Rhodes Publicity Editor Advertising Rates Upon Request THIS WEEK'S POEM By Sion M. Lynam a [§! ig NO WOMAN How empty was the world, but newly- born! How silent, and how lost to loveliness! For Crod had wrought, and then forgot to bless The creature in His image made at morn. The fairest things, new Eden to adorn, Were brought from Heaven, the Father to express. But Eden's roses rare were colorless, And man so newly made was yet so worn. No woman, and the task was incom plete; No woman, and what’ was was scarce worth while; No woman, and the stars no light would give; No woman, and there’d be no love- words sweet; No woman, and there’d never be a smile; No woman, and there’d be no life to live! I’t iTom;^ SOCIETY SPIRIT Wholesome, friendly rivalry is not to be avoided; but when that rivalry degenerates into a spirit unbecoming to gentlemen it be comes a detriment to the thing for wbich we are striving. It threatens sometimes to destroy 'The very purpose which we have in mind. In years past the rivalry be tween the boys’ societies has passed the stage of wholesome ness. At times it reached the point at which such spirit and tactics were displayed by both societies that it became repulsive to the level-headed, clear-minded men in the societies. Our better judgment has grad ually taken place of the more rad ical thinking of former years. This, together with other agen cies—the most notable of which are the Greek letter organizations of the college, has blended the spirit of the two societies to the extent that they now realize that both are striving to the same end —the building of a higher stand ard of literary work among the students of the college. As the time for the reception of new members draws near it behooves the members of both or ganizations to think of what they will have to offer the men who affiliate themselves with the so cieties : and to seek for a broader vision of the duties of a literary society in college life. It is not the duty of the societies to stir up strife among the students— but to strive for a spirit of co-op- eration among the students that they may the better develop them selves in their literary pursuits. SUCCESS OF FOOTBALL TO DEPEND ON EECEUITS for places on the line, and will make any one who beats them out work for tlie honor. Captain ‘ ‘ Jimmy ’ ’ Cameron is show ing his old form at guard. In fact, he is showing more speed and strength. However, it may be that he will have to be sliifted to center to fill the place left vacant by Frank Allston of last year. At either place Cameron will show up well. Among the new material there seems to be varying prospects. Lack of ex perience is the greatest hindrance of tlie new men, the larger part of them having had no football training at all. The following are some prospects that are showing up well. Probably two or three places on the regular varsity will go to new men this year, though at this time it is impossible to say who they will go to. Sides, of Spencer High, has been look ing good, but was hurt recently and will be laid up for some time. Harrell, from Suffolk (Virginia) high, is a likely candidate but lacks experi ence. Gants, from Lancaster, Pa., has been showing an exceptional amount of speed. He plays in the position of half-back. He is quick and experienced and looks like he is going to push his way into the regular line-up. Elwood Parkerson looks very good this year as an end prospect. “Shorty” Jones, of the Burlington High, although inexperienced, shows promise. Unfor tunately an injury to his ankle has put it on the “bum'’ and it may be sev eral days before he can back into prac tice. Sansone, of the Maury High school, Norfolk, Va., 185 pounds, is showing promise. “Alph” Brown, McPherson, Somers, Guy Barker and Jesse Barker are all doing good work, and it is ex pected of them to develop some “real stuff” before the season is over, al though they are inexperienced, having had no training in the game before this year. The students are anxiously watching tlie progress of the team and contem plating what the,, line-up will be for the first game of the season with Da vidson on next Saturday. FIRST HANDBOOK MAKES ITS APPEARANCE ON CAMPUS (Continued From Page One) in keeping a record of various things needful to be remembered. The book has also a number of pointed remarks, which lends a sense of humor to the whole and makes it an altogether read able little volume. Those compiling the book hoped that it would find a place of service in the life of the students, and it is believed that it will supply a real need in the Elon life. The book seems to have met the expectations of the compilers. It has already won for itself a place among the students. This is the first handbook issued for the students of the college, but its suc cess will demand many others a^ the years come and go. PERSONALS