IN MEMORIAM ROLLINS’ STUDENT BODY AND THE YOUTH OF TODAY We note in “The Rollins Sandspur," published by students of Rollins College, Winter Park, Florida, that, “The brave fight to save the life of Rena Schram was lost.” Six blood transfusions were made. Mrs. Schram, the girl’s mother, had given all the blood that could be safely drawn from her veins when friends reported the case to Rollins College. Dean Carrothers immediately went to the College Commons and called for volunteers. Every man present stood and ofifered his blood. A few were selected to report in relays for the transfusions. They were: A1 Rashid, Buddy Goodell, Ed Schur- man, Ronald Stillman and A1 Gough.” We “take our hats off” to the student body that is composed of such red blooded, true Americans as the above. You could find a few such men in almost any gathering. But the outstanding fact is, when the call was issued EVERY man stood and by that act oft'ered to shed his own blood in an endeavor to save the life of a fellow being. These well-bred, educated American youths did not hestitate. They were anxious to answer the call of service and to give freely of their life blood. This student body as individuals, and as a whole, has a wonderful opporttinitj? to tHe world what the real typv© ot youth is. Seldom do you find a gathering which, if taken individually, is as heroic as this student body. A few delinquents, although they are in the minority, can have a great effect on the actions of the whole body. It is the youth of today who will constitute the manhood and womanhood of tomorrow. Ma y noted men are calling on the youth to be real men, real women. They really believe in the youth and are looking to them to fulfill their beliefs, their cherished hopes, their dreams. It is to the educated youth they are looking; and we believe that the Rollins College case is a concrete example of the fact that the youth of today will NOT fail, but that they WILL fulfill the hopes, desires and dreams of philosophers and noted edu cators. —E C— THREE KINDS OF STUDENTS College students may be divided into three classes: professional loafers, those who are bright enough that they do not have to study, and those who must study. The professional loafer usually reads all the newspapers avail able and doesn’t mind disturbing other students, who may be study ing, in order that he may borrow more papers, a deck of cards, a checkerboard, or something else to while away the time. He usually just “gets by” on his quizzes by the aid of his open book. A few are bright enough that they are not required to study to pass their courses. Such students often “drop in” to talk and joke with their friends for a couple of hours, never thinking that their friends can’t “get up” tomorrow’s assignment in fifteen minutes, as they can. There is the majority f students who are forced to study to make a creditable grade. They take their work conscientiously. They must prepare their lessons. When either of the other types calls to see them they gladly welcome them and are too polite to even hint that they hould be working. Possibly they will have to work late into the night; but of what difference is that? They must be hospitable. Let us think it over and decide to which of these three types we belong? Take the other student into consideration. If we are professional loafers, bright students or those who are required to study, let us be careful and not infringe on the rights of the other student. —E C— ADVANCEMENT OF FOREIGN STUDENTS For the past several years a few foreign students have come to Elon College from time to time to receive an education. Japan, Cuba and Porto Rico have been represented, the greater number coming from Cuba. In 1924-25 there were five Cubans and two Japanese here. One Japanese, Miss Chiyo Ito, graduated. She finished the Mr. A. M. Johnson, father of Miss Emily Jolinson. head of our Expression Department, died November 2 at his liome in Fairmont. West Virginia. On hearing of lier father’s death, Miss Johnson left immediately for her home. Mr. J. D. Pritchette, a resident of Elon for the past several years, died at his home November 1. The student body and faculty join the Maroon and Gold staif in extending their heart-felt sympathy to both of the bereaved families. iTHt KWPIirKET From now on this column will be edited by Mr. Roinie Davis, who has been a very able and consistent con tributor since its introduction to the readers of this paper, itr, Davis will be very glad to receive contributions to this column and wel omes the co operation of all in making it one of the most enjoyable features of this paper.

