Winter Enrollment<lb/>
Drops Ten Per Cent<lb/>
Eight hundred eighty-six students<lb/>
enrolled for this quarter on registra-<lb/>

ber twenty-eight are entering ECTC<lb/>
for the first time.<lb/>
There were nine hundred fifty-<lb/>
three enrolled for the winter quarter<lb/>
of 1943. The present enrollment<lb/>
represents a drop of less than ten<lb/>
per cent below that of the correspond-<lb/>
ing quarter a year ago.<lb/>
"This is the normal drop that we<lb/>
would expect stated Dr. Howard J.<lb/>
McCinnis, registrar.<lb/>
The number of men students this<lb/>
quarter changed but little from the<lb/>
number here in the fall. There were<lb/>
forty-nine registered for the fall<lb/>
quarter; now there are forty-eight<lb/>

Jane Eyre is the romantic and<lb/>
tragic story of the love of a man and <lb/>
a woman pitter against the stormy<lb/>
background of life. Since it was first<lb/>
published as a novel back in the I<lb/>
nineteenth century, it has become a<lb/>
favorite and has never failed to<lb/>
arouse the deepest emotions of the<lb/>
readers of the English classics.<lb/>

their presentation as handsome as<lb/>
possible, with impressive scenic ef-<lb/>

Freshman-Junior dance was tht<lb/>

makers added to the occasion with<lb/>
their swing.<lb/>
Those freshmen who made the<lb/>
whole thing possible and those who<lb/>
took part in the figure with the guest<lb/>
class leaders were the following<lb/>
freshmen: John Charlton, president;<lb/>
Bat Peebles, vice-president; Cathe-<lb/>

No definite central theme had been<lb/>
chosen for decorating the gymnasium,<lb/>
but arches covered with pink and<lb/>
white roses prevailed.<lb/>
President Charlton expressed his<lb/>
appreciation of the fine cooperation<lb/>
he received in sponsoring the dance.<lb/>
"We could not have made it a success<lb/>
if our class had not given their time<lb/>

Council Charter<lb/>
For Poster Bureau<lb/>
The Poster bureau, organized by<lb/>

posters for campus organizations,<lb/>
has been granted a charter by the<lb/>
Student Cooperative council.<lb/>
The bureau is composed of the fol-<lb/>
lowing students. Chairman Virginia<lb/>
Rouse, Elizabeth Cox Jenkins, Fran-<lb/>
ces Radcliffe, and Lou Lassiter. Ad-<lb/>
viser for the group is Miss Madelon<lb/>
Powers, art instructor.<lb/>
It was organized to standardize the<lb/>
making of posters on the campus.<lb/>
Members of the bureau must charge<lb/>
set prices of forty, sixty or eighty<lb/>
cents, depending on the size of the<lb/>
posters, for each one made. All pos-<lb/>
ters must be subscribed for through<lb/>
the bureau. The bureau furnishes its<lb/>
own materials.<lb/>
Elizabeth Cox Jenkins states, "Wc<lb/>
think that we can give the campus<lb/>
organizations better posters by hav-<lb/>
ing a centralized plan in effect<lb/>
"The students and teachers at East<lb/>
Carolina Teachers college surely are<lb/>

Gretchen Webster and Alice Wiggins<lb/>
who look after the postal exchange.<lb/>
These two students had just com-<lb/>

