The Maroon and Gold has on its
staff this year a member whose spe
cial duty is to gather news relating
to the alumni of the college. Space
vvill be devoted to such news. Thu
is one of the many reasons ever\
member of the alumni should be
subscriber to this paper. The old
alumni will not only be able to
learn things of interest concerning
the activities of the students and
[)rogress of the college, but through
the columns of the paper they will
be able to keep track of old friends
and classmates.
The college paper needs you and
you need the college paper—so, Old
Timers, why not subscribe?
One of the biggest steps toward
putting itself on a sound financial
footing has been taken by the Elon
Athletic Association in the form of
a College store. The place former
ly known as ‘‘Uncle Mike’s” has
been taken over by the College and
is being used by the Association to
sell such things as soft drinks,
books, stationery, and sporting
goods. A nice line of dry good
specialties is also carried.
^ Maroon and Crolcl takes this op
portunity to urge students to pat
ronize the College store. Evejry
penny of the profit goes to the sup
port of Elon’s Athletics. When
you trade with the College store,
you not only get your money’s
worth of goods, but, at the same
time, you have the satisfaction of
knowing that yoU are doing some
thing to help our teams which have
always been handicapped by thf?
lack of ade(iuate finances.
The store is doing a good busi
ness so far, and everything pointn
to a great success. Coach Corby
and the Association should be con
gratulated for adopting such u
^prooiising plan.
DOES THE BAND PLAY?
The BAND about whieh I am gohig
to tell you doesn’t have instrumeuts--.
horns, slide troinboncs, drums a^nd sucti
—but it does play. Jt draws music from
the hearts of men by the wondrous story
it tells. Wherever the sun shines it
goes, telling the story of the Christ to
every^people—to each in his own tongue.
There is a part of that BAND in Elou
—a part that grew from three to ten iik
membership last year. Think of it)
seven new lives for the K.ingdom of
God. Say, was not that a triumphant
march the BAND played? Music was
too sweet a thing for them not to share.
Now they want everybody to play with
them. The new Japanese girl in schoo!
offers.that opportunity; every student
can have a part in keeping her in col
lege.
Say, will it not be an anthem that will
thrill the skies, when all the stn Vi-^
play it with TTIE ST „ j. VOLiUN-
TEER BAND!

Dear Ma:
I am getting kinder homesick, but
don’t nobody have much sympathy for
me. One of the professors here says
there is three kinds of sickness that no
body fe&ls sorry for unless they have
that kind of sickness themselves. The
three kinds of sickness are: tooth-sicR-
ness, love-sickness, and home-sickness.
Just at present I have all three* kinds
of them sicknesses. The Sophomores
knocked three of my teeth out with the
buck-three paddle. A young lady named
Co-Ed broke a date with me Sunday,
and I want to go home so bad, I ca^
taste fried chicken. 1 feel like the fel
low in the funny paper that always
needs a friend by Briggs. But even if
there don’t nobody sympathize with me>,
I have 'some slight consolation—the
board of education the Sophomores used
is unfit for further spanking, being
splinters. The rats in Co-Ed’s hair ate
her paint box so she don’t look so pretty
no more-, and best of all, last night a
raiding party took me out to make an
attack on the hen-house line.
I have made a startling discover;?
since I came here. You know Pa al-
ways wondered w'hy ’twas that every
newspaper in. the country kept howling
about the paper shortage when all tlie
time he kept hauling pulp wood to that
paper mill in town. The mystery has at
last been solved. A1 that paper has
been brought up to Elon College and is
being used to print new regulations foY
the guidance of the student body. Yoi.
never saw so much good paper beinj,
used for one purpose in all your life.
It is being use-d for a good purposu
though—the students are all so ignor
ant they couldn’t get along without
them. Another good thing about these
regulations is the prizes offered for
lerning them. If you learn none and o^-
scTve none, you get a free trip home; if
you learn one-fourth of them and ob
serve one-fourth of what you learn, you
get an A. B. degree; if you learn one-
half and obsei;Ve one-half you get a Ph.
D. cregreej"it‘*you learn al lof them and
observe all of them, you w’in a free trip
to the Great Beyond. This world has no
place for such genius. The Dean -says
the best I can hope for is to win a free
trip home.
I don’t enjoy sitting down quite as
well as Pa said X uSed to. I’ll explain
when I have a chance to whisper in
your ear so the Sophomores can’t hear
me.
I am going out for football. I like
a football fine, but I don’t think Hiuch
of the way that head guy makes us slan.
it around. I think his name is Coach,
or something like that. He certainly i'-
a nice fellow; he says such nice com
plimentary things to me. He told me
the other day that he hoped I’d croak
—that is one of the hardest plays a fel-
low^^r^^ake and Mr. Coach keeps on
trying to t^ch me to do it as he thinks
I am best suited for it; but I am not
going to do any croaking until I get
onto the game better. If I ever do
croak, 1 bet you that Mr. Coach is go
ing to come up to me and pat me on the
back and thank me.
They had a faculty reception over at
the West Dormitory Saturday night.
had to shake hands with all the pro
fessors, their wives, and children. They
all seemed highly pleased at the privi
lege of shaking my paw. There were
more pretty girls over there than you
could shake a stick at. I fell deeply in
love with a big fat one named Is A Bell
Walton, but she told me I was as fresh
as a gre«n gourd. They served Punch
and Judy out on the back porch; I
drank Punch but left the little pieces of
Judy in the botton of my glass.
Tell Pa to send me ten cents. I want
to buy an ice cream comb for Thanks
giving.
These fellows around here certainly
are chummy. They pair off into pear-
ing parties. A pair went out last night
and brought in some pears. They ate
the pears and gave me the parings.

INGENUITY
I have seen some students apt and
bright who could pile up grades big ano
high; they can set wrong things aright,
can do almost anything and not half
try. Seldom do you see one studying
with might or main, nor is he a measly
grind; for he his knowledge does easily
attain with his Master Mind. Notbiiig
is too obscure or complicated in German,
English, or French; he knows it all—
modern and antiquated. Everything is
ft cinch. He calls on his fellow students
and pupils, w-ho are about to croak to
forget their studious scruples, for learn
ing is a joke. While I am studying my
math, preparing for a test, he incites my
wrath by declaring me a pest. He will
desert his studies, on the campus to
parade, a strange young man; and how
he ever makes a passing grade is more
than I can understand. But sureTy h©
is a wonder, the brightest fellow in
College; we see him here and yonder dis
playing a surplus of knowledge. This
“know-all*’ is always gay and cheerfui,
and his head with wisdom is replete;
listen, he will tell you an earful, ohT he
is hard to beat. But if from Ms hidde-n
erudition 1 the veil of obscurity pull, 1
find his mind ^dden of ambition and
in its place I see a lot of pretty -?
