American sentiment against Hitler is pointed out in another way, this time among college students of the nation. The latest poll of the Stu- dent Opinion Surveys of America reveals an overwhelming majority of students opposing the return to Germany of the colonies taken from her after the World War. Although German colonial de- mands have faded into the back- ground while Mussolini's Tunisian aspirat ions occupy the center of the European stage. Hitler has many times made it known that he will accept no substitutes for territory. Some observers believe Der Fueh- rer desires the African colonies not so much for their resources as for new military bases. Whatever Hitler's motives are, American college students, mem- bers of the group that supplied many lighters for the last war. op- pose the idea as shown by their answers to the question, "Should the colonies taken from Germany after the World War be returned to her?

"The Christian Student was the theme d' the program. The Christian Student in the Classroom" was discussed by Earl Pearson. In the classroom, he said, one must learn to he companionable with the teacher and students. It is necessary to have an open mind- to be honest intellectually with yourself. "?The Christian Student and His Roommate" was discussed by Rob- ert Hart. He said that each student must learn to live the best Chris- tian life, to ereate the best Chris- tian atmosphere that he can for his roommate. If one is successful in living with his roommate, he will very likely be successful with the people that he is associated with after his college days. James Yarnon concluded the pro- gram, giving his views on the "Christian Student and His Con- victions. His first attribute of a conviction was that it must be per- sonal, and it must be dogmatic. He named three convictions that are (Please turn to page two) Engel Lund Gives Folk Song Recital Engel Lund, presenting a pro- gram of folk songs here, gave her audience an insight into the folk lore of many lands as she presented this in the music which is typical of the various countries. Among the languages represent- ed in the program which Miss Lund ?rave, there was only one of which she is not the master, this one be- ing Yiddish. She does not, however, like to sing in languages which she is un- able to speak, and for this reason rarely does so. Icelandic is her native tongue, and besides this she learned six other languages while in undergraduate school in Den- mark. Folk songs are. Miss Lund be- lieves, true to the country from which they come. Many of those in her collection she gathered from their native settings.

Dr. Flanagan's name was present- ed to the nominat- ing committee by Dr. Wood of Mis- souri State Teachers College.

Dr. Flanagan laughingly admitted that he was the "goat" of the organiza- tion since he was the only one initiated wrhen the Peabody chapter was admitted to the National So- ciety.

Meadows, McGinnis Attend Meeting of School Leaders National Educational Association Convenes In Cleveland President Leon R. Meadows and Dr. Howard MeOinnis, registrar of the college, attended the annual meeting of the National Education Association in Cleveland, Ohio. February 24. through March 2. The main meeting consisted of several parts. The division of the American Association of Teachers Colleges met February 24 and 25, preceding the meeting of the As- sociation of School Administrators which met on Sunday. February 26 and continued through Thurs- day, March 2. "This was one of the most help- ful meetings held stated Dr. Meadows in an interview. "The program was very good and there was a great deal of interest mani- fested Two hundred exhibits of arti- cles, processes, methods, and para- phernalia, that may be used in the classroom were shown. In addition there were numerous demonstra- tions of school work. In all there were a total of two hundred and fifty speakers on the various programs which were held in the city auditorium and the ad- joining rooms. The chief topics of discussion were democracy and education, the child of the future, meeting the needs of education, under present conditions, and better trained teach- ers for better citizens. The meetings were suitably in- terspersed with excellent entertain- ments by a large number of radio stars who appeared before the audi- ence from time to time and rend- ered good programs.

Although the present constitution contains no information garding the question of whether a majority or a plurality is necessary for elec- tion, student government officers and candidates have agreed that a ma- jority vote for any one candidate will be essential for election. In view of these circumstances, campus political observers are of the opinion that a second race will be necessary before the editor is selected. The present election is the first (Please turn to page two) Delay Necessary In Music Festival According to information re- ceived from Dean Tabor the Music Festival will be postponed to May 5 due to conflicts with different high school programs in the state. When asked about further de- velopments in the music department, Mr. Tabor stated that he was plan- ning a joint recital by Hilda Tew, contralto, and Jean Abeyounis, lyric soprano, at the first part of next quarter. A group of voice students are working on several selections from the opera, Maritana, and plan to give a program of excerpts from the opera in the near future. Stu- dents helping with this are Maude Melvin, Bo Kerr, and Hilda Tew, directed by Mr. Tabor. Mr. Tabor wished to announce that any students interested in band for next year see him. They are starting a class in woodwind and brass instruments. He is primarily interested in freshman and sopho- mores but needs more clarinet play- ers from these classes. Two new college songs, "Alma: Mater" and Purple and Gold' were introduced to the students at the regular chapel period Tues- day, March 7. The former, "Alma Mater was written and arranged by Harold A. McDougal, dire tor of instrumental music at Greenville High School, and a stu- dent at East Carolina Teachers College. "Purple and Gold, a pepl song, was written by Dean C. Ta- bor, head of the Music Department at ECTC. and arranged for the hand by Speiiee Hatley. The words to the two songs fol- low : ALMA MATER Praise to your name, so fair. Dear old East Carolina. Your joy we'll all share. And your friends we'll always be. We pledge our loyalty And our hearts to devotion. To thee, our Alma Mater. Love and praise. PURPLE AND GOLD Marching onward, straight down the field we go Marching forward proudly to meet the foe. Halting never?forward forever, For we're marching to victory. Chorus: For when the sons and daughters of East Carolina March with shoulders pressed close together, That's a certain sign there's always fair weather For our colors, the purple and the gold. For when we 're marching forward, Keep close together, Heads up high, through any old weather; For our college teams we 're march- ing together, Heading straight down the field to victory.