It must be remembered that this<lb/>
work is only a side issue with them�<lb/>

Amanda Etherdge, secretary of the<lb/>
Student Cooperative council, and Mar-<lb/>
guerite Ricks have been elected by<lb/>
the members of the council to repre-<lb/>
sent the student body on the discipline<lb/>
committee.<lb/>
According to the present Constitu-<lb/>
tion the SCC elects two student mem-<lb/>
bers to serve on the discipline com-<lb/>
mittee. The faculty is represented<lb/>
by three teachers.<lb/>
they look at the figures and realized<lb/>
that there had been more than 9,000<lb/>
chances to muff a piece by putting it<lb/>
in the wrong box�but that seldom<lb/>
happens.<lb/>
During the past three years Gret-<lb/>
chen and Alice have been putting up<lb/>
your letters, papers, notices, post<lb/>
cards, circulars, and every sort of<lb/>
postal material that will go into the<lb/>
549 cubby holes�boxes�assigned to<lb/>
your convenience. They have been<lb/>
handling with tender care your in-<lb/>
sured and uninsured packages, big,<lb/>
small, square, round, oblong, neatly<lb/>
wrapped, tattered, battered, stale,<lb/>
fresh, etc etc. They have sold you<lb/>
hundreds of dollars worth of beauti-<lb/>
ful "steel engravings" produced by<lb/>
your Uncle Sam (postage stamps and<lb/>
post cards), and it has been done with<lb/>
a skill and courtesy that is remark-<lb/>
able.<lb/>
received, if you get your mail on the<lb/>
campus of ECTC.<lb/>
During the week of December 5-11,<lb/>
inclusive � seven days � fifteen<lb/>
thousand three hundred eighty-two<lb/>
(15,382) different pieces of mail<lb/>
passed through the College Exchange.<lb/>
That is enough to fill about thirty-<lb/>
five standard mail sacks and it is<lb/>
some load for the postman who lugs<lb/>
it in from his truck, often through a<lb/>
milling group of students and faculty<lb/>
to the Exchange room, or vice versa.<lb/>
Broken down, these figures shape<lb/>
up this way:<lb/>
Incoming mail�First Class (letters<lb/>
from John, Bob, and Mom)�6,311<lb/>
Second Class (the home paper,<lb/>
etc.)�S83<lb/>
Fourth Class (that box candy, etc)<lb/>
�311<lb/>
Drop Mail (notices of Important<lb/>
class meetings, etc.)�1,635.<lb/>
That is a total of 9,140 pieces to be<lb/>
put in your boxes or handed to you<lb/>
personally with a smile, for which<lb/>
you are kind enough to reciprocate,<lb/>
we hope.<lb/>
Fifty-seven of those 311 packages<lb/>
were insured and had to be signed<lb/>
for on the dotted line.<lb/>
The story of outgoing mail is<lb/>
short, but it made up a sizeable pile,<lb/>
namely, 6,216 pieces of First Class<lb/>
(billet deaux of sweet nothings, af-<lb/>
fection and business) and 26 pack-<lb/>
ages of this, that, and the other, for<lb/>
a total of 6,242 pieces.<lb/>
Now, let's break it all down some<lb/>
more. The average number of pieces<lb/>
handled each day in the College Ex-<lb/>
change was 2,053. Sunday was a<lb/>
light day with only 1,250 pieces to be<lb/>
handled. Saturday was the big day<lb/>
with 2,565 pieces passing through<lb/>
the office. But Wednesday with<lb/>
2,497 and Thursday with 2,467 were<lb/>
not far behind.<lb/>
Sunday and Monday were the only<lb/>
days when fewer than 2,000 pieces<lb/>
were handled by the Exchange<lb/>
lassies.<lb/>
You will notice that the First Class<lb/>
mail�incoming 6,311 pieces and out-<lb/>
going 6,216 pieces�makes up the<lb/>
larger part, as would be expected, or<lb/>

