Gotten Paculty Advisor Advertising Bates Upon Bequest A student body that won’t be beaten, can’t be beaten. —FX— Examinations are only a week off, we wish you well during that period. —EC— Reports that we get from the “g^mn” are to the effect that our basketball prospects are excep tionally good. What we need to do, as a student body, is to get that old fighting spirit up, and keep it up, too. —EC— A SUGGESTION TO THE ALUMNI Why don’t you write us a few lines about yourself? Are you too bashful to tell us about the good luck you have had since you left college, or how many times you have been married? Well, that’s all right. We are always glad to hear from you, so step right up and be the first to tell us how the world is serving you. hands on him, or them. Leaving aside the ^ide of the question that was discussed in chapel we speak from' the view point of the boys who' sleep in that building when we say that any one who took part in , that thing would do very well to keep under cover about it and well under cover at that. Any one who has any knowledge of it would also do well to keep under cover about it because it must be remembered that such a person is an accomplice in the eyes of the law. Now, finally, let us have our dormitory bonfires outside of the buildings. If you were not here during the time of the big Elon fire ask some one who was, be fore you take part in anything of the kind again. Also ask some one about the power house fire of last year, you will find that even during the noise that was raised that night some of the boys never woke up. What chance would they have of getting out of the North Dormitory were it to catch on fire, or w’ere it to burn? If you don’t consider your fellow student’s right to sleep and to study, for goodness sake con sider his right to live. >; >: Green Onions ^ >* The Boosters’ Club has returned, af ter shattering all rules of conduct and etiquette. This lias indeed been a won derful trip. The absence of taking gymn' and tlie chicken, turkey, pie, cake, etc., of Virginia made the earth have a greater gravitation for the boys. Even “Henry’’ Crymes, “Flos sie-” McLeod, and Clinton Lea who had been given up as hopeless, gained in weight, (though Clinton refuses to tell liow much). ^^'hile the boys were on the trip, they had the pleasure of visiting the Plant ers’ peanut and candy factory. We are afraid the company ran short of a I few peanuts and pieces of candy that ' day. —Pussyfoot, Jr. » « « While we‘re on the subject, have yoti heard Gibbs singing: “Somebody stole my gal,” and Ruston singing: “Yes, Sir, that’s my baby?” » • » Tlie Optimist The optimist fell ten stories And at each window bar He shouted to his friends: “All right so far.” * * * Students, I shall give a few hints on how to pass your exams: 1st.

On the other hand i father becomes present, and you we are bound to admit that there become a past principle, is ^ possibility of any one being MALICIOUS FUN On last Sunday night in the North Dormitory there was per petrated a deed of which the stu dents have all been reminded. It is well to use the term deed be cause that word coupled with an epithet is the only expression that we can think of that in the least describes the thing. For several weeks the joker has held sway and with all due respects for the goats of the jokes we are bound to admit that some very clever jokes have been pulled off. But when the joking gets to the point that the jokers have to start a fire in a dormitory, full of sleep ing boys, w'e claim that the joke business has lost the joke aspect and become criminal. The known details of the affair are that some person or persons went to the trouble to get a trash barrel from the basement of the North Dormitory and carry it to the third floor. This trash was then soaked with oil and set afire. Now. if it had been intended for Virginia. Po'ssibly the gentleman meant that Manager Cannon had the Boosters to wear elastic above their socks while on the stage—hence the Elon. sup porters. *' * * To The Dianas of The Chase Girls,‘ girls, there tliey go*. Some are fast, and some are slow. Here they meet, with wild elation, Scorching one another’s reputation.. Garrulous, fabulous, fat and lean. Serious, frivolous, and in between.

Apologies to Shakespeare Full many a jam has made a brow serene Grow furrowed with an earnest wish to swear; Full many a llour is bread to burn unseen And waste its fragrance on the kitchen air. * « « Diner: (Tn cafe) “This fish isn’t as good as that I got here last week.” Waiter: “That’s funny, it’s off the same fish.

Many teams would remain undefeated instead of a few. ‘With this aspect removed less publicity would be given the game by the press and the j)ublic imagina tion would not b© whetted so that the fever of interest would be forced up within the undergraduate bodies. “The necessity for spring and early season training would be done away with since the four games would be played on successive week-ends begin ning late in October. Practice, as at present cooild start two or three weeks before the first game. “The crescendo of interest, at pres ent, extending over eight games, would be limited to-four games; and so the large percentage of attention given football now would be lessened by the cutting down of the length of the sea son. ‘Colleger playing teams only in their own class and vicinity would minimize the commercial aspect of schedule mak ing and no college teams would be call ed upon to sacrifice themselves in order to make money for their institutions as at present. The altruistic motive given for these set-up games.” When our English cousins speak of second hand garments, they say “left off” where we say “cast off.” The following advertisment recently appear ed in a London paper: “Mr, and Mrs. Hardy have left off clothing of all kinds.

The only sure defense against tuberculosis is to stamp out the dread disease entirely. It can be done. Today only one person dies from tubercu losis where two died before. The death rate from consumption has been cut in half by the organized warfare carried on by the tuberculosis crusade. This organized warfare to stamp out this dread disease is financed by the sale of Christmas Seals. Buy Christmas Seals. Buy as many as you can. They cost but a penny apiece—but your dollars,added to other dollars, will save many lives and protect you and your family from the spread of tuberculosis.
