East Carolina Teachers College was
represented in the Buffalo convention
sby Ethel Parker, vice-president of the
Y. W. C. A and Erma Small. Presi-
dent of the Student Volunteer Group.
The delegates returned with a very
favorable report from the convention.
As the delegates both foreign and
native from the colleges of the U. S.
Ind Canada met in Buffalo they real-
ised that they had something in corn-
Eton. The object of the whole eonven-
Ition was to seek a comprehensive
iview of the world; to learn how the
twork of Jesus Christ must be done; to
�understand the appearing and mean-
ing of Jesus to the world; and what
they as individuals must do.
The living Christ in the world todaj
i what concerns everyone. G d is
necessary to life. We have been liv-
ing in an extremely Jaaag3- Such
an age tends to break down religious
faiths and morals. Times are chang-
ing and people are beginning to ask
themselves what is the meaning of
life?. The answer to such a question
requires the breakdown of the jazz-
age. There is an inextinguishable
hunger of the human heart for God,
fwho is the source of and secret power
iof our quest. The God of the Old
fTest&ment was a maker of history.
jHe demanded personal recognition.
IThe God of the New Testament is
made manifest through Jesus Christ
He goes out with a creative love to
seek and to save the lost. God h
fChrist is reconciling His world nnti
fHimself. One must believe in such a
HJod, for He it is who makes for social
fpolitical, and economic order. "Mar.

tion is not hopeless for our Cod is on
Ithe job; to better conditions it is our
duty as Christian students to be where
God is, out on some frontier serving
fhumanity. God in Christ is rebuild-
ing our world. "A mighty Fortress is

f Let us move in God's direction.
The living Christ makes for a
IChrist-like world. In a Christ-liki
Iworld there will be no armaments, no
fspeeulations, no injustice, no crime.
Jno hate, no sin. Such an ideal situa-
tion is for us to desire and dream
labout. In a Christ-like world, the
'ideals, aims, purposes, joy, and peace
of Jesus Christ would reign supreme.
Let us as students make ourselves
Christ-like. Allow Christ to work
Ithrough us and do those things which
fwe can never do alone. God did not
fcreate us and leave us alone in the
Iworld. but he walks with us, lingers
with us, and works with us. "For me

In considering the present civiliza-

Madame Galli-Curci, world-famous
coloratura soprano who has charmed
multitudes the length and breadth of
America ,will be heard at East Caro-
lina Teachers College, January 25th.
Her voice is greater than any since
the days of Adelina Patti's zenith; she
has won magnificent successes before
the largest audiences in musical his-
tory; she has charmed in Italy, Egypt,
Spain, Russia, South America, Cen-
tral America, England, Scotland,
Wales, Ireland. Australia and New
Zealand, the Orient, and her own
America. Her coming is the greatest
musical event in the history of the col-
lege.
Her Life
Born in Milan, Italy, of Spanish and
Italian parents, Galli-Curci received
her earlier education, from her
eighth to thirteenth year, at a German
school in that city. From her parents
she learned to speak Spanish and

The seventh annual congress of the
National Student Federation of Amer-

Hotel in Toledo, Ohio, from December
27 through the 31st Over three hun-
dred delegates were in attendance
representing colleges and universities
from all over the United States.
The University of the city of Toledo
spared neither effort nor expense in
acting as host to the federation.
Walter Donee and Irvin Harbright,
congress chairmen, were largely re-
sponsible for the successful manipula-
tion of the congress plans and pro-
gram. Two days out of the five
meetings were held at the University;
all the others were conducted at the
hotel.
In arranging the program for the
Seventh Annual Congress it was the
purpose of the Congress Chairman to
formulate plans in such a way that
each delegate might find inspiration

McGinnis, registrar. Then began the
quarterly rush to get cards filled out
and schedules arranged. To a new
student, the whole day seemed one
long confusion; but for those who have
been through before, registration was
ended quickly and quietly. Ask any
old student about it and she will tell
you, "There was a great deal less con-
fusion than has been customary
It is gratifying to see that, in spite
of the depression and many bank fail-
ures, few have failed to return and
many new ones have been added to the
student body.
It was Charlamagne that stood
on the mountain height and looked
over his vast kingdom and said, "It
and its principles shall fail but
there is a kingdom to be built in
each individual that will endure
forever, and whose principles will
not be based on physical strength
and power, but upon principles that
are based on knowledge and ideals.
It is the purpose of educational
institutions to aid in fighting
battles that will help to build up
such a kingdom, and establish it
firmly so that its enemies, ignor-
ance, superstition, prejudice, and
dishonesty, cannot tear it down. As
this is the beginning of a new
year, each individual should put
forth every effort to build on his
kingdom so that 1932 will be an-
other brick in the building of an
everlasting kingdom within him.