�<lb/>
Students' Carelessness Encourages<lb/>
Deterioration OF Equipment<lb/>
When the new constitution was put in-<lb/>
to effect, one of the changes which it<lb/>
brought about was in the entertainment and<lb/>
soc i a 1 committees. Correspondingly a<lb/>
change occurred in methods used to carry on<lb/>
:ing program in the Wright building<lb/>
the we k and on Saturday<lb/>
nights when there wasn't a scheduled enter-<lb/>
tainment. En the past this situation has<lb/>
. handled very efficiently by the hiring<lb/>
( f at least me person, and at times two, to<lb/>
haw charge of playing the records and the<lb/>
imr care of both the records and the<lb/>
hine. This system was ideal in that only<lb/>
or two responsible persons ever had the<lb/>
key or played the records, thus insuring bet-<lb/>
care of the expensive record-player and<lb/>
the s ec rds.<lb/>
The designation of one or two people to<lb/>
e s le charge of the equipment is an ab-<lb/>
si lute necessity, not only for the care of the<lb/>
records and the machine but also for full en-<lb/>
tert linment value for the students. This<lb/>
rd lesson has been proved this year to an<lb/>
tenl which has been very destructive and<lb/>
unsatisfacti ry. This year no one person has<lb/>
en in charge of the dancing hours. Such<lb/>
inefficiency has brought on the inevitably<lb/>
unfortunal results. There are no new<lb/>
 The few which might be classed<lb/>
tched and worn and the<lb/>
ampered with in such a<lb/>
ond repair. One can<lb/>
� hal there is no point in<lb/>
ing nev� records that pass through many<lb/>
diffi rent and careless hands. Records are<lb/>
broken, misplaced, lost, and scratched with<lb/>
careless and irresponsible handling.<lb/>
The most regrettable factor is the<lb/>
present condition of the record machine.<lb/>
The laek of attending care it should receive<lb/>
has brought on unnecessary deterioration.<lb/>
dinarily such machines are valuable, but<lb/>
v. they are doubly so because of the war-<lb/>
tin e shortage. Record players such as this<lb/>
ne cannot be replaced for years.<lb/>
S me ni rhts after everyone else has left<lb/>
the building the machine is left on. The dial<lb/>
ng the 1 ne quality has been ren-<lb/>
1 ly useless and the quality of<lb/>
ne seriously impaired. Thus one can<lb/>
r adily see that a remedy is needed immedi-<lb/>
acy. The best suggestion for changing such<lb/>
a situation is by designating one or two<lb/>
people to have complete responsibility for<lb/>
peri : s of dancing. But, to insure the<lb/>
at of this plan, the sug-<lb/>
� ' ment that<lb/>
be tassed as a job<lb/>
student who is appointed for<lb/>
be paid regular hourly wages on<lb/>
the basis of the self-help plan.<lb/>
The writer does not wish to accuse any<lb/>
one person or committee for allowing such<lb/>
a situation to arise and grow into the prob-<lb/>
;t now is. It is one of those things<lb/>
which have happened because of the lack of<lb/>
ht f all who have worked together<lb/>
the change brought on by the new<lb/>
cousi iuu ion.<lb/>
Since the responsible group of the cam-<lb/>
pus is the Student Cooperative council, we<lb/>
deem it the duty of that group to alleviate<lb/>
this unfortunate situation with better or-<lb/>
ith a discontinuance of the<lb/>

