as the
Campus Vacated
Who said the students here
get homesick? The temptation
of going home for the "fourth
week-end" was too good to
miss. About 600 students left
for a glorious break in the old,
monotonous routine.
And the campus was so quiet
from Saturday noon until Sun-
day night that the remainder
of the students might have well
imagined themselves sleeping
again at the old homestead.
Those who went home had
fun. Students who remained
on the campus had fun, too.
They didn't fail to enjoy a

Spooky Delight Afforded Sophs
At Flashy Masquerade Ball
By PATSY McINTYRE
The Seniors entertained the Soph-
omores at a delightful masquer-
ade ball in the Robert H. Wright
building on Saturday night, Oc-
tober 28.
The building was artistically dec-
orated, as designed by Marena Rob-
inson, carrying out a Halloweeai
theme. Bats flew overhead; while
the witch on the back drop flew on
a broom stick over the moon. Black
cats trailed the railing of the bal-
cony. The columns were covered in
the Halloween colors black and
orange.
The variety of costumes ranged
from the striped suits of convicts
to the beautiful old colonial dresses
with hoop skirts. Handsome cow-
boys from Texas, Chinese with their
black eyes and pig tails, hideous pi-
rates in their boots, short pants, and
becoming head gear roamed over
the floor in rhythm with Budy Wal-
ters and his orchestra. Beautiful
girls in the dresses that were the
height of style when their grand-
mothers wore them in the gay nine-
ties, fairy queens, and gypsies with
all the color one associates with them
danced with the gentlemen.
They say that typical of Hallowe-
en, a skeleton greeted the visitors at
the door. And do you ever remember
a Halloween party without someone
dressing as a black cat? Well, the
blackest of the black cats was there
in person.
A unique costume was that of an
old fashioned bathing suit with the
bloomers, the inevitable full skirt,
puffed sleeves, a broad collar, and,
of course, the long grey stockings
were not forgotten.
Whether or not anyone carried
peanuts I do not know, but there was
a big grey elephant on the floor that
might have consumed them.
Future teachers, here's a tip when
you begin wearing a wig�be careful
of your cigarettes. I believe, some-
one left minus some hair Saturday
night.

Vatae of Campus Organizations
Most students will agree with the declaration that many Ameri-
cans feel lost if thev are not affiliated with some organization,
v. ether it be social, educational or religious.
The main purpose behind campus organizations is to develop
objectives that will promote a feeling among its members that
V time a person spends in the interest of the group is for his own
benefit.
It a student joins an organization solely for associating his
name with that particular unit and fails to take an active interest
, his club or society, he is not accomplishing the purpose of the
organization, nor is he deriving experience that will prove mval-
i title in the future.
When a student is graduated from college, be is confronted with
the social responsibility of getting along with others. Unless one
l. ��- how to do this, he will not enjoy the fruit of wholesome living.
Campus organizations aid students in getting along with others.

Why Study?
"I don't have to do intensive studying. My instructors discuss
t xt material on class to the extent that I am able to obtain a
general conception of what the lesson is about. When I have a
test 1 don't make an outstanding grade, but I do manage to get
by. Wh should 1 keep my nose in a book all the timer" Such is
. � attitude of the student who never really learned why lie came
to college.
Even if a student has stacks of green dollars as bis future
. uancial foundation, he is headed for a tumble if his purpose in
learning is merely "getting by Success in life is not attained
.bv those who adhere to the policy of "just getting by No college
i � place a student on easy street, but it can give him the impetus
tackling unforeseen problems of tomorrow.

Obeying Regulations
Through the ages, laws have liecome.a necessity for all races
because people have failed to live harmoniously without rules.
Campus regulations are made because schools are attended by
some students who are unable to live without having reminders
of what is right and what is wrong pounding their car drums.
Unless a student can acquire respect for law, he will become a
liability instead of an asset in the world of tomorrow. Then, too,
if a student is to become a teacher, he will not only be required to
respect law, but will find himself demanding respect for rules
which he sets up for his pupils.
To the Editor:
Recently an expression w a s
brought to our attention, in a rather
abrupt and unexpected manner, of
the futility of the efforts of the
present staff of our Pieces of Eight
magazine. Among other things, our
efforts have been compared, some-
what pointlessly and narrow-mind-
edly, to a dictatorship being inade-
quately headed by some "alien" who
has the "oomph and tenacity of
character to persuade a number of
his heat friends to collaborate with
him in publishing a magazine for
whatever profit possible. As a mem-
ber of the magazine staff, I am able
to say that this viewpoint is one
which some perverse, non-coopera-
tive, or misinformed person has
cooked up for reasons of his own.
After trying our best, and after
putting out a good deal of work in
something we want everybody to ap-
preciate, it was with surprise, dis-
appointment, and, I must say, in-
dignation, that we received such
criticism as we have had even before
the first issue has been published
It is to be expected that our first
attempt at something utterly new
and untried will be more or less fee-
ble, but even an attempt should be
met with an optimistic outlook on
the part of the student body, and
not with belittlings and ridicule.
The idea of a college magazine
was first brought to the attention of
the school last spring just before
school was over; therefore, not much
preparation could be made for a
magazine for this year, hut at the
beginning of the fall quarter, sev
eral students went to work with a
formalities before the Publications
Hoard. As to the Budget Committee :
It would be foolish to think of ask-
ing the Budget Committee to ad-
vance funds to something as prema-
ture as our magazine without assur-
ance and proof that it would go over
and be supported by the student body
as a wdiole.
Student, if is up to you! If you
want a good magazine, you must do
your part; if you want another staff
to shoulder this responsibility, that
is also absolutely up to you! Sever
accuse any students in our position
of harboring dictatorial schemes and
monopolistic practices � say, in-
stead, that the students of this insti-
tution have in them something akin
to a pioneer spirit accompanied by
some simple, whole-hearted school
spirit where ECTC is the profitee
and not several students. Do not look
upon their well meant efforts with
disdain � try to add something that
will help them instead of hinder.
Give us a chance � that is all we
can ask; that is the least we can
expect! Pat Brooks.
P. S The staff as a whole would
appreciate comment from those stu-
dents whose minds are free of preju-
dices against the magazine which are
caused by jealousy or selfishness.

