Preparations are under way for the 1939 edition of the Elon May Day. As we already know, Mil dred Craven is to be the May Queen and Galloway Walker is to be her escort, the May King. The attendants of the Court are the following Senior girls: Ruth Page Clark, Helen Dailey, Mary Frances Walker, and Juanita Waugh. They will assist the queen in her royal duties. Mrs. Hendrickson, who will di rect the program, has made no definite decision as to the theme and other aspects except for the announcement that there will be a group of Country dances pre sented. She also has invited the kings and queens of past years to come back for this year’s pro gram. Here is a chance for everyone to vote again, not for the cam pus officers, but for the most popular students, the most ver satile, best-looking, laziest, and on down the line. Last year the Maroon and Gold gave the students an op portunity to vote for the super latives on the campus and the contest was very successful. This year we hope everyone will take an interest in this con test and make it even more suc cessful. With this issue of the Maroon and Gold a mimeo graphed ballot is to be given out, listing the superlatives to be chosen. The rules are very simple: Each student is allowed one vote, and each vote should be taken seriously. No one is to take offense at the title he or she is given, but is to accept it in the good nature in which it is intended. Do yodr own voting, and place the ballots in the box in front of the Maroon and Gold office before April 15. The Ma roon and Gold will print the results in its next issue.

Approximately seventy students attended the convention, repre senting sixteen colleges, Meredith, 9ueen-Chicora, St. Mary’s, High Point, Wake Forest, University of North Carolina, Greensboro Col lege, W.

These students have been out standing in these courses and their knowledge along with the guidance of their respective pro fessors will enable them to carry on the work without any diffi culty or change in the college cur riculum. Communism — You have two cows. You give both to the government and the govern ment gives you the milk. Fascism — You keep the cows, give the milk to the govern ment, and the government sells the milk back to you. by Wesley Holland and June Murphy By the time you read this the elections will be over. Here is a warm hand of congratulations to each and every new officer. We hear so much talk of rotten poli tics that it is impossible to form an opinion unless we know exact ly how to vote. With all the stir in Europe these days it seems fitting to say some thing on that subject. Here is a contribution from one of the best Home Town Plug: The largest music festival that has ever been held in North Carolina came off last week in Kinston. Thousands flock to the key tobacco market for a day of fun and celebration. Mr, Pat Alderman is the director, and he ably does the job every year. It looks as though this Confer ence is going to have to be named the Big Six and the so-called Big Five redubbed Little Five. Those little teams really wrought havoc among the larger teams last week. Don’t get excited, though: Elon may be having a streak of luck. Don’t ever let Ben Hurst take The entire Student Christian As sociation met in the Little Chapel on Tuesday of last week for the purpose of electing officers for next year.

Dr. Brannock is improving gradually, but he will not be able to teach any more this semester Dean Oxford is recovering from a back injury sustained before the spring holidays, when she felJ from a horse and broke two verte brae. She is now resting in a plas ter cast in her room in West Dormitory, but she will not be able to teach before the begin ning of May. Campus officers for the coming school year were elected last Tues day. Despite the fact that there was more fierce competition this year than ever before, the offices were evenly divided. This year, as never before, both publication editorships were wide open, there being only one nomi nee in the finals for each office. June Leath was the unanimous choice for the PhiPsiCli and Wes ley Holland for editor of the Ma roon and Gold. The polls were open from 8 A. M. until 2:30 P. M. Although there was some congestion just outside the polls, the election of ficers reported no trouble in handling the voters during the en tire day. Nearly every organization on the campus is represented with some student office. Another fac tor that has, without a doubt, in fluenced local politics is the ap pearance of the newly formed ‘Elon Liberals”. The complete returns of the election are as follows: President, Student Body Duane Vore President, Senate Curtis Jones President, Council Frances Bean Vice-President, Council Nancy Hoylman Secretary, Council Mary Helen Chason Treasurer, Council Doris Gordon | RISING SENIORS Class President ' L.
