W. Picklesimer at the February meeting of the Green- ville chapter of the ECTC Alumnae. This meeting was held in the "Y" hut Friday night, February 2. Mrs. Picklesimer confined her discussion to the three great women columnists, Dorothy Dix, Dorothy Thompson, and Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt. She showed in her discussion how each of these women in her own in- dividual manner is reaching the eyes and ears of the public today. The influence of these three women is being felt more and more every day. Aliss Elizabeth Smith presided at the business meeting in the absence of the president, Mrs. Harry Forbes and the vice president, Mrs. Henry Harrell. After reading the minutes, Miss Smith welcomed the new mem- bers, Mesdames Patsy Glass, A. P. Mathews, R. W. Davenport, George Clapp, and De Koek Vincent. Quests for the evening were Dr. and Mrs. llilldrup. The meeting was adjourned after the hostesses, Mesdames F'd Hester, Dupree Griggs, and Tyson Bilbro had served tempting refreshments. Mr. E. C. Hollar occupied the pulpit in the Ay den and Winterville Memorial Baptist churches last Sunday at the morning and evening services, in the absence of Hew Frank Morris who was out of the county for the dav.

Mr. Crooks' career began when he sang as boy soprano soloist at the Ocean Grove, New Jersey Auditorium at nine years of age. He is now in his thirties and has to stand a lot of gaff from people who "remember his voice twenty-five years ago When he was twelve, he sang in the Trenton Music Festival as co-star with Schumann Ileink who predict- ed great things for him. lie had no money for music lessons and worked to earn it. At seventeen, he loaded ice into wagons for twenty cents an hour. He says this helped , to expand his chest! After studying in Xew York he I got his first job at the age of twenty, as the first tenor in the Pifth Avenue Presbyterian Church. He j was offered a loan of ten thousand ; dollars to study abroad and turned it down, preferring his independ- ! ence. At twenty-one he married his j childhood sweetheart, and now has an ideal home life. Mr. Crooks was offered a "Met i contract five years before lie ae- , cepted it. hut when he did make his ; debut in l)-5 he stopped the show with thirty-seven curtain calls. He i has won acclaim with the dozen leading roles he has sung at the : "Met" since then, and ranks among j the Company's most popular meni- hers on both sides of the footlights. '� He is also the only member of the I Metropolitan Opera to continue on i a radio program of his own for eight l consecutive years. Pochard Crooks says that he has heard people say that male opera stars are sissies. "I'd like to ex- plode that notion he said. People get it. perhaps, because of the fancy clothes and the stage kisses. Well, the costume is no more than a work- ing uniform. And the stage kisses are contracted at a distance of some six inches. The trick is in bending over at the right angle Mi Crooks also expressed his opinion on the way people ap- proached classical music saying, "As long as we keep on thinking of music as a form of education and culture instead of as an emotional pleasure, we miss the point of the thing. Music is part of the natural scheme of life. Everybody sings, hums or whistles something. It's the 'sports�approach to music that we need to cultivate, that is an ap- proach that is more spirited, gayer and more adapted to the every-day lives of people Seniors Present Stage Door siiwSfts '� Pictured are leads in senior play, "Stage1 Door Upper row reading from left to right are: David Breece, who plays the part of Keith Burgess ; Jane Copeland, who appears as Ker- ry Puuidall, the young stage aspirant and Ward James, who plays the part of David Kingsley.

Members of the club participated. The gifts were donated by the local merchants. The money made will be used to bring a well known speaker to the campus. Pieces of Eight, the newest pub- lication on the campus, was brought under the publication hoard by the vote of a majority of the students at a recent mass meeting. This move was first discussed at the regular meeting of rhe publica- tion board at which time a eommit- tee composed of Dorothy Hollar, editor of the Teco Echo and Harvey Deal, editor of the Tecoan, was ap- pointed to meet with George Lautares and Alton Paine, editor and business manager of the maga- zine respectively, to debate the pros and eon- of the question. After this consideration the hoard again met and the members derided to present it at mass meeting where it was approved after little discussion and passed by a majority vote. The magazine now has the right to ask for an appropriation from the budget committee which must first be approved by the publication hoard. Its staff will be elected by the student body and every student will receive each of the copies of Pieces of Eight. This will give it equal rights with the Teco Echo and the Tecoan. auspices of the Association For Childhood Education and the Young Women's Christian Association.

