Due to the small turnout for the meei- ,ing, it was decided by those pres- j ent to postpone the business ses sion until the next meeting the I second Wednesday night after the Thanksgiving holidays. There will be several issues of import- ! ance at this meeting and every I resident is urged to attend. One : of the major issues is the top sur- i facing of the roads vvitli gravel |or cinders.

The quartet, composed of Atti- lio Baggiore, Gene Tobin, Vernon Willicunson Head Of Science Club Freddie Williamson, already active in the Student Legislature and in campus publications, is the new president of the Science Club. Other offieers chosen at the same time were Jake Blanchard, vice-president; Yono Mark, secre tary; and Paul Shepherd, treasur er. Prof. P. S.

Early programs this year fea tured Bob Byrd, field secretary for the United World Federalists^ who described the work of that group; and Mrs. Frondt, of the World Council of Churches, who discussed the problem of Ger many, as she studied it during an extended stay in that country. UniversUj StoT€ Aihtns, Ga, P°M Panvio Society Holds Meeting The Panvio Literary Society held its regular meeting on Wed nesday, November 9th, in the Mu sic Theory Room, with Cliarlotte Rothgeb presiding, who an nounced that Mrs. Oma U. John son had accepted the post of ad visor for the group. Day after day at the Univer sity Store in Athens, Georgia, as in college shops through out the country, you oan always find University of Georgia students and ice-cold Coca-Cola. For with students everywhepe, frosty ice-cold Coca-Cola is the favorite drink—Coke belongs. Ask for it either way ... both trade-marks mean the same thing. COLLEGE NURSE (Continued From Page Two) for actual records show that dur ing the months of September and October she administered treat ment for 371 students for ailments that ran the scale from just plain sniffles to “flu” itself. The statistics gleaned from the nurse’s report up to October 31sti are an interesting commentary on the health of the student body, for the 371 students treated rep resent 46 percent of the Elon en rollment. Slightly over half the students treated were boys, the records showing 195 boys and 176 girls, but then there are more boys enrolled than there are girls. Almost half the student ail ments reported have been plain colds, with 40 such cases in Sep tember and 123 in October, mak ing 44 percent of all treatments. Fifty-two of the colds patients were in bed. Twenty-eight cases of sore throat have been listed, all except three in October. Up to the last of October there had been 109 absences due to sick ness. their four voice singing. Messrs Sanders and Tobin sang Solenne in quest’ Ora, from “La Forza del Distino” by Verdi, and Baggi ore and MacKay sang the first act Duet between Faust and Mephis- topheles from “Faust” by Gounod. Both duets were effectively sung, with Baggiore and MacKay sing ing with a bit more dramatic in sight. Probably the outstanding per sonality of the quartette was At- tilio Baggiore, who has a wonder ful presence and a flair for the dramatic. We would like to see Mr. Baggiore in a comic operatic role. His diction v/as a feature of his solo work. Mr. Walter Hatchek, the ac companist, provided a brilliant pi ano interlude, playing two Chopin selections and the “Ritual Fire Dance.” The audience demanded an encore, and Mr. Hatchek oblig ed with a delightful playing of “Music Box.” Jay^yees Lose To Fork Union The Baby Christians went down before a powerful Fork Union Military Academy eleven 32 to 0 on an invasion of Virginia on Sat urday, November 15th. The Fork Union outfit capitalized on Jay- Vee fumbles and blocked lucks to score early and then turned the game into a rout in the final stan zas. Coach Joe Tomanchek’s squad, performing with a skeleton crew, could never muster a scoring punch. The outstanding perform ers for the Jay-Vees were Ken Rutherford at tackle, Joe Jerni- gan at guard. Bob Lewis and Bill Blackstone at end, and Branch Bragg in backfield. The Baby Christians concluded their season last Saturday after noon when they tangled with Greenbriar Military Academy at Lewisburg, West Va., but this score was unrecorded at press time. tiadio Club Asks Station License The Radio Club has applied to the Federal Communications Commission for a license to in stall an amateur station on the arated we fall. ’ Or, maybe I should say, if you don’t succeed, try, try until you do.

In li- 1935 Grace George received much acclaim for her performance of the Mary Herries role during the long Broadway run. Although the villainy in the play is performed with drawing room manners, it has an under current of suspense. Mary Her ries is permitted to see people, but her story is so fantastic that she can find no one who will be lieve her. She is reduced to a pa thetic old woman by the pressure brought to bear by Henry Abbott and company.

Singing with good control, the quartet was capable of the power of a full choir or the soft touch of a zephyr, whichever was needed. It was an enjoyable evening of fine music for Elon College.

Claytor did all of the pass ing and kicking for his team and was a vfery clever runner. Rounding out the selection is Carl Jones, a freshman star for Vet’s Court. His team was never in the running for the title, but Jones turned in some sensational play. He is a former Georgia All-State basketball player, hav ing won the honor while playing for Valdosta. Honorable mention was accord ed to Gaither, of South; Ward, of Day Students; Atkinson, of Carl ton House; Jim Murray, of I.T.K.; Littlejohn, of East; Bailess, of Vet’s Apartments; and Bill Win stead, of East.
