STUDENTS REQUESTED
TO TAKE PART IN
REVISING RED BOOK
LOOK OOT FOR YOUR
At the cliapel period Friday morning,
March 15th, Dr. Harper talked on how
tn choose your majors and minors.
When the freshman enters Elon he
is sent to an advisor who determines
as far as is possible what the student
cxpects to' do in later life. If he is
to be a business man he should major
in business and minor in some subjects
which are related to tlie subject. But
not all of his subjects should be along
the line of business, :^r if they are
he will not be a well rounded student.
If in his Sophomore year he wishes to
change his major, he may use one of
liis minors as his major.
Dr. Harper declared that too many
students were majoring in English, as
a big majority would have no need for
it when they get out of school. It is
all right for those who expect to teach
English and major in it, but if the
student intends to* go into some other
work when he leaves school he should
major in some field which is more close
ly related to his future work.
If the students will go to their ad
visors, when they are asked to, they
can with their aid select a major and
minors which if carried through as
planned will give them an education
which will gcf a long way in aiding
them in making a success in after life.
Attentio'n, fellow students! There
seems to be much unrest in the minds
of many students due to certain rules
and regulations which, we as students
are expected to follow. It is a good
thing to be critical at times, if we know
what wo want, and if what we want
is better than what we already have.
A mass meeting is a very poor place
to decide such matters, for it is dif
ficult to be reasonable under pressure,
and sometliing of the mob spirit is fre
quently evid/enced.
So here's the proposition for your
consideration: As president of the
Student Body, I am earnestly and re
spectfully asking any of the gentlemen
who are dissatisfied with any rule to
please write down the rule with their
objections or suggestions for changing.
Send your suggestions to some member
of the Student Senate within the next
ten days. If you are willing to do
this, I can assure you that the Senate,
so far as possible, w’ill give it due at
tention.
I w'ould suggest that the ladies like
wise hand their objections to the Stu
dent Council. Are we willing to' offer
any suggestions; or dO’ we intend to
keep grumbling without knowing what
we w’ant? ]f any of us are prone to
knock the present rules, now is our
chance to show our wares by telling
our reasons; or cease to grumble and
hereafter be a whole-hearted booster.
Tf we are to have Student Government,
why have students dissatisfied? Let’s
have your suggestions.
D. W. Shepherd,
President Student Body.

THE PHILOLOGli
lITEfUBy SOCIEiy
The Philologian Literary Society
held its regular meeting last Wednes
day evening in the Society hall. The
program for the evening was well
rendered and proved to be very interest
ing to all. The program rendered w^as
as follow’s:
]. How to Earn Most Money Dur
ing Vacation by C. W. Kipka. Mr.
Kipka gave some interesting and help
ful hints on how to make best use of
the summer vacation.
2. Some Amusements for Vacation
Time by W. L. Register. Mr. Register
gave an interesting talk.
3. The Advantage of Being a Mag
azine Salesman by T. E. Lowery. Mr.
Low^ery related some of his experiences
a magazine salesman.
Mr. Cather gave some veiy humorous
selections.
The debate, on the query. Resolved,
tliat the Seashore is a better place to
spend a Vacation than in the Moun
tains, proved to be hotly contested by
both sides.
The Affirmative was upheld by
Messrs. C. Cox and G. 0. Mann, and
the Negative was defended by Messrs.
C. P. Thompson and F. Smith. The
Negative came out victorious.
CLIO LITEfURY SOCIEiy
ELECTS NEW OFFICERS
Mr. Elder was elected president of
the society for the ensuing quarter. He
certainly has been a very faithful
member of the society; therefore wc
feel confident that every one of the
memibers of the society rejoices upon
seeing Mr. Elder occupying the presi
dency. Mr. Benton was elected vice-
president; Mr. W. G. Lockhart, censor;
Mr. Cagle, secretary; and Mr. Watson
and Mr. Morphis, first and second
critics, respectively.
We feel confident that the new of-