forgets herself
When asked to define personality,
the prima-donna answered quickly,
"It is loving people In her life, she
proves it. Her radiant personality
proclaims on sight that she loves her
audience and wants to give them hap-
piness. To her it is always the people
who count. She feels that it is enter-
tainment she should give to people
and she abundantly gives it.
An Immortal
Her appearance, magnetic person-
ality, and exotic charm in dress fasten
public attention tthe moment she
steps upon the stage. People feel
that a celebrity stands before them.
These make the visual side of things,
and an important one in her great
success. But the keynote of it all is
that lovely floating quality of tone of
insinuating tenderness, and the deep
sincerity of feeling that inspires it.
That which the multitude has so
magnificently appreciated at her con-
certs, was recently put into words of
simplicity that makes them eloquent.

Wednesdays just as they do to
Mondays and Fridays. They
have also found it very delight-

privilege of going to the show on
Wednesday. Their wailing of

The success of the new shop-

BEAUTIFYING OUR
CAMPUS.
It is time that something were said
about the eternal question of women,
"What Should I Wear?"
Galli Curci is going to appear here
soon, and the question has again arose,
"What am I going to wear?" If pre-
cedents are followed there will be
those in the audience who wear sport
clothes, dress clothes, semi-formal and
formal dress. Which are you going
to wear? Are you afraid to wear
formal dress for fear of being in the
minority and thus becoming conspicu-
ous? If so, cast your fears aside and
let's all don our fine apparel, when we
pay homage to the great singer.

Wright said that it would be
possible to have one. That was
all that was needed. The whole
student body became enthusias-
tic. They wanted a newspaper,
immediately a mass meeting was
called and the matter was dis-
cussed. The vote was unanim-
ous that we should have a paper.
The staffs were elected and
work began at once on the paper.
Fellow students and alumnae,
we hope you like it. It is your
paper, so you must help us to
make it a success. j We know that there has not been as
"We like our name. We like much improvement in this paper as
was anticipated when we began the
year's work. This is partly due to
the fact that the members of the staff
do not co-operate with the reporters
as they should. The staff members
are members of the Scribbler's Club
and we wish that they would please at-
tend the club meetings and discuss
with the reporters the things that
should be done for the improvement of
the paper. Unless the staff members
attend the club meetings there is no
way in which the reporters can come
in direct contact with them, conse-
quently there is slight possibility for
any improvement in the Teco Echo.
Come ritfht down to the plain facts

of a New Year and now is a good time

TO THE SCIENCE CLUB.
Just before Christmas holidays the
the E. C. T. C. Co-eds defeated the
Greenville All Stars with a score of
23 and 17 in the College auditorium.
Both teams were well matched and
the battle was exciting and thrilling
from beginning to end. The All Stars
shot the first goal, but in a short
while the Co-eds took the lead and
Kept it throughout the game. There
were few fouls, and a great many out-
tanding plays made. Tucker made
more points for the Co-eds, while
King and Forbes did outstanding de-
fensive work.
The Co-ed team was put into shape
by Dr. Adams and "Soup" Porter.
Both men worked unceasingly to se-
cure a good team and the results were
favorable.
The Co-eds that took part in the
game were: Tucker, center; Barker.
forward; Hunsucker, forward, King:
guard; and Forbes, guard.
During the holidays another game
was played between the same teams.
The All Stars won this time with a
score of 23-22. The All Stars led
throughout all the game, but in the
last three minutes the Co-eds made
such a wonderful comeback that it
looked as if they would win. The
whistle sounded with the All Stars one
point ahead.

