Lieutenant and Mrs. Reynolds were
guests of Dr. R. J. Slay, head of the
science department, and Mrs. Slay.
Lieutenant Reyonlds is working in
the navy communications in Wash-

secrecy of this work, he was not at
liberty to disclose any information
concerning it.
Lieutenant Reynolds spent thirty
days at Harvard university immedi-
ately after securing a leave of ab-
sence from the college faculty last
January, and has since been station-
ed in Washington. Last year was
his fifth year on the faculty here as
professor of physics and as head of
science practice teachers. Lieuten-
ant Reynolds states that he enjoys
his present work, but is anxious to re-
turn to his home in Greenville and to
his teaching duties at East Carolina
Teachers college.
"It seemed natural to walk into the
physics laboratory Monday afternoon
and find everyone wound up in pul-
leys and inclined planes declared
Lieutenant Reyonlds, "and I've en- stands. Student members of this

Committee Investigating Stores
In order to clear up disputed owner-

f
Fate Of N. C. Educational System
Is In Hands Of State Legislature
From all over the state come reports of
great difficulty in obtaining teachers to fill
the requirements of the schools, indicating
that North Carolina is in the midst of a seri-
ous shortage of teachers. First evidences of
this were noted several years ago when the
national defense program was inaugurated
and wages for "defense workers" reaches
fabulous heights. The shortage has grown
progressively more acute each year until
now public education is facing an alarming
future.
As a result many schools in the state are
operating short handed this year. Others are
using inadequately trained instructors in or-
dei to fill the gaps. The state educational
system may continue to operate this year
despite the insufficient number of good
teachers. It might even go through another
yeai in this manner. But it can do neither
and maintain its former high standing in
the educational world.
Reasons for the dwindling number of
teachers are obvious. While the salaries of
the educators of North Carolina have re-
mained almost the same (high in compari-
n with other states, perhaps, but pitiably
low and inadequate for the times), wages on
jobs more immediately concerned with na-
tional defense and the war effort have sky-
rocketed�along with the cost of living.
From a financial point of view this has, to
say the least, made the teaching profession
unattractive.
T make matters worse for the North
( arolina educational system teachers
throughout the state and especially students
at teachers' colleges in the state have re-
ceived or have been exposed to countless ad-
vertisements from the federal government
and from private concerns offering much
highei salaries, better living conditions and
"a chance to aid in the war effort" in Wash-
ington. D. C. and other points north and out
oi the state. One need only observe the
present state teacher shortage to see what
effect these offers have had.
For North Carolina and for the nation
as a whole the education of the coming gen-
erations into the democratic way of life is
of the utmost importance. Students in the
grad4 schools, high schools and colleges of
today will bear the burden of paying for the
war tomorrow. It is only fair that they now
be given the best possible preparation for
that job by the best obtainable educators.
These same students are looked to by na-
tional and international statesmen to "build
the better and more progressive world of
peace in the future
This being true, it seems that every
word spoken by a teacher in a classroom is
worth as much to the war effort, to the na-
tional welfare, as a blow from a riveter's
hammer in a shipyard. And by the same
token every paper corrected in a classroom
is worth many times the same job done in
one of the many tangled and confused war
bureaus in Washington.
Members of the North Carolina State
legislature, intellectual, cultural and social
leaders from all sections of the state, must
see the situation in the schools today. They
must see that the only remedy is to raise
teacher salaries to a point comparable with
wartime conditions�a step North Carolina
could well afford to take regardless of cost.
The solution is obvious. When is something
going to be done about it?
Pennies Are All Risht�
But We Must Dig Deeper
Attracting a great deal of attention on
the campus at present is the drive of the
World Sudent Service fund which is now be-
ing conducted by the two Y's supported by
the college as a whole. Through action taken
in the Student Cooperative council, every stu-
dent organization on the campus is taking
part in this drive, which is this year included
as a part of the National or United War
fund.
Last year the college did a creditable
job, contributing $134.01, to rank seventh
among the colleges in the state. This
amounts to a contribution of only 15 cents
for each student in the college, however, and
this year East Carolina must give nearly
seven times as much to meet its quota for the
United War fund through the WSSF.
That the purpose of this drive is
worthy is obvious. Money collected will go
into the many war relief organizations of
the world, including our own United Service
organizations and United Seamen's relief
and many foreign groups such as the Unit-
ed China Relief and the British War Relief
society. In the colleges and universities the
money is being collected through the WSSF,
which shares with these organizations in the
United War fund.
The more immediate aim of the World
Student Service fund, which was begun six
years ago by American students, is to aid
fellow students in all parts of the world.
War prisoners, refugees, internees in all
parts of the world benefit from this fund in
that they are provided living quarters, food,
travel aid, clothing, medical aid and books
necessary to furthering studies.
American students are sharing in this
program "because these students hold so
much of the future in their hands, because
they are so important in building the new
world that must be created on the ruins of
the old . .
The fact that the fund is well organized
in the distribution of materials among stu-
dents is evidenced by the work being done by
British students in German prison camps.
These men have organized "universities of
captivity" and are actually being given their
examinations in the camps and are receiv-
ing college credits from universities in Brit-
ain. A similar program is being planned for
the United States.
It is pointed out that this fund was
started years ago by college men and women,
many of whom are now serving in the armed
forces of the nation, some of whom have died
in the service of their country and others of
whom are now undoubtedly seeking to con-
tinue their studies in the prison camps of the
enemy. This situation is true of ECTC as
well as the nation as a whole and should
serve to bring the meaning of the drive home
to students of this college.
Already East Carolina students have
shown an eagerness to help in the WSSF,
which is non-sectarian and non-political in
its work. One organization, the French fra-
ternity, turned over $27.50 from one phase
ot its own campaign last week. All other
groups participated in the Play Night pro-
gram in the Campus building last evening.
Students will be given an opportunity to con-
tribute by depositing money in recptacles
in the student stores and in the post office,
and an attempt will be made to contact every
student personally for a contribution.
With the quota of every person in the
country set at one dollar for this drive it is
apparent why personal contacts must be
mack It the drive is to be successful here,
students must feel an obligation above that
of giving a few pennies through Play Night.

