Sing Each Week Under the direction of the stu­

dent body president, Stacy Kin­law, and Professor J. L. Memory, ·.vho helped lead the si1;1ging, a stu-· dent sing was· held last Monday night at twilight in the bleachers in front of the Chemistry building. Around 65 or 70 students, male and female alike, and led mostly by a group from Sigma Pi fraternity, lent their voices to the singing of songs of all types, lengths, sounds, 'rhythms, and what have you. It

, 'lasted for ·approximately half an hour and many voices were still going strong when it was all over.

Another sing of the same sort is scheduled for 9 o'clock next Mon­day night, and it is planned to hold one every_ following Monday night for the remainder of the summer session if they meet with any suc­cess at~ all. Announcements · per­taining to the subject will be mad~ in Chapel.

Play rehearsais run smoothly . . . .. sometimes.

The only available pic­tures to use as props were some Petty Girl prints which were. ly­ing around. The lines of the play run something like this "Why ;t looks like a dead fish.

about the Wake Forest professor who---almost got a proposal from a coed. The moon was at a right angle; the air was cool and refreshing; the music was "out of this world." Yep!

Throughout the course of each school term there are many and varied expenses that the Council must meet. Parties spon­sored by the Council for the student body, the printing of bal­.Iots for election~; the printing of student handbooks, and the buying of ribbons, are only a few examples of the necessary ex­penses that must be undergone.

The· value of these student handbooks can hardly be ques­tioned. A careful survey will reveal that they contain a lot of the essential information· needed by college freshmen. The hand­books include the college song, the constitutions of various cam­pus organizations, and impo~tant rules and regulations. Also, the wearing of a ribbon serves a useful function in the eyes of the Council, for i~ feels that it serves as an invaluable method of getting acquainted, which is the easiest method, in turn, of br,eaking the ·ice for lonely freshmen.

On being questioned about these accusations, Stacy Kinlaw, president of the student body, said, "The Council has worked hard and faithfully with me for a better student government. We are working for the benefit of the student body and are cooper-. ating with all who are in our studeqt body. We will appreciate all complaints c;oncerning the conduct of· our ·administration be­ing made directly to us. Constructive criticism will be.·appreci­ated."
