These rules appear elsewhere in this issue. President Etheridge read a letter from Mr. F. D. Duncan stating that See COUNCIL on Page Three f ' i t i PAGE TWO The TECO ECHO ' ! I Bring The Boys Home By Buying" War Bonds Wasn't it wonderful�that Thanks- giving dinner! The turkey a golden brown, fragrant and tempting, the steaming rice covered with rich giblet gravy, the sweet potato souffle topped with marshmallows delicately browned, the fresh string beans, the celery and olives and salted nuts, the hot buttered rolls, the mincemeat pie, and that satisfying cup of coffee�ah, such a meal would tempt the gods. The distinct pleasure of eating leisure- ly with your family, cracking the same corny jokes and exchanging a few new ones, rela- ting the experiences of the past weeks, giv- ing encouragement and receiving it. feeling a bond of understanding between all the members of the family group�these things are worth fighting for. Speaking of fighting. I wonder how the boys "over there" fared during the holidays. "K" rations are a poor substitute for turkey and dressing. Many of our boys spent the day in fox holes, others crept cautiously through sultry jungles in search of Jap snipers, some dodged German bullets watched their buddies fall beside them, quiet dinner for these boys. Hitler Tojo have seen to that. No. we at home haven't experienced the agony and self-sacrifice experienced daily by the boys over there. But we can do a lot to help bring them home sooner and so re lieve them of the hell through which they are going. We can do this by giving our whole-hearted support to the SIXTH WAR LOAN drive which is now under way. This is our duty. The boys over there aren't shirking. Can we? lean Hull. Higri Degree Of Honesty Exists Among Students Upon inquiring into the activities of the Lost and Found bureau of the college, it was learned from Prof. R.C. Deal, director of the bureau, that there exists a very high degree of honesty among the students. While outlining the work of the bureau. Prof. Deal emphasized the fact that since the founding of the Lost and Found bureau some years ago he has never known any stu- dent to claim articles not belonging to him. Though there is every opportunity for a person to claim articles belonging to others, there has been no evidence of such happen- ing. This is as it should be. and it is very gratifying to observe this fine record. Such conduct is essential to an honor system�an honor system which should, and probably does, exist throughout the college. Laurels go to Prof. Deal, who has been so successful in getting lost-and-found articles returned to their owners. JViday. December l pecem" and No and Play Night Profits To Aid World Student Service Fund Next Friday night the two "Y's" are sponsoring Play Night to raise money for the World Student Service Fund drive. The profits from Play Night will be used to help students the world over to con- tinue their education. The WSSF provides books and supplies for students and equip- ment for schools that are not supported by Church or State as here in the United States. Rather than ask for outright contribu- tions from the student body, the "Y's" are providing a night of good entertainment for a very small charge. The carnival being planned will offer dancing and a variety of games and other entertainments. Play Night offers an opportunity to kill two birds with one stone�first by having an evening full of fun and at the same time making our contribution to the World Stu- dent Service Fund.

Here comes Aggressive Aggie, lil' gal who packs such a wallop! Aggie is always ready to greet you with a hearty slap on the back which 1 oosens every tooth in your head and sends you rock- ing back on your heels. Wherever Aggie is, there you'll find confusion and plenty of bruised limbs. Let her in your room, and she's like a bull in a china shop, breaking glasses, burning holes in your best spread with her cigarette ashes, and smearing lip- stick on the cherished picture of your "dear- ly beloved After a few encounters with human tornado, the other girls get wise to Aggie's carelessness with other people's property� to say nothing of their physical well-ebing. They manage to steer clear of her presence in the halls and are always "just leaving" when she comes to their rooms. This coolness on the part of the other girls finally dawns on Aggie and she finds herself all alone and lonely with nary a soul to lend a sympathetic ear to her tale of woe. She begins to find fault with the college, with the teachers, and with her former friends. She wanders dejectedly how come the sudden brush-off. Well, Aggie, if you really want to knew, just bend close and we'll whisper into the fuzz over your good ear. The fault lies not in the school, nor the faculty, nor your friends�it lies in you. By failing to be thoughtful you have broken the basic rule of etiquette. Look around you and see if the most popular girls aren't the girls who are thoughtful and considerate of others. Take a tip from these girls, Aggie, and you won't go lacking for friends. i�� � , � - , . ��.� ,j, in i�iil�� There was a young lady of Siam Who said to her lover, Kiam, "If you kiss me, of course, You will have to use force, , But 1 bet you are stronger than I am Greetings students Well, here I am back after Thanksgiving holidays full of turkey, cranberry sauce, and ever so much gossip!

