functions of student government: It com- prehends the student body in its entirety. The students are to be congratulated for having conceived and developed such a con- I'm in favor of this new movement be- cause it's, something that should have been installed long ago. I hope it will stimulate some school spirit. �Billy Greene. The new constitution can be hours of work thrown awav if the students of East Carolina Teachers College do not stand be- hind, defending, cooperating, and encourag- ing, as it unfolds itself upon this campus. Let us unite ourselves so closely with this new governing set up that we become a dis- tinct part of it, any we reveal our love and confidence by displaying a spirit that could never die. �Estelle Davis. Camp Davis Rabbi Assembly Speaker That Judaism, along with 'the Christian religion, has had a great influence on the baste ideas in democracy was the theme of Chaplain Ralph H. Blumenthal of Camp Davis in a speech at the Assembly Mai eh 25. Chaplain Blumenthal, a graduate oi the i University of Cincinnati and Hebrew Union College, had been invited to speak on the contribution of the Jews to American democracy. After saving that many Jews in Amer- ican history who made contributions m vari- ous ways had done so. not as Jews, but as Americans, the speaker suggested that he limit his discussion to the effect ol Judaism on democracy. American democracy, he said, is not something that sprang into being, but is the product of a long difficult struggle that goes far back into history. He then traced the appearance and de- velopment of the ideas of liberty, equality, and fraternity among the Jews in their wanderings in the wilderness and recalled stories of the kings of Israel rebuked by the prophets for violating the right of the in- dividual at a time when in other nations kings were working thousand of slaves to death for their own selfish pleasure. Democracy was guarded, he said, not only by the prophets, but by the "constitu- tion of the land the Bible, in which the rights of the monarch were definitely curbed. Thu Judaism has made its greatest contribution to democracy by the teachings lof its "constitution Chaplain Blumenthal closed with a hope 1 that this generation may not have to pay too MONDAY, APRIL 5, 1943 great a price to preserve its heritage "Let us put forth every effort now, to save it while it can be saved he urged.
