FAGB T MAROON AND GOLD SATURDAY, 9BPTKMBER 21, 1948 Day Student Skctch'Eook Whatta crowd and whatta variety! —People who remind you of every thing from BiCtty Grable to Gravel Gertie, and Van Johnson to B. O. Plen- ay, compose what is commonly known as the Day Student’s Organization. Really, there is a wonderful crowd this year. It’s nice to see all the “old” ones back; and to all the n»w comers; we hope you will learn to love this place just as much as we do (that isn’t The Veterans Viewpoint By LOUIS AGRESTA VETS CLUB ADDS NEW MEMBERS With the ending of the spring quart er, the Elon College Veterans Club found It necessary to “revamp” and to rewrite a new constitution which would be adequate to the needs of expected new members. At the first comes “Natcherly”!) “Wally Mac” informed me that he ■wanted this to be good: I suppose he meant that I was to fill the entire space telling about him. Since he’s treasurer of this organization I guess it would be a good idea to get in his good graces. However, if he will look in Eddie Mulford’s entertainment col umn, he’ll find he’s already got a plug, and I’ll just leave it at that. Secretary of the Day Students is Max Neese. He’s the guy who likes Spanish so well; anyway, it has some thing to do with Spanish. He can tell you much more about it than I can. Helen Cobb, vice-president, a Religi ous Education major and is one of the sweetest people you could know. Maybe you think she’s quiet and per haps dignified; but when you know her, you’ll find that she has a great sense of humor—the kind that every one appreciates and envies. Remember last year when I asked if Lois were trying to worH up a case with “Casey?” Don’t you think that wai a good question? Confratulations! May you twe have the best of every thing. After one year’s absence, Marie Bry an is back with us. It’s mighty nice having you back, Marie. Dot Schowe and “Hubba Hubba’s” sister, Betty, have come to join us, too. Jack, “Peep-Eye," and Hal have de cided to be Day Students again. We really feel honored (???), you B. T. O’s. Wonder how Benton, Nancy, and Clegg feel about it. Don’t overlook Tommy and Carl Martin’s brothers, “Wes” and Wallace —^they’re characters; but so are B. E. Allred and “Baby” Porterfield. Kathy Young had a wonderful time at the University of Alabama this summer where she studied art; she met lots of cute girls (?). But she still thinks Elon is ALL RIGHT! After all, she’s back, and we re glad to have her. She’s treasurer of the Junior class, President of Elon Players, and lab instructor in fine arts. Dottie Lamm was telling me about the fun she had helping with the art at Old Mill Girl Scout camp this sum mer. Incidentally, she has another new man on the string. She’s a person you just can’t keep up wUh. Orchids to Jean and Jack—a mighty cute twosome! I’ve noticed that Faye and Jack are continuing with their diplomatic re lations. Her name is Faye Rickard, J. W. Before long the intramural sports will begin. Let’s try to make this the bei^ year we’ve ever had and let everyone know that the Day Students do exist. If you’ve ever tried to par ticipate in any kind of sport, when there’s to be a practice or game, come out and do your best. If you watot this to be a good col umn, do things and then tell us about them. This is for you and it’s up to you as to whether or not it’s worth while. Love, DALE CO-EDS! WE HAVE MOCCASINS, LOAFERS AND SADDLES club meeting of the fall term, Tues- something that’s hard to do—it just day, September 10, the constitution M-.*/. »,- w It Tef^S Bud thirty of the new Vets promptly became members. The constitution sets as the club’s chief purposes (1) the fostering of a spirit of unity and accord among Elon Veterans, (2) the promotion of an active social program, (3) keeping the Veterans informed on all matters per taining to their interest, local and national, and (4) the aiding of club members in solving personal prob lems. To serve these purposes, the or ganization revolves about seven per manent committees; Executive, pub licity, finance, membership, com plaints, problems, and entertainment. The success of the club under the new constitution depends on the amount of co-operation given by the Vets themselves, and, if the first meeting can be considered a sign, a great year lies ahead. Officers of the club this year are; Wayne Taylor, president; Warren Burns, vice-president; Jimmy Rob erts, secretary; and Bobby Harris, treasurer. 7. i^TERTAINMENT W WORLD SIX MEN in this picture of Elon Vet s softball team went on rtip to Con necticut (see story on page 4). Shown above are, left to right: (Kneeling) Atkins, Hollander, Harris,, Mulford; (Standing) Burlingame, Nance, Ays- cue, McClenny, Griffin. Atkins, Nance, and McClenny couldn’t make the trip. ' Personalities BAND INTRODUCED Fffst social event sponsored by the Vets Club this quarter was last week’s “Friday the I3th Party,” which in troduced to the campus Bill Williams and his_ new dance band. A large crowd attended, and the band made a big hit. Besides Bill, who plays a trumpet, the ten piece band includes Haley Vickery, Dave Walker, Jimmy Riley, and Everett Daniels on the saxo phones; BiU Stafford and E. C. Qualls, trumpeteers; Jack Snyder, drummer; Hay Reynolds, guiftarisft; and Mike Copeland, pianist. Williams and Lib Johnson do the vocalizing. The band theme is “Aflame.” POETIC JUSTICE, PURE AND SIMPLE “It happens once in a million,*’ said a student genius. Another student purchased an auto above ceiling. In fact, way above ceiling. On being “razzed” by his friends at his mistake, the poor guy went to the OPA to check