Earl Danieiey
A Parliamentarian
J. Earl Danieiey, asisstant pro
fessor of chemistry and mentor
of the college debating team, has
received notice from Mrs. Robert
E. McDonnell, Chairman of Reg
istration for the National Asso
ciation of Parliamentalians, that
he has met all requirements and
is now a Registered Parliamen
tarian.
A new course, parliamentary
law, was introduced by Professor
Danieiey last spring. This course,
now a regular part of the college |
curriculum, is on the junior-sen
ior level and gives to the student |
one semester hour of credit, the j
class meeting once weekly. The |
course will be available in any
term if there is sufficient de
mand.
CAMPUS BRIEFS
Carnival Royalty
Miss Miriam Bolwell, freshman
from West Barrington, R. I., and
Oliver Howell, freshman from
Sanford, N. C., were crowned
queen and king at the S.C.A. Car
nival held in the Gym Friday
night, Nov. 5. The queen was pre
sented with a lovely corsage of
yellow roses.
In tryouts held last week,
Jeanne Parks and Robert Rubinate
were selected for leading roles
in ‘Angel Street,” the Elon Play
ers’ next production which is to
be presented in Whitley Auditor
ium Dec. 15, acording to an an
nouncement made by Mrs|Eliza-
beth Smith, director.
Joan Bolwell, Pat Sanford and
Ed Nash will appear in support
ing roles.
“Angel Street” is a psychologi
cal drama which requires a com
petent cast, Mrs. Smith says.The
play enjoyed a long Broadway
run and was successful on road
tours. Produced for the screen
under the title of “Gas Light,” In-
grid Bergman and Charles Boyer-
played Mr. and Mrs. Manning-
ham.
This play is perhaps the most
difficult of the Players’ current
season from the standpoint of act
ing requirements. The plot is
about a man who, for nefarious
reasons, is systematically driving
his wife out of her mind. Robert
Kubinate plays the suave, myster
ious Mr. Manningham, and
Jean Parks plays Mrs. Manning
ham, his piteous wife.
Into this depressing scene
comes Rough, a detective who has
very good reasons for wanting to’
question Mrs. Manningham con-|
cerning her husband. Rough, to!
be played by Ed Nash, is the
one character in “Angel Street”!
who is received by the audience
with open arms. His warm,
brusque, friendly manner is a
welcome change from the somber
mood created by the Manning-
hams.
The domestic staff of the house
on Angel Street includes Eliza
beth, the housekeeper, played by
Joan Bolwell, and Nancy, a pretty
cheeky maid, played by Pat San
ford.
“Angel Street,” now in rehear
sal, promises to be one of the
Elon Players’ foremost dramatic
achievements. It will be present
ed for one night only, on Decem
ber 15.
Insult was added to injury
when Prof. Earl Danieiey came
to school following the general
elections of Nov. 2.
He was greeted by a sign, hung
over the door of Alamance Build
ing, which read:
“Here lie the hopes of Dewey,
Danieiey and the Republican
Party, buried Nov. 2, 1948. You
can fool some of the people some
of the time, but you can fool all
the Republicans all the time.”
Mr. Danieiey has not been
reached for a comment.

Full Radio Course
South Hadley, Mass. — (IP) —
Co-eds at Mount Holyoke CoUege
will learn to twirl the dials as
well as to face the microphone as
a result of a new course offered
in radio speaking and broad
casting.
Professional equipment of the
kind used in commercial broad
casting stations, including the
control panel used for a few
weeks by station WACE in near
by Chicopee before its new FM
equipment was available, a poly-
directional mircophone, a second
small microphone and a monitor
speaker for the control room, has
been installed in the new campus
radio studio set up here.
The new control panel, which
all students in th« radio course
will learn to operate, will make it
possible to arrange for outside
broadcasts by telephone wire con
nections, and for a campus net
work to the dormitories, when de
sired.

Elon Student Qualifies
As "Mr. Bong"
Paul Rosser, sophomore, has of
ficially succeeded Lil Abner as
“Mr. Bong.”
Recently at Camp Butner a 12-
pound sledge hammer fell about
five feet and landed squarely on
Mr. Rosser’s skull.
The “bong” was right — and
Rosser was unconscious for only
30 minutes.

