Now is the time for all good men. Of course! It is always the time for all good men. The question is what about the good men, now that it is the time? Naturally, it is always the time, but let us consider \ the words “good men!” What might we say makes “good men?” Obviously the answer is being good. Although some times women try to make good men. Now that we have disposed of the “men,” let us dwell on the adjective “good.” What is “good?” This is a rela tively difficult thing to ascertain. We sometimes hear the word used negatively. For instance; Good ’n’ lousy, Good ’n’ dirty, etc., etc. This makes it difficult to properly define good, and it is imperative that good be defined in order to know what we mean by “good men” in the above phrase. Perhaps we are taking an incorrect tack when we separate “good” from “man!” The phrases “my good man,” and “he’s a good man” lend substance'to this line of thought. On the other hand it is possible, or at least probable,' that all things being equal, now is not the time for all good men. If this be the case, what are we to do with all good men if this is not the time? Statistics show that there is a surplus of women and a shortage of men; so it would seem to indicate, previous conjecture not withstanding, that this is the time. It also substantiates the aforementioned prop osition that some women try to make a good man. It has also come to our atten- tin that some men try to make a good wo man. We have often wondered why we have never heard the phrase, “Now is the time for all good women.” Before we leave this line of reasoning, let us not omit the word “time” from our the confederate colonel By TREBOR WRONG We have heard that the mobile X-ray unit that was on the campus recently made some startling discoveries. Seems that the lads from Carlton House and Oak Lodge showed 90.0 proof on their nega tives, and that the “picture” taking was in the nature of a true or false test as far as the girls were concerned. Collegiate Definitions A quiz is a three-hour exam which you are supposed to finish in fifty minutes. — — ^ Candid Cartoonist Covers Campus A pop quiz is a sneaky device used by a professor to find out if you have done your assignment. Unfortunately he always finds out. A book report is designed to make you read a book. If you ‘see the right movies, you can usually make out all right. Class cuts are like money. Those who need them the most never have enough of them. Chapel, Sunday School and Church are like castor oil. They’re supposed to be good for what ails you, and you have to take them in regular doses. The Dean’s list can be desirable or un desirable. It all depends on which list your name appears. Money is something you either owe or pay out, but never have long enough to discover whose picture appears on what bills. We wonder if the pornographic pocket books will ever take the place of French post cards. The henpecked husband is a fellow who made a Miss-take. * * ♦ A bunch of the boys were whooping it up at the Elon College Grill. Not a soul in the crowd had a nickle; so the music box was still. The Cola Kid sat in the corner, wrapped up in o cokey dream. And the rest of the campus spendthrifts just sat reading magazines. The place held a deathly silence in spite of the blazing lights. But nothing was expected to happen—it was Elon on Saturday night. conjectures. This brings to mind many enticing thoughts. “My Time Is Your Time,” all the time in the world, “time after time,” and “Time to retire.” Taking the last thought as a cue, because my time is not your time, and you probably do not have all the time in the world; we shall take this time to retire. If you decide that this is the time for all good men to, if you can determine what comprises a good man and have the time to; go ahead. % r ■Bi L “THE GIRLS GET DOWN TO HARD TRAINING” “JUST ANOTHER USE FOR A PENCIL” // f/ ( “THE EDITORIAL STAFF IN CONFERENCE SESSION “WHY THE PLAYERS APPRECIATE DR.
