Students Urged
To Speed Course
In Summer School
In line with a request by the
federal government urging that,
college students complete their
work as soon as possible, Eastj
Carolina Teachers college is
making every effort to assist
students in speeding up their
work.
It is pointed out in the office
that a year may be saved in a
four-year course by attending
three full summer sessions, but
j it is stressed that good educa-
tional standards should not be
sacrificed for the sake of speed.
Registration for the first
I term of summer school begins
Thursday. June 3, and class-
work begins Friday. June 4.
Last day for registration will
be June 10. The term ends Wed-
nesday, July 14, and registra-
tion for the second term begins
Thursday, July 15. Second-term
classwork begins the next day
and the term ends Friday,
August 27.
A tentative list of the courses
to be offered during the sum-
mer sessions can be found in the
summer school number of col-
lege bulletin, but any course
listed in the general catalogue
will be offered during either
term of summer school if there
is sufficient demand for it.
Practice teaching in the elemen-
tary grades will be offered dur-
ing the first term only.
Dr. McGinnia is planning a
scries of lectures in popular
subjects to be open to students,
faculty and townspeople. There
will be nc charge for these lec-
tures, which he says will prob-
ably be heM once a week at
times when the most people will
have the opportunity to attend.
Dr. Clyde A. Erwin Will Speak

Student Body Offers
Welcome To Alumni
This weekend approximately 250 mem-
bers of the East Carolina Teachers college
Alumni association will flock to the campus
to celebrate the annual Alumni Day pro-
gram. With travel conditions as they are at
present because of the war and its effect on
transportation, it is very fortunate that so
many of the alumni are finding it possible
to attend the annual exercises. The Alumni
association is the only connecting link be-
tween the former East Carolina students
and the college today. This organization is
doing an excellent job of keeping the college
and its alumni in touch with each other. The
Teco Echo joins the entire student body in
saying to visiting members of the Alumni
association, "Welcome home
Students Asked For It�
Now Its Up To Them!
In a recent meeting of the New Student
Cooperative council a controversy arose
over the question of whether faculty ad-
visers should be voting members or chair-
men of standing committees of the student
government.
The dicussion was ended when the coun-
cil elected a faculty member chairman of the
Entertainment committee. After the meet-
ing an investigation was carried out by cer-
tain students and faculty advisers, and it
was discovered that to have a faculty ad-
viser as chairman of a student committee of
this sort is definitely contrary to the con-
stitution. Legalizing the action of the coun-
cil in this matter would involve revision of
large sections of the constitution, in effect
the adoption of an entirely new type of con-
stitution in which the faculty would be in-
cluded in the government in the full sense
of the term.
Because of other pressing duties and a
lack of time to put into the job, the faculty
adviser elected chairman of the Entertain-
ment committee resigned the position. In
the last meeting of the council the unconsti-
tutionally of faculty chairmen was discuss-
ed and it was decided that in the future only
students will be elected to head the stand-
ing committees.
This is the first issue which the council
has had to face and decide whether authority
lay with students or faculty. In making the
decision in favor of the students the council
was undoubtedly right and following the con-
stitution. The Entertainment committee,
however, and perhaps some of the other com-
mittees involved in this decision carry a
great deal of responsibility. The students
have rightfully and constitutionally taken
this authority upon themselves. Now it is
up to the students to see that these positions
are capably filled and the best possible jobs
done.
Congratulations, Seniors
Best Of LuckS
Next Monday members of the senior
class of 1943 will receive their diplomas in
what might be the last services of any type
at East Carolina for some of them. Some of
this class will go directly into the armed ser-
vices, some will go into war work, others will
take their places as teachers and help "to
keep the light of education burning in a

interesting experience, he wrote about
bumping into an ensign on one occasion. He
begged his pardon, never looking up, and

