Lynarn *.* *.* K* ♦ ♦ **♦ TO MARCH WINDS Blow on, March winds, blow on, Shriek past niy dwelling; Above your nioaiiinjf voice' A gl.adder one is telling The story of a queen WIio’s soon returjiing, Of birds and flowers for which My heart is yearniTig. Blow on, Mareli winds, blow on, Your song is tearful. Why n\oan, ye winls? The spring Is near; be cheeiful. Wliat bear you, winds? Wlint say The queen is riding Upon your iDroatli? Foul steed Is she bestritbng. But blow, March winds, and haste To let her enter; Blow blue the skies and dry The tears of winter. Blow stars from out the skies, And make them tiowers; Blow love into niy heart For bright spring hours. There has been much specula tion on the campus regarding the new wooden structures. The stu dents want to know if they are the w'orkmen’s quarters or the new Alamance Hall. Do the Seniors carry their canes W'ith the A'iew of completing their wardrobe, or do they carry them to protect themselves when they appear w'ith derbies on? The $25,000 recently donated to the college by a donor who pre fers not having his name divulged reminds us that peo|)le who do really big things have little to say about them. It is the “little fellow” who talks. of their books as a hod-carrier does his noon-day meal. They are as addicted to their books as the boll-weevil-cloaked fellow is to his cigarettes. They never seem to have a taste for anything that requires original thoughts. They are content wnth the “brain- full” of books they have. Ah ! Now w'e have the gallant young, athlete ! He scorns at the fellow who prefers mental gym nastics to physical gymnastics. He scorns the fellow w'ho prefers mental prowess to physical prow ess. You hear him talk about the fellow with the “literary phy sique.” He thinks that physical prowess and the cheers from the 1 strain to plaec da note so Iiigli to wnke grandstand will make of him a an.iionw or peoule wliat a re dead, winner in life. Maybe the fellovi' with the “literary physique” has as little regard for the athlete's mentality as the athlete has for the other fellow’s “literary phy sique,” These pictures are familiar to us. W'e know them all. Again, it is as fruitless to seek the per fect man as it is to seek the pot of gold at the foot of the rainbow : but a litle care—a little thought mingled with our accustomed way of living would make college life more congenial and more worth li\ing. Tt would be more agreeable it we could change ourselves and be well rounded, but if we can't, let us remember that the boll-vi'eevil- cloaked chap may not approve our social manners, that the athlete who thinks of nothing but athlet ics may not approve our lack of physical prowess, and that the tortoise-shell-goggled fellow may not approve the one-sidedness of the fanatical athlete. It takes books, athletics, and social life all mingled to make of us well rounded, educated men and women. MUSIC Musk' ees da pleasant noise. Xot all da music ees pleasant.

He that cheers with word of wit, lie that pnft's his chest serenely, In a suit of perfect tit. lie was once a pickininny. And a rascal so they say. Still devilment is with him, Helps to pass the time away. Mei-ry-(i(vKounds, when quite small, He ro(h‘ in a calico dress, He took his present job with us, Just to ride around the press. Vou ou,irht to see him caper. When Maroon and Gold is out, When hi*'s had his fill of chicken, When he’s started on the kraut. He's my j>al of the by-ways, lie's the pal of him that reads, He’s the lad that dops the wa|?,;ing. At tho hist of “Simmon Stieds.” K. A. D. A. The students that lived through the ‘flu” have now got the spring fever. JAKE BLAKE SAYS: De l^rick pile would bring a good price fo’ hand grenades ober in Irelan’. SLIDES SHOWING NEGRO EDUCATION ARE SHOWN (Continued from pa,ge one) TYPES OF COLLEGE MEN Seeking a perfect man is like seeking the pot of gold at the foot of the rainbow. It ain’t! But we wonder sometimes if a little more care, a little more thought, would not make better men—well rounded men—of us. The various types of fellows in college life are familiar to us. Just a suggestion brings to our minds the fellow with the mule-kicked hat and -the boll wee^•il suit hug ging his neck behind his ears. He goes around appended to the fire- less end of a cigarette and rattles his change that he won from a college mate in a friendly game of poker. He never seems to worry about how the world gets along. He keeps up this pace until some day he ‘'comes to” too late, or maybe he never does “come to.” Anyhow, no one ever hears any more about him. The college records show that he has been there and that is as far as it is safe to pursue the