MAROON AND GOLD AND
YOU
There can bt nothing more
pleasing to the editor and staff of
a pa])er than to add to its con
stituency new readers ; not mere
ly readers, but enthusiastic sup
porters.
Virtually every student of Elon
in the past has been a loyal and
enthusiastic foHn\i-pr and adher
ent of his or her college paper.
This same spirit that has charac
terized Elon in all its activities
has already begun to manifest it
self among the newly enrolled stu
dents. \^’e can determine their
attitude and spirit b_\- the vim and
vigor with which they have al
ready tackled the work before
them. This is appreciated.
The one thing to be emphasized
at this time is the fact vhat Ma
roon and Gold is each st^udent's
pa])er: not the paper of the stafi^,
not the paper of the faculty, not
the paper of the class upon which
falls the responsibility of select
ing the staff, but it is the paper
of every individual student of
Elon College. It is the official or
gan ■ and mouthpiece of the stu
dent body. If you fail to read
Maroon and (lold each week you
are failing to support a part of
your own self. You are a student
at Elon and the college publica
tion is for you—it is about you—
it is a part of you.'
THE SPIRIT OF ELON
Some things are perceptible—
others are imperceptible, intangi
ble. We only can feel them. There
is a sjiirit at Elon that truly can
be placed in both cla.sses. This
spirit is acti\'e: it manifests itself
in every activity tiiat constitutes
a part of wholesome college life.
Whether in the classroom or on
the camjius—whether on the ath
letic field or in the forensic field—
whether in social relatiors or bus'-
ness relations. th'Te pre\a'ls a
spirit of co-operation, a spirit c'f
respect, a spirit of love and loy
alty to the great cause for which
we are working—the making of
better and nobler men and wo
men.
There are manv traditions of
which we become tired, and which
thre; '^en to shut out the sunlight
of ]ii!gress. But the tradition fif
Elon spirit shall ever live. It
shall ever be a real, true, active
principle.
To the students who have en
rolled with us this year for their
first time, we want to pass on the
spirit of Elon. We want to make
it a part of their life as it is a part
of the life of every old student
and alumnus. We want it to live
with them as it has with us, and
as it has with those who have
gone before us and helped make
the way for nobler and greater
achievements.
We welcome the new students
to Elon. And in seeking some
thing to offer them to make their
college career happier and more
successful, we find nothing more
suitable than the “spirit of Elon.”
'I his is rightly theirs. So with a
feeling of love and fellowship we
share it with them.

social stationery—including that
with college and society seals—at

TO WELCOIVIE NEW GIRLS
Misses Coghill and Adams At
tend Summer Conferences
at Blue Ridge
Tlie Y. W. 0. A. girls are on the
Ilill again, busy meeting trains and
welcoming new students. This organ
ization begins its work before school
opens and er.rrios out a definite pro
gram during the year.
Miss Victoria Adams, undergraduate
representative on the cabinet, spent
the summer at Blue Ridge attending
lectures and study classes in Y. W.
(’. A. work. Miss Pattie Coghill, presi
dent, spent ten days there during Stu
dent Y. W. C. A. Conference. The
young ladies appear very enthusiastic
ov:'r the work nt Klon ^or thiJ^ yr»f'r,
hoping to j)Ut sonie of the ideas gained
at Rlue Ridge into practice. Tlie As
sociation is on a better working basis
than in former years because every
lepartnient of the work is better or
ganized.
Their very full program includes:
special weeks for health, prayer, bet
ter music, pageants, hikes, community
service, arrangement of attractive news
bulletin boards, social activities, cabi
net study courses, and weekly Sunday
•vening Trieetiiigs.
Kor the present a Y. W. C. A. room
will be fixed in West Dormitory for
reading, study and writing. It is hop
ed tliat in tlie near future Elon will
liave a Y\ W. hut w'ith room for its
various departments of work. Work
has already begun towards this end.