On Wednesday night, January (
Mr. M. L. Wright spoke at the first
meeting of the Scribblers Club for the
year of 1932. Quite a number of the
old members were present and enjoyd
hearing some of the journalistic ar-
ticles written by Mr. Wright at var-
ious times during the past few years.
Mr. Wright commended the staff on
the work done on the Teco Echo this
year and offered the suggestion that
stories of human interest might add
an interesting touch to the paper.
This type of writing enables one to
develope style and individuality. The
short pieces that Mr. Wright read
convinced everyone present that such
articles would be very interesting and
everyone is asked to try writing such
articles.
There was no business to be attend-
ed to at this session and so the meet-
I ing adjourned to meet the third Tues-

Jenny Lind will be told of the Italian
girl, who was trained to be a concert
pianist and then prepared herself for
opera
Her Program
Never does Galli-Curci sing a sad
song. She looks on music as some-
thing which should bring only happi-
ness. Tender songs, love songs, songs
of spring and hope, old songs, songs
of home and big opera arias are in her
list, not to mention the encores for
which she has so many calls; melodies
like Swannee River, Love's Old Sweet
Song, Home, Sweet Home, nor should
special mention be neglected of My
Lindy Lou or Clavelitos (Carnations),
numbers that set the whole vast
audience to smiling.
She spends many hours in the sum-
mer selecting songs that will compose
her coming season's offerings. Her
audiences must have the very best.
But in them all the key note is happi-
ness.
The achievement of her purpose
was told recently in a review which
said, "There are a few forms of enter-
tainment which can always bring to-
gether large audiences in Montreal
and stir them to happy enthusiasm,
and among them is the singing of
Madame Galli-Curci All of which
means still more than her charm, art
and magnetic personality; Galli-Curci
brings the message of happiness.
Above all, it is the culture, the
exalted musicianship and spiritual
power held in her every song; the
exquisitely caressing quality of tone
alone possessed by her that appeal,
fascinate and endear Galli-Curci to
her audiences.

students of this college, and its
author, J. Gaskill McDaniel, has given
permission to the Teco Echo to pub-

Ultimatum
In dainty quainty little frills,
In sweaters, and in poiret twills,
You have that certain something I
adore;
These little tarns enthralled my
heart,
Your slippers even play a part
In thrilling me, as no one has
before.
I like the trinkets that you wear,
You put your make-up on with
care,
You show good taste, in donning
this and that;
But if you want me at your feet,
Protesting love, in phrases sweet,
You'll have to burn that durn
Eugenie hat.
Author's Note: These lines are de-
dicated to the students of East Caro-
lina Teachers College at Greenville,
especially those who have been kind
enough to be interested in our efforts.
What doe? this year hold in store
for you? We would not unroll the
curtain of the future even if we could.
There are things that we can do that
will make this a different year�a bet-
ter year than 1931.
We wish our friends a happy New
Year, and we do want them to bfe
happy. Everyone is seeking happi-
ness.
What will we do to secure this
coveted possession for ourself and our
friends? There are several things
thai we can do to make us happy.
Work well done brings happiness to
us at the close of the day. We must
do the daily task with cheerfulness.
When one has done the best he can do
then there is true satisfaction. So
often we are content with doing
enough to get by; and therefore the
work is not completed. In 1932 we
should be content with nothing less
than our very best.
To be happy we must put others
first in our thoughts. Have you ever
played the game of doing one fine
thing each day for some oneIt is a
splendid game to play, and one we
ought to learn this year. It takes
only'a little time to do a little kind-
ness, yet it cheers and thrills the
heart of the recipient. If we were a
little more thoughtful, we could find
so many things to do on our campus
that would make us happy.
Speaking to people in a friendly way
is such a little thing to do that we
often think it doesn't matter. So let's
try to make 1932 a great deal happier
year and "leave but happy memory as
we go along the way
siding. The banquet, as did all the
other meetings, included people from
nearly all the countries irrespective
of race or color.
On New Year's Eve an informal re-
ception was given at the Statler Hotel
for the 2500 delegates present. For
entertainment stunts, games, singing
and refreshments were engaged in.
Following this a very interesting
night watch service was held.
International teas were given in the
Chinese rooms of the Statler.
One of the most impressive and ef-
fective features of the Buffalo Confer-
nce was the Pageant "Release which
pictured "The races of the world in
conflict with some of the gigantic
forces that are all but overwhelming
modern society. The points brought
out in the pageant were:flrstrtKe re
lease from the bondage of industry.
In the second scene, the problems of
"Disease "Poverty" and "Ignor-
ance" were shown. The release from
these three took place through the ap-
pearance of the "Spirit of Christ In
the third scene the struggle for world
possession was shown. The world was
the center of the desire of every na-
tion. They stood at peace with one
another as the "Spirit of Christ" en-
tered. The fourth scene displayed the
terrible effects of war. The youth of
today who realizes these effects, tries
to lift up the fallen. The fifth scene
show the problem of man's concept of
the universe. 'Man struggles alone
in the dark and does not believe in
anything which is not scientifically
explained and analyzed "
The added attraction to the Pageant
was the color effects obtained by the
beautiful lighting system in the Ma-
sonic Consistary Auditorium. "The
movement and rhythm of the dancers
and actors, the music by the trained
student chorus, and the interesting
use of a choric speaking group all
combined to build into thought content
of the pageant a beautiful and power-
fully impressive spectacle
The attraction in Buffalo for the
delegates came to a climax on Satur-
day afternoon when the girls and
boys "took off" for Niagra Falls and
Canada. The outstanding scenes which
one saw at the Falls were "The Maid
of the Mist "The Bridal Veil the
"Three Sister Islands "The Horse-
shoe Falls and "Death Bridge
But this was not all for the North
Carolina delegates. On the return trip
a sight-seeing tour was taken over
Washington, D. C. The places visited
were the Lincoln Memorial, the Wash-
ington Monument, the Smithsonian
Institute and the Capitol. Many of
the crowd sat in the House of Repres-
tatives, the Senate, and the Supreme
Court.
CO-ED BASKETBALL GAME

