NUMBER 23 WE CAN DO MORE THAN PAINT TANKS Friday Marked 6th Anni versary Of Elon Fire Greater Elon Day is Also Greater Psykaleon Day. Fine New Buildings Help Make Elon Bigger and Better. On January 18, 1923, Elon College was burned to the ground. Then, it seemed a great losa and misfortune, but now it is to us a great gain. Elon should conquer, Elon will conquer, Elon did conquer. In place of the buildings that were burned to the ground we have the fol lowing modern, up-to'-date buildings: The Administration building, made pos sible by the citizens of Alamance coun ty; the Duke Science building, made possible by the late Duke Brothers; the Christian Education building, made possible by M. Orban, Jr.; the Whitley Auijitorium, made possible by J. M. Darden, and the Carlton Library, made (Continued on Page 4) B. 0. B. GIRLS WEBE OELIGHIFOLLy ENIERUIBED NOTICE!

PSYKALEOIiS GIVE GOOD the Since the memorable morning six years ago when old Elon went up in jsmoke and a new Elon was imjnediate- ly underway, January, the eighteenth has been observed as “Greater Elon Day” and also as “Greater Psykaleon Day.” It is at this time that the Psykaleons give their nanual entertain ment in the Whitley Auditorium. The program for Eriday evening, January the eighteenth, was as follows: Welcome—Clara Uinidei-wo-od.

(Continued on Page 4) The preliminaries of the intercollegi ate debating team are now over, and our teams are burning midnight oil pre paring to represent “ole” Elon on the platform for this season. In order to select men for the teams, two try-outs were held. One was held last Thurs day evening at seven-thirty o’clock and the other Monday afternoon at four o’clock. There were seven men, who tried for places on the teams. They were: G. D. Underhill, A. H. Jo’hnson, Fied Smith, Daniel Boone, W. R. High- smith, L. C. Williams, and H. N. Truitt. The judges were Professors Brannock, Van Cleave, and Wliite. The question was: Resolved, that a substitute for our present day system should be adopt ed. Each speaker was allowed his choice of sides of the question. There were already four men on the (Continued on Page 4) The Freshmen will look, listen, and act, but they will not stop. The act ing is not as much as that of the upper classes, but there will come a time. Yes, there will come a time when mem bers of the Class of ’32 will fill places now held by upper classmen and how. How? That is a bird of another color, but it is a pleasing color. Judging from the start the Freshmen have made, we believe there is a worth-while future for the class. Although the Freshmen have not had much publicity, they are still here, and a “ready” class they are. With of ficers such as the Freshmen Class has, there is no wonder that it is such a “coming” class. The officers of the class are as fo'llows: President, Fred Dickerson; vice-president, Ural Wat son; secretary, Mabel Barrett; treas urer, Frances Ring. The activities of the class are not limited to the class, but they extend to all other activities of the school. The Freshmen are represented in the Student Council by Mabel Coghill, and in the Student Senate by Walter Latham. The social clubs have even taken in some Freshmen who are easily j told from those not having the fortune to get in, because they bring cushions to class with them. At a recent meeting the class chose their colors, flower, and motto. At the beginning of the meeting a report was given by the committee-which had been (Continued on Page 2) FRESRDIEIIACRIEVEWENTS III ATHLETICS AT ELON Elon Basketball Squad Returns From Va.

KAPPA PSIM FBAT HAS FEED IN BURLINGTOH At last, the rushing season is over and many new men liave been taken into the Fraternities. After this season is over the activities seem to begin at once. Tbursdny night the now and old active members of the Kappa Psi Nu Fraternity journeyed down to Burling ton, where they vfere the guests of the Alamance County Kappa Psi Nu men at a chicken supper. The men assembled at the Washing ton Cafe at 9:30.

Tower talked to the Eono mics Club, using as his subject, “Busi ness of 1928, Business Outlo'ok For 1929 ” Prof. Tower had a well prepar- ed^alk and brought to us many worth while and interesting facts. He talked largely along the line of big business, such as General Motor Corporations, Big Banking Houses, and the Stock Market. He spoke of the many mergers in the business world during 1928. Business as a whole was good during (Continued on Page 2) Boys of ’32 Doing Good Work In Toot- ball and Basketball. As this week’s issue of the Maroon and Gold is being put out by the Fresh man Class we should like to call to your attention the things that the boys of the Class of ’32 have accomplished in athletics already in these five months. At the end of the football season, of the twenty men who still remained on the squad nine were Freshmen; almost one-half of the gridiron squadron. Out oJ this numlber live were playing regu lar positions on the varsity, and all were playing a jam-up game of ball. Watson, the Ho'osier school boy from Indiana, and Hughes, a product of Gra ham, North Carolina, were holding lown the guard positions in fine style, ’.vhile Rollins, that lanky Kannapolis lad, was putting up a nice game at one of the flank positions. Then in the backfield the first-year boys had Walter Latham at one-half. Walter hails from Washington in the Tar Heel state, and is about the hardest working man on just anybody’s old squad. “Pete ' Williams, that West Point, Georgia flash, was the gentleman who held the (Continued on Page 3) GIELS ELECT HEAD PEOCTEE In a meeting after chapel Monday morning Miss Alma Kimball was elect ed head proctor to take the place of Miss Margaret Eietsell, who did not re turn for the spring semester. The entire student body of Elon College joins with the Maroon and Gold staff in expres sions of deep sympathy for Earl and Pitts Vickers in their recent bereavement. The death of their sister.