But it's only Miss Jenkins who plays Aunt Polly and goes to get her Tom Sawyer. Oral English was made royal comedy the day a little boy decided to "cut A diller, a dollar, this ten o'clock scholar was determined not to be one that day. It so happened that Miss Jenkins had presented a paper to each one in her class, and intended for the class to keep them. Apparently the wanderer was under the impression that they were to be returned. Therefore, on Ais particular morn- ing, Mercury, a little girl, bore a message of vital import. With all the precision of a Western Union Telegraph boy, she handed Miss Jenkins the dispateh, the fateful paper, with word that the sender could not come to class that day. "Wait a minute boomed Miss Jenkins determinedly. "I know- where he is And this purpose- ful woman took off. Off she flew to the old swimming hole where all ECTC truants go�namely the "Y" store.

The dan of the association is to assure a numher of Greenville children o' a college education by providing a system whereby their parents may lay away a certain amount of money weekly. When the child comes of college age there will he sufficient money saved to staid that child through college. for any Inn or jjirl entering the first or second grade of the Greenville Schools this year, under this plan. $.()4 per week will assure him of one year in college: $1.25 per week assures him of two years in college; $�.50 per week will assure him of four years in college. In a letter to the Home Building and Loan Association. Dr. Meadows wrote: "It seems to me that you are doing a very fine thing in opening up an educational series in your Building and Loan Association, for the purpose of helping young men and women through college. You are not only encouraging thrift in those who are saving the amount necessary for college expenses but you are also opening up an opportunity for the boys and girls to prepare themselves for greater usefulness in life.

The Y.M.C.A. and the Y.W.C.A. did not have to open their cabinet room to the use of the students, but they were kind enough to want to let others enjoy their room, their magazines, their books, and their comfortable chairs. So they opened their doors to the whole college. They spent money and time in fixing up this room so that it would be just as convenient and comfortable as possible. Thev bought many of the leading magazines to place around the room and thev bought good modernistic lamps which provide the best light possible for reading. They bought ash trays so that the students might smoke in there, and they built book cases to accommodate stray books and magazines. In addition to this, the "Y" members spent many hours working down there getting the place ready for use. And to what avail did they spend all this money and time? Only to have their reading room and their property abused and kicked around. What a disillusion to have trusted the students in taking advantage of an extended privilege and then lose it by virtue of not being able to respect the rights of others and failing to adhere to established principles of good manners. One thing that hurt so badly about the use of the room was the fact students abused their privileges in there when the room was provided by two religious organizations. Then too people who wanted to use the place as it should have been were made to feel out of place, because others who were abusing the privileges were so boisterous. The Y.W.C.A. and the Y.M.C.A. have no intention of sponsoring such things. The student body owes an apology to the two "YV for their misconduct and carelessness in the use of the "Y" Reading Room. Perhaps if the students can convince the "Y" cabinets that they can act decently and can respect others' property, they might consider reopening their room to the college. get all painted up for a date.

Mass meetings are the only time students can express their opinion before the student body. It is through these meetings that the worthwhile things concerning us take place, yet some of us have a dirty attitude toward these meet- ings. Every time we assemble in mass meeting the student body is in such a rush to get out that they vote for anything before them in order to get out. For what�I have no idea. At the last mass meeting the stu- dents were in such a rush to get out that they voted to do away with something and then voted to have another that included the same thing that they had just voted to do away with.

Flying the Flag To the Editor: Sometime ago there appeared a letter in this column asking that the flag be flown on the front campus. The administration shortly after- ward complied, and wre do have a flag flying in front of the Austin building. Contrary to the belief of many students, this flag is not flown in rain or snow, nor is it flown after dark. Every morning around seven o'clock workmen can be seen rais- ing the flag and every evening at five-thirty it is lowered. This pro- cedure takes place every day but Sunday unless inclement weather interferes. I think the student body would all agree that the flag flying on front campus adds a great deal to the looks of the school, and I here- by give my vote of thanks to the ad- ministration in appreciation for their cooperation. Aside from the good that flying the flag does on the campus, it can aid in swelling the pride of persons pass- ing the college in automobile or while walking. The street on which East Carolina Teachers College is situated is one of the six main high- ways radiating from Greenville. When visitors come here from neighboring towns and see the flag flying, they are certain to return to their respective towns and comment that a spirit of material democracy apparently prevails on the campus of East Carolina Teachers College.

Saying that both sides lost no matter which won technically, Mr. Crouch main- tained that we would have war until the people realized that man and not property is of supreme worth. Mr. Crouch said that when and only when a man was in contact with God could he le capable of his great- est development, do wonders in the world of property, and do a greater piece of work lifting up his fellow man.

