It was voted to reconsider the motion

At the meeting Wednesday a com-

State Wanted Stores
This movement by the student- of
I the summer school terms was begun
I in order to prevent the state's taking
over the student stores. Last spring
the state auditor's office informed
Dr. E. R. Browning, faculty manager
of the stores, that that office would
take over the Student Cooperative
stores and require all profits to be
run though the office of the college
treasurer and reported back to the
state auditor's office. Under this
set-up any funds not spent would au-
tomatically go back to the state-
auditor's office.
To forestall this move by the state,
it was moved and voted in a mass
meeting held August 12 that "the
Student Cooperative Government assoc-
iation take complete charge of the
'Y' store and the Stationery store, or
the Student Cooperative stores, and
that Mr. E. R. Browning be notified
to place the past records and pro-
ceeds of the stores with the treasurer

ment association

this move, a committee was appointed
to investigate the history of the stores.

Students Began This Movement
It's Up To Them To Finish It Now
In order to prevent action by the state
to take charge of the. Student Cooperative
stores, the student body last summer began
a movement to gain actual control of these
stores.
To establish their claim to the stores,
the students checked old records and brought
out the fact that the stores were organized
by the students in 1925 and supposedly have
been operated for the students since that
time. Purpose of establishing the stores was
to obtain funds for a student union building.
A committee of students and faculty
was appointed by President Robert H.
Wright to operate the stores for the stu-
dents. This committee made annual reports
to the students until 19SS. Since that time
proceeds from the stores have gone into the
"Campus fund Last spring the office of
the state auditor informed Dr. Browning,
faculty manager of the store, that the state
was considering taking over the stores. It
was to prevent this move that the students
acted to prove their ownership of the stores.
This proof was presented to the gover-
nor and the students were assured that a
careful investigation of the situation would
be made by the state. The summer student
body actually informed Dr, Browning that
the'students were assuming active control
of the stores. In its first two meetings this
fall the Student Cooperaive association first
approved this action, then voted to recon-
sider its action and to appoint a committee
to make a further investigation of the tacts.
It is apparent from the facts at hands, how-
ever (These facts are found in the history
of the store and are available for investiga-
tionthat the stores belong absolutely to the
students and should be operated by them.
Council Acted Wisely
In Approvins Budget
There was a good deal of discussion be-
fore the Student Cooperative council ap-
proved the appropriations made by the bud-
get committee for this year. Most of this
discussion centered around whether the
Men's Athletic association should have an
allotment of student funds this year.
Failing to turn in a request to the bud-
got committee before its meeting last week.
the MA A later came up with a request for
(1543.50. Everything listed in the MAA
budget for the current year was considered
by the council as equipment and services
which should be provided by the physical
education department. For this reason the
council did not grant an appropriation to the
MAA. which it said "was not organized on
the campus as yet
In all other items of the budget the
council also agreed with the decisions of the
budget committee, which were made alter a
thorough investigation at its meeting last
week. The budget for the year was passed
by a comfortable margin in the council, and

Dear Mr. Editor:
To whom does one turn he has
a problem? Not being sure how to answer
this question for myself. I am turning to
you.
Here is mv problem: 1 understand that
ECTC had an Orchestra. Is there such an or-
ganization on your campus?
1 have had since coming to ECTC two
rehearsals of what has been listed in the
catalogue as the Orchestra, but really 1 am
not sure that is what I would call the group
with which I have worked.
What I'm trying to say to is this: Where
are the students who were in the orchestra
last year and also where are the new stu-
dents who should be in it this year? How do
I go about finding enough boys and girls to
make a group that could play at some of the
functions I know I may be asked to supply
music for?
Possibly you would be good enough to
publish this letter in your paper. There may
be some students on the campus who could
and would be willing to help you solve the
question I have asked you.
Thank you.