whom they shall vest the powers of office to<lb/>
lead the activities of the campus. Prime<lb/>
among these officers is the president of the<lb/>
Student Cooperative council. The past can<lb/>
boast of good leaders and it is up to the<lb/>
present student body to see that this tradi-<lb/>
ti nal factor is not lost.<lb/>
To be a vital and effective organiza-<lb/>
tion, it is necessary that the student council<lb/>
have as its head a person who is fully capable<lb/>
of handling the responsbilities involved.<lb/>
The jerson who is elected to this posi-<lb/>
tion should, it seems, be one who inspires<lb/>
respect from his fellow students, one whom<lb/>
they will accept as a leader and with whom<lb/>
they will cooperate willingly.<lb/>
Independence and dependability are<lb/>
vitally needed by a student council president.<lb/>
These two characteristics are especially de-<lb/>
sirable when this officer is required to face<lb/>
personally an emergency as well as when he<lb/>
is performing his regular duties.<lb/>
Frequently a student president of the<lb/>
executive council is faced with the problem<lb/>
of passing judgment on the suggestions<lb/>
made by some person in authority. To do<lb/>
so wisely, thereby preserving the spirit of<lb/>
democratic living, is an essential responsi-<lb/>
bility of the student president.<lb/>
Such situations require a person with a<lb/>
sane perspective, sound judgment and un-<lb/>
biased viewpoints in order to safeguard<lb/>
freedom of thought, speech and action in a<lb/>
world which is now struggling to decide<lb/>
whether a dictatorship or a democracy shall<lb/>
reign supreme.<lb/>
Athletes Need Hearty<lb/>
Cheers To Win<lb/>
It may seem elementary to the sophisti-<lb/>
cated readers of a college newspaper to men-<lb/>
tion the subject of school spirit in connection<lb/>
with support of the athletic programs of-<lb/>
fered to all students who wish to participate.<lb/>
However, something needs to be said about<lb/>
the poor attendance at the college athletic<lb/>
contests.<lb/>
Through an intramural program, thehe<lb/>
is much to be derived from entering into the<lb/>
spirit of keen, but friendly, rivalry between<lb/>
the teams on the campus.<lb/>
Thus far this quarter there have been<lb/>
played about a half-dozen games and the at-<lb/>
n c c a 1 . - : . all -t mi 1<lb/>
low. Such acti ities, though one enters in-<lb/>
to them only as a spectator, carry with them<lb/>
as many factors of good education as one<lb/>
can get in the classroom.<lb/>
Come on. students, support these<lb/>
athletic events! The players need your<lb/>
morale-building cheers.<lb/>
Oh, yesThere Is<lb/>
A War On!<lb/>
by Mary Alice Charlton<lb/>
"Good-morning comes a cheery voice<lb/>
from a uniform standing outside the dorm-<lb/>
itory to the college girl squinting out of her<lb/>
window to determine the day's weather.<lb/>
"A uniform wonders the girl as she<lb/>
laboriously pulls at the shade and slumps<lb/>
drowsily back into the covers. "Oh.yeah, a<lb/>
marine she thinks sleepily as she remem-<lb/>
bers the time and present situation. "What<lb/>
a ghastly war Then the idea strikes her<lb/>
that the day is Sunday and the fortunate<lb/>
ones from the nearby marine base have fled<lb/>
from the camp and migrated to different<lb/>
towns, chiefly to Greenville.<lb/>
With this thought to urge her onward,<lb/>
Miss College arises, wanders over to break-<lb/>
fast to sit down to a meal that really em-<lb/>
phasizes the fact that somewhere there is a<lb/>
war being fought. That means no bacon,<lb/>
for one thing. She eats somewhat languidly<lb/>
and after scraping her plate because of the<lb/>
shortage-of-labor situation, Miss C. goes<lb/>
back to her room to dress for church. As<lb/>
she takes down her new suit, she holds it up<lb/>
to her as though she had not tried it on doz-<lb/>
ens of times already.<lb/>
"This suit would be so much cuter if the<lb/>
kirt were just a little fuller she laments.<lb/>
"Remember the war says her room-<lb/>
mate as she stretches her head underneath<lb/>
the dresser to retrieve a precious bob-pin<lb/>
which had fallen in the midst of a week's<lb/>
accumulated dust. "The skirts are much<lb/>
narrower now. I guess pretty clothes are<lb/>
out until after the victory<lb/>
Miss College completes her primping,<lb/>
attends church and returns to spend the<lb/>
afternoon building up the morale of some<lb/>
homesick marine. Then it's back in the<lb/>
dorm to term papers, jam sessions, etc.<lb/>
Monday, the same old cycle is lived<lb/>
through�breakfast, hurried preparation for<lb/>
her first period class where she studies the<lb/>
war in relation to history. In the afternoon<lb/>
Miss College spends whatever spare time<lb/>
the teachers allow her with knitting a sweat-<lb/>
er for an unfortunate soldier�in this case,<lb/>
unfortunate, because it is her first bit of<lb/>
handicraft. Evening comes and the patri-<lb/>
otic little college girl dons a white gauze<lb/>
over her hair and proceeds down to the Red<lb/>
Cross Room to roll bandages to help the<lb/>
cause. After doing her patriotic duty for a<lb/>
good half hour she goes over to the Campus<lb/>
building to dance, and again is reminded of<lb/>
the war. She notices a boy�and how<lb/>
scarce they are!�with a crowd of girls<lb/>
standing around watching him as if he were<lb/>
some valuable museum piece. Tearing<lb/>
through the crowd, Miss College bravely<lb/>
breaks on him.<lb/>
"Are you going home next week-end?"<lb/>
he asks her, as they take a few seps be-<lb/>
tween breaks.<lb/>
"No, Dad won't come after me because<lb/>
of the gas and tire shortages and the buses<lb/>
are so irregular nowadays that I'm afraid I<lb/>
won't get back on time if I stay any while<lb/>
at all, so I guess I won't go she replies<lb/>
sadly, as another girl cuts in on her.<lb/>
Dancing is over and it is off to her<lb/>
dorm room to study�this time about the<lb/>
changing geographical conditions brought on<lb/>
by a war-torn world.<lb/>
This done Miss College throws down her<lb/>
book with a sigh. "Oh. dear, I really would<lb/>
like to shampoo my hair, but no bob-pins.<lb/>
Oh, to have been born with curls With<lb/>
the shampoo nipped in the bud, she prepares<lb/>
for bed. After forcing the last bit of tooth-<lb/>
paste from the tube, she lifts her arm to aim<lb/>
for the waste-basket when her roommate<lb/>
shouts, "Save that tube! We'll have to have<lb/>
it to buy more toothpaste<lb/>
"Why? Oh, yes, of course, how could I<lb/>
forget�the war<lb/>

