At a union church service at
the Presbyterian Church Sunday
night. Dr. A. D. Frank talked on
World Peace. Rev. W. S. Har-
den, pastor of the Presbyterian
Church introduced him.
Dr. Frank declared that the
greatest threat to Christian civi-
lization was war. He said that in
his opnuon an educational pro-
gram throughout the churches
and schools of the world offered
the most direct plan to do away
with future wars.
He recalled the awful toll of
life and property taken by the
World War. describing it as the
world's greatest tragedy.
The causes of the war, he said,
were varied; but declared that
nationalism and selfish patriotism
to be contributory factors. He
said that national egotism has
caused the world to be "puffed
up" with only the thoughts of
their own interest in mind.
At this time, the speaker said,
the lead rs of the world are un-
able to find any force to bring
peace. Military leaders are un-
willing to substitute justice for
force. Efforts to reduce arma-
ments hold out little hope for a
solution of the problem.
"We must create a universal
desire for peace" Dr. Frank as-
serted. "It is an educational task
for churches and teachers of the
world, but the movement must
begin at. home He urged the
creation of international good-
will between each nation.
He believes that a universal
draft to take the profit out of
war for the minority, and a pro-
found educational program be-
ginning in the home and extend-
ing throughout every phase of
human endeavor would be direct
factors in providing peace for
future generations.
Since the beginning of the
Christian religion, peace has
been one of the main factors
that it has advocated. Christ
said, "Blessed are the peace-

FIRST OPENING OF
COLLEGE TOLD BY
DR. R. H. WRIGHT
Intercollegiate Basketball for
girls will be held this year for
the first time in the history of
the college. This has been
granted by Dr. Wrright to the
Athletic Association for only one
year with the condition that it
will either be abandoned or con-
tinued depending on the success
of the plan this year. He also
made the provision that only
four games be played this year.
Last year the Woman's Athle-
tic Association voted to ask Dr.
Wright that the Boys Athletic
Committee composed of Dr.
Adams, Dr. Slay and Mr. Deal
Dr. Frank and Mr. Haynes
also serve as advisory board for
the girls. This request was
granted. Supervision of the in-
tercollegiate games will be under
their control.
Practice for basketball will be
started the first of November.
As yet, the coach has not been
selected; but it will probably be
a member of the faculty.
The schedule has not been
made, but it is hoped that games
with Louisburg, Chowan, Caro-
lina and Duke can be played.

Dr. Wright in his chapel talk,
October 6, gave some interesting
facts about the college. He said:
In 1930 the college had the
largest enrollment during the fall
quarter it has ever had. The
enrollment that fall was 922.
This quarter it is next to the larg-
est, now 914.
Yesterday, October 5, marked
the twenty-fourth anniversary of
the opening of this college. In
1909, October 4, this College
opened its doors to receive Stud-
ents. I believe the enrollment
that year, up to the summer
school, amounted to 174. Twenty
four years ago yesterday just a
small bunch of boys and girls
were seated here in this center
aisle. They were the most home-
sick looking bunch of folks I ever
saw in my life. They looked like
they didn't want to be here, and
'didn't have enough energy to
! go somewhere else. I was as
(homesick as they were. I had

�boys and girls here at the open-
ling. In a few days they looked
, and felt different, and East Caro-
ilina Teachers College had start-
led. It started with the definite'
purpose, let come what will, of
(giving to those who came here as
I students the best training we can
so that they may go back yon-
der to the children of our state

