Offices To Be Filled By Popular Vote Eight Graduates Receive Positions With nominations for officers of the Women's Student Government Association having been announced Since January 1, the following recently in a mass meeting, the worn- j graduates of East Carolina Teaeh- en students have now aimed their is political guns at the election to be held in Austin Building next Tues- day, March 12. Candidates for the following of- fices will be voted on: President, to attempt to prevent Congress from vice president, secretary and treas cutting the X.Y.A. apportionment urer of the Women's Student Gov- for next year. This is a counter move- ernment Association; Chairman of ment against a recent action on the the Campus f'ommittee; House pres- part of Congress to pass a bill cut- idents; and the editors and business ting the X.Y.A. funds by twenty- nine per cent. Reasons for this cut were based on a supposed twenty- nine per cent increase in the pros- perity of the nation. A petition signed by students from all the X.Y.A. colleges in the state was pre- sented to congress the latter part of February but this step seemed to have no effect so a meeting is being called to plan some method of halting such a cut. Representatives from E.C.T.C. are Yern Kuetemeyer, Harriet Marsh- burn, Carolyn Lambe, Helen Gray Gilliam, and Bill Davidson. Since 1923, 16 colleges and uni- versities have made R.O.T.C. op- tional or abolished it altogether. Puzzle Of Brick and Crushed Stone Put Together To Form New Building When you put 970,000 bricks, 5,280 bags of lime, 2,400 tons of crushed stone, and 462 windows to- gether and mix all of them, you are bound to get results. While it isn't advisable for the average college student to undertake such an Her- culean task, a group of workers with a couple of contractors can do the job very well. In the case of the col- lege the result was a new classroom building. What the result would be if an individual started the work� well, "there just ain't no tellin The area covered by the new class- room building is approximately 66 acres which would make a pretty good sized potato patch in any man's land. The people who have to wash the windows will only have to go over 4,500 square feet of window space. The person or persons who sweep the floors will have to do only five times as much as the window washers will do. Another dandy thought is what would happen to a person if the largest stone in the building, weigh- ing merely 9,037 pounds, fell on his head. That Avould make a nice little damp spot on the pavement. During the construction of the building, the average skilled brick- layer laid from 800 to 1,000 bricks a day which in itself ain't any mean trick. Of the funds used in the construc- tion, the state paid approximately 55 per cent and the federal govern- ment came in with a contribution of a slight 45 per cent. The average weekly wage of the workers on the building was about $12.00. The new building is a pipe lover's heaven. There are cold water pipes, hot water pipes, steam pipes, gas pipes, big pipes, little pipes, small pipes, smaller pipes, and just plain pipes. That's a pretty good sized pipe dream. Taking everything into considera- tion, we're glad somebody else did the work on the new building, some- body else will do the work, and we can just stand on the sidelines and watch. managers of Tecoan, Pieces of Eight and The Teco Echo. Those nominated are as follows: for President of Student Govern- ment, Doris Blalock, Erlene Saw- yer, Rebecca Shanks; for Yice pres- ident, Harriet Marshburn and Ida Ruth Snowies, Nominees for Sec- retary were Sara Gorham, Bessie Faye Hunt, Yirginia Elain, and Xell McCullen; for treasurer, Joyce Bunhan, Estelle Davis, Grace Ross, Edith Roebuck, Charlotte Shearin. Emily Murphy, Christine Trippe, Agnes Watson, Annie Laurie Keen, and Nancy Darden were put up for chairman of campus committee. The following were nominated for house presidents: Yirginia Whitley, Ruth Britt, Shirley Johnson, Myra God- frey, Margaret Reed, Dorothy Davis, Caroline Miles, Mary Elliott, Wilda Royall, Marjorie Baker, Maybelle Pollock, Evelyn Bazemore, Xan Lovelace, Elizabeth Stacey, Esabelle Johnson, Mildred Loverman, Celia Blanch Dail, Elizabeth Xoe, Ca- milla Bisset and Mary Bailey. ECTC Twin Freshmen To Represent State Misses Ruth and Clara Crumpler, freshmen from Greenville, X. C, have received an invitation from Governor Clyde R. Hoey to repre- sent the state of Xorth Carolina at the Annual College Twin Conven- tion to be held at Baylor University, Waco, Texas, April 5th and 6th. The appointment was made by Governor Hoey February 29, 1940. As yet the twins have not definitely decided to accept the invitation but they stated that they would prob- ably do so very soon. Graduates of Greenville high school, they entered school here winter quarter after an active high school career. Attractive programs for tomor- row's celebration have been arranged by Miss Sallie Joyner Davis. On the front they will have a picture of the new building and inside a catalog of the day's activities. These will be printed on substantial paper so that those who wish may keep them. Gov. Clyde R.

