AMS to Sponsor
First Track Meet
The Associated Men Students
Board is holding an “all comers”
track meet entitled “Track Meet
A-Go-Go” for all male students
who have not participated on the
school cross country or track
team this year, Friday on Horrell
Field at 3 p.m.
The purpose of the event is to
provide an opportunity for all
men who have not been able to
be members of intercollegiate
teams to have a chance to do so.
No ASB books are required to
enter the events, but interested
males must wind up in 111C prior
to the meet.
Pep Commissioner Matt Jeffer¬
son, organizer of the event, urges
all males who have not been a
part of track events this semester
to do so at this time. This pro¬
gram is being presented as a spe¬
cial attraction on the part of AMS
for the purpose of involving more
male students in school activities.
It is hoped by Jefferson and
AMS President Pete Holmstrom
that this event will become an an¬
nual sports event. Various medals
will be awarded at the meet.
Campaigning will continue all
this week and next. The election
assembly will be held next Tues¬
day at 12 noon in Sexson Audito¬
rium. The candidates will offer
their platforms to the ASB at the
convocation.
The polls will open immediate¬
ly after the assembly and remain
open until Friday at 3 p.m.

written such screen successes as
“The Hucksters,” “A Lion in the
Streets,” “Holiday for Lovers,”
and “Kismet”; and has both writ¬

Cage.” Lavender, writer and

tion and non-fiction for young
readers and for adults.
