Phi Psi Cli Work Now
Well Under Way
The preliminary work for the
1939 PhiPsiCli actually got un
der way this week. Tentative
plans for the layout were made
by the staff w^ith a representative
of the Bush-Krebs Engraving '
Company of Louisville, Kentucky.
Photography work started Mon
day morning under the direction
of the Dunbar-Daniels Studio of
Raleigh, and over 300 individual
sittings were made. Group pic
tures will be taken of the various
organizations very soon.
This year the staff plans a large

The program of collaboration be
tween Elon College and the Ala
mance County Schools is making
great progress this year. This
program was begun last year with
the aid of a grant from the Gen

science studies in rural secondary
schools. Elon College and the

College Press Room
Scene Of Activity
As Printers Speed Up
Last year another press was se
cured by the college to do job
work that could be done by an or
dinary shop. This year further
enlargements are taking place,
with more type and other equip
ment. A motor is being purchased
to pull the job press that was for
merly peddled by foot. Already
several jobs haveHseen printed for
the college. Among these there
were programs for the college
musical recitals, some ticket jobs,
a blank form for the Phipsicli, and
the Student Christian Association
Japel tags.
Two regulars, Wesley Holland
and Frank Donovan, were used
last year to print the Maroon and
Gold, and a special force was
rounded up to print “Elon Colon
nades,” the college magazine.
This year a new student, James
Heritage, has been added to learn
the trade to fill in next year, and
also to help take care of the extra
flow of work this year. It seems
that the Elon College Press is def
initely in for a very busy year.
There are still many people on
the campus who do not know
where the pressroom is located.

Yount, superintendent of Ala
mance County schools and Presi
dent Smith recently sighed a fur
ther agreement for extended co
operation.
The program, carried out by
Professor George Beecher of the
college Education Department, is
based on the belief that public
school education (particularly in
rural areas) should be education
for living in a particular environ
ment. In order for the rural
schools in Alamance County to
educate students for living in Ala
mance County, in the Piedmont,
etc., it is necessary to know the
characteristics, resources, and
problems of this area.
Work began last February on
the resources for study of the
sciences as means for participat
ing in and understanding the lo
cal activities and problems which
draw on the natural sciences. The
science teachers in all the county
high schools are cooperating in

Kryl Symphony Plays In Whitley Thursday
Soprano; Florine Zebach, Violinist: Barbara Le Brun, harpist:
Dorothy Dickerson, Coloratura and Burtis Preston, Baritone, to
Appear.
Elon College is presenting Kryl gram: Dorothy Dickerson, colora-
and his Symphony Orchestra as a
special treat for students and the
general public of the county. This
famous orchestra will appear in
Whitley Auditorium Thursday aft
ernoon, October 27 at 2:30 p. m.
This concert is not on the regular
Concert Series, but is a special
presentation of the College.
Elon has had some fine con
certs by little symphony orches
tras, but this is the first time a
complete symphony o»-chestra has
appeared here. There are about
fifty musicians in the orchestra.
Bohumir Kryl is considered one
of the world’s greatest cornetists
as well as a good conductor. He
is now making his thirty-fifth
coast-to-coast tour. Last year the
Orchestra played to 162 audiences
during the season, and were
tura soprano; Florian Zabach,
violinist: Barbara Le Brun, harp
ist; and Burtis Preston, baritone.
The program has been carefully
chosen, not only for its musical
worth, but for its appeal to the
layman as well as to the trained
musician. Bringing special and
outstanding concerts to the Elon
Campus is a venture, and it is hop.-
ed that the entire student body
will take this unusual opportunity
to hear a fine symphony orchestra.
In order to help defray the ne
cessarily large expenses of such
a concert, there will be an admis
sion charge.
A right smart group of Thes
pians turned out Wednesday a
week ago for the Elon Dramatic
Club's first meeting of the year.
Students who have trod the Elon
boards before came out in a body.
And a fine group of new students
manifested their interest in things
dramatic by putting in an appear
ance at the meeting.
The main purpose of the meet
ing was to elect officers for this
year. The officers chosen were
President, Gwen Tillmanns; Vice-
President, Kay James; and Secre-
tary-Treasurer, Mary Lewis Wal
ker. Dr. Collins, faculty advisor
for the club, spoke briefly con
cerning plans for plays to be pre
sented this year, and also discuss
ed the prospect of taking one or
two original and non-original
plays to the University of North
Carolina to compete in the drama
tic tournament next spring. Com
mittees to read plays and to con
sider what original plays to pre
sent were chosen; Maxine Hud
gins and Walter Fonville were
chairmen of the respective com
mittees. Last Thursday the club
held its second meeting, and re
ports of these committees were
given.

This was the second North State
Conference game for the Elonites
and the third for the Bears.
The Bears lost only two men
from last year, and the team this
year is much better than the team
of last year. The starting lineup
was practically the same as that
of last year with the exception of
Perry, backfield, and Womack,
lineman. Sigmon and Quinn had
been rated as the big threats in
the backfield of the Bears. The
line front of them averaged over
190.
The Lenoir-Rhyne team had
been touted as the “top” team in
the conference, and several sports
writers had picked them to walk
over the Christian aggregation.
Last year the Elon team won by a
score of 27 to 6 with Abbitt, Shel
ton, and Golombek leading the
Christian Cannonade.
The game is over now, though,
and the pigskin followers may
