TARDY HOWDIES
Alter all the hubbub, stress and strain of arranging the contest,
collectings news, and adjusting ourselves to the great scheme of ])ro
curing knowledge, this late greeting comes bubbling forth, both to
the old and the new, from the Maroon and (jold Staff.
• It is the desire of this paper to have at least one speaker each
month to give a brief discussion of some vocation that this old earth
has to offer. Now it is a known fact that usually all chapel speakers
put out about the same old line, "Study and the wcn'kl is yours ;”
but this is going to be different. The question now confronting us
is who should be the first speaker, a doctor, lawyer, merchant, or
thief. That will be for the majority of the students to decide by our
next issue, so that we may be able to publish the time and place.
' • THE GRIDIRON
The eyes of Sportdom will soon be focused upon that magic
word Football. The Collegiate world has placed its official' stamp
of appro\ al on this keen competitive game, where laurels are evenly
distributed betwen Coach—Team—and Student Body, as the major
sport of all athletic activities.
It is a marvelous thrill to see eleven good men tried and true
working in perfect harmony with one another as they sweep down
the field to victory. But who thinks of the struggle of the Coach j
and of the hard knocks each player has had in perfecting- this mighty |
machine. Our hearts swell with pain, when we watch them practice j^''
this hot weather, all bruised and battered, aH wet and dust smeared
plodding in with a hunched-over stride of their tired bodies : yet published. Dr. Debunk l

A DREAM
Long ago a certain young man ol‘
Syria trioked and cheated his brother
and, in order to save his life, was force:!
to run ;wny from home. WIioti he w;is
sleeping one night, there came to liini
a beautiful dream in which he saw a
ladder wliich readied from earth to
heaven. That seems to have been a
turning point in the young man’s life.
For us, too, in spite of the wrongs
and failures of our past, there are
visions of a connection between earth
and heaven. There are visions which
(*all us up tO) higher jdancs of life.
“Loyalty to present duty” is the pass
word by which we qualify for bigger
duties. By putting a beautiful spirit
into tlie work of ordinary life we at
tain to the life beautiful. We can rise
to what is high only by overcoming
what is low.
‘‘T helil it truth with him wJ>o sings
To one clo;n- harp in divers tones,
That nipn may rise on stepping-stones
Of their dead selves to better things.”
‘‘We rise by the things that are under
our feet;
Ry what we have mastered of good
and gain,
By the pride deposed and the passion
slain,
And the vanquisheil ills that we hourly
meet.”
Then,' if w(> know not how we can fol
low our ideal:—
“The distant mountains that uprear
Their solid bastions to the skies
Are crossed by pathwHys that appear
A.s we to higher levels rise.”
But some of the angels on Jacol.t’s
dream ladder were descending. The
finest character is not developed by
tiiinking onily of self. Christ on the
n'ountai)) of transfiguration was a glori
fied and wonderful Christ: but was he
less wond.erful when, in human forin at
the foot of the mountain, he healed the
insane boyV Perhaps as sciem-e makes
us more accustomed to seeing dis[>lays
of power and beauty we shall decide
that Christ showed more of Go-d’s nature
by his acts of pity and service than by
the miracles which meant so much to
the people of His time. At least it will
be agreed that nuin is most nearly
ivine when he keeps the Christdike
qualities in his life and ‘'descends the
ladder” that he may share the suffer
ings of others and help t-hem to arise.

ORGANIZED ALUMNI
The third issue ut the Alumni Voice has made its ajjpearance.
The first issue of the magazine appeared cm h'ebruarv ist, 1928.
Since that time it has been issued each quarter.
This magazine was started with the idea in view of giving- onr
alumni something to contribute to. Many of them have taken ad
vantage of this opportunity, but others, that are fully capable, have
ne.glected doing' so. It is the earnest desire of the .Alumni Voice
Editor. Pri'f. 1. W. Barney, that eaeh alumnus feel free to write for
thi'^ magazine. However, he is very anxious to hold the' standard
■■•f the .-\lumni Voice above that of the! average colle,ge paper. In
other words, he wants each contributor to give thou.ght and' stud\
ti' his article.
The next issue of the Alumni Voice will appear in November.
This i^sue is to ha^■e articles by such men as Dr. S. C. Harrell, Dr.
1. E. Rawls. Rev. H. ,S. Hardcastle, Rev. J. Ci. Truitt, Rev. C. W.
Hook. Hon. (ieorge F. \\ hitley and others! It is expected that this
will be one of the moat interesting issues so far. One of the featur'j
