Wake Forest's most severe snowstorm in ~teen years left U. S. Highway No. 1 covered· with over , a foot of snow. Shown above is a view looking toward the campl..ls early Sunday morning. Only a few
cars had ¥ehtured through the town at that time and students were using the ruts on South Main Street as patil..s. (Staff photo by Dick Harris.) ,
'Worse Snowstorm lTJ Fifteen Years Blanket Wake Ca_mpus
.. College Continues Normal
Operations Despite· Rough Weather
The worst snowsto~m in fifteen years swept through Wake Forest Saturday and early Sunday morning and left about thirteen inches of snow in its wake, the culmination of a week of intermittent blasts of sleet which turned evecy street and sidewalk into an icy trap for the unwary.
Despite the sriow which turned the campus into a white and wintry landscape the college continued normal operations and everyone appeared to take the snow in stride.
Class attendance was almost normal although a few students were caught at home and were unal;>le to make it back for class-es Monday. ·
By Monday afternoon, however, the roads were cleared sufficiently for the Greyhound buses to again resume operation though it was nearly impossible for them to maintain schedule.
Sunday was· turned into one gi_gantic holiday as everyone donned their boots, mufflers, and stocking caps to dash madly into the snow. The air was seen filled with flying snowballs as roving bands of students made contact with each other. The roof of the Delta Sig house was turned into a fortress and passerbys we~e forced to slip and slide their way past in a rain of missles.
Sculptors Jlusy Wake Forest's erstwhile sculp-
... tors had a field day as legions of snowmen made their appearance. Some were of the massive late forty t~e while other masterpieces of snow and ice mi~ht be classed as the early twenties type. A particularly intriguing piece of craftsmanship of the latter type and one that attracted much interest was to be found in front of Wait Hall near the Well.
Wake Forest's few sleds were hauled down from the attics and pressed into service on the streets of the town and on the slopes of the golf course.
There were many unlocked-for tumbles on the ice and hard packed snow as o~ of Wake Forest's professors will testify. Professor Thane McDonald, after fighting through the drifts in an effort to get up town Sunday, tried to go down the ice covered steps which lead to the railroad tracks. Grasp-

Founders Day On Tuesday of this week the I 14th anni
versary of the founding of Wake Forest Col
lege quietly slipped by, unnoticed amidst the
foot of snow that covered the campus. . ' Wake Forest Institute opened its doors on
February 3, 1834, with Dr. Samuel Wait as prin
cipal. Enrolled were 16 pupils. In 1838 the
school was rechartered as Wake Forest College.
• From a beginning that was insignificant
Wake Forest has grown to its present size and
established itself a commendable record as a Christian focal point.
Week will get much radio time, student dramatists will be encouraged to write and act, church services can be broadcast, and it will enable many people to get valuable training. Urgent news of college affairs will ~ave an immediate outlet, and the recreational possibilities of the station will be invaluable.
OLD GOLD AND BLACK appeals to the student body at large to support this venture. Come by and talk with the manager. Perhaps there is some place for you on his staff. ~
We appeal to the administration to guarantee to the boys a suitable spot for a studio. Perhaps in the future, until WAKE is operating on a paying basis, some financial support can be given.
At present everyone has an opportunity to contribute money. The student council has authorized the Publications Board to accept contribution~ toward defraying the initial expenses. Checks may be made payable to Radio Station WAKE, and money will be accepted in the newspaper office. A strict accounting will be made of all funds, and the amount collected will be publicized with how it is spent.
Do your part! The expenditure in money, and worry will not be wasted.
Mahatma Ghandi
time,
It would be both futile a"nd foolish for this
column to try to say with authority exactly what
the death of Gandhi will mean to Inrua and to the world, politically.
But, as important as the political implication of Gandhi's death · may turn . out to be, fully as important is the light shed by his death up.on the man himself and upon the spiritual power he wielded. Probably no religious leader who has ever lived had-during hJs lifetimeso much prestige or so captured the imagination of the world as did Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi. Living as he did in the age ,of rapid and universal communication among human beings, the story of his life and his ·philosophy early spread around the world. '
In 1894 the School of Law was added, and
the addition of the School of Medicine came in
1902. Over the 114 years Wake Forest has in
structed over 30,000 students. Of that number
3000 have become ministers, 1500 lawyers, 1000 And the man himself was a spiritual dynamo-George Bernard Shaw said after meeting doctors, and many more have become teachers, him: "That is not a man, that is a phenomenon,"