MEADOWS Research Article Written By Browne "A Xew Prospectus for Geogra- phy was the title of a research -article by Dr. W. A. Browne of East Carolina Teachers College that appeared in the January issue of the Journal for Geography. The article takes up p r e sent trends in the field, points out the contribution being made to society by the geographer even now and indi- cates the importance of the work of the geographer in the society of tomorrow. Dr. Browne joined the geography staff of the College in the fall of 1937. He came to Greenville from the staff of the State Teachers Col- lege at Xaeop'doehes. Texas. Miss Lucille Turner of the Eng- lish Department, spoke at the regular meeting of the Round Table Book Club last Tuesday afternoon. Miss- Turner's subject was "The Bible�a Primary Source of Lin- guistic and Literary Greatness Dedication Program Growth Of Construction Of Building Is Brought Out In Progress Story By MARY HORNE Approximately $325,000 was ap- propriated in the fall of 1938 by the Xorth Carolina state legislature and the Federal Works Project Ad- ministration for a new classroom building at East Carolina Teachers College. Of this amount $300,000 was to be spent for the construction and the remainder was to be spent for equipment. The lot between the Science build- ing and the Infirmary was selected for the site of the new three-story building which has a 221-foot front and two wings- of 188 feet each. Plans for the building were drawn up by Eric G. Flanagan, architect from Henderson, N. C. The building Committee was made up of E. G. Flanagan, Greenville; O. P. Make- peace, Sanford; and Henry Bridges, Tarboro. Early in November Dr. Meadows announced that the project would house the home economics, science, commerce, geography, and possibly other departments which have not yet been decided upon. In December of the same year the Gregory Construction Company of Raleigh received the contract for general construction. This company submitted the low bid of $253,253, which figure includes the electrical work. The Wiggins Plumbing Com- pany of Wilson was awarded the plumbing contract for $22,351, and the heating work went to C. L. Russ Company of Greenville. Ground was broken on the first of January after two weeks of clearing trees and brush from the site. Throughout January and February 1939 excavation work and the con- struction of the wall foundations progressed rapidly in spite of un- favorable weather conditions.

Wright For 25 Years Former President Was One of Foremost K�hioators in State For twcntv-tiw year- after its be- : ginning, East Carolina Teachers College went forward under the! leadership of one man. Dr. Robert! Herritfii Wrighf. One of the foremost educators and citizens of the state, lr. Wright, in the twenty-five years of his presidency, saw the school; grow from an institution of barely; 17: students to a college of over one thousand. Robert Herring Wright was born' in Sampson County, May 21, 187Q, the son of John C. and Bettie aden Wright. His entire boyhood was spent in the community in which he was horn and his early education, was received in a private school op- erated by his mother. Hi further training was received in the public schools of Sampson County and in Oak Ridge Military Institute. At the age of Is he applied for a teach- ers certificate. His first teaching job was in the Hungry Neck section oi Bladen (unity where he taught for two years. In L802, he accepted a school in the northern section of Marlhorough County in South Caro- lina. After teaching in South Caro- lina for two years, he entered the University of North Carolina as a sophomore in the fall t 1894. He graduated in 1897 with his B.A. de- gree. During the years 1807 and 1898, Jhe was principal of Stranhope Schools in' Nash County and from 11S to 101 he was instructor in English and Mathematics at Oak Ridge. Entering Johns Hopkins Uni- versity, Baltimore, as a graduate student, he did work in philology and economics during 1901 and 1902. From 1902 to 1 !) he was instruc- tor of history and economics at the City College, Baltimore. In DeeemVr, 1903, Dr. Wright married Mis Pearl Murphy of Sampson County. Four children blessed their union. In the summer of 1906, he at- tended Teachers College. Columbia University and in the subsequent fall he became principal of Eastern High School, Baltimore, where he remained through 1909. In 1909 he came to Greenville to assume the presidency of the newly established East Carolina Teaehers Training School. Dr. Wright's reputation in edu- cational circles was national in scope. He served as president of the National Association of Teachers Colleges in 1926 and 7 and on important committees in the Na- ROBERT H. WRIGHT t,ional Education Association. Tn the state, he served as both presi- dent and vice president of The North Carolina Education Asso- ciation and was for many years on the executive committee of that or- ganization. He was a member of a special committee for codifying the educational laws of North Caro- lina ami did important work in standardizing certifications of teach- ing. Dr. Wright's interests were not confined to the campus and his pro- fession. He was keenly interested in civic life and gave freely of his time, talent ami finances to further any and all movements that he felt were for the good of the community. "No man ever lived who was more willing, eager and ready to serve the youth of his country, his home, his friends and associates, and the com- munity in which he lived, in any way, in any capacity, at any time, than Robert H.

