Slljf A STUDENT PUBLICATION OF FLORA MACDONALD COLLEGE VOLUME IV Red Springs, N. C., Tuesday, February 28, 1956 PJC, FMC to Participate In Fellowship Night Student Body to Elect Officers From March 6 Through March 21 Mary Archie Brown, Presi dent of the Student Association, in an interview, presents her suggestions for the student body to keep in mind concerning the approaching elections: “The right to vote is a priv ilege for which men have fought to make themselves equal with one another. This equality rests upon the might and power of the ballot. Each individual who casts his vote in actuality is helping choose the one who represents his ideas and actions. Therefore, I woud ask that each member of the Student Body make these personal reso lutions: 1. That I will accept the right of voting as a privilege and as a moral responsibility; 2. That I realize that those I help elect shall be capable rep resentatives of the individual student; 3. That I will understand my part in student government as a growth experience; 4. That I will constantly pray that I will vote according to my convictions under the guidance of His Holy Spirit.” March 6 marks the initial day of elections here at Flora Mac donald College. Beginning on this day, the elections will be held through March 21. It is at this time that the student body will elect the campus leaders for the school year of 1956-57.

Taffy views the girls in her favorite hangout, the gym. how would you like to have your home be invaded every day by 80 or 40 chattering fe males? One groulp is particulary annoying. They come out and kick their feet this way and that way and turn all around, which makes it very difficult for me to run and jump as I’d like to. I think it’s called the.