{'bout oflucation is the spirit with wliich
some of its followers serve and with
which they wish to “carry on” the
great work. Tliere are many ways that
ficrvice may be rendered in the educa
tional field, and teaching is, of course,
one of the fundamental and most help
ful. There are also vario'us w’ays of aid
ing and furthering the work. Not the
least of these is a great burning desire
to give other boys and girls, men and
women, a chance to enjoy educational
opportunities. Many people who hav?
this desire not only dev'jte their lives
to- educational work but give of their
means.
Prof. M. A. McLeod, of Broadway,
N- C., was a man witli such a desire.
Prof. McLeod died in the winter of
1926 while his son, M. A. McLeod, Jr.,
was a student at Elon. Of Mr, McLeod
his home town paper writes: “Prof.
]\TcLeod made teaching a profession
and not a stepping stone to something
else. He taught school because he lov
ed it and wanted to see poor, but
w'orthy boys and girls given a chance
in. life. He began educational work
scion after he left college. He founded
the Broadw'ay Normal School some
twenty-five years ago and x^repared
many bright boys and girls for college
01’ for their life’s w'ork. Many of his
pupils were from other sections of the
state.”
Mr. McLeod, out of his desire to" help
others who were worthy to get an edu
cation, has pro-vided a scholarship to
he awarded some student of Elon Col
lege. This scholarship was awarded to
>forman Cameron for the school year
1928-1929.

Query: Resolved, That a Substitute
For Trial by Jury Should Be
Adopted.
ELON TO UPHOLD AFFIRMATIVE
The other afternoon as I was enter
ing the Y. W. 1 heard some one speak
ing. I thought perhaps some dignified
Junior was practicing his oration, or
even the radio might be on; but on the
inside no signs of either could be seen.
About an hour later, as I w^as coming
through the Colonnades, I ran into
George IT. Robertson. He looked as if
he had been expounding on some sub
ject, so 1 asked him if he had. He said
that he had been practicing a debate
speech. Then, as all women do, I asked
him a few questions. Some T asked
were: “With whom?” “When?”
“Where?”, etc. This is what I found
out. Elon College is going to debate
Wake Forest here Friday night, March
22nd, on the question: “Resolved,
That a substitute for trial by jury
sliould be adopted.” As Elon has thg
affirmative, our debaters will hold up
the “aye” side of the question. No,
George H. isn’t to be the oiily speaker
from here, L. C. Williams, another mar
ried man, will be his well-prepared
colleague.
Fellow students, now is the time to
show^ the Elon spirit! ! Go to the de
bate and let the boys know that we aro
behind them and that the “Old Elon
Spirit” still lives on the campus.

Paul J. “Hardrock” Simpson, former

It will be remembered that Paul kept

was hampered and greatly retarded by
obstacles which would have forced any

OR. ALEXANDER TENDERS
RIS
At a called meeting of the church on
Wednesday evening, Dr. W. S. Alex
ander tendered his resignation as pastor
of the Elon College Christian Church.
The resignation w'ill be effective August
31, 1929. The church very reluctantly
accepted his desire to resign. Dr.
Alexander’s five years of faithful ser
vice here have been eminently fruitful
in spiritual achievement.
We are glad that he will be with
us during our stay in school this term.
We wish him and his family success
w’here ever they go. May it be for the
betterment of his kingdom.

The Cabinet of the Religious Activi
ties Organization deems it appropriate
that during Passion Week—March 25th
to 31 st—the student should hold special
brief, informal worship services, begin
ning each evening at 7:05 p. m. This
would be in keeping with the practice
of many Christian bodies throughout
the world, who hold special services in
commemoration of the last week of
Jesus’ ministry. It is hoped that the
students will show their appreciation of
what Jesus has done for them by at
tending these services and trying to
catch a larger measure of the spirit of
the Master.
The leaders for tne different services
are expected to lo'ok after the details
of the services, both as to preparation
and carrying them out, as well as to
prepare a brief, significant discussion
of the assigned topic.
The program follows:
Monday—Topic: The Significance of
Passion Week to the World—Leader,
Pi of. Van Cleave; song leader, Allen
Laxton.
Tuesday—Topic: The Stone Which
the Builders Rejected—Leader, II. G.
Robertson; song leader, H. S. Shep
herd.
Wednesday—Topic: Being a Friend
to Jesus—Leader, Viola Worsley; song
leader. Jewel Presnell.
Thursday—Topic: Thy Will Be
Done—Leader, Eva Sykes; song leader,
Anna Virginia Britt.
Friday—Topic: The Meaning of the
Cross—Leader, Ray N. Moses; song
leader, E. F. Rhodes.
Saturday—Topic: The Triumph of
Christ—Leader, Miss Hattie Brown;
song leader, Gardner Underhill.
