NORTH CAROLINA COLLEGIATE PRESS NEWS SERVICE (Queens College) Dr. W. H. Fraser has accepted the presidency of Queen’s and will arrive in June to take up his duties. Dr. Fraser is now president of Belhaven College, Mississippi and is a well- known educator in the South. The ministers and elders of the Presbyterian Churches of Charlotte and vicinity entertained the college faculty Thursday evening, in the parlors of the First Presbyterian church. Queens was represented by three students at the Student Volunteer Conference held at Trinity College the week-end of the twenty-fifth. (Trinity Chronicle) At a meeting of the Athletic Council held on last Tuesday night the tenta tive schedule of intercollegiate track meets was passed on and was made ready for publication. The schedule for this spring’s track season calls for three meets here and three abroad, one of those abroad being the State meet. The schedule embraces three ancient rivals of Trinity’s on the track, Carolina, State College, and Wake Forest. Each of these is to be met on the local field, Carolina on the 8 or 11 of April, State on the 14 of April, and Wake Forest on the 22 (pending). The State meet will be held at Caro lina as is customarily the case on May 7. The track squad will make one trip during the season for two meets. That the team will be sure to make this trip is definitely assured by the graduate manager. Two trips have been looked into, one to the South and one into Virginia. Which one will be the ultimate selection depends largely on how the dates can be arranged. In either case two meets will be arranged for the trip. Track prospects for this season seem bright. Coach Egan is an ex perienced track man, being an unusu ally good jumper, clearing the bar at six feet two inches. He is a member of the New York Irish A. C. and from his conneition with this organization has had much practical experience. An assistant coach to assist Mr. Egan will be chosen during the coming week and announcement made of the choice in next week’s Chronicle. “A woman should have a young heart, an old head, and a baby face.” JUNIOR-SENIOR PROM. May 7 is the time! How can we wait for the above day to arrive, when men, yes, perfectly good men, will be in our midst? Enthu.siasm is running high for the Junior-Senior prorn and it is hoped that it will be a bigger success this year than ever before.

FAIRCLOTirS GOODY SHOP 400 South Main Street ELON CLOSES SUCCESSFUL BASKETBALL SEASON The game with Wofford on the home floor Monday evening will bring Elon’s basketball season to a close. It is not probable that any extra games will be played to break existing ties with Davidson, Wake Forest, or N. C. State, owing to the early opening of the baseball season. On the whole the season has been very successful. A total of nineteen games were played, including all the college teams in the state except Trinity, three strong Virginia Col leges, and five “Y” and Association games. Of these nineteen games eleven have been won while eight resulted in victories for the opposing teams. Not a single game was lost on the home floor. . , , The record of games with the state colleges only is especially gratifying. Out of eleven games seven were won and four were lost. Guilford and Lenoir were defeated twice each. Davidson, N. S. State, and Wake Forest were each defeated on the local floor but succeeded in turning the tables on their own courts. Carolina also defeated the Maroon and Gold quint. Elon’s percentage in state col lege games only is 636, which places her in a high position on the list. (Guilford College) On February 19, the Guilford Col lege debating team won a double vic tory in a dual debate with Hampden- Sydney College. The question debated was resolved. That waiving all ques tions as to transportation,'the Federal Government should own and operate all the coal mines in the United States, constitutionality granted. E. L. Hollady and S. C. Hodgin, the affirmative team, won by a two to one decision at Guilford, while J. C. New- lin and A. I. Newlin won by a unani mous vote at Hampden-Sydney. Chapel Hill, March 4.—Recent de velopments justify the belief that the summer session, begining June 21st of this year, will be a very successful one. According to an announcement from the secretary all the rooms in V'ance, Pettrigrew and Battle and many others besides have already been taken. Mr. Walker, the director, is at Harvard on leave but will return in time to assume his former duties. Every member of the school of educa tion will remain “on the Hill” for the summer, preferring to teach hero rather than elsewhere. The Co-ed basket-ball team at the University lost two games on their initial trip last week, playing again.st Lenoir and Charlotte Y. W. C. A. and losing by a goodly margin in both contests. Dr. C. S. Mangum and Prof. A. H. Patterson of the faculty committee on athletics recently attended the south ern college athletic conference held in Atlanta. The conference, an out growth of similar state conferences, will be modeled after the mid-western conference and will be founded upon the principles of the one-year rule for first year men, prohibition of money for summer baseball and the settle ment of special cases by the institu tion concerned. Carolina’s baseball schedule for 1921 as recently given out by Manager Ruffin includes an extended northern trip and a three-day stay in Gotham. The big trip will embrace contests with Georgetown, V. M. I., Maryland, Fordham, N. Y. U., C. C. of N. Y. and Swarthmore. The season opens with New York University playing here on March 23. Other schools to be en countered are the ancient rival Vir ginia, and a number of state schools, Wake Forest, Trinity, State, Davidson and Guilford. Plans are being made also for a game with Buffalo, which club trains at Durham. At a recent mass meeting of the young men, the annual fee of the Athletic Association was raised from five to ten dollars. Only five men voted against the change. A delegation from Erskine College, Due West, S. C., including the presi dent of the college, visited Guilford last week to inspect the college donni- tories. DAVIDSON JUNIOR SPEAKING GREAT SUCCESS Fair weather, fair maidens, well- delivered speeches, musical and dra matic exhibitions, basketball, interest ing (to say the least) strolls, and gen eral good fellowship, made the 1921 Junior Speaking the best ever. The sixteen Juniors chosen from the literary society preliminaries ten days ago, looked mighty fine in their full dress, and their presentations of the varied subjects were equally pleasing. Another victory was added in basketball when the Winston Y was defeated Friday night. The Glee Club concert Saturday afternoon was a real revelation and a real pleasure. The two one-act plays Saturday evening left little to be desired in the drama tic line. The Junior reception Satur day night furnished a jolly good time oh’ all. The new Junior Speaking set a fine pace for future occasions of this kind, and marked an advance in the social life on Wihlcat Hill.
