Eight Activities
Cut By Budget
Eight student organizations
and undertakings were cut a
total of $1410.00 in their ap-
propriations at a recent meet-
ing of the Budget committee.
This action was necessitated by
a sharp drop In enrollment for
the past two quarters.
"At the first of the year we
based the appropriations on an
enrollment of 1,000 students
and a total of $18,000 in stu-
dent fees explains Student
Treasurer Claire Jenkins. "But
last quarter the enrollment
was 900. and this quarter we
can depend on only 850 stu-
dents
Since the $200 allotted the
music department for the pro-
duction of the opera. Martha.
was repaid, a cut of $1300.0C
was necessary. The cut of
1410.00 leaves a balance of
110.00 to cover any possible
deficiency caused by failure
some students to pay
fees.
Major cuts were made in th�
appropriations of the Enter
tainment committee ($400.00),
the Men's Athletic association
C?M40.00), and the Women's
Student Government associa-
tion ($250.00). The Woman's
Athletic association and Social
committee were cut $100.uO
each. The Men's Student Gov-
ernment association was cut
$90.00, Pieces O' Eight $80.00,
and the Teco Echo $50.00.
These cuts went into effect
April 23.

Edward Bernays
Establishes Three
Fellowships
-
Commencement Exercises
Scheduled For Last Of May
Three fellowships for research
in public relations for 1943
have just been established by
Edward L. Bernays, publicist of
New York, author of "Propa-
ganda "Crystallizing Public
Opinion" and "Speak Up for
Democracy
The fellowships are: 1) t
Western Reserve University,
Cleveland, $500 for the study of
how in the past 25 years busi-
ness .education, government and
the press have increased theii
use of public relations. This is
to be awarded to a graduate stu-
dent for the study ot the public
attitudes toward business since
1930 as reflected in the pres&.
on the radio, resolutions and ac-
tions of the different consti-
tuent groups that make up our
society�labor, religious, farm,
social service, government and
other groups.
2) to the Columbia Univers-
ity Graduate School of Journ-
alism $1,000 for the study of
the attitudes of liberal United
States business men in the past
50 years and what the effects ol
these attitudes were on public
public opinion and public ac-
tion. The subject was chosen
"because liberal business men
have done a great deal to further
the relations between th com-
ponnt parts of our society, and
the results of their efforts
should be made available t
other industrial leaders w h o
have not learned how to apply
such principles and practices to
their own commercial and in-
dustrial activities
3) to New York University
$1,000 to be awarded to a grad-
uate student for the study of
changing attitudes towards pub-
lic relations by the press and
business in the past 25 years.
Breaking a precedent which
has been established for several
years, the commencement exer-
cises will be conducted this year
the last week-end in May instead
of the first week-end in June.
The address for the gradua-
ting exercises to be held on
Monday morning in the Wright
auditorium will be made by Dr
Clyde A. Erwin, State Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction
and a well-known figure in edu-
cational groups throughout the
state. The invocation will be
made by Rev. George Perry,
pastor of the Jarvis Memorial
Methodist church.
Commencement officially be-
gins on Saturday morning at
the annual meeting of the Alum-
ni Association which features
the formal recognition of the
graduating class as new mem-
bers of the association, the in-
stallation of new officers, and
the presentation of the Alumni
award.
Dinner is to be served the
alumni and the graduating
class as new members of the
graduating class in the Wright
auditorium. During the after-
noon alumni, the faculty, and
the graduating class will be en-
tertained at open nouse at the
home of President and Mrs
Meadows, after which there will
be an "Allegiance Service" for
the graduates. The annual music
recital will constitute the pro-
gram of the evening presenting
student soloists and various
musical organizations on the
campus. There will be no alum-
ni Dance this year as previous-
ly, due to current war condi-
tions.
Dr. W. Taliaferre Thompson
will make the baccalaureate ad-
dress on Sunday morning. Dr.