Listen, Billy
>' >! >! >' >] >' >' >1 >■ M >: >
Well, old timer^ I said I would write
to you, and here is where we start.
It w’as nice of you and the girls to
be down at the train to see me leave.
Say, didn’t vv’e have a great w’allop-
ing old time in high school? I never
knew I had been to such a great A
Xo. 1 high school until I heard the
bunch here telling of theirs; and then
I lit in and told them birds so bliug-
ed much about ours that now’ I be
lieve it m\sclf. That shows that boost
ing pays. I think more of our school,
and most of the other bunch have
quit talking.
The trains are running so fierce that
I thought everyone else would have
graduated before I even got here.
Changed trains tw’ice and engines about
=ight times which made me about nine
hours late. But you've heard of me,
Billy. I don’t worry. I spent the
long liours eating salted peanuts and
drinking ice water.
Arriving here at Elon w’as more like
the return of old Mike Faucett to
Dobsouville via fiivver. They had
about 2 acres of yelling, giggling, ex
cited boys and girls cluttering up the
statiou and tracks. Educated and ex
cited, thinks I. Course I knew^ they
was having the big pow w’ow for me,
but I never lets on and finally they
thinks I hadn't come and after much
kissing of girls by girb and hand
shaking in general they most all goes
back over the lot tow’ard the build
ings. I could see, Billy Boy, that
they was disappointed cause 1 hadn’t
come, and was making merry to keep
from thinking about me. While I
didn't w’ant any fuss made over me,
specially by the boys, still I guess I
should have hollered, “Its Me” or
mebbe something comic so they would
of took me in, cause I felt kinder
s range. Guess ii was esiting trie I'ea
nuts.
But some of them noticed that
something must have slipped for I
wasn’t standing on my head or ex
pressing joy via my face like the old
timers that had come back to splash
in the fountane of Xolidge. One of
the fellows who the girls said w’as
handsome took me in hand. Im a
handful aint I, Billy? Jlis name w'as
toads or roads. There -was nothing
j)ressing me so I soon got mixed up
in the jamborees that the crowd held
wiierever they m't. I met about 2000
fellow’s and girls. I have forgot al
ready all but one, and his is a prac
tical name. His name was dollar, I
w’ish I could see more of his kind.
Thats a joke. Billy.
One of their clubs here aint really
a club its a }ialdle and the one I
saw had a twen>y-five on it. I tried
to guess what that was for but they
said it wasn’t no. guessing contest and
they would be glad to tell me. They
did, Billy, They sure did. If that
was 25's liorsepower you’d need slow
music when the class of 1909 got hold
of you.
But, Billy, 1 's))Ose this is all yiddish
to you, cause you wouldn *t come along
and I cnnt write all I've seen, heard
or felt since I came to collcge.
Having dug up the Unabridged cata
logue I begins checking up on var
ious items mentioned, and everything
it says is here is here. They wasn't
quite accurate though for Ive found a
stuffed eagle in the museum and a
bag of water in the air that I think
wasn't catalogued.
ITou saw’ in the picture paper tliis
summer some of the buildings. They
have many of them, but I can’t write
down in no half liour what they have
been centuries in putting up. Every
thing here has a story to it and I’ll
tell them all to you as the days roll
by if my skedule is not too long, Ive
signed up twice to take everything on
the list and then some guy tells you
to take something else as its so easy
and the prof. is so nice. etc. They
want me to take English. Now’, Billy,
you know’ I know English for thats
w'hat you and me have been talking
all our lives. So I think I ’11 take
something here that I havent know’n
all my life like football or sighcology.
Well, Billy, they are going to put
out the lights and I must hurry and
finish this and pile all the furniture
against the door so they can’t get in
and knock me for a row’ of tomb
stones. After the first killing they
allow’s you to go around and w’eep at
the other boys funerals.
Cant write much about the fackulty
yet as none of them has invited me
out to dinner and I wants to give you
a good impression of them. However, i
I notice, Billy_, that the nice fat ones :
eat at home and the slimmer ones in |
the dining hall.
Well good bye for awhile and say,
Billy, I w’ant you to come and visit
me when I am some kind of officer in
the club I mentioned, so’s that I have
authority to entertain you.
Y'ours as always before,
Oumbell Smith.
