Name
At the close of Dr. Weldon's mes-
sage the outgoing B. S. U. Council
members, carrying lighted candles,
entered from the rear of the room.
As the new B. S. U. Council members
were called by retiring president,
Clarine Johnson, each lighted her
candle from the old council members
and took her place in a star forma-
tion on the stage.
Clarine reminded the Council that
just as sailors keep their eyes on
the Pole Star to be sure they are on
the right course, so should the
B. S. U. Council keep its eyes fixed
on Christ as their Pole Star to be
sure they are on the right course
in their work.
Her challenge to all present was:
"When you are tempted to com-
promise with life and avoid moral
responsibility and try to escape by
being small, remember that Christ
when tempted, steadfastly set His
face toward Jerusalem and the

The TECO ECHO
Campus Is Saddened By
Death OF Ernie Pyle
Last month the United States lost a won-
derful newspaper reporter. Editors of all
papers felt close to this man. College edi-
tors admired him because he was a writer
that used simple language.
Many editors have wanted to be a writer
like him. He always suggested to use simple
plain everyday language. This is certainly
one thing that we should always remember.
The loss of Ernie Pyle has been felt by
all newspaper people. They feel he has left
with his memory a better knowledge ot
how to appeal to the average person.
Pyle's Great Influence
On College Papers
In this issue of the paper the staff would
like to pay tribute to the memory of Ernie
I'vle and 'all others like him. It was men
like him that have become a friend of the
college fighting forces. He made friends
with them and wrote of these young boy s
activities on the war front. He is one that
has sent back to us the down to earth facts.
He has written in language we can under-
stand.
By his influence college staffs have telt
they could continue to print a paper with
news for our fighting men.
He is gone but there will be others to
carry on the wonderful work started by this
New Mexico man.
To Believe With Certainty
We Must Begin By Doubting
I am sitting on the ECTC lawn think-
ing of a statement 1 read in a paper a few

From my place on the lawn I can see

divided plan, calm and sure under the sun.
its students and faculty are busy rushing
about trving to get their work done, each
54 paratelv. They seem to be unaware that
there is a universe which is one unit skill-
fullv set together. They have grown up and
win grow old and eventually die with the
same narrow understanding of the world
and its beauty.
There are only a few who ever lift their
heads, who ever gaze at the sky. who ever
question that it is blue. But it is those
few who have seen the sky and have caught
the vision of the future.
Search through the great names ot his-
tory and you will find this true. It is these
men who are not content to accept facts but
to prove them. Not satisfied to hear the
truth but to verify it.
It is these, down through the years who
have made the world better. It is the knowl-
edge that will be more of these that
gives us hope for the future.
Edison, Ford. Lincoln. Jefferson and
Franklin�only the beginning of that list of
men and women who have caught that vision
of tomorrow and have given their lives to
fulfill a need of humanity. Yet this is an
indication of what can be done if keen alert
minds lift their eyes to the sky.
From here on my blanket I watch the
world go by. It is dark and troubled at
times but there is always that breaking
through of the sunlight at the end of the
siorm. And it fills my heart with happi-
ness when I see a student stop and lift his
eyes to the sky, and' question that it is blue.
Jarvis Hall Parlor Gets
New Coat of Paint
Jarvis Hall Parlor changed almost
overnight from a dark dreary parlor to a
beautiful white one. Yes, the painters did
a wonderful job on it. Now when you walk
in the front door you aren't greeted by that
dreary, let down feeling. Just by a few
coats of paint the whole atmosphere has
been changed. Now when you walk in every-
thing is so pretty and cherry looking that
you can't help but feel contented and at
home.
In order to keep this parlor nice and
pretty as it is now. the students are going
to have to cooperate. Some are wondering
how they are going to do this, but that is
an easy question to answer. If you see any-
one putting their feet on the white woodwork,
ask them in a nice way, not to do that. Also
in order to keep the walls as they are now,
don't let your friends strike matches on
them. Remember, girls, this is your home
now and as much your parlor as anybody
else's You wouldn't want them to scar the
floor, strike matches or put their feet on the
woodwork in your living room at home,
would you? So now that this is your home
for the time that you are here, take the same
interest in it that you would if you were in
your living room ; in your own home town,
jarvis Hall Parlor is as pretty as any other
parlor on campus now and we want to keep
it that way. therefore, through your help
and cooperation we can.

