Eileen Farrell Will Give Concert Here Eileen Farrell, brilliant young star of CBS, will appear in the Wright Auditorium at 8:80 p. m. on the night of January 13.

Last year she appeared over three I weekly CBS broadcasts, but dropped them this year to concentrate on one ! program a week and her concert ap- pearances. Miss Farrell has been in- j formed by the management of the Metropolitan Opera House, peer of all! opera organizations, that whenever. she is free they would like for her to join their list of artists. I Hal Thurston's music blended with the Christmas theme as he melted gates and gals with his "White Christmas His "The Dreamer" also created quite an impression in the mind of Fmmett Fisher, who spent the entire evening singing the first two words.

PECEMBEK '5, 1943 PAGE TWO The TECO ECHO To Cut or Not To Cut Let's Get It Settled! A' nonces from classes have long been a bone t contention at East Carolina Teachers college. Two years ago students were allowed a straight total of eight cuts with no strings attached. This method proved un- satisfactory because of the excessive num- ber of absences from classes, and the stu- dents themselves took action to remedy the situation in the spring of 1942. It was through action by the student h uy that all absences from classes, except tlist' with special excuses, were made "d uble" cuts. �'� counted as two of the al- lowed eight absences. This left the college v ith its present inconsistent system, which in name gives tight cuts during the quarter, but which in actuality allows four absences. nd even this system has proved un- satisfactory in that there have been many t 0 many absences from classes. The fac- ulty has now taken action on the matter, and a committee has been appointed to recom- mend a better system. Various suggestions have been made as to a solution to the prob- lem of absences. One faculty member has suggested unlimited cuts, maintaining that the teachers would then make the courses hard enough so that cuts would be imprac- tical ile. This is generally considered as too much of an extreme. In other colleges such methods as reducing the number of hours of credit given and lowering the grade for the irse are used. Both of these systems are extremist and fa.il to follow sound reasoning. Some colleges, such as Duke university, al- 1 ��� unlimited cuts for students making the r Dean- list in scholastic aver- ages. This, too, is improbable for East Car- olina, which has no such list. It is not known as yet what the faculty committee will recommend, but it seems likely that they will suggest allowing three unconditional cuts each quarter and a limit- ed number of excused cuts�the require- ments for an excused absence being made more' stringent than in the past. Unless a tter system is proposed, this seems to be the most practicable solution to the East Carolina problem. Claudia Marks New Milestone for Chi Pi With the successful presentation of Rose Franken's Claudia on Friday and Sat- urday evenings, the Chi Pi players marked the beginning of their seventh year as an essential part of East Carolina Teachers i :e. Since being1 founded on the campus in the spring of 1937 by Clifton Britton and John David Bridgers, the Chi Pi group has brought widespread recognition to itself and to the college. Almost every major performance of any type on the campus in the past seven years lias been either produced by the Chi Pi players or aided by members of the group. Perhaps the peak was reached two years ago when a Chi Pi play, directed by Clifton Brit- ton. won a state championship. Last year the group was largely responsible fcr the great success of the opera Martha And now the success of Claudia marks an ther milestone in the prograss of the Chi Pi players. Myriads of efforts go into each Chi Pi drama, and Claudia has been no ex- ception. In addition to endiess rehearsals for several weeks, many hours have been put in by the back stage crews. All of the stu- dents owe a vote of congratulations and thanks to the Chi Pi players.

'War Is Hell7 Note: Army Gets Sherman "War is hell"�so said Sherman. The staff of the TECO ECHO becomes the latest ex- ponent of this maxim. Another Sherman has gone to war. This may be bad for the enemies of democracy, but it is more immedi- ately bad for the TE( 0 ECHO and in the long run for the college. Most students have inner met Sherman M. Parks, and probably only a few have no- ticed his name in the masthead of the Teco Echo as "technical adviser Sherman has printed the college newspaper and served in an advisory capacity to the staffs for five years. He has been largely responsible for the paper's achieving the success it has in the journalistic field. Last Wednesday Sherman was inducted into the army of the United States at the Fort Bragg induction center. As a result of this the Renfrew- Printing company, which prints the paper and Pieces 0' Eight, might liquidate. This would create for the staffs and for the stu- dent body as a whole the problem of finding a means of printing these publications. But before attempting to solve this problem, the college should join the staffs in extending a note of thanks and best wishes to Sherman Parks. Now Is The Time To Start Collecting One prime requisite of any teacher is a personal library. The prospective teacher should have his library well begun by the time he has finished his four-year college course. Facilities for obtaining books of any type are negligible on the East Carolina campus. In some cases students may obtain books no longer being used in classes from the book room. Although books of this type are usually text books and not too attractive to the student, tiny are in many cases valu- able additions to a personal library. This is especially true in such fields as science, home economics and mathematics. Another source of books on the campus is the stationery store which vends a limit- ed number of reprints of books at prices which students can afford. This source can be much improved if the stationery store will procure reprints and cheap copies of the classics and other books valuable to a teacher's library. Since students in this college are not re- quired to furnish their own books, they lose a valuable incentive to beginning a personal library. Teachers on the campus could help remedy this situation, perhaps, by offering for sale to the students at reduced prices any old copies or duplicate copies of good books which they may have. In a number of cases East Carolina faculty members have books which serve only to overstock their own li- brary shelves and which in many cases might be valuable to students just beginning libraries. At any rate, students interested in hav- ing personal libraries (and this should be all students, especially those planning to teach) should begin now to investigate possibilties of procuring desirable books. infirmary. For more extensive surgical care students are sent to the local hospital. For eye, ear, nose and throat care and for dental care students are referred to specialists. The health service does not at this time have an X-ray or metabolism machine and labora- tory facilities are limited. For sudden acute illness or for acci- dents the student may call for service at any time and the nurse in charge, at her discre- tion, will call the college physician. The health service proxides no medical service to students in private homes d rmi tories or at any place, except in the college infirmary.

With The Armed Forces by Rosalie Brown For our last issue before the holidays, we have news from several of our bo-s. some of whom we have not heard from be- fore. First is Staff Sgt. James W. Joyner, His letter was slightly cut up by the time it reached his alma mater, but one gets used to such things when the boys get over anxious to write an interesting letter. In this case, it was a matter of telling us where he is stationed. All we know is he is some- where outside of the continental limits of the U. S. A. But that covers a lot of territory. James says he is Uncle Sam's number one "goldbrick" when the college papers reach him, until he has finished read- ing it from cover to cover. He writes. "I am stationed in a (an dthen the censor's scissors went to work) wilderness and have been here for the past thirteen months. We have a USO show occasionally so at least we see a white woman once in a while. (That makes a big difference� be stationed at the Naval Magazine. Port Chi- cago. Calif. He says the duty is strenuous but interesting. "The activities are of a con- fidential nature and there is a good chance I will move closer to Tokyo as the big eastern push progresses writes the Coach. The coach is interested in knowing where ali "his boys" are and guesses that they are scattered all over the world which is about right. He wants addresses, so if you will watch this column from time to time you will be receiving them.
