make the eating part short and snappy. After ceremonies are over—
push back that chair and relieve your poor back and tense nerves.
Make it a real social by going around and meeting old friends, and
also making yourself acquainted with the new faces that are present.
It is an absolute fact, that banquets have been attended, and some
few guests have arrived late onl)' to sit and eat and stare, then as
soon as the affair is ended, leave without meeting any one. Let’s ger
away from that old straight-laced formality. Let’s all be friendly,
for friendships are what really count in this great scheme of things.

Widening Circles
AND IT WAS CALLED ICHABOD
Life is something more than discipline: and that more is joy.
There is an epoch in the life of a student when time is a valuable
factor. Some of the most \ aluable time consumed in a student’s col
lege career is in chapel.
W hat happens in colleges at the present time does not concern
them alone: but it is a mat'ter of general interest and common con
cern to all the people. “Colleges have lost the self-sufficing power
of their traditional solitude and have become symptomatic of the
whole culture, or want of culture, around about them,” says one
writer. 'J'his culture can adequately be maintained with an hour for
chapel.
Chapel is the place where associations become more intimate,
where friendships are made, and a closer understanding of the group
is accomplished. Vital issues that concern the w'orkings, happiness,
comfort, and entertainment are presented. All this takes time.
Chapel Hour is a mainstay of any college.
Class spirit is dwindling fast. Organizations are not function
ing properly. All these major deficiencies can be attributed to the
short chapel period. Many of the foremost writers of influence state
that the coming generation is traveling at a very fast clip. Let’s
not rush Time and eliminate that fine sense of association. Let’s not
be automatons, but individuals of human worth. Let’s put self (the
hungry self) into the background and have a whole hour to meditat
and carry out our extra curricular activities "successfully.
AN APPEAL
EVERYDAY. BUT MORE ESPECIALLY NOW
.\lumni. did you ever hear about the mother one of whose sons
went wrong: .'^he loved that son the most; and when he was down ir
the gutter, it was the mother that put her arms about him and held
him close to her breast, fondly murmuring that she still loved him
and would gladly die to redeem him. That is mother love. Gradu
ates. what love do you hold for your Alma Mater?
The .\lumni who have no ambition, who will never amount to
anything, are in the minority. But these base characters can do a
lot of damage, can cause a lot of dissension. I'heir ]:irestige is nil,
and should be held in contempt.
The contribution of good will by a college alumnus is w^orth
more than all the gold in the world. The growth, the expansion of
a school, will not add any more prestige to it than the extent of
your worth. Then arises the question as to how much you are worth
to yourself, to your Alma Mater, to humanity.
A fellow once remarked. "See that hoodlum going there. He
doesn’t even belong to the human race.” He was a consistent knocker
—but every knock from certain individuals is a boost. What is
needed is constructive minds, minds that look on life seriously for
the purpose of bettering humanity. Our school is shaping the mind,?
of a small part of humanity. For it to be successful in the highest
degree, full co-o])eration from former graduates is essential.
The love, the gratitude that you have for your Alma Mater will
readily be reflected through your attitude. This attitude can be dis
played in many ways. One Great Way is to attend the Big Home
Coming Thanksgiving.
There will be many pleasures that the students wish to share
with you. The entire morning will be turned over to a general get-
tog'ether. Should you see some girl or boy that you should like to
meet and talk to. just say the word—and presto, he or she is yours
for the day—and now ! Then comes the football with Lenoir-Rhyne :
after that—a most sumptuous banquet. Then comes the Philologian
entertainment, which promises to be a rare treat, in that somethin.^
new in the line of amusement will be presentd. All that? Yea, all
that!
Tlie broad outlines of the develop
ment of society are probably much like
the outlines of the development of the
individual life. One of these tenden
cies, we may represent by a series of
enlarging circles.
An infant is not capable of rendering
service to others, and its powers and
interests are centered on service to self.
From .self-love, its circle of interest
widens to include the members of the
family. Some grown people develop
little be,vond the stage of the small
child. They are represented by the man
who ]u-ayed, ‘‘Lord bless me and my
wife and our son, John, and his wife—
us four aiid no more.”
•4s the normal child develops, its in
terests widen and its love extends to a
neighborhood. Some grown people fail
to grow beyoiid this circle, or add only
some members of their own church,
party, or race from other neighbor-
lioods.
The normal, fully developed man feels