Meadows and Registrar IT. J. McGinnis returned on February 28 from the annual meetings of the American Associa- tion of Teachers Colleges and the National Educational Association of School Administrators which met in Saint Louis, Missouri, from Febru- arv 22-28. At a special committee meeting of the A.A.T.C. it was found that K.C.T.C. had the best set- up of hospitalization for students in the teachers colleges in America. Dr. Meadows, previous to the first meeting, gave a report of our set-up at a committee meeting on Health and Physical Development of In- stitutions; and at this time it was found that E.C.T.C. had the best set-up. It has an infirmary with fifty beds, two registered nurses and two physicians on call. Besides this, each freshman is given a complete physical examination. The theme of the American As- sociation of Teachers College was how to promote education through the second century of teacher educa- tion. There was only about three hundred representatives from all the teachers colleges in America. At the National Educational As- sociation of School Administrators the main subject was "What is right with schools of America ?" Two years ago it was "What is wrong with schools of America?" This group, represented by all the schools in America, is said to be the largest organization inthe world. March 8, ln Whichard, Noe, Barrow, Debate At I.R.C Meeting Foreign Policy Of LT. S.

OPEN FOR UM i Vole for Capable Persons Within the next few days the students of this college will go to the polls to choose officers for the ensuing year. The presidents of the Men's and Women's Student Government Associations, and other major officers of these bodies, the presidents of the Y.W.C.A. and the Y.M.C.A. and the cabinet members of each, and the editors and business managers of the three student publications will be elected at this time. The happenings of next year and the way in which the functions of each organization is carried out will depend upon those persons on whom the student body entrusts the duties of the major offices. When each student votes he should take into consideration the qualities of the person for whom be votes and whether or not that person is capable of the job and will perform the duties of tlpit office in the best possible way, for without leadership there can be no progress. This is the time to forget that you owe your vote to a person just because he or she happens to be your friend. If be or she is not canable to perform the duties then be or she should not bold that office. It is only through intelligent voting tnat the functions of the Student Body of East Carolina Teachers College can be indicative of the will of the ma ioritv of her citizens. So vote for the better man. (Editor's Note: This Department is open to all students in school here. Tin; Tecq Echo reserves the iaht to censor or reject all com- m unieations.

He Reply to Green Lights Our attention has been called to an editorial in a recent issue of Green 1ithts, student newspaper of Greenville High School, which bore the following title�"I'npreparcdness of Practice Teach- er- Drawback to High School Students We quote this editorial: "For years editorials, containing numerous suggestions for im- provements, have been written on the subject, 'Why Don't Wre Have Better Practice Teachers?' However there seems to have been little effort made by those in authority to improve or remedy the deplorable situation. "If hi some way when the practice teachers are chosen, the col- lege officials could be more certain that their knowledge, genuine ability, and personal fitness to teach the subject is sufficient to meet the requirements of G.H.S. students, perhaps the situation would be greatly improved The inference of the above editorial is that our student practice teacher: are not well versed in subject matter and that they should be b ��� chosen before they are allowed to teach in the Greenville HiV' School. Perhaps some of our practice teachers do not have some of these but such is the case with some teachers with years of �i with some preachers, doctors, and lawyers, and such r'th some students. dmit that we aren't perfect and we probably never will be, I contend that after an individual has spent three years e specializing in one field that he will most probably have 1 n minimum of knowledge in that subject so as to be able : adequately. And if there are some things that he does ' be certainly has access to a much better stocked library II "�- than the G.H.S. library in which he can find material tdlv any topic under discussion. M " editorial makes a false implication when it refers to the . �t oHoo-p officials in picking those whom they let practice teach in G.H.S. The college does have certain requirements that stin1 ' ��� made to meet before thev may practice teach. Each ? f�f nractice teaching must have a scholastic average of !1 bis college work before he will be admitted to the 'nlryrr oTmm. Tn order to do this a person must have acquired a certain amount of knowledge in this subject or else Your Cooperation is Appreciated To the Editor: Our C,Y" has found that it pays to give our student a second chance. When it became necessary to close our reading room no one was more regretful of the fact than those who worked so hard to make such a thing possible. All the purposes for which it stood had become impossibilities because some few persons chose to make it a room that was fit for anything but quiet reading and meditation. Xot all the troubles and complaints have ceased but there has been a decided improvement, and now there is no reason we can't keep our room if every one will make herself or himself a commit- tee of one to see that it is kept as a " Y" Reading Room should be kept �a place where we would like to invite our friends when they come to our campus�a place that would do credit to our "Y Your cooperation has been appre- ciated, and if each student will be- come conscious of its purpose and help according the set-up should be- come ideal. The "Y" urges you to use the room. That's what it's for. Again we thank you for your sup- port and urge for continued co- operation. Lucy Ann Barrow.