To the Students:
What is wrong with football at our
eollege? Is football here at ECTC
just another class in Physical Edu-
cation? Kegardless, the game here
does not resemble football at other
schools. Why are our boys permit-
ted to smoke an unlimited number
of cigarettes, or allowed to smoke
at all? If there is a training table,
what is it like?
You who are cheer leaders, in my
opinion, should stir up enthusiasm
throughout the week preceding a
home game. Where are our mega-
phones ?
And another thing, who are our
football players anyway? They
should be introduced in assembly to
the student body. Our football games
should be announced in assembly.

Amon� The Alumni I
The Wiiiterville Chapter of the
East Carolina Teachers College
Ahmini Association enjoyed a ban-
quet Wednesday evening, October 25.
Mr. Edith Koines AVorthington,
president of the Chapter, acted as
to&stmistress. Enthusiasm of the
group was aroused at the very be-
ginning by the singing of the Col-
lege Song. Mrs. Bruce Ellis Boyd
gave a toast to the College to which
Dr. Leon U. Meadows responded.
Miss Evelyn Iliunant delightfully
entertained with a Halloween read-
ing. Miss Kmnia Hooper delivered
liit address of the evening in which
she stated several reasons for the
importance of organized alumni.
The Halloween motif was effec-
tively used in decorations and menu.
Dear Alumni:
I haven't, as yet. received any
answer from my last letter to you,
but you sec I am here again, and
this time I'm asking a very special
favor.
Xow please don't raise your hands
in holy horror and shout "I'm so
busy! 1 just haven't the time If
one could wear out an excuse then
that one about not having time
would have been discarded years
ago,
L have heard it said many times
that if you wanted anything donej
ask the busiest person to do it, and
it has been my good fortune to oh- j
serve the truth in that statement.
In a town where I taught for a j
number of years, there was a music
teacher, a local person of unusual j
talent, ability, charm, generosity,
and 1 might add endurance; for in
addition to her teaching a full sched-
ule, she was organist at the church,
attended prayer meetings and choir
practices regularly on Wednesday
nights; was an active member of the
Literary Clubs of the town, assisted
in all weddings and funerals; com-
posed music for her pupils; visited
the aged and sick, wrote cheery notes
in rhyme to shut-ins; yet she never
fussed and fumed and rushed madly
around. Superhuman did you say?
Maybe she was, but I am somewhat
inclined to think that she just did
things instead of standing around
fuming about what she had to do.
Xow please don't think that I do
not know how many demands are
made of teachers, but what I am
groins to ask vou to do will afford
you so much pleasure that it can
easily be classed a reception. A
friend of mine once said to me,
"One is never so happy as when
talking about oneself This is your
golden opportunity. I think every-
one is more or less interested in the
doings of others especially when you
have longed to do that thing yourself
and couldn't.
Daring the summer months num-
bers of you had interesting trips.
Some traveled abroad, to the World's
Fair, Canada, and points of interest
in our own state. You saw many in-
teresting sights; you saw comedy
and tragedy; you saw plots for short
stories unfold before your very eyes.
Xow why lock these experiences in
your memory? Why not share them

Blount - Harvey
with your less fortunate sister and
brother alumni. You kept notes of
course, or maybe a diary, and you've
been meaning to reorganize your
notes ever since your return, so
here is your opportunity. Write up
your trip in your best and most in-
teresting and entertaining style, or
maybe you would like to elaborate
on one special phase or incident,
and mail them to me on or before
November 20 and you might be sur-
prised at what will happen. Let me
see who will be the first.
Let me urge you not to allow
yourself to neglect to file in writing
some happening you wish to remem-
ber. You think at the time, "Well,
I never will forget that but other
experiences come crowding in and
before you know it the thing you
thought you never would forget.has
become hazy. Of course candid cam-
eras are just the thing, but they are
just a little ritzy for the rank and
file, so my suggestion is a dime scrap
book. As we grow older, we become
more retrospective, and changes take
place that give more time for medi-
tation. Tuck away all the pleasant
memories possible and keep scrap
books; and one day you'll feel the
urge to relive those experiences
again. Thumb the pages of your
scrap book and I wager you'll chuckle
all day.
Some day real soon I hope you
will be able to paste on a very
special page in your scrap book an
Recount of some beautiful picture,
humorous incident, written by you
about your "Summer Wanderings
It will be your pride and joy, and
think how happy all of us will be to
be able to journey with you. You
will be doing us an especial favor.
Sincerely,
Elizabeth Stewart Bennett,
Pres. ECTC Alumni Asso.

football enthusiasts of the faculty
