The direct antithesis of this masterpiece of Vienese classicism is found in the freedom of the style of a work like the Chopin Sonata in B flat minor. Op 35. Here, again, the artist's playing showed the thankful result of study and practice, combined to present a performance in which the audience was made aware of the bravura, the “grand" style of the work, without ever losing consciousness of the sensitivity of the genius who created the work In their every shading and subtle nuance, both of these works were played with virtuosity, tempered with a keen sense of taste and musicianship. The recital also included ad mirable performances of Bach's Toccata in G minor and Proko- fieff's Sonata, No. 3i and particu larly impressive interpretations of two of Schuman's piano works, “The Bird as Prophet" and C major Toccata, Op 7. This last work, in cidentally, is not frequently per formed because few pianists have Prof. Sweats natural gift, hands large enough to meet the technical demand*; of the music. The pianist left his audience justifiably pleased with two encores, Hinde- muth's Interludium in G iLudos Tonalisi and Chopin s "Revolution ary Etude." Varsity Five j Cops Victory Over Quakers The Elon Christians posted an even 50 per cent shooting average last Saturday night as they rolled for a 96 to 53 victory over the Guilford Quakers in the final game of the regular season. The game, played on the floor of Elon's Alumni Memorial Gymnasium, left Elon in fourth spot in the North State Conference standings as the reason ended. The Quakers, playing their final came under the direction of Coach Dave Meredith, who submitted his resignation to the Quaker institu tion recently, made a close game of it for the first seven minutes. They hit the first bucket and had [the score knotted four times be fore Ray Whitley dropped a push fhot to shove Elon out front for keeps. The shooting percentages on floor shots reflected the Elon superiority. The Christians hit 37 field baskets on 74 attempts for exactly 50 per cent, while the best the Quakers could do was 20 field baskets on 62 tries for a 32.3 percentage mark. The rivals were almost even in their percentages from the charity line, with each averaging in the sixties. Ed Juratic racked 22 points to occupy the top spot for the Christ ians, Ray Whitley and Ben Ken dall had 15, Jimmy Crump 14 and Frank DeRita 13 points for the winners. Don Hemric with 14 and Oswald Schmidt with 12 were leaders of the Quaker attack.

