Benton Marjorie Moore BACK TO WORK Vacation days are about over; now let’s settle down to work. Let’s leave thcj playtime days and settle down to the business of acquiring a little knowledge. There are many desirable things this life has to offer, and the only way to acquire them is by industry. When school lets out in the spring, there is a hankering to just bask in the good old summer sunshine. The brain is idle; business interests are shoved into the discard : home life neglected. Every one wishes to play. Ere many weeks, the green leaves will be taking on brilliant hues and forming a carpet of incomparable designs of beauty for our in dustrious feet to tread upon. Jack Frost is just around the corner. And Christmas holidays are looming in the offing, inviting the stu dent to use a few extra ounces of energy in securing that trifling gaiety he or she will enjoy. It is time now to settle down to work; and when finals come around you will not have to sweat blood in striving to convince the professor that you know something. There are so many desirable things that this modern life has to offer for all-the-year-around com fort and satisfaction. And how may we acquire these things? WORK! CONTEST The Maroon and Gold staff has placed a proposition before the student body this year to test out its ability to sell. It is an op portunity of which every student should take advantage. There are many benefits that you will receive. You will learn how to talk to people and develop your personality. Then, too, you will be instrumental in helping to make your college paper bigger and better, both financially and in literary value. You will' be contributing to your college in helping to maintain its prestige and that olrf Elon Spirit. TO FRESHMEN You stand on the threshold of a college education. You stand in the door of the greatest opportunity of your life. Men and women in the very prime of life envy you. Your college life is before you, your future career looms over the horizon. Remember your attitude during your college life will mean more toward your success or failure than anything you possess. It will pay to be fair to your studies, to college activities, athletic, religious, and social. Launch out into the open field of usefulness. You are needed at the top. Don’t over look the fact you are competing with your fellow classmates—not the teacher or the graduate—yes, you are even competing with yourself. —Red Book. Perhaps the noblest story fouud on all the pages of history is the story o.f man’s struggle for freedom. Human liberty is a booTi so sweet that the lives which have been sacrificed to win it and the “eternal vigilancenecessary to preserve it are a price not too high. However, dethroning kings and kaisers never can win for' men the fullest liberty. Ignorance, superstition, and passion are the worst of masters! If a man is so ignorant or superstitious that his actions are limited and mis directed, or if he has a temper which causes him to" act in a wrong way, that man is not free. How may we gain true freedom? One stepping-stone to freedom is knowledge. In a sense, the man who can do the most things is the man who is freest. The chemistry professor has mere freedom in the chemistry lab than do most of us; for be knows how to use the chemicals and apparatus there to obtain results which are impossible to persons who have not studied chemistry. In the physical w^orld, every attempt to disobey law must end in failure. The men who have invented such vehicles as automobiles and aeroplanes, and thus, have given mankind greater freedom of movement, have made these inventions by working in harmony with and using the laws of nature. The second stepping-stone to liberty self-control. In civil matters, the man who seeks liberty by disobeying laws may lose his liberty and be shut up in prison; at least he will lose' the privilege of moving about among his fellowmen unafraid. In so'cial matters the sani^ principle holds good. Instead of gaining freedom, the person who dis obeys the rules of right conduct is building walls which shut him from the fullest social liberty—the gossip is not wanted where truly gentle people gath er, and the ignoble man loses the right to enter unashamed into the love of a noble girl. On the other hand, the per son who is faithfully obedient to the laws of life wins so fully the esteem and confidence of his fellowmen that he may be given the privilege of earing for their property, is a welcome guest in their homes, and is permitted to en joy every right liberty. Each person- must find true liberty for himself. If you obey the laws of healthy living, you are worthy of and may expect to have good health. If you obey the laws of your country, you are worthy of the privileges of citizenship. If you live right socially, you are worthy of a respected place in society. Most of the sadness in this world is caused by people who try to find, happi ness and liberty through disobedience to law. In business, in society, and in life, the highest achievements and the fullest liberty belong to the people who know and obey the highest principles. ‘COIiIiEaE—A JOY’ The faculty is an essential oTganiza tion in every college. Without it there wculd be no worries about receiving letters from the registrar on the first of the month. On coming to college a, little earnest efi'ort is expected. At the same time the more pleasant things in college are expected, socializing being a fair ex ample in the co-ed school. More pleasures can be had while in college if, some one is made responsible for their existence. During the nine months that the college is in session each year many social functions are enjoyed. On such occasions the charms that music has on the soul are beyond expression Greater be»efits are derived fro-m such occasions if music is given a part. Both instrumental and vocal solos are effective, but it goes without saying that this type of music is too light. Music that penetrates, music that has rhythm, harmony, syncopation, is the kind that stirs up real spirit. From such music there is a magneti3 power that can melt the most hard-hearted. The little brook that trickles idly down its bed, begins to bubble with joy on hearing the syncopated music. Now in addition to the other pleas ures in college life, the orchestra is the soul binder, the stimulus that causes every conceivable pleasant and emo tional sensation to act as one. Talk up such an organization, demand it. There is' no reason why Elon should nol have an orchestra. We need it. We must have it. E. E. R.

Oscar has finished his summer vaca tion and has returned to the campus to help hold it within its walls for another term. Evidently his prowling around this summer has been a success, resulting into* his bringing us a nice lot of fresh material for various pur poses. On the 6th of September, Thurs day night of last week, Oscar decided to measure the talents of his summer’s collection. He found them to be able to parade, dance, sing, recite, and bark vigorously at the huge “31” on the college water tank. In front of the West Dormitory one can see the pass ing army “salute” the “31” there. Some see in it their master’s class in signia, others the 31st block in the pav ed walk, others the age of the college, and some say, “Wliy, that stands for my age.” “Oscar” allowed them to go to bed at an early hour in the morn ing.
