From 40 Counties
Meadows to Welcome Visit-
ors; Adams Heads Committee
Preparations are being made for entertaining approximately 3,000 high
school seniors and their teachers from one hundred and twenty-five 3choola
in forty counties. As the Teco Echo goes to press fifty-eight schools from
twenty-nine counties have accepted the invitations that were sent them.
It is estimated that this year's attendance will top that of last year by at
least five hundred.
Seventeen committees from the faculty and student body are at work
planning entertainment of various types for the guests.
Dr. Carl L. Adams is chairman of the central committee which is com-
posed of the following faculty members: Misses Grigshy, Holtzclaw, and
Greene, Mrs. Barrett, Dr. McGinnis, and Mr. Deal. Other committees
are taking care of invitations, publicity, -eating, decorations, reception,
campus activities, campus visitations, pictures, danee. comity, luncheon,
and serving.
Classes will be dismissed after second period so that the college students
1 may devote the day to entertaining the visitors.
Program
The guests will arrive at 9:30 and register at the Robert II.
Wright Building. After registering they will be shown about the cam-
� - Opus by students. At 10:45 they will
assemble at the City Swimming
Pool for the march to the Wright
Building. The program at the as-
sembly in Wright Building Audi-
torium will be as follows: Music by

address by President Leon R.
Meadows, numbers by the college
Glee Clubs, announcements, and a
song, "Old North State,?! by the
entire assembly.
At 1:00 a barbecue luncheon

High School Day. an annual
event, was inaugurated four years
ago for the purpose of introducing
the high school seniors of the State
to the college life at ECTC. In plan-

seniors a bird's-eye view of college
life in its serious and recreational
aspects. With this idea in mind,

Death of Mrs. Blaney Taylor
Shocks Host of Campus Friends
Brief Illness Fatal
To Former Student
The sudden death of Mrs. Blaney
Taylor of Choeowinity, formerly
Miss Fannie Brewer, shocked and
grieved the students and faculty of
East Carolina Teachers College.
Mrs. Taylor died Monday morning,
April 3, in the River View Hos-
pital, Washington, N. C, after a
brief illness.
Services were held Tuesday
morning in Choeowinity, but the
body was taken to her former home,
Clarksville, Tennessee, for inter-
ment.
A number of college students and
members of the faculty attended the
services,in Choeowinity. Mrs. Tay-
lor, class of '38, was, as a student,

Christian Association, the Junior
and Senior "Y" Cabinets, the Stu-

was rated as perhaps the leading
State teachers college of the entire
South at the recent eight-day ses-
sion of the Southern Association
of Colleges and Secondary Schools,
reported Dr. Meadows. Dr. Mead-
ows has just returned from the ses-
sion in Memphis. Tennessee, at
which annual examinations of such
institutions are held.
Maintaining its present high rec-
ord, the college met every require-
ment. The faculty of East Caro-
lina Teachers College has for some-
time been ranked by the American
Association of Teachers Colleges as
one of the three best trained in all
the two hundred state teachers col-
leges in the United States.
The theme of the various pro-
grams was "The Second Recon-
struction of the South All the
speakers of the programs were men
of southern origin. They offered
many suggestions concerning the
training needed by boys and girls
to fit them to meet the responsibili-
ties of a new South.
As the conference was in the re-
gion of his old home, Dr. Meadows
saw at the meeting a large number
of his old friends, classmates, and
I former pupils.

IS VII DIM .0 I ltll VI A FAILURE?
When the government of a democracy fails to carry out the legally
expressed will of a majority of irs citizenship, it displays a fatal weakness
in the body politic. Simv the Women's Student Government Association
is the � . i organization and embraces eighty percent of the student body,
the lead in carrying our the desires of this entire student body is vested

1,073 Students
Register Here
For Spring Term
Registration for the spring quar-
ter has reached a total of 1,073
students enrolled thus far.
By the last day of registration it
is expected that the total will be
somewhat increased.
Of the 1,073 students, 910 are
women and 163 are men.
The four girls' dormitories house
758 girls while 28 boys room in
the basement of Ragsdale. In addi-
tion to the 780 dormitory students
e are 287 day students living
in Greenville or nearby towns. One

rsl of these is the matter of the restoration of the nightly dancing
the W right Building. Some time ago a mass meeting of the
adopted a resolution requesting the administration to restore
ge. Officers of the administration apparently misinterpreted
and the reply was made that students would be allowed to
; social hour thret evenings per week. Student Government
tt back humbly and accepted the ultimatum of the administration.
atti mpts were made by those officers to secure a satisfactory
i solution. The Woman's Student Government has been
unfaithful to tl � trust placed in it by the student body.

