The Davidsonian laments editor ially the fact that “the modern col lege student seems to consider his books a matter of secondary impor tance, which should occupy but lit tle of his time and thought.” In other words that lively college pa per disapproves of our favorite motto: “Never allow studies to in terfere with college duties.” Ofttimes we feel things but just can’t express them. In the edito rial columns of the current issue of The Carolinian we find that which expresses our thoughts perfeetly- “The ivy of tradition is a beautiful thing, but we must keep it trimmed lest it keep out the sunlight of prog ress. ’ ’ College traditions are grand old things of which to boast, but w'e are now living in the twentieth century, the time when initiative counts, the time when originality counts, so we must be up and doing. This is a timeln which we must outlive traditions and establish precedents. When Abe Lincoln was a boy the holding of slaves was traditional. How many of us today would uphold such barbarousness! It is absurd to think of it, and yet, a few years hence some of our col lege traditions will appear to us to be as foolish as slave-holding was barbarous. Maroon and Gold, Elon College, N. C.

While the song is not a snappy (ine^ such as some few schools have for athletic events, it is a beautiful song, expressing in language wiiich belongs only to the poet, the beautiful sentiment of our college, and will, we believe live in the hearts and minds of Elon's sons and daughters as the expression ef their love for their college and classmates.)

I ce-rfainly did stick a fellow here by the name of Mule Bray. He is the fel low that tried to collect radiator fees.

I was just fooling with him anyhow. They certainly , do boss a fellow around here. The other night they had me running all over town looking for the football club.

STUDENTS For Cleaning, Pressing, Altering and Dyeing : : CALL Boston Tailoring Shop Phone 608 W The Greensboro Daily News car ries on its sporting page an item to the effect that all the merchants in a certain North Carolina town have boycotted all Virginia firms on ac count of a baseball dispute. There may be things underneath that jus tify such action, but on the surface this appears to be the poorest kind of sportsmanship. However, that is no argument of ours. What we wish to talk about is a similar kind of picayunishness that exists here at our college. There are those here who never stop to consider the relative im portance of things. They forget that “class spirit” means good-na- tured rivalry and “society spirit” the same thing. They seem to think that athletic games are played in order that they may yell “rotten decision”. As a matter of fact they are played in order for you to .show your opponents what good sports you are. Our purpose in college is to broaden our minds to the point Afhere we can se^ both sides of every question; to acquire enough sense of humor to know that we can’t possibly always be right and the olher fellow always wrong. Some of us lack a whole lot of having ad vanced this far. We can see every body’s faults but our own. Our class is the only one, our socle^^ is the only one, our faternity is The only one. Those who are members of another organization of any feind are incapable of common ue- ceucy! Now, it is all right to be loyal. Ill fact it is a good thing to be loyal, but never allow loyalty to drive YOU into fanaticism. You can be loyal to your own and still see the good in the other fellow’s. The trouble is that some of us should be ill the hospital having a two-by-four removed from our eyes instead of worrying over the tiny hay seed in the eyes of a brother. FINANCIAL BULLETIN Elon, Sept. 23.—Trading in the stock market here today was characterized by a vigorous run on “radiator fee” futures. Bray bought heavily as the buying movement attained broader di mensions. “Radiator fees” featured the deal ings of the day, but the demand for “Lyceum tickets“ were sufficiently large to strengthen the impression that various bull pools have reentered the market. “Pe-w rentals” at one time dur ing the day gave “Lyceum tickets” keen competition. Not many sales re corded in the latter. THAT FEELING OF BEING WELL TONSORED IS AC QUIRE BY ALLOWING US TO DO YOUR WORK. We cater to the “co-eds” os well as to the boys.

Sept. 29, 1921 Dear Ma: I have been getting along about as well as could be expected of a fellow who has three hours of work unde-r Horse Whicker. But I had an accident the other day and it all happened on account of one of them faculty rules I wrote' you about. The rule says that a fellow can’t smoke on the campus— (campus means the ground extending from Puck’s house to Horse’s) Well, I found, a cigarette duck about Va inch long, and climbed a tree to smoke it, so T wouldn’t be on the campus. About the time T got it lit and was puffing away peacefully and was thinking about that old song you used to sing to me w^he-n T was a kid about “Rock a-bye baby in th& tree top” something hap pened. I felt a sting in the top corner of niy I'ight ear, and at the same time heard the report of twenty-two rifle. 1 looked around and saw a Senior by the name of Murray with liis gun in his hand. He bad mistaken me for a squirrel, and was trying to get me for liis breakfast. Now, T shouldn’t have been surprised if a squirrel had mis taken me for a nut, but for a nut to mistake me for a squirrel is beyond all comprehension. Well, while I was sitting up there rub bing my ear, a fellow named Atkins that does all the key-holing for the college came up and started to cut the tree down. He must a thought I was a ’possum. 1 said to him: “Woodman, woodman, spare that tree Touch not a single root, The one who thinks I’m ’possum cuts The one, a squirrel, doth shoot.” I was certainly up a tree. But fin ally I got the old fellow to leave. Then I came down with the conclusion that its too risky to smoke tobacco that’s up a tree. They had a little football game here the other day and if that happens again everybody here is going to die of squeal- ingitis. Every time one fellow in the game would hit anotiier one, instead of the fellow that got hit saying any thing, all the fools in the grandstanc* would howl like something was killing ’em. They didn’t huve to yell for me, though. Mr. Coach thought so much of me that he gave me the- best job on the team. All 1 had to do was carry water to the fellows that did the hard work We had one fellow on oyr team that did so much better than everybody else tha*- they made- him play with his eyes shut. Mr. Coach says he is going to buy him some blinds so he won’t have to bother about shutting his eyes. This fellow is named Allstom (ach) ,cause he eats so much. I am pretty sure now that I have fell in love with a girl here. She- is right fat, because every time she sits down'l notice that the chair gets bow-legged But T don’t reckon she weighs no more than you and me and Pa all put togeth- e^r. She certainly is sweet. She is so sweet that, if I were honey, T wouh» I feel ashamed of myself. Mr. Coach I thinks she is too big. The other day 1 was speaking to her down in front oi You can get your Kodak supplies at The College Store. DR. .J. H.