With a new school year beginning and
the Teco Echo rolling off the press again
we are ready for more news about our alumni
in service. During the past year many letters
came to the former writer of this column
and other interested parties. Former class-
mates kept in touch with each other and their
Alma Mater via this column. All students
who have news of the fellows who are wear-
ing uniforms, are urged to drop us a note
telling us how they are getting along, where
they are (if that isn't a military secret) and
just what's what in this man's army, navy,
marine and air forces. Now for a word
about some of the fellows.

Recently I received a letter from Sgt.
Robert G. Little. U. S. Army, who was writ-
ing to extend his thanks for the college paper
which he received all during last year. Quot-
ing from his letter: "Through jungles, on
sea and in the air. the TECO Echo has reach-
ed me regularly with good news from my
home town and school. This paper has been
read by many of my friends in my company
and I can assure you that they too have en-
joyed it so much. After serving two years
over here which will be up soon, I expect to
return back to good old USA for reassign-
ment Robert sent his thanks "for a swell
paper which was more important than any
other Since he has been away from home
for so long we know that his family and
friends are anxiously awaiting his return to
"good old USA We join them in hoping
that soon he will be home and can visit
ECTC. To Sgt. Robert G. Little we wish the
best of luck and a speedy return home.
Dallas Peel, who has been serving
aboard a battlewagon in the South Pacific
for the past ten and a half months has been
sent back to the states to enter OCS where
he will specialize in Electrical Engineering.
His friends have asked him a lot of ques-
tions, but he censors them, "until after the
war Dallas was serving as an electrician's
mate, second class. After spending 18 days
at home he returned to San Diego and re-
ceived his orders to enter Tulane university
in New Orleans.
Word comes from ex-editor, of the Teco
Echo. Jimmie Whitfield. that he is still get-
ting along all right and hopes to be able to
help get out an issue before this year is out.
Jimmie says he has been doing some writ-
ing since he has been in the army, some of
which has appeared in papers back here in
the states.
Editor Jenkins received a letter from
"Mickey" Nbrthcutt last week headed,
"Somewhere in India He was writing to
extend his thanks for the paper. "About a
week ago I received three issues of the Teco
Echo, April and May issues he wrote.
"Mickey" had to say that it was a pleasure
to read the paper and that this column was
"so interesting and helpful to me He
could tell nothing of his experience abroad
but wished that he "could write of som.e of
his experiences since leaving the good old
USA "Mickey" was a member of the class

James Worsley, W. B. Harris, Ed
Brown, who have been stationed at New-
berry college for the past four months are
visiting on the campus this week. W. B. is
going to Norfolk to await opening in mid-
shipmen's school. James is returning to
Newberry for eight more months of training
there. These boys were under the Navy V-12
system at Newberry.
Harold Taylor and Randolph Roper

