Another Saturday has passed
and we haven’t lost another foot
ball game. BEAT DUKE!
Another Saturday has passed
and Duke University has lost an
other football game. BEAT
DUKE!
If some force, some power,
seeking your name, honor, prop
erty, or life were standing on
your threshold asking admittance
to the things you hold dearest,
we could see no more reason for
you to array in fighting “togs”
than you have for getting your
fighting blood up for Saturday
afternoon. BEAT DUKE!
DUKE GAME
Next Saturday afternoon will
mark the passing of something
new at Elon. It will be the first
time we have ever played Duke
football team on Comer Feld. To
the casual observer, it will be
just another game for Duke. The
outcome of it is unquestioned in
athletic circles. Apparently Duke
has odds on us at every turn.
Yet there is one particular in the
game in which w'e emphatically
defy them to claim supremacy
over us, and that is spirit. Last
year at Durham we were beaten
by our friends to the tune of 54-0.
Yet, not one time during the
game did a small band of rooters
on the south side of the field give
ground. Even after noise of the
conflict had died down, the strains
of “Here’s to Dear Old Elon”
seemed to linger in the air. That
is the spirit that dared to fight
a losing battle last year and that
is the spirit that is going to drive
our team on Saturday, drive them
to fight, first, last, and in be
tween. BEAT DUKE!
SOCIAL CLUBS
Some time during this week a
number of students will be asked
to join some one of the social
clubs on the Hill. This is quite
an honor and those who do re
ceive these invitations should
feel proud of the fact that their
record, since coming here, has
been such as to warrant these
clubs taking them in.
The social clubs here are broth
ers and sisters to the fraternities
and sororities which we find at
most other colleges. Their pur
pose is, as their names suggest,
to make the social life here on the
Hill more enjoyable. There are
eight of these organizations here,
four for the girls and four for| the
boys. They are all recognized by
the faculty and all have banquets
in the spring. Each of them has
been awarded rooms in either end
of the Religious Activities build
ing. These rooms are for the use
of the respective clubs, and can
be used as the clubs see fit, as
long as nothing is done to con
flict with certain rules, which
have been laid down by the
faculty. Each club has a repre
sentative on the pan-hellenic
council, whose duty it is to main
tain harmony among the clubs
and to act as a medium among
the clubs and between the clubs
and the faculty.
Under a ruling of the council,
no Freshmen are allowed to be
come members of either club, un
til after Christmas. When a stu
dent accepts an invitation to be
come a member of one of these
clubs he is becoming a closer
friend to every member of it. In
a sense, each member is your
brother, or sister. You should be
loyal to each member as if he
were your own brother, but when
situations are met, which concern
larger issues, your class, your
team, or your college, act the part
of a member of the student body.
In short, be a member of the
smaller group, when the smaller
group is concerned, but when
bigger things are at stake be a
member of the bigger group. If
the members of the clubs look
at. their relation to their own
club in this light then they and
their club are serving a good pur
pose here, if they do not then the
club will become a detriment to
the welfare of the student body.

Duke University would, uudoubtetlly,
consider it the crowning disgrace of
its career to be beaten by Elon Col
lege, on Comer Field. We take this
means of saying tiiis so that every
student will have a chance to know
this before Saturday. We want you to
remember that statement, and especi
ally would we want every student to
realize that not every “if is a can’t.”
—0—
Don’t be surprised if you see new
faces, or rather new appearances among
our girls. They are the same girls,
with a different hair cut. Boys are
advised not to leave pocket combs and
hair oil lying around too promiscuously,
because we feel sure that there will
soon be a great feminine demand for
the same.
—M— t
We are sorry to report that the
authorities of the power house have
found it impossible to install electric
lights on the athletic field. This is
really a serious state of affairs, too,
because we all know that the days are
getting shorter, and soon it will be
too dark for the football squad to prac
tice after 6:15.