Listen, Billy For a faek, things of positive inter est keepn on happening. I got a little plan ami tliis is the way we will work it. You can’t or won’t come to college, so via corespondence I am going to let you in on a liberal education, free and grattis. You just listens to what I tels you and later on I’m going to give you a diploma with beautiful letters on it like’s on tombstones. Then you can walk in the Rockefeller Institute or somewheres another without knocking. For this lesson we has social activity. Slick back your hair and I’ll take you through a thrillen reception. I'm go ing to speak in the singular first per son which means it was me it hap pened to, so hold your hat. A reception is a great rollicken shin dig that you puts on your Sunday suit for. You walksin smiling-like and you comes out 3 hrs. later with a frozen grin hanging on your face. All us boys that’s in ‘“What’s What at Elon” is there. They rush you into a nice room and you shake and are shook by the fackulty. They smiles at you heart-warming-like ’stead of saying like usual, “Can’t you answer a single ? now and then just to be dif ferent?” This room is sure hot and wears ’ne out but I is thrilled by all the lau-Jh- ing and talking and we boys has cards with our names on our coat. So the fackulty says, “glad to see von. Diiin- beU,” and I says, “How ^id you i^uess it?” They is smart, Billy, for ordinary •people can’t read my writing. When I gets in the hall again I says to myself, this is where I rest, but no boy, they had 1800 girls lined up down the longest hall that ever was and some of them dazzled me so I shook hands twict. I was trying to be r.ice find I met one girl so tiny that I axes her where’s her mother and followed it up with what are you doing up so late? But there was no need to ramble on as I had made her mad the first time. The crowd begun breaking up into smaller crowds of 2 each and about 4? lookin on and laughin, so I picks out a red head blond w’hat matches my own complexern and we finds a seat on the porch and the polite conversashe:i begins. In one evening you is not sup posed to get moren a general impre? sion, like for instance. She lives in N. C., graduated with n flock of honors from the best ever high school. Is a little bit homesick. Likes her roommate, was in N. Y. City lasr June, been on 3 motor and one Ford trip this summer, is goirg to study hard cause Uncle Jake told her to, and the likes of that, ad infinitem, plus seven glasses of punch. Course now Billy she didn’t talk all the time. No boy, in the last half of the 42 minute she let me blate out “You don’t sav so” just after she told me a man fell outeu the 3d story winder in a hotel in her home town and then came in and axed the clerk for another key to his room as he had forgot to bring his along. Her imagination is volum- minus, w^hich is to say she never teches low gear no more after she gets excitel. 1 wants to tell her a whole lot about you but one has to be careful of his subjeck the first evening. We had music, too. Billy. No, I aint homesick or nothing but if you sees Herman Sander a walking home with my girl Annie or anything you wire me postpaid and I’ll stop my education long enough to teach him that it takes 2 to make a scrap and I’m 1% of that number. Write often, Billy, cause I’ve rented a box and Annie won’t. Yours thrivingly, DUMBELL SMITH. RELIGIOUS ACTIVITIES ORGANIZATION MEETS (Continued From Page One) for the support of the Japanese girl which the students of the college are undertaking to support. Rev. W. T. Scott, president of Christian Endeavor, then spoke for that organization. He was followed by the president of the Y. M. C. A., L. J. Bray. Mr. Bray stated that he hoped to arrange the Y. M. C. A. in such a way that it would reach and serve every man in college. Prof. Hook, speaking for the Sun day school, said that the Sunday school was the teaching agency of the Relig ious Activities Organization, and then outlined the courses of study which the Sunday school would offer for the students. Among these as “Life Prob lems and How Jesus Met Them,” “The Race Problem,” a course in missions, Christian Endeavor Expert, and Teach er Training, with some others. Prof. Hook urged the need of a careful study of the race problem, especially by the college students of the South. “He is here, and we have got to live with him,” he declared, “and we ought to understand him.” The meeting was well attended, and much interest was manifested in the programs discussed. The Religious Ac tivities Organization had its beginning a year ago, and the one year of experi ence has shown it to be of great value in the co-ordination and correlation of the various religious activities of the campus. By aid of it time enough was conserved to render a real service to the students and to the college com munity as a whole.