Hilldrup SelectedlBy SHA Dr. LeRoy Hilldrup of the history faculty has recently been appointed on the membership committee of the Southern Historical Association for the year 1999-40. The Southern Historical Associa- tion is an organization for the pro- motion of interest and research in Southern history, the collection and preservation of the South's histori- cal records and the fostering of teaching and study in all branches of history in the South. Membership in the association is limited only to those interested in the South's history. Although the organization is designed primarily for college and university teachers and researchers, it should appeal also to ambitious high school his- tory teachers who are interested in Southern history. When interviewed concerning his appointment, Dr. Hilldrup stated that anyone interested in joining the Association might get in touch with him and he would furnish membership blanks. Hoover Taft, Greenville attorney, speaking at the Vespers at East Carolina Teachers College last night, told his audience of the "material advantages we may derive from following the Christian reli- gion In comparing concrete facts of re- ligion with abstract facts, Mr. Taft recalled how people in the era of the cave man worshiped the sun he- cause of the material advantages it gave them; how people of the Nile worshiped the great river because of its material advantages; how the people of India worshiped tin1 ele- phant because of the material ad- vantages he produced, and then drew the thoughts of his listeners to present-day life to show how material advantages can be had from following the Christian religion. He told his audience that some of them might call him a humanist �but "I'm not, since humanism completely overlooks immortality, one of the greatest factors of Chris- tian religion While speaking of the part law plays in the life of an individual, Mr. Taft explained that "law is not a positive force, hut a passive one, and we need more than law to motivate the mind of an in- dividual Home, marriage, respect for parents, and protection against ag- gression and adversity the speaker listed among the material advantages that most people of today in this country enjoy because they live under the influence of Christianity. "Is immortality worthy of taking as the truth because of the consola- tions we experience from such a belief in this life?" Mr. Taft asked his audience.

Sixty members of the Women's Athletic Association, along with Miss Helen McElwain, head of women's athletics at the college, will journey to Chapel Hill tomorrow and see two outstanding "Big Five" basket- ball teams in action. The girls will spend tomorrow night in Durham, attend the Sunday worship in the Duke University Chapel and return to Greenville Sunday afternoon. Although complete plans for the "Play Day" have not been mapped, it has been decided to hold the affair on February 17. It is known defi- nitely that representatives of Wom- an's College, U.N.C and Atlantic Christian College will be here. Other schools that have been sent invita- tions include Meredith and Black- stone. The program, including bas- ketball and indoor sports, will get started at 10 o'clock in the morning and he concluded around 4 o'clock in the afternoon. First round play in the "Round Robin" tourney of the intramural program got under way last week with nine teams entered in the com- petition.