God on Earth Before the ideal so
ciety can be achieved, drastic change
must be made.
The contrast between plenty and
poverty is one of ihe marked charac
teristics of our present society. Im-
proved machinery has made available
an output far in excess of the pur-
chasing ability of the world market.
Control of land, natural resources, ami
;tools of production has enabled a
small minority to accumulate wealth
on a large scale. Even though plent
exists, yet poverty abounds.
The menace of class war constitute
one of the most ominous aspects oi
western civilization. Everywher.
there is constant strife between so
ciety and industry.
The race between war and peace if
the most immediately alarmine
aspect of modern society. We havi

the control of raw materials and mar-
kets grows more relentless. Tarift

The pressure of population in several

The impotence of governments in

CLUBS
LANIERS!
On the night of December 12, the
Laniers held their regular meeting.
As the prgram was entirely musical,
the meeting was held in the public
�.chool music room. This was the first
program of that kind that had been
given this year, and everyone enjoyed
it immensely. Mary Rabb, Myrtie
Gray Hodges, and Hazel Ruth Turn-
age each played piano solos represent-
ing the evolution of music-classical,
semi-classical, and jazz.
Of unusual notice at this meeting
was the increase in attendance. The
room was filled with the largest
crowd of the year.
After a short business meeting, the
meeting adjourned.

POES!
On Saturday, December 12 at 6:00
P. M. the Poes held their regular
meeting in the Society Hall. Immedi-
ately after a short business discussion
the meeting was turned over to the
chairman of the program committee.
Then followed an interesting as well
as instructive program on the life and
works of Edgar Allen Poe. Lucille
Noel gave a brief sketch of Poe's life.
The Raven" was read very effective-
ly by Mildred Dixon. Marjorie Flythe
concluded the program with Poe's
most "horrible" story, "The Black

The trouble is in ourselves and not our

we think that since we are in college
there is nothing we can do to help re-

there is quite a great deal. Since we
have been home for the holidays, we
should be able to recognize the state

homes. We can help our parents

I'OIH YEARS IN COLLEGE!1
Only fou. years ago? Yes, it wa

the span of time myseli four year,
from then. That picture 1 saw thei.
that made me happy with pride am:
admiration has now failed so thai
nothing can be seen except a few
shadowy marks that make me li&Vag'h
as-I-Iv.k 1�:ick thru the pages of time.
That picture of myself I titled
"Senior" spelled with a capital. 1
gave it that title because to me it
signified all knowledge, wisdom, no-
bility, fame, and all the god-like char-
acteristics that exist. In addition to
that I stood ready to start out into
the great world with a golden wand in
my hand, with which I was to perform
such miracles as would transform the
world from an ignorant unhappy one
to L'ptopia itself. Savages would be
made into civilized Christians over
night, kings would sit down with their
servants and eat, sinners would be
converted into preachers and mission-
aries, all trashy literature would be
made into a bon fire and all the world
would sit around and play their harps
and glory in it as Nero did when
Rome burned, girls and boys would
thrive on the classics, and on and on
until Utopia came into existence. I
would take it modestly and silently,
but how proud and happy I would be.
Then�Oh, yes, the first quarter of
my college life ended. What? was
that a mist that quietly and silently
stole over that vision of what was to
be? The first year ended! Oh, the
tragedy of steing my dreams turn
sickly pale as if they were approach-
ing death. The third ended! Did
they recover from their illness? No,
they died from such enemies as his-
tory, education, science, English, psy-
chology and even common sense. A
tragedy? No, only a cherished mem-
ory to be laughed at.
Another picture to take its place?
Like it T "Like�but, Oh! how dif-
ferent This time it was just an
ordinary girl in an oi-dinary school
house pounding ordinary history and
English into ordinary children in an
ordinary community that never heard
of Utopia and would probably think
you were "cussing" if they did.