Call Letters WAKE OLD GOLD AND BLACK has often con
sidered the feasibility of advocating the establishment here of a radio station. It has always seemed so definitely out of the question, however, that we cast the idea aside as being something a little too Utopian, at least for the time being.
This week events have happened which make initiative on our part no longer necessary. Two enterprising students have come up with all the ideas and most of the equipment for the enterprise. OLD GOLD extends its congratulations to Henry Randall and AI Parris for having taken~so much responsibility on themselves.
Everyone must realize that these two boys cannot handle this job by themselves. They need help, lots of it. They need engineers, script writers, sportscasters, announcers, and talent. They require the cooperation of all the student body, the faculty, and the administration. An undertaking of this sort is important to a modern campus and its newspaper, its magazine, or its yearbook, and it will entail twice as much work because it is an activity which will eventually be m operation seven days every
week. The benefits of a radio station to the cam
pus and community cannot be overestimated. It will not be merely for amusement. Through it will pour educational programs, sports, and news. Exercises such as the current Focus
Gandhi's death could not have been better planned had a master dramatist with a demonic sense of the theatre worked along the arrangements for it. He was walking to prayer in the cool of the day-the man who had for so many years striven to give spiritual unity and free-' dom to his country. And he was shot by a feilow Hindu-the man who had labored so long for the outcast killed by a man who had been born of Brahmin parents.
These are the opening words. of an Associated Press dispatch sent from New Delhi on Sunday last: "Prime Minister P8.ndit J awaharbal Nehru laid roses and jasmine beside the funeral pyre of the slain Mohanda~. K. Gandhi in a final tribute before the as1nes are consigned tomorrow to the Jumna River, whose waters the Hindus consider holy.
"Tears streamed down Pa)ldit Nehru's face as he placed the floral trib ute beside the ashes of the man who once decla·red Pandit Nehru his spiritual heir.
"'Bapuji (an affec~ionate term: father), here are flowers,' said Pf~ndit Nehru. 'Today, at least, I have your bones and ashes to. offer them. Where will I offer them tomorrow, and to whom?'
' "Pandit Nehru c.ould not remain long at the funeral grounds n.ear the jumna. He asked relatives, to stay on, saying, 'Let me not create a scene here again. Let me· go home'."
Gandhi is gone, of whom it was said: "He gave pride and character to a cringingr demoralized people."

B~S.U. Notes
According . to the signs around the campus, articles in this paper, and other media of communication with the student, there is to be a dance held this month, which will jointly commemorate Valentine Day and the establishing of the Lonely Hearts Club. . .
From all the information to be had, this club had as its purpose · the election of the most All-A merican, red-blooded, . vivacious male and the most succulent, sloe eyed,, sizzling female on the cam pus. They will be called the king and queen oL Wake Forest. They will represent the epitome of youthful beauty on the Wake For est cqmpus.
Calvin Staley, past president of ~ D Marc Lovelace of othe De-Delta Omega, who has returned r.
This is a paradox. There are discrepancies.. Why should the best looking boy and girl be elect ed for a Lonely Hearts club? Are their hearts the loneliest? Certain ly not. Does the best looking boy on the 'campus have pimples and halitosis? Nay. Do. the jills get the chills when they are forced to look upon him? We think ndt Is he forced to retreat within him self and curse the fates who have played havoc with his features? It is to laugq.

ASk not if it is true. Do the male casanovas cut their noon classes in order to eat with hez:? Rather ai~ · th"ey signing up for noon classes and demanding evening classes so they ca~ eat at another time and digest their food.

METHODIST CLUB ELECTS OFFICERS
George E. Mallonee, junior from Winston-Salem, was recent 1 y elected president of the Methodist Student Fellowship of Wake Forest College. Other officers include the following: Dave Clarke, vice president; Iris Hobgood, secretary; David Goodman, treasurer; Orville Robinson, publicity chairman.
At the Sunday night meeting in the Recreation Room of the Religion Building, Mrs. Edgar Hillman presented an interesting talk to the students.
A delegation, headed by George Mallonee, and Lib Gill, past president of the organization, will attend the Methodist Student Convention meeting in Winston-Salem this weekend. Other delegates to the convention include: Orville Robinson, Graham Thomas, Dave Clarke, George Wilson.

