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?

Y. W. C. A. NOTES
The Y. W. C. 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.

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.