constitution that would meet the growing needs of a co-educational I hundred and fifty-two of these are
tution. A committee was appointed by the Woman's Student Govern- women and 133 are men.
: with the chairmanship delegated to a member of the Women's! There are 27 new students this
Kjiation. At this writing that committee has had one meeting, and quarter, of which eight are men and
way of results has been reported to the student body. Either
ition that sponsors such a committee is woefully inefficient,
se persons in the "inner circle" are so anxious to preserve the
locratic status quo" that they are content to bury reform under
ist of ind '� rence. In either event, the matter as it stands to date
ents anothi r failure in carrying on the duties vested in the Women's
nt Government Association.
To these damaging failures can be added the pitiful attempts of the
W.S.G.A. to conduct the recent elections for the student body. The con-
stitutional provision for an "Australian Ballot" was completely ignored
by the poll holders, and the voting place became a hang-out for high-
pressure politicians and their crews. Ballots were strewn from one end
of Austin Building to the other and disorder was the menu for the day.
That election was unconstitutional, undignified, and farcial. It represents
.�� tl r failure on the part of Women's Student Government.

WORTHY OF SUPPORT
Definite organization of a branch of the Young Men's Christian Asso-
ciation on the campus of East Carolina Teachers College is now an
assured fact. This association is the direct result of a need felt by the
men here and an indirect result of the inspiration and help given by the
Young Women's Christian Association.
An organization of this kind can mean a great deal to this student
body. Membership is not restricted to men students only, but male mem-
ber- of the faculty are invited and urged to join and participate in its aetivi-
es. This fact alone offers the opportunity for the men of the student body
and faculty to meet on a common ground for a noble cause.
It is probable that the activities of the Y.W.C.A. and Y.M.C.A. will
be coordinated in certain phases for the mutual advantage of both or-
ganizations. This opportunity of fellowship in Christian service is one
that should not be ignored.
The Y.M.C.A. is worthy of the hearty support of every man on the
mpus of East Carolina Teachers College.
19 are women. One hundred and
fourteen students dropped out of
school this quarter. Twenty-eight
of these are men and 86 are women.
This term's enrollment is sur-
passed bv that of last quarter of

JUSTIFICATION FOR PRIOE
East Curolina Teaehers College can well afford to le proud of the man-
ner in which dances are conducted here. It would he absurd to maintain
that a state of perfection exists while the campus dances are in progress,
but when the comparison is made with the type of behavior followed at
dances in general, this college need make no excuses.
How to have a good time in the right way is a valuable lesson to learn
and teach in this topsy-turvy, rushing world.

By BARBARA KENZENKAMP
When the weather is cool, as it
has been these past few clays, you
will again wear your black jersey
and light wool dresses. So as not
to lose the spring atmosphere in
the air, perk your dresses up with
fresh, white, waffle pique collars and
cuffs. The French women are known
for their use of white trimmings on
black dresses.
Did you know that in 1915, smart
women were ready for the season
with one superb suit and a large
wardrobe of beautiful blouses? And
it's an entirely chic thing to do
again this spring. Buy at least one
blouse of absinthe � the color with
the veiled sparkle and the most sub-
tle of all the yellows.
It's new to:
Wear dark midnight green in-
stead of navy blue.
Set your hat on straight, and at
the same time to pull it down till
it just grazes the bridge of your
nose.
Tie your hat on with streamers
of veiling.
Wear a quilted silk evening bo-
lero.
And to use either the mauve or
white lilac. The lilac is the new
floral motif of this spring, as the
lily of the valley was last spring.
A number of the new shoe styles
are from de Busschere of Bruges
(Flanders in Belgium). Thep rep-
resent the old world craftsmen who
have sewn shoes for four centuries.
Shoe styles are more varied this
year than they have been for sev-
eral years. You have an amusing
and delightful group to choose
from, including the spool, wedge,
and dutch boy heel styles. So choose
your shoes with an eye open for the
new styles of this year, aud you'll
walk smartly in the fashion parade!

The
members of the club also
have to look forward to April 19
as the day for their club trip. This
year the trip will be made to New

Williamsburg. Virginia, for its
beautiful architecture.
Miss Rosalie Ivey made the club
members feel the signficance of the
Women's Symposium at Duke Uni-
versity, March 31, through April 2.
Many deans and presidents from
colleges over the United States at-
tended and Miss Ivey mentioned
that we are proud of having so
many notables on a southern cam-
pus.
Mrs. Adelaide Bloxton next gave
an illustrated talk showing how food
deficiencies can retard development
�even causing death. Many people
have blamed some abnormality to
inheritance when probably a glass
of milk added to a little sunshine
daily would have erased" the ab-
normality.
A word to the wise is sufficient.3'
Let us think more about how to
prevent abnormal development than
about how to cure it.

