CAN A MAN BE BOTH?
In a I’eceiit issue of a certain
North (‘aroliiia college paper the
editor attempted to face the issue
of wliether a college man could
be both a scholar and a sport. He
said that soon after a man came
to college be decided to which he
should give his time, and inferred
that be could not enjoy the sport
ing life of bis college and at the
same time be a scholar after the
hearts of his professors.
We do not claim to be an author
ity on such matters, but ive are in
clined to think that a college man,
who is an all-around man can be
both. We believe that it is pos
sible for him not only to enjoy, but
to participate in the sports of his
college, and be a good stiident. It
ought to be possible, and we have
been fortunate enough to know
some men of which it was true.
The editor of the paper in ques
tion is -w ithout doubt right in his
facts. Pew of those who support
the teams and discuss the all state
men are the best students, and
few of the best students are ardent
supporters of the teams, but this
state of things is lamentable.
There is a time for all things.
A time to study and a time to
play. Every student ought to
learn this, and study when study
is in order and play when play is
in order.
As a rule college students do
not need to be exliorted to play,
but most of them need to be urged
to study more. Colleges need, not
more book-worms, but more
genuine scholars than they have
now. The time was when books
absorbed the whole attention of
students, and the opposite is true
today, but we believe that the
penclulum of college life will event
ually find its eiuilibrium at the
right place. Sugars and proteins
are both good, but neither will
alone produce a healthy body.
Besides this line of benevolence
the students have contributed to
the student friendship fund from
time to time, and have given to
various other funds. They have
done this besides supporting all
the local needs of the organization.
This has involved a good deal of
money, and we believe that the giv
ing of Elon students has been
above the average.
The budget system lias not been
all that those who planned it had
hoped for it, but it has brought
larger sums of money to the cam
pus religious bodies than has any
other form of financing before
tried. Tlie budget sj-steni is still
young, and time has been too short
to demonstrate its efficiency. This
system has the two virtues of get
ting the money needed, and of
teaching the students here the fine
art of systematic giving.
We do not know whether this
rumor of ^\•hicll we have spoken
is a result of lack of information
or an effort to destroy the budget
system. What we do know is that
it is a gross misrepresentation, and
that it needs to be corrected.
The Religious Activities Orgart-
izatioii has not had all the support
it might have had from the con
stituent bodies, and it has not met
all expectations. It could and
would do much better if the bodies
composing it would give it their
support and stop the internal fric
tion. It has proved that it has
vast possibilities, and given the
support whicli it should have there
is no doubt that it would prove a
most efficient correlative agency.

THE KNOCKEE'S PKAYEE
MISREPRESENTATION
A rumor has been circulating
about the campus that the student
body does not give to outside pur
poses such as missions and other
interests of the church. We be
lieve, at least we hope that this
rumor is the result of lack of in
formation, but we feel that it
should not be allowed to pass un
noticed.
The students have given liberally
to missions the past two years.
They have kept a Japanese girl in
school, paying all her expenses.
It is true that the expenses for
last year were not met in full, and
that two hundred dollars is yet to
be paid, but the present budget of
the Religions Activities Organiza
tions provides for this amount.
At a mass meeting of tlie citizens of
Klo]i C'ollege last Wednesday night in
the Masonic ITall a coramimity cluircli
program unanimously adopted.
Some weeks ago this idea was definite
ly begun at a mass meeting of the citi
zens assembled in the graded school audi
torium when a committee was appointed
to draft working resolutions for such
a program. This committee consisted
of Dr. J. (). Atkinson, representing the
C’hristian Church: President W. A.
Harper, of the college; J. J. Lambeth,
mayor of the town : C. I. T^mstead, bank
cashier; .T. A. Tornaday, superintendent
of the graded schools; R. S. Rainey, Boy
Scout master, and Charles I). Johnston,
superintendent of the orphanage, which
committee submitted the following report
at the meeting Wednesday night;
“Whereas, we deem the Christian
Church broad enough in its polity and
principles to include all followers of
Christ and since there is already a
Christian church organized and function
ing at IClon College, be it
“Resolved, First. That the Elon
Christian church should undertake to
serve the entire community and so be
a Community Church.
“Resolved. Second. That members of
other churches residing in the community
be invited to become associate members
of the Elon College Christian church
while residing with us, pro^-ided such
associate membership shall in no wise
affect their membership in the church
to which they may already belong.
“Resolved. Third. That associate
members shall have all the rights and
privileges of fellowship and activities, in
cluding the power to vote on all Com
munity Church matters, provided such
voting power shall not be allowed to in
terfere witii the denominational relation
ship of any member of the Community
CMiurch. and of committee membership
accorded to regularly constituted mem
bers of the church.
“Resolved, Fourth. That the Elon
College Christian church is seeking to
serve the community, in addition to its