More Nominations
For May Court
Nominations for the 1948 May
court were made Monday, Nov. 8,
at student chapel. An announce
ment was neglected to the effect
that nominees other than those
for Queen and King need not
have a definite scholastic aver
age.
Because of this neglect, it was
the belief of the student body
that all memebrs of the May
court must have a “C” average or
better. As a result, many who
might have been nominated for
Junior and Senior attendants
were not mentioned.
To right this wrong, Don Ker-
nodle, student body president,
has postponed the primaries
schedueld for Tuesday, Nov. 16,
and has announced that nomina
tions for May court are to be re
opened on Monday, Nov. 22, in
student chapel. The nominations
for May Queen and King will,
however, stand as of the 8th of
November.
To better acquaint the students
with the various nominees and so
that repititions in nominations be
omitted, the following list is
given:
May Queen: Mildred Johnson,
Doris Cannon, and Jeanne Mere
dith.
May King: Steve Walker, Fred
Claytor, Vic Strader, Muril
Hughes, Don ernodle, Ed Ellis,
Dalton Harper, Tommy Burton, i
Wallace Chandler.
Senior men attendants: Calvin
Milam, Bob Harris, Jim Parker,
Jesse Martin, Garnett Beamer,
Ted Parker, Bill Stafford.
Senior women attendants: Vir
ginia Rebick, Lib Jernigan, Dot
Brinkley, Norma Jean Edwards,
Caolyn Thompson.
Junior men attendants: Lou
Savini, Jennings Berry, Richard
Painter, Deward Hooker, Jeff
Davis, Tommy Howell.
Junior women attendants: Je
anne arks, Martha eazey, Evelyn
Moore.
From these names and others
to be nominated will be chosen,
other than King and Queen, a
Maid and Escort of Honor, and
two men and two women attend
ants from both the Junior and
Senior classes.
The primaries will be held at
a date yet to be posted.
Saying that he believed Elon’s
Maroon and Gold to be the only
college paper in the state to run
its own press, Howard White, city
editor of The Burlington Times-
News, visited the campus press
Wednesday to gather material
for a feature story to be released
to state papers some time next
week.
Mr. White took pictures of Ma
roon and Gold staff members in
action while Worth Womble, vet
eran press man, rolled page one
of this issue through the press.
The editorial and sports pages
had been run Tuesday night.
For the picture taking, students
took up positions around the
press room and pretended to be
doing work that had really been
finished the night before.
Editor-in-Chief Ted Parker,
Feature Editor Frances Newton
and Sports Editor Rocco SUeo
compared dummies of their new
seven-column pages.
Make-up man Gray Hackney
worked at the stone over the lay
out of page four, a joint project
of Hackney and linotype operator
B. G. Frick, his boss.
Worth Womble stood at the an
cient flat-bed Hoe press feeding
paper off the “table.” Mr. White
estimated that the press used by
the students is somewhere be
tween 75 and 100 years old, and
expresed appreciation for the
fact that page prints from the
press are clearer than those corn
ing off modern presses.
Mr. Wiiite has been interested
in Maroon and Gold since the
first of the year. As editor of
“The Pioneer,” Catawba College
paper, in 1940-41, he acquired fa
miliarity with college paper prob
lems and turned out the best pa
per in the school’s history, A
scrap book of all the issues of
The Pioneer” on which Mr.
White worked is now in the press
room, being used as a model by
the Maroon and Gold staff.
The story being prepared by
Mr. White will appear in The
“Times - News” sometime next
week, he says, and will probably
be released to state papers for
Sunday, Nov. 28.

boro, N. C., a recent graduate of
the Wake Forest Law School, was
the guest speaker at a meeting of
the Pre-Legal Society on Wednes
day night, Oct. 24.
Mr. Stone’s talk centered
around things of interest concern
ing law and legal proceedings. He
also spoke of the many hazards
confronting the aspiring lawyer
upon his debut in the legal world.
A growing organization, the
Pre-Legal Society at present has
a membership of 21. All who are
interested in the processes of law
are urged to join the society. This
may be done by contacting James
Widenhouse, president; Coy
Eaves, vice-president; Gerald
Chandler, secretary; or Virgil
Money, treasurer.

Professor Barney’s classroom. The
next meeting will be November
10, the time to be announced at a
later date.
Med. Students Rejected
Despite Doctor Shortage
Ctoumbus, O.—]IP)—Only one
out of four students in the United
States ready to enter medical
schools gained admittance this
fall despite the fact that the na
tion faces an “acute shortage” of
doctors.
Results of a survey of the na
tion’s medical schools made by
Junior Dean William S. Guthrie
of Ohio State University’s College
of Arts and Sciences, point up
two important problems:
1. An estimated 21,878 stu
dents sought admission to the 5,-
502 openings in 67 medical schools
from whom reports were obtain
ed. There are only 77 such schools
in the nation. Many of these stu
dents applied for admission to
more than one medical school re
sulting in 83,228 applications.
2. There is lacking any plan
for training any more than the
normal pre-war number of doc
tors in the nation’s medical
schools. The openings for quali
fied candidates in the medical
schools are no better than they
were last year—or 10 years ago.