Among the first things noticed by stu-

this fall were the new walks, located be-

During the summer quarter a total of
395 books wen- added to the ECTC library.
The names and authors of these books will
be pul lished in this and successive issues of
the TECO Echo. In tins issue the fiction
group is presented as follows:
from the post office to Cotten.
It was only a few years ago that there
were no paved walks or streets on the cam-
pus. At that time one edition of the college
yearbook included in its predictions of
future years at ECTC the humorous state-
ment that "The front street and walks have
been paved . .
In the last few years the committee for
it wiirundoubtedly'get'the full approval of the beautification of the grounds has done a
mot successful job cf beautifying the cam-
pus, including the construction of paved
walks. But in the last year many persons
have expressed the opinion that the job of
paving walks is actually being over done.
One faculty member expressed the opin-
ion that "The committee just had more
than they could spend so they took it out in
walks Others have wondered orally
whether it is planned to put a walk every-
where that students decide to walk. The
new walk between Cotten and Fleming
might be one to foster such a comment.
It seems that some effective means of
preventing students from walking on the
grass would be better than building a walk
on every spot worn bare by pedestrians.
Signs might well do the job. As yet this
hasn't been tried on the campus, and there is
no reason to suppose that students would
not cooperate by using the more than ade-
quate number of walks we now have.

Students Can And Will
Do Student Jobs
James Melton's rich tones sounding
through the Wright building last evening
offered ample proof of the fact that students
are capable of directing committees handling
student affairs.
At the end of school last spring it was
argued that the job of being chairman of the
entertainment committee was too important
or entailed too much work to be handled by
a student as the constitution provides that
it should. It was suggested in the Student
Cooperative council last spring that the stu-
dent chairman be provided an office from
which to contact representatives of enter-
tainers and tc handle publicity, seating ar-
rangements, movies and other such duties.
But no action was taken at that time.
Camille Jernigan. working without the
benefit of such an office and without having
previous experience with the committee, has
done a most creditable job as chairman.

Now we're having the kind of weather
that was the object of our mid-summer
niirht's daydreams. So out of moth balls and
bottom bureau drawers come last year's
skirts 'n sweaters. For this year's college
girl came with bars which rattled. You see.
Uncle Sam tells us to conserve (spell with

a big role in keeping tht' latch strings of the

Some of last year's clothes will do; but
some, however nurtured, have taken a last
curtain call, and like the famous one-horse

Jumpers spell the latest in appeal.

Seems the Sweater Girl is loosing her
hey-day. but shirts 'n skirts are ersatz with
plenty of eye-appeal.
The formula for success with skirts 'n
shirts lies in your choice of colors, the fool-
proof formula being: Take one light color-
ed skirt (such as beige rayon gabardine,
pale purple aralac. or grey-and-white check-
ed wool-and-rayon). to which add one dark-
colored shirt (hence: deep brown-orange-
yellow strip, green jersey, or black rayon

neck comfy, or a belt made from a glob of fur.

is prepared in that department.
The purposes of a college health service
are three. The first is to supervise the
maintenance of a healthy environment in
which the students live. The second is to
create in the students habits and attitudes
conducive to health. The third is the care
of the student's health and the correction of

and townspeople alike.
Admittedly the chairmanship of the en-
tertainment committee demands a great deal
of work. But this is no reason why a stu-
dent should not be chairman of this commit-
tee. Chairmanship of the budget committee
also requires much labor. The chairman of
the budget committee, however, is not only
provided with an office, but is also paid a
salary for this work. It seems that the chair-
man of the entertainment committee should
receive similar consideration. A task re-
quiring so much work and consuming so
much time should bring remuneration and
surely an office in which to do the work.

119 New Members
New members of the Women's
Athletic association were at the
mercy of heartless old members dur-
ing initiation exercises between 9
a.m. and 4 p.m. Saturday, October 2.
The 119 new members were given
such pleasant little tasks as putting j
up curtains, cleaning up rooms and j
1 i
running up town for the old guard.
The unfortunate pledges were easily
recognized during the day as they ap-
peared minus makeup, wearing purple
and gold and old stocking caps.
At 2 o'clock the apprehensive new j
members were summoned to the
Wright building for completion of the
initiation program. With memories
of dire consequencies for failure
gently whispered in their ears the
joinees went through a series of
pantomines, songs, dances and acts
of all kinds. There were 119 deep
sighs of relief as the program was
concluded and refreshments served.

Helen Stone For Job In YWCA
Holding the gavel at meetings of
the Y'oLing Women's Christian asso-
ciation this year is Helen Stone, sen-
ior from Reidsville. Helen comes
well qualified, having attended the ere
president's school at the Union '
Theological seminary in New York
City for six weeks during the sum-
mer.
It is the practice of incoming pres-
idents of Y organizations all over the
country to attend this school during
a brief summer session. Helen says t

day, the afternoon and evening re-
ceived for study and recreation. Ke-

ing everything from the Statue of
Liberty to China Town. Although
the subway offered convenient means
of getting about town, Helen found
it too noisy to enjoy.