Pussyfoot Johnson, Sr., has two ribs broken. Women are usually termed the weaker sex. !!!!!! When Freshman Carrow emerged from the showers the other day, he weighed three pounds less than when he entered. ?????? The writer was dispatched to Pro fessor Barney’s home one night last week with a batch of papers to be censored. While fumbling around for the doorbell, this is what was over heard: “Mrs. Barney, where in the world are my shoes?” “They're in the closet, but for good ness’ sake let them .lone. The old cat and three kittens are sleeping in one of them.” —By heck!— Oscar is generally thought to be a lying gossiper. but here is a truth for once: Elon’s tall yardstick, generally known as Levi Wil Ins, came iu at three o’clock the other night. He was ter ribly sick; he was suffering excruciat ing pain. Waking up “Chop Suey” Williams, he called for some medicine. “Chops” told him the medicine was on the dresser, and with that he again slumbered. Levi’s pain demanded quick relief. He blindly picked up the first bottle he saw and drank the en tire contents. This bottle happened to be Chop’s liquid hair curler. The next morning Levi was cured and was also the proud possessor of a head of beauti ful curly hair. —Levi et Gib— Warning! ! ! If Bedbug Deaton ever brings such a noisome record as A Typical Elon Sliiek The typical Elon shiek has lovely hair smoothed down with Chop Suey’s hair grease. His teeth are glistening pearls that are daily brushed with ? ’s tooth brush and Delos Elder’s tooth paste. The powder on his face is copiously displayed; it comes from ini Fowler’s powder box. He is always close shaven, for he takes particular de light in using “Shiek” Thomas’ sharp razor. Crusty Ring donates his shirt while “Pea Vine” Sawyer lends him a jazz bow. Big Hardy and Little David lend him suits on alternate days. His shoes are mirrors. Why not keep them shined, for Bedbug Deaton furnishes the polish, and Freshman Higlismith does the shining. What beautiful nails! Alex Wilson contributes the nail polish. Everj’-body except Percy Hudson lends him B. V. D. ’s. And to repay our kindness he flirts with all our girls! ! ! Pur-r, Pur-r-r-r— The Student Senate searching com mittee gladly announce that Miss Savage’s long-lost hair curlers have been found. They were secreted in Bubbles Womble’s room. The culprit will be severely punished. —S ’long— Here’s a bit of philosophy that comes direct from one who is wise: Stay single and wish you had got married, or get married and wish you had staid single. “Oh, spinsterhood, where is thy sting? oh, matrimony, where is thy reward?” —Adieu— PROHIBITION AND BOOT LEGGERS IN AMERICA A TASTY BREAKFAST Buns and Coffee Doughnuts and Coffee Toast and Coffee All Cereals ^ Eggs, Any Style J! Delicious Toasted Sandwiches (Contributed) Ten years ago, if I am not mistaken, prohibition was established in this great country; but the results have not been entirely satisfactory, because of the great number of “bootleggers” tliat have sprung up throughout the land. In the first place, let me say 1 am an immigrant to this country; and I want to point this out, because I think it worth while. Also, let me state that liquor is one of the main products of my native land; however. I am not fond of it. That may sound funny to some people, but there is not any fun in it. “’I hate liquor;” and after 1 explain something about it, I think that nobody will blame me; although this is a matter that does not need t be explained, because everybody knows the lamentable results of alcohol; but anyhow, I will .try to say something in regard to it. What are the main causes of crimes and misfortunes in this conntry or any other? If we stop to think for a moment, we soon will come to the conclusion that liquor is one of the most important causes of crimes and misfortunes, if not the only one. What can yon expect from a man who drinks in a. beastly manner? Furthermore, suppose he is the father of three or four children. What can you expect from those little boys who behold the example set by their own father? Nothing but undesirable men for their country in the future; because in most cases they w^ill follow in their father’s c OLLEGE OURT AFE W. C. GILLIAM, Prop, “Get It At Acme’ Burlington's Most Accommodating Druggists Arme Drug Co, Opposite Post Office footsteps. There may be some esn tions. blit these are few. Alcohol is one of the most danger* poisons that there is in the world,! cause it destroys the organisms tt pletely. Alcohol is one of the pmcif causes of an early death; and hi alcohol brings dishonor and diggjj to many a family in a good many: ferent ways. Why do we havescni!; automobile wrecks? The answer is easy and can be heard from any . who has just a bit of conuiion set It is alcohol. I don’t mean in allcaj because there are many other % that may cause an autonio'bile wret but I do think, and am Inclined to b lieve, that a good many of them i' caused by the terrible result ofalcoh How can this illicit trade in Mo be completely abolished in this coi' try? It is not so easy as it seems: be. but my opinion is that it is {• sible to abolish it. The mo'ciisMnet a criminal, and a bandit also. He a criminal, because the product best is a poison for any one who buys: and he is a bandit, because he an illicit business; moreover, he i« law breaker. Now, let me ask t question: What happens to a masfi kills another man in order to rtfbt of a few dollars? Or sometimes a cents? I don’t have to explain happens to him, because everybf knows it. Well, the man who ^ liquor, as I have already said, u bandit and a criminal. Why isitl^ the judges do not give him the ^ punishment, as they do to the man' kills another man with the purpc^t robbing him of the small amount he possesses? If that could be think that those who are really ing prohibition will soon find it- bootlegger, as you know, when ti* caught at his trade, is taken to jai' thirty days, or sometimes fined a ^ dred dollars. What does a hui'’‘\ dollars mean to him, when he times makes more than that night? What does it mean to hm remain in jail for a monthf Notto because he knows that after the^ alty is paid, he will be able to go into* the business again. In conclusion, I might say that bootleggers were punished lik^ ought to be, this great task of ing prohibition would be acconip'- at once and forever. . By A.
