PAGE FOUR MAROON AND GOLD SATURDAY, DECEMBER 5. 1042 JOLTS AND JARS I John A Teagarden Attraction, MIKE WHITESELL “War Is You Know What” Pollard There are two sides to everything, »xcept things that involve you know What! For example they said we ex aggerated the frigidity of our "igloo' in North "Cocoanut Grove” Dormi tory. Nevertheless the other P. M. we spilled a glass of water on the floor of our room and made $5 rent ing it out as a skating rinlc. Then on another occasion when we tried to study (?) after 10:00 P. M. it was so cold we had to wrap up in so much red (flannel?) that we felt like a go vernment agency. But when we tried to rent our room to Armour and Com pany as a refrigerator they told us that for thirty-three cents you can go to Greensboro on the train, or that tor forty-four cents you can stand up on the bus. But wouldn't it be nice if classes didn’t start until the heat was on or the icicles in the rooms began to melt; or don't you like classes at eleven o’clock, or don't you like classes? 'v»e really do have a lovely room. It brings back old nightmares—draf- ty ones. 'Why, we haven't had such an intimate contact with the draft since before we enlisted in the re serves. And while uncovering the above information we found out that from now on pens will be erected around the tables for Saturday’s meals. All of which amounts to this: “Why this water runs off my back like wa ter off a ducks back”, said the duck. And the price of a ticket to Greens boro is still the same.) According to a recent survey we have come to the conclusion that a bachelor is a fellow who didn't have an automobile when he was young. Another startling fact that we un covered was that the pompador is combing back. We didn’t learn this in biology, zoology, embryoolgy, or comparative anatomy, or what have you: but the seven ages of woman are—the infant, the little girl, the miss, the young woman, the young woman, the young woman, and the grand-mother. She was probably much happier i as she was but clipper ships are not floating barber shops for sailors. Personally we like mathematics but “tutherday” this happened, so we were told: Miss Casto: Now if 1 subtacrt 25 from 37 what's the diffeernce?” ! Jimmy Boone: “Yeah! That's w'hat I; say. Who cares?” I Dr. Barney said that it gave him J great pleasure to give us a “D” on j English so that we might stay in ■ school, but just think of the fun he t could have had with an “A”. j The Southern Railway certainly I does have courteous porters. Why j last w'eek-end when coming back to 1 school (?) the porter asked us if he | miglit brush us off, but we declined and got off the usual way. Did you know stuff: That before Artie Shaiv was in- d ictcd into the armed forces he tra veled from spot to spot in his deluxe Lincoln Zephyr accompanied by his secretary, arranger, chauffer and va- et?l That Rudy Vallee made his radio I debut in London while still a student [ at Yale? [ That Benny Goodman builds min- I iature homes? That .James Melton collects old hats? That Bea Wain collects restaurant menus? That Erskine Hawkins collects old phonograph records? That Horace Heidt is allergic to wool? That Dick Stabile got his musical start playing drums with a Brooklyn Boy Scout band? That he has been called the "Kreisler of the Sax ophone?” That Benny Goodman was a mem ber of the Musician's Union at the age of thirteen? That he has eight clarinets, seven for playing swing and one for classics? That Ted Fio Rito was a member of ASCAP I American Society of Com posers, Authors, and Publishers) when he was seventeen, or that at the time he was the youngest mem ber of the society?

Wonder if Elon’s 453rd Assistant Secretary of War and Navy has any more bright (?) ideas concerning physical education? Who was it that quit shadow box ing because his shadow looked like Joe Louis? (Wasn’t us because we quit when we got tired of waiting on it to hit first). Well, we have to go now because with five hours of COMPULSORY physical education, curricular, extra curricular activities, and work job we are as busy as an orphaned mos quito at a nudist camp. So long, etc. President L. E. Smith announced today that Marshall Whitesell, a na tive of Alamance County and of the Elon College community, has been made Superintendent of the college Power Plant. Mr. Whitesell has had twenty-five years experience as a garageman, electrician, and general work that fits him especially for the j( b as Superintendent of the Power Plant here. He will have charge of the heating, electrical work, plumb ing, and general repair of college property. WANT A PIPE? WE HAVE IT CITY DRUG CO. Burlinglon, N. C.
