NEW OFFICERS TAKE OVER IN MAY The campus officers who have struggled along with their various positions during this school year are looking forward to the time in the near future when they will be relieved of their responsibilities to the student body. Some are looking with a feeling of regret to that time and others with an anticipation and a joy in their hearts. Many of the officers have re grets that they have not been able to accom plish the things in their official capacity that they would liked to have seen come to pass. The duties of scholastic work and lack of co operation on the part of the students and ad ministration is to be blamed for any remorse that the officers might feel about reforms not having come to pass. There may have been a few who have not filled their official duties to the best of their ability but we know of no Elon student officer who has not done his best. The new officers will be faced with prob lems they did not know existed, but their con solation now is that they will have the guiding hand of the old officers to aid them until they get on to the way things are run. We hope to see the time come when stu dent officers will receive the recognition which we feel is due them if they are to give their position the time and inspired effort which is necessary. The Maroon and Gold extends its congra tulations to the new officers who in such a short time assume their responsibilities. We hope that they will be able to carry on and ac complish the things which this year’s officers have dreamed but have been unable to bring about. We feel that the retiring officers have filled their positions to the best of their ability and that the student body and the ad ministration owe them an undying vote of thanks for their efforts. With the installation of the new officers will begin a new year and the preview of a new era in the history of Elon College, the Golden Anniversary year of the school.

A STUDENT PROPOSAL FOR ,, AN AGRICULTURAL PROGRAM Elon College is located in a rural area, and a majority of ife: students comes from rural homes. Yet at Elon there is no curricu-t- lar inducement for prospective farmers, no emphasis on agricul-- tural interests — economic and cultural. Everyone agrees that, agriculture is a basic concern of human society. We would be interested in seeing at Elon: (1) The establishment of an agriculture department, with" courses in animal husbandry, horticulture, and other phases of farm economics. (2) As a laboratory for these courses, the purchase and use of a hundred or hundred-and-fifty-acre farm, located near the col lege. (3) Products of this farm used as chief sources of food for the college dining hall. (4) The foregoing set-up not to be isolated from existing facilities, but closely integrated with the science department as- well as with cultural departments. * (5) Cooperation in this program by federal, state, local, agri cultural agencies. Such a program would undoubtedly produce the following: benefits: (1) To the college a substantial increase in applications for- enrollment because the college would be meeting the needs felt by many high school graduates and not at present supplied by anjf institution in the state. (2) To Elon students an increased opportunity to meet their" financial obligations by working fin the farm. From the point of view of student health, the farm would provide good'' exercise- and plentiful food for the dining hall at low cost. In addition to- these practical benefits, the program would be of great value to« prospective teachers in rural schools, to church workers in rurall cor^unities, and would contribute to all students a broader out look on life. (3) To farmers and farming in this region, a key to the im proving of the economic conditions... Students planning to make farming their vocation would be encouraged and given practical scientific help with their ambitions. ‘ As a representative group of Elon students, we feel sure that the program is practical and fundamental, and that its benefits . ■would be large in the economic, cultural, and spiritual life of the- Elon family.