Most of the time, however, it is the other way around. Yes, the girls as a whole really run after those of the opposite sex and some of our worthless loafing males are inclined to be a little conceited, but they don't deserve the let down they sometimes receive. At the large quarter dances only a few of the college boys are able to secure dates, and the largest ma- jority of the girls bring anything that has the slightest appearance of being a male. The dance floor is so full of outside boys that they almost equal the number of girls. The sit- uation may be described as a stickey dance and the poor eo-eds are posi- tively ignored and in other words have a rotten time. It is nothing but a shame and a raw deal for the boys on the campus to be so abused by their schoolmates on an occasion like this.

The efforts on the part of Green Lights to acclaim the student teachers are deficient in educational training and that the admin- istration is not doing its part in selecting those who teach do not have full grounds for accusation. We are prone to believe that these remarks reflect the sentiments of an "irritated" few rather than the feelings of the student body of G.H.S. as a whole. A Boost from a Local Editor East Carolina Teachers College is one of Greenville's greatest assets and since its establishment it has probably been the cause of bringing as many new residents to Greenville as any other industry or organization. The college is a state institution and it seems that for a long time we have just taken for granted that it didn't belong to us. It is gratifying that there is at this time a growing spirit of cooperation between our citizens and the college which should result in greater things for both the college and our city. Despite the fact that the plant at the college has been added to from time to time and another new building will be dedicated early next month, there is still a need for more dormitory space for both men and women. It will not be long before the budget commission will begin to plan for the appropriations to be asked from the next General Assembly for the state institutions and if Greenville and Pitt County citizens will put their shoulders to the wheel, we believe that some of these needed additions to the college can be secured.�Daily Reflector. able to render his best service toward such a responsil president for a time longer than 8 years Have You Heard These?

Attention wras then centered upon the interior and such work as laying tile floors, plastering the walls, put- ting in woodwork, etc. began and finally after much trouble with the installation of the equipment the building was completed and accepted on February 29, 1940, by the Build- ing Committee.

This work was started last spring quarter by Joe Biggs, Science ma- jor from Washington, North Caro- ina, who is now director of the Science Museum group. Joe started out by making a few skins of local birds and now with the aid of sev- eral other science students the de- partment has a sizable collection of mounted bird specimens, skele- tons, and casts. In the taxidermy department there are approximately 50 com- pleted mounts and skins of which some of the most outstanding are a long-eared owl, mount- ed by John Morrison; a red- tailed hawk, contributed by Dr. Slay and mounted by Joe Biggs; a Canada goose contributed and mounted by John Morrison; and a number of other excellent speci- mens. As his assistants Joe has had valuable help from John Morrison, Beaufort, and Jessie Keith, Atkin- son. The Osteological work has been done largely by Mary Home of Greenville. The completed speci- mens consists of skeletons of an owl, bull frog, snapping turtle, cat, and j a few skulls. At present, work is being done on a dog skeleton, hut; this is only in the very earliest! stages. Jessie Keith heads the casting de- j partment, and assisted by Helen j Ward, Plymouth; Virginia Whitlev Nashville; and John Morrison has! turned out some exceptional work.

The main floor of the building is given over to the Home Economies Department, the third floor to the Science Department, and the first is shared by the commerce and ge raphy departments.

Spelling Bees Now In Fashion During the present quarter there are 306 day students attending E.C.T.C. About one-third of these, constituting approximately 10 per cent of the entire student body, are graduates of Greenville High School. 1 This is more than the average num- ber of G.H.S. graduates which is 95 per quarter.

Moore is an alum- na of E.C.T.C who is indispensable to the college. Miss Moore was grad- uated from the two-year normal course of the, college, and after graduation she started working as Dormitory Matron with Mrs. Beck- with, lady principal. She has re- mained with the college over the period of years and is now House- keeper. Miss Moore taught for sev- eral years in the county schools. Miss Moore is greatly to be ad- mired because of the fineness of her person. A more sincere, honest or reliable individual is difficult to find. She goes about doing her work in a quiet, unassuming manner� never bringing herself to the front. As one friend says, "When you come down to the fundamentals, she is all there Over a period of several genera- tions, Miss Moore's people have lived in Pitt County. She has made her home in the county all her life. The college is also her home, and is a home for the students and the faculty because Miss Moore gives it the beauty of cleanliness and order.