He was none other than that horse-

The question of what we should
do about war, he further added, is
the hardest moral problem an Amer-
ican has to face today. He pointed
out the two ways that men have
always faced moral problems. One
may take the way of the idealist
who believes the evil in question
must be fought with extreme means
regardless of other things. The
other way is that of the realist, who
believes that flie lesser of the two
evils must be chosen.
Think about this question of atti-
tude and form now "before the
drums begin to beat he urged.
In closing Dr. Eddy listed sev-
eral things that Americans can do
to help keep out of war. He sug-
gested that we avoid all entangling
alliances, strive to keep America out
of war, strive to keep the world out
of war, avoid selfish isolation, seek
to give justice as the earmarks of
the foundation of peace, interna-
tionalize the Monroe Doctrine, and
open our gates to more war refugees,
thereby enriching our national life
and allowing our full quota of im-
migrants of all nationalities.
After speaking here, Dr. Eddy
returned to Raleigh to participate
in the Institute of Human Rela-
tionships.
Two Hundred
Fail At Least
One Subject
Today there are 1,350,000 stu-
dents enrolled in U. S. colleges and
I placed my arm around her neck, universities.
Two hundred and twelve stu-
dents failed one or more subjects
last quarter. This is a decided de-
crease of twenty-eight over the
number who failed last quarter.
Forty-eight students flunked out
or did not pass nine hours of the
work carried. These forty-eight per-
sons failed a total of 384 hours or
an average of eight hours each.
One hundred and sixty-four
other persons flunked one or more
subjects. They failed a total of 554
hours or an average of 3.4 hours
each.
The total number of students
flunking, failed a total of 908 hours-

Girls Take Part
In Intramurals
Girls' spring intramurals got
under way last week with the run-
ning off of the table-tennis tourna-
ment, in which Betty Summersill,
of Ayden, copped the first place
by defeating Lyla Watts in the
finals. Carolyn Hamric and Doro-
thy Dalrymple tied for third place.
Plans for the soft-ball tourna-
ment between dormitories took a
forward step last week when prac-
tices were started to get the girls in
shape for the tournament. Lucille
Norton stated that the schedules
had not been made out at the time
of this publication, but the games
would be played in a " round-robin"
scheme, so that each team would
play every other team. She an-
nounced that intramurals will
probably begin the early part of
next week.
Approximately 100 girls have
turned out for soft-ball practices.
The home-run record is receiving
many boosts by Eilleen and Kim

From more than fifty appli-
cants, the administration of East
Carolina Teachers College chose
O. A. Hankner to fill the place of
Director of Physical Education left
vacant when J. D. Alexander re-
signed at the end of the Winter
quarter. Mr. Hankner left a posi-
tion as Physical Director of Eureka
College, Eureka, Illinois.
Mr. Hankner received his high
school diploma from Tripoli High
School in Tripoli, Iowa back in
1925. He was awarded Bachelor of
Arts and Master of Arts degrees by
the University of Illinois and has
done graduate work at Xew York
University toward his Doctorate.
Since 1930, Mr. Hankner has had
instructing and directing experience
at the University of Illinois, Xew-
man School at Xew Orleans, Wis-
consin State Teachers College, Xew
York University, Dalton School in
Nlew York City, Lookout Mountain
Camp for Boys at Cloudland, Ga
and Eureka College.
In high school, Hankner (short-
ened to "Hank" by his friends)
won four letters each year in foot-
ball, basketball, baseball, and track,
serving as captain on the baseball
and track teams in his senior year.
When "Hank" entered the Uni-
versity of Illinois he played all four
major sports in his freshman year.
Due to a shoulder injury sustained
in freshman football, he was unable
to continue with Varsity football,
but in his junior and senior years
Hankner made the Varsity track
squad. He threw the javelin and
discus and high-jumped.
In regard to the future athletic
program of the college, Coach
Hankner stated that Mr. Alexander
had taken a surprising number of
forward steps in the past two years,
and that he would attempt to keep
up this progressiveness toward the

Double header.
Coach Gordon Gilbert's baseball
squad suffered a severe loss before
their opening game of the season
when "Jew" Ayers, the Corsairs'
veteran catcher was crtically injured
in a recent automobile accident.
Avers was returning to Greenville
after a week-end in Rocky Mount,
his home town, when the car in
which he was riding met another
car traveling at a high speed in
head-on collision. Ayers sustained
a fractured pelvic bone, serious
bruises, and minor injuries. He
was confined to a Pocky Mount
hospital until a few days ago when
he was removed to his home.
The Pirate has been a letter man
in three sports for the past four
years. He has taken an interested
part in many other phases of outside
activities on the campus. His plans
to graduate after one term of sum-
mer school have been altered but
