ELECTIONS AN EDITORIAL When students reach college age they should be able to make their own decisions and make them wisely, but it seems that instead, many are influenced by the idle gossip of their associates. Elections should bring out this quality in students, and unless each student takes advantage of this opportunity to express his views the whole purpose of student elections and student government has failed. After a student reaches college she is mature enough and has intelligence enough to make a decision in elections without being influenced by idle gossip. This group of persons who make it their business to roam about school and try to sway pubic opinion create an undesirable situation as far as elections are concerned. They try to persuade some whose minds are already made up, and they try to persuade freshmen and others who are not quite sure for whom they will vote. The purpose of a democratic government is for its citizens to have popular government or in other words their own government. This habit of meddling retards this individual thinking in students and destroys real student government. In the elections tomorrow, if everyone remembered this fact, and everyone tried to make his own decision and not try to decide for other people too, wouldn't the elections be fairer, more satistying and more what the studentt body is really looking for?

The Hampden-Sydney Glee Club assisted by the Hampden-Sydney Collegians and Ben Franklin, professional magician will give a concert in the S. T. C. auditorium Friday night at 8 o'clock. The Glee Club which has won unusual popularity in its several appearances here will measure up to its high standard of vocal achievement in this concert. Its numbers will include choruses, quartettes and solos. In the three years of its organization this group has made remarkable strides, last year winning the contest for college glee clubs in Virginia. It has appeared for two successive years on the program of the convention of the Federated Music Clubs of Virginia and has won the favor of all who heard it. The Collegians are fast gaining a reputation of note. Their last performance in this college was at the Mardi Gras where they played for an enthusiastic group. Although Ben Franklin performed some of his feats of magic at the S. T. C. circus, he has many more which he will perform Friday night and many which are more clever than any ever presented to an audience in our auditorium. This concert is being given on the eve of an extended tour through Virginia and West Virginia by the Glee Club and those assisting with the program. Do doubt the performance wil be presented to large audiences in the cities on the tour. Certainly everyone here at home will want to attend Friday night and support the boys!

Ths program is sponsored by the music section of the Virginia Educational Association —the object being 11 ) to create a statewide interest in music in junior and senior high schools: <2' to definitely assist the study of music in band, orchestra, and chorus; «3» to stimulate the social value of music by group activities. It is hoped that pupils from many scholfi will participate, and all schools are urged to learn the suggested musical numbers whether they send repiesentatives or not. It can hardly be expected to have balanced groups the first year, but this beginning will give valuable experience to all who participate and with enthusiastic support Virginia may send many represenatives to the national high school chorus, band and orchestra. The following people are serving as directors in this activity and the list of compositions chosen by each group is appended: Band—John Van de Venter, director, Fredericksburg. Orchestra—Lizabeth Purdom. director. State Teachers College, Farmville. Chorus Edna Shaefier. director, S. T. C. Harrisonburg. Proposed Program Chorus: The Dream Boat Passes By ..

The fall tournament is being finished this week and we hope to be able to announce the singles champion in a few days. Spring tennis has aready begun and its hoped that more people will try out for the varsity squad. We are Ding to have a game with Black.'tone College, here, and William and Mary, at Williamsburg. Now that the courts are being fixed up so nicely it is important that we keep them this way. Please wear rubber sole shoes while playing; otherwise the courts will be full of holes. Anybody desiring rackets or balls, see Miss Her. When you sign up to play be absolutely sure which court you sign up to play for and which time you sign up to play, before asking anybody to give the court up. Every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon from 3 to 4 Miss Her will be out on the courts to give individual instruction. This is a good opportunity to learn how to play tennis or to improve your game. Don't miss it!
