treasurer, appeared before the Ad-
visory Budget commission of the
1946 General Assembly of North
Carolina on October 10 to present the
plans discussed with the Board of
Trustees, the Faculty Advisory coun-
cil and various alumni for general
improvement and enlargement on the
ECTC campus. Dr. McGinnis and
Mr. Duncan emphazied the particular
j needs of the college in their budget
j requests.
New buildings requested in the
budget are a student union, health
and physical education building, a
boys dormitorq, a girls dormitory and
a dormitory for women teachers. The
student union building will contain
rooms for various student activities,
such as the Student Government asso-
ciation, college newspapers and socie-
ties, student stores, a small auditor-
ium and stage for work in dramatics,
an alumni lounge and alumni office,
a college post office and a small din-
ing room and kitchen where small

Ragsdale hall will be converted in-
to a dormitory for men students, who
have been inadequately housed in a
portion of this dormitory. This will
nable the college to accommodate
more men students.
Before the present war our dormi-
tory space was inadequate to house
the number of women students apply-
ing- for rooms on the campus. A de-
cided increase in enrollment is ex-
I ected after armistice, and the same
conditions will return if not im-
mediately provided for, since only a
few students can find accommoda-
tions in private homes in the city.
The dormitory for women faculty-
members is expected to be smaller
and more appropriate. It will be able
to accommodate around forty women
members of the staff.
Other items which are also receiv-
ing consideration at this time are
those presented to the Public Works
reserve in November, 1941.
Requested additions to the college
staff included a director of public
relations and student welfare, a dean
of the college, a director of practice

additional teachers in 1945-46, and

Solution Suggested.
To Lights-Out Problem
Dr. F. P. Brook's suggestion to the ef-
fect that students be made to turn out their
lights earlier so they can get more sleep is a
good one. However, there are two sides to
every question.
That students need plenty of sleep is
not questioned. There are times, however,
when some students have more studying
than they can complete by 10:30 or 11:00.
There are good arguments for both
points of view on this question. We are not
going to take a stand on either side. Instead,
we should like to make the following sug-
gestion as a solution:
Since the library is open from 6:30 tii
9:30 each night, students who wish to study
at night will go to the library. The dormi-
tories will be under no restrictions before
9:30. After 9:30, however, there would be
enforced quiet in the dormitories; the lights
could go out at 11:30 or 12:00. There
should be no enforced study hours�the
studying should be optional with the student.
Students who find it necessary to study
later than 11:30 may get permission from
the heads of the dormitories.
This suggestion may not be the best
plan, but it seems that such a plan will work
if it receives the cooperation of all con-
cerned.
Need Wider Participation
In School Activities
Extra-curricular activities form a very
important part of the education of the stu-
dents; the students who take an active part
�r�di�e:
Expansion Necessary
To Progress Of College
The postwar expansion program for the
college, as announced by the Board of
Trustees, is welcomed as a progressive step
toward fulfilling some of the long-felt needs
of the college.
As long as the college is hampered by
lack facilities to accommodate a large num-
ber of students, its progress will surely be
slow. If ECTC is to advance rapidly, it
will be necessary, therefore, to expand the
college plant to meet the demands made upon
it.
A student union building as proposed
by the Trustees would provide club rooms
for the various campus organizations. This
would do away with the necessity of using
classrooms for meeting places, which gener-
ally are not satisfactory.
The crowded and generally poor living
quarters now provided for the men students
are inadequate and are definitely not at-
tractive to a boy planning to spend four
years in college here. It is quite likely that
a great many more boys will attend ECTC
after the war if larger and more suitable
living quarters are available.
With the present emphasis on health and
health and physical fitness it is evident that
we are not properly equipped to carry on a
really effective physical education program.
Therefore, we are most anxious to secure a
modern and well-equipped gymnasium.
As an aid in making ECTC better able
to meet the needs of the future, then, we
must have a larger school plant. This col-
lege is like a child who outgrows his clothes
�the college is outgrowing its present facil-
ities, and expansion is the only solution.
Welcome Extended
To Freshman Class
We take pleasure in welcoming to
ECTC such a large freshman class.
In these days when high-salaried jobs
are so attractive to boys and girls just out
of high school, it is very gratifying to see so
many of them deciding to go on to college.
Many of the leading educators of the coun-
try are urging young people to continue
their education rather than yield to the
temptations of high-salaried jobs that are
available.
In a few years, we, the youth of today,
will be running things in this country, and
now is the time to get the education and
training that will fit us for the job.
On the lighter side, it has been said fre-
quently that one's school days are the
happiest days of his life. This is probably"
true. However, the student must put forth
some effort to make them happy in order to
get the most out of college. This happiness
doesn't just come accidentally.
Students, you freshmen in particular,
should spend a reasonable amount of time
studying. All students should participate in
extra-curricular activities to some extent.
And last, students should take time to enjoy
the social life of the college. No one of these
three things should be neglected�it takes
all of them to make the picture complete.
It is up to you now, freshmen; it is your
turn to take the ball. Carry It well!

