j To thirty American Colleges,
from far away Bowdoin in Bruns
wick, Maine, to Piedmont Col
lege in sunny Georgia; from E.
C. T. C. near the shores of Caro-
j lina, to Southern Methodist
University out in Dallas, Texas,
the MAROON AND GOLD is sent.
And a great number of these
schools send their papers to us
^ in exchange. Out of these many
I publications we gather material
• for a new column, which we
hope meets with your approval.
If it does, it will be a regular
feature on this page.
We read in the GUILFORDIAN that
the Quaker college has 167 women and
104 men enrolled. And inter-.)ollegi-
ate football. (Wait till next Septem
ber, gentle brothers.)
The Pi Gammu Mu chapter at
Winthrop is sponsoring a student
assembly program on employ
ment. They will discuss wha^
students feel will be most helpful
in orienting them to a job after
graduation and see educational
movies in connection with em
ployment.

Pictured above are Floyd Boyce, Jack son. and Ann Ashley, Fairmont, who
were chosen by the Sophomores on t he basis of looks, popularity, and
personality to reign over the annual Sophomore-Freshman reception held
October 20 in Society Hall. They we re crowned by Betty Benton, Norfolk,

Rush week terminated at N. C.
State with 104 freshmen becoming
pledges of the eight social fraterni
ties on campus. The Pi Kappa Alpha
fraternity led the field with 31 new
members.
We also see in THE TECHNICIAN
that the Veterans Association at State
sponsored the first annual ball of this
year on last Saturday night, with
Woody Hayes and his orchestra fur
nishing the music.

WAXING WISE WITH
EDDIE
There is a student with the nom
de plume, Verda Lee, at South
ern Methodist University. So
ther are two of them!!! But the
difference is that their Verda Lee
sings in French, German and
Italian, whereas ours doesn’t sing.
They both love cats.
According to the OLD GOLD AND
BLACK, some of the Wake Forest stu
dents are jarred about the selection of
WHO’S WHO from their school this
year. One student, in a letter to
the editor says, “It is unthinkable that
out of the six majyr fields of extra
curricular activities: Student Govern
ment, Religious Life, Fraternities.
Publications, Speech and Dramatics,
and Athletics, only three should be
represented. That out of 750 students
only eleven could be found who are
supposedly eligible.” An editorial
was also written on the subject, which
we reproduce below:
“Each year a committee selects a
group of students to represent Wake
Forest in WHO’S WHO AMONG
STUDENTS IN AMERICAN UNIVER
SITIES AND COLLEGES. Each year
when the list is announced feelings
of dissatisfaction are aroused. This
feeling has been growing from year
to year. This year it reached its cli
max. One cause for this dissatisfac
tion is probably the fact that there
are no objective standards set down
for the selections. Until such stand
ards are set down OLD GOLD AND
BLACK suggests that this year's selec
tion be the last.”
And last, but not least, orchids
to Mary Jane Simpson, writer of
the girls’ sports column in the
DUKE CHRONICLE for naming
her column, “Shorts on Girls.”

, Dear Lib:
Reckon it’s about time again to
bring you up-to-date on the gossip
about, happenings of, and just plain
old every day f/nall talk by the Day
Stoodents of dear old Elon.
You remember Tessie Coffin don’t
you, Lib? If you should come to
Elon, you would have very little trou
ble distinguishing her from the oth- j
er glamor girls ’cause she has two
stars where her eyes ought to be. |
You see, her man is due home most
anytime. It’s ^no secret, everyone
knows. She even took ufi the first
five minutes of religion class to ques
tion and discuss with Dr. French the
present-day speed of ships, number of
days required for trip, etc. But, Tes
sie is not the only one treading on air
over the prospects of the return of a
certain man. Hilda Neese is bub
bling over too, and Simple is real
excited ’cause in about two more
years, Norman might have enough
points to come home. Lib Braddy
doesn’t say too much about Ray, but
we can’t help noticing the hopeful ex- j
pression in her eyes. I
Romeo Allen (you’ve heard of him I
before) must be working hard toward ^
a “complete monopoly” on all the
Elon girls. In just a matter of min- I
utes I’ve seen him gaze into Nuisance’s j
eyes, plan a date with Simple, and |
walk down the hall between Helen!
Kingsland and Betty Murray with both j
arms full. I must confess. I’m just a ^
confused on-looker. j
Inidentally, Lib, when I finally |
find out the subject matter of the ^
Monday morning sessions between I
Amelia Flowers and Jo Nell Dixon
I'll be sure to enlighten you. From |
the rumors, it sounds interesting. i
You should have heard Ruth Mc
Pherson’s solo in chapel Wednesday.
It was really beautiful. We’re all |
proud to claim such outstanding tal- j
ent as a day student.
Now to the latest report on the vol*
leyball games. From Team Manager
Simpson we learn that our hard-hit

