Seven Teachers
New Addition
To ECTG Faculty
ARE YOU IN THIS PICTURE??If you're a Freshman or
campus leader, then you'll find your face some place. The group
were photographed at the general assembly held in the Campus
building on the first night of the orientation program. Doris
Blalock, president of the Women's Student Government Associa-
tion, and Walter Rodgers, president of the Men's Student Govern-
ment Association, had charge of the program.
Seven new members come to
the faculty of E. C. T. C. for the
fall quarter of 1940. Two of
these, Miss Mabel Lacey and
Mrs. Ethel Walters, are holding
new positions on the campus.
They are supervisors of Walter
Reed high school Home Eco-
nomics departments in this dis-
trict. Federal finance is pay-
ing the entire salary of one of
these and one half the salary
of the other.
Other new members are Miss
Audrey Demsey, Mr. John B.
Christenbury, Miss Vida M.
Weeks, Mr. W. S. DeLoatch, and
Miss Christine Wilton.
Miss Demsey comes to the
Commerce Department to suc-
ceed Miss Mariam Mahl. She
comes from Colorado.
Coming from Brevard, Coach

Watching The World
School Spirit Or Regulations!
On the eve of the first night football game in the history ot
East Carolina Teachers College we are advised that students who
have it vet received their general permit will not be allowed to
"fund the game Saturday night. Many of them did not learri of the
game in time to get a permit and naturally were at a loss to.make
uch arrangements. Students who have permits will ride the
buses unteS certain privileges permit them to travel vm other
means in the company of chaperones. It is going to hurt our
school spirit if the students without the general permit are not
allowed to attend. Now it's a question of "school spirit or regula-
tions

?itive to the outcome of the turmoil that
Like
has gripped Europe and threatens the Lmted States. Like a
black storm cloud that covers the twinkling stars on a peaceful
night and unleashes elements that bring death and devastation
on the land below, Adolph Hitler, Benito Mussolini and other
self-styled despots are sweeping down upon all phases of demo-
cratic ideals and principals. A stream of crimson gushing from
a wounded soldier and word that another weak nation has been
subjugated bv their military might calls for a glass of wine.
They're on the loose and defy anyone to stop them, lhe axis
chieftans have signed an alliance with the Premier of Japan,
an apparent stimulus to the minds of their people who receive
news of the spoils through a government-controlled press. 10
conquer the world and make lovers of democracy eat from their
hands with the same enthusiasm as the starved dog that munches
crumbs offered bv the bony hand of a pauper appears to be their
desire. Congress has realized the threat and has paved the way
for resisting the plague by appropriating billions for military
might, sanctioning legislation for mustering millions of men in
a peacetime call to colors, and aiding England until we can be-
come strong enough to stand on our own feet, or cross the Atlantic
and help the British. We the students have been reared in a
nation that is earmarked bv freedom of speech, worship.and press;
we the students will have to give financial aid and possibly our
lives to sustain these freedoms. And if we're unable to overcome
those elements that threaten to take our liberties, should we face
that issue, the grave in the village churchyard will be shattered
by bombs and we shall perish in pools of blood just as our fore-
fathers who sacrificed their lives for our happiness and welfare.

??????,?,??????????"? William Harris ??????????
Judging from the indications and intimations of reports
reaching this country it appears that Hitler's long heralded pre-
paration for a Blitzkrieg invasion of England has bogged down.
Events alone can prove whether this is true or not.
With the protection of current bad weather the English say
that if the usual "second summer" period comes this fall it will
offer to the Fuhrer this year's last opportunity for invasion with
favorable weather. He still may order the attempt but his mas-
ter strategists seem to be digging in for a long drawn-out struggle.
If the invasion has been stalled, no small part of the credit
goes to the valiant Royal Air Force, which while countering the
much touted Luftwaffe over England, has been able to grow
miraculouslv to a strength permitting it to take the initiative ot
offense for'the first time during the war. The Reich s invasion
bases on the coast of France have been repeatedly pounded. Recent
reports hint that these jumping-off points have been rendered
utterly useless. Germany itself has been penetrated as deep as the
former Polish border. Berliners are chased nightly into their bomb
shelters Vital war industries in western Germany have been
wrecked and bombs are not all these versatile English planes
carry. Besides the explosives, propaganda leaflets, incendiary
cardboard to burn forests, and beetles to eat the much-needed po-
tato crops have been dumped.
The tri-partite Axis-Japanese "new order" pact looms as a
Nazi confession of Hitler's first substantial set-back. As an
effort to offset the stalemate of the Battle of Britain it was hailed
in Germany as a further triumph, food for victory-hungry people.
If the treaty has any real significance it is probably a German at-
tempt to provoke the United States into a war against Japan,
thereby diverting the flow of American war materials toward
Britain. If that is its aim it probably will miss its mark by far.
The American point of view seems to be that the United States
has nothing to gain from a scrap with Japan, at present at least,
that could not be gained by a complete defeat of the Axis.
The United States might, however, send a fleet to points in
the Far East where American interests are likely to be disturbed.
A few "incidents" with Japan would no doubt prove to be a gain.

