them home and its good to see
men of their caliber on the courts
again. They were both outstand

From all indications the McCrary

They were victorious over the Elon

predicting they don’t do it again this
year. The two teams meet just before
Christmas holidays.

Carolina' 6; Notre Dame 13, Navy

extra point); Army 66, Villanova

As the girl’s volleyball season draws
to a close the Rebels of third floor
West lead the league with an unde
feated record. In the remaining three
games the Olds played the Wildcats
October 31, the Rebels take on the
Wildcats November 4, and in the last
game the Hubbas play the Olds No
vember 6. Here are the results of the
last three games. October 22, the
Beasts defeated the Day Students;
October 24, the Rebels defeated the
Wildcats; October 29, ,the Beasts de
feated the Hubbas. As it stands now
the’ Rebels have won |>rae games, the
Wildcats two, and the Beasts, two,
the Hubbas have lost three, the Day
Students two, the Beasts, one, and tM
Wilcats one. There has been an av
erage attendance of 125 at all of these
games. It seems fine that there is
so much interest in the games, for it
certainly makes them more fun to
play with so much cheering going on
at the sidelines. It is hard to pick
out stars on a volleyball team, but
Margaret Rawls, Hilda Malone, Dot
Shackelford, and Faye Rickard are to
be complimented on their playing.
The Fall Singles Elimination
Tennis Tournament for women
has gotten underway, but as yet
the results of only two matches
have been turned in to Coach Ad
cox’ office. Hilda Malone, rep-
resnting 2nd floor West, defeat
ed Margaret Newton, of East; and
Elizabeth Apple, Day Student, de
feated Martha Yarborough of La
dies’ Hall. The rest of tl|e matches
in the first round were byes. In
the third round, the winner of
the second round match between
Mary Yarborough of Ladies’ Hall,
and Jo Watts of 3rd Floor West,
will play the winner of th! match
between Betsy Wilson of East and
Jane Warren of 2nd Floor West.
The winner of the match between
Kuth Everett, of 3rd Floor West,
and Theressa Coffin, of the Day
students, will play the winner of
the Hilda Malone-Elizabeth Ap
ple match.
The winners of these two third
round matches will play off the finals
and the tennis championship will be
decided. All first round matches were
to be completed by Saturday, Octo
ber 27. Finals should have been com
pleted by October 31. Players sched
uled to play each other should get to
gether immediately and plan the time
of the play off. All matches will be
the best two out of three sets.
Now that cooler weather is com
ing, all of us are looking forward
to the basketball season. We pre
dict some hard-fought games this
year.

month as readjustment allowances to
returned veterans brought the total
paid out in North Carolina under this
program to over a million dollars.
Veterans seeking employment but
temporarily without jobs, have receiv
ed $821,036.00; and self-employed vet
erans whose net earnings are less
than $100 a month—most of the farm
ers—have been paid a total of $272,-
190.00.
Applications for these allowances
are handled through local Employ
ment Service offices by the Unemploy
ment Compensation Commission of
North Carolina, but the funds to
cover the payments come from the
United States Veterans Administra
tion. The readjustment allowance
program, in effect since September
1944, is carried out under title V of
the “G. I. Bill of Rights.” The max
imum allowance for veterans while
they are looking for work is $20 per
week. Maximum duration is 52 weeks,
depending upon length of military
service. At present, weekly payments
approximate $41,713.00 with 1,935
veterans drawing the allowances.
Fewer veterans engaged in business
for themselves have applied this
month for the allowances to make up
the difference bettveen their net earn
ings and $100 during September.
Checks amounting to $17,474.00 were
paid to 178 self-employee veterans on
the basis of their reports for August.
In previous months, more than twice
as many veterans In self-employment
were receiving payments totalling
over $40,000.00.

BOMBARDIERS CAPTURE
VOLLEYBALL CROWN
By AL BURLINGAME
Two unbeaten teams, the “Bomb
ardiers” and the “Wolves,” tangled
in the final and most thrillling match
of the men's intramural volleyball
league last week, and the fiery “Bomb
ardiers” emerged with the champion
ship after a hard-earned, three-game
victory. By virtue of their defeat, the
“Wolves” had to be content with sec
ond place in the loop. Both teams i
had beaten the league’s other two |
representatives, the “Jokers” and the j
“Daybreakers,” while the “Jokers”
had trimmed the latter outfit ft) as
sure themselves of third place.
There was little left to be desired
by the spectators in the champion
ship battle. After losing the initial
game to the determined “Wolves,” 15
to 13—the only 15-pointer won from
them over the entire season—and aft
er the score in the second was knotted
at 10-10, the “Bombardiers,” led by
A1 Valderama, pulled a 15-13 de
cision out of the fire to even the con
test, and then proceeded to win the
title decisively in the last game, 15-5.

Chemistry is a wonderful field.
There are many plastics that come
from cliemistry. Some people go nuts
over chemistry. Many chemists are
nuts. People can even go nuts at
Elon because of chemistry. There is
one experiment in Quantitative An
alysis that is really a lulu. Bill Clapp
IS the lab instructor. The first thing
he does is give the poor student a
piece of iron ore. The iron ore is
just a couple of lumps of stuff that
weighs about three grams. It’s just
about as hard as anything can be.
First you pound that stuff for about
six hours with a hammer. Then you
get a mortar and pestle and grind
it for about six more hours. y>ien you
get a mortar and pestle that is even
finer. This time you grind it for only
a couple of hours. The object is to
get the iron ore about three times
finer than face powder. The way to
test it is very simple. You put the
stuff between your teeth. If it grits,
you grind it for another couple of
hours. When it is fine enough you
weigh it in two different samples.
The scales you use are very nice.
You can even weigh a human hair on
them. A brunette hair weighs .0000078
gm. more than a blond. That is why
blonds are fa*ster—less weight. After
you get the samples weighed the fun
really begins. Cooking with gas, no
less. The trouble is: the sample is
boiled in a salution of HCl. That’s
hydrocloric acid. After it boils for
about 25 hours, you may cook it in a
solution of sulphurifc acid. The last
operation takes only about eight or
nine hours. After all this is done,
dilute the mixture in boiling water.
(The water must be distilled.) When
it is thoroughly mixed, the solution
is placed in a Jones Reductor. The
Jones Reductor looks like a cross be
tween a Rube Goldberg invention
and the living room of a nutty sci
entist’s home. When the stuff comes
out of the reductor, titration begins.
The ferrous solution is white and the
permanganate is purple. When exactly
the right amount of permanganate is
added, the solution of iron turns pink.
When it turns pink the experiment
is over. That is, it’s over if you don’t
count the math that comes next. The
math is simple though. Only two or
three years of calculus; and with the
aid of a couple of logarithm tgiifles,
it can be figured out in three or four
hours. When the match is finally
straightened out, the experiment is
over—unless you made a mistake.. If
you made a mistake you can do yie
thing over again.