February 17. on the pur- pose of Industrial Arts in educa- tion. According to Mr. McHenry, education is a continuous process of participation in a system of co- operative living. Industrial Arts as a subject for educative purposes, is a study of changes made by man in the forms of material to increase their values, and the problems of life related to those changes. The nine objectives of Industrial Arts according to Dr. Warner of. the University of Ohio are as follows : Exploration, general guidance, household mechanics, avocations, hobbies, social habits, and insight, consumer's knowledge and apprecia- tions, a degree of skill, correlation or integration, and vocational pur- poses. Mr. McHenry further stated the divisions of Industrial Arts and explained to the club members some of the work done by NTA workers under his direction here at the col- lege.

A PRIVILEGE Within the next few days, students of this college will go to the polls to choose officers for the ensuing year. The editors and business managers of both campus publications, and leading members of the Men's and Women's Student Government Associations will be elected at this time. In past years, slightly more than half of the members of the Student Body have shown enough interest in the affairs of this college to cast their and the students in exercising the we I importance to the college, as a privilege to enjoy votes. Tins election is of vita have a duty to perform right to vote. Not only does the effectiveness of any democratic form of government depend upon the mass of citizens exercising the privilege of suffrage, but also relies to a large degree upon the intelligence with which that duty i- performed. It is only through intelligent voting that the functions of the Student Body of East Carolina Teachers College can he made indicative of the will of the majority of its citizens. Ol IM ION STILL UNANSWERED Tin student mass meeting held February 9 sent a request to tue Admin- istration that the privilege of dancing six nights per The reply the reque read in par! s Uexander an ancing six nights per week he restored. est was given in a letter from the President which - follows: "1 have conferred with Mr, Tabor . . . and Mr. have the assurance from them that beginning with Tuesday, February 21, thai the students will be given the privilege of dancing in the Wright Building regularly ?n Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday nights 1 n effect, this reply was ? 1 i ? The students request long enioved, and the Adminii ( to the resolution adopted by the Student six nights per week for dancing, a privilege -tratiou stated that three, and only three, i it would be given over to a social hour of this kind. Perhaps there was some i lisunderstanding on the part of the Administration as to what was meant in the resolution requesting "the restoring of the dancing privi- lege but as the matter stands now. no satisfactory action has been taken on this authentic request from the Student Body. This Teco Echo suggests that another mass meeting lv called imme- diately and that the students repeat this request for the restoration of a wholesome, unabused privilege. Hodges, Chadwick Attend Frat Meet E.C.T.C. had as representatives to the Biennial Convention of the Phi Sigma Pi Fraternity held at Cleve- land, Ohio, February 25, Fodie Hodges and Vance Chadwick. The president, Dr. J. M. McCal- lister, had the delegates from each of the fifteen chapters represented give a report of their functions on their respective campuses. Commit- tees were appointed to work on vari- ous problem ; Chadwick served on the committee working on the duties of the sponsor, and Hodges worked on the Lampadian, the fraternity maga- zine. Dr. C. O. Williams delivered an address on the "History of the De- velopment of the Phi Sigma Pi Fra- ternity mentioning that one of its founders. Dr. E. L. Hendricks, had recently died. Student Worker ?THANK VOL, SO MUCH A word of hearty commendation is in order for the Administration of this college and the dining hall authorities for the improvement in the quality and preparation of meals served recently. This manner of meeting the students more than half-way on the part of the college authorities is a source of satisfaction to discerning students. Members of the student body are of the opinion that there has been a decided improvement in the food situation. The task of serving a thousand persons t day is a difficult one, and those individuals charged with that responsibility riehlv deserve a tribute from students in the words of a popular song Thank You. So Much EYES ON THE PURSE STRINGS In the interest of democratic student government, the suggestion that the appropriations made by the Budget Committee be approved by the Student body as a whole is especially pertinent. Under the old Constitution, a committee was created to divide the funds derived from Student Activity Fees and make apportionments to the various agencies carrying on the work of the Student Body. Under that set-up, the action by the committee was final. There was no opportunity given to the entire student body to discuss and directly determine to what use their money was put. It is an established fact that a committee must be used to perform the detailed work of financial appropriations, but there is no democratic reason why the action of a small committee should be final. This point is one which can be referred to the members of that com- mittee now working on a new constitution for the Student Body with the admonition that in a democracy every individual has the right to a voice and vote in determining how his government spends his money. Home Ec Club Hears Mrs. Ethel Smith Mrs. Fstelle T. Smith, southeast- ern district supervisor for Home Demonstration Work, gave a talk to the Home Economics Club at its regular meeting, Tuesday evening, March 7. The speaker congratulated those present for having taken Home Economics and stated that they were unable to meet the demand for well- trained Home Economics teachers. "The greatest service that Home Demonstration Work has ever ren- dered was opening the way for girls to attend college financed through loans by the clubs Mrs. Smith stated in her address. As a challenge to those going out in the field of Home Economics, the supervisor urged that the girls "give of themselves and their knowledge to the fullest extent CAMPUS BREVITIES The History Club was entertained by an informal party celebrating George Washington's birthday Tues- day, February 27 at 0:30 in the Y hut.