Varsity Club is Really Forging Ahead! Never before in college history has the Varsity shown more progress than during the current school year. Heretofore the Varsity Club has sponsored successful dances and really went to the fore last quarter when it presented "The Milky Way Now they have something else planned�an idea destined to promote interest in athletics at East Carolma Teachers College. Their proposal calls for awarding trophies� to be purchased by the club�and bearing the name of contest winners. Instead of allowing the player to retain the trophy, however, it would be placed in a trophy case of the Varsity Club. Too much Emphasis on Athleties? Hamsav Potts of Greenville declared in a Vesper service recently that colleges and universities of the nation are placing too much emphasis on intercollegiate athletics. Most any person can reach sach,a.c?nac,1lon since developments in the field of sports is more widely publicized than educational progressiveness. We have no concrete j�J extent of the emphasis that is sandinehed around inter�llegiate sports, but we do know that such emphasis eontrnnes to realize decided growth. In our opinion, schools that emphasuze ffWk degree are not thinking about the physical development of men students enrolled in the school, but solely for the Pty the ?�M�- Duke University k mentioned, we de nottnkof the vauabk trainmg it gives it students, bat of the East-We elMsic ito IromJWJ Played in the Rose Bowl in Califami two tears ago More and more.the pnblic is thinking in terms of athletic teams a school turns �rt. Perhaps the schools are fakny dowrt in thek dmtr to pre ��" Va- cation and the public is given the wrong conception as a result. In an effort to promote continued interest in athletics among its mem- bers the Varsity Club is planning a well-rounded program in athletics for all members of the club, with the program set to get under way during the spring. Douglas Glover and Walter Mo- ritz, designated to work out a pro- gram for the Varsity Club, explained the activities would include all kinds of indoor sports such as badminton, table tennis, shuffleboard, darts and others. And here's a surprise. It is pos- sible that girls may be given an op- portunity to pair with the boys in tennis, ping pong and badminton doubles. Even though this idea is merely a proposal, the boys are said to be giving it serious consideration. Since the program has been de- signed solely for members of the Varsity Club, it has been decided to award trophies to champions in the various fields of sport featured in the competition. It was pointed out by Bill Shelton, president of the Varsity Club, that small trophies would go to certain winners, but would not be retained by them. The names of the winners will be placed on the trophies, which will be kept in a trophy case of the Varsity Club. Committeemen are slated to confer Saturday relative to improvise pres- ent plans and consider other pro- posals for the program. Aside from the intra-club athletic activities, the Varsity Club will sponsor its an- nual dance on March 23. Flans for the athletic events as well as the dance will he announced at a future date. East Carolina Teachers College scored 252 points against their op- ponents' 133 in four basketball games last week, all of which were played on the local court. Portsmouth's Y.M.C.A. cagers. which has one of the best records of a team in Tidewater competition in Virginia, were turned back 42-29 in a game played here on January 26. The Pirates led 20-17 at the half. One of the best games came on January 31 with the Raleigh White Flash. The capital city boys breezed to point-making procedures in the first and second half, winning 50-4S. The score was tied 24-24 at inter- mission. Rocky Mount's Y.M.C.A. cagers lacked strong offensive and defens- ive material in a game played on January 29 and resulted in a 79-27 victory for the determined Pirates, who were on the big end of a 31-15 half-time score. Louisburg College, which had only one left-over from last season, could not thwart the tactics of the favored- to-win Pirates last Saturday night and lost 83-27 for one of the largest scores ever put on the Pirate score- board in a basketball game. At in- termission, the Pirates were ahead 36-13. Donald Brock turned out to be the Pirates' scoring ace in all games com- bined, scoring 26 points in the White Flash game for the largest indi- vidual score of the four-day series. Brock scored 74 points in all the games. George Lautares, who scored 24 points in the Rocky Mount "Y" game had a combined record of 56 points for the four games. Bill Shel- ton was credited with 44 points in the four games. Harry Riddick, called for duty during all the games, turned in a fine offensive performance. Floyd Hinton was out of one of the games because of flu, but he did well in the others. Dave Watson was up to his usual good standard in the games. Jimmy Dempsey, who has seen quite a bit of action recently, fought hard in the games. Tom Cox has proved that he can display fine teamwork in a game, as has Kelly Martin. INJURED Walter Rodgers, popular E.C.T.C. athlete, is nursing an injury received recently in an intramural basketball game. Rodgers' physician ordered that he refrain from active par- ticipation in sports and that's what he's been doing for the time being. Although he cannot play bas- ketball any time soon with the Tigers, whom he captains in the intramural program, Rodgers is managing his team from the bench.

Since the early compilations, the largest score made by an individual team in the program was Walter Rodgers' Tigers, who scored 24 points against Bill Dudash's Wildcats, the latter team scoring 23 points in the same game. Recent standings showed the Lions with five wins and one loss. Walter Rodgers' Tigers are second in the standings with four wins and two defeats; R. H. Chadwick's Zebras are in third place with two wins and twice as many losses, while Bill Dudash's Wildcats are in the cellar with only one win.

Bed McCall sank a beautiful basket in the last five seconds to create the half-time deadlock. Bill Shelton, who opened the Pi- rates' scoring in the first verse, came back in the opening minute of the second half with a field goal. A minute later the score was deadlocked again, this time 26-26. Ealeigh was in front 4S-47 two minutes, 42 seconds, before the final horn. A gift shot by Raymond Payne gave his mates a 50-47 advantage and their last point-making of the game. A foul shot which Brock made good gave the Pirates a trailing score of 50-4S�and that's the way it ended. Harry Biddiek. who has shown more improvement than any other man on the squad this season, made a serious thrust for the basket in the last 40 seconds. Had it been good the game would have gone beyond the regulation distance. Missing the shot, however, was no fault of his own. Brock featured the scoring with 26 points. Lautares was next with 12. Jim Bennie and Junie Page fouled out of the game late in the second half. P. G. Hill, who has paved the way for State College in many games of yesteryear, scored 16 points for the winners.

It is indeed a pleasure and a privilege to serve both you and the college. March 9 marks a very im- portant day in the life of our college. It is celebrating Founders Day. The college was founded March 8, 1907, and we are using as Homecoming Day the ninth so that you�the majority of which are teachers �may conveniently attend. As a part of the program a new classroom building will be ded- icated and a century of Pub- lic Teacher Education in the United States commemorated. I know that you as alumni of the college will make every possible effort to attend the celebration. I have a very selfish motive in wanting you back home again for to me it will mean renewing acquaintances and meeting all of you that I do not know. As a willing novice in the work, I request you to start now making plans to reg- ister in the Robert H. Wright Building at 10:00 a.m Satur- day morning, March 9.