I do iiot want certain men of the

regularly constituted officers have the
following committees:
(1) Community Improvement. (2)
Health and Sanitation. (3) Social
Activities.
“Resolved, Fifth. That membership
on these committees, or other committees
that said church may create, is not to
be confined necessarily to acti^■e or asso

"Resolved, Sixth. That immediate
stops be taken to erect a church, on the
lot already donated for tliat purpose, to
be used as a center of community wor
ship of all activities looking to the up
building of the community and extending
the Kingdom of our Lord.”
After speeches by Dr. J. O. Atkinson,
President Harper, and others on a com
munity church program, the foregoing
report was adopted and a nominating
committee appointed, consisting of the
college pastor, Dr. N. G. Newman, C. I.
Umstead, and Dr. T. C. Amick, who are
to make their nominations on the per
manent committees of Community Im
provement, Health and Sanitation, and
Social Activities to a called meeting of
the citifiens to be held tonight.

ever, a pass w'as intercepted by King
and they took the offensive for the re
mainder of the game, scoring three
touchdowns in the final two periods.
The quality of playing shown by the
Elon team may be gathered from the
Bristol Herald, which says: “To the
team from Elon goes the credit of
bringing to Bristol the most baffling
short passing combination seen here in
years. Sides in the backfield and the
Brown brothers on the ends brought
groans and cheers from the crow’d time
and again with their wonderful pass
ing game, and in the first quarter their
stellar work made possible their lone
touchdown shortly after the second per
iod began.”
Continuing, the paper commetits as
follows: “Another star of magnitude,
outranking any on either team in de
fensive work, was in the game ir the
person of John Smith, right taclcle for
the visitors. His work in the lino held
back the mighty backs of the Tornado
several times and it was through him
that the line gains of Elon wei*e made
country and that there is at present an
average of three every day.
J. R. Bennett gave a very interest*
ing account of farming in Pamlico
county. W. J. Apple spoke on the U. S.
Mail Service as seen from our local
office.
York Brannock spoke on Eecreation
at Moonclon, starting with its history
for several years back and bringing it
up to the present time. Paul Braxton
told of his summer vacation, part of
which he spent cutting pine timber near
his home.
Gordon Crymes chose Edw’ard Mc
Dowell as his favorite musician, giving
a detailed account of his life and w’orks.
The advantages of a co-ed school wxre
forcibly presented by Jack Corbitt. J.
H. Dollar spoke on the history and pur
pose of the Yung Men’s Club, and stat
ed that anyone was ■welcome there at
any time, the only requirement bein^
that they must have a good speech
ready.
Lacy Ezell gave o-n interesting dis
cussion of the Alamance county seat,
Graham, naming several of the indus
tries of that town. E. H. Gunn spoke
on Current Events, bringing out many
facts of interest.
Following this was a very interesting
debate on the query, “Resolved, That
the form of government of the United
States is superior to that of Great Brit

6. C. Crutchfield, Clyde Gilliam, and
J. R. Barker, and the negative by H. E.
Crutchfield, J. N. Denton and F. L.
Gibbs. The decision was in favor of
the negative. Frank Allston w'as named
as best oratorically, G. C. Crutchfield
best on the affirmative, and J. N. Den

John Smith played a great g^^
