INTEREST AROUSED The general student election was held May 5, at which time the President of the Student Council was hotly contested all the way. The speeches of the various campaign managers which were held on Monday preceding the election, together with the remarks of the various candidates served as a great stimulus to the already enlivened contest. Three candidates were in the running for this office. They were: William Andrew Alexander, '37, of Lynchburg, Va., the victor and new president, Mary Magdalene Ward '37, of Farmville. Va., and Isaac Ellis Johnson '37 of Laurinburg, N. C. The campaign managers exercised all their influence and ingenuity in making the contest as lively and as interesting as possible. They were as follows: J. Cirt Gill, '37, for Mr; Alexander; Lannis Turner, '38, for Miss Ward, and T. L. Jones, '36 for Mr. Johnson. History was in the making in this contest as it is the first time in the history of the institution that one of the young women of the college has run for this office. Ruth E. Williams, '38, was the victor over four other candiates, the others being, Izora M. Jones, '38, Norlina, N. C; Inez T. Young, '37, Philadelphia, Pa.; Beatrice C. Jones, '37, Henderson, N. C. and Elsie M. Albright, '38, Burlington, N. C. These contestants were also presented in chapel by their various managers, who in this case were as follows: J. C.

ANNUAL WEEK OF PRAYER CONDUCTED Dr. B. E. Mays of Howard University, Speaker. Audience Thrilled. Concludes With Vesper. The annual week of prayer was conducted here during the week of March 24, at which time Dr. Benjamin E. Mays, Ph.D., dean of the School of Religion at Howard University was the speaker. The services were sponsored by the Religious Council with Dean Viola L. F. Chaplain, Religious Advisor. Services were conducted each day at noon and at 7:00 o'clock p. m. each day. The central theme of Dr. May's series of lectures was, "What Is Involved In A Christian Philosophy Of Life?" He stressed such points as "What Constitutes a Christian Philosophy of Life?" "What are the ear marks of a person who has a Christian Philosophy of life?" Much of his discourse dealt along the subject of sin as to what it is and how it acts. "Sin cuts deeper than crime," he stated, "which is an offense against the law and immorality, against society and against God." Dr. Mays related several evils from which the Christian needs to be saved. "We need to be saved from a depraved mind; it is a good thing to keep alive that little spark of celestial fire that we call conscience. We need to be saved from mediocrity, saved from the death that accompanies satisfaction. This is true not only in the area of intellect, but in the moral and spir Commencement Program FRIDAY, MAY 29 8:15 P. M.—Annual Musical Choral Society SATURDAY, MAY 30 3:00 P.

We need to be saved from the inability to live up to the best we know how. Of all the sins, the greatest is to know the truth and not be able to feel it; to see the light and not be able to follow it. We need to be saved from disillusionment. You would be forced to subscribe to the economic system of the world instead of the moral codes that have been set before you in college. At such times you need all of the light of moral courage. We need to be saved from self righteousness. "I believe in the democracy of God," he said. The services for the week were concluded in the form of vesper services. Dr. Mays thrilled the crowded gymnasium as he summarized and concluded this series of lprtnTpo hr^prl ! i. th< theme: "What is involved in the Christian philosophy of life?" "This should involve a wholesome and adequate conception of sin, and should also involve wholesome and adequate conception of salvation," he concluded. Winter Quarter Honor Roll Announced William J.