According to reports - given
student teachers are making a
major contribution to the war
effort while serving their ap-
prenticeship in preparation for
econom- employment. They are helping
high school students to assume
greatly increased responsibili-
ties and providing training for
same, such as caring for small
children of working mothers,
providing recreation for child-
ren, planning, preparing, and
serving nourishing meals; help-
ing children and adults to pro-
duce more food through victory
gardens, teaching them conser-
vation of food through food
workshops, canning and drying
demonstrations; adult nutrition
classes, and regular foods class-
es where they learn to use meat,
butter, and sugar substitute;
to plan meals on the home food
supply and to adapt menus 10
point values. The high school
students are also taught to con
serve other materials such as
clothing by renovating and car-
ing for old garments and by
wise purchasing and construct-
ing of clothing for the dura-
tion; by the care of household
appliances and irreplaceable
household equipment all the way
from pins and needles to elec-
tric refrigerators and stoves.

On Tuesday night, May 4, the
Music department presented an-
other successful concert. Miss
Jean Abeyounis, soprano; Miss
Lorraine Pritchard, mezzo-so-
prano; Mr. Linwood Gurganus,
Baritone; and Mr. Denton Ros-
sell, tenor, entertained the well-
filled Austin auditorium.
The first group of selections
came from the Italian Opera
"Brindisi from "La Traviata"
by Verdi the group was sung by
Miss Abeyounis. "Una Voce Po-
co fa" from "The Barber of Se-
ville" by Rossini was sung bj
Lorraine Pritchard. Linwood
Gurganus and Mr. Rossell sang
"Guarda Che Bianca luna" by
Canpana. Three arias from "La

raine, Mr. Rossell and Linwood
were assisted by Ingram Wal-
ters and Freeman Watson in
this selection.
The next group of songs,
"From the Modern Repertoire"

tunes more familiar. "O Lovely
Night" by Ronald opened the
group sung by Lorraine Pritch

The new constitution setting

bring together in one council
for constructive activities the
leaders of all campus organiza-
tions, both men and women,
went into effect here May 4.
with the installation at assembly
of officers for the coming year
These officers were elected
last week under special pro
visions pnding the formal going
into effect of the new constitu-
tion, which had been ratified by
the student body on April 7. The
constitution is the product of
months of study by a student
committee headed by Bessie Fay
Hunt of Wilmington, who has
worked unceasingly for better
student government throughout
her college career, with Carlyk
Cov, Virgil Ward and Evan
Griffin, Joyce Dunham, Willie
Mae Daniels, J. C. Shepherd
Jennings Ballard and Estelie
Davis. It sets up the one joint
council representing all interest
groups to take the lead in coor-
dinating all student activities,
and in creative thinking for the
campus, and provides for sep-
arate men's and men's judiciar-
ies to handle enforcement of
regulations with the assistanct
of special dormitory and day-
student committees.
For the installation program,
three speakers, Dr. Leon R.
Meadows, president of the col-
lege, Estelie Davis, retiring
president of the Women's Stu-
dent Government association,
and Carlyle Cox, president of
the new SCGA, struck the key-
note of the added responsibility
and opportunity that the new
organization is assuming. Then
in an impressive ceremony, the
new officers spoke together,
pledged their loyalty and faith-
fulness in the performance of
their duties, and the student
body, accepting them, responded
with a like pledge that it would
assume its share of responsibii
ity for better citizenship.
President Meadows told the
large group of new officers who

