WHAT-HAVE-YOU
By Bob Martin
What student isn't beaming with pride
. er our new moving picture projection ma-
chine and new screen? Indeed it makes
lite a difference and a body can really sit
ck and enjoy a show without straining
i t or tr.
There is the one going around about
male instructor who was instructing
f nale war worker how to rivet. He said,
"111 hold the rivet in place and when I nod
my head, you hit it he did and he woke
in the hospital the next day.
It looks now, according to many, as the
C liege will ie saved, from the deepest depths
of disgrace and despair. As the suggested
change of one archaic rule referring to
walking dates on campus, was not adopted
a1 mass meeting, students therefore no
longer can be accused of being "drunk with
��. and of throwing away the rule
b ok Without a doubt, changing time limit
from 7:45 to 10:15 for walking dates on the
campus, and we meant front campus and
ii' t back campus or arboretum, is nothing
- ni of extreme radicalism, but what is
a radical if not one who has a difference
of opinion.
Perhaps many students voted without
c nsidering the question from all angles, at
least there was no opportunity of hearing
more points either pro or con. Then the
p werful prestige speech remained utter-
most in their minds, and as good lambs
lowed the shepherd. Evidently there was
no consideration of the inadequacies of the
parlors, as to size or comfort. Especially
is comfort important with such hot weather.
Several students who objected to chang-
ing the rule, objected not to walking dates
the front campus after 7:45. but rather
to any wholesale "smooching" on the cam-
pus, or for instance a girl sitting and a
y lying beside her. Then why not make
a rule�"No smooching on the campus or
lying on the ground or any other
d m's. but fnt prohibiting dating on the
: nt campus after 7:45. In contrast if one
� iected, ir example, to "smooching" in
Wright building during a dance, then if
they were consistent they would advocate
not having the dance and closing the Wright
building.
Have students been misled into saying
by their votes, that they are incapable of
judging their course of action if on the
nt campus after 7:45? That they might
be guilty of bringing disgrace to the college
by sitting on front or side steps of dormi-
tories. That they are irresponsible "chil-
dren" who cannot be trusted out of the sight
"watchful" eyes to walk two or three
times from Cotten to Wilson halls and back.
That sitting on the curb is immoral, and
such conduct would be unbecoming ladies
and gentlemen. That they have no sense
whatsoever of right and wrong, and thus
cann�.t be let out of the "fold" to have a
walking date between 7:45 and 10:15. Ask
yourself, students? Was I misled? Did I
make a hasty decision? Did I reallv think
the thing through? Would it not be well
within reason to allow dating on front cam-
pus till 10:15. with certain provisions, and
f course nothing extreme? Did I not come
t school to leurn and to acquire knowledge
thus bettering myself, but also to have re-
laxation and recreation, without being
"cooped" up in a parlor?
After such an outburst we offer this
lament 'i' the science professor to return
tie reader to normal. Note from the pro-
fessor to a parent: "I must caution you
about your son. I caught him cheating in
his botany examination. He had seven
tlowers in his buttonhole and a quantity

It seems that jealousy can't even be left

Letters To The Editor
Ed. Note: This column is for the
purpose of giving the students a chance
to express their opinions on any matter
iii any manner they see fit. Such a
column helps to uphold the right of
"freedom of the press Any material
printed in this column is not necessarily
endorsed by the paper. It is just an
individual's opinion.)
To the Editor:
Just what are the girls at ECTC sup-
posed to do on a date? Why treat us as
though we are still two years old? Can't
anyone be trusted around this place? It
seems that all the honor we've been hearing
so much about in mass meetings is merely
a bunch of bush-wha and evidently we
don't have any honor at all; at least every-
thing is pointing that way at present.
What is our beautiful campus for, any-
way, if we can't even walk around on it
after 7:45 p. m. Wouldn't you rather
see girls and their dates out on front cam-
pus than out in town somewhere? It seems
that we are going a little too far when we
have to say that in order to get out of the
parlor with a date at night the couple has
to leave the campus; yet isn't that exactly
what we are saying. You'll have to agree
that that sounds more like a concentration
camp than a college in a democratic country.
Anyway, not all the girls are allowed off
the campus at night so what do you think
these people are going to do? I suppose you
expect the freshmen to be content to sit
around in a hot. stuffy parlor while every-
one else goes downtown.
The parlors do not have sufficient room
to accommodate all the girls who have dates.
Even if they did, it is too pleasant outside
to make human being stay shut up in a hot
parlor every night. After all we are human
i.nd would greatly appreciate being treated
as such.
What is wrong with our sitting out
front on the benches? The benches were
made to sit on and there is sufficient light-
ing on our porches and out front so that
no harm could possibly come from permit-
ting us a perfectly normal privilege of a
citizen in a civilized world.
This is supposed to be an institution
of learning: one in which we learn to face
the facts and problems of life; one in which
we are to be taught to uphold the morals
of this nation; and one in which we learn
to be our own judges. May I ask how we
are going to learn these things if we are
not given a chance to approach them in our
college life, much less put them into use?
Never yet has there been an animal chained
down or caged that didn't go wild when
turned loose. That is exactly what will
happen to the girls when they graduate
from here if there are any left when we
get through enforcing such rules.
It's just not human! We don't sit in
STUDENT SPOTLIGHT