'Elementary" DeLysle
The Health Service is staffed by two
doctors who are part-time employees of the
college and two graduate nurses, one of
whom is on duty at all hours.
The college physician is Dr. Frederick
P. Brooks, who is also director of the depart-
ment of health and physical education. Born
in Kinston, N. C, and educated in the Kins-
ton public schools, he attended the Univers-
ity of North Carolina, receiving the degree
B. S. in chemistry in 1921 and the M. S. de-
gree in 1922.
He served as assistant professor of
chemistry at Clemson college, S. C, in 1922-
1!23, returning to the University of North
Carolina in 1923 as an instructor in order
to conduct further graduate study. He re-
ceived his Ph.D. degree in 1926 and was ap-
pointed assistant professor of biochemistry
in the CSC Medical school. He became
associate professor in 1930. During this
period he also studied medicine and com-
pleted work toward the M. D. degree at the
University of Michigan in 1933 while on
leave of absence fromUNC. He resigned
from this position in 1933 in order to accept
an interneship at Henry Ford hospital in
Detroit.
Doctor Brooks moved to Greenville in
1934 and began the practice of medicine. In
1935 he became assistant college physician
at East Carolina Teachers college, which
position he held until the death of the college
physician. Dr. J. E. Nobles, in December
1941. He then became acting college physi-
cian. In March 1942 he returned to Chapel
Hill for special studies in the School of Pub-
lic Health under a fellowship from the Gen-
eral Education board. Owing to the de-
parture of several of the Greenville doctors
to join the armed services, he was compelled
to return to Greenville before his period of
study was completed in order to resume the
duties as acting college physician.
In September 1942 Doctor Brooks be-
came college physician and director of the
newly established department of health and
physical education. In order to keep abreast
of modern medical practice, Doctor Brooks
continues the private practice of medicine,
devoting one fourth of his time to this ac-
tivity.
The East Carolina physician was mar-
ried in 1924 to Miss Octavia Broome of
Kinston, N. C, and they have three sons
Frederick, Frank and John. They reside at
447 WTest Fifth street.
SCUMMING
By The Keyhole Korrespondent
It seems that our editor at one time
wrote a column in this, our most honorable
Teco Echo and in said column called him-
self the "Keyhole Korrespondent Some
day we think he might even be famous as the
originator of the great title�so we wouldn't
think of giving ourselves any other name,
but try to carry on in his footsteps.
In peeking into the keyhole of the staff
room of late we have found some most in-
teresting scum. Jenkins can't decide which
he finds more interesting�working with
business manager Batson or escorting Betty
around in that little gray car. Go, Jenkins,
Go!
Things have moved with such speed re-
cently that news becomes old news before we
can get it printed. Gals have been kicked and
guys have been spurned with the usual rapid-
ity of adjustment at ECTC. Who kicked
who in the Tom-Colleen affair? Tom and
Jerry isn't a cat and mouse affair�or is it?
And is Tom about to take over Joe Lassiter's
position with Jackie DeLysle? According to
our way of thinking,
uses some rather advanced tactics!
The Y store is still the hangout of all
the loafers�and of many of our so-called
scholars, too. One can enter at any time the
hangout la open�if he can cut his way thro'
the smoke and stand tht' blast of the ice-
grinder�and find one coed surrounded by a
dozen dames. Jimmy Felton is usually some-
where in the bunch and now that he's getting
into the service what will the poor girls
do . . . Jimmy has established a name for
himself while at ECTC by being known as
the one coed who has been least affected by
the "to-do" made over all boys by these Wol-
verines! Good for you, Jimmy. It really is
good to know there's one bo around here
who is not conceited! Hint, hint!
At last there's a formal dance scheduled
for next weekend ' We notice in the sign-up
book that Sadie is taking Jack Edwards to
the Jr-Frosh hop! Just what Jack Edwards
is that. Sadie? And, girls, 'tis rumored that
John Charlton may have his fiancee down
for the great occasion! Maybe that explains
his coolness to the fairer sex here at ECTC.
SCGA President Dot, dating a marine
is one thing, but permitting him to come to
see you AWOL (a wolf on the loose, too) is
another! Can't you teach him that he's sup-
posed to conform to rules of his group?
Reminded us of last year when we saw-
Baby Pearsall and Burney Warren together
aeain. But. things were sorts' switched
when Burney and "Booger" Scales ("Big
Weighty" in the army air force) took those
two cute cousins. Joy and Jodie Flanagan to
the jammed (and I do mean jammed) session
last Saturday night.
Then, too, we hear that Baby was dating
a lieutenant Sunday . . along with Bonn
Inez .and Dot Davis�We can't blame the
marine corps, tho for those are cute girls.
The age-old adage that love blossoms
behind the footlights was proved last year
when Virginia Cooke and Bill Green played
opposite in "Ladies in Retirement"�If this
runs true to form, what about Cooke and
Beddingfield as Claudia and David? We're
betting on you, Cooke�stay true! But it's
our guess that every time we see Ed and
Lorraine Moore together it's not just by
chance.
Anyone who can furnish information
concerning the transporting of John Saieed's
car from Cotten hall to Training school play-
ground please turn said information over to
Greenville police department (or to John
Saieed�John will be glad to act as prosecu-
tor, jury, judge and what-have-you?)
There was an influx of ECTC alumni
last weekend, including Carlyle Cox Ray
Sisk, Buddy Murray and Clyde Mann
By the way, Blimp and Clyde seemed to be
enjoying each other's "companionship" Sun-
day night.