Congratula- tions, Sarah. Speaking of diamonds, Mary Alice Cahoon has a beautiful diamond too. Gosh, Eiis don't youever get tired of sitting in Fleming hall parlor? Now Jackie, all we want to know is� why didn't you wear Curtis Perkin's roses Sunday night when you were with Jack Edwards? Glad to see you two back to- gether. Oh, Elsie, what has happened to your budding romance? We miss seeing Hoyt's red convertible tearing around the campus. Have you heard? He is getting a new car! There is an attractive blonde on campus with such nack names as "Bedroom Eyes "Baby Face and many more. Now what we want to know is why does she blush when she is called such names? Frank Bonner, please make up your mind. Is it Ann, Martha, or .fffi It seems as if you did Martha rather dirty the week-end of the fraternity dance. Wonder who could be writing so many anonymous letters to students on the cam- ?? pus If anyone should wander over in the vicinity of the campus building at night, they would see all the gals giving Billie Tucker a rush!

Clad tidings pertaining to the present in- tercollegiate basketball questions are beginning to be heard all over the campus. As you know actjve inter- collegiate basketball looked out of the question at the start of this fall quarter. Only a single hope re mained and that lay in the organisa- tion of a men's athletic association, for with it financial aid might be i tained from the council. It is toward this goal that the men are Working days, hours and minute- to reach. Although no formal announcement has been made, progn far is as I relate: A week ago all men stu- dents held two "pow wows with Coach Hankner, head of the college physical education department. Li- fects of this meeting can be seen in their action of selecting a committee to draft a constitution and the spon- sorship of a men's intramural basket- ball league. The league is already in action, as can be seen elsewhere on this page. The constitution commit- tee (Hankner, Jesse Parker, James Parker, Tripp and others interested) are hard at work drafting a constitu- tion. They have almost completed it.

P I 1 PAGE FOUR The TECO ECHO Austin Stage To Be Scene Of Weird, Fascinating Drama Tonight, the stage of Austin audi- torium will be convened into the eerie stage of the St. James Theatre in oriion This spine-tickler, "A Murder Ha Been Arranged by the ingenious Kmlyn Williams, has one of the most intriguing plots of any play ever produced on the ECTC stage. A Sir Charles Jasper was to give a dinnei on the stage for the mem- ber of his family, in observance of s weird anniversary. Then, after the clock hail struck eleven, Sir Charles was to inherit the tidy figure of two million pounds. It seems that many years ago a man was slain in the theatre; a dumb girl had appeared and the ghost of the murdered man had drifted onto the stage after the numb girl's death, so that the murderer was revealed. This, ; accordinc to the prophecy, was to be repeated if anyone else were mur- Idered on the site of the first murder. A most important part in the 1 scheme of thing- ivas that Maurice Mullins, only near relative of Sir Charles's death prior to eleven o'clock on the night on which the play takes place. Unseen forces perform ghastly acts before the eyes of the audience. Horror plays havoc in the vast closed theatre and the outlookers, like the victims, are locked within to await the inevitable. Telephone wires are cut and all connections with the out- side world are lost. Outside are gay- crowds; inside there is everything to fear. You i 11 want to be there when the curtain goes up at S10 and see this novel mystery play. ECTC Swing Band Furnishes Music At Chi Pi Play One of the most unusual features of tonight's production of "A Murder Has Been Arranged" is the use of the ECTC Swing Band as a stand-in for the one hired by Sir Charles Jasper to play for his dinner party on the stage of the St. James Theatre, Lon- don. It is the first public appear- ance of the Swing Band this year and is the first time that a "live" band has played for the intermissions of a play. Richard David, saxophonist with the band, will also play the part of Cavendish, the band conductor. Other members of the band are Elizabeth Cotten. Faye Jessup, Mary Barden Taylor, Elizabeth Darden, Elizabeth Morgan. Mitchell White, Wanda Tyn- dall, Lay ton Clark and Josephine Gibson. Dorothy Peebles acts as manager for the band and Mr. Charles Fisher is the director. The Swing Band was formed last year with a view to providing experi- ence in that type of music for its members and provide music for many of the school dances.