HOWSABE BEGINS REVIVAL SERVICE HEBE Makes Two Impressive Talks Sunday This week we are very fortunate to have with us Dr. McD. Howsare, who is secretary of Evangelism and Life Work of the Christian Church. Dr. Howsare a man of wide experience in evan gelistic work, is sympathetic, and has a true understanding of youth and its problems. Dr. Howsare will speak in the audi torium every night this week and will conduct the regular daily chapel ser vices throug*hout the week. We feel sure that each and every one will be greatly benefitted by Dr. Howsare > stay with us. Dr. Howsare began his series of lec tures Sunday morning. He explained (Continued on Page 4) DR. HOWSARE MAKES INSPIRING CHAPEL TALK The Elon basketball squad returned Saturday afternoon from a four-day invasion of Virginia. During the trip some of the outstanding teams of Vir ginia were met. Emory and Henry was played Tuesday night, Virginia Poly technic Institute Wednesday night, Vir ginia Military Institute Thursday night, and Bridgewater College Friday night. V. P. I. and Bridgewater College were defeated, while losses were suffered at V. M. I. and Emory and Henry. The men making the trip were Cap tain Briggs, Z. Walker, Sims, Kelly, F. Caddell, Rollins, Latham, Watson, P. Caddell, and N. Parker. MARIONETTES PROVE VERY INTERESTING “Are you going to see Tony Sarg’s Marionettes this afternoon and to night?” You heard this all over the hill Wednesday morning and early af ternoon. After the programs different questions were flying back and forth again. This time they were: “Did you go? Did you like them? Which did you like better, afternoon or night? Wasn’t this good or wasn’t that good?”, etc. The afternoon program was very dif* ferent from that of the night. It open ed with Greedy George, the Human Puppet. Fo’llowing this was a most enticing little play of three scenes in which Little Red Riding Hood was shown leaving home and going to her Grandmother’s cottage, where instead of finding her grandmother she found (Continued on Page 3) WEEKLY FRENCH CLOG PROGRAM RENDERED Dr. Howsare, Secretary of Evangel ism and Life Work of the Christian Church, has secured and kept the atten tion of the whole student body by his inspiring talks in chapel. Monday morning Dr. Howsare’s topic was “The Two Agencies With Which We Are Able to Better Our Lives. ’ ’ He explained that the agencies were Divine and Human. His main thought was brought out in wliat he termed the Outlets of Power.” The first ooitlet (Continued on Page 2) PROFESSOR VELIE TO ACGDMPANY HSCKETT Professor Velie’s services are very much in demand as an accompanist. Last season he accompanied Arthur Ilackett, noted tenor, in a recital at Mississippi State Teacher’s College. Recently he received a request from Mr. Hackett to play for two recitals in Florida next month. One will be given at Tallahassee, and the other at Key West. Mr. Hackett has sung over the radio for the Atwater Kent Company. He was the assisting artist with Melba on her farewell tour in England. Berth the faculty and the students of the college appreciate having at the head of the Music Department a person as capable and well known as Prof. Velie. The regular weekly meeting of the French Club was held Tuesday afternoon in the Y. W. C. A. After the reading of the minutes of the last meeting and the roll call, the regular business ses sion was held. The Club elected Mr. Andrews vice-president, as this office was vacant. The members of the Club are striv ing to learn several French songs, among these are “Alonette” and the Marseillaise.” Some time was spent in practicing these, and it could easily be seen that the members are learning to sing these songs. A reading, “Com passion,” was given by-Roy Richard son. Professor Guillet conducted a game, “Un Jeu Alphabetique,” in which all the members took part. The French Club under the direction of Professor Guillet is doing much to promote interest in the study and learning of French at Elon, and offers a go'od opportunity to all French stu dents. OLIOS TO PRESENT PROGRAM WASHINGTON’S BIRTHDAY With Washington’s birthday only one month off the members of the Clio Literary Society are hard at work. As every one on the ‘^hilP’ knows, this day is set aside at Elon as “Clio day.’' On this day the Clios give their annual public performance, and they are now making definite plans for their enter tainment. Ta tell what the program will consist of would be letting the cat out of the bag ahead of time, so we’ll just be patient. Suffice it to say that the Clioa intend to put on one of their usual high calibre programs.