Dear Alumni:
A train, we are extending to you a very
cordial invitation to attend Commencement.
It is possible and even looks probable that
some or most of you have persuaded your-
selves that it would not be wise to attempt
to attend Commencement his year. If you
have reached such a conclusion I rust you
will change your mind. We did not have
Homecoming Day last fall beer use we want-
ed to conform to the spirit of the nation in
conserving gas. tires, cars, energy, and peo-
ple. However, a great many colleges did
observ e the day. and perhaps in doing so
promoted the cause of education. We feel
that it would be wise for our Alumni to
get together at least once a year. We hope
that the inspiration gained from the reurn
to the campus will react favorably in the
cause of education wherever the alumni live.
In addition to the actual good accomplished
by such a visit to your Alma Mater we
believe that during this time of stress when
nerves are taut it is good for us to relax
ocasionally and. with others, gain strength
through association for the duties which
lie ahead. You will enjoy the clay or days
spent on our campus at the close of May.
A new president o fthe alumni asso-
ciation will be elected this year, and you
will want to be here to help inaugurate the
one who is to lead you for the next two
years. Also, you will wish to be here to
honor the one who receives the alumni
award; and Mrs. Meadows and I will expect
you here to attend the tea at our home on
the afternoon of Alumni Day.
Rooms, meals, and other types of enter-
tainmtnt will be as in former years. The
luncheon will not be formal. We are ex-
pecting large numbers from the honor
classes, which this vear are those of '18, '33,
and '42.
Let us know not later than Saturday,
May 22. if you can be with us so we can
make our rationing plans accordingly.
Very cordially yours,
Leon R. Meadows. President.
Dear Alumni:
At this season our thoughts turn to
Commencement and you. I am happy to
have the privilege to remind you that not
only are we hoping to have you with us
this year, we are expecting you. We are
anxious to know how you have spent the
years since you left us, and how can we
know unless you come back and give us a
report ?
As always at commencement time, the
campus is yours. However, this year more
than ever before, we are having to make
more definite plans to assure your happi-
ness and comfort while you are with us.
Rooms in the dormitories and meals in the
dining halls will be available for those who
notify us by Saturday, May 22.
The classes of '18, 33, and '42 are our
honor guests this year. Complimentary meal
tickets will be given to the members of those
classes when they register in Gotten Office.
Meal tickets for members of other classes
may be purchased. These tickets are thirty-
five cents each except Sunday dinner which
is fifty cents. As in the past the luncheon
on Saturday is complimentary.
We hope you have made plans to be
with us. If not, please start those plans
at once�then you will fill the attached
blank and mail it to reach me or the Alumni
Office by Saturday, May 22. If you prefer
you may send us a postal card giving the
needed information.
Most cordially yours,
Annie L. Morton

Only An Editor
Has To Guess
The following editorial, as nearly as we
can ascertain, first appeared in "The Pur-
ple and White weekly newspaper of
Mill sap's college, Jackson, Miss.)
Profs can sit crosslegged on the top of
a desk: dean's first list students can let
down their guard; student body presidents
can fraternize with the masses.
Only an editor is required to be pon-
tifical always.
Only an editor is supposed to know
everything that happens, so it is taken for
granted that he always knows it, and no-
body ever tells him anything; only an editor
is supposed to keep an open mind always,
and at the same time to make snap decisions
for each political impasse; only an editor is
required to keep his nose out of politics,
meanwhile keeping tab on the strength of
each separate lineup.
Profs have their apple-polishers who
ask questions after class; dean's list stu-
dents get their quarterly reports; student
body presidents hear quarterly reports;
student body presidents hear complaints in
SEB meetings.
Only an editor has to guess.
Only an editor has to grope blindly
along, trying to put out a paper for a stu-
dent body who will talk onlv behind his
back, who will never tell him what they
like or don't like, who will squak audibly
only when they are mortally and irreparably
wounded who never thank him when he
;says anything nice about them or censor
anything nasty, who have to be tracked
down, cornered, and beaten insensible be-
fore they will so much as give him a news
lead.
Profs have the satisfaction of seeing
their teachings put into practice; dean's list
students are an inspiration to their succes-
sors; student body presidents can point with
pride at year's end to long rows of achieve-
ments.
Only an editor has to endure the spec-
tacle of 99 of his GOO loyal readers, each
and every week, turning immediately on
receipt of the paper to the Finger of Scorn,
ignoring everything else in the issue; to
find the layouts which he and his staff have
spent hours of work, completely unappre-
ciated ; to feel his editorial campaigns which
he has planned for months, vhich a-e his
only method of criticism of his school and
of society, coldly ignored.
Profs get to sit on the stage; dean's
list students don't have to attend class;
student body presidents get to introduce
visitors.
Only an editor is damnfool enough not
to want to trade places with any of them.
And, when all's said and done, only an
editor has the satisfaction of knowing that
his thousand words a week are written
down in letters that can never be erased;
of feeling something in a way which must
have immediate and lasting effect; of know-
ing that, if he knew how to use it, he has
the whole state for his audience; of sensing
that he is doing a job for the students which
no one else could do in quite the same way
and last but not least, of being sure of a
staff that, no matter how much he is forced
to abuse them, overwork them, denv them
my reward for their work, will bedriven
back for more by pure love of literary effort.
Only an editor would gripe about it.
Here's How They Do It!
The Oracle, Monmouth (III.) College:
The editor is elected by the students, is paid
on the basis of number of issues put out.
This usually amounts to a $150 scholarship!
The business manager is appointed by the
Oracle board, which is composed of the edi-
tor, the old business manager, two assist-
ants of the new editor, and a facultv mem-
ber. The business manager is paid in
accordance with the amount of advertising
he sells: usually gives him a $125 scholar-
ship. The above system is defined in the
student body constitution. The editorship
is a political plum, due to this svstem Both
the scholarships are paid from ' Orach rev-
enues. The adviser does not direct the
activities of the staff. Two or three tmes a
year he passes the editor a hot tip but the
rest of the time he never sets foot n the
paper office. When the editor wants advice,
he goes to the alumni secretary, who has
his office next to the Oracle office and who
is interested in what s going on. There
is a standing debt to the printers, so con-
seiencious editors and business managers
try to run the paper as economically as
possible, in order to pay a small amount o;

