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.

"A Xew Prospectus for Geogra-

-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

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

Dr. Browne joined the geography

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. Dur-
ing the Spring of 1939 due to heavy
rains work was slowed down con-

THE TECO ECHO
East Carolina Teachers College Headed
By Dr. Robert H. 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. Wright

Hospitalization
Of Local College
Is Best Among
Teaehers Colleges
President Leon R. 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.

Significant! of Homecoming
Homecoming in our college has a certain special significance! j
that is important in the
alumni o( Bast Carolina
lives of each and every alumnae and
Teachers College. It marks a step in
the progress of the school and each year adds just that much more
to the complete record of the school. It is a time set aside for the
mingling o( the old and the new and for the renewal of acquaint-
tnces among former classmates and facultv and for the making of
new friends on the campus with those who are now members of one
a! the tour classes of the college and who too will soon take their
places as graduates and alumni of the college. So it is the time for
ill to got together and rehash experiences.
This year homecoming has special significance ? more so
than ever before for tin's time there will he in addition to the usual
observance, the dedication oi' the new classroom building, the
celebration of founders day thirty-three years ago today, and the
observance of the anniversary of one hundred years of teacher

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.

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

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.

equal the number of girls. The sit-

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.

Among the many projects under-
way on this campus, one of the
newest and most interesting is the
work being done by the Science
Department of the College Museum.
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.

who has had a most successful ca-
reer in the business world since
graduating from the college from a

Arley V. Moore
Is Indispensable
To ECTCCampus
Miss Arley V. 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.

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:

' 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.

last Friday night.
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

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