records. Then comes Percival, Archi bald, and those other delicate young creatures w’ho hide behind their imitation tortoise shell spec tacles and gulp in the contents dren. llaskefs and chairs made by the l)oys and articles of dress nvade by the p’irls w(*re presented. On some of the slides the boys wore shown at work at difFerent trades, such as brick laying and makinjr or shoe-r(‘i)a[rinir: while the jrirls wiM'e shown in the home economics and home arts classes, and in their studies of flip essential furnishings and conA-enii'nt arranji'cments of n model dining room, and of the care of the sick. Other slides showinjf the faculty mem bers of different traininsr .chools, nei;jro homes some of which were very dilapi- datel and some \wy attractive and in- vitin,2. ne.i'ro families, and the nejrro in agriculture, were ]>resented. Those slides pictnrius the* ne^ro life of the immediate vicinity were of es- ])Ocial interest. Thei’e were pictures of Aunt Sallie. Aunt Rachael, the John son family. aiul other negroes well known to Elon students. The educational slides showing the work of the negro in various sections of the South were secured from Mr. .Jack son Davis, of Kichmond. Virginia. Mr. Davis is one of the most prominent workers for negro ad\ancements in the South. lie has done much to improve the conditim of the negro, and to create a bettn* feeling between the two races. 'I'he local pictures were taken and de\eloi;ed by Prof«*ssors 1>. Kverett and A. \j. Hook who a.*e leading the lass in race jn-oblems. Professor Hook will add some of the local views to the colle‘tion of Mr. Davis. Juniors Choose New Sponsor On Thursday Professor Greenwood Is Chosen to Suc ceed Dr. Newman as Class Sponsor. At its regular meeting last Thurslay afternoon Prof. W, F. Greenwood was chosen to succeed Dr. J. U. Newman as sponsor of the class. Prof. Greenwood has made himself very popular with the student body since he joined the faculty as liead of the voice department in the fall. He has shown himself at all times ready to assist in ev'ery endeavor which would nuike the life of the college better. Tlie junior class feels that it is very fortunate in having Prof. Greenwood to sponsor it, and they feel sure that lie will do it in the same admirable way in which ho has done many other things for tlie students. Elon Delegates Leave To Attend Conference White, Sorrell, Spense and Scott Will Represent Elon at Volunteer Conference. A WP^DDING BELLE 1 kissed her in the moonlight, I kissed her in the dark, I kissed her in the parlor, I kiss(Hl her in the park— I f*)oled the other fellow.

KNUBEL IS TO DELIVER AN ADDRESS AT LENOIR Well Known Lutheran to Aid in Big Financial Campaign for Lenoir. Iliekory, X. C., March S.—^Dr. Fred erick H. Knubel, honored president of the United Lutheran Church in Amer ica since its organization, will deliver his first address upon Nortli Carolina soil, March 8th, as a guest of Lenoir College, Hickory. The college is in the midst of a great eflfort to secure among its friends and former students an ex pansion fund of $850,000, of which !t^300,000 lias been oflered as the gift of one man. Air. D. E. Rhyne, of Lin- colnton^ X, C. Dr. Knubel came into national prom inence as the leailer of the war service of the Lutheran church, which has been called one of the most remarkable pieces of emergency effort of any Chris tian church, and was guided by the slo gan, “Wherever a Lutheran boy may be, the church must go with him.” Dr. Knubel is a church leader of spiritual power, and is one of the strongest men in the Protestant church of America today. The eyes of the Lutheran church in America are focussed on Lenoir’s pres ent effort because the rise of Lenoir from obscurity to leadership has been so, rapid and unlooked for. Northern institutions especially have never felt that a Lutheran college in the South could make a strong bid for ranking position, as Lenoir is now doing. The seventh annual conference of the Xorth Carolina Student Volunteer Union meets in Raleigh this week-end. This is expected to be one of the most interest ing conferences which the union has yet held. Large delegations will be there fronj all the colleges of the state. It is the purpose of this conference to arouse interest in mission work, and to aid in the decision of life problems. It is expected that many prominent speak ers will Ik^ there to aid in this woi*k. Among the sx>eakers will be Miss Vir ginia Pritchard, who visited Elon some tiu)e ago. M. J. ^V. White, Jr.. M. T. Sorrell, D. M. Spense and W. T. Scott will repre sent I'^Ion at this conference. 