Co-eds Plan Very Profitable
Year.
On Wednesday morning, Sept
27 the Co-ed Club elected offi-
cers for this school year. Alva
Van Nortwick was re-elected for
President; Belmont Kittrell was
elected for Vice-President; and
Robert Sugg Fleming for Secre-
tary and Treasurer.
The Club plans to be very ac-
tive on working for the interest
of men students on the campus
this year. One of the first steps
the Club took in interest of the
men was the beginning of athle-
tics. In the fall of 31-32 the
members of the Club canvassed
the College and City for funds
to begin a basketball team, and
organized the team, and ran the
basketball and baseball teams
under the name of the Co-ed
Club for that year with the aid
of the faculty who contributed
largely to the support of the
team. This year the Club hopes
to be able to do something to-
ward the improvement of the in-
terior of the Co-ed Building.
The Club is also seeking a new
name. The present name is not
very distinguished sounding or
rather it is not good enough for
the young men of East Carolina
Teachers College. If any one has
a name to offer please give it to
any of the officers of the Club
or Dr. ReBarker.
Beginning with this issue, The
Teco Eclio will present with each
issue to its readers a complete
pictorial review of events that
occur in the college world
Collegiate Digest is a section
exactly like the rotogravure sec-
tions in the Sunday editions of
the large metropolitan dailies,
although it will confine its edi-
torial content to pictures that
deal with the life and activities
of college and university stud-
ents throughout the United
States.
It will give to every student
the opportunity of watching
what his fellow students in other
institutions are doing, and will
keep him in touch with educa-
tional and scientific develop-
ments throughout the world.
There is an old newspaper slo-
gan which sta'es that "one pic-
ture is worth ton-thousand
words and Collegiate Digest
will tell many volumes of stories
to its readers every week. Across
its eight pages every week will
parade the people who have
made news in the college and
university world during the past
seven days. And along with
them will also come many of the
things that do not get into the
news. The Teco Echo will pre-
sent a feature to you that will
not only give you "complete
campus coverage but will also
give you complete nation-wide
coverage.
This feature is being presented
to you each week at no added
cost to the subscriber. Our sub-
scription rates have not been
raised, despite the fact that this
service presents to the reader a
very complete "picture" of the
collegiate world.
The following appropriations
have been made from the Stud-
ent Fund for the year 1933-34.
Teco Echo S 750 00
Tecoan 3,300.00
Boys Athletics 1,000.00
Girls Athletics 250.00
Student Gov. Asso 300.00
Student Treasurer 135.00
Advertising 100.00
Incidentals 150.00
Bleachers L70.GO
Entertainments 950.00
The total amount appropriated
equals sixty per cent of the in-
come from fees last year. This
is in line with the cut from S5.00
to $3.00 per quarter in the stud-
ent fee.
The responsibility for the pay-
ment of these sums rests not only
on the Budget office but on the
individual students, since only
the fees paid are available for
the organizations on the campus.
If only fifty percent of the fees
should be paid, only fifty per
cent of the appropriations could
be paid.
Every fee paid makes possible
a better publication, a better
entertainment, or a better ball
game.

Alumnae Association
Donates A Gateway
Will Be Completed Before
End Of Fall Term.
Dr. Meadows spoke to the
Scribblers last Thursday night
on points that should be prac-
ticed by everyone affiliated with
newspaper work. He brought
the club to see the importance of
newspapers in the world today.
It has only one rival in the shap-
ing of public opinion over the
civilized world, the radio.
The suggestions made by Dr.
Meadows apply to the college
newspaper staff and reporters;
the first being an attitude men-
tally awake, a nose for news and
an international viewpoint are
the saving features of a good
journalist.
Be systematic in your work;
make plans, and carry them out.
A careful choice of topics, correct
expression, interesting write-ups
and last. of all, work make up
the life, body and soul of a suc-
cessful newspaper.
Nationalism is an anachron-
ism, and unless the world's na-
tions make the propert adjust-
ment of their policy to the move-
ment of thought in time, their
policy will make an improper ad-
justment of their thought.�
Waite Patton.
PICTURES FOR SIX WEEKS
HAVE BEEN ANNOUNCED
The General Alumni Associa-
tion of the state has donated a
gateway to East Carolina Teach-
ers College. It is to be built
of rough granite at a cost of $62
700.
This gateway will be at the
entrance between the Adminis-
tration Building and the Library.
It will be completed some time
during the fall term. The plans
are drawn by Mr. M. L. Wright
and the work will be under his
supervision, as chairman of the
Campus Improvement Commit-
tee.
Decided improvements on the
campus have already been made
in the last three years. Wright's
circle, the fountain and pool,
and the lake are all comparative-
ly recent acquisitions and are
spots of beauty not only for the
students but for the people of
Greenville as well.

meeting of the Poe Society for
the purpose of electing several
new officers. Nell Griffin, who
was elected secretary, and Eve-
lyn Smith and Laura Eure who
were chosen as marshals failed
to return to school this year,

has represented the society in
the inter-society debates was
elected secretary. Elizabeth
Helms and Hattie Mae Johnson
were chosen as marshals.
Melba O'Brien is President of

ballot is printed in connection
with the repeal of the Eight-
eenth Amendment. The staff
would like to have everyone,
faculty included, fill one out
and drop it in the Ballot Box
which will be in the hall of