Wants to Teach
Very much interested in teaching,
Helen chose East Carolina Teachers
college because it is noted for good
teacher training and because it is a
state school, another factor which
Helen likes about ECTC. Teaching
in a rural school is the height of
ambition for this grammar grade
major.
Collecting picture post cards is a
j new hobby with Helen, who got the
inspiration from Charlotte Shearin.

In Various Ways
During Wartime
This World war has brought
changes everywhere, and to this rule
the YM and YWCA's are no excep-
tion.
Since 1939, the Y's have intensified
their efforts to foster tolerance and
understanding among the young peo-
ple of the world. They have also add-
ed to their activities that of trying
to meet both the spiritual and wordly
needs of the men now in the service
of our country, as they had done in
the last war.
One of many examples of their
work in promoting international good-
will is to be found in the drive they
si aged last year to raise money for
the World Student Service fund.
Here on the campus, the Y's sponsored
a "Flay Night which netted 135.00
to be used in helping the students of
war-torn countries (some of whom
in concentration camps) obtain

In the beginning
Carolina Teachers college the Young
Women's Christian association was
the outstanding organization on the
campus, according to Miss Maria Gra-
ham.
Established even before student
vernment, the YW had approxi-
lately i per cent of the students in
Its membership; and since it was the
inly club or organization, it sponsor-
ed all social functions, including the
college dances.
An evening devotional was held
every nirht in the Y room, which is
now Miss Marguerite Austin's class-
room. 205 Austin building. Later it
was moved to the third floor in Aus-
tin and remained there until 1925.
At this time the present Y hut's con-
struction was completed. Construc-
tion of the hut was begun in 1920.
Night Watch New
Instead of what is now termed
Night watch, the girls came to have
a morning watch before breakfast. Iti
was replaced by the nightly devotion
in 1940 under the presidency of Vir-
ginia Whitley.
Another outstanding function of the
YWCA was the Sunshine garden. The
girls brought seeds and bulbs from
home and planted them in a garden
near Wilson hall. The Sunshine com-
mitte took these flowers to the sick
students and teachers in the infir-
mary, as well as to outstanding citi-
zens in the community.
Pageants Impressive
In 1916 the YWCA staged its first
large-scale pageant, celebrating the
fiftieth anniversary of the organiza-
tion of the YWCA in Boston March
3, 1866. "Girls of Yesterday and To-
day" was the theme of the pageant.
Other outstanding pageants produc-
ed by the Y's include the "Pageant
of World Fellowship" held in con-
junction with the armistice at the
nd of World War I in November
1918, the "Litany of Comradeship"
program which is termed a tradition
in a 1933 record and the impressive
"Victory over Death" pageant pro-
duced in the springs of 1941 and 1942.
Establish Soda Shop
The college Soda shop was establish-
ed by the Y in 1922, and is still
known to many by its original name,
the "Y store
Another outstanding figure of the
made it possible for
visit the campus, Dr.
and Dean William J.
laird of Berea college, a representa-
tivo of Danforth foundation. They
sponsored the World Student Service
� fund drive to which $134 was con-
! tributed. Vespers were held every
j Friday and Sunday evening often
with speakers from outside the col-
lege.
The YWCA sponsored the White
Christmas Gift service and helped fi- ,
i
nance a German refugee student at
East Carolina for one quarter. The
! YWCA alo sent the president and
' religious education chairman to pres-
ident's m-IiomI at Union Theological

In the United Stai.es, the Y organi-

Y's Serve Together
The YM serves with the YW in
practically all functions. Among the
projects undertaken by the boys alone
is aid given boys in finding rooms in
kown. They have also sent out "In

members in the armed services.

Work on Home Front
Tin work ot the Y M and YWCA's
on the battlefronts of the last war is
well known. Less well known, how-
ever, is the fact that they also did
much on the home front. Here at
Last Carolina they rolled bandages,
bought a Liberty Loan bond, and
raised money for the Belgian Relief
fund, the War Relief fund, the
Chinese Famine Relief fund and the
European Student Relief fund�using
in this last instance money earned by
the YW members by picking straw-
berries.