Twenty-five years ago students were de-
voting much of their time to the war effort.
A look through the 1917-18 volume of the
"Training School Quarterly shows that
"Victory Gardens war bonds, and making
surgical dressings for the Red Cross are
nothing new on this campus, even though
these activities had different names twenty-
five years ago.
Pictures in the Quarterly show seniors
hoing away at rows of vegetables. In the last
war classes, clubs, societies, and the YWCA
of East Carolina Teachers Training School,
as it was then called, got busy and raised
some of their own food. Not only that�they
canned, dried and even sold their garden
products. They also picked strawberries, and
dug yarrow and wild onions out of the grass,
signing up to give so much time to work. In
the fall they picked cotton, even contracting
for the management of whole crops near
town.
The money made was spent foi "liberty
bonds for Red Cross, refugees, and war
work. The bonds were contributed to the
school for the Student Loan Fund. The twen-
tv-five vear class left a $500 bond as a class
gift.
Numbers of articles told ways of econo-
mizing in cooking and how to preserve foods.
People were advised to buy butter while they
could get it and store it away in stone jars,
pack eggs in salt and use less flour by mak-
ing breads with corn meal and using Irish
potatoes "potatoe flour" it was called instead
of flour in cakes. One article contained a
chart showing the sharp rise in food prices
over a few menths' time. Anyone tempted to
complain abo.i a food "situation" nowadays
will think twice when he realizes that
"ECTTS" during World War I had one
meatless day a week and any number of
"Wheatless and sweetless" days. Corn meal
and potatoes took the place of flour and mo-
lasses, the place of sugar, for a long stretch
of time, it seems.
"Eatless" parties became the fashion,
the money which would have been spent for
refreshments going to buy bonds. At one
party imitation refreshments, such as paper
popcorn, were served.
The Red Cross had a sewing room and
students worked regularly in it. Several oc- j
casions they held old fashioned "sewing,
Bees" at which students and teachers spent
a social afternoon making garments for
refugees and soldiers, students signed up
for sewing time just as they do now for time
to roll bandages. They were making clothes
for refugees and sending boxes to the Bel-
gians before the war was declared. There
are pictures of exhibits of garments for
babies and small children. One story goes
that in the pockets of bathrobes and pajamas

The library has been fortunate this year
in securing rather valuable sets, many of
them of considerable age, that are important
to an institution of this type; especially to
those doing graduate work. I am noting by
brief title some of them hereafter; if you
care to give them space in your final issue I
shall appreciate it.
Everyone expects a library such as
ours to have late books of interest, but se-
curing these basic titles becomes difficult
after they are out of print.
Yours very truly,

Woodpeckers Get
12-7 Victory
Over Murraymen
By playing heads-up ball and
taking advantage of all the
breaks, Floyd Woody's Wood-
peckers scored a decisive 12-7
victory over the Deacons of
Buddy Murray Friday, May 7,
to knot the count in the intra-
mural softball series at three
games all.
The Woodpeckers amassed 12
hits, including a homerun in the
first by Stanfield Johnson, while
Nick Zuras and Snag Clark
held the Demon Deacs to five
safe hits, all singles. Zuras
pitched hitless ball in the first
two innings, striking out two
men in each frame, but lost his
control and walked five consecu-
tive men after Pot Craft had
opened the third with a single.
Clark appeared at this juncture
and John Saieed greeted him
with a three-run single. Two
singles and an error gave the
Demons their final run in the
fourth.
Woody started things off for
his team with a double in the
first. Johnson's homer, three
errors and a single by Jerome
Butler accounted for four runs
in that inning. Three more
tallied in the second on Gene
Smith's double, a walk, and two
errors. Singles by Burney War-
ren, Butler and Smith brought
two runs in the third. An error,
a walk and singles by Beverly
Cutler, G. A. Taylor and Clark
scored three in the sixth.
Butler with three for three,
Smith with two for two and
Clark with two for four paced
the Peckers at the plate. Elmo
Mayo, Wiley Brown, Murray,
Saieed and Craft got the Dea-
con hits.

College Will Have
World War Class
As Honor Guests
Members of the Class of 1918
will celebrate the twenty-fifth
anniversary of their graduation
as honor guests of the college
during the commencement ex-
ercises scheduled for the last
week-end in May. The group
graduated after completing the
two-year normal course when
the college was known as the
East Carolina Training school.
Passing the entire senior
year during the period of
America's participation in the
World War, the class devoted
much of its time to Red Cross
sewing and other forms of war
work. All of the dresses worn
by the graduates were made by
the girls while participating in
a contest in which an award
was given to the girl who pro-
duced the graduation dress
most inexpensively.
Miss Mamie Jenkins, faculty
adviser to the class, states that
according to the records, the
members of the class are now-
scattered from California to
New York. Thirty-nine North
Carolina counties contain resi-
dents who graduated in the
class of '18. One of the group
when last heard from was at-
tempting to leave China.
"As You Like lt the senior
play of the class is considered
by some to have been one of
the best productions ever given
on the campus. The class was
also noted for its production of
the play "Robin Hood" with
some of the parts from the
opera. Using the profits from
their dramatic activities and
other work the class raised five
hundred dollars which was in-
vested in bonds and subsequent-
ly placed in the student loan
fund.