In a recent Campus poll a hundred stu-

35 boys and 65 girls were quizzed. Listed
below are the questions and the percentages
answering in various ways.
1. Favorite Comic strip: Girls
Blondie 16
Cap'n Easy 10
Li'l Abner 25

By the tenth date 38
The other percentage unaccounted for
said it depended on whom they were dating.
Eleven of the sixty-five girls quizzed said
they didn't believe in kissing at all�wonder
who believes that? They ought to tell that
to the marines One boy said that kissing
was a waste of time but as figures show
over three-fourths of the bovs try it on the
first date!
6. Do you attend church regularly?
(at least twice a months
Girls Bovs

tion "I'm ashamed to say and "Not
enough to count appeared on the ballots.
The answers revealed that the; girl studies

hours. These figures look bad but you'd be
surprised how accurate they might be
13. Have you ever been in leve? 81 of
the girls say they have been in love and one
girl said that she'd been in love seven times.
66r'r of the boys have been in love while one

this debt. Because we at small colleges
believe that everyone has a right to par-
ticipate in as many extra-curricular activi-
ties as he can and because we wish to guard
against any one group controlling the ppaer,
all who wish to write for the paper are
allowed to try out. This does detract from
the final merit of the paper in that most
of our stories are not well-written, we
realize.
Loyola Maroon, Loyola University of
the South, New Orleans, La : The Univer-
sity news sources are divided into beats
which are covered weekly by students in
newswriting class and some editing stu-
dents. A definite copyreading schedule,
with copyreaders recruited from the editing
class, is drawn up and posted each week.
For this work students receive grades which
are counted in final classroom marks. Like-
wise a schedule of workers for the Droof-
reading and layout work at the printers is
posted so that students get an opportunity
to observe first hand the mechanics of
getting out a paper.
Mac Murray College Greetings, Jack-
sonville, III Probably the outstanding
feature of the MacMurray college Greetings
is the fact that we have conducted for the
last two years what is known as the "Survey
of Student Opinion This started through
the ordering by part of our staff of a little
pamphlet from Dr. Gallup of the American
Institute of Public Opinion. The students
read these pamphlets and organized a sim-
plified system for sampling public opinion
at the college. Our process is somewhat
as follows: On Monday of each week the
three students in charge of the student poll
pick out the questions for the coming week.
These are mimeographed on Mondav and
placed in each student's mailbox on Tues-
day. By Wednesday noon the material has
been returned to the institute box and tab-
ulation is made on Thursday.
STUDENT SPOTLIGHT
Well, we feel that you won t need much
of an introduction to the Snothght for this
t me, because Harold TayUor really gets
around on this campus Harold is very
blonde, five feet ten and ne-half inches
tall, and weighs 15C pounds. (It sure fc
nice to find someone you can take inventory
on, and they don't even object to ijs appear-
ing in print. But this is typical of Harold s
good nature and willingness to help.)
As a freshman Harold was a member
of the Debate club, charter member of the
YMCA, and began his career en the college
newspaper. He has remained an active
member of the YM for the four years he
has been here. He served as an associate
editor of the paper his junior year, and
this year. During his junior year he served
on the "Y" cabinet. For three years Harold
has been in the Phi Sigma Pi, acting a
assistant secretary his junior year, and sec-
retary this vear. In case you are wondering
how his political interests lie, he was a
member of the YDC for two years.
Harold's career as a journalist has
been very interesting. From the duties of
reporter'his first two years, he turned to
those of an associate editor his last two
years. He has been in charge of the ser-
vicemen's column and has to say of that
duty that he has enjoyed the job more than
any other one he has had. He gets quite
a bit of "fan" mail from his readers. During
his junior year he attended he Press Con-
vention in Winston Salem. "I'd like to go
into the newspaper world after the war
states Harold. He developed this life .i am-
bition by working on this paper.
Between his junior year and his senior
year this energetic young man turned "from
scholar to a machinist, back to a scholar
Translated, that means he dropped out of
school for a year to work in the Norfolk
Navy yard in Portsmouth. Va. Thus, he
received a taste of Navy life, or rather a
peep in on what it's all about. Maybe that
is where his enthusiasm for the Navy began.
Anyway, he is now in the V-7 and thinks he
will go in training shortly after graduation
the last of May. When asked why he el

