ELON’S BUSINESS MANAGER
It has not been many years since colleges first began to dispense
with Bursars and to engage Business Managers. The first individual
to hold that office at Elon is still filling it, Dr. T. C. Amick.
The Business Manager of a modern college not only sends out
bills and collects and disburses money. He buy all supplies, hires
all help, and is responsible for operating the institution within the
budget adopted by the Board of Trustees. He is the custodian, too,
of the college buildings and grounds, and of its invested funds. It
is a man-sized job, and only a few men can fill it successfully.
Dr. Amick has won the praise of experts in college accouirting
for the splendid set of books he has installed in Elon business offices,
and he has been remarkably successful in saving the college money
through wise buying and the introduction of methods of economy
in the conduct of the institution’s business program.
Students who do not have money to pay their bills, sometimes
get the idea that the Business Manager is stern and hard-boiled.
But they are mistaken. Dr. Amick has a warm and tender heart.
He knows it is good training to require young people to meet their
obligations promptly, and besides he must maintain the college’s
reputation by meeting its obligations promptly. He is forced, there
fore, to collect from those who owe the institution. Dr. Amick is
passionately devoted to Elon. Every brick around here is dear to
him, and he is jealous for the college’s progress. You cannot but
admire such a devoted man.
In this connection let us say that it costs Elon $119.23 more
per student to pay for his instruction alone, to say nothing of the
other costs of educating us students, than the student pays. When
we students consider what the college gives us outright, we will ^P“ | _ r'lim'mm

We hear that one of the Senior re

year is a “date’’ with “Miss Con
cord.” and that all conversation with
her during the said “date” be carried
on through the use of the “romance
languages.

Let us observe right here that the
students of this college heartily appre
ciate tlie splendid account of our game
with State College as given by the
“Greensboro Daily News.” It was
truly a case of a scrappy team being
hopelessly outweighed. This was no
“moral victory;” it was a glorious
fight against heavy odds, and we’re
right here to back you up, little team.
Keep it up!

Advertising in the Maroon and Gold
has been solicited this fall by an appeal
to advertisers to give us a try-out w'ith
the understanding that if no results
are secured they could discontinue their
ads. Most of our ads so far have been
secured with this understanding. This
places the issue squarely up to the
students. Some students think that

Maroon and Gold is ended. It is your
duty to sufiport it by subscriptions, by

of the most important. It is also the
easiest to perform. You will spend so
