MEN DO FINE WORK Prof. Barney Speaks on “Why We G-o To College,” Spiced With Wit and Hiunor. The Boosters’ Club began its pro gram Saturday uiglit of last week wheu it held its initial eiitortain'inent at home in the Whitley auditorium. This program was ■well attended by the stu dents and faculty members, and was enthusiastically received. While the program was more or less tentative and some substitutions were necessary for tliat particular night, the program clearly demonstrated that it was built upon the basis of its appeal to high school students, for whicli pur pose it was primarily designed. Following the engagement here the ■Boosters' program was given at Cib- sonville Tuesday night, w’herc it receiv ed a hearty recej)tiou. Thursday night of. this week the members of the club go to the Alamaiice High School near Greensboro, wliere an alumnus of the college. Prof. O. C. Johnson ,is princi pal, to give their program, and next ■week three engagements are scheduled for tlie boys, Monday night at Mebane, "Wednesday night at the Altamahaw- Ossipf^e High School, and. on Friday at Haw River. The program as given Saturday night here consisted of tw'O major divisions, the first part consisting mainly of mu sic and the second part of gymnastic stunts. The orchestra of nine men rendered six selections, and for an encore the collcge song. Their number “Uncle Tom's Cabin,” was especially enjoyed by the audience. The ]'eading by iSIiss Mary E. Scully and the vocal solo by Gordon Crymes were interesting and api^reciated items of the program. Leon Williams, M. G Stanley and F. K. Thomas, composing the trio rendered four selections which bore the titles of Southern and roman tic melodies, and which were well ren dered. Professor Barney added humor and •wit to the program in his speech on “Why We Go To College.” But the number which probably drew the most attention was the performance of the gymnas.Uim team, represented by T. K. Thomas, F. L. Gibbs, ^lilton Wicker, and T. R. Ruston. They were masters at the art of pyramid building, and the tumbling and stunts were well presented, as was also the work on the horse. Especially did the students evi dence an interest in the pyramid build ing of the gym. team as they had not had the opportunity before to see this type of gymnasium work. The orchestra consisted of the follo\Y- ing members of the club: W. N. Huff, B. W. Everett, J. N. Denton, Gordon Crymes, Burnett Johnson, Harold Bar ney, T. R. Ruston, Milton Wicker, and Fred H. Prescott. Taken as a whole the program of the Boosters’ Club as presented here Sat urday night show^ed that it will meet w'ith a splendid success in high school communities, and will encourage on the part of prospective college students a desire to attend college and avail themselves of the many and varied ac tivities of the campua.

GROUP OF STUDENTS OF THE BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION COURSES NEW BOOKS RECEIVEO lELON IS DEFEATED BY FDR BUSINESS STUDENTS EMORY AND HENRY TEAM Commercial Department Places One Hundred Volumes in Library. Will Be Great Aid For the past several days tlie librari ans have been busy with several large shipments of books which have just been received for research work in the Department of Business Administration, of whicli the Commercial Department is a part. These books, comprising over a hundred volumes, are the latest pub lished in the field of business and in dustry, and cover every phase of Busi ness Administration. They will be a valuable aid to the students of this de partment, as well as the student body in general, and make a fine addition to tlie library. The Commercial Department here is recognized as a vital part of the Col lege, probably as much so as the courses in Education and Science. That it is popular ■with the students is evidenced by the number enrolled. Fifty-six stu dents, divided into tw’o sections, pursue the Business Administration I coui’se; xixty-one take typewriting; thirty-eight stenography, and nine banking. The spacious quarters of this department, designed on an efficiency basis and lo cated in the Alamance Building are furnished with the very best equipment that can be had, w'hich includes all up- to-date office appliances such as mimeo graph, addressograph, bookkeeping and calculating machines, etc. A particularly unique feature of this Department is t)ie College Bank. This is a real bank with complete bankiiig (Contonued on Page Two) Elon Holds Virginians Until Third Quarter. Alexander Makes 60-Yard Run for Christians.

With a view of getting better co-op eration among the students, and creat ing more interest in college activities in general a mass meeting was held in chapel Tuesday morning. The purpose of the meeting was to revive the Elon spirit w-hicli has been somewhat lack ing on the campus this year, and es pecially in regard to the support of the football team. Many speakers appeared on the pro gram, both faculty and students. They were: M. G. Wicker, Miss Frances Tur ner, J. B. Gay, cheer leaders; E. E. Snotherly, R. W. Utley, Lemuel Har rell, W. C. Elder, Prof, Barney and Coach Corboy. All the speakers la mented the fact that there was so little interest shown in college activities and the lack of support of the football team. The meeting was very interesting and many thoughts were brought out which will no doubt change the attitude of the students in regard to some things on the hill. At night a “pep” meeting was held in the girls’ gymnasium and new yells and songs were given. Further meet ings will be held this week “and it is hoped by Saturday many students will liave decided to go to Trinity with the team. One year ago Monday Messrs. J. B. and B. N. Jnike of New' York notified President Harper that they would pay for the erection of a science building to complete the group of five buihlings in the Elon rebuilding program neces sitated by the fire of January 18, 1923. The other buildings in this group are the Alamance administration building, the Carlton library building, the Whit- icy auditorium building, and the Mooney Christian Education building. Monday at 2:00 o’clock, one year from the day w'hen the letter was re ceived saying that these generous friends would donate this building, class work began in Geology and Biol- ogy with Prof, T. E. Powell in charge. But for the fact that some of the fur niture was broken in shipment for the Chemistry and Physics departments classes would have begun in these de partments also today in this new build- ing. The Science building is given in mem oir of the mother of the Duke brothers whose maiden name was Artelia Roney. Mrs. Duke was born in Alamance coun ty about twelve miles northwest of the college in 1829. She died in the year 1858 at the early age of 29, and lies buried at Haw River. Her distinguished sons have recently built a beautiful stone wall around the cemetery where in her remains lie interred, and have , constructed a mausoleum over her grave. In addition to this they have perpetuated her name by this handsome science building on the campus of the only college in her native county. The Artelia Roney Duke Memorial Science Buildings is fire-proof through out. It is ]20 feet long and 64 feet wide, and three stories high. There is also a basement for the generation of gas and an aquarium w'here the animals used in Biology are growm and pre.- sorved. The building has composition floors laid on concrete, and the roof is slate laid on concrete. Mr. Plerbert B. Hunter, the architect, spared no effort to make it a model science building in every particular. The Kewaunee Laboratory Furniture Co., have supplied the equipment througliout the building, -which they claim is modern in every respect, and is the very latest word in up-to-date lab oratory furniture. The Fales’ Chemis try desks are also used in the Chemi cal laboratory. The building and equipment have cost «dightly more than $100,000.00. JUNIOR CLASS HOLDS ITS REGULAR MEETING According to the law’s of Australia a man who is required to work on Sun day must be paid four times his daily wage. The Junior Class met in regular busi ness session, Saturday, October 2.'5th, when many things of interest to the class were discussed. Mr. Gordon L. Holland was appoint ed advertising manager for the class to serve on the Maroon and Gold staff, Mr. F. L. Gibbs having resigned on ac count of conflicting duties. Mr. F. D. Bullard was appointed re porter for the class. These men aru well known in the college circle and are wide-awake young men. They will appreciate your co-operatioH in making our college pax>er the beat.