The Deacs were paced at the

afternoon.
This was the second victory in
five starts in the five-oinine
games series with the Demons
for the Woodpeckers. The two
teams meet this afternoon on the
athletic field in a crucial battle.
A win for the Peckers today Will
knot the series at 3-3, while a
victory for the Demons will give
them what might prove to be a

were trailing by a 12-9 score.

The Demons put together five
hits and three costly errors by
the Woodpeckers to score eight
runs in the first frame. Woody
started on the mound but was
generosity in'replaced by Clark after six runs

to the mound in the second, but
three runs on three errors and
one hit caused him to retire in
favor of Clark at the end of the
inning. Clark allowed only one
run on five hits for the last five
stanzas.
A single by Zuras, a triple by

ing home with a 5-1 lead in the
going into the sixth frame. But
at this juncture Wiley Brown
beat out an infied hit and Elmo
Mayo and Murray were safe on
fielder's choices and the bags
were drunk. Mann sobered
them with a blow to deep cen-

In the last half of the sixth
Zuras led off with a four-bag-

minutes later Joe Lassiter hit
a homer with Dick Gaulding a-

McKeith-
Alumni Dag Plans
As in former years the Alum-
ni Day program will be on Sat-
urday during Commencement,
which comes this year on May
29 through May SI. The pro-
gram of the Alumni Association
will include such significant
events as installation of the new
officers, citation to the Alumni
Award recipient, recognition ot
the graduating class, and the re-
ports of chapters. In the after-
noon President and Mrs. Mead-
ows will hold a most informal
"at home" for alumni and the
graduating class, and at 6:30
the graduating class will have
the traditional Allegiance Ser-
vice on the campus.
The Honor Classes who will
be special guests are the class of
1018. the class of 193:5. and the
class of 1942.
Other plans for Commence-
ment are similar to those of
other years, though somewhat
simplified. The next issue of the
Teco Echo will carry full de-
tails of the program.
Elsewhere in this issue you
will find invitations to "come
home" and a blank for the ne-
cessary reservations. This is
the first year in the Association
that reservations have been
necessary, but this is also the
first year that the Association
has also been called on to work
for Victory against tyranny. If
you can come to commencement,
fill out blank and mail it on
time. If you cannot come youi-
self, please pass the blank to
some one who can return.

tent leader, who worked so

Easter Lily Sale
Over forty dollars was real-
ized from the sale of small
paper Easter lilies for the bene-
fit of crippled children which
was carried on here on the cam-
pus and in Greenville, April 27,
by the YMCA and the YWCA.
The campaign, planned by
Anne Audrey Stevenson and
Ed Brown for the YW-YM, re-
spectively, lasted just one day,
with a booth in the post office
lobby at the college in the morn-
ing, and at the social hour in the
Wright building in the evening,
and one at Five Points down-
town both afternoon and eve
ning.
For this sale, the lilies were
made by crippled children of
North Carolina, and to them
the proceeds will go, as the pro-
ject was inaugurated by the
Crippled Children's association
of this state.
