Manager W. J. Gotten Faculty Advisor FOOTBALL Advertising Bates Upon Request Don't think they won’t check up on church seats next Sunday just because they didn’t last. We came to college to learn. That accounts for the fact that the girls have learned that “going to the train” is not that at all, but it politely known as “hiking.” The committee was very un fortunate in getting a bad picture for the first movie. Don’t give up hope. The old students will tell you that it was not a repre sentative performance. On the eve of the initial battle let us repeat, “Beat Davidson or Bust.” Pershing said, “Berlin or Bust,” and meant what he said. He didn’t “bust.” Let us mean it when we say “Beat Davidson or Bust.” We believe in football, not just because it is a sport, but we be lieve in football because it is the one game that can transfuse a mass of individuals into a solid unity, a unity which knows no personal friends, knows no bud dies, but that knows only its Alma Mater and the things for which she stands. In the days that pre cede the first big game the stu dents are a mass of individuals. Everybody knows that there is such a thing as school spirit and that there should be a ruling spirit to control the units of the in dividuals that make up the body proper, but it is lacking. Then comes the first big home game. It is here that the student body meets and begins to feel itself being welded into a howling mob, with one thought, with one pur pose. And in the tenser moments of the game is born that great ideal, school spirit. It is pure rot to say that foot ball does not benefit the man on the bench and the man in the bleachers. It does, for the man does not live in whose heart such moments as these do not cause a renewal of enthusisam, a soul awakening that will cause his heart to beat faster, and will cause the blue blood in his veins to run truer and with more spirit than ever before. And the greatest part of it is that this faster cours ing of his blood goes with him until his heart beats no longer. Nothing could be said and nothing could be done that could stop the tide of enthusiasm that will come over this student body when our team goes out to meet its first enemy. In that moment will be born a spirit that will weld every individual on this Hill into a solid mass of men and wo men with but one thought and that one thought, “Alma Mater, to the last ditch.” Some member of the student body has been posting notices, or advertisements of a certain theat rical performance on the bulletin boards of the college. The Maroon and Gold is the authorized ad vertising agency for such adver tising on this campus. Such acts as this do not come under our list of the things that go to make up school spirit and they are not the kind of acts that prove one’s loyalty to his school and his own paper. The first vesper recital of the season given on the organ at Elon College, Sunday afternoon, was well attended and greatly enjoy ed. Prof. Velie played a well balanced program, including com positions of both the Classical and Modern school. Prof. Velie was assisted by Miss Pauline Shoope, violinist. Miss Shoope played numbers by Schu mann and Saint Saet;s, with organ accompaniment. It is the desire of the college to make these vesper recitals de votional and meditative in charac ter. Sunday’s program carried out this idea and we feel that through this type of music we can gain spiritual growth. These recitals will be given on the sec ond Sunday afternoon of each month and every one is invited to attend. It is a part of a liberal education to learn to appreciate good music. Jazz always draws the rabble, but high grade music usually goes begging. In college communities it ought to be other wise. Maroon and Gold calls on the students to prove their cul ture by faithful attendance on these vespers. We are highly favored by having such an op portunity. The article below was written and handed to the editor by a member of the Freshman class. The Maroon and Gold is always glad to have any and all contribu tions that any member of the stu dent body feels inclined to write If you know of something that you would like to get across to the rest of the student body there is no better way than to write it up and hand it to the editor. In this way you are helping to build up your college paper and you are proving to yourself that you can do that kind of work: FRESHMAN LOYALTY To the average Freshman on the Hill “ratdom” is an extent of time through which he must pass that he would like to avoid. The very fact that he is looked down upon makes him feel unduly in significant and helpless. Too of ten he is inclined to ignore the more important side of the ques tion, thus losing the opportunity of enjoying the best privileges which come to every college stu dent. Each bne shows in his Freshman year just what he is capable of doing in the years ahead, and it is in the hands of the student body to determine whether the impression made was favorable or otherwise. There fore, the first principle of Fresh man’s loyalty to his class and him self is to satisfy others and not himself primarily. There are students in every school and class that thought it would be best and bravest to do as they pleased in their Freshman year, thus rebelling against the laws and customs established by those who have gone before. There is no other name for these but Bolshevists and no possible good can ever come living accord ing to their theory. In the future we will be called upon to lead and direct. It would be farce to think that good erals could spring from those who did not know the art of following. Thus I should mention obedience and respect as tie second prin ciple of a Freshnan’s loyalty to himself and his class. The Freshman must also be mindful of his studies and give them his best thought. 1 his not only brings honorable grades, which are indispeasible, but keeps the mind occupied upon lines which will eventually develop in to the most valuable courses. Study promotes love of study and love of study results in success no matter what the task may be. Then scholarship is the third prin ciple of Freshman loyalty. Every Freshman class has stu dents that do not understand the methods of social enjoyment. They are known as woman haters and man haters. If possible these should be eliminated, for society is the surest and best means by which a person may become self possessed and control himself in a gentlemanly or womanly man ner. The noblest that is in a per son is most often brought out by _ social process. So social dis tinction is the fourth principle of Freshman loyalty. Last, but not least, is the prin ciple of physical development as expressed and developed by the many forms of athletics. It is un fair to the individual for him to believe that he can put the most into life and receive the most joy from living without being phy sically fit. No one admires a weak ling nor is a “hook worm ’ very popular in a democratic school. Physical development also trains the mind to co-operate with those with whom you are working. Therefore, physical training is the fifth principle of a Freshman’s loyalty to his school, his class, and hilmself. H.