to Miss Graham of many interesting things<lb/>
that have happened since he left the states.<lb/>
He has been in South America, Africa, India<lb/>
and is now in China. "I have visited the<lb/>
Taj-Mahal one of the seven wonders of the<lb/>
world, and man's greatest memorial to a<lb/>
woman. "I have to say that was one of the<lb/>
most beautiful and magnificent works of<lb/>

"I like China very much better than<lb/>
India. The people here are happier, and<lb/>
have a few silly customs. Men, women,<lb/>
boys and girls all walk around on the streets<lb/>
as they do in the United States. They like<lb/>
us very much and I honestly believe their<lb/>
hospitality toward us, particularly pilots, is<lb/>
unequaled anywhere else in the world. It is<lb/>
almost unbelievable the things they will do<lb/>
to aid us. I don't see how any people could<lb/>
endure as much war as they have and be so<lb/>
jolly and optimistic.<lb/>
"I only wish the people at home could<lb/>
see the war as we see it and maybe they<lb/>
would quit celebrating an early victory and<lb/>
continue to work hard.<lb/>

Dave Owen's powerful armada<lb/>
boiled over with energy Wednesday<lb/>
night. January 19, and completely<lb/>
routed Beverly Cutler's Little Bom-<lb/>
bardiers, who must have been "up-<lb/>
stairs" while the game was under-<lb/>
way. Taking a very early lead, and<lb/>
building up a wide margin, the con-<lb/>
test was merely a practice session for<lb/>
Owens and his Sky-scrapers, piling<lb/>
up a score of 77-16.<lb/>
The first half ended with the score<lb/>
43-4. The Midgets put on a rally in<lb/>
the second half, especially in the<lb/>
fourth period and ran up their score<lb/>
a bit, but they were far out of range,<lb/>
the game ending 77-16.<lb/>

Wait 'til you get to be a senior!<lb/>
Then you can ramble on with the in-<lb/>
evitably favorite topic of young ECTC<lb/>
pedagogues-to-be�practice teaching.<lb/>
Such an ordeal really has its ups<lb/>
and downs. There are lesson plans<lb/>
to struggle over, movies to miss be-<lb/>
cause there are conferences with<lb/>
critic teachers and advisers, papers<lb/>
to grade or throw to the gaping<lb/>
mouth of waste backets and inquisi-<lb/>

dreamed of having to answer since<lb/>
even the educational geniuses haven't<lb/>
as yet discovered their answers.<lb/>

