REPRESeNTFD FOR UAT»ONAU ADVE»?TISINO National Advertising Service, Inc. College Publishers Rep, esentative 420 Madison Ave. New York. N. Y. CHICAGO * BOSTON • LOS ANGELES ’ SAN FRANCISCO FRIDAY, JANUARY 14, 1949 Member Intercollegiate Press PARTHIAN SHOT Within the next week another four months will have been swallowed by eter nity and another semester's battle will have been fought and won by the more diligent. It has been quite enjoyable these past months to be able to. express one’s views imhampered by either criticism or rebut tal, though we are sure that had tliese edi torials been read by more than a select few, there would have been much conflict between the editor and the proletariat. In retrospect: Early in the term, we mentioned the stu pidity of the destructive members of our society—the waterbaggers, the washing- machine vandals, and the thieves. Either the words were ignored or the culprits realized where they stood, for not one word was said in retaliation—anonymous ly or otherwise. And then we mentioned the tightwads who had so little foresight that they would not pay their student body dues. No ex cuses were made concerinng why they did not pay, even after the benefits were explained in full. Even today, nearly half the student body are slack in their dues. One of the thin,gs of which we are proud, and in which we would like to be lieve we had a hand, is the greater inter est that has been shown in student gov ernment. Attendance at governing bodies has become progressively better, and the students are beginning to have something to say at last. Another thing that delights us is the fact that the ciiow line bucking has dwin dled to an almost negligible minimum. However, there is still no valid excuse for a certain situation that continues to pre vail—that of the dining hall not preparing enough food for the entire student body. When a person must stand for nearly an hour at the end of a line, and then be shortstopped as he reaches his goal so that he must wait another half-hour, his morale begins to dwindle and bad tempers take over. Something can be done! Well, fret not, childrejijr-soon yoa will leave Elon after your tour of duty and find yourselves in the midst of a great and wondrous world. All will be delight ful—your every care will be banished, someone will protect and feed you, and that ever-present necessity, money, will flow into your hands unceasingly with a minimum of effort on your part. The good life is yours for the asking and the vicis situdes of college life will soon be forgot ten in the welter of future pleasures—Ah yes! Again let us ask, for those who remain, the support of the students in publishing this newspaper—reporters and writers are with a shovel By JOAN BOLWELL It’s a little late, but we wish each and all a Happy New year.

I drank it til I thought 1 had enough. I can’t remember how I got to bed. -^Baring. still needed desperately to relieve the pressure on the present staff—you have no idea of the joy experienced by the ed itors at the sight of a wealth of copy. And now we must part, my beloved, to the melancholy strains of the song of the swan, accompanied by the voice of the turtle and the articulate oyster. The grackle sounds his cry o’er the rooftops as we embrace in one more lingering farewell under O’Kelly’s massive arch. Ta-ta! When Monday morning came around to start classes, the condition of the stu dents on hand was nothing short of hilar ious. What can a body ao to deflate so compeltely in two weeks? The Dining Hall offers a new choice— take it or leave it. Dailey Frederick, a resident of East, was recently viewing his chances to transfer to another school as a freshman to keep from becoming an institution here. After weighing both sides of his argument he was quick to add: “Besides, with as many credits as I have, how can they refuse me?” Where did Jeff Davis get that hat? Harry Farmer and Davis had a little difficulty on the way back to school. Ap parently the bus company misplaced their luggage. After one look at that horse- blanket Farmer dragged out of his suit case, maybe it would liave been better for all had the gear remained lost. For a moment we thought that Elon had heavily favored Hanes last Thursday, the 7th. Good game anyway, guys. Zurlis and McClenny did a better job of refereeing the previous game. Every now and then we get a glimpse of Jerry Dominick as lie flashes by astride his scooter. Rumor has it that he is plan ning to drive it to his home in Philly in the near future. Dress warm, pal. It gets cold in them thar hills. Where does one go to shoot a respect able round of pool? That establishment in Greensboro is loaded with hoods. letters to the editor Dear Editor: As long as 1 have been at Elon there has always been the complaining of dif ferent students toward the things that go on about the campus. Every one has the right to express his or her opinion, so after being at Elon for two years I have chosen to speak my piece now. A certain head