in these things find them to be both bene-
ficial and a lot of fun.
A wide variety of extra-curricular activi-
ties is offered at ECTC. Students have
their choice of newspaper and magazine
work, dramatics, the "V's fraternities,
literary societies, museum and science
clubs, debating and many others.
There are too many students who take
no active part in the activities outside the
classroom. There must be some reason for
this. Either they are not interested, or
they feel it a waste of time, or maybe they
are a little timid about joining clubs.
Whatever reason, we fee that all stu-
dents should participate in the extra-cur-
ricular activities to some extent. It makes
for more enjoyment of school life.
WITH THE ARMED FORCES
By Jean Goggin
At last news has come that Lt. Walter
-Mallard is a prisoner of war in Germany.
Walter was a co-pilot of a B-24 and was re-
ported missing after a bombing mission
over Germany on May 19. August 11 he was
reported a prisoner of war.
In a message sent to Washington
through the German propaganda agency he
stated that he was in good health and was
being given food and clothes by the Red
Cross. The message said that for a while
he was uncaptured.
Walter took part in all sports while at
ECTC. He graduated in 1943.
Lt. ijix) Sam Dees writes from the
Marshall Islands that although the paper is
often delayed because of irregular mail ser-
vice, he enjoys reading about his old friends.
Sam graduated with the class of '38.

Pvt. Tom ("ox. who is now stationed at
Florence. S. C, writes that he is an instruc-
tor in the Combat Crews training school.
Tom said that they turn out the "perfect"

he and Capt. Charlie Mayo, an instructor
pilot, fly down and look the old home town
and the college over. Charlie served in the
Pacific for a year.

This is written expressly for our fight-
ing men in service who receive the TECO
ECHO more or less regularly. Hows about
taking a few minutes and dropping a card
to the TECO ECHO? Tell us what you are
doing, where you are stationed, and what
your address is.
Many of our boys in service are "lost
sheep" as far as the school is concerned.
They neglect to inform us when they have
a change of address. Just as important is
the fact that when we do not hear from them,
we cannot pass on to the student body the
latest news concerning them. Remember,
fellows, there are still many interested in
what you are doing. So have a heart; sit
down today and drop us a card. You won't
be sorry!

Off we go. Yep, the army air forces
aren't the only ones that're off. For school
gals the country over are off for another
year. And it's a year with a bright fashion
future, chock-a-block full of gay ideas for
school wardrobes.
Flared Skirts, soft blouses and weskits
teamed together make campus outfits which
bring cheers from the grand-stand. A real
school gal still clings to her skirts and
sweaters, yes, but now she gives a cold
shoulder to the sloppy look and appears for
classes trim, and neat as a pin. Her built-
up skirts, worn with blouses or sweaters
tucked in, are belted at the waistline and
from the belt dangles a matching leather fob,
p'rhaps with her named spelled on it.
Casual dresses sport broadened should-
ers, as what doesn't? For broad shoulders
are definitely a Fall, 1944 look. Slim skirts
are good, but if you'll keep a weathered eye
peeled to the future, you'll begin to see full-
er skirts. In our cute casual dress, McCall

roommate Bessie Council.
Dot hails from Farmville. She was
almost a fire cracker since her birthday is
July 3. She has been very active in campus
and religious activities during her years at
ECTC. For four years Dot has been a mem-
ber of the YWCA, Poe society, commerce
and English clubs. Last year she held the
responsible position as the first president ol
the Student Cooperative Government as

effective'job. So, hats off to Dot for a good
start.
This year Dot has many responsible
jobs. Other than managing the studid
stores, she is treasurer of Women's Judi-
ciary, chief marshal, president of the Wes-

committee and a member (charter) of the
Pi Omega Pi honorary fraternity.