“Bijou”—“Put That Ring On My

The amazing efficient Woody
Herman band on Columbia con
tinues to surprise, this time with
a fine jazz-rumba called “Bijou.”
It really rocks, is a fine piece of
orchestration and we reco^nend
a listen to it. Of particular note,
aside from the fine figures
throughout, is a brilliant trom
bone solo by Joe Harris (fine
name and an exciting “tram”
man). The other side is just an
other “pop” tune but Woody does
manage an acceptable vocal and
that rhythm section is felt—but

“That Drummers Band”—
Gene Kruppa
Columbia seems the prevalent
platter this issue, for Gene’s wild
and wooly theme is on a red disc

theme and it really comes on.
The band gets in the groove on
their theme as they do on no
other tune and really gives you

Not only do we have beauty, person

fortunate in having scholarship rep
resented in the form of Miss Pauline
Cheek from Graham. She made a
very outsanding record all through
school and climaxed it all by walking
away with top honors as va?edictorian
of last year’s senior class. The “very
little” blond you see her with is
Dora Alice Bulla, also of Graham.

a glimpse of current events. Will

( Our campus personality honors fall
to a Ladies’ Hall girl this week. With
her brown hair, brown eyes and vivid
character she has made a striking ap
pearance around the campus for the
past three years; especially with that
diamond ring shining on her third
finger, left hand.
Ruby Braxton, a Junior, majoring
in English, is from Whiteville, North
Carolina—“the best little town in the
South.” Why she came to Elon? It
seems that the "big sis” came here
first and paved the way. We sure are
glad the little sister decided to fol
low in her footsteps. During the
past three years Ruby has taken part
in all campus activities including the
band, the choir, the Student Christian
Association, the Art club, the Educa
tion club, and the Household Arts
Club. At the present she is a mem
ber of the Pi Kappa Tau Sorority, a
member of the Pi Gamma Mu Hon
orary Fraternity, and Intramural
Council representative from Ladies’
Hall. j
Ruby’s outstanding hobby is paint- i
ing, and we will be forced to admit |
that she is plenty good at it. You |
should see the various pictures and |
plaques she has painted in art class
this year. As a sideline she collects
dogs and other “what nots.” And
we almost forgot to mention it, but
she is also interested in airplanes, be
ing a member of the National Aero
nautics Association. In fact, she was
the first woman in Columbus county
to join the Whiteville chapter of this
organization. (How about that?)
Her favorite pastimes are just about
typical of any Elon girl: ea'fng, sleep
ing, playing bridge. She likes oysters,
sailors, brown eyes, spring days, in
tellectual people, frilly hats, and just
about all music (this does not include
“Hill-Billy”). . For some reason she
immensely dislikes snooty people,
boys with G.I. haircuts, skirts with
out pleats in the back, wearing eve
ning dresses, and all forms of soi/j.
Did you ever hear of a car that has
a mechanical device for turning the
wheels side ways to slide in a park
ing place? Well, you will in the near
future, because to invent something
like that is Ruby’s greatest ambition;
besides, of course, to become a cer
tain sailor’s wife. Also she wants to
drive a fire truck down the main street
in Whiteville, and take a trip to Ha
waii. (Quite a girl, isn’t she?)
“Bell Bottom Trousers” ranks first
on her song list, (wonder why?) with
“My Hero” following a close second.
Her favorite books are all written by
Faith Baldwin. And as you all know,
her heart belongs to Junior—for
keeps too.
One of her more unusual desires is
to decorate her own home some day
exactlX the she waTits i1f, and to
make herself just oodles and gabs oi
short, two-pieced pajamas.
With her motto “Never put off until
tomorrow what you can do today,”
we are sure Ruby’s each and every
ambition will soon be a reality. (But
we still have our doubts about that
device for the car ... we sure hope
she can do it). Hats off to a swell girl.
that keyed up feeling.

