changes.
It has moved the chapel services up

PliES. HARPER LEAVES
FOR WASHIM,D.C.
President Harper left here Monday
night for Washington, D. C. During
the remainder of this week he is to be
in attendance at a meeting of the Con-
gregational-Ohristian leaders. The pur
pose of this meeting is to work out the
details for the unification of the two
churches.
A movement toward the unification of
these two churches has been on foot
for some time. President Harper has
been a leader in this forward more-
ment.
DR. ALEXANDER PREACHED
mspi
For the Sundtvy morning services Dr.
Alexander took for his subject “Face
to Face With the Master.’’ Tlie Scrip
ture read was Matt. 27:11-26. He
based his remarks on “What then shall
I do with Jesus, the so-called Christ.”
He declared that we today are in the
same position Pilate was when he asked
that question, and that oui- actions tell
either for or against Christ. He stated
that Christ is ever face to face with
us, and the sooner that we realize this
the sooner this world will come to Christ
for Life.
“What we should do is not to ask
“What shall I do with Jesus, the so-
called Christ, " but what are we going

OLD RELIABLE DAVE SHEPHERD
President of Student Senate
For tkree years Dave has been a
tower of strength to the Maroon and
Gold twirlers and they have felt his
steadiness radiating out to them and
strengthening them when they would
get into a hole. Dave appears to be
lieve in the old adage—“Deeds speak
louder than words.” For it is true he
has certainly accomplished many a rare
feat on the diamond but has been al
together to'o quiet about it.
Besides being a star of the first
magnitude in athletics, Dave has main
tained a scholastic standing which is
the envy of Tiiany of our renowned
campus grinds. His remarkable person
ality has won him only friends and no
enemies. His pox>ularity is evidenced
by his recent election to the office of
President of the Student Senate.

HURLEY SHEPHERD ELECTED
SUNDAY SCHDOL SUPT.
LOUIE ZEIGLER
The whole student body is glad to
see Louie’s cheery smile and suappy
stride up and down the campus this
fall. He performed as our ond last year
and did a brilliant job of it. Louie,
we all welcome you. So glad that you
are here.
Ziegler’s past experience qualifies him
to play his position in veteran form.
His cool head and strong dfltermination
make him a great asset to his team.
His uncanny ability to snatch passes
from the air gives the spectators a thrill
worthy of their support and admiration.
Ziegler, we predict for you a successful
eason.
SNAPPING INTO FORM
A Few Slight Injuries Reported, and
Our Friend, Louie, Has Reported
For Duty.
Tn spite of the fact that very few
men have sliown up for th^.! varsity to
scrimmage against, the “Christians”
are showing a marked improvement
over last week’s appearance. Coach
Walker has been putting his men
through a rather strenuous drill week,
“onsisting of light scrimmage and
ignal practice.
A steady down pour kept the team
indoors Tuesday and Wednesday, but
lieir time was used to a good advantage
in a skull practice. Coach Walker
hopes to return to Comer field Thursday
to resume practice, if the weather con
ditions permit.
A few minor injuries have occurred,
but the spirit of the team is at its
highest, and as a whole the physical
condition of the men is quite satisfac
tory.
Louie Zeigler, one of last year’s letter
men, is back, and we are looking for
him to show up evon better than last
year.
Williams, fullback, and Hughes,
tackle, are making a name for thewi-
selves, while Latham is showing no
mean form.
The “Christians” have a surprise in
store for us, a midget back field, con
sisting of Walker, Parks, Roberts, and
Dickerson.
The Religious Activities Organization
held an election in Chapel last Monday

Kanford, N. C.
Class—Senior.
Degree—A. B.
Sorority—Beta Omicron Beta.
Miss Nalle entered Elon in Septem
ber, 1925. We hear little about her
freshman' career, but since then she has
been an outstanding figure on the
campus. Among the many honors that
hove been bestowed upon her we find:
Sophomore class secretary; Junior rep-
esentative student council; most at
tractive girl ’26-27, and class favorite
’28.
Porliai>s the highest honor bestowed
ipou Miss Nalle was the election to
he presidency of the Student Council
’28-29. With her, as leader, we feel this
year will be a very successful one, and
that in this, as in all other activities,
she will prove to every one her cap
ability. In Miss Nalle we find a fine
student, a friend to every one, and a
born leader.

THE ADVANTAGE OF
A SIYIALL COLLEGE
The Department of Business Adminis
tration, under the direction of Professor
R. B. Tower, has tentative plans for
forming a club, consisting of a presi
dent, vice president, secretary and
treasurer, publicity director, board of
directors, and constitution committee.
Only students of the Business Depart
ment are eligible to become members.
The membership entails no cost. The
main requirement of this club will be
to attend the meetings, to hear some
notable speaker from thel)usiness world.
The advantages of a small college
ire many and very important; there-
cre I will endeavor to demonstrate
•hem in a very simple and understand
able manner.
In the first place, a student attending
i small college enjoys the opportunity
)f meeting all the professors. This may
eem a very insignificant tking to some,
)ut if we consider that professors are
he best educationally and socially de
veloped people in an educational institu
tion, then we are able to realize that
mingling with them is of great, im-
