THIS WEEK’S POEM
By Sion M. Lynam
H B 8
THE WAYS or YOUTH
Tlie ways of youth are moonlit ways
Soft silvered over;
The sweet night sounds and scents are
known
To every lover.
There is no foul nor fair in all
The varied weather,
Jf two. just twOj are left by earth
Alone together.
The ways of youth are moonlit ways,
Sw’eet flow’er scented,
And naught of yesterday is by
Today lamented.
He lives and loves the radiant hues
Of his fair bubbles;
He walks his moonlit mays nor knows
Of old earth’s troubles.
The ways of youth are moonlit ways,
By passion fretted,
But pain, scarce seen above life’s rim
Is silhouetted.
Soft silvered ways, sweet sounds an-l
scents
Will be departed
£re long, and heavy years will leave
Him broken-hearted.
THE NEGRO PROBLEM
have been received for explana
tions of the work and photographs
of the workers and the organiza
tions in their field.
One of the most popular study
courses arranged by the Religious
Activities Organization is the
study of Negro Life in the South.
We are beginning to grasp a
fuller realization of the real rela
tions that exist between the white
man and the negro. The negro is
here to stay, and we must adjust
ourselvse to the circumstances
and “make the most of it.”
There is an inherited prejudice
among the people of the South.
This makes it doubly hard to ap
preciate the relations that neces
sarily exist between the two races.
The negro touches us in our daily
life; his sanitary conditions af
fect us; his intellectual standing
plays an important part in our
life; and his moral standard will
affect us according to the trend
which it takes. There remains
but one course for us to pursue to
correct the present conditions.
This is a deliberate, dispassionate
study of the racial problem from
a sympathetic standpoint. It re
mains that only trained men and
women are capable of this; it re
mains that the colleges of the
South must face the problem, es
pecially the denominational col
leges. No other section of the
country can solve our problem:
the task is for us alone.
The work of the class pursuing
* this study is advancing favorably.
Under the leadership of Profes
sors Hook and Everett plans are
being formulated for research and
welfare work in addition to the
study of the text-book and the
weekly lectures. No better and
more able leaders could have been
chosen than Professors Hook and
Everett. And Elon and the Re
ligious Activities Organization
are to be commended for the lead
they are taking in this work.
The w'ork has already gained
considerable notice. Requests

Hints For Freshmen
Step out, old evergreen, and make
yourself know'n. It peps things up and
you’ll get your reward.
When you and an upperclassman
meet at a door, go through first. No
old man wants you seeing whether his
cars are washed or not as he precedes
you.
White trousers reinforced with lea
ther are all to the rage.

Health Talk
During the present wet season it is
well to keep the dust out of your nos
trils by walking on the grass or rail
road. A Solutoin of tank water and
C. P. H2S thrown over the left shoul
der will bring prompt relief. Frat men
will do well to avoid cane bottom chairs
during convalescence.—Academic An-
aesthatizer.
Listen, Billy
Beyond doubt you are the mogul’s
own idea of a good student. You nev
er asts ?s, talk back, or snore when
you ought to be taking notes.
This week we takes you into a liter
airy society. Here there are 2 of them
for men and boys. I’m going to give
you all the inside workins except, be
ing secretsj they is written down ad-
versus which means what ain’t is and
what is never could have been.
I’ve been working hard at studying
trying to break even on my tuition,
but last week the fellows comes in
flocks trying to get me into the Pom-
Pom society and when they wasn’t
with me there was herds of others in
viting me to sniff the ether generated
by the Toot-Toot society.
And lastly in order to make study
ing a little more than a joke I draws
straws and elects myself a Pom-Pom.
We liave programs namely like this:
On Monday night the bell rings and
we most all goes into our liall and car
ries on gossip until the Head High Ga
zabo comes climbing up back of the
elevated tables plus his escort. They
slams on the dignity and we seats ou:*-
sevles and listens to maybe this: An
original short story w’^hich is very long
by Senators Woody and then some re-
clamated humor by h. Lee Scott. Some
events of the day what happened week
before last by Markwood Rhodes in a
white sweater and then a funny pome
called “I want my Hay^’ by Senior
Bray. We applauds every time one
quits and wishes we could applaud
oftener. The idea is to learn how to
talk on your feet without propping up
vs. a bidg. or something.
Next is the debate on some unansw^er-
able ? like ‘‘Aint Sophermores wise.”
One side says they ain’t and the other
says ain’t they and so an hour goes
forever and the judges hands out a de
cision they made before they heard the
speaches and al is supposed to be well.
W^hen the literairy part of the pro-
gramm is all tucked in we have a busi
ness meeting which is a free-for-all
with strict rules. Say par examples,
somebody gets up and says, ‘‘It’s my
move and I move we buy a water cool
er,” then quicker than lightnings some
bird what’s rehearsed it gets up and
yelps, “I’m the second one to say
that’s the hot stuff.” Then they is at
it. One group says we need a furnace
more than a water cooler and tries to
prove it. The first crowd backs the
water jug and when they is fatigued
enough there is a vote about it and
maybe we gets the furnace or possibly
a gross'of water coolers.
It’s a great game, Billy boy, romp
ing around with a lost temper and
acting calm and genlTemen like, so the
Gazabo won’t hit you up for 2bits
worth of coin to uphold the dignity of
us Pom-Poms.
Can’t you come down to see me about
Thanksgiving? We are going to pull
a big feed offen the table and have
some socializing, which is the technical
name for saying howdy to the girls
You ought to be a Pom-Pom, Billy
cause no one won’t 2nd my motions.
Yours literairily,
D. B. S.
“SHORT AND SNAPPY”
Evidence of the “pep” which char
acterizes present-day American life was
offered in the class of literary criticism
recently. “Ghee” Fix, upon being
questioned as to the preference of a
letter of condolence, stated that it was
preferable that they be made “short
and snappy.”