—S—
While w’e are on the subject, we
would like to wonder what attraction
the track has for so many members of
the fo’otball squad?
—T—
All students who have old neck-ties
to contribute to starving Chinese
giraffes are requested to see George
Kelley, or Dan Long Newman imme
diately. They are now getting ready
to send their collection to the proper
authorities and they state that the com
mittee would also like to' have collars
to match the ties, as the said subjects
of charity have refused to wear mis
matched collars and ties.

Our definition of a poor sport has
been changed from the man who would
steal pennies from a baby and put him
on the wrong road home, to* the man
who would throw a trash can from the
third floor to the gym floor, and we
consider that, in the scale of sports,
or of men, that the newly defined poor
sport is quite a step down from the
old.
PHILOLOGIimS DISCUSS
SEPARATE AEBIAL COUPS
Advisability of Creating Separate De
partment For Air Forces Discussed.
Bowlin and Shepherd Mentioned.
Tlie Philologian Literary Society en
joyed a brief program last Thursday
evening. The new men as well as the
old are beginning hard work and in
teresting programs are resulting. The
new men are quickly falling in line
with the work.
The first number on the program
was a piano solo by G. P. Crymes.
The solo was equal to Mr. Crymes repu
tation as a musician.
J. M. Green gave a synopsis of ‘ ‘ Romeo*
and Juliet.” A sketch of the lives and
succesfies of Charlie Chaplin and Mary
Pickford was read by P. M. Smith.
Ralph Coggins discussed the many
differences between high schoo'l and
college football. Mr. Coggins stated
that since college players are more ex
perienced there is better coaching,
greater need for head-work, more sys
tematic playing, and more thorough
training found among college squads
than is found in high schools.
The advisability of separating the
aviation corps of our national defense
from the army and navy was debated.
V. Bowlin and Henry Peel championed
the affirmative while A. B. Johnson,
David-Shepherd, and J. B. Walker de
fended the negative.
The affirmative speakers declared
that there had been criminal negligence
in the administration of the American
aerial defense. Further it was pointed
out that since the air is rapidly com
ing to the front as the scene of war
fare, there should be a separate depart
ment in the President’s cabinet directly
interested in the aviation corps, thereby
assuring more efficient administration
of this branch of our national defense.
The negative based objections to the
plan on the ground of tlie necessity for
a great increase in governmental ex
penditures, and the need for a clo-se
connection between the aviation corps
and the army and navy.
The judge’s decision was in favor of
the negative. V. Bowlin was named
best speaker on the affirmative side
of the debate and David Shepherd, best
on the negative.
DEBATE FEATDRES THE
CLIO REOIILAD PROGRAM
Debate Revolves Around The Present
Day Discussion Over Advisability
of Having Air Service Separate.
The Clio Literary Society met in
regular session Tuesday evening and a
snappy literary program -was rendered,
featured by a debate. Before entering
into the literary session several busi
ness items were disposed of.
The following literary program was
rendered: *‘What My Religion Has
Meant To Me,” E. C. Brady. Mr.
Brady based his discussion on an article
of the same heading by
Mr. Carlton Thomas then gave his
favorite poem and told why it was his
favorite. This was followed by a dis
cussion on “Progress in Porto Rico,”
by Mr. Clifton Thomas.
After this preliminary program came
a hotly contested debate on the query;
“Resolved: That the U. S. Government
should establish a separate department
for the air service under a secretary,
similar to the Army and Navy depart
ments. The affirmative wasi upheld by
A. N. Greene and H. Richardson. The
negative by Mr. F. D. Ballard and G.
D. Colclough. The affirmative contend
ed that the proposed change was neces
sary in order to keep our air service
up to par. The negative held that the
proposed change was unnecessary and
that it would involve an increase in
taxation.
The judges reported the debate won
by the affirmative. H. Richardson was
adjudged the best speaker on the af
firmative and F. D. Ballard the best on
the negative. H. Richardson was
awarded the place of best speaker on
the program.