Coaches Beatty and Shepaid are to be
congratulated on their work with the foot-
ball team this year. The team has also work-
ed so that they can represent us in a credit-
able manner. It is for us to show how much
we appreciate their work. Attend the
games; that will help them win!

every student and faculty member on the
campus to express their opinion on daily
events. Instead of just talking among a

ent body hear your side of the case. Names
mil not be printed unless the writer wishes
Ins name to be published.
RAISING STUDENT FUND
At a mass meeting, the students voted
to ask the Board of Trustees to raise the
SUM Student Fund tins year to the $5.00
Student Fund.
This seems to be the only way out of a
disasterous situation. Classes and organiza-
tions are not receiving any appropriation
this year. Consequently, the dues in these
organizations will have to be increased in
order that the work can be carried on. It
will be cheaper and will be done more effi-
ciently if the student fund is increased, and
appropriations given to the classes and or-
ganizations. Aii
We are glad, and more than glad that
this year we will have intercollegiate bas-
ketball for girls. Last year when the dis-
cussion concerning the establishment of
girl's intercollegiate sports arose, there was
some opposition among the students and fa-
culty members. After weighing, the points
on either side. Dr. Wright has said that for
this year the Woman's Athletic Association
could schedule four games. It is only an
experiment. If it works, well and good. If
it doesn't everyone will have to take the
consequences.
In order for the members of the associa-
tion to succeed, everyone must discard his
prejudices against intercollegiate games for
girls, ancT support them in their endeavor.
Although, we do have basketball, we
must also admit that there are dangers in
intercollegiate games for girls. Not as much
a moral danger as physical. A girl who is
interested in the success of her team will of-
ten play when she is unable to do so. But
common sense is often a remedy for that, and
we think our girls do have common sense.
Sometimes a person is so anxious to win,
that consciously or unconsciously she will
do something that will hinder the other
team. When any of our girls do that, we
will admit that basket-ball has a demoraliz-
ing influence on spectators and players alike.
On the other hand, basketball helps us
in many different ways.
In the first place, it helps to develop a
closer contact among the girls of different
schools. In the profession for which we are
training ourselves, one of the prerequisites
is that we should be able to mix with peo-
ple. Intercollegiate sports will help to de-
velop this trait.
Certainly, no harm has come with the
establishment of boy's sports. On the other
hand, it has done much for the college. The
people in Greenville are more interested be-
cause of the sports; other colleges are inter-
ested, and the students are more interested
in college activities.
What the boys can do, the girls can do.
It will be hard the first year, but with
the backing of the student body and facul-
ty. East Carolina Teachers College can show
that intercollegiate basketball for girls is a
desirable, and wholesome sport.
Dear Students:
To applaud or not to applaud
is a question which has become
of great importance concerning
our chapel exercises. In the
short time we have been here
this year, every established rule
pertaining to this question has
been disregarded. The princi-
ple used in deciding whether or
not to applaud is a simple one of
which everybody is aware: If a
program, or part of a program,
deals with religious topics, there
should be no applause. In other
cases, there should be applause�
not from a few scattered persons,
but from every person in the
audience. No one can deny that
our chapel programs are worthy
of applause, when applause is in
order. Therefore, I urge that we
respond more appropriately.

OUR COLLEGE
Dear Editor:
So far we have not had a ball
game on our campus this year
but we meet Wake Forest Frosh
on our gridiron October 20th. We
have a good football team this
year and let's show them our ap-
preciation by attending the game
and cheering them. A team needs
cooperation from the students
and we must do our part to help
them win the game. Mildred
Dixon, the President of the
Cheerio Club, also our college
cheer leader will be on hand to
lead the yelling so let all join in
and make a lot of noise for the
team�but be courteous. Don't
cheer when the opposing team
makes a poor play�that's not
good sportsmanship. Games are
easier won when the players
know that they have the support
of their college in the fight.
Dear Editor:
On several occasions President
Wright has reminded us that we
should not burn our lights while
we are not in our rooms. There
are still some people that per-

also been rumored that seniors
aren't so good when it comes to
the fine art of spelling. One of