Since it is to be presumed that the coming election will be a democratic one, the ·student has the privilege of writing in a vote if he or she does not approve of those candidates nominated. This column does not attempt to influence the student one way or the other. It is easy to see, however, that the above mentioneci are pretty lonely people.

inch white coating is what ·~reeted him in his winter here at Wake Forest.
The hard sleet and snow storm during the weekend left :Wake Forest blanketed with a 12-inch white coating on Mo,nday morning. To Professors William C. Soule of the Law School Faculty and Elton C. Cooke of the Biology Department the problem of transportation became one of major consequence.
Prof._ Soule lives on the Wall flirm. about three miles from the campus and the .dirt road leading to bis horne is impassable in extremely. bad weather. Since no one had been' over the road during the weekend there was no path of any kind from his harpe r to the No. 1 highway going north to. Henderson. The young· law school professor hadr- visions of sinking knee deep in snow and slush or slipping and falling every time he took a step so he decided to do something about it.
Since there are a lot of mules on the Wall farm, Pi-of. Soule decided to get a free ride on one of them.. He threw a blanket over a mule, hopped on his back, and headed for the law building. Heavily garbed in a varied assortment of warm GI clothing which included a set of fatigues, a fi~ld
~jacket, Army shoes and a musette bag, he resembled a ci;rcuit rider on his regular rounds when he arrived here. The three rirlle trip took exactly one hour and he arvrived just' in time for his classes. He's been doing it every day this week and getting along famously. He leaves about 4 in the afternoon on the return trip home so he can make it before dark.
Dr. Cocke had a little different ,:. problem of transportation but he. showed equally .ingenuity in coping with it. Lame .in both legs as the result of infantile paralysis when he was in his teens, the biology professor · experie:tfed great difficulty in keeping his footing on the slippery snow and ice. He didn't relish the thought of battling the elements to and from classes every day so he conceived the idea of eating, sleeping and teaching in the same building. With' the help of his family he moved into a: biology building. His equipment includes a cot, bedding, a hot plate, a skillet, a percolator, groceries, shaving utensils, a daily newspaper and his dog, Chipper. ~
Both professors vow they won't change their . unorthodox tactics for the duration-until the snow and ice melt and things become normal again. There's a certain bit.of irony to this story•for Prof.
·Soule. Last year he taught at the University of Michigan and the man reason he left was to get away from the snow and cold

Coach Greason's number one cagers, Jim Patton, the team might not have done nearly so well as it has this season~ Patton came to Wake Forest from Asheville where he starred for Swannanoa High School, and was selected on the Asheville all-medal mythical five for two consecutive years. ..' Formerly a forward, C9ach Greason found it necessary to shift Patton to the starting ·'gUard position b~cause of his fine defensive playing. His .sharp eye should not be overlooked, however for he has been high scorer i~ two of the Deacon's games Jim Patton, Asheville sophothis fall, despite his arm injury mOJ:e; . who is seeing ·his second received earlier in the season.

While serving in the Navy, Jim hustled for· -the basketeers of Camp Peary, Virginia. After his discharge he enrolled at Wake Forest to further his ambitions to become an athletic· director or coach at some institution.
Jim is one of six brothers who are all just as good loopmen as he. The Patton brothers, Sam, Harold, Woodrow,. Hube:rt, Ray and Jim, are. well known around the hills of Asheville and have defeated all comers on the hardwood. There most recent victims were the Hardly brothers of WinstonSalem, who fell oefore therri during the Christmas holidays 54-33. Jim is the smallest of the six brothers but still towers a good six foot 2 and weighs 186 pounds.
Surprising as it may seem, Jim says baseball and not basketball is his favorite sport and plans to try out for the Deacon Diamond Crew when practice gets underway this spring.

W olfpack Paces Circuit Chase
The two Southern Conference leaders tossed their perfect record in the ring last Tuesday night at Memorial Auditorium and a capacity crowd saw N. C. State completely, outclass Ca.rolina to gain the top berth in Conference play. Prior to the game, the White Phantoms of Carolina were leading the race with seven league wins 'in as .many starts, and the W olfpack of N. C. State were close bel1ind with five wins and no defeats. However, the race is far from over as State, Carolina and George Washington are still fighting for ·the coveted position among southern cagers.
Coach Murray Greason's Deacons dropped to a tie for tenth place with The Citadel by virtue of their loss to State last week. The Deacons have a record of three wins and four losses in Conference play and still have a fightip.g chance to gain a berth in t9urnament play. The locftl cagers must win four of their next five league games to finish in the top eight.
Duke, South Carolina, Richmond and William and Mary are still making their bid for the tournament and will be forced to battle right down to the finish. Dulte and Wake Forest have not met thus' far in the season and the going will be tough when Jerry Gerard brings his Blue Devils to Baptist hollow. The Dukes meet the Tar .Heels tonight at Chapel Hill for jheir first encounter of the season.

