Fred Waring National Glee Club Competition song, "All Through the Night."
This recording, Professor McDonald said, was made primarily for the benefit of the glee club. By listening to it they will be able to better correct any defects which may occur. The final contest record will be made on April 8, in radio station WPTF, when a Waring agent will visit the school.
The Wake F<lrest glee club is one of 143 from colleges and universities throughout the nation to enter the contest. Other North Carolina iDstitutions to be represented are Duke University, State College, and Davidson College.
Is Alumni The 143 competing schools are
divided into eight regions, and the winner of each region will go to New York for the final contest. The winner chosen there will be heard on one of Waring's Pleasure Time programs, aired five times weekly over the National Broadcasting system.
No Newspaper There will be no OLD GOLD
AND BLACK issued next week.
This omission of an issue is necessary because advertising and printing contracts made last year specified that the paper should appear 28 times tltis year. These agreements considered that an issue would be omitted for the week of spring holidays. And now, even though spring holidays have been cancelled, the contracts cannot be broken. Thus, no OLD GOLD AND BLACK next week.
3) A program to back: the college Board of Trustees in its stand regarding coeducation at Wake Forest.
4) The abolishment of compulsory class attendance for student.s who consistently make the honor roll.
5) The establishment, if practical, of a Student Union (recreational center) on the campus.
With regard to the fifth plank: of his platform Patton said that in view of existing conditions resulting from the war he was not sure that it would be practical to establish a Student Union in the near future, since the project would require considerable financial backing, but that if it did prove practical he would make every effort to see it established.
McMillan, stealing a jump on Patton, announced his platform last week. He pledged himself, if elected, to:
1) · Persistent agitation for a Student Union on the campus.
2) Absolute enforcement of the honor system.
3) And all-out participation of the campus in the national offense effort.
Disagrees with SPU Questioned regarding the SPU
move to do away with fraternitynon-fraternity alignments in campus politics, he said, "I think that a two-party system disregarding fraternity and non - fraternity alignments would make the selection of student government offices far more fair and democratic than it is now. "However," he added, "I think any plan to the end of establishing such a system is somewhat ideal, and it would take the fullest cooperation of both fra-

