Hook Editor for the Alumni Advertising Sates Upon Bequest JAKE BLAKE SAYS: A gal’s complexion de pen's on de ability wid which she applies it. Elon needs not fewer women, but more men to mend her ath letic standing. The dedication of Alamance Hall will make a fine feature in the Commencement program, if they can complete the building by that time. Some folks muckrake so much that they never see the stars. What we are trying to say is that Elon students would do more if they talked less. Some people have so few brains that thev rattle all the time. There are numerous kittening critics hereabouts who have only learned to spit and mew. We like a rooster who can back up his crow with his spurs-. OPEN SOCIETIES From time to time there has been a movement toward open societies hereabouts, but no defi nite steps have been taken be fore. The Clio society has led in this movement, and they have been followed by the Psykaleons. The other two societies have not acted on the matter. Open societies is a fact, a par tial fact, and it is to be dealt with. We believe that it is a wholesome tendency, and at the same time we realize that it has its dangers There will be alumni who do not favor it, just as there are students now who do not favor it, but every step of progress is fraught with danger, and involves a risk. I'he old time literary society of other days is passing. It no long er absorlDS the interest and holds the exclusive place that belonged to it in the long ago. Today it has its rivals in a large number of organizations, equally helpful and equally clamorous for the student support. Whether the passing of the literary society of the olden times is to be lamented or not, we cannot say. We can say that the society must make an effort to be of larger service to the college and to the students if it is to remain at all a factor in college life. The question is, will open soci eties aid the .societies at Elon to be more serviceable? While we realize that on this point opinion is divided, and it is well that it is so, we repeat that we believe that to open the societies,—and by that we mean to al'ow the offi cers to be known, to open the pro grams to the public if they care to come, and to keep only 'the business sessions a secret still— will accomplish this end. Such an act will enable the offi cers to benefit by counselling to- all-state basketball team, will be given a “raw deal.” J. G. Frazier is the best gether in a common cause. It will place the literary society more on the bai«s of the larger secret orders, and it will aid in a mutual understanding and help fulness among the societies. It is going to take all the in terest and devotion of the official bodies of the four literary socie ties to make it possible for the societies to live. Every year the percentage of those not joining a society grows larger, and it will continue to grow larger. These officers need to feel free to coun sel together in such matters, and to plan for mutual preservation. It will give the literary socie ties a basis more nearly like that occupied by the great fraternal secret orders. They have open programs, their officers are known to the public generally, and it is possible for the Masons and the Knights of Columbus to unite in a plan of co-operation for the com mon good of all. And last open societies will aid in bringing about mutual under standing and helpfulness. In this day of closely integrated and cor related college life students can not go on hating each other. They have hated each other through the past, and Phi or Clio has been anathema to the opposite society. But today there are larger allegi ances than to literary societies, and these allegiances will grow larger as the years come and go. The literary societies, therefore, must co-operate in bringing about a kindlier feeling. A rivalry is healthful, but hate is ruinous to those who hate and to those who are hated. It can not, and it will not be tolerated in the present complex student life. It is our opinion that the opening of the literary societies suggested above will aid in achieving ends impos sible under the present order. The literary society has a place in college life, not the all-absorb ing place that it once held, but a very definite place and a very def inite end to serve. Believing this as we do. we can but hope for the taking of a step which will, we believe, aid the societies to fill their place and to serve their end in the life of the college today. • OOOOOOOOOOOO* O o o LOTTA JUNK O o By “JACK BABBIT ” O • OOOOOOOOOOOO# Elon split even in the games played last week. C.arolinn and Lynchburg A. C. defeated us. while the Maroon and Gold quint handed State College and V. P. I. stinging defeats. Carolina was expected to win from us, as they liave one of tlie strongest teams in the South. 'I'riiiity is the only team that Carolina has to vanquish ro win the State cham- pionsliip. and that will !« accomplished this week-end. Elon surprised even her most faithful supporters by winning over State College and V. 1’. T. They were good games and only the superb fighting spirit of Klon won the games. Keep fighting, fellows, we are back of you strong. «.» ♦V ♦♦ Emory and Tlenry debating team which won the decision here at Elon is to be conirratulated for the way they presented their facts They knew what they want ed to say, and they told it in such a way that every one else x^resent knew it, too. We hope that Congress doesn’t hear about this dual debate. Joe Banks nnd II. C. Ilainer, upholding the negative side at Emory and Henry, also won. “Texas” says maybe Congress will de feat the next bonus on the facts he has shown. “Texas” is afraid that if Con gress does grant the soldiers a bonus, a clause will be inserted whereby he will be eliminated. lie talked so hard against it, they may think he doesn’t want a bonus. Don’t worry, “Texas,” I’ll let you count mine. Guilford, although a small college, has one man who, if he isn’t placed on the player that has appeared on the Elon floor since my college days were started. He is fast, a good shot, and has a bag fall of tricks that keeps the opposition guessing. When he is out of tlie line up. Guilford is fifty per cent weaker. ()t course, that is just my views, but I know there are many who -will agree with me. ♦V •* W. \Voody. the distinguished senior, pulled a rich joke the other evening. One of the fellows received an invitation to a banquet, and Woody noticed that said invitation, had the initials R S. V. P. written in the lower corner. A fresh man asked what that meant. Woody replied: “Rent Shoes, Vest and Pants.” Woody sure knows his “stuff.” ♦V ♦# Elon high school basketball team is finding it a hard proposition to play teams who can offer much opposition. Coacli “Chubby” Kirkland has the team workin in perfect order, and they com- l)!etely smother al! opposition. The time is I’ipe for them to book games with the leading high schools of the State. Of course, to do this, a way must be found to pay the visiting teams’ expenses. Some one who understands the high school situation should devise a way to do this. ]']lon high school can be tui*n- ed into a real “prep” school for the college. Tlie general opinion seems to be that the proper autiiorities are letting a good thing slip by Do you get the point? •> *.