Now, the band needs cooperation and encouragement, and it is the student’s part to give it a boost. So here's to our band and' Mr Walker. HE MAROON AND GOLD SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1936 PASSING THE BUCK What is everybody’s business is nobody's business is a gjreat need at Elon College fo-r an assumption of responsibility by both the ad ministration and the student body. The general laxness and unsysten;- atic regime prevalent on the campus can be explained by this lad: of responisibility. The few departments that are systematically and satisfactorily deserve praise. The others are criticized, not for lack of capability tn the part of the lieads of the departments, but for a lack o the efficient use of this capability. The chairman of a committer for instance, blames the committeemen, and they in turn blamo the chairman if the work does not meet approval. Each shoul.l know and assume his own re.«ponsibility and fulfill his task. In the management of a college and its activities there shou^c* be a definiteness that is often missing at our Alma Mater. No one seems to know exactly w^hat his duty is, and is scrupulously care ful la=t he do more than he is supposed to. Blame for the unsystematic methods employed can be placed on no one person. Everyone is always ready with a g'ood alibi, and i'. Is never his fault when something goes wrong. If you are conscien tiously doing your duty to the best of your ability, keep up the good worji; it not, admit it, and give your Job your best. The World Fellowship Committee started out its month of em phasizing race relations with an excellent speaker at the Vesper program Sunday. There was a pleasing number of students attend ing by their presence, but from comments we have received a great many of these students weren’t attending with their minds. Now this is unfortunate, we students who are in college, in a very short time will be called upon to actually take up the burden of America s obligation to the negro. Even now we are a contribut ing factor, and if we are to act wisely we must be informed; w€»- must be rid of our prejudices. And prejudicies is for the most part, the basis of our attitude to ward the negro. Few of us think rationally, but rather allow our thinking to be guided by such fallacies as that God ordained the black man to be always inferior to the white, that the negro wants to break down the social line between the races, that negroes have no ability or real intelligence, or that the white race is infin itely superior to the negro rac€. The committee with its program is endeavoring to educate us out of those fallacies and provide us With new, and rational bases of th'ougiht in order that we may come to respect the negro’s pe,'- sonality, cease thinking of him in terms of our own conven ience, and him in developing his capabilities give him equal cJvic rights, and give ihim our good-will and sympathy. So let us endeavor to make the most of this month of intensive emphasis in re-thinking this whole problem of race relations in leiu.s of reason and Christian principles. WHO’SWHO 1“ --ON- “I I OUR CAIVIPUS I I ESTHER HOPPENSTEADT Open Forum •Students: This column is for you. Any comments you wish to malco will be appreciated. HIDY ED: My inind is in a whirl. So ma:>y question arise when I think of tho greatest thing that God gave mai in connection with Man’s dealing's with his fellovvman. By this I mean that God has given us the thing that is tho most vital jiart of our lives—the ability to mal e friends. The Winston Simplified Dic tionary states that Friendsh.p means "intimacy united with af fection or esteem: mutual atta-:'- ment: good will.” It is true that one speaks of “his girl” as ‘‘my I girl-friend” or the girl will speaiL ! of ‘‘her boy-friend.” It is also true I that many countries, organization-i, j and Bocietieg send delegates on I trip- known ais “good will tours." These aj-e all good, but J think that friendship goes down deeper into the liv’es of all people. One can look about himself aii'i notice tho congregating of tmiili groups here and there; one cau easily pick out thcee who 'are th'^ “beet friends” on the campus. There is no dcubt about the facc that all of uy have different ni tures and per?onalities, but altei all do we not make our own pet- Bonalities. characters, and every thin.q' tliat is concerned witli tho making of ourselves? (This is ono of my questions.) Here is another question: Docs it hurt some people to say "hello to others? Some students thii;': that the best way to be a friei; 1 is to "saddle up” to the particul?r pereon with whom he wishes ti be a friend. Nino, no, I will say seven times out of ten a frien 1 is gotten this way. However, I be lieve that in the long run, no true friendship is made. What would I propose to do? Simply this: Try to treat all alike try to find out why I can't make friends; and above all try to hav; a cheerful greeting to all who come my way on the street. There is one kind of friendship I would like to do away with. This is the Icind where a fellov uses his ••friend” as a ship. Mayi.'j if I give a concrete exami>le, you will understand just what I mean. For some time now, many stud ents have lost their books in a mysterious fashioh. Some students claim that valuables have walked out of their rooms. Wihat does this amount to? It is up to the student body to find out the way these things vanish, and what is the cause behind it. Surely there are enough members of the stud ent body who wisih to do away with such nasty doings. Let us v/ork in unison and drive this ev'l from our midst. I sincerely ho])-3 that this article comes into viev»^ of anyone who knows of the whereabouts of “walking books £:nd valuables”, and that he Oi she will do something about it. If I am wrong' about anythins^ I have written, I stand to be cor- j rected. SOCIETY NEWS Rudy Wiilmann spent the pa.s> week-end with his parents in Charlotte.
