His outstanding success as an athlete, and j:nijt"-Ticccss a coach can out a doubt that he has that keen in sight to handle men. Here’s to you Co-ach, the whole school plus the team are behind you. It is a source of heart breaking agony, a problem for deep thought— has Miss Sternes captured hert much coveted prize “A Man?” Better yet, we would like to know what Professor Van Cleve’s plans are. Seventeen of the Elon College fac ulty members are attending summer schools this season either as students in their respective fields working on higher degrees, or as teachers at the summer schools in their subjects. They are scattered out over a wide range of territory in the Southern, Eastern and Middle Western States as follows: President W. A. Harper is at Colum« bia University engaged in research work in religious education. He is assigned the problem of “What con stitutes a major in religious education for the denominational colleges based on what the departments of religious education of the colleges and universi ties of the United States are now of fering.” Mrs. Harper accompanied President Harper to New York and she is a stu dent at Columbia, pursuing courses in voice and musical appreciation under Dean Butler. Miss Florence Fisher is also at Columbia taking work in the music department. Fioi. «T. W. Bariicy and A>r. Jay are at the University of Virginia, in the English department. Professors W. J. Cotten, L. D. Mar tin, and S. A. Bennett are students at the University o'f Chicago in their re spective departments. Two of the Elon faculty members are teaching in summer schools: Dr, T. C.

The entire sorority will be invited and the affair promises to be one of genuine joy, and coming just prior to the opening of college, makes it more interesting to the girls. The party will be chaperoned by Misses Stella Stout and Hattie Walker. Those who are planning ta attend are: Misses Margaret Joe Ballentine, Ruth Crawford, Jeanette Stout, Wilson Gatewood, Dorothy Belvin, Margaret Terry, Novie Smith, Frances Turner, Annie and Gladys Simpson, Sue Ella Watts, Callie and Gladys Spruill, Malva (Continued on Page 4) ALPHA PI DELTA PLANS SUMMEi! CAMP Alpha Pi Delta, the youngest frat ernity on the “hill,” was organized and recognized by the faculty on March 19, 1925. There were ten charter members but since that time the membership has been much increas ed by the addition of several of the most outstanding students who' have achieved distinction in literary work, in college activities, and in athletics. The organization is doing much in pro moting scholarship and fellowship in the Elon student body. Plans are now practically complete for a week's camping trip for the Alpha Pi Delta boys. This camp will be held from August 29 to September 3. Head quarters for the -camping party will be Hook’s cabin on the banks of the Capon Eiver in the West Virginia mountains. This place is easy to reach by motor, being only 23 miles from Winchester, Virginia, and yet it is secluded enough for an ideal camping (Continued on Page 3) OELTA OPSILON KAPPA PARTy AT WHITE LAKE Delta Upsilon Kappa Sorority will hold its annual house party at White Lake August 14th, through 28th.

The plans call for the week of August 21-28 to be spent at Minnesatt Beach, Araphahoe, N. C. It is expected that at least thirty of the fraternity boys will be present to en joy this camping trip and forget the troubles that have been pursuing them during the summer. Needless to say that this will be a happy meeting. Some have not seen cach other for four or five years. How ever, the majority of those who attend will be the students of last year. The boys plan to meet at Elon Sunday morning; however, some will spend Saturday night, and from there they will journey to Minnesatt Beach. This beach is located between New Bern and Morehead City.