STUDENT LEGISLATURE
' After four weeks of detiberation last Feb-
ruary Wake Forest's Student Legislature and
Student Council, though convinced that the
Student Legislature bad been utt~rly inef
fective in the past, decided not to abolish that
"governing" body but to reorganize it and
make of it an active body. The means of making it an active body, it was decided, were ~o elevate its president, Clarence Bridger, to a Student Council position, to have it meet once a month and propose methods of bettering stu
dent life and government.
When the amendment was put before the
student body as a whole for vote, it was stated
simply Do You or Do You Not Favor Reorgani
zation of the Legislature? The student body, not being given an opportunity to vote on abolition of the Legislature, naturally enough
voted for reorganization.
And what has this reorganization meant?
The record thus far is this: the Legislature
has met not one time; no methods of improving
student life-a vague, ambiguous phrase-have been proposed. A meeting was called once, but only two members showed up, not enough for a quorum. And President Bridger ca!l now attend Student Council meetings, but this fact alone will not make of the Legislature ~n effective lower house.
Even supposing that the Student Legislature had met and talked and decided matters, it could have done nothing which could not be included in the scope of the Student Council's activities. Formerly the Student Legislature was required to meet three times a year, and it could find nothing to do. It is reasonable that if the old Legislature, meeting only three . times a year for the same purposes, could do nothing, the new Legislature meeting once a month could find less to do, despite the wordy clause about "bettering student life and gov
ernment."
It is now known that the Student Legis
lature was retained because of fear of political repercussions which would follow throwing six men out of an office, no matter how much ·they
deserved being thrown out.
Last February OLD GOLD AND BLACK advocated abolishment of the legislature, and it advocates it even more strongly now. The only way in which an amendment for abolition can be proposed is through the Student Council and Legislature in joint meeting. We urge that such a meeting be held immediately, that the governoring members look beyond mere
politics, that they see the Student Legislature for what it is and what it will always be: excess baggage. We urge them to allow the student body to vote on abolition. And, if given the chance, the student body will most certainly vote: "abolish."
NEW LIBRARY GIFT
Today the Wake Forest Law School re
ceives a gift of approximately 600 law books
from Mrs. 0. Max Gardner and Mrs. Madge
Webb Riley, the daughters of a Wake Forest
alumnus, the late Judge James L. Webb.
The college has always been proud of its library, and, with such a collection, it will be able to be even prouder. On behalf of the student body, we extend sincere thanks to Mrs Gardner and Mrs. Riley for the gift.
REMEMBER BOND DRIVE
Last night's special effort to raise money
for Wake Forest's bond purchase was a suc
cess and well-worth the time which the Student
Council and participants spent on it. However, the tendency now will be to relax efforts to raise further funds for •the driva . Before Wake Forest fulfils its self-imposed promise, approximately $400 must be raised. Students
should remember this.
with W .A'h.'"E FOREST
By Bob Gallimore
With the advent of student body nominations on Wednesday the candidates of the fraternity political caucus for the three major student government offices, long unofficially common knowledge but officially a secret, became known, and political alignments became more and more sharply sharply drawn. With less than two weeks left before elections, candidates began se1·iously to make campaign plans, many a hopeful sent off orders to printers for posters, and politics became increasingly the subject of general conversation.
As the political haze continued to clear, three points stood out. These were:
1) That upon the outcome of the elections will hinge the fate of the Student Political Union, one year old this week. If it is successful, its place as a campus political power will be assured. If it is not, chances are it will die. Non-fraternity men will support a hard-working and potent organization, but an organization which fails in every election they will not. The Union has already failed in two elections, last year's Spring general elections and this year's Fall freshman elections, though in last year's Spring elections it took more offices than non-fraternity men had ever taken before. These two failures they tolerated, because the Union was young and inexperienced, but another failure they will not look upon so tolerantly, for the organization has now had one year and two elections of experience, and with hard work should be able to succeed.
Almost certain is it that the Union will take several minor offices. The law of averages annually gives non-fraternity men a number of these. But to be counted successful. the organization will have to take either the presidency or both the vice-presidency and the secretary-treasuryship. In all three of the major offices, particularly the presidency, with John Johnson McMillan as its candidate, its chances are excellent, but in order to capture even one of them it will have to work, and work hard.
2) That the race for the presidency wm be.tight, and might well go to either SPU Candidate McMillan or Fraternity Candidate William Joseph Patton.
In one sense the battle for the presidency will be a battle of personalities. Neither candidate has previously held a student government office, though McMillan would have had he not been defeated last Spring as SPU candi

There is superb characterization - the sympath~tic, stolid, and all-know-' ing father, Ling Tan; the taciturn but practical-minded mother; and the three sons-one impetuous, one belligerent, and one quiet and handsome. The peaceful harmony of this family then becomes shattered when "flying machines from the East-Ocean people" shower the village with long strings of "explosive eggs." First there comes the horror of occupation by the bandy-legged (a favorite adjective used by Miss Buck to describe the enemy) Japanese militia followed by the even greater horror of life in occupied territory.
Miss Buck handles the story marvelously until the last quarter of the book when the plot seems to fizzle a little and fades away in an incongruous love intrigue between the youngest son, Lao San, and a Chinese girl who spent many of her years in the United States. In all, however, the book is well-written, true-to-life, and timely in appearance.

The fangs of forensic rivalry will flash again on the Wake Forest campus next Friday afternoon, when Bob Boldberg and Ralph Brumet, Southern debate champions, now inactive in speech circles, will seek to show Bruce Brown and Burnette·Harvey, present members of the college squad, that the old boys can still outtalk the "young upstarts," as Goldberg calls the newer debaters.
The two teams will· present an exhibition debate Friday afternoon in the church auditorium at 2:00 o'cloc.f for the benefit of those attending the Fourth Annual High School Speech and Debate Tournament here.
The topic for debate has not yet been decided, but it will be some timely and serious subject. The audience will act as judges for the clash, it was announced.