Well, to Start with, she just loves chocolate ice cream
and playing croquet. And she likes to collect poems, too.
She is a member of the Methodist Student association
and was worship chairman during her sophomore year.
She belongs to the YWCA. Last year she was forum
chairman of the YW, and this year she is religious educa-
tion chairman.
Next she is�oh. yes, we forgot to tell you�we are

"I plan to teach for the first year or two and after

Getting back to her varied activities, we find that she
is a member of the Future Teachers of America, of which
she is state secretary. Last year she was vice-president
of the FTA.
Because of her varied activities at ECTC, a write-up
of Mabel Spence will appear in this year's edition of
Who's Who Among Students in American
Universities and Colleges. She was selected
as the most intellectual student in the senior
class.

Bits o' Fashion
BY SUE
Here comes the summer! Don't you
feel like singing? In bygone days the favo-
rite fashion ad for summer was that of a
love-ly girl pictured leaning against a post
in a beautiful, filmy dress, with full skirt
which floated gracefully down to the floor.
Now such pictures are about as scarce
as hen's teeth, for all the fashion magazines
advise the slim, street-length sheath of a
dress for dining and dancing.
But for a real occasion nothing seems
to fit but the pretty feminine floor-length
creation, and if you'll drag out ye old spy-
glass, you'll find a very few of the long
genuine evening dresses claiming pre-war
loveliness, if not prewar yardage.
And such come-hither charm will be-
deck all Juniors and Seniors on Saturday
night. I'm sure, for the annual Junior-
Senior.
The cutest and most practical in the
new floor-length evening dress is COTTON.
Vogue features a red and white striped
cotton dress with full pleated (within reg-
ulations of WPB) skirt, white fitted bodice
with wide bands of piping of the red and
white striped. It's definitely the type of
dress for a Plain Jane or for an "informal
evening" as Vogut puts it.

Keith, you belong in the society of the
Mormons. Can't you settle with one? Come
on. now, just try real hard. It's been done
before.
Fenner certainly has blossomed out,
come spring. Okay, girls, don't race so hard.
We have confidential information that
women are not down his line.
Who was that man that Jean Goggin
had all last week-end? Say, let us in on
this. We're interested.
Boe Alston's brother can come sit in
the parlor with me any night. Say, Cheat-
ham, don't rush back to Louisburg. We'd
like having you around a long time.
Since the play YOU CAN'T TAKE
IT WITH YOU (we're going to charge you
ad prices soon) is keeping Doug absorbed
in his lead. Jimmie Warren has decided
to step in and take over Doug's place with
Hazel. Anyway, taking her to the movies
is a good way to start out.
Former-editor Jenkins was in town
this week and straightway he paid Betty
Batson a visit. Maybe there is something
more to that than meets the eye.
Who is Layton Clark interested in�
Jackie or Roommate Dot? It's first one
and then the other.
Have the Fleming hall girls gone out
of the picture? We can't dig up a thing on
them, and we know that Garnette, Doris,
Baby, Inez. Anne, and the rest of the cuties
do keep the Marines plenty busy. We must
be off the beam or they just know how to
keep their activities quiet.

At present we students are coming here
because we wanted to. We liked the privi-
leges that were given us. We liked the way
in which things were carried out. We liked
the way the student body of ECTC was
being trusted and put on its honor. How
long do you think such reasons will hold
true if we are bound down, hand and foot?
How many girls are going to encourage
their friends to enroll? How many girls are
going to return next year and the years
following?
Don't you think that we are capable of
thinking through this matter and consider-
ing it from more angles than it has been
considered so far? Well, then, let's do so
before we take any drastic steps. Remem-
ber, we are supposed to be intelligent col-
lege students and we wish to be treated
as if we were out of kindergarten.