Phi Sigma held its regular month- ly meeting on Tuesday night and voted in new members who were eligible to join the organization. MISS NAN MORGAN Miss Nan Morgan of Ruston, Louisiana, began her work as the second Baptist Student Secretary at K.C.T.C, February 20. Miss Morgan is taking the place of Mrs. J. E. Savage, formerly Miss Anne Down- ey, who came to the college May 1, 1938. The new secretary has been serv- ing as B.S.U. Field Worker for the Education Department of the Louisi- ana Baptist Convention since March, 1938. She was graduated from Louis- iana Polytechnic. Institute and has done graduate work at Louisiana State University. The Lanier Society met last nigh and nominated officers for the com- ing year. "Hobbies" were discussed, and the club divided into hobby groups. The club also agreed to start a scran book on Sidney Lanier. a col- lection of epitaphs, and a collection of seals from different colleges. F RENCH ASHION ADS MUSIC STOCK GOING IIP! Recent contributions by the Music Department to the enjoyment and activity of the entire student body are worthy of commendable note. In addition to furnishing a hand and classical orchestra, members of the Music Department have written an Alma Mater and a "fight" song to add much to the expression of school spirit. The student body appreciates the initiative and progressive activity of this phase of college life.

By BARBARA KEUZENKAMP Gaiety and laughter is in the air, and Paris sends you some more spring news. Sparkling eyes peeping up at you from under saucy little hats that are made from most every- thing and almost nothing. Perhaps you would like a jaunty, flat draped silk jersey sailor hat, or perhaps you prefer. Mademoiselle, a bit of white silk wound in a flat circle and topped with a big cluster of black velvet bows? Everywhere they're swathing the face and neck in veils, and some of the veils even fall almost to your waist. If you prefer felts, you can get one of the new ones ranging in color from natural to burnt tones. Sailors, with slightly turned up brims are heralds of spring. Crowns are shallow in front and high to- wards the back. For evening, when you're dancing, wear a mantilla of lace. Your evening dress for less formal wear, can be made of enchanting light cottons, pique, dotted Swiss, organdy, or even linen if you like a tailored evening dress. They are so fresh looking and simple to keep that way. So when you buy your new Easter evening dress, choose one of cotton if you want to be ultrasmart. Amusez-vous bein!

Coach Lucille Norton's Pirate Lassies capped a perfect cage season last Saturday night when thev downed the College of Charleston on the enemy territory with a score of 32-25. This was the East Caro- linians fifth win out of five starts, chalking up for them a seasonal percentage of 1000. Nosing out an early lead, the Sea Roverettes kept just ahead of the South Carolinians during the first quarter, but as the second period rolled around they gradually pulled away from their hosts and at inter- mission, the score read 17-0. It was in the third quarter that offensive tactics by both teams werel brought to an almost complete stand-) still, the defensive walls of both teams nearly impenetrable. The in- vaders' defense yielded two field goals, while the Charleston bulwark- blocked all field shots and yielded only one point on a free throw. With the score reading 18-13 at the open- ing of the final period, both aggre- gations staged a scoring marathon which raged for the entire quarter with the East Carolinians emerging victors at the final whistle 32-25. Jenkins, of Charleston, led the floor in scoring honors, gathering 15 tallies, followed closely by Eileen Tomlinson's total of 14. 'Hopkins rang second for the Lady Bucs with 10 and Kim Tomlinson' and Butler chalked up 4 points each. Coach Norton used ten players to take her second victory of the year over the girls of the historic city. The Charlestonians played eight. The Teachers made 24 of their points by the field goal route, vield- ing only eight field goals to "their foes. Line up: Pos.