STUDENT'S CORNER
Welcome To Your Second Home, Freshmen!
To all Freshmen and transfers, the staff of the Teco Echo,
in behalf of the student body and faculty, extend a most cordial
welcome. Irrespective of the number of years you expect to spend
on the campus, we want you to feel that you are among friends
and never hesitate to request their assistance, should such aid
be desired. When a student enters college he is confronted with
more responsibilities than he found in the grades and his ability
to face these obligations with his chin up instead of shirking them
will determine, to a considerable extent, whether or not he de-
velops a well-rounded personality and makes of himself or herself
the splendid man or woman for the business or professional world
of tomorrow. We trust that you will become a part of the friend-
liness that prevails on our campus; and that it will have a definite
place in your life after you are graduated.
It Was A Job Well Done
Doris Blalock. president of the Women's Student Govern-
ment Association, and Walter Rodgers, president of the Men's
Student Government Association, who collaborated their efforts
in the twelfth annual orientation program, are to be congratulated
for the splendid manner in which they performed their duties;
and much of the credit for making the largest orientation pro-
gram ever to be undertaken here the most successful goes to them.
And a word of congratulation goes also to the various campus
leaders and organizations for their part in the orientation. You
not only impressed the new students, but gained respect and
appreciation from colleagues.
In getting back down to our regular routine of work we find
it was not a very great task to select an outstanding student to
feature in this issue of the paper. Walter Rodgers, captain of our
football team, is the honor student.
Walter came to the E. C. T. C. campus from Woodsdale,
North Carolina in Person County. Since coming here he has
been very active in many clubs, as well as in athletics. As we
glance over some of Walter's extra-curricular activities we find
that football is most outstanding. Having played for three years
he has well earned the position as captain of our 1940 team. He
has also claimed membrship with the Men's Student Government
Association for two years. The Varsity Club has had an asset in
Walter, as he has been an active member for three years, and trea-
surer one of these .
Not only has he been active in these clubs for the past few
years, but the Phi Sigma Pi Honorary Fraternity has also used
him to advantage for three years.
Feeling that Walter is one of our most oustanding students
we do not hesitate to honor his praiseworthy work. If you saw
the game last Saturday with Kutztown, Pa. Teachers we are sure
you will agree that he is the captain we have been waiting for.
"Sans doute as the French
would say these 'back to college"
styles are important. Gadgets
and accessories are as usual the
college girl's stand-by. Most of
the newer gadgets are in wood,
leather, and plaid wool and all
of them are practically feather-
weight. Popular ones include
necklaces with bracelets to
match; lapel ornaments includ-
ing animals and eagles in blue
and green leather; carved wood
leaves and acorns; a miniature
note book, pencil and fountain
pen on a leather band; wood
slates with candy striped bor-
ders showing first sums in
arithmetic: a red leather dog
collar with gold charms; and a
college cheer leader figure made
of gay colored leather. The
more sophisticated ornaments
are a gold and silver cable neck-
lace and bracelet, and a 3-inch
gold question mark with a
locket dangling at the bottom.
You'll want several of these, to
say the least, to add spice to
your jackets and sweaters.
If you haven't already gotten
one you will want a bright plaid
skirt made fairly full, and a
couple of mannish shirts and
jackets to wear with it.
The feminine side of fashion
is played up with jumper and
pinafore dresses, which can be
worn morning, noon, and night.
For example wear a vivid blouse
in a constrasting color with your
new pinafore of velveteen, wool,
plaid, or pinwale corduroy.
You'll find it a charming addi-
tion to your wardrobe.
Silk hose always were a hole
puncher in a college girl's
allowance so you'll really be de-
lighted when you next shop and
come across knee high, divided,
or "cuff" socks. They're here