“Clarinade”—“June Comes Around
Every Year”—Benny Goodman
The King (and don’t let any
body kid you, he really is the
king), gives with as fine a piece
of clarinet artistry as we've ever
heard. The backgrounds are
beautiful, and Benny rCelly has
something to offer in “Clarin
ade.” The other side is a ballad
and a pretty one. You’ll like it
to dance to or just to breathe in
the magic of the Goodman clar
inet.
By JO EARP
A problem that confronts a girl at
one time or another is whether or
not she should offer to share the ex
penses of her date. Just to show that
Elon is made up of both old fash
ioned people and the modern kind,
we present the following opinions:
Gerald Hook and Bill Clapp seem
to think alike. They say that if the
girl is working and making enough
money, then it is all right.
Betty Bob Stone: “If they date a
lot and she wants to buy the tickets
and he the meals, it’s O.K.”
Sarah and Eddie split everything.
Alice Brewer: “If the poor boy looks
like he is broke I would pay.” j
Erma Graham: “Never!” j
Jo Watts: "It’s not etiquette, but
circumstances alter cases.” j
Co-editor: If she means to “altar the
boy, then she might pay.” |
Mai-y Hope Smith: “Most of the
time the girl is broke.” j
Marjorie Reidt: “Good idea once in '
a while for the girl to suggest it.” ,
Patsy Wrenn: “It depends on the j
boy. If he has the nerve to ask, then '
he should know what he is getting
into.” j
Virginia Rebick: “Yes, it’s O. K.”
Bill Williams: "Never! If the girl
paid her way it would not be a date.
A boy is expected to foot the bill.” 1
Marian Griffin thinks that if the,
boy doesn’t have the money he should
not ask. j
Kermit Inman: “It’s okay in the
North, but never in the South.” I
Emory Gilliam: “It all depends.” !
Ermine Davis: “Okay, if it’s .your
brother.”
Margaret Rice: “If he asks, he
should be able.”
James Wilkinson: “If he can’t af
ford it he shouldn’t have asked.”
Ronnie Cates: “It’s impolite and j
often hurts his feelings.” j
Wayne King: “If she picks him up j
she should; if he picks her up then |
I let him pay.”
Fred Register: “In college, yes!”
Tom Hoffman: “The conditions de
cide it.”
Earl Danieley: “If decided before
hand it is all right, otherwise, never.”
Miss Greenfield: “It it’s an expen
sive affair, then she should buy her
ticket.”
Mrs. Marlette: “It’s the boys place
to pay.”
Larry McCauley: “It’s a swell idea.”
Helen Scott doesn’t know.
Ella Mae Morgan doesn’t want the
public to know how she feel?.
Marian Jackson: “It’s all right.”
Martha McDaniel: “It's all right if
they are engaged.”
Jo Frazier: “It depends on the
boy.”
Dot Brinkley: “No! It isn’t the girl’s
place.”
Nellie Rascoe: “Depends on the
time and place.”
Edith Sharpe “If he is a gentleman
he won’t let her.”
Hattie Ann Greene: “If he is work
ing his way through college then she
should coi/sider that.”
Orville Robinson: “If he doesn’t
have any money, they should stay at
home.”
Tom Horner; “I’m not fur, and I
ain’t agin. I come from New Bern,
We don’t go to soda shops and dis
orderly places.”
(Editor’s note: I didn’t say that.)

Tom has asked nie to tell you some
thing about our Art Department, but
first, let's eat our Wheaties and climb
those three flights of stairs to do a
little peeping through the key hole.
There’s Lila standing over there
with her smock on and a paint brush
in her hand. Jack Holt is informing
her that all the girls are flirting with
him and won’t let him alone but it
looks the other way round to me.
Dale Hensley is working on that
huge picture in the corner which is
bigger than she Is, but right now she's
jabbing French with Allene Stallings,
VI ;io has her water colors out before
her.
"Your’s truly” is sitting over there
in the corner with her back to Jack
(We've just had a small war over the
Duke and ’BAMA football teams) and
is rubbing, with the aid of five fing
ers, colored chalk into sandi^iiper.
This is better known as pastels.
In addition to this work in oils,
pa.stels, water colors, and real life
drawing, the Art Department also of
fers China pointing and a Commer
cial Art course consisting of lettering,
poster making, and advertising lay-
ovt. All of this work is carried on in
the front room except the China paint
ing, which is done in the back room.
Shall we take a look at the kiln?
(Step high over the finger paintings
which are lying on the floor to dry.)
Let’s look at some of the names on
them. There’s Frances Truitt, Sarah
Maness, Helen Gunter, Sara Brewer,
AHpne Sailings and maybe others.)
The kiln is a huge stove into which
the China is put after it has been
painted. All the china has to be
fried two or three times to obtain
just the right olor. Some beautiful
pieces have been painted by Jo Earp,
Ruby Braxton, Virginia Porter, Jennie
Lee Barham, Helen Newsome, Mar
garet Rawls, and Joyce Smith.
The enlarged copy of Terbarch’s
“C^^cert” is being painted by Eliza
beth Apple. “Lib” is the class’ high
est ranking student. Let’s not ov
erlook Willie Crutchfield’s lovely
landscape in oil or Kathleen Shof-
ner's “V'.by.” We just mis>3d Doris
King’s rural landscape which she took
home this week-end, but here are
Hilda Malone’s two Rose studies and
Virginia Porter’s Dogs.
Then outside near the Senior Oak
are Dale, Verna Lee, and Allene try
ing hard to get a sketch out of that
romantic old tree.
If you drop in late in the afternoons
you will meet some teachers from Bur-
• lington, Graham, and Haw River
working on china or drawing.