Monogram Crew Bows To· State
~
The Deacon Monogram Club basketball team dropped its second game of the season last Friday night to the Monogram Clubmen of neighboring State College by the close score of 50-46.
Everyone in attendance at the high school gymnasium was provided with plenty ·of action, although it was more of a gridir'on nature. What the boys lacked in fines1! was more than compensated by their willingness to get and keep possession of the ball by whatever means possible.
The Deacs jumped into an early lead with Forward Art Hoch; Guard Carl Haggard, and Forward Russ Batchelor providing the greater portion· of the points. The W olfpack put on a second quarter rally that tied 'the score at 17-17 at intermission, which was the main cause for the intense action in the second half.
With a little more than five minutes remaining, the Wolfpack · featured another rally that brought them from behind a five point deficit to win the contest. The W olfpack garnered a total of 14 points duting tile last five minutes of play while the Deacs registered only "five ..
Guard Footsie Palmer and Forward Ogden Smith led the scoring parade for the visiting team while Guard Carl Haggard and Forw~d Russ· Batchelor were·top men for the Deacons with 10 and nine points · respectively. Nick "Jacobs Blocklng Trophy" Ognovicl?. played his usual game. (Rough!)·

Wake Forest College sends its -basketball team against an aggregation from ·the 82nd Airborne Division of Fort Bragg tonight in ·a non-conference test that should prove to be fairly close. Game
,time is 8: 00 o'clock in Gore Gym-nasium. ·
. p
Although they were defeated by the Deacons earlier in the season by a 70-61 score, the· Airborne club has a capable quintet that is sparked by several former col:. lege performe:cs.

With nothing, as far as the Southern Conference race is concerned, at st~e, \ tonight's rumpus should prove to be merely a warni-up.for the acid test coming up with Duke on Tuesday night. However, despite· the fact that nothing except the game itself will particularly matter tonight, the boys from· Baptist Hollow could come up with one of their best garries of the season-simply because no one will be telling them that they have to take this one.

Deacons Ne·ed Split· With D~ke
Methodists Seen. as Much Weaker than 1947
Quintet
In a ga~e that co.uld easily decide whether Duke or the Demon Deacons will make a coveted spot in the Southern Conference Tourney come March 1, Murray Greason's charges chall~nge Duke's soso Blue Devils in Duke Gym on Tuesday night. A Jay Ve!i! contest between the two schoOls will begin at 6:20' before the main event at 8:00.
With both the Deacons and the Devils fighting desperately for a spot in the season's · big finale at Durham, Tuesday's battle ought to provide plenty of spirited, aggressive action. Both teams have played seven conference games to date, the Dukes having taken :five o:f theirs, . while the· Deacs have been able to garner but tiwee wins. But the Blue Devils have to face· Carolina's undefeat-
, ed (as of Monday) Tar Heels tomorrow night before they can look forward to climbing into the court square with the Baptists; and thus their record must, change· for better or for worse before Tues-' day's fray.
Looking at the record of Murray Greason's charges, it seems that they could hand the boys in blue at least one licking this winter. If they want to be on hand ,those three big days in March, two wins over Gerry Gerard's chm·ges would practically assure them of a .500 record or better· whether they make the big show or not. That s~cond Duke fracas comes up on February 24 in Durham. The above assumption of two victories over the Durham boys to bring about a .500 or better record for the season is based on the possibility of wins by the Deacs over South Carolina, Clemson, and The Citadel; and. losses to North Carolina, anci North .Carolina State. •. Duke, though not regarded as any big threat in the conference this season as · has been the case in former years, has an able, but young quintet that is capable- on occasions of giving most any club in the circuit a run for its money. Led by a big sophomore, Ben Collins, who, incidentally, is . the only repeating starter from last year on the squad, the Methodists have gained verdicts over Maryland, Virginia, South Carolina, Clemson, and Washington arid Lee; losses within the loop came at the hands of Davidson and George Washington.
Rounding out the starting lineup, along with Collins, are Doug Ausbon, Wes Skipstead, ·football <!efensive star Tommy Hughes, and Carren .Youmans. With the exception of Ausbon, who cavorted last year with the Devils, these boys are youngsters playing their first year at Methodist Flats. It goes without saying that Gerard will miss such stalwarts as Ed Kaffenberger and Bubber Seward.
As for the' starting line-up for Wake Forest, Coach Greason is likely, by Tuesday to come up with any number of starting combines. But the boys seeing the most action will probably be these eight: Deran Walters Jack Gentry, "Red" O'Quinn, 'Jim Patton, Jack lY.[ueller, Stan Najeway, Walt Schlosser, and Willard Kaylor.
BOWLING ELECTED GRAND ALCHEMIST
Dick Bowling was elected Grand Alchemist of Gamma Sigina Epsilon, chemical fraternity, at the meeting held last Tuesday evening. Other ~ew officers elected for the coming year include Mildred Morton, Recorder; C. E. Paul,' Visor; and, Rice Quisenberry, keeper of the Kult. ·
AH, VICTORY! Trailing .. with eight min