on the ceiling price of the automobile in question. The re sult—the seller has to refund $900 to the purchaser. I wonder if it was one of those oddities of fate or a planned job? COMPLIMENTS OF COXE Mary Baxley Coxe, a smiling, brown-eyed brunette, five feet, two and a half inches tall from Wagram (it boasts one big stop-light). North Car olina, is a senior majoring in Busi ness Administration and English. The long, low, SOUTHERN DRAWL is the real thing, because she was born in Clio, South Carolina, “a long time ago. ” She has “no nicknames, except the one Verdalee Norris tacked on me —‘Cow’—because she thinks I look like Elsie, the Borden Cow.” “I like good stuff to eat, oh you know; Steaks, fried chicken, lemon pie, and apples; also attractive, intel ligent men! the ratio of men to girls around Elon; unusual clothes 4^d peo- I pie; parties; friendly people; ELON; the clean cut look; football games with big chrysanthemums to wear; working with shoes off.” And she is a great Johnson’s Baby Powdey fan. “Oh I hate narrow-minded people, grits, and leaky foimtain pens.” When Mary graduates in November she wants to do personijgl work. Her one great ambition is to always be happy. She is a member of the Tau Zeta Phi Sorority, Pi Gamma Mu, Delta Psi Omega, and the‘S. C. A. Cabinet. Mary was advertising manager of the Phipsicli her freshman year, and is serving as editor this year. For the past two years she has been business manager of the Phipsicli and the Ma roon and Gold. Last year she was treasurer of the Student Body, and for the past three years has served on the Council. Also during the past four years Mary has found time to work in the office of Field Secretary, where she has become known as one of the most obliging and helpful per sons on the campus. Just ask her to do something and you’ll see what we mean. Last but not least are two initials, Ramond and George, that fit in some where—but where? ELON SODA SHOP since tliat eventful day of birth ‘some’ years ago in the village of Trollinwood which to Bob is "a suburb of Haw River, N. C. When questioned about his special likes, “Romantic Robert” reminded us that this was to be published, and was quick to pass up the subject of that “dark-haired like” we see him stroll ing about the campus with so much! His other likes appear to be mechan ics and religion. Testifying to his me chanical inclinations is the fact that Bcb worked and studied as a machin ist for several years before entering Elon. The year 1942 was spent work ing in the Physics Department of Duke University. Bob, who was president of the stu dent body at Burlington High School in his senior year, came to Elon in 1943, and ever since he has engaged wholeheartedly in every kind of ac tivity. Among the organizations on the campus which have greatly appreciat ed his presence have b^en the Min isterial Association (he was president tor the 1944-’45 year). Dr. Johnson Lit erary Society, Elon Players, and Stu dent Christian Association. At pres ent he is president of the S. C. A., which he served as secretary last year. Bob’s future plans are wrapped up in seminary study at Alexandria, Va., where he will prepare for the mission ministry. Just how sincere Bob Graham is can be told by his reply to our ques tion about his special dislikes: “I just don’t believe I have any of those things." By ED MULFORD For the benefit of all the newcom ers we repeat our praise of the “Jive at Five” program on WBBB each aft ernoon at 5 o’clock. The program is run by an Elon student, one Wally Mac, who has enough pep, vitality and all-around air personality to make him one of the best Disc Jockeys in the country. You’ll like his show—it rocks! Best record of the month is a Les Brown coupling, with “Lover’s Leap” on one side and “High on a Windy Trumpet” on the reverse. The latter is a sh^piece and well done. The gals are hollering about Art Lund’s’ vocalizing with B. G. His “Slue Skies" rendition is a big hit. Woody Her man’s Herd has another wild one just off the presses at Columbia: “Blow ing Up a Storm.” Boyd Raeburn, a sensatiiJh lately comes out with an en tire new album of originals on Jewel records. Raeburn’s outfit tries hard er than any other to accomplish some thing new in jazz. Next issue we inaugurate our band popularity contest, in which you, Elon students, do the voting; so watch for it. Manager of a Greensboro theatre is planning to start stage shows featur ing bands. Already has contacted agencies of the following big names: Tommy Dorsey, Stan Kenton, Glen Gray, Randy Brooks, Jimmy Dorsey, Charlie Bapnett, Charlie Spivak, Duke Ellington, Hal McIntyre, Buddy Rich, Count Basie, Kay Kyser, Ray McKin ley, King Cole Trio, Billy Butterfield, and many others. This is a scoop for the Maroon and Gold—watch it come out in vicinity newspapers in a few weeks. . / ’ In the movie world, all those who love dogs will go for “Courage of Lassie;” those who like to laugh will laugh at “A Night in Casablanca,” the Marx Brothers’ latest, and at Danny Kaye in “The Kid From Brooklyn.” Mystery lovers went for book “The Big Sleep,” by Raymond Chandler, in a big way, but the film, thou^ fast moving, is too confusing. Bogart is the tough detective in this one. Last-minute plugs: Ray McKinley’s grand record of “Sand Storm” on Ma jestic, and Bobby Sherwood’s band, which may be down this way soon. RECONVERSION That furor over In South Dorm tha other day was caused by a “green” freshman who approached a group of fellow World War II veterans and asked: “Where can I find the officer*’ quarters?” COMPLIMENTS OF SUGGESTION WASHINGTON CAFE BXmLINGTON, N.