field all afternoon, having the ball in
enemy territory most of the game.
Commandos are First
The Commandos scored first, in the
latter part of the first period. The
score came on last down from the four
yard line. Ed Beddingfield tossed one
to Captain Johnson on the goal line
for a touchdown. The try for extra
point was an incomplete pass. Thus,

Marines Tie
Early in the fourth period, Lassi-
ter's Marines tied up the game but
l failed to put across the extra
in i int and the score was 6-6. The
n score came on a long pass from Ben
y. Brown to Captain Lassiter who ran
it over from the 35.
With just two and one half minutes
f1 o play, the big Commandos again
went into the lead but again failed
tally the one-pointer and thus the
Marines trailed 12-6. The second Com-
mando touchdown came on a pass
from Captain Johnson to Fenner Boyd
on the goal line, wich Referee John
Charlton ruled to be a score.
Brows To Cutler
The Marines, now very spirited,
drove down the field twice, both times
being held just outside the gate. A
third march was begun from the 60.
With only twelve seconds to go, the
rnplete hall was snapped to Brown who faded
back to the 25. He threw a bullet in-
to the arms of the waiting Beverly

game was over, officially. The Ma-
rines must now have their try for the
extra point that would win the game.
The try was unsuccessful.

season, a tie would be played off at
the end of the game by giving each
team four down from the midfield

The meeting was called to order
by the new president, Mrs. Chester
Walsh, who introduced the program
chairman, Miss Ruth Modlin. Miss
Modlin presented Miss Emma L.
Hooper who recalled briefly instances
in the history of the college, showing
that the college has always moved
forward in its development in spite
of obstacles. Miss Hooper also gave
a most interesting review of Stephen
Benet's book, Western Star. This book
is a story of American ideals, and
the review brought a greater appre-
ciation for those courageous people
who laid the foundation for these
ideals.
Miss Modlin then called upon Mrs.
Clem Garner, state president, who
spoke on the Alumni association plans
for the year.
Following the program a business
session was held. Mrs. Jethro John-

; were discussed.
At the close of the meeting the
members were invited into the dining

of the service men have been secured j
as they were transferred from place
to place. Letters from the boys who j
uceive these papers declare that they j
look forward to receiving news about
their former schoolmates through
this medium. A service men's column
is beintf run each issue especially for ,
ihose boys.
Kacb issue the Torn Echo runs mats j
received from the U. S. Treasury arm-
ing students to invest in war bonds.
Pictures and informative articles
from the various branches of the ser-
vice argmg students to enlist are in-
eluded. Editorials supporting the
various war drives are another con-
tribution of the Teco Echo.

Annual Has Long,
Varied History
At East Carolina
The first East Carolina Teachers
college annual appeared in the spring
of 1924 with Dr. Leon R. Meadows as
ad.viser. It was on the same plan as
the annual of today, but was much
smaller because of the smaller stu-
dent body.
Tin' first annual was dedicated to
Dr. Robert H. Wright. The follow-
ing year it was advised by Mr. Ralph
Deal and Dr. Meadows and was dedi-
cated to Dr. Meadows. The third
annual was dedicated to Mr. Deal.
In the early years the yearbooks
were financed through voluntary stu-
dent subscriptions, whereas today it
is financed from the student activites
