He began by outlii ng the extent

There are "20 sovereign nations in
Latin America, and the people are
Indians. Negroes, English, and
Germans.
Dr. Herring gave three steps in
our relations with Latin America. In
the first place, all the way through
the 19th o ntury, we hardly knew that
Latin Am ica existed. Curses deal-
ting with Latin America were not
often foun 1 in our schools. Then at
the close of the 19th century, there

The greatest problem now is, ac-
cording" to Dr. Herring, "Can we
keep up cur good relations?" He
said it is difficult for two worlds
which are so very different to under-
stand each, other. The Ltin Ameri-
can countries arc almost 100 per cent
Roman Catholic, which the United
State- is predominately Anglo-Saxon.
The United States is a rich nation
and they are pool in comparison with

Dr. Herring closed with these
words, which are the ingredients of
all decent international relations,

ably could be mefst helped by their

The Student Cooperative council
has ust granted an organization
charter to the Men's Athletic asso-
ciation which has for its aim the
sponsorship of intercollegiate and in-
tramural competitive sports for the
men of Est Carolina Teachers col-
lege. The charter approves of the
Association's constitution and gives
to the Association the right to enjoy
all the privileges enjoyed by other
recognized organizations on the cam-
pus.
The Council approved of the or-
gairalion. after the men students had
gathered together and cet down their
aims in constitutional form. A com-
mittee (Stuait Tripp, Jesse Parker,
James Pr.rker, Blainr Moye and
in Clarlton) was selected to do
the actual writing md the actual sub-
mitting to the Council Along with
the draft of the Association's consti-
tution went a proposed budget for
the 1044-45 season. The buget com-
mitte, however, has not acted on this
matter as yet, because of prior busi-
ness.
The Association is now sponsoring
intercollegeiate basketball. A team
( has already begun practicing. Games
i will be scheduled with colleges near
j by and with local and service teams
near by. Out of town games will be
limited, however, to the amount of
money appropriated for the Associa-
tion's use and to the transportation
available.
Intramural games will be played.
An Intramural league is planned and
games will begin US a short while.
It baa been approximately two
year; i ince any men's intercollegiate
ports have functioned on the cam-
pus. In th- fall of 1942, shortage of
manpower and transportation led
this college and other colleges in this
area to abrogate contracts in the
major sports, football, basketball,
tennis, and baseball. Rasketball is
the only sports that has been in any
way revived. Informal games have
been played with a few other col-
leges and independent teams.

The Christmas holidays How
I ever forget the wonderful times
1 had? After all those rules and
i: for tii-t quarter fresh-
men. I felt like an escaped convict.
What a :�� lief not having to worry
�it getting in oi time: filing date
erving quietness from 7 a.m.
T p.m and
joy of toys
be-
a le u. sleep a- late ts I wanted.
It was wonderful going into the
corner drugstore and getting the
hit. dope from May. John. Sue,
am! the r st of the old crowd.
I the food! irum, y im! What
a joy to eat Mom's homcoeking once
in! When I .vaiked down the
r Chri tmas morning and smelled
delicious, i .ntalizing aroma
ing fr m the kitchen I thought
I would famish before dinner. Then
a? e table, aftr everyone else had
finished eating, I kept "stuffing it
in under their continuous glares,
y weren't used to having a pig
at the table, but for some reason I
couldn't stop.
Crash! Bang! shove�oh darn, I
dropped my purse again! Down-
town the day after Christmas was
worse than any previous Christmas
shopping days I had gene through.
What a crowd! Whkt noises! Of
course, yon all kiiow how people will
exchange their gifts for a size
smaller, a size larger, or even for
something else. Tien there are the
kind of folks who don't like gifts of
of any kind but had rather have
money th n anytning else in the
world�soI suppose there were
plenty of efnnds. Poor salespeople!
Those long days (or should I say
-hurt) of waiting for New Year's
Eve. Oh, I'll m vei forgtt! Wonder-
ing how the party would turn out�
wondering if all the kids would like
my new dress�Aondering if my
blind date could danci n million and
one thoui'nts going through my
mind-just waiting. Then the night
of the party, what a grand time!
How nice it was dancing, laughing
and then listening to the "Auld Lang
j Synes
Although I slept practically all
day Januaiy first, 1 wis still sleepy.
j It couldn't havr been the morning
after the night before�or could it?
Even though I hated to leave home
after having such a wonderful" time,
it wa grand getting back and seeing
all of the girls. We spnt hjurs to-
gether showing of gifts, talking
about the latest boy friend and of all
�
JFirmt of nil. is the WAJkC really needed?
Emphatically yes! Already the President has authorized the
Corps to expand from 25,000 to 150,000. The Air Forces
and Signal Corps have asked for thousands of WAAC mem-
he rs to help with vital duties. Both Ground Forces and
Services of Supply are asking for thousands more. Members
of the WAAC may he assigned to duty with the Army any-
where � some are already in Africa and England.
Can the WAAC really help win the war?
The whole idea of the WAAC is to replace trained soldiers
needed at the front. If American women pitch in now to help
our Army (as women in Britain, Russia and China do), we
can hasten Victory � and peace.
What ran my rollege education contribute?
College training is important equipment for many WAAC
duties too long to list. Cryptography, drafting, meteorology,
laboratory work, Link trainer and glider instructing, for ex-
ample. If you are a senior you may enroll at once and be
placed on inactive duty until the school year ends. See your
WAAC faculty adviser for more details.
But eon i tire comfortably on WAAC pay?
There are few civilian jobs in whish you could earn clear
income, as WAAC enrolled members do. of $50 to $138 a
month � with all equipment from your toothbrush to cloth-
ing, food, quarters, medical and dental care provided, WAAC
officers earn from $190 to $333.33 a month.
Maybe i wouldn't like the work?
