Perhaps it would have been a dif ferent story if Turkey had regis tered. For in the mythical State of Saint Mary’s, even -svith its predomi nantly Southern population, the election returns were close indeed. We little expected to find the Post Office hung with skeletons and the covered-way plastered with dogmatic assurances that “Willkie is the best man.” Certainly, some minds must have been swayed by the prophetic, “If he dies, what wnll -sve do with a FARMER in the White House?” With every girl a self-elected pub licity chairman, Smedes was bed lam—quite! Aside from its intense personal in terest to the students, this election was an act of kindness to Mr. Guess, Juniors and Seniors Choose Six Marshals For Coming Dances Prepares for his wedding, that his ' uiay not be taken from him. ^^Uwhile, the desperate count has q,. gut the aid of the barber, Figaro, tbe^ of the intrigue is filled with Tig ®'^bemes of both Rosina and tiou to bring about the culmina- fgjj, the love affair between the ■n,r^ ^by and her lover, the count, identity she does not suspect. ia TtAT- Mary White and Libba Jones to Serve As Chief Upperclassmen Dance Marshals Girls Shed Glamour In Contest For Coveted Titie of “Hag For a Day’’ Junior and Senior classes elected their dance marshals in class meet ings held October 29. Mary White, of Edenton, N. C., was voted chief marshal for the Seniors, while Eliza beth Toeplemaii, of Henderson, N. C. and Katherine Fleming, ot Wilson, N. C., will be the other Senior marshals. The Juniors chose Elizabeth Smedes Jones, from Ch^: lotte, as their chief marshal and Vi Johnson, of Greensboro, and Buddy Alexander, of Lynchburg, Va., as her assistants. At this same meeting the Juniors elected Ann Dunn, of Birmin^iam, Ala., and Charlotte Mahan, of Char lottesville, Va., as representatives to the Legislative Body. The dance marshal was u uew office inaugurated last year, and has been quite helpful in keeping order during the dances. The marshals are selected on the basis poise, and efficiency. Mary White, Suef marshal, served as a Junior marshal last year. The duty of the marshals is to see that everything runs smoothly throughout the dances, and so far their influence has been quite effective. The new niarsha will take up their duties for the fi^ time at the Senior dance on Decem ber 7. This year’s Halloween party, to be given in the Gym come November 2nd, is scheduled to reach a zenith of fun and spookery. The only re quirement for admittance is one ter rifying costume per person. We pre dict that the results will be more ghastly than ghostly. This, how ever, remains to be seen. To start the chains clanking, there will be a costume parade, with a prize for the most original get-up. When the contenders have been judged, and someone has been crown ed “hag for a day,” the terror- stricken judges will leave the glam our gals to their own devices. And many a “device” has been planned. If you really want to know who Billy is out with that night, you may privately consult either of the two great “diviners” to be present. If, on the other hand, you prefer to leave your love life alone, you may drown your sorrows in a bottle of pop, twelve full ounces for a nickel. Granted that your dignity is above such lowly forms of entertainment, there remains for your consideration apple bobbing and the “Haunt House.” The Juniors, after months of back breaking experiments, have finally solved the problem of how to bob for apples without suffering the Ancient Grecian Art Subject of Lecture Given By Dr. Harland SOUTHERNERS REFUSE TO CHANGE HORSES DESPITE DOG MATIC ASSURANCES OF REPUBLICAN CAMPAIGNERS Pictures Shown of Art Master pieces Found By Archaelogical Research who has had to explain and re explain the Constitution and the sys tem of national elections to his classes with infinite patience. Thus the statement, “The primary pur pose of this election is to show how a national election is conducted. As far as possible, this election is to be held according to the laws of the State of North Carolina.” Each current events class voted as a precinct, with two pollholders. Ballots were drawn up with the names of the Presidential candidates and the Democratic and Republican student electors. Voting was from 8:25 to 9 :00 and for once, at 8:30 Saint Mary’s was not sleepy. Faculty and students jammed the lower hall of Smedes, electioneering (Continued on page 2) Dr. J. P. Harland, Professor of Archaeology at the University of North Carolina, lectured on archae ology on October 28 in the audito rium. In all. Dr. Harland has spent four years in Greece “digging”; and it was the fruit of many former ex peditions that he so vividly explain ed and described in his talk, “The Discovery and Recovery of Ancient Greek Masterpieces.” Spook Party Promises Original Thrill Styles In Eerie Atmosphere He opened his discussion by desig nating on a map the position of the various cities and settlements which were art centers. Dr. Harland made his lecture more understandable by illustrating it with pictures which were flashed upon a screen as he talked. The first example used was the Lion’s Gate at Mycenae. Dr. Harland discussed the fact that many of our most famous art treas ures were discovered entirely by chance. Schliemann is said to have read a certain passage by Homer in correctly and to have dug outside the Lion’s Gate and discovered not the tomb he W'as searching for but an entirely different group of tombs. For the next period Dr. Harland moved on to Athens and to the Acropolis, which soars five hundred feet above the surrounding plain. The Parthenon stands firmly upon the Acropolis and is the work of the famous sculptor, Phidias. Leaving architecture. Dr. Harland began a discussion of Greek sculpture by tell ing about the numerous finds at Delphi, including, of course, the Charioteer of Delphi. He swung on through the years to the work of Phidias, the marble copy of the bronze Athena which stood at the gateway to the Parthenon, and to Praxiteles’ Hermes, which remained buried for many years in a bed of clay. He discussed briefly the Winged Victory of Samosthrace, Aphrodite of Melos or Venus de Milo, and concluded by turning to Phoenicia for the sarcophagus of Alexander the Great, and stressing the point that Grecian art had color. consequences of dfooly hair. Their secret process well deserves your at tention. The Drive Committee Avill be on hand with refreshments and the new thrill of the campus, the nickelodeon. A great deal of effort and enthu siasm has gone into the planning of this affair, and if attended with the same spirit, Halloween at Saint Mary’s is sure to be a success.