Elon (96) F—DeRita (13) F—Juratic (22) C—Stone (9) G—Whitley (15) G—Kendall (15) LAYMEN MEET (Continued From Page One) The laymen heard a report on the Moonelon Recreation Center by Russell Powell, of Greensboro, who pointed out that a new pay ment is due on the center soon. More than 300 of the lay dele gates remained for a banquet meet ing in the Elon College dining hall at 6 o'clock, at which Dr. Odell Leonard, pastor of the Second Evangelical and Reformed al Lexington, addressed the group on the subject of "Hearts." Dr. J. Earl Danieley, of Elon College, was elected as the new chairman for the Laymen's Fel lowship, succeeding W. B. Wil liams, of Newport News, Va. Other officers elected included P. D. Howell, of Chuckatuck. Va., as vice-chairman; and D. Marsh Mc- Lelland. of Elon College, secre tary and treasurer. Dr. Danieley had held the vice-chairman's nost prior to being eevated to the lop post, while S. H. Pell, of Ram- seur, held the secretary-treasurer post last year. Or:e of the most elaborate decorative schemes in the recent history of the dance at Elon Col lege was a feature at the annual Mid-Winter Ball, which was held in Elon Alumni Memorial Gym nasium last Friday night, f'ebruary 17th. Using a Valentine theme, the student dance committee went all out in their efforts to change the appearance of the gym. The result was something beau tiful to behold, and the music by Russ Carlton and his Orchestra did much to enliven the evening for the student lovers of terpsich ore. All who attended branded the 1956 Mid-Winter Ball a success. KOREAN YOUTH (Continued From Pagf Two) War Is Ended After long months of struggle, the armstice at Panmunjom failed to achieve the United Nations ob jective of repelling and punish ing the communist aggressors, and the ultimate goal of unification Is still far distant in Korea. Yet, a divided Korea is an economic and political anomaly which can not survive. The Koreans are one people ethnically, culturally and politicaly, yet the two halves of the nation complement each other economically, and neither can long survive without the other. The position of Korea in this modern age of geo-politics is such that jjo permanent peace can be had in the Orient until the nation is unified. Every Korean under stands these basic facts, and what ever their other differences, all are determined that Korea shall be unified at whatver cost. With the war ended, works of reconstruction and industrializa tion are moving ahead in Korea, a nation which has been mainly agri cultural. Chang Gill Kim hopes, upon completion of his studies, to return to Korea and see it happy as it was before the war began, but there is a constant fear of a new outbreak. He saw with interest the happi ness and freedom and prosperity of the people of Hawaii at the time of his visit to that island and hopes that American influences may sometime make Korea as hap py and prosperous. He is enjoying much the modern way of American life and the life on the Elon campus. He finds that college education in Amer ica, as compared with college life in Korea, is much more pleasant He is particularly impressed with the atmosphere of freedom in American education. Elon Senior In Business Melvin Young, Elon senior from Mebane, is getting the jump on graduation by opening his own business right here in Elon Col lege before completing his degree requirements. He has already opened the doors of his Young's Jewelry, which is located next door to Swift Cleaners and across from the college campus. He has announced that until he graduates at the end of the pres ent quarter, he will have his store open from 1 until 5 o'clock on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday and from 9 until 5 (•'clock on Saturday. He will be open from 9 until 5:30 o'clock six days a week, beginning on Mon day, March 5th. A native of Mebane, he has been associated with his father in the jewelry business there and has had twelve years experience in watch repairing. He is carrying a full line of Bulova and Elgin watches and Westclox and GE alarm clocks, along with costume jewelry of all kinds for women snd a complete line of men's jewelry. He urges his fellow stud ents here at Elon to drop by, as suring prompt service for all needs in the jewelry line.

(Continued From Page Three) since 1947, although Coach Doc i Mathis has had his boys in the semi-finals four times and in the finals twice during the past six years. The Christians lost to Ap palachian in the 1950 finals and then lost to High Point in the 1953 finals. Despite the fact that the Elon .'quad only managed a fourth- place finish in the regular cam paign, the Christians are highly rated by the sports dopesters who have made predictions on the re sults this week. With a squad average of better than 92 points per game, the Maroon and Gold cagers have shown greater bal- : anced attacking power in most j games than have other loop teams. The feeling is that they will be I hard to stop if they hit a hot ! streak like that which won the Par- ^ris Island Christmas tournament 'for them.

Cagers Drop Decision To Lenoir Rhyne Using both height and speed to good advantage, the Lenoir Rhyne Bears turned back the Elon Christians by an overwhelming 99 to 70 margin at Hickory last Thursday night. It gave Lenoir Rhyne a sweep of the two-game series for the year, since the Bears had also won an earlier battle on the Elon floor. The home-standing Bruins grab bed a quick lead over Elon and ran it to a 14-point advantage by half-time, which saw the Lenoir Rhyne outfit with a 43-29 margin. That spread continued to grow throughout the second half. In fact, the Bears worked out a 15- point edge in the second half to go with their earlier 14-point margin of the first half. Bob Ortmyer, 6-foot 8-inch Lenoir Rhyne forward, racked 28 points and edged Raiford Wells, his 6-foot 6-inch teammate, for ini dividual scoring honors for the night. Wells, leading individual scorer in the (Conference, contrib uted 25 points toward the total. The Christians had trouble get ting a concerted attack underway, although four of the Elon players registered in double figures for the game. Frank DeRita had 16 and Earl Stone and Jimmy Crump had 15 points each to lead the Elon attack. Dee Atkinson, regu lar Christian center, was held out of action in this game and in the later Guilford game due to a slight injury but is expected to be ready for duty in the Conference tourna ment at Lexington this week.
