Seniors lose to the Juniors in the finals of the class tournaments for this semester which were played on Friday, 24th. Baseball is introduced to our students. On Friday, 24th., a victory of 4-1 was gained by the Juniors who beat the Seniors in all events save the men’s basketball. This overall victory was due mostly to coordination — a thing brought .about by previous practice. Practice, we know, was opened to all, but a few abided by the notice therefore giving a helping hand to defeat. This was obvious in the girl’s volleyball match, where the Juniors won the first game by 15-0. Seniors either crowded round the ball or left it with the hope that the next player might hit it. This, of course, proved to their disfavor. In the 2nd. game the Seniors, who had now warmed up, started by leading but lost the game by 10-15. Men Lose Both the A and B teams of volleyball for men lost, to everybody’s surprise. This was then followed by a very hot basketball match where the girls, both Juniors and Seniors, fought tooth and nail for the end result. One very obvious factor in that game was the roughness of all the players. Crowding round the ball and tearing it out of each others hands were two points noticeable by all those present. The game, all players should note, requires a careful manipulation of the ball together with the coordination of all the action of players. Pushing and hitting should not exist. These are unethical for any game. Juniors Win The match ended with a victory to the Juniors, who won with a difference of one point. This was followed by the men’s basketball match which was won by the Seniors. With this match we came to the end of all class tournaments for this semester. But students are urged to know that several sports days will follow — that sports activities have not come to an end as yet. It was noticed this semester that new sports activities have been introduced to A.U.C. Among these were badminton, three-a-side basketball game and baseball. The last, played on our grounds on Friday 17th. proved quite successful. Though the equipment was scarce and students were still being introduced to the game, an atmosphere for baseball was created. Players, including Mr. Johnston and Mr. Ha-lamandaris enjoyed the game thoroughly and suggested keeping it up. Well, why not; let’s keep up everything. Bravo Students I ■ Students win the day in their matches against staff on Saturday, 25th. Four victories were sufficient to give a long fought for victory to our students, in their struggle against the staff. The tennis singles went to the students as Sandero beat Mr. Manucher. But the staff members were not ready to accept this defeat. Their team representatives. Dr. Miller and Mr. Gobrial, beat Ghassan Zarifeh and Aoun Shawa. As the tennis was going on, the ping-pong matches were in full swing. The 6 ping-pong events were in favour of the students. Staff Are Efficient . ! Following the schedule, the volleyball match was then played. The efficiency of the staff was unbelievable. It should be mentioned that the staff members do not train as often as students do. It was with a great deal of hard luck that they lost the match by 2 to 1. Basketball then ensued and here the students imposed their victory. They won with 58 to 38, though at half-time the staff were leading by 22 to 20. All steiff members. Dr. Roberts, Dr. Hirabayashi, Mr. Halamandaris, Mr. Holtz and Mr. Vessilaros, proved most cooperative and successful as a team. Had they had more time to train they would have certainly won the day. Mazen Chosen President Classes To Elect Their Candidates Club and class elections were the major parts among those discussed by the members of the student council during their meeting, Friday, April 24, The student council fair and planting around the university fence were also discussed. Class and club election dates were set for May 6 and 11. Classes will have their elections on Wednesday 6, during the assembly hour. The Student Christian Association, the Maskers Club, and the Science Honors Society will have their elections on the same day at 1 o’clock. 'The Arab- and Greek Cultural As- sociations will have their elections on Monday, May 11, following the assembly. Adjustments will be made in cases of conflict. Election for the president and .secretary of the Council was held on Monday, April 27. during assembly. Mazen Na-shashibi and Zaki Kour were nominated ; the results were as follows : Mazen 154, Zaki 99. Dean of Students McLain was delegated by the Council to see that the planting along the University fence be arranged to screen the students on campus more from the outside.