Co-eds CavoPt In Cag~e Combat
By Harriet Smith
Sounds of fe~iiiine voices float from the gym that once exhaled only the vapors of_ Old Spice and echoed none but masculine shouting. Wl)ite gym suits are almost as plentiful on the court as the Old· Gold and-Black of the boys' uniforms. Basketball, it seems, belongs not to man alone, but to woman as well.
Divided into teams of six with four teams in each class, .the girls have begun a "round-robin" tournament. under, the leadership of their instructor, :Jl.~iss Crisp.
:After the election of captains, the teams chose names for themselves. Everyone was determined to give the names selected for the fraternity tag-footlc>all teams some' real competition as far as' cleverness is' concerned.
Coming up from the "muddle," the captains notified Miss Crisp of their teams' names. A few brainchildren are worthy of note: Holy Terrors, Meat Balls (they're ~gging for substitutes,· to be known as .Spaghetti), and the Snappy Six. Two teams are namesakes of their captains: Boone's Boomerangs and Angel's Devils.
Though girls' basketball at Wake Forest is a new idea and the participants are, as a whole, unexperienced, Miss Crisp has every reason to expect some fine players to emerge from the classes. However, the Physical Education majors who serve as referees for these "scrimmages" are prone to shake their heads and change to pre-med courses in self defense.
Following the election, Past Grand Alchemist Charles Beaver appointed a committee to plan an installation b~nquet at Wooten's Hometel in the immediate future. The fraternity also made plans to award a scholarship cup to the freshman obtaining the highest scholastic average in chemistry for the 1947-48 teym.
Retiring officers of the fraternity are: Charles Beaver, Grand Alchemist; Dick Bowling, Visor; Jim Howerin,. Recorder; and Bill Pennell, Keeper of the Kult.

If, under tl'le Focus week plan of classroom visitations and nightly s~minars, you participated in a time~y discussion conducted by a pert and . well-dressed young woman, you have ·already met Miss Marjorie :Moore.
No stranger to our campus and classrooms, Miss Moore was a Focus Week speaker in 1945. She was interested upon returning, she said, to find the student body, not only tripled in size; ·but a1so a little more aware of what the world is undergoing. . The war seems to have been responsible for the removal of traces of isolationism regrettably 'found among the students in former days.
If, h~"{ever, yours has not,-been the pleasure of associating with this alert native of that region immediately south of the Old North State, you must be enlightened.
Miss Moore's educational background is enough to make any Wake Forest student realize that four years is a comparatively short period of study. Having received 'her B. A. degree from Converse College, Miss Moore proceeded to the Woman's Missionary Union Training School at Louisville, Kentucky. Upon completing her training there, still uncertain about her future, she
.-----------accepted a position with a magazine and is still at the publishing bus,iness. Now MiJ.naging ·Editor of "The Commisston," published by the Baptist Foreign Mission Board·, she has completed three summer sessions at Medill School of Journalism, Northwestern University, and plans to attend a fourth. ·
In addition to her diversified education', Miss Moore's versatility includes photography. A capable hand at manipulating the shutter, she also does her own developing, and will realize a twofold purpose on our campus, for she is on an assignment to do a picture story on Focus Week for "The Baptist Student."
Dr. Parrot, Director' of the tournament, is one of the three men who choose contestants for the National Intercollegiate Debate Tournament which was held ·last year at West Point. This makes the tournament doubly important to all contestants.
A debate was held Thursday evening at the regular meeting of I the Wake Forest debate squad. Bob Croucn and Lamar Caudle

