Financially speaking, from a

STUDENT PUBLICATIONS
Shortly before the Christmas
holidays began the Maroon and
Gold had to suspend publication
on account of financial difficulties
and this issue is the first to ap
pear since. It is a w'ell known
fact that it takes a crisis to kill
or cure a struggling cause. This
seemed to be a crisis for the stu
dent publications at Elon.
Now, let us see just what this
crisis has brought to light. Let
us ascertain just what factors
have been unearthed, that will
either help or hinder the future
prosperity of student publications
here. First we find that there is
a demand for a paper covering
student activities. This demand
made itself known not only
through the voice of students who
continually inquired after the
paper and who seemed to really
miss it, but it was discovered that
students w^ere interested enough
to subscribe and pay good money
for the contiimance of the publica
tion. It is due to this spirit on
the part of the students that
Maroon and Gold is here again.
The staff feels deeply indebted to
the students for this very real
help and they feel the urge to
strive harder to make the paper
better.

Since the twelfth of January the
canipus has been a merry rendezvous
for the goats. The many ingorous de
vices used to \isher these goats into the
j)rosence of the sheep have been very
amusing. In fact, personal discomfiture
of the goats seems to have been the
order of tlie day and this is one ofl the
fountain sources of humor.
The clubs and the new members of
eadi j’cspcctively, are as follows: Beta
Omicron Beta, Janette Stout, Dorothy
Bolvin, :\Iarioii Nalle, Edna Stout, Cal-
lio Si)ruill, Gladys Spruill, Sue Ella

BOOSTERS’ CLUB STILL
CONTINUES BOOSTING
THE PSrPHELIANS GIVE
FIRST OPEN PROGRAM
(Continued from Page 1)
Miss Lillie irorne, which was very
amusing.
Current Events by Miss Lucile !Mul-
holland were varied and included for
eign as well as domestic happenings.
Piano solo, waltz, by Chopin, was
ri'ndered by ]\riss Mary Addie White.
This selection was much enjoyed.
Essay on '‘Gossip” by Miss Lyde
Bingham, which was quite true to life.
Humor by ^Hss Frances Sterret,
which were well selected.
Dialogue, ‘ ‘ Spookingdike’s Private
Theatrical,” by Misses Tom Strader
and Birdie Rowland was the conclud
ing number. These young ladies render
ed their part well.
The society hall was filled to its
capacity with a well pleased audience.
To' date the Boosters’ Club has given
three engagements at the High Schools
this season—Haw River, Randleman,
and JSlebane. The Club plans to run
its jn’ograni on through this mouth, and
iVfarch, finishing uj) the season on
March 27th, at home.
Quite a number of clianges have
been made in the personnel of the Club.
Howard Hughes, who played with the
gymnasium team and took the part of
the clown, has not returned to college
for the second semester. Four men,
who were' not with the Club in the fall,
have taken part in the programs given
so far this session—Spencer Smith,
Gordon Holland, Julian Smith, and
Glenn Womble.
The Chib opened its season at Haw
River. A warm reception has been
accorded the boys at the three places
they have been since Christmas, and
good audiences attended the perfoTm-
ances.
A three-day trip into Moore and
Montgomery counties in the southern
])art of this State is contemplated for
the latter part of March. This trip
will take in the larger schools of these
two (Mvunties.
Next week on Thursday night the
Club will give a program at the
Nathaniel Green School where R. W,
Utley is principal. The other places
that it will play this spring are Semora,
Ruffin, Sylvan, Pleasant Garden, Ala
mance, the southern trip, and the home
engagement.
The Club will be entertained for sup
per at Ruffin and Semora. A few of
these engagements are tentative and
slight changes may be necessary in case
definite dates in some instances do not
work out satisfactory. The Club has
enjoyed especial success this year, and
besides boosting the college it has af
forded the boys experience in appear
ing before audiences that they could
have gotten no other way. Also these
trips have been pleasant diversion from
college work and have been enjoyed by
all.

The General Electric Com
pany, as of Decembers, 1924,
had 37,716 stockholders, of
whom 45 per cent were
women. The average num
ber of common shares held '
by stockholders was 55. In
ownership, policies, past and
present activities, G-E is un
selfishly dedicated to the
cause of electrical progress.
A new series of G-E adver
tisements showing what elec
tricity is doing in many
fields will be sent on request.

This ^iant hydro-electric unit weighs 750 tons and consists of a vertical shaft
hydraulic turbine att&ched to an electric generator deliverind 52,000 kilowatts
at 12,000 volts.
Bigger Generators—
Cheaper Electricity
A 70,000 horsepower hydro-electric unit recently installed at
Niagara Falls utilir:es the sa:ne amount of water as seven
former 5,000-horsepower units, yet does the work of fourteen
such units. And it saves 700,000 tons of coal yearly for the
nation.
As more and still more uses are found for electricity, larger
and more economical generators are installed. At the power
plant, as we.l as at the ccrisiimer’s end, important changes and
startling developments have steadily reduced the cost of
electricity for li-ht, power, and heat.
And wherever electricity hss blazed its trail—in towns, cities,
industrial centers, and rural communities—comfort and progress
have come to stay.
Generating and distributing electricity concern the technical
student. But electricity’s application in the betterment of
in ustry, the professions, and hoine life concerns every edu
cated person. Cheap electricity means many startling achieve
ments today, but countless and unbelievable possibilities
tomorrow.
