Barney Shows Way To Students In Both Golf And English Four Elon Debators Representing Elon At Annual Tournament Reserve Class V-7 Will Close May 1 The Elon College Debating 'I’eam went to l)Urlington last Saturday and sold defense; stamps, on the corner in front of tlie Unitetl Dollar Store. Tho memlx'rs of the team that parti cipated in the selling of these stamps were: Tom Smythe, Louis Adair, Bob Sellers, and Klliot Schmidt. They were assisted by June Murphy and Lillian Dyer. The people responded very well and helped in every way possible. The Burlington Auto (?o. donated a truck for the purpose, with /lecorations being' furnished by the American Legion. Radio station W'HBB gave a radio pro gram for these lH>ys in order to publicize their geing in Burling ton. One iiiterestiiig thing was that even the little newsboys and bootblacks bought one stamp; even though that wasn’t very much they felt it their duty to hel|) out all they could. The final roundu)) was that there had been $87.t)0 worth of stamps sold,* with i)rospects of .':t1>ng more next- time.

The new Class V-1 program will replace V-7, said Ensign P. E. Davenport, V-7 recruitins; of ficer. Eighty thousand students between the ages of 17 and 19 will be enlisted this year in V-1, allowed to complete at least two vears college and then dividi*d into three .groups—flight train ing, midshipman training and general service — by competitive ■examinations. The 20,000 men selected for flight training and the 45,000 men for general service will be sent to active duty on or after completion of two years college. The 15,000 men accepted for mid shipman training w'ill be allow ed to complete four years before being sent to a midshipman train ing school. Over 300 college students or graduates have enlisted in Class V-7 here since the program, one ,)f the most, jiopular of its kind in military service, oiM?ned in 1940. The University of North Carolina lias furnished 130 students for V-7 to date here, and leals all other colleges and universities in the state in this program.

The juniors and seniors are combining to have one biiiuiuet this year instead of the usual two. Definite arrangements have; not been made as to the tvjK' of prorrram, but it is lielieved that it will be a gala affair. Golf, the toughest game in the world has its decided advantages along with undesirable disadvan tages.' To- think that one little blade of rass can cost a man a thousand tlollars, but golf gives its players a chance of fellow ship and companionship that no xither game affords. Si|uirc‘ liarney is the i>rofes- sional of the Elon Country Club. Although he has not lieeii affilia ted with the game very long, you can be assured he is making it a difficult task to defeat him. The Elon Country Club is a short nine hole course of distinc tion. It has the finest natural hazards in this i>art of the coun try . The narrow fairways, the fast greens, and the debres of the dining hall fire offer to any gol- ier, w’hether dub, divot-digger, or ))rofessional a real test of his ability. Pro. Barney has a great style of play, always straight down the middle of the fairway. He may not be on the green on the first shot, b:|t when the score is added up he is nearly always low-maii. Almost any sunny afteriuKui you can see Squire Barney, who divides his time between being a j[jroffcssoi' of English and profes- Elon Countrv C'lub, his home course to veal trouncing. He not f.u-.htii the younger genersT^ tion the jViirts of spc'ech, but he also gives pointers to the young sters who follow him around the course, so that they may someday become golfers of distinction. PhiPsiCII To Appear This Year On May 9 Guess what ^ The PhiPsiCli will l)e out earlier this year than ever before. Years before, about two days before school ended, tho annual would arrive. Then came the hurrying and scurrying of students to get everyone to write in his or her annual. This year the editor feels safe in announcing that the 1942 eili- tion of the PhiPsiCli will be out by Alay 9. They hope you like it and that you will be proud to call it your book. inthro)) (’ollcge is again the scene of the (Jrand Eastern De- hators Tourney. This final tour- nain_ent acts as the culmination of the debate season for all univer sities and col leges on th(^ eastern seaboai'd.

The query for debate in this tourney is; Resolved That All I-ahor Unions Should Be Regu lated Bv 'I’he Federal Govern ment. This is a very timely sub- iect, and shyild bring forth manv fine yioiiits. Kach team competes in nine rounds, and the onlv wav a team knows it is doing well is bv tlir quality of its ojiponent. 1 lie results of the tourney are later mailed to each team and in dividual speaker. As this arxicle goes to ))r(‘ss vour reporter has just received a wire from “our boys” saying that all is well and everything is pro ceeding as scheduled. However, there is one exception tliere will not ge another “bride and groom contest,” in which Louis Adair can uphold liis reinitation as groom.

Ala mance Tower Serves As Air Raid Tower On th(‘ top floor of Alamance Building, there is a small tower or cupala that all of you stu dents have noticed at one time or another. T’his tower at the present is be ing used by the fire watchers, dur ing an air-raid, to locate fires caused by incendiary l)onigs. In case of an air-raid, i)ick W\-ldon, one of the fire watchers, runs up to tho toi> floor of Alamance, clinihs by way of a ladder thru tlie attic to thi,-i tower. It is then his job to report by signal any fires to the fire \var('i'hs on the ground. This tower is the logical place for a fire tower and is important in the defense of Elon (.'ollege. It is important that otjiers hel]) in the defense of Klon, so be a meniger of the SOS drive, Serve Or Sink. .IV/A7V0jV COh‘f>S I!i-:pi!E:^knt.\tive to he IIEl! 1C NEXT WEDXESDA V I.ient W.