November 10 Lucille Husketh and Mary C. Dixon reported on the Blue Ridg conference, which is the official meet ing place of the YMCA's yWCA's of the South, at Vesper- Friday nijrht, November 10. The conference was held a few miles from Black Mountain June 8-1S. The theme of the conference was "Christian Conviction P e r 0 i. a 1 Growth, Social Action which ex- presses the major concerns of the student "Y's" in the southern region. The conference, according to Lu- cille Husketh, was divided into five parts�platform addresses, seminars workships, worship periods, recrea- tion and fellowship. She told us that in one of the workshops it was found that the ECTC "Y" was the best of the YWCA's in the teacher college group, because of its organization and its work on the campus. In her report Mary C. Dixon re- ported on what she considered one of the most interesting discussions� that of "Personality Growth" by Lil- lian Smith. In the discussion the Browning's Class Has Guest Speakers Mr. Sam B. Underwood, Jr and Mr. J. Frank Harrington were guest speakers to Dr. E. R. Browning's Business Law class on November 13 and 15, respectively. Mr. Underwood, a Greenville attor- ney, discussed the major features of contacts. Mr. Harrington, clerk of the Pitt County Superior Court, explained his duties as clerk of court and told of the procedure used in try- ing a case. The Business Law class went on a field trip to a session of the court earlier this quarter. question of raw prejudice was brought up. Miss Smith said the Negro did not want social equality with the white man, but he wanted simply the chance to be a human being a chance to grow politically and economically.

Simpson Takes Pictures For College Annual By now everyone probably knows about Mr. Simpson from Simpson's Studio in Charlotte, who took in- dividual pictures of our student body for the school annual. THE TECOAN. He was here for four days and, as we found out, was a very patient man. Having had our pictures taken. we remember how hard Mr. Simpson tried to gel us to smile prettily for the birdie; and I have often wondered how many films were ruined because some of us tried to appear so solemn and studious looking. Now that we have received our proofs, I can see the smiling faces of students running around showing the pictures to everyone and trying to decide which pose is better and how- many pictures to have made. Don't take too long in deciding, fellow stu- dent or you may get left out. Forensic Club Discusses Politics On November 2, the Jarvis Foren- sic club had a program on current political affairs. The vice-president and program chairman, Jesse L. Carter, introduced t h o speakers. Short talks for the Democratic presi- dential nominee. Franklin I). Roose- velt, were made by Elsie West and Christine Yarborough. Upholding, for the night at least, the other major political party, the Republicans, were Amanda Etheridge and Helen Rouse, who to a typically southern audience called attention to the com- mendable qualifications of Thomas E. Dewey. The new debate question, which has just recently been announced, was read to the club by the president, Tommie Averitte. It is upon this topic, resolved: "That the federal government should enact legislation requiring compulsory arbitration of all labor disputes that our teams will debate in the Grand Eastern Forensic tournament, which is to be held in Charlotte from April 5 to 7, 1945. After a report by the radio pro- gram committee and some discussion by the club on the subject, it was de- cided to present, when it came the club's turn, several talks to be made on subjects of interest by various members of the Jarvis Forensic.
