Student body elections are scheduled for the last week in ApriL With this In mind, no doubt. the political "behind the scenes men are going into action.

It is still much too early to know defin itely, or at least FRANK to see for cer tain, the candidates as yet. But no doubt this too will be forth-comins in the near future. The Student Council has been considering action concerning amendment of the Constitution of the Student Government As sociation and this could have definite bearing on the forth coming elections. If there is any opposition to the proposed amendments, the lines will be drawn for a con troversy which probably would last on through the student gov ernment elections. However, little opposition is expected since the amendments would au be of a beneficial nature to the majority of the student body At any rate the political lines are definitely drawing up ana open campaigning will begin very soon.

Chapel last Thursday and Fri day was an unusual experience for those who attended. The program was under the direction of the fine arts division and specifically the Art Department. The program, under the direction of A. L. Allen, was entitled "Sight and Sound," and con sisted of slides of art master pieces as well as photographs of scenes of various points over the country.

The slides were correlated with music in high fidelity. The unusual facet of the program was that not a word of an- ouncement was made at the beginning nor throughout. The audience simply assembled and the music and slides began. The affect was varied and unusual and was immensely enjoyed. Tryouts have been held and practice has begun for the spring play at Union.

The play is 'Life With Father," a hilar ious comedy. It is scheduled for production in about two weeks The Union Golf team is get ting in the full swing of the season with the advent of spring The team has scheduled this year nine matches and two tournaments. The first match will be on April 3 with Illinois Wesleyan at Jackson Golf and Country Club, where all the home matches will be played. The two tournaments are the TIAC on April 28 and 29 at Nash ville, and VSAC on May 15 and 16 at King College in Bristol, Term. This year's team is composed of Dan Stone of Jackson, a junior; Tommy Hall of Jackson, a sophomore; Don Morris of Jackson, a junior; and Charles Wingo of Martin and Jackson, a senior.
