A total of fifty- two students, thirty six of whom were majors, were present. peoi/ge Ropp was elected presi- •V'M; Beter Price, vice-presu .SWent; Dorothy Brigman, secretary; and B. C. Moss, reporter. The following tentative objectives were established: 1. To promote a closer professional relationship among students on the Western Carolina Teachers College campus who are vitally interested in the field of physical education and health education. 2. To establish better public relations between the physical education department students and the Western Carolina Constituency. 3. To seek out and take advantage of all opportunities on the campus and in the Cullowhee neighborhood for practical experience. 4. To work toward the raising of standards and "spirit de corps." The club is considering the possibility of affiliating with a national professional physical education organization. Next quarter, In line with the policy prescribed by leading educators in the country, ail 100b and 200 physical education stu- uents will be scheduled in class. es so that better teaching of skills achieved. All 300b P. E. students will carry a P. E. form which they will fill out aa they carry out their activil l" ' studt velop skll . Id ... activities. Ihe 300b students who have developed skill to a certain standard will be allowed to follow activities they wish. By all non-credit students being charged a fifty cent fee, the Physical Education Department is able to provide much in the way of equipment which otherwise could not be made available. The fee, of course, does not begin to pay for the materials and supplies which are used, but by supplementing other money that is available to the Physical Education Department, it makes possible a broader program. The time when sweat suits, towels, laundry, soap, and other accessories can be furnished is being looked forward to by the entire staff of the Physical Education Department. The Physical Education Department hopes to put wrestling on an inter-collegiate basis im. mediately. The wrestling squad will be starting with the best mats and mat-covers the P. E. Department can buy. They plan to invite here some of the best wrestling teams in the country, among which will be the State and Out-of-State Colleges and Y. M. C. A. teams. Several meets, subject to the athletic committee's approval, have been tentatively scheduled; the first will probably be in January. Judging by the skill the wrestlers now show a fairly good beginning team is expected. There is, however, still plenty of room for additional contestants and it is hoped that at least fifty boys will come out for the squad before the first meet. Mrs. M. K. Hinds has announced the "Honor Roll" in housekeeping for the boys of Madison Hall for the fall quarter. All girls with "interests" m this dormitory should be interested in knowing which boys are inclined to hang up their own clothes and pick up their wet towels off the bathroom floor.

Atlamto, C Training School Has R. C. A. Sound System The R. C. A. Sound System that is installed in the Training School is one of the most modern of the educational facilities on the campus. This system is proving valuable in all phases of educational work. With a complete control cabinet and a loud speaker in each room, the entire school can be reached at a moment's notice by the principal or director, who merely speaks from the control cabinet. A loud speaker is located in the library as well as in the audio-visual room, the cafeteria, the farm and industrial shop, and the public school music room. Each room can be addressed as a group or individually. The sound apparatus is also equipped with a public address system. Vs ;v^ radi. -.■..nit; before a:, aa! microphone. These progi«uus can also be broadcast in all the rooms, or in only a few of them, as the operator at the control cabinet desires. The sound system is also equipped with an electric automatic phonograph. This phonograph operates itself, even to the point of omitting a record that is not meant to be played. The phonograph is powerful enough to transmit the sound of the records to the football field, if a loud speaker were installed on the field. The new Training School Building is also equipped with an electric time clock which has four circuits. All the signals of Basketball Free Throw Harold Collins of the Second Floor won the basketball free throw contest by the score of 38 out of 50 tries. Ralph Gurley was second with 36 throws out of 50 tries. Boys who entered the free throw contest were: Harold Collins, Bob Andrews, George Ropp, Leo Cowan, Garland Adams, Ennis Lish, J. Nes- bitt, Tommy Allison, Mack Fore, Bob Wright, Herbert Howard, Ralph Gurley, Claude Jamison, George Walker, John Henry Gesser, Lynwood McElroy, Burl Maney and Mai Wall. Mr. Fred Forester was host to the B. S. U. Council at dinner in the basement of the Baptist Church, Thanksgiving evening, Thursday, November 28. After the meal, Miss Kathleen Davis, Pauline Wright, T, J. Thomason, and Bill Troutman presented some musical numbers. Mr. D. B. Nicholson, State Baptist Student Union Secretary pf Georgia, who had been visiting on the campus during the preceding week, was in ge of the worship service. Immediately following the de- .votional period the B. S. U. Council held its weekly business meeting, during which it was decided that members of the college, faculty, and students will be invited to attend the Council meetings, which have not been open to the public before. This idea was encouraged by Mr. Nicholson who says he has seen the plan work beautifully at the University of Georgia where his headquarters are located. Strange as it may seem, the first quarter of this year is almost gone and students on the campus are wondering what became of the time. Some of it was probably spent in studying, but a great deal of it was spent in some other way. Now, sad to say, final exams are coming up and no one is exactly prepared. If only that wasted time had been spent in preparation for exams, there would be no worries now. But that is all in the past and it does no good to lament now. How nice it will be to get off the campus for two whole weeks! Everyone is making plans for that short stay at home or elsewhere; anyway a lot of fun is planned. Won't it be nice torn and Dad and the ■•nd i' n moil.. ug as you v\ ish. vo trudging to an eight o'clock class, no assignments to prepare and no tests to dread. Gee, how we wish it were time for the last class now, before the holidays. exchange them for winter ones. The girls rushed through breakfast and sped upstairs so they could get down first and receive a blanket while they lasted. It seems that Frankie Collins was one of the first girls downstairs. "Lib" Gahagan pulled the blanket off her bed and carried it into the bathroom to wash out an ink spot when she heard the good news. Many girls even had to dig down into their trunks to find their blankets. When the blanket laden girls faced Miss Davis and learned that the whole thing was a prank and that they were to receive no blankets for winter, their smiles changed to frowns but they soon saw the joke and came up the stairs laughing at their own stupidity at "biting". However, the prankster had better watch her step next time and not get caught by Miss Davis. REPAIR AND SAVE MONEY I —: Quick Service :— CULLOWHEE SHOE SHOP Cullowhee, N. C.