Though McMillan is personally far better known than 1
Patton, Patton is perhaps equally as well-liked by those who know him, and he has long been known by name as a top-ranking golfer.
Off-hand the preponderance of points would seem to stack up in McMillan's favor, principally because he has participated far more heavily in extra-curricular activi-J ties than has Patton. While Patton has limited his activities to his fraternity and the golf team, McMillan has been active in the BSU, of which he is state president, the International Relations Club, the Philomathesian literary society, the Glee Club, the church choir, the tennis team, and on the staffs of OLD GOLD AND BLACK and The Student, and has for two years been. an assistant in the Latin department. Because of these varied activities he stands in well with practically every element on the campus. However, it must not be forgotten that Patton has the backing of the fraternity political caucus and will probably swing the bulk of the athletic vote-two factors which may well throw the election in his favor.
A quick glance at the statistics and a rough guess would give McMillan the nod by 200 votes, but a close race could easily give the

First off, I want to scotch a rumor. It will be remembered that in last week's Old Gold and Black stQ_(Y on the Bond· Issue Boxing Match some prominence was given by the editor of this circular to the fact that he had challenged the author of this column to combat in one of the bouts on the Bond card. As this issue goes to press your columnist is the target of much calumny, opprobrium, malicious jest, because of the fact that the bout will not, after all, come off. The craven Georgia-Chinese who is responsible for this has not only refused the fight at the last minute, but is stabbing me in the back with a whispering campaign. (All right, it's mixed.) Here are the facts: (1) He did not challenge me. 1 challenged him. (2) He accepted only on the condition that I go three rounds without hitting. him. (3) Although he weighs twenty, pounds more than I do (most of it fat, admittedly)' he now both refuses to fight and to admit that he is the Indian-promiser. Sneer at him, good people, sneer at him.
* * * "' Next, I'd like to call attention to a rat of more
harmful habits. Wake Forest College has, as some of you know, a library. It is a pretty fair library as small-college libraries go, but college finances being what they are these days, library appropriations are hard to obtain. And books are hard to get. Last week, a class in advanced English had a midsemester test. On the reserve shelf reposed a book upon which the class, some thirty strong, had to depend as an auxiliary text. It was the only copy available. Sometime during the day, somebody, who had apparently been reared in one of our more primitive communities, applied his criminal intelligence to the task of clipping a section of twenty- · three pages from the exact center of the teXt' thereby not only completely obliterating any chanc; of studying the book for the test at hand, but rendering it absolutely useless to anybody forever. Stolen books are not outside the experience of our librarians, but this occurrence is, I believe, absolutely unique. It is our recommendation that if the offender is caught he should be expelled from the ·institution at once, first offense or no. There are no circumstances which we could think of which could possibly be regarded as extenuating.
• • * "' It is not my intention to usurp the functions of
Ed Wilson's scholarly column just because he is not in our midst this week, but I have a few recommendations, take 'em or leave 'em. Not often is a book recommended to me which is completely what the recommender claims it. This one was recommended by Dr. E. E. Folk and I just finished a second .reading: The Problem of Human Life, by Rudolph Eucken. It's philosophy, but don't let that scare you off. If you've got that dark-brown outlook, that beat-up feeling, this may help to straighten you. Also good: the F. H. Pritchard collection of The World's Best Essays, Ogden Nash's newest. and the new band of Shep Fields-particularly playing and singing "Breathless", which is destined, I'm sure, to be a major hit.
The thing which makes the stuff of some writers living matter on the page, while the words of other writers may be read without emotional investment of any sort, has always interested me. It interests me now. Perhaps it interests me particularly now because, for some years, I have· read little.
In spite of great masses of current writing, the past ten years have not seemed a time for writers. I know that the old humdrum business of writing has gone on, both here and abroad. The new lions of literature have arisen, have enjoyed their accolades in the book pages and ,at the literary clubs. The "foreign" correspondents have overrun the earth and have brought back much absorbing data. Th~ work of the cinema writers, and of the playwnghts, has been prolific.
. I hav~ not, somehow, found myself caught up m any of 1t. I readily acknowledge the great histories, the great biographies. Perhaps I should more honestly say that they have seemed great in the advertisements and in the reviews. The ones I read myself were not quite prodigious; but i shall not judge all others by these.
* * * But of writing as merely writing, the lowly,
clear, concise prose which might issue from the mouth of a friend pausing near your fence on a summer's night, or sitting before your winter fire the writing which can·ies us so easily out of. our~ selves that we are all but unaware of the movement-of this there has been not quite so much. Now strangely, perhaps, for it has never been a bumper crop.
I am reminded of this because, today, I picked up a magazine and found myself all at once experiencing some of the old pleasures of reading all over again. The writer who attracted me was a novelist, telling how the war had brought to him an end of his effort, at least for the present. He was a writer, he poin+ed out, who had enjoyed writing. It had never been work to him to write.
"For me," he said in effect, "there has come at tlfe very least, a time of pause. I have tried, but

