Miss Eldredge knows and loves Elon and she knows and loves young people. Her address was proof of that, and the response ac corded the address was one fitting for so great an utterance. It is our purpose not so much to praise the address of Miss Eld redge as to call upon the students of Elon not to let it pass. She has thrown down the. glove to us. Let us take it up and answer her challenge by attaining the best possible for us. Elon has ever stood for a high and holy thing which we sometimes forget, but we as college students with such a history behind us as those like Miss Eldredge has written should pen our chapter in the same fine way. Come, let us climb up to the crest, up till we “See the Sea." JAKE BLAKE SAYS: Ah, er-r-r \ HAVE YOU SELF-RESPECT? College buildings are in many ways public buildings. Visitors are continually passing in and out of them, and what they see there makes a deep impression on them. They judge the students, and in cidentally the college, by the man ner in which the buildings are kept. The matter of deliberately mak ing the buildings untidy is one of growing importance. We dislike calling attention to the matter publicly, but we feel that it is de serving of the most scathing criti cism. Any man with a decent self-respect will endeavor to keep the place where he lives as clean as possible. If we were children there might be some excuse for overturned trash cans and paper walks, but smce we are college men there can be none. What some of us need is to think a bit. The college dor mitories are your home. They are the only home you have for nine months of the year, and if you have self-respect, respect for your college and for your fellow- students who must also live in the buildings, you will not do things of that kind again. We believe that they have been done thoughtlessly, and we be lieve that they will not occur again, hence we believe that Elon men are gentlemen in the highest sense of the word. Men, we put it up to you as individuals to cor rect this tendency which has been growing steadily for the past few weeks. If each of us will correct himself it will cease, and no one will suffer. THE COLLEGIATE PRESS ASSOCIATION The Collegiate Press .Associa tion met this fall with Irinity College, Durham, N. C. It was a fine meeting with a forward-look ing program. 'I'rinity was an ex cellent host, and no efl:ort was spared to make the delegates from the various North Carolina col leges feel at home. They gave us a hearty welcome in many ways other than in speech. The North Carolina Collegiate Press association has been criti cized in that it was only a social organization. I’he criticism is un just and untrue, but granting that it w'ere true, it would then be worth all it costs the publications of the state. Nothing in all the years has done so much to cement the \-arious colleges of the state together in friendly understand ing as has this association. It has greatly benefitted the college papers and has sent the represen tatives to their colleges v^dth a feeling of inspiration for their ar duous task. It is aiding in the shaping of editorial policies, and editorial policies are shaping, we trust, in some measure the think ing of the students of the state and other states. Through the exchange system established by the association every college edi tor is enabled to know what every other college editor is thinking, and to glean ideas of helpfulness for his college. An'excellent spirit pervaded the recent meeting. It was indica tive that the “Younger Genera tion" is finding itself. There were no radical utterances, but a pro gressive attitude along sane lines of endeavor. Harmony among the colleges was the plea of the association, and it can and will come if the editors of the college publications give themselves to the task of inaugurating it in their colleges. 0000000000009 o ° O LOTTA JUNK ° O By “JACK RABBIT” O •oooooooooooo# The football season closed last Sat urday witli the Wake Forest gaino. The Figlitiiig Christians lived up to - their iiaino by playiiig their best game of the entire season. It was a game that 'will long be remembered by those who wit nessed it, and those who played in it. Holding the strong Demon Deacons to such a low score stamps Elon as one of the best small college teams in the South. Each and every man played like a star, and it would be a difficult task to pick any individual who outshone the others. Jf any individual is hon ored, the credit should be given to Coach Corboy. He is tlie man who taught the Elon boys liow the game should be played. When the seasou opened our pros-pects for a winning team looked very poor. Tn fact, most people who claimed to know predicted a poor season for ns. Coach set to work and moulded a machine together that defeated every team in our class that we encountered. Have you ever stopped to consider just what Coach Corboy has meant to Eloii? His rec ord for four years here is wonderful. In his first year, against Furman Uni versity—a team which defeated Georgia Tecli—Elon held Furman to a .‘53 to 0 score. All told, in his four years at Elon we have won 14 games and lost four to colleges in our class. We sure- Iv are fortunate in having a man of his ability to direct our athletic teams. •• ♦.