C. Haynes, will ojfen the 1940 schedule on March 15 when they engage the strong Presbyterian College Netters of South Carolina. While in the neighboring State they will tangle with the University of South Carolina on March 18 and The Citadel on March 19. The first home game will be played March 25 with Boston University, the most distant team the netters will con- front this season. Several boys are turning out daily for preliminary practices. However, with such an array of material in the fore, the matter of selecting the material for the var sity will promote keen competition. Boys who saw action last season and who are slated to garner a berth on the varsity this year include Douglas Glover, Herbert Wilkerson and Charley Harris. Charley un- derwent an appendectomy some time ago, but is expected to enroll for study and tennis in the Spring. Newcomers to the tennis fold are dimmie Dempsey, who played with the University of North Carolina during his freshman year there; Dave (Dopey) Watson, a transfer from Louisburg, and George Lau- tares, a transfer from Duke Uni- versity. The glance at the early prospects does not mean they will do all the shining on the squad. There are other hopefuls in the tryouts and time will tell whether they make the varsity or whether they do not. Games scheduled thus far other than those already mentioned are: Louisburg College, there, April 5; Game Be Played On Pirate Turf On March 23 ' Coach Farley Launches First Practice Paces By GEORGE LAUTARES East Carolina Teachers College will open its baseball season here with Elon College March 23 and has two games scheduled with Gnilford and one with High Point College the following week. The first baseball practice, held Monday under the supervision of Coach Bo Farley, who was the Pi- rates' baseball skipper in 1937 and 1938 and former manager of the Greenville entry in the (Joastal Plain League, indicated that this year's nine would be an unusually good i team. Here's some of the boys who turned out for the opening day of baseball training on the Pirate field Monday; Elon has been a standout in all - afternoon. The boys in the foreground are standing in the outfield waiting for someone to send a fly ball in their j phases of college athletics and is f territory The boys in the background are playing around and keeping the others waiting. Naturally there's, expected to be a rather tough foe -nothing exciting in this picture. There'll be plenty of excitement when the squad opens its season, however, for the Pirates. Guilford opens its ' � two-day series here March 2a and concludes it on the following day. The High Point game is to be played March 28. Other early Spring quar- ter games include Campbell, here, April 2; Oak Ridge, here, April 4 or April 13. Coach Farley's boys are still get- ting the feel of the ball and have not as yet attempted any heavy work. However, if the weather holds good it will not be long before the players are in shape for scrimmage games. New arrivals who are expected to hvsical. Dr. K. J.

Captained by Walter Rodgers, the local All-Stars fought hard dur- ing the entire game and the score was close all the way. The locals trailed the Winterville entry until the third quarter when Wiley Brown of the Teachers sud- denly found the range from mid- court and sank two beautiful field goals. Brown paced the E.C.T.C. All- Stars with 9 points. Rodgers turned in the best floor performance for the locals. Hobgood and Gaylord were standouts for Winterville. Ayden was pitted against the E.C.T.C. All-Stars in a game played in Ayden Wednesday night. Austins Defeat Wrights In Fast Last-Half Fete Winners Trail 10-8 At Half, But Go Ahead By NANCY ALBRIGHT The Austin girls defeated the Wright team 21-16 in the intramural basketball championship game for girls played recently following an- other game between the East Caro- lina Teachers College Pirates and the Bulldogs of Atlantic Christian College. Both teams fought rather furious in the opening half and the Wright team led 10-8 at intermission. The Austins began scoring rather rap- idly in the second period and ap- peared to have little trouble in trim- ming the margin of their foe. Featuring in the point-making for the losers was Mary Mullen, who sank five field goals. Eunice Herring scored 8 points for the Austin entry. During the half a tap dance was presented by Eileen Tomlinson, Hilda Martin, Irene Mitchell and Dorothy Wycoff, after which a cup was awarded the intramural cham- pions. The Wright team was composed of the following: Frances Roebuck, Elizabeth Burns, Mary Mullen and Frances Nance, forwards; and Ethel Gaston, Eva McMillan and Frances Allen, guards. Composing the Austin team were: Esther Parker, Kim Tomlinson, Maybelle Pollock, Myr- tle Hopkins and Eunice Herring, forwards; and Estelle Edwards, Doris Roberts, Maude Sawyer and Ruth Hall, guards. Teams in the intramural program finished in this order: Town team, captained by Marv Mullen, 1.000; Fleming "X .800; Jarvis "X .800; Wilson "Y .750; Gotten "X .250; Jarvis "Y .250; Wil- son "X .200; Fleming "Y .200; and Cotten "Y .000.
