GOLD SLIPPERS FOR THETRACKTEAM The track team of the University did not make such a splendid record this year. We 1 all wonder why? A member of the squad said, "The track team isn't getting the support of the student body. Further, there is no incentive for a man to come out and train all season under such conditions." Probably that explains the situation. Then, again, it may not. The track season is over. About seven ien will get their letters. This in a way, is a regard. but is not in keeping with the rewards meted out to those who participate in other lines of sport. We find the members of the football team gctting gold foot ball emblems, while the basketball men get gold basketball emblems, and the letter men of the baseball squad receive gold baseball emblems. Why shouldn't the track men be given gold slippers as emblems? We find a neighboring state insti tution awarding emblems to all of the letter men. This is done with funds froin the canteen. We have a student canteen here. They are supposed to make some prolit. The writer would suggest that in the fu ture the student activities committee use all profits from this institution for the purpose of buying emblems for the letter men. The manager of the track team re ports a sulrplus of a few dollars on haInd from the track appropriation. He further states that there will be no further track meets, and the funds tlhat lhe has will be sufficient to pur chase the necessary gold slippers. Te AthitiC Advisory Ioard has no flumis to make this purchase. Why couldn't the manager of the track le:im1n be instiructed by the Adv isory Ioard to buy Ilese slippers and pre sent thein to the mebileI's of the team before J1itne?

A. met Monday after noon, May 7th, 1923, at Melton Hall, at 4:00 p. i. The 'singing of Feveral songs, a scripture reading by Miss Catharine Floyd, to!lowed by a prayer by :iss Mattie Varn, made up the first 1ort.on cf the program. Mrs. S T. Sparkman was then intro duced by the president, as representing tli local city Y. W. C. A. Mrs. Spark man spoke most charmingly upon the subject of "Leaders." She told us of the great need, not only in the Y. W., but in all life for leaders. We must save sound bodies, clear brains, good memories, plus the creative imiagina tion, if we would succeed.

The Y Home o, 1604 Bryan's Bool~ 1440 A the vaudeville given Saturday night t by the Y. W. C. A. Miss Edith Rice, r a graduate of the class of 1922, who is c at present teaching in McColl, most n generously sent a large check to the b Y. W. to help some girl go to Blue Ridge. But we still need money. It takes $50 to send a single delegate to Blue Ridge and we surely don't want our University to fall down in this mat ter. It was unanimously decided to repeat the vaudeville, giving the real thing this time-instead of the dress - rehearsal. A delightfully clever stunt, "The Perils of Esquiland," followed by the serving of Esquimo pies, Esquiland's chief product, concluded the program. The next meeting of the Y. W., to be held May 21st, will be the last meet. ing this season. Please remember this and come. Let's wind up the year with a bang-and start out in September with pep enough* to lead even the timidest freshman Co-ed in the ways that she should go. And we can, if YOU will help!