On top of that Coach Murray's boys go down to Tarboro, N. C., to play Elmira of the Eastern League. _Now that's Class A ball, which means it's plenty fast. But the game ought to benefit the Deacon team a great deal. After they have lool\ed at that pitching, these Big Five hurlers ought not to seem so tough. It will be an interesting ball game, anyhow.

Baseball Now Big Sport on Wake Forest Campus
Baseball will take the limelight Tuesday afternoon on _Gore Field when the Demon Deacons play their first game of the 1942 season, meeting Cornell University, memb~r of the Eastern Intercollegiate League.
In the big Red team of Cornell the Deacons will meet stiff competition. l:'laying in the Eastern .intercollegiate League, which includes such teams as Yale, Harvard, Princeton and Dartmouth, Cornell took the runnerup position last year. ·
Though their game with the Deacons was rained out last season, the Big Red team handed both Duke and Carolina setbacks, losing to State College in the third game played against Big Five competition.
Switch Outfielders
Just how the Deacons will line up in Tuesday's game will not be known until game time. But in practices' so far this season Coach Greason has stuck pretty close to the same infield. Bob Reid has been on first, Primm· at second, John Fletcher at short, and Polanski at the hot corner. However, the Deacon coach will probably stick to his policy of switching his outfield against left and right handed pitchers. Against southpaw pitching Cole will probably be in left field, Cochran in center, and Whitener in right. But when a righthander is on the . mound, Vivian may move into one of the outfield posts in order to have another left hand hitter in the lineup.
Harold Hawkins will more than likely be behind the plate when game time rolls around. Coach Greason will probably use three pitchers, each going three innings. The three hurlers will be taken from the staff which includes Jake Pierce, Lefty Vivian, Jesse Tharnish, Charlie Ripple, Chuck Fineberg and John Conley.
After Tuesday's game the Deacons will not play again until they meet N. C. State in Raleigh on Easter Monday.

Frosh Team Takes· s·hape
Tony Gallovich Is Head Coach For Frosh Baseballers
Under the direction of Coach Tony Galloyich, shortstop on last year's Deacon varsity, Wake Forest's freslunan baseball team is rapidly rounding into shape. Batting practice and infield drills
have dominated the first · two weeks of practice, and prospects for the year look good.
No definite team has been selected as yet, but several players have shown up better than others., In the infield. Russ Perry and Bruce Campbell are battling for the first-base job, Don Herring and Mike Thompson for second, Bob McLean and George Tobey for short, and Claude Josey and Russ Batchelor for third. Outfield candidates who have shown up well are Walter Shedlock, Johnny O'Brien, Harry Clark, and Garland Little. Frank Pruette· is getting little competition for the catching position. The pitching staff is headed by Charlie Green and J. C. Fesperman.
Although no schedule has been released as yet, it is probable that the frosh ~ine will play at least six games tl:iis season. Two games each with Duke, State, and Carolina ~ill probably be played.