The State Advised By Editor '
To Buy W. F. College Prope~ty
Editorial Gives Reasons For Buying W•ake
Forest Plant
Louis Graves, editor of the Chapel Hill Weekly, last week in an editorial advocated the purchase of the Wake Forest College property by the state of North Car~ olin a.
In introducing his proposal, Graves explained that the state, already in dire need of more educational facilities, would in years to come be faced with a
. probable increase in the number of students desiring to attend one of their institutions.
Folk To Conduct Editors' Session
Dr. Edgar E. Folk of Wake Forest College, J. R. Scales of Oklahoma Baptist University, and Frank E. Burkhalter of Baylor University will conduct the annual mid-winter meeting of Southern Baptist editors at Biloxi, Miss., February 12-13.
These three representatives have made a three-months' study of publications represented in membership of the association, and they will report their findings to the convention in Biloxi. The program will feature discussions by the three journalism professors.
COEDS A "Know Your Neighbor"
party sponsored by the Woman's Government Association is scheduled for 8: 00 p. m. Wednesday, February 11, in the Recreation Room of the Religion Building. All coeds are invited to attend. A prize is offered to :the girl who can identify the largest number of coeds.
ed with snowballs and rebel yells. Every car that passed got a dose of snow and some poor souls with their windows down received more than their share. One sleek black Cad1llac screeched to a halt and a grayhaired, mother!;~~ lady alighted and in language not so motherly told them exactly what was on her mind. Police Chief Tom Jones soon took a hand, however.
One professor made the trip to
class on a mule, making the one mile journey in one hour. Another ardent professor moved up to the Johnson Building and spent the night there to be sure to be on hand for Monday's classes.

"The state," he said, "whote surplus, already large, is swelled every month by revenue collections that are running far above the estimates, coultl make no better use of this surplus than to put part of it-and only a part would be needed-into the purchase of the Wake Forest College property."
Representatives from twentysix states will arrive in Biloxi for the convention. Dr. Folk will have charge of the opening session with the other professors conducting the two following sessions.
'' Chesterfield is my -cigarette- it's Mild and pleasing'' Trustees of Wake Forest have
offered the college property to the Southern Baptist Convention for use as a theological seminary, but Graves pointed out that the Southern Baptists already have three theological seminaries at Louisville, New Orleans and Fort Worth, and that the sale of the property to the State would be more advantageous to all parties concerned.
Graves made no specific recommendations as to how the state might use the property, but he added that it could be used as another liberal arts college, an adjynct to State College,. a junior ~llege or a vocat,tonal school

and informing students. Randall appeared before the board, explained his idea once again, and got support for the venture.
Students and faculty members alike have expressed approval of the project and are anxious for the new station to go on the air. Randall and Parris will serve as managers of the station but they will need the assistance- of a number of other students. They particularly need trained men to serve as engineers since IBS regulations require that an engineer be on duty at all times during broadcasting hours.
Sports announcers, newscasters, staff announcers, and continuity writers are also needed to complete the broadcasting staff. Randall and Parris are interested in talking with students who have
.. had experience in radio or would be interested in helping with the new station or with students who
Dr. Folk will leave Wake Forest Tuesday night. He will 1·eturn after the final session on Friday.
This marks the second meeting that Dr. Folk has attended this year, having attended the fiveday session at Ridgecrest in August. At this time the Baptist magazines, such as Sunday School quarterlies and other publications of magazine type, were discussed.

Religious Focus Week was well under way despite the .ice and snow. A spokesman for the committee reported that attendance at the meetings was fulfilling all expectations and that with the arrival of Rev. J. A. Neilson on Tuesday the group of guest speakers was complete.
Monday's warmth and sunshine brought no peace to the superstitious. The groundhog came up for its annual midwinter view of conditions, saw his shadow, and instantly fled back to his hole.
Yankee tourists passing through Wake Forest probably thought they had found a remnant of Lee's forces that hadn't surrendered.
Lying in wait for the unsuspecting motorists were some thirty students along fraternity row arm-