FAIR PLAY
This year is the twenty-fifth year that
East Carolina Teachers College has been
functioning. During the quarter of a cen-
tury it has continued to be, what it's name
implies�a teacher's training school: Never
changing from the teacher-training idea, it
has continued to serve the state in that one
purpose.
Few of the students know anything
about the history of the college; the organi-
zations, classes and other activities. In or-
der to familiarize the students with the his-
tory, the Teco Echo is using the history of
the college as the theme for this year.
Throughout the year, histories of different
organizations, comparisons of records of the
college, and other articles of like nature
will be used.
A file of the Teco Echo for this year will
serve as a short history of the college.
What does that over-used expression
mean? How can we apply it to our daily
work and play?
Although it is a trite expression it gives
very vividly the attitudes wo should have
towards our college and our friends.
Dr. Wright has asked that we play fair
with the college authorities in such things
as loafing, taking a long time to walk with
co-eds from the library to the dormitory
and a few other undesirable things that
have been happening.
The students can control it, and they
should. Dr. Wright says that only by do-
ing it for ourselves can we build character,
which is one of the attributes we should all
have.
Let's play fair with the President of the
college and the other authorities, so that
they will not have to say to us "Turn About
is Fair Play
Remember that we are, after all, re-
sponsible for anything that happens in re-
gard to these matters.

CUTTING EXPENSES
This year the expenses of the student
at this college has been cut from $85 a quar-
tr to $80.50. This may mean only $13.50 less
each year to many of you, but to the college
it means a great deal.
In order to help the school, we must all
cooperate in every possible way to cut ex-
penses.
One way we can cut expenses and
beautify our campus at the same time, is
by keeping trash off of the ground. Men
have to be paid to pick up paper after us if
we throw it around promisciously. Put
your trash in the baskets and help in that
way.

pupils are not interested in this
form of Y. W. C. A. work? or
is it that the chairman does not
have programs that meet the
needs and desires of East Caro-
lina Teachers College students?

On June 3. 1033, I received P

questing that we set aside a cer-

purpose of holding a field flay.

Wright has given us, not only in-

aside an entire day for College

ly honored to be among the stu-
dent body that has first received
these privileges. But along
with these, as it is with every
true privilege, comes responsibil-
ity. We have been granted in-

I have had a number of re-
quests from students that
grant the permission to the wo-
men students of the college to
engage in intercollegiate basket-
ball. I am going to approve
this for the approaching basket-
ball season, with the understand-
ing that they will have not more
than four games. This also to
be for one year only, and wheth-
er it is to be continued will de-
pend upon many factors involved
in this first years experience.
Yours sincerely,

President.
On October 7, the Girls Athle-
tic Association gave a kid party
in honor of the new students of
E. C. T. C.
All of the little children were
met at the door of the campus
building by little Miss Will Hig-
don, President of the Association,
who presented each child with
a welcome tag.
Inside there was dancing until
everyone arrived. Then a group
of the older girls showed the
younger ones how to play such
games as: "Here We Go Round
the Mulberry Bush "Looby
Lou "London Bridge and
"Drop the Handkerchief
After several hours of happy
nonsense everyone went out on
the front steps to have their pic-
tures made. Then the three
hundred children were divided
into five groups. Each group
were given chewing-gum, candy,
suckers, peanuts, and finally ice
cream was served in the Y Hut.
Every child courtesyed, as their
mothers had taught them and
said that they'd had a very nice
time.

was elected to act as Tecoan
in the place of
Marjorie Davenport.
After the election of these of-

new members should be allowed
to join arose. This question was
settled by deciding to have a
party to welcome new girls and

Sunday night vesper service on
"The Consecrated Life taking

"Yield yourselves unto God
Rev Cale told of an experience
he had in c liege when one of
his friends decided that books
should come first in school and
religion should be placed in the
background. He showed how
this error had wrecked the life
of the young man. How much
more wonderful is a life that is
surrendered ultimately to the
authority of God one that is ad-
ministered i Christ.