his oneness with all humanity. His in
terest and his service are so wido that
they extend to an all-inclusive circle—
the world. In tliis class, are found such
persons as David Livingstone, Florence
Xightingale, and Louis Pasteur.
It will be of interest to examine our
selves and see in how large a circle our
interests mo’^'e. How far does our ser
vice to others extend?
“Oh, give me a manhood clean and
pure.
As the sparkling mountain stream;
And a faith that will brighten life’s
dark road.
Like the rising sun's clear beam.
And give me a hand that is firm ai
sure
To aid some burdened soul.
That I may lighten the heavy load.
And help him to reach the goal.
“Oh. give me a heart that will love
all men,
Hegardless of racc or creed,
That I may pity where there be pain.
And give where there is need.
If these things T ask be granted then
Jnst these four things alone,
I would not yearn for the wreath of
fame,
Or envy a king his throne.”
—Paul A. Chadwick
Come on, fellows! Let’s get in on
this preliminary debate and gain some
development for ourselves, and at the
same time help to make this an out
standing year in Elon’s debating his-
torv.
A THANKGIVING GAME AND
DINNER
DEBATERS, GET READY!
PRIMITIVE MAN—FOOD GETTING
The best way to win a man over to your side is by the way of
his stomach. As per past happenings—the pomp and splendor of
banquets was more emphasized than the food. The best radio out
fit on the market can be placed in the Y. M. C. A. and Y. \V. C. A.
for the amount of money expended for orchestras. A g-ood sensible
three course dinner with plenty of eats—served hot, radio music, and
an outside high-powered, inspirational speaker can all be had for a
small cost per member. Eliminate that long drawn out program;
“The debates for the North Carolina
Tntercollegiate Debating Society -u-ill
h)nge around tlie following querv:
“Resolved: That a substitute for
trial by jury should be adopted.”
“EIod will engage in three or mor(‘
debntes. The preliminary contest wil'
be held sometime in December. The
Faculty Committee desires that all who
are interested in lutorcollegiate debates
prepare a representative speech and
enter into competition as one of the
proposed debaters.”
The above given information was
handed to a Maroon and Gold staff m^'ui-
ber as an cfficial communication in re
gard to intercollegiate debates this
year.
It is understood that two of the de
bates mentioned are dual debates. The
third is a single debate that is being
arranged with Wake Forest.
The preliminary contest will not only
give the student a fighting chance for
the honor of representing his college
in an intercollegiate debate, but will
give him some valuable information on
a subject which is of vital importance
to every citizen. Debating affords an
especially fine opportunity for practice
in public speaking, since the challenge
of the contest and the freedom of ex
pression allowed, help one to overcome
the demon of stage-fright. Further
more, debating gives a fine exercise in
clear and logical thinking, and in
the use of forceful and persuasive
phrases. It will be readily seen how
valuable the development of these pow
ers will be to all citizens—to ministers
and merchants, salesmen and socializers.
No doubt but that the proud gobbler
Las strutted across the yard for the last
time; Farmer Jones has him in a pen
waiting for Thanksgiving eve. The
old boy has realized the fact that Elon
students and Alumni are to devour his
fiesh. Are you going to put your name
in the pot.’ Or have you already done
so?
Alumni, Thursday, XoTember 29, is
your home coming day. We, as stu
dents, are preparing and looking for
ward with great pleasure and delight to
having you with us. Yes, bring your
W’ife, or girl friend. We want to make
this the most successful reunion ever
held at Elon, and you are to play an
active part in making it so.
During the afternoon of this celebra
tion Lenoir-Rhyne is to meet us out on
Comer field for a football bout. This
game and the devouring of Jones’
turkey are outstanding features of the
day. This game is expected to be one
of the best of our season because of
the keen competition and rivalry be
tween the two institutions. Now w^e
need you to play the part of active
spectators, which will be a great help
to your team. The yells will be fam
iliar, our song the same. Be at the
game to see the class of ’32 represented
by thirty-one cherios. These thirty-one
boys have been rehearsing foT your
entertainment and pleasure. Hear them
rattle that tune when the band hits,
“Here’s to Dear Old Elon.” Alumni,
what tune could make you feel better?
At eight o’clock in the evening the
Philologians will entertain us with their
annual program. This is always good,
and a packed auditorium is expected.
Now, don’t forget, Thursday morning,
November 29. Get out the old Ford;
take the wife and baby, pin on the
^Taroon and Gobi colors, and run to
Elon.

whine,
“Give us the ‘Bears’ from' Lenon
Rhine. ’ ’
It’s up to all of us to give our heart

If we expect
beyond the goal.
After it is over, hear the

For the defeated Bears will be left

Will easily drive the Bears back Uy