* •• 1'jlon‘s next home game is Wednesday. February Oth. John B. Stetson T.Tniver- sity of Florida will be the opponent. Xo, it’s not a hat company. It’s a real live university, and is coming here determined to win. Let's get together and unload the “pep” that we have been saving. Re- member that our team fights its hnrdest when the entire student body is present. A good rule to follow is, forget your dignity at a game, and yell until your lungs become exhausted. Our team is now ])laying a “bang-up” game, and with the support of the entire student body will win most of the remaining games. n n U H gl g| SPONTANEOUS 'BUSTIONS Forgetting Here's to the girl that’s mine, all mine. She drinks and she bets And she smokes cigarettes. And sometimes I’m told she goes out and forgets That she*s mine—all mine. —Iowa State Green Gander. She: (moonlight and all that rot) — Do you know what a dumb waiter is? He: {same surrounding of course) — Sure, an undeveloped elevator for use in hotels, cafes and so on. She: (still in the moonlight)—I should say not. It’s a man who asks a girl for a kiss and waits for her to say “yes.” —Ex. *.* ♦♦ How Absurd! College Grad: “I'm a college man, and I want a position.” Employer: “No college man will work in this place as long as I’m boss.” (■ollege Grad: “Who mentioned work?” —Mcrciirij. ♦♦ First FleJi: Been on a vacation? Second Flea: Nope; been on a tramp. — *« She doesn’t paint. She doesn’t rouge. She doesn’t smoke, She doesn’t booze.

Putting his hand on his bride’s shoulder, he hesitatingly remarked, THE CODE OF A GOOD SPORT Thou shalt not quit. Thou shalt not alibi. Thou shalt not gloat over winning. Thou shalt not be a rotten loser. Thou shalt not take unfair advantage. Thou shalt not ask odds thou art unwilling to give. Thou shalt always be ready to give thy opponent the shade. Thou shalt not under estimate an opponent, nor over estimate thyself. Remember that the game is the thing, and that he who thinketh otherwise is a mucker and no true sports man. 10. Honor the game thou playest, for he who playeth the game straight and hard wins even when he loses. —American. 9- “Ladies and Gentlemen, this thing has been thrust upon me.”—Exchange. *.* «« It would be a great world if the people could only put as much faith in a man as a woman puts in a safety pin.— Reflector. You can get up with the sun if you don't stay out too late with the daughter. —Log. STUDENT BODY HEARS REPORTS FROM THREE VOLUNTEER DELEGATES (Continued from Page One) sions and in the group discussion meet ings. In the general session the dele gates were asked to vote on the views presented by tlie student leaders from the discussion groups. The result of the vote was as follows: 6,000 of the more than 7,500 delegates favored efforts to prevent war by agencies of international co-operation, either now in existence or to be created, 500 dele gates voted for an attitude of refusal to participate in any future war, only loO votes were registered for the view that energetic preparedness for war is the best way to avoid war, the re mainder of the votes were cast for the abolition of war by the process of edu cation.’’ “The summary of the group views on the inter-racial problem showed agree ment on the principle that all races should be regarded as equals. All were agreed that we can have race prejudice if we want it, we can have Jesus if we want Him but we cannot have both.’’ "As for the fellowship with Jesus Christ, we heard many and diverse in- terpretations. Professor Osuma of Mexico, Dr. Keller of Switzerland Professor Aggrey of Africa, Profesgor Birge of Smyra College, Professor Maish of India, Dr. Cheng of China Rev. Hatanaka of Japan, Br. Paul Harrison of Arabia, all brought the same pleas to the convention—Christ for their countries, for Christ and the teachings of Christ alone declared each could save his country from its present condition of disorder and chaos.” Miss Savage said in closing, “I would leave your thoughts on the man who failed to win in the judgments of the world but gained the hearts of men— Jesus the Christ.” HUMANITY’S SUNSHINE MAKEES The world owes a big debt to people w)io enjoy things as they are. There are very few days which bring u» exactly what wc want, few without some little annoyance to detract from our satisfaction. The people who take l^e as it comes and enjoy it, smiling in spite of the cold snap that kills the little shoots in the flower garden or the unseasonable heat which brings dis comfort, ho in spite of obstacles and disappointments find plenty to laugb about and to rejoice over, are humani ty’s sunshine makers. Almost anybody could be happy, if he had the opportunity to make the world over according to his own ideas. But the people who enjoy life aa it comes, sunshine and shadow together are the ones who make life glad for others.—Selected. “Words better left unsaid come back to give us grief when we think them dead.” “The perfect cream in the perfect container” (TKis is the u;ay one user describes WiUiams and the neu> Hingc^Cap) Williams Shavii^ Cream Men buy Williams expecting to find their main satisfaction in the Hinge- Cap. But when they first use the cream they get an equally t>leasant surprise. The heavier lather, the greater thoroughness with which it softens the beard, make a hit at once. Then, Williams lather lubricates the skin so that the razor fairly “glides” the hairs off. And last, there’s that delightful after-care of the skin. Truly, you’ll find that with the Hinge- Cap Williams is “miles ahead.” It’s a pure cream without coloring matter of any kind. $250 in prizes For the best sentence of ten words or lesson the valueof the WHHams Hlnge-Cap. weoffer thefollowing prizes; 1st priae $100; 2nd prize $50; two 3rd prizes,$25 each; two 4th prizes, $10 each ; six 5Vh prizes, $5 etich.