Published Biweekly by the Students of
East Carolina Teachers College
Entered as second-class matter December 3,
1925, at the U. S. Postoffice, Greenville,
N. C, under the act of March 3, 1879.
Ah. spring! with its birds, its budding
trees, its source themes and its "Aggresssive
Aggies" to get in your hair!
Just when you're busy learning about
the life span of a termite, the interior of a
B-29, or the rise and fall of the Roman Em-
pire, bang! crash! thud! down come six or
eight Encyclopedia Hritannicas! From her
position on the floor amid all the topsy-
turvey books. Aggie looks up at you with
big baby blue eyes and ask innocently. "Did
I disturb anybody?"
Then she pots the books back on the
shelf with the z's behind the a's and the m's
behind the x's. Naturally no one can find a
volume when she wants it. but that doesn't
phase Aggie. She has already finished us-
ing them. BO why worry?
When you are trying to concentrate on
the growth of a cancer (interesting subject,
eh what?), Aggie can be heard all the way
across the room whispering excitedly about
a certain third person masculine who is
simply de-vine?
All I have to say to'you. Aggie, is that
you had better hold on to that head of yours,
:caue some of these days you're going to
wake up without it. Then won't you be
sorry!
Well, well, the ole' keyhole korrespondent

get a little dope on all these cute gals around
here once again so here goes

difference between dreams and reality?
Girls, they were mighty cute Lt's. on
campus last weekend. We hear some have
been stationed here now.
Mary Alice, that is a dream of a picture
you received. Too bad Billy wasn't here
to give it to you.
Mary Alice Cahoon, you looked very happy
the other day. Must have been a letter
from Mike.
The Four Musketeers, Pitt, Singie, Lota
and Jean seem mighty lonesome these days.
Lota, too bad Aeicky had to leave.
Mary Young, what are you going to do
when Nick leaves? Spend all your time
writing letters???
Blimp, it looked mighty good to see you
on campus.
We understand why "Fish" is beaming
from ear to ear. Her "Tech Sgt. Rouse"
(and don't leave off the "Tech part) is
coming home today on a 15-day furlough.
Bet'cha you'll get red roses for the dance
Saturdav night and by the way,
"Fish don't let Troy find out about your
new "friend boy" on campus, namely E. G.
Maybe "Charlie' Shine" could say a word or
two there.
Jean, you shouldn't give the gals "sech"
dirty looks when they break on Charles at
the Campus building. After all, you want
him to stay popular, don'tcha???

BILLY TUCKER: My sister let me use
her car (and GAS) one night to come over
to the library to study. I finished early
(very early) and took a group to ride,
stoppng out at Clark's for a coke. Next
night one of the boys was over and asked
me if he'd lost his tiepin in the ear last
night. 1 mumbled something and he said,
"Well, it must have been when we were out
to Clark's, then, 'cause 1 sure had it on
when we were riding around For the
next hour I kept my eyes on the floor and

. My biology teacher remarked to the
class after we'd had a hard test that upon
correcting the papers she'd thought it quite
a coincidence that � students sitting side
by side should miss the same questions with
the same wrong answers . . . and I knew
what she meant before she gave our corner
a glance.
T. L. Thinking that when in doubt, tin-
best flowers to send were probably red
roses, I sent my date for a dance a corsage
of them. When I arrived at her house she
was wearing a wine-colored evening dress
looking rather green. Even could see it
wasn't so good. Since then I've always
asked.
JESSE PARKER: My most embarrassing
experience happened when I went to get
my high school class ring back from a girl
I had been dating. I was leaving for my
first year in college and wanted my ring
before 1 left. When I asked her for the
ring she went into the house and brought
back a box with about ten or fifteen rings
in it and told me to pick mine out because
she couldn't remember which one was mine

especially like, because I thought he bragged
a lot and thought he was the berries with
the ladies. "He's gonna get in my hair

Lt. Lemon almost has hysterics
when your reporter calmly called the

The C. A. P. Cadets are taught
basic infantry drill, radio, aircraft,
recognition, navigation, first aid, and
other subjects which eventually lead
to actual flight and maybe a civilian
pilot's license.
When this C. A. P. squadron was
activated there was a squad of ECTC
hoys but now the draft and enlist-
ments have cut this number con-
siderably. The squadron needs
several more squads to fill its quota.
Students who will attend the meet-

to attend ECTC are preferred, of
course.

I return from supper with the very

and marching directly to the book-

anything but the immediate task of
studying. I give myself a pat on
the back for this remarkable dem-
onstration of will power and then
quickly, for fear I will weaken,
choose books for the subject that are
most pressing and depressing me at
the moment. After assembling these
books on a cleared portion of my
desk, I reach for a pencil.
I always keep everything in its
proper place; therefore, I never have
same idea. I return dejectedly to my
room, dip my "pawa" in the basin,
and call the job complete.
About this time I hear someone

nouncing that there is a "handsome

unable to contend with this persis-

her contributions to the room, some-
one exclaims that we should "eat,
drink, and be merry for tomorrow we
may die" during that science test.
We need no further encouragement;
we immediately commence to devour
everything in sight (well, not quite
everything). After the last guest