league here at the college field at
4:15 October 13th. The Mustangs
were slow to get started but zummed
into the win column, once heir pass-
ing and running attack got under
way.
The Warhawks managed to get a
lone score early in the 2nd quarter,
but the Mustangs came back fighting
to score in the last of the second
quarter. A touchback in the third
quarter and 2 touchdowns in the
fourth added the remaining 14 points.
First Half
The first quarter saw both teams
sizing each other up. Action began
in the first of the 2nd quarter, how-
ever, when Strickland cornered a
fumble for the Warhawks on the
j Mustangs 38-yard line. Two runs by
James Parker, captain of the War-
hawks, and a pass to Harper put the
Warhawks on the Mustang 5-yard
line. From the 5 James Parker threw
a pass to Manning who was standing
in pay dirt. The try for the extra
point was not good. Later in the
same quarter the Mustangs tied the
score when Jessie Parker made a
spectacular run from the Warhawks
40-vard line.
Teams are composed of six players.
Each team will be allowed six downs
to make a touchdown instead of the

The 2nd half was all Mustang as

Garner First Secretary
Of Alumni Association
"I like my new job immensely
said Mrs. Clem Garner, this year's
new secretary of the Alumni asso-
ciation. Mrs. Carrier, who was presi-
dent of the association last year,
recently resigned that position to
take over the duties of the new full-
time office of secretary, which has
recently been put under the super-
vision of the college. Mrs. .1. 1

president, takrs over Mrs. Garner's

Carner. ��Since 1 started in Septem-

The new secretary particulary
stressed the fact that she hoped
people would notify her of the
changes in address of servicemen, or,
if their addresses arn't as yet listed,
to let her know them. A Christmas
card is htiag sent to all men in the
armed forces, and to insure prompt
delivery she must mail them by No-
ember 15th.
"We also send copies of Teen Echo

On September 25 and 26 the eight-
en members of the Baptist Student
Union met at the Baptist Student
center, 501 East Eighth street, for
the Annual Pre-school Retreat.
The B. S. U. president, Clarine-
Johnson, presided over the four ses-
i .ns, which had as their theme "He
Must Roi.ern
On the opening night Mrs. Ethel
Waters led a discussion of the needs
to be met by the Baptist Student
Union. On the second day each mem-
ber presented her plans for the school
j ca.
The final meeting followed a picnic
supper at the Cotanche street park.
Mr. Dick Howerton, State student
. secretary, brought the closing mes-
! sage, after which the group gathered
around the campfire for a brief per-
iod ot dedication.
The students were overnight guests
in the homes of Immanuel Baptist
and Memorial Baptist churches.
Meals were provided at the center by
the two Baptist missionary societies.
Initiations Make Pledges
Do Crazy Stunts On Campus
,
It seems that the upper-classmell
had a 'heap big time last week
initiating the pledges for the socie-
ties -ah, pity n the poor pledges.
They did everything imaginable
shine shoes, clean room tor the "big
losses bum cigarettes (which, of
course, is a very gruesome job nowa-
days), propose to marine sailors
and soldiers, wash clothes, and many
other unheard-of tasks.
But the climax came Saturday
afternoon when the unlucky gals (and
one or two coeds) were ushered down
town to perform on the streets. Th�
Laniers were lead by a gorgeous Sun
goat what a stinking good time they low
had. It seem that they were i X ect-
ing a rain storm or something of the
sort because they were lugging their �-el

Speak At Vespers
Dr. Howard J. McGinnis, acting
president, addresod a host of stu-
dents, faculty members and visitors
at the Vespers hour on Sunday e
ning, October 1, at six thirty in Aus- i
tin auditorium. �
His speech was centered aroun I
the subject of religion and tie appli-
cation of the teaching of the Bible in
everyday iiie. Dr. McGinnis said
that our religious life must be a part
of our everyday life, and the two
must not be separated. We came I
college to grow in wisdom, know
edge, and preceptim. he continued.
The classroom is- merely a device
through which we musl work and
grow. We must observe and learn
the laws of the universe for they an
the laws of God, then, we must
these laws in our everyday relation-
ships with otht.s.
Dr. McCinnis said that many pe pie
use and consider the Bible as a de-
votion. He emphasized the fi
we must look upon the Bible as a
guide not only for religious life, but
everyday living as well, for it is full
of council that is very practicable in
our times.