'I'he con ference is meeting with N. C. State Col lege. and the other colleges and religious bodies of the city of Ilaleigh have joined in welcoming the Volunteers to the city. Listen Billy MODERNITY One characteristic of modern times is the swiftness with which things are done, that in former days would have in volved a long and slow process. For instance, as everyone knows, a news])aper is m)thing but wood. It is made out of the tree as really as your table is. The process is different. In making the table you use the saw and plane, in making the newspaper you re duce tlie wood to pulp, roll it out into a thin sheet, and bleach it. The other day in Germany an experi ment was tried to see how quickly the tree could become a newspai)er. Three tr‘es with birds singing in the branches were cut down at 7 :35 A. M, The trunks were taken to the factory, and in less than two hours transformed, into pulp and paper. At 0:30 A. M. the roll of i>aper was delivered to the news paper ofiice. At 11 o’clock, copies of the newspaper, printed on the paper which ‘I hours and 25 minutes earlier was a live tree, were on sale in the streets.—N. Y. American. All animals can see a retiectioii in a mirror, but in no case will the animal recognize the reflection as that of it- THE CORE OF THE TANK CORPS I>oy. Listen. 1 am now in the tank core. Xot the same exactly as the tanks we met la Fair France vvallowin« through the shell Iioles. This one is a wafer tank. It is red and is higher than all the Ellen dormi- torys windows to keep the boys from throwijig ti'ash into it. AVhen Master Custom was a prep here he started th(> fad of writing figgers on the tank with i)aint way up on the side of it. This figger show(>d ^^•hen he would graduatee and it cheered him up to think he wouldn't be here longer than that figger. This outdoor sport is played \^ith a paint brush and a weak feeling in your tummy and the idea is to see if you can paint some nice figgers that will stay here overnight. You do this while other classmen is whaling the tar out of you. The boys what live down at the power house is always playing jokes on us like turning off the ligiits. etc., and bathing us in cold water, etc. Now \\-hen them binls heard it was my time to paint a 2(; they goes and lakes most of the little ladder down what goes up the tank. i here was two other boys on Art coinmittea and we aint no more than got started up that tank at 3 Oh’ Clock in the morning than them soft Moores comes a gallopin on fury bent and threatens to i)ush the tank over on ue if we goes on up. They can't scare me none P»illy and I keeps going. They tarts climbing after me and catches me just as I is paintin in a whoiipin big 26. Ihey grabs me and 1 gives them a little Dempsay like this guy did one Carp enter. 1 cleans up one by smearing him with the paint brush and he reverses down the ladder sneezing like it was hay fever time in Normanday. The other is a big lojlypop and 1 has con- spiciou.s trouble in putting him iu his cradle but this very thing 1 does after kicking the covei*ing ofFen his shins and he backs up and goes down that ladder a sliding like a fireman going down to a six alarm fire. >\midst the throwing of rocks I fin ishes the 20 and slides down into the ai-ms of the biggest fight in my life. I spreads 111-2 gals, of white paint on these birds and licks them for not pay ing me for touching them up for spring. A fight aint nothing but the stuff and comes natural as I hold a B. C. S.* de gree from all the Univercitys. I think I licked 30 or 50 of them. Billy, I aint «*xact cause I dont know how many boys is in the soft Moores class. Of course this aint no fairy tale cause J had some wear and tear myself and have to wear my Sunday suit every day and ha\-e added Ideen and cort plasters to my medical shelf. But theres one tiling I cant under stand. When I limps out this morning ami looks at my handy works on the tank it is a 25 and I dont see how I made it that way even iu the dark. My class is mad cause I guess they thinks I double crossed them and I don’t see no chance of getting them to pay for my suit. Hoodoo is still with me. Au revoir. DUMBELL. * Bite, Slug. Chew. BASEBALL PROSPECTS ARE BRIGHT FOR ELON NINE (Continued from Page One) '^rhe other positions of the infield are iu doubt. I'here arc Fix, (iilliam and Hooks. Stoner and Lindley, all likely candidates for infield positions. The out field is crowded with candidates. Grady Brown, who played with the team in 1J^21. is almost a sure bet for one of these ]>ositions. Kent Patton, also an old man. holds a good chance of copping one of the outer gjntlens. Kirkland, Smith, Newlin, Paul Braxton, Flynn, and Bob Brown are those from whom the other outfield player will be picked..