The College Appreciates Greenville
Since East Carolina Teachers College was established some
30 years ago it has expressed outwardly and inwardly its appre-
ciation for the thriving community of which it is a part. And
as we enter another school year the Teco Echo comes to the fore
with a definite indication that it wants to help the people of
Greenville. For a number of years the paper has been printed
outside Greenville; the thousands of dollars that have been appro-
priated for printing costs have gone elsewhere. This practice
was not the result of previous staffs inappreciativeness of the
community, but was done because local facilities would not cope
with the printing standards they desired. Meantime, one local
printing firm, Renfrew Printing Company, continued to grow and
the quality of the work it turned out improved. The standards of
this firm met with the approval of the new editor and business
manager, who contracted to have the paper printed locally. The

no doubt Billie Manly little dreamed that it would be obtained

permit to register. As we all know, there is only one boy's dormi-
tory; ?. e Ragsdale; and room numbers are not assigned. After
pondering over the situation, Miss Manly had an idea, and dashed
around to find the envelope in which the letter was sent. Yep!
she was right, it was addressed to Mr. Billie Manly! Horrors!
above horrors! that meant she was assigned a room with a boy!
Her first reaction was to laugh, and she did, heartily; then she
realized that something had to be done immediately?it might
prove very embarassing when she arrived on the campus. So
she phoned Dr. McGinnis.
"Dr. McGinnis, this is Billie Manly; and I'm a girl
Dr. McGinnis laughed?probably thought?'Well, so what?
what am I supposed to do about it?' or something to that effect,
until she explained to him her situation. He told her not to
worry; he would attend to the matter immediately.
After laughing over it with her friends in Goldsboro, she de-
cided to forget it and settle down again; but, no it was too good
to keep and somehow the news leaked out. Always ready for a
laugh, the newspapers all over North Carolina published the story;
and Billie told me one boy looked her up to tell her he had heard
the news way up in New York. A friend of her father's asked
him if he were going up to play poker with his "son" and "his

Don't Let It Happen Again
During the opening week of school the editor went to see,

it was raining. Reaching the campus after 10 o'clock, he noticed
the school flag was still flying in the cold wind and rain. He
lowered the flag and put it away for the night, raising it again the
"ollowing morning. Workmen said they were busy with trunks
i nd forgot to lower the flag. That is a reasonable excuse, but in
these troublous times not even work should cause us to forget
sacred patriotic obligations. To those in charge of the flag we

I enjoyed talking with Billie; she was a good sport about
what might have been an embarassing position. She is a very
attractive, blonde girl and is now safely rooming with Betty
Langdon in Jarvis Hall. She will be only one year, after this
time she will attend the University of Maryland where she will
study to be a laboratory technician. Billie enjoys dancing, and
I could not help but think she should feel natural doing the break-
ing at our dances. At any rate, I do hope she will feel at home
here; and enjoy our college life.
But hang on, Readers, there is more yet to come. Not to be
outdone, Billie's family made the headlines a few days ago. The
reason: All of their birthdays occur on holidays. Her brother's
is on New Year's Day; her mother's on Valentine; her father's on
May Day; and Billie's on Halloween. What a family! I'll stop
on that one.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR:
As a new student at E. C. T. C, I am in a position
ciate the Orientation Program presented to make our as
here pleasant and profitable; and I am delighted to pre
the plans which were made for this occasion. The pro
as its purpose to introduce new students to college lif
students a chance to meet fellow students; to help newcomers
learn the routines, requirements and duties as a new student; ana
to acquaint us with the many privileges which have been granted
to us. .
The program began Tuesday, September 24 and was as fol-
lows: first, we were invited to the auditorium for assemblies
with introductions which proved most helpful; secondly, we hfl
conferences at which we learned the fields available in the choice
of our curricula; and on Tuesday evening open house was held at
the "Y" Hut, a building which plays an oustanding part in our
social life. Next, the prepraation of course schedules was neces-
sary and then we were registered and our fees paid. An explana-
tion of college rules and regulations are important to the general
well-being of any college, and on Wednesday evening tnere S
an introduction to prominent organizations of the college and B
use of the post office. On Thursday afternoon, a physical exami-
nation was held; dinner came later with a free movie afterwards
Friday, September 27th began our classwork for the year. I Prj
sume by now we have at least a general idea of our college life ana
the functions necessary to its existence. j
This program will not have been in vain if we are persuade
that this is our school; that our part in the student body is a ne-
cessity and of importance.
When we need advice, we can feel free to ask any 8&jj
we desire which might have a possibility of making us feel tn?
we have friends who are more than willing to help us. As I bve
so been welcomed, I bid you the same?and the best of luck!