I don't seem to know the answers<lb/>

So far everybody else I know has<lb/>

Dear Moron,<lb/>
I sat down, pencil in hand, to type<lb/>
you a letter. Pardon the pen.<lb/>
I don't live where I lived before<lb/>
because I moved to where I live now.<lb/>
When you come to see me you can<lb/>
ak anyone where I live for no one<lb/>
knows.<lb/>
I'm sorry we're so far together, I<lb/>
wih we were closer apart. My Aunt<lb/>
Julia died and is doing fine�she<lb/>
� aid tell you "hello I hope you are<lb/>
doing the same.<lb/>
I started to Greenville to see you.<lb/>
I saw a sign saying, "This takes you<lb/>
to Greenville Well, I got on the<lb/>
; sign and sat there three hours and<lb/>
! the old thing didn't move! But I'll<lb/>
there the second Saturday of next�<lb/>
j week, regardless!<lb/>
I am mailing you a coat by ex-<lb/>
teeth to get one of them to answer i press. I cut the buttons off to make<lb/>
one of your questions.<lb/>
But, don't let's get too excited, for<lb/>
it won't be long now before it'll all<lb/>
be over and we can go out into a<lb/>
teaching world of our own, patterned<lb/>
from that of our grandmother's day<lb/>

NOTES ON BOND<lb/>
DRIVES<lb/>
The editorial staff of the Woodrow<lb/>
Wilson high school paper (Dallas,<lb/>
Texas) launched a War Savings cam-<lb/>
paign around the purchase of a jeep�<lb/>
"Jasper Jeep" to be specific. Jasper's<lb/>
popularity grew so swiftly that he<lb/>
was provided with a wife, Josephine,<lb/>
and a son, Jackson. Within four<lb/>
months of sales, there were nineteen<lb/>
members of the jeep family.<lb/>
it lighter. They are in the pockets! j<lb/>
Hon, if you don't get this letter by<lb/>
any chance, let me know and I'll mail<lb/>
it to ya!<lb/>
Our neighbors' baby swallowed<lb/>
some pins, but they fed it a pin <lb/>
cushion, so everything is all right <lb/>
now.<lb/>
I would have sent you the six dol-<lb/>
lars I owe ya'�but I sealed this let-<lb/>
ter before I thought of it. I'll mail<lb/>
it in my next postcard.<lb/>
Sincerely, not yours, but Some-<lb/>
body else's�<lb/>
P. S. Enclosed you will find a picture<lb/>
of me�but for fear of losing it, I<lb/>
took it out.<lb/>
Victory Requires<lb/>
100 Percenters<lb/>
Classroom standards don't hold<lb/>
good on the battlefield. Former col-<lb/>
lege men now stationed at remote<lb/>
Army posts are learning that there<lb/>
is no "coasting through" this war.<lb/>
A soldier on a South Pacific island<lb/>
won't get by a Jap sniper with only<lb/>
65 per cent alertness A torpedoed<lb/>
sailor won't survive xn a life raft<lb/>
with only TO per cent of the necessary<lb/>
endurance. In those tests of war<lb/>
there is no middle ground. A man<lb/>
excels or fails.<lb/>
We who still enjoy the security of<lb/>
the campus ale being tested too. We<lb/>
are up for exams in faith, under-<lb/>
standing and effort in the war pro-<lb/>
gram. A 65 per cent belief in de-<lb/>
mocracy is not enough. A fair un-<lb/>
derstanding of our war eeonomv<lb/>
j won't do. We can't crib through this<lb/>
; war by leaving it up to our fellow<lb/>
students to do the saving aivi econo-<lb/>
 Busing necessary to prevent inflation.<lb/>
We who have so much to gain in a<lb/>
sound post-war world cannot be satis-<lb/>
fied with less than excellent in these<lb/>
j crucial tests. We must give com-<lb/>
plete support to the War Savings<lb/>
