PA^SIXG 'lUE TIME AWAY.
; Howf That's the question. Multitudes
of men in the emplo}' of others to-day are
there simply because they assulned that at-
ytude toward the business in ..hand when
they fiist eoniiecled themselves with it and
this opinion seems to stick. While, on the
other haiul, others have lived and worked
^he life of margin, hav^kept the traces
slretelied, and as a result are now in the
(ead, coiupollin" their indolent critics to
at least keep hopping- and continue to be
dragged aloii"- even against their own will
and desire.
The life of margin is the one worth
while, “if he compel you to go one mile,
go with him twain'' etc., and il' your pay
envelope call for forty-eight hours, don’t
make too many bones about it, if actual
count should show fifty. Too many of us
have jobs wlien in reality we would have
positions, all because we go at our daily
work to “pass the time away.”
In a connuercial way the individual who
keeps his eyes on the clock and his mind
on the pay envelope will be a good while
getting the envelojje supplanted by a cheek.
Ijikewise with students. That student
who is so perpetually digging for exami
nations even though he do not have the
broad idea of scholarship to prompt him
will attain to at least something. But
that indolent, lazy, moonstruck parasite
on civilization who uninterruptedly sits
around waiting for the dinner bell or the
three o’clock gong and who lives in con
stant dread of the sound that shall call
him to work has indeed no place in the
plan of snlvaliim so tar as modern com
mercialism is concerned. Business men
spurn him, real social leaders are disgusteil
with him and decent people pa.ss him by
as an nnfortunaie accident of what some
woidd call nature.
Kever shoulil we blame nature for such
as all those being's lower than man must
perform some service to the highest order
of creation, else they are made to become
-onspicuous by their absence.
Now it' we ac(|uire the habit of living
THE ELON COL
“to pass the time away” here, we need not
e.i eet any wonderful change in our con
duct after we leave here to settle down to
what we are pleased to call “work,” as our
particular “calling in life.” A rather
weak voice it must have been that called
us to a position preparation for which
may be had lounging around over rooms,
lolling over each other on the Campus,
bumming arouiid the station and stores
and basking in the sunshine of our one
busy corner.
Our sojourn here is not preparation for
life, but i.s a real part, the beginning- of
life itself and if this thing philosophers
and schoolboys like to theorize so much
concerning be as they say, a race, and
these years be [lie start, some of us are
beginning with a serious handicap and one
that will not be easily overcome. We may
feel ourselves talented and especially blest
by the (freat Dixider of talents and expect
to sail along easily over o’.ir fellows, but
just bear in mind that the other fellow
may have the same amount of the won
derful gift and that ] lus his grit will
place him the undis))uted master of his
more poorly eqnii)^>ed companion and then
they Will begin to ery for socialism, com-
munibu. or whatnot in order that he may
he supplied with what he thinks the world
is due him.
True, the world is due us a living by
virtue of our presence in it, but some of
us w-ill have to wait like Sandy to make it
and the quicker we learn that it take.s ten
hours to make a day’s work and six of
them to make a week, the sooner will we
be willing and able to Inickle down to bu
siness here in college and believe we have
other business here than to pass the time
away.

Greenville, S. C., April 22, 1913.
Owing to the fact that the game with
St. Mary’s w'as so long that it was im
possible to catch an early train the play
ers were by necessity compelled to be up
nearly all night. The team was in no
shape to play. Despite this fact the Uni
versity players only fanned Atkinson for
two hits in five innings when he was re
placed by Burrus who allowed them but
four hits. These coupled with ten errors
cost Elon victor_\. Elon fanned Workman
for seven safeties one by Bruce being a ho
mer and a three sacker by Johnson. Po-
teat also got a homer.
