geography section could locate Cam

that three fourths of the students
could tell within five thousand miles
of where it was.
He found that more than 1(¥)
students could not identify forty
states on a blank map of the United
States, and one wonders how Elon
students can talk or read intelli
gently of world affairs if they do
not know where the events are hap

but it is our duty as Americans to
stay informed.
plete data was lacking.
The Plavmakers failed to remain
active for long, and the Maroo-
•nnd Gold in the fall of 1934 carrie'’
a story of a reorganization for dra
matic activities. The stor>- stated
that "realizing the need of an ac
tive dramatic organization on the
campus, a group of students under
the direction of Miss Floyd ChUds
met in September, 1934, to reor
ganize the inactive Playmakers of
Elon College.”
The story stated that “at the
first year were Dick Kimball. 0'

-''rformance of 1934-35 came on

hree one-act plays was presented
'"he bill included Christopher Mor-
ley's “Tliursdav Evening,” Susan
and "The Valiant,” great one-act
tragedy by Hall and Middlemass
The Players also gave a com
mencement play in 1935, choosing
Sidney Howard’s famous comedy
“The Late Christopher Bean"
Tbson Play Presented
The Players were once more
under the direction of Miss Child-
for 193.5-36, and they chose Ibsen's
“A Doll House” for their first
show of the year. Outstanding in

'ad in yirevious performances of
r>''llv With A Past” and “Peg 0’
My Heart” and that she had a
'romin''nt part in “The Late Chris-
'’"her Bean.”
It seemed that dramatics at Elon
at that time were a cooperative
nroject, for the stories stated that
costumes for “A Doll House” had
been made by the Home Econom-
'cs Department, which was directed
at that time by Miss Laura How
3rd. A complete new set of scenery
had been made for the play by the
PJayers themselves, with the help
Al.red Apple, then the superin
tendent of buildings.
The review of “A Doll’s House
in the Maroon and Gold spoke with
praise of the work of two young
sters in the play, paying tribute
to "Patricia Hook, eight-year-old
daughter of Prof. and Mrs. A
Hook.”
On March 19. 1936, in Whitley
Auditorium, the Players presented
^ one-act plays entitled “Joint
Owners in Spain” and “Finders
Kwpers,” which were given favor
able reviews and described as char
acteristic of the fine work of the
^up. Miss Floyd Childs was still
directing the Players that year.

The charges are read, and the
'udent points out that no rule cov
ers these offenses. So is the stu
dent going to be fined or will he
get off?
If he is fined, he is getting a
h.idy deal in my opinion because
here are no rules covering the
■hargcs. But if he gets off. the
ther car operators are losing in
he long run.
Al the meeting yesterday, it was
irobably suggested to the Student
\ff.iirs Committee that the whole
jarking system be revised; that a
new type of registration form be
utilized, new sticker numbering be
used, new tickets be printed, and
above all, new rules be established
that will provide concrete grounds
for charges, centralization, and or
der instead of chaos.

ever. as the schedule now stands,
the first home games will be with
Carson-Newman and Catawba on
the third and fourth weekends in
October. The late season shows
home games with Newberry and
Lenoir Rhyne and battles away
with Western Carolina and Fred

The winter workouts, wliich were
slated to get underway on Tuesday
of this week, are expected to con
tinue throughout February and
through at least the first week in

ably be decided by how much winter
