PEP MEETINGS
During all this growth and im
provement io Elon ■College, the
one iocm infirmary has remaineJ
the same as it was when the stu
dent eniollment w-ts about half
what it is now.
Why can’t the infiiTnary be im-
;roved as the re t of the college
has, or is it that the student btdy
of Elon College is so healthy that
hey don’t need a d'spensary?
Parents send their boys and
their girls to Elon expecting that
hey will be promptly and proper
ly treated if the occasion might
jrise when the student fe’hculd
leed medical attenticn. 'As the
'nfirmary is new equipped an'
T.rerated it is impossible to prop-
srly treat even a bad cold, not t(-
nention a case of influeMa.

Uicarbonate of Soda pills, one of
he oldest remedies known to the
iresent student population for
stopping a cold in its beginning,
s net much medicine for curing
■inything except that and a head
ache.
Due to the schedule of classe«,
X student cannot go to bed and
get rid of a bad cold unless he be-
cmes so infected that he has to.
Every winter students are laid up
in bed with influenza ajid bad
cclds because what was merely a
slight cold in the beginning was
not pro.peily treated. The college
dispensary is not even as well
e(iuipped as the average family
medicine shelf.
The value may be more but that
i :• because what medicines the
college does buy aie in larger
amounts than the average family
needs.
If the infirmary is improved (is
it should be, it will be an impor
tant asset to the college instead

the students as it has been in the

News
Rev. Banks Peeler, Pastor of
the First Reformed Church in
Burlington, North Carolina, was
the inteiesting speaker for Chapel
■crvices of September 24th., 29th.
and October 1st. Rev. Peeler’s
messages were uplifting and en
couraging.
Rev. LeGrand Moody was the
minijter in charge of the Sunday
Morning service in the College
Church. His sermon was based on
the text, “No man can serve two
masters”. Rev. Moody preached
a forceful sermon from this por
tion of the Gospel. He is one of
our most promising young stu
dent ministers.

On all sides, there have been
comments upon the fine spirit
shown by the student body at the
pep meeting held Thursdjy night.
September 16, the first of the

that such a supporting spirit aid

but fact. The students of Elon

Library News
In an effort to make the stu-
•lents’ ibrary work simpler, the
library staff is using this year
a system which they hope will
present better the contents of the
library to the student. Each week
T group of books will be placed
on a shelf which will be of com
mon interest to the entire stu
dent body. Recent books in every
field will be found here along
with the “old stand-bys”. This
week a collection of books on
what and how to read, quotations,
and toasts will be placed there.
Mrs. Johnson recommends this
week Leal A. Headley’s book.
■‘Making the Most of Books”.
Left-overs: Can’t we have even
a little trouble out of the happy
little family in Ladies’ Hall? I
fear they are getting an angelic
expression around the eyes which
is bad on the morale of this in
stitution. After all, what do tho
freshmen think? ... I a'ppreciate

Mrs. Johnson’s Bobbie is in the
country this winter. From her
accounts he, as a college-lred
dog, had to learn to adapt him
self to the wide-open spaces. The
first thing he did was to place hi'
tail under the hoof of a sow and,
as Mrs. Johnson finishes the
story, “his tail has never been the
same”.
Each year I get a uncontroll
able hunger which can not be
quenched within a certain radiu'
of Elon. I see steaks floating
across campus, shrimp dance gaily
on my bed (I df> love shrimp),
people kindly go out of their way
to tell me what Ma had for them
when they got home last week
end, and I have to control myself
and say, “Gosh”, in an awed tone.
What a price we pay for civiliza

A prominent faculty member
was asked several years ago why
it was impossible to 'have a dean
of women who was not a freak.
He shook his lofty head and re
plied sadly, “My son, there is no
such thing.” We now challenge
that, and as proof and argument
we present Dean Julia M. Oxford.
Many of the feminine upperclass
men are fearing she will turn out
to be a pleasant dream. One was
heard to say in an awed tone, ‘ She
has good sense, hasn’t she?” The
girls have only one complaint to
make, and they feel they should be
heard upon this matter. Is it
fair for said dean to mnnopolize

her.

INFIRMARY
It seems as if the time has come
when the college infirmary mu-it
either he improved or discontinu
ed altogether. As the college has
grown larger and better, mjre
students have chosen Elon (Col
lege as the institution in which to
continue their pursuit of higher
education. During all chis time
of improvement in the college, it
ha.s been the aim of the college to
improve itself in order that it
might be a better school. The
faculty has been improved and
enlarged, the dormit'ries improv
ed and enlarged, more roomi.ig
places fixed, the dining hal' re-
wcrked. and the curriculum bnad-
ened.
As a result, the collegc has
grown in the last five or six
years, from a rtiediocre small
school of about 250 students, in^'.