waiter in the mess hall wrote a very interesting letter to the edi tor about the conduct of the students. No one seems to have any manners or rais ing except the “Von Hoffman” around these parts, so I suggest we all go home and learn the three easy methods of re specting “humble servants.” I can’t blame the people for complain ing about the foo'd because I myseK have to trudge to the grill to get food (real food) for my faithful stomach which has taken such a beating. I don’t want to blame any one certain person for the way the mess hall is being run, because I have seen good food come from the kitchen. Why it can’t always be is still a mystery to me. Some people would say, “If you don’t like things as they are, why don’t you go home?” Sometimes I wonder, but I like it here and I hate to hear others talk about the place in a raw manner. Of course I know that a certain student has to stand up for the dining hall; he gets paid for it. If Mr. (I used the word loose ly) H. would improve instead of talk, and also mind his own business and let peo ple alone this world would be a much better place to live, and the dining hall would be better off. You, “VON,” have played football and unless you were brain and no muscle youi also got hungry, but we still find you in the position to get fat. After all, every one isn’t perfect, but to some people jthose with two left feet) you can't get it clear. Maybe it’s the muscle, I don’t know. What kind of world do we live in? You can’t even stand in chow line ahead of time without hearing remarks from those who are so bored with their fellow students. Do you really count that chew ing gum, or is it the flavor you’re inter ested in? I should like to close my rebuttal by saying: You serve the chow, keep the line moving, and no one will be insutled or em- 'barrassed, but maybe every one will be enlightened. Your Fellow Student, Ed. Watkins. Red Monroe, Gay Impel'sario Qf WCOG's "Night'Ow! Club," Okay With Elon Owls Monroe Spins The Platters From 1 1 :30 P. M. To 1 :00 A. M. Daily By HARVEY FOUSHEE “Greetings, gates! All you campus cuties and college cats— this is the old smoe. Red Monroe, bringing you this niglitly session of the Night Owl Club — music from 11:30 till 1:00.” Using this greeting^ Jolin “Red’' Monroe, better known as “the smoe,” opens each session of the Night Owl Club. It is heard each night over WCOG, Greensboro's newest ABC affiliate station. Red hails from New York City, born there May 21, 1923. He at tended school in New York and finished his college work at the Professional School of the Amer ican Theater of Dramatic Art. . While associated with the school, red studied under Dr. Eric Barnouw, who is now writer of the Theater Guild script. The smoe started radio work v/hen he was 17 — over WNEW, New York. Here he worked for Martin Block and his Disc Jockey show. Later he became the announcer for The Eddie Condon Show in 1945, and, before he finally wised up and came south, he did his talking though a typawriter while he handlea publicity for Stan Kenton, King Cole Trio, Sam Donohough and The RSvens. “Red” Monroe, shellac spinner fo album featuring the new ‘be-bop.’ In 1947, WCOG’s disturber of the peace struck out on his own to lend a hand in getting WFNS in- Burlington started. From there he moved to Greensboro to the 1320 spot on the dial with WCOG. In addition to his Night Owl Club, Red also handles “The Car nival of Music” show. This pro gram is sponsored by the Harvey West Music Store, where any re cording played by Red can be ob tained with a reasonable chunk of U. S. currency. Red’s Night Owl show affords him a cross section of his listen ers likes and dislikes. He is pro moting jazz, as only he can, with Dizzy Gillespie, “The Be Bop King.” His show is very informal, and Red has isued an invitation r Night Owls, proudly displays am to yours truly to be on his Friday night show. Smoe takes unto himself a; bride this year. She is Miss Marie Johnson of Reidsville. What this has to do with Be Bop and night owls we aren’t sure, but maybe a guy is getting hep when he falls. While his night show is a tele phone request show, Red swears that he will give preference to all cards postmarked Elon Col lege. Any combo currently boarding on-campus has an invitation to appear on his Saturday night shows when he strikes up the big jam session of the week. Drop him a line and go on over to the studio, which is next to the Caro lina Theatre in Greensboro. 1^ James Parker, Dot Jones Are Now Mr.-Mrs. James H. Parker and the for mer Miss Dorothy May Jones were married Saturday, Dec. 18, in an informal ceremony in Whit ley Auditorium. Dr. D. J. Bow den performed the double-ringf ceremony. A reception was held after the wedding at the home of Dr. and Mrs. Bowden. So now it's Dot and Jimmie Parker. / KAMPUS KROSSWORD Editor’s Note: Though the foregoing is not so pleasingly vituperative as the letters of Mr. Hoffman, it is indeed good to know that someone has been roused from his lethargy.