Volunteers Help
In Alumni Work
Mrs. J. C. Holland, formerly
Miss Alia May Jordan, state
president of the Alumni asso-
ciation of East Carolina Teach-
ers college, recently announced
the appointment of Mrs. May
Johnson Eure Tyndall of Ayden
to the position of secretary of
the Alumni association.
Mrs. Tyndall arrived in
Greenville May 10 to assume the
duties of the office vacated by
Miss Estelle McClees, the first
secretary of the association, who
last June resigned to return to
her former position as science
teacher in Elizabeth City.
Miss Emma L. Hooper of the
English department has been
performing the duties of the
alumni office during the past
year until the services of Mrs.
Tyndall were obtained.
Mrs. Holland succeeded Mrs.
B. M. Bennett formerly Miss
Elizabeth Stewart as president
of the Alumni association. Dur-
ing the first year of Mrs. Hol-
land's administration the asso-
tion advanced over twenty
chapters and this year, despite
war problems, her leadership
has held the association to-
gether.
Mrs. Holland is approaching
the end of her two-year term.
Elections of officers for the
next two years are now in pro-
gress and will be announced in
the near future. Installation of
the new officers will take place
during commencement.
Mrs. Tyndall received her
A. B. degree in June, 1938, in
grammar-grade education. For
the past two years she has
taught in elementary grades in
Deep Run. Her being a charter
member and the first president
of the Ayden chapter of the
Alumni association and her
affiliation with the state alum-
ni organization fit Mrs. Tyndall
for the position of secretary of
the association. When a senior
at ECTC, she was chosen the
person with the "best personal-
ity She is affiliated with the
Ayden Christian Church and is
a former member of the Avden
Junior Woman's club.
Teco Echo Does
Much Traveling
To Boost Morale
From the United States to
India the Teco Echo travels
around doing its bit for the
moral of 'the service men of
East Carolina Teachers Col-
lege.
The idea started last fall
when Mrs. J. C. Holland, state
president of the Alumni asso-
ciation, made a visit to the
college, and at a meeting of
the advisory committee of the
Alumni association, suggested
that a Christmas letter be sent
to men in service who had at-
tended ECTC. She also sug-
gested that copies of the Teco
Echo be sent to the men in ser-
vice.
A Christmas letter was writ-
ten by Dr. A. D. Frank, and
sent out to about 150 alumni
in the service by Miss Emma
L. Hooper and Jane Yann.
Through the efforts of Miss
Maria D. Graham, Mr. Ralph
Deal, and Mr. J. B. Cummings
the difficult task of securing
the correct addresses of the
service men has been carried
on.
Since last October through
the unceasing efforts of Miss
G r a h a m an ever-increasing
number of papers has been
sent out. Now each time the
Teco Echo rolls off the press
copies of it are being sent to
stations all over the United
States, England, Africa, India,
Panama Canal Zone and to the
Pacific war area.
Miss Graham has not been
alone in her effort to keep the
service alumni in touch with
the college. Harold Taylor,
writer of the service men's
column has helped her
Miss Graham has particular-
ly counted on the help of eleven
girls who have helped in ad-
dressing the papers which
come folded from the printer.
Together these girls have spent
144 hours in addressing papers
since last October. Because the
addresses are long, it takes an
average of two and one-half
minutes to address each paper.
These girls who have given
their time in helping Miss
Graham are Dora Bailey, Viv-
ian Bass, Josephine Everett,
Annie Eason, Erma Hinnant,
Blanche O g b u r n, Rebecca
Piidgen, Doris Sparks, Leyta
Taylor, Mildred Wellons, and
Iris Woody.
Anyone knowing new ad-l
dresses of those names already
in the file or current addresses
of boys in service whom Miss
Graham has been unable to
contact will help bring a bit of
the home front to the men by
helping Miss Graham get her
lists complete and up-to-date.

During the past year there
has been no alumni secretary to
attend to the business of the
Alumni association. Voluntary
and cooperative work of the

of Miss Emma L. Hooper, chair-
man, Miss Maria D. Graham
Miss Ruth White, Dr. A. D.
Frank and Mr. J. B. Cummings
Under the general supervision
of Miss Hooper, Jane VannJ
senior, and Marie Whitehurst1
have worked in the office.
Alumni chapter reports have
sometimes been written by-
Catherine Hester, alumni re-
porter to Teco Echo, and oc-
casionally by Miss Hooper and
Jane Vann. A large number of
commerce majors have volun-
teered for mimeographing
work.
Dr. Frank comDOsed the
Christmas letter sent to the
alumni in the armed forces.
Miss Graham has handled all
the communication to these a-
lumni. Mr. Cummings helped to
collect the addresses. Miss Gra-
ham also looked after receipts
for alumni dues and business
matters, along with Harry Jar-
vis, business manager of Teco
Echo.
Miss Ruth White has kept
records of marriages and
changed addresses of the alum-
ni.