about Dr. Wright is as follows:
"Alcohol and gasoline will not

LANIER SOCIETY
CONDUCTS CHAPEL
The chapel program of Octo-
ber 13, in charge of the Lanier
Society, was devoted entirely to
music. Miss Mary Louise Greg-
ory and Alva Van Nortwick sang
several of the popular songs of
the day, giving an encore as
well. This program is a contin-
uance of the regular Friday stu-
dent-conducted chapel programs,
which were first introduced last
year with so much success.
Lelia Ellen Belk, a graduate of
the class of 1932 died at her
home in Waxhaw on October 3.
Lelia Ellen who was one of
the most brilliant and prominent
students to graduate here was
loved by all who knew her.
While here she was active in
many organizations, particularly
the student Volunteer Band and
Y. W. C. A. She was President
of the Student Volunteers in
1930, and a member of the Y
Cabinet in 1929. She was inter-
ested in journalistic work, and
was a charter member of the
Scribblers Club, also serving as
Tecoan representative.
All who saw the class day ex-
ercises of the Class of 1932 can
never forget the author. Writing
the pageant for the class day ex-
ercises was only one of the few
outstanding things Lelia Ellen
did while in school here.
Lelia Ellen has endeared her-
self to all who knew her by her
faithfulness in performing her
work, her friendly manner and
her lovable personality.
EXECUTIVE BOARD
MET OCTOBER 14.
The executive board of the
North Carolina Division of the
American Association of Univer-
sity Women met here October 14.
Dr. Lucille Turner is President
of the Greenville Chapter of this
organization.
Members present were the
President of the Organization,
Mrs. Clyde Miller of Guilford
College; Miss E. Anderson, of
Duke, Vice-President; and State
chairmen and members of the
standing committees.
FIRST PRACTICE
RECITAL IS HELD
The first practice recital was
held in a rather informal man-
ner, Miss Mead and Miss Gor-
rell, both of the piano faculty,
talking to the girls about differ-
ent phases of music study and
practicing. Athaleah Muse, Edith
Marslender, and S. Elizabeth
Smith each played several num-
bers. These recitals are held
every first and third "Wednes-
day evenings at 6:30 in the Cam-
pus Building, for the benefit of
the piano students.
The first student-conducted
chapel program of the year was
given on Friday, September 29,
when Eloise Camp, as Religious
Education Chairman of the Y.
W. C. A. presided. Mary Louise
Gregory pleased the assemblage
with a solo, and special talks
were given by three girls.
The first, on "Success was
given by Anne LaDue Hartman.
In her talk she brought out the
fact that it is not always the
great writer or the millionaire
who is successful; for to be able
to smile in the face of hardships,
and while doing the monotonous
daily round is truly being a suc-
cess.
Ellen Jenkins spoke on the to-
pic, "Don't Be Discouraged
telling of a woman whose cher-
ished plants were nibbled by a
neighbor's rabbits, but who was
able to overcome her discourage-
ment and start anew.
In speaking on "Don't Be Criti-
cal Mary Gorham brought for-
cibly to the attention of the stu-
dent body the fact that many of
them were unknowingly going
through life with a destructively
critical point of view. Criticism,
she said, if rightly and con-
structively used, is one of the
greatest weapons for man's bet-
terment of his lot.
GRADUATES EMPLOYED
DR. I. C. GRIER SPEAKS
AT CHAPEL PROGRAM
Dr. I. C. Grier, Business Man-
ager of the Thomasville Orphan-
age and former teacher at Ap-
plachian State Teachers College,
spoke at the chapel program on
Thursday, October 11. He was in
Greenville attending the Roa-
noke Baptist Association.
Dr. Grier brought out three
points that he thought college
students should gain from four
years of study. First, an interest
in children, second, ability to
make wise choice; and third, ap-
preciation of the finer things in
life. He drew richly from his
experiences at the orphanage and
elsewhere.

Mr. Hob Eason, chairman of
the Student Committee presided.
"I believe that the experiment

IS one of the greatest ever made
on social control said Dr. Frank.
What the result of the experi-
ment will be he feels no one
knows more than Edison knew
what would be the results of his
experiments in electricity. He
thinks all should admire the
courage of President Roosevelt
and the other men who formu-
lated the plan. He pointed 0U1
that one of the features worthy
of note about the present crisis
is that nearly every one has
shown good judgment and even
temperament. He feels confi-
dent that we have reached the
upward bind and we have
reached it without any serious
disturbance:�if we can keep
that up, we shall have passed
through the depression without
evil results.
He concluded his talk by
stressing the need for the hear-
tiest co-operation and expressed
the belief that if we do co-op-
erate to the uttermost we have a
good chance for success.
