For years the powers that be have wracked the depths of their minds in an attempt to discover a plausible reason for the limited student attendance at hand-picked iyeeum programs. For years their primary aim was to bring to our campus only performers displaying the highest the world of arts had to offer, but consideration of the quality of the performers themselves was lost in the quest for the former. _ '• : It took a long while to realize that fu-st at tention should be given to the type gf'^%ist and leave the program to his discretfon.‘feelin? as- sui'ed that his selection of material would be most entertaining and still possess the qualities ex- Dear Editor: W!iy is it that when the ad ditional seats were placed in the ?i’d'^^ori\u‘n t>*^r9 vas little, if j allow^ance r^ade for room in wbtch j to pass? \^Tien somebody comes' n. a whole row must stand uo. «“o that the^- mav pass by.

Something must done before the Nino Martini con cert. j — A Student j Editor’s note; I realize the fact ;vhich '''ou have pointed out;neeJ attention. Those extra . seats were installed because it takes a -acked house to pav for good ar tists so when Nino Martini comes Lo F.lon every scat available will e used and you should be pleased to stand a limited amount oi punishjnent for the^privHege of 'hearing the top performers o^o- day. ;• T KOW DID YOU LIKE THIS ^ YFAR'S MID-YEAR EXAM PLAN [ Af? rOMFARED V''ITH THAT OF i FRFV’OTJS YEARS? BIU Looney: Very m.uch. I , th’Pk it is fair to the students. , j FJo Ray: I think exams this ! j'ear were too disorganized. With j.a definite schedule one knows just \yhere he stands so far as ■'distri bution of exams are conceqr\ed; Sieve Caslura: It’s a better i plan than previously^ because it does awry with last minute, cram ming. Evalyn Holmes: sJ In one'rospec* it is fairer to the stQdents, yet the professors give tooi fauch niaterial to be covered in sin hour. •.

Jokes aside how — there are really some rather outstanding de- parLnienis ac our little college, ihis week we are boosting the Music department^ that is, giving vX^e luipoicant, coid facts. The Music department is one of the best equipped and well-bal anced schools of the state or even the south. In the auditoriurr' there is a Four MannuaL S'Kiruifcr Ofiian, which is one oi the larg est in the state. In the way ot pianos there are two ot the Nrer^ best available, one a Steinwav Concert Grand and the other a Mason and Lli.-mond. GranL Added to uiis mere are four studios and twenty-two practice rooms eacn* with .piano. Each year the Cooperativf- Con cert Series is given in the WhitiCj • Aienjorial Auditorium. A much f'bigger'&nd better series, is on siaie the last week it would be fine. Louie.Hubbard-r O. K. They're aim.ost as bad as the ones in pre vious years but one is not so con scious'of it... r Dewey Hooper^ It’s very good plan. Paul V/illard: In some rpspectr I liked this year’s plai\^_ and .jn some last year’s. 'I tt^iak tKis year’s is better in that ;you take them more as a niatter of -course, but it is nice to have a couple of days off between semesters. Elmer Williams: -I’ didrb^ like them much because there were too many in one day. A1 Progar: I do like the^ short tests and I like to have them more often like we have them because i you don’t have to cram and you get more out of them. Margaret Carroll: Yes, Because ihere wasn’t so much cramming ijoing on and you leain more when you dont.cram, } Howard Brown: I - like ' this ^ I year s a whole lot better, because I you don t have to study as hare*, j ior one-hour exams as three-hour j exams and you get them over. with quicker. j -fS /;C£—ATLANTA St’KE i-CAN CATCH YOU . . .

Elon Day by Day Day Student Doings Now with semester exams pass ed with the sands- of time, our ears are filled with the weeping and gnashing of teeth. But an added reminder — tomorrow is another da>^ so let's make the best of it. Clke the deacon’s one horse shay, the vintaged gas buggy of Saecicer gave a relapsed breath and stopped dead in front to the Elon gates — oh yes, the boys were enroute to Virginia.