DO YOU?
AroundThe World
With The Faculty
Do you ever stop to think what you
would have been if God had not made
you just you? I have. Oh, so many
things I might have been�a flower,
to grow in the meadow and shelter
the grasshopper; a bird to sing in the
trees; or a -frog to live in the water
and croak; a tall spreading oak to
shelter the hot tired passerby; a bell
to summon; some tired farmer to his
dinner; the chimes as they ring out on
Sunday morning; a grain of sand in
the road upon which man travels; or
even a tiny drop of water in some
hidden brook. Whatever I should
have been I should have been happy
�oh, so happy to have been a part of
this great universe.
When the various members of the
faculty were asked where they spent
their holidays some were more than
glad to tell in order to get their name
in the paper, but others, being rather
bashful, could think of nothing more
horrid than seeing their own name in
bold type in the Teco Echo. Never
theless we have found out a little
about most of them.
Miss Sammon spent part of her time
in Greenville, however she, Mr. Flan-
agan, Mr. M. L. Wright, and Miss
Wahl did go to Washington, D. C.
The others were attending a National
Economic convention and a National
Sociological convention, but Miss Sam-
mon would have us know that she
meant to attend none of the meeting
hers was a pleasure trip.
Miss Gray went to Beaufort, Wilson,
and Raleigh during her vacation.
Miss Greene spent the holidays at
her home in Abbeville, S. C.
Miss Cassidy visited her home in
(Meveland, Ohio.
Miss Kuykendall visited her parents
in Lexington, Kentucky. While there
-he saw Miss Wilkes, a former teacher
f this college, who is now teaching
it Morehead, Kentucky.
Miss Hooper went to her home in
Memphis, Tennessee. While there
he witnessed the celebration of her
larnts' Golden Wedding Anniversary.
Miss Bowen went to Durham for the
holidays.
Miss Ross went to Arlington during
her vacation.
Mr. McGinnis "didn't do anything
in particular; didn't go anywhere ex-
cept hunting
Dr. Slay spent the vacation in
Richmond, Virginia.
Miss Morton visited her home in
Beaufort, N. C.
Miss Mead went to her home in

citis and had an operation, but is now
doing nicely.
Mr. Ginn spent the holidays in
Goldsboro, "noticing the bank failures
and other things
Miss Newell visited her home in
New Jersey.
Miss Wadlington stayed here most
of the time. She took a trip to Nor-
folk, Hampton Roads, and James-
town, Virginia.
Miss Smith visited her sister in
Charleston, S. C.
Miss Holtzclaw visited her sister in
Clarksville, Va.
Miss Williams spent the holidays in
Greenville, Ken. "Just figuring
Miss Nulton spent the holidays in
Florida, taking an airplane ride while
there. (Does that account for her
size now?)
Miss Turner spent the holidays at
her home in Pulaski, Tenn.
Miss Hodgins and Miss Redwine
flew home in the "Condor Mias Hod-
gins going to Spartanburg, S. C, and
Miss Redwine to Monroe, N. C. .
Miss Davis visited her home in
Lake Toxaway, N. C.
Miss Gorrell visited Wake Forest
during the holidays.
Miss Willis stayed here and "kept
the home fires burning until the others
came back
Now, I hope none of you feel em-
barrassed at seeing your own name
in the paper, because here it is for
everybody to read and see.
Although the bank, with all her
money in it failed during the holidays,
Miss Annie Morton declares that she
spent a pleasant Christmas vacation.
She stayed in Beaufort with her
parents, refusing an invitation to
visit friends elsewhere. Santa Claus,
she says, was as good as, if not bet-
ter than, ever before to her.
Mrs. McKeane spent Christmas in
Mississippi with her family, and states
that she had an enjoyable time.
