SAYS:
We are going to win de
next game. I just feel
it sho.
The old skig'ging game was too
much for our team. It was too
bad that Guilford got the better
end of the bargain. Better luck
ne.xt time gang.
Base ball is truly an uncertain
game. Our last three games prove
that without doubt. Our remain
ing games are also uncertain, but
we hope that they will be certain
ly in our favor.
Four more weeks of hard work
and the vacation season will be
here, but in that short time there
is much to be done. The Seniors
have their orations to warm up
the campus. The usual hurry and
cram before exams, will also wor
ry many of the class known as
loafers. What if the students as
a whole worked as hard all the
year as they do the last four
weeks of the school term? The
sheepskins should be given in less
than four years.
SENIOR ORATIONS
This week the Seniors will de
liver their orations. They are re
quired every year either to write
a thesis or deliver an oration be
fore receiving their diplomas. A
contest is held and the best speak
ers are permitted to speak at com
mencement time. The Moffitl
Essayist's Medal is given for the
best essay delivered by a young
lady of the class and the Stanford
Orator’s Medal is presented to the
young man of the class who in the
opinion of the judges delivers the
best oration. The selection of the
commencement speakers will be
carried out in the usual way this
year. The Faculty has set aside
this week as the time for the first
elimination, and at that time
many new ideas and thoughts are
slated to appear.
The person who kicks an exist
ing order of things and offers no
solution or aid reduces himself to
the level of a common grumbler.
This is the same type of man that
kicks the government and refuses
to vote and tells how to build up
a community and fails to contrib
ute anything to its upbuilding.
To bring the matter closer
home, this is the same person who
is always talking about how poor
the “Maroon and Gold” is, and
who is always offering sugges
tions as to how it should be print
ed, but who never offers any prac
tical contribution. The staff real
izes that thfe paper is not the best
that it could be, but nevertheless
it is doing everything that it can
to make the “Maroon and Gold"
one of the best college publica
tions in the state. Criticism is
highly appreciated, but as every
one knows there are two kinds of
criticism, namely: constructive
and destructive. Constructive crit
icism is that criticism which
points out an error and offers sug
gestions or some aid for overcom
ing the condition. This is the
kind of criticism that points the
way to development and to per
fection, consequently this is the
kind of criticism that the staff es
pecially appreciates.
Moral:—If you have something
worth while, say it, if not, keep it
to yourself.

Well gang, we lost to Guilford, but
it was an interesting affray, wasn’t :tV
To many it may seem that team wojk
is not a part of a base ball team, as it
is a part of a football, or basketball
team, but even a casual observer of the
Guilford game could tell that team
work is one of the most essential things
that goes into making up a wirnin;?
baseball team. Not that anyone would
attempt to cast either flowers or bou
quets at fellows who work for tlieir
team, as the fellows did Monday after
noon, but it seems to be safe to sng-^'est
that a little more team work wo-j1u
have resulted in a different story.

Speaking of team work, we would
like to suggest that the athletic traffic
cop park all cars on the other side of
the road, in the future, because we
shudder when we think how near oar
grandstand came to going up as the
old administration building did, and as
the power house tried to go. In all
seriousness though, we are sorry that
our visitor had such hard luck, in Lav
ing his car burned.

It seems as if the Freshmen have had
a great desire to have their number on
some Qonspicuous place all of the year
Now we wonder if they are satistied
with the verdant banner which mother
nature has flung from all the tree top-j
for them.

Banquet season is over and it look*
like the social life will begin to get
dull. But then the long afternoon-s
usually make the dean a bit more free
with her group social hours. It is this,
coupled with the fact that soon there
will be many and l^vetakings, that
gives us hope for continued social ac
tivity.
Miss Margaret Terry, who was a stu-
Icnt here last year, attended the B. O.
B. banquet Saturday night -and spent
the remainder of the week-end on the
Hill.

STUDENTS AND FACULTY
ATTEND HAM SERVICES
The students and the faculty of the
college have evidenced much interest in
the Ham-Eamsay meeting which is be
ing conducted in Burlington, Many ef
them have been to hear the famous
preacher and all of them seem to have
enjoyed both the preaching and the
music.
The fact that there was a consider
able interest on the part of Elon stu
dents, coupled Tvith the fact that the
meeting is a general effort in the in
terest of surrounding country, brought
the services to our very doors Tuesday
afternon. The chapel was thrown open
to* Mr. Ham and his assistants and prac
tically the whole of the student body
enjoyed a brief service. The speaker
brought home many choice bits of his
unlimited store of knowledge, in a way
which is bound to help all who' heard
him to live their life on a higher
plane.
We are glad to have had this oppor
tunity to hear Mr. Ham, at home and
hope that he may see fit to visit us
again at an early time.
STANDARD OF WORK FOR
M. A. DEGREE IS RAISED
The faculty in its last regular meet
ing, wishing to raise the standard of
work required for the Master of Arts
degree, and to make it more nearly
equivalent to the same degree given by
universities, agreed upon the following
requirements for the Master of Arts
degree for the future:
(1) Each candidate for the Master
of Arts degree shall be required to pre
pare a thesis in the field o'f his major,
the same to be scope and content such
as to demonstrate the candidate’s gen
eral knowledge of the field and his ca
pacity to conduct independent research.
(2) The thesis shall first receive the
approval of the professor under whom
it is written, and then of the Commit
tee on the Master of Arts degree.
(3) The minimum of class work
shall be fifteen hours; not less tlian nine
of which shall be in the department o'f
the major subject, the remainder being
in a closely allied department or depart
ments.
(4) In addition to the regular se
mester examinations the candidate shall
be required to stand a general written
examination on the nine liours of the
major subject, not later than the first
week of May.
(5) No undergraduate work shall be
credited for graduate work unless it be
of advanced standing, and then only
after the candidate has been required
to perform such additional work as hi
the discretion af the professor in charge
will give it the merit of graduate work.
The above requirements are to take
effect at the beginning of the next
scholastic year.

“Home Happiness” is Subject and
Many Take Part in an Instructive
Program.
Last Sunday evening the Y. M. C. A.
held one of the most interesting and in
structive meetings that have been held
by that organization this year. The T.
M. C. A. has been greatly handicapped
for a couple of years, as well as have
the other religions organizations, due
to the fact that the meeting place has
been temporary. But through it all a
lot of commendable work has been done.
The meeting Sunday night was a fair
specimen of that work^
The general theme for the evening
was ‘'Home Happiness,” and the lead
er -was G. C. White. He opened the ser
vice by the reading of the scripture,
which was taken from the fourth chap
ter of Ephesians. After reading the
scripture lesson Mr. White made a gen
eral talk on the theme of the lesson, in
which he outlined some of the many
things which tend to make homes hap
py and in turn lead to happiness for
members of the family.
After these introductory remarks
Messrs. Stanley, Euston, and Barney
rendered “The Pilgrim’s Prayer” as a
trio. This selection was well chosen
and as well rendered.
At this time the meeting was throw:i
open to all who had anything to say
and who' were willing to take part.
Some questions were answered, regard
ing the relations of home life and hap
piness. These questions and answers
opened the way for full discussions of
the thonght which each one carried.
The pianist, Mr. D. B. Harrell, ren
dered several selections on the piano,
which were fully enjoyed. I-Ie played
a few bars from “Home Sweet Home”
and had he played much more of it the
meeting would very likely have had to
adjourn, to make way for tears, which
seemed imminent on all sides.

Many students and faculty of the
college are regular attendants at the
Ham-Eamsay meeting in Burlington.
Mr. Joe Bynum Gay spent the week
end in Salisbury.
