The Veterans
Viewpoint
by MIRIAM McKINNEY
and
AL BURLINGAME
DID YOU KNOW—
That no Veteran is denied the op
portunity of enhancing his education
under the G. I. Bill of Rights merely
because he doesn't happen to have a
high school diploma? In North Car
olina there are high schools, junior
colleges, and senior institutions which
already have established an educa
tional program to prepare such Vet
erans for college and vocational train
ing.
That Bill Claytor threatens to
reenlist if he has to take another
course under Miss Hardy? He
says she’s working his fingers to
the bone.
That Ace Harrell, Tommy Burton.
Marion Chase, Floyd Bruce, Howard
Black, and Owen Tyler deserve a hand
for their efforts on behalf of the Vet
erans Club Canteen, when it made its
debut the night of the E. C. T. C.
games? That drinks went like wild
fire, and that the Canteen expects to
obtain a greater quantity of cokes,
pcpsi, and the like for all remaining
games? That Wayne Taylor is the
financial genius behind the Canteen?
You should see his perfectly kept sgt
of books.
That fand perhaps we ought not
mention it) the Elon Veterans basket
ball team has lost three games—to the
date of this writing—in as many
starts? Dropped a close 29-25 nod
to Plaid Mill of Burlington in the
E. C. T. C. preliminary; then a 46-33
verdict to the Cameo quintet in B-
Town; and last Saturday at Greens
boro, a 47-31 decision to the Prox
imity Y. M. C. A. The brightest side
to the gloomy picture tlius far has
been the sparkling offensive work of
IJnk Howard, Wayne King, and Ed-
ie Mulford, and the great defensive
play of Perry Ayscue, Also pitching
in for the Vets have been Jimmy Rob
erts, Ed Carson, A1 Burlingame, Bill
Welch, Johnny Hill, Marion. Chase,
Calvin Milam, and James Seymour.
The gang vows they'll win a game
before the week is out! (If they don't,
it won't woi-ry them—they’re playing
for the fun of it.)
That Elon is one up on the Universi
ty of Oklahoma? The latter's Veteran
organization has only one girl mem
ber. We've got two!

time later this was shortened to just
"Bill,” and so it is today after three-
and-a-half years with the Army in
England and Ireland; a discharge; and
a return to Elon to continue his stud
ies as a sfenior.
Sports seem to be his chief topic
of conversation—he likes ’em all, and
some day hopes to be a coach or
physical education instructor. With
a pet peeve against the Army -tn gen
eral, he dislikes sweating out lines
(no mention of what kind of lines),
and thinks that the well-dressed man
of 1946 wears anything except G.

WITH IDA MARIE PARKER
Poems for a Son with Wings. By
Robert Peter Tristram Coffin. New
York; The MacMillan Company.
“You who were so tender and fair
I have lost now to the air
Little son grown tall! I speed
You on your high way to sow seed.”
So tender yet simpS? are the ideas
expressed that the Springfield Re-1
publican says “they are seasoned by
a wide-eyed reverence and a residue
of thought that lingers after the page
is turned.” i
Beauty of language is a disting-
ushing characteristic of this poetry. |
No matter if the little son has just
received a new drum or the older
son wings to be a fighter pilot the
picture drawn is always clear and
beautiful.
Coffin’s own boyhood seems not to
be forgtten when he speaks of the
little boy eating apples from a tree:
“IAj ate apples fast so there would
be
More apples in his overalls than
boy.”
The religious touch found in many
of his poems is not the kind that most
v.ill turn aside. The author sees “the
glory of the Lord of harvest in the
■farmer’s big hands as the man sits in
church.”
All of the usual farm animals are
lalked about in this collection of
poems. Perhaps the deepest expres
sion concerning them comes when
speaking of the ease with which the
spider flies and in wishing
"... that we on our new wings
could always be sure of things.”
For the love of nature the charm
of winter is expressed thus in visual

months of hearts and lace—the Inquir