* ♦♦ The season for rabbit hunting is. here, fellows, but we are out of luck. You niiglit just as well sell your gun and forget about it. Mark McAdams. Bob Browu and Coach Corboy went hunting Tuesday afternoon, and from tlie reports that we have, tliere aren’t any of the so-called “bunnies” hang ing around this part of the world. If there were any, surely those gentlemen would have captured at least one. These fellows went out to kill rabbits, but the only thing they succeeded in killing was a lot of time. Better luck next time! are almost positive their classes could easily defeat the Freshmen and Jun iors, while on the other hand it’s the Freshmen and Juniors who insist they are the best. Now the only way to settle an argument like this is to sche dule a game. I have been requested to issue on behalf of the Freshmen and Juniors a bona fide challenge to the Sophomores and Seniors. This game is to be played under any conditions and rules the opposing teams may agree upon. Step up, fellows; accept this defi and settle this much discussed question. AN alumna SPEAKS It w'as a rare privilege that the students of the college enjoyed last Sunday night, when Miss Lucy M. Eldredge, Field Secre tary of the Board of Christian Education of the General Chris tian Convention, spoke to them. She stirred the college through the hearts of its students, and aw'akened in those hearts a long ing for the best that Elon is or can be. Miss Eldredge is an alumna of the college, and her message, as it should have been, was an ap peal, a challenge to the best in the men and women who are now gathered in.the college. She made us think and that is a rare achieve ment. She caused us to see the self which others see and made us, feel our responsibility to the homes and communities , from which,J4'e have come and to'those to which we shall go. She plead with us earnestly to know our selves, to find out the weaknesses Four Ministerial Students Ordained AT RECENT CONFERENCE SESSION W. T. Scott, J. H. DoUar, A. H. Hook and S. M. Lynam Are Ordained; Most Harmonious Session. At the recent meeting of the North Carolina-Virginia Christian Conference four Elon students were ordained to the Christian ministry. W. T. Scott, J. H. Dollar, A. H. Hook and Sion M. Lynam received ordination. The ordaining presbytery consisted of Drs. J. .0 At kinson, N". G. Newman, W. S. Long and P. H. Fleming. The conference met at Bethlehem church, Altamahaw, N. C. It was one of the most harmonious meetings held in many years. The program was pro gressive throughout and mucli business looking to the betterment of the church ivna transacted. ' . - Many Elon students and alumni at tended the meeting and took an active part in the work. WAKE FOREST BEATS ELON IN CLOSING GAME OF SEASON AT COMER FIELD HERE SATURDAY (Continued from Page One) Jimmie Cameron, who played tackle on tlie varsity football team in 1921, and was elected captain for the season following, has just recently taken the boldest step in his career. Jimmie has forsaken the bachelor ranks and is now a much married man. We extend our best wishes for a happy and ju’osperous future for the newly-weds. Now that football is history the boys are directing their attention tow'ard basketball. Quite a number of boys are working out daily in the gym, and indications are pointing toward a good team to represent Elon on the^ floor. Captain Rob Brown, Alph Brown, !Mark McAdams and Ghee Fix are the reg ular men who arc expected to win places on the team. Jesse Barker, a first string substitute of last year, will make a strong bid for a regular place on this year’s team. Many former high school players are also out to win places, and it will be quite a hard prop osition for Coach to decide on the men who will constitute the varsity. Keep working hard, fellows. Everyone has an equal chance. Last Thursday morning we -vv'ere sur prised when strolling across the cam pus to see the numeral ’27 painted al most everywhere. We have seen the numerals, but are wondering what it is all about. It is the custom at all schools to do a little painting wlien one class triumphs over another in some sort of a contest. Now we are woniler- ing w'hat sort of a victory the Fresh man class is claiming. Caji some ener getic Freshman refresh our intelligence? Class football is a much discussed topic at the close of tlie regular season here at H^loni Many students always insist that their class has the best team. This year an unusual' lot of interest is being manifested as to which classes combined could gain a verdict over the others. Sophomores and Seniors pass which gave them their first score. It was an interesting game through out. Both teams showed a good spirit and played clean football. Line-up and summary: Elon Wake Forest Position A.

DECIDES TO HOLD ITS SPRING MEETING AT ELON (Continued from Page One) The feature of the program of Fri day morning* was to have been an ad dress by Josephus Daniels. Mr. Dan iels had to decline this invitation to speak at the eleventh hour because of an important meeting he had to at tend. The convention was honored with a message from him whcih was read by the president. However, one of the best things of the entire convention was the address on headline writing delivered by W. N. Keener, editor of the Durham Herald. He brought many new ideas to the delegates and discussed some of their problems. On Friday night the delegates were guests of the Tombs, a Trinity frater nity, at a banquet given in the College Cafeteria. This was a very elaborate entertainment.
