PASSES philanthropist and Great Friend of Elon Dies in California. an APPEECIATION of m. orban, JR. Elon is called upon again to mourn the lost of a great and good friend. On Saturday morning, February 2nd, Mr. M. Orban, Jr., passed to his eternal reward at liis home in Whittier, Cali fornia. A telegram that day from Mrs. Orban announced the sad intelligence of the decease of one of the mo’st de voted and generous friends the cause of education in the Christian Church tas ever had. The interment was in Whittier on Tuesday, February 5th. A memorial service was held at the hour of the ■funeral in the Mooney Christian Edu cation Building—the gift of Mr. and Mrs. Orban to the College in memory •of Rev. Isaac Mooney, father of Mrs. 'Orban. During “the memorial service, over which Dr. W. S. Alexander pre sided, the following program was rendered: Song—How Firm a Foundation. Invocation—Dr. J. TJ. Newman. Scripture, Pa. 24:1-5; Matt. 5:3-8, 14-16—Prof. Ross Ensminger. Memorial Address—President W. A. 'Harper. Solo—Come Ye Disconsolate—Prof. ■C. James Velie. Prayer—Prof. S. A. Bennett. Mr. Orban was one of the gentlest and kindest men it has ever been my privilege to know. From the moment I first grasped his hand at the Union Station in Los Angeles in August of 1923 until the day of his decease, I ■have felt that in him Elon College and the other institutions of higher learn ing of our Church liad a staunch and (Continued on Page 4) fiLEllt 10 BRySII t- « » ^1!?

JUNIOR CLASS CLASS DUES The way in which the students voiced their sentiment toward the backing of the 1929 Phipsicli was very gratifying. It was vot ed by all the classes to have their grades withheld and no credit given until their class dues were paid. This move is not what some might term it ’’forcing the students to pay for their class’ representation,’^ but more of a willing obligation on tlie part of the majority of the student body. Do not let this enforcement mean a rule to make you pay your just obligations. Come into the Phipsicli office and pay up, or see your class treas urer. Now that we have made the move toward advancement, let’s j back up the Maro'on and Gold as well. SHALL WE HAVE ONE RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATION OR SIX By E. F. Knight FEENCH CLUB (Editor’s Note: The student body may be asked to decide whether they will retain their present religions or ganizations or carry the idea of integra tion on to completion. In order to stimulate discussion and help to pre pare the student body to decide the mat ter aright, Messrs. Moses and Foushee present briefly arguments on the two sides of the question.) Let’s Keep Our Religious Organizations There are advantages in a college’s having the same types of student re ligious organizations which are found in other colleges. This makes avail able for their use the literature which is prepared by the people who are most experienced in the religious w'ork of young people. Further, if a professor or student comes to Elon from another college, he readily finds his place in the religious life of the campus. For Elon to adopt a single religious organ- (Continued on Page 3)' JCNIOE-SENIOR BANQUET TO BE HELD FEBRUARY 27 Let Us Integrate The Student Religious Organization The various religious organizations, as they are now functioning are un satisfactory. They are merely empty organizations which are not taken seri ously by the students. 1 asked the president of the local Y. M. C. A. about the type of work that the Y was sup posed to do, and he answered, “Ever since I was elected presi.dent of the Y. M. C. A. I have been hunting for the organization, but , as yet I have not been able to find it.” Several boys have been asked if they are members of the Y. M. C. A. and each has answered, “If I am I do' not know it.” These facts give you an idea of what part the Y. M. C. A. is playing in the life of the students. Probably the young ladies have found their Y. W. C. A., but as yet we have seen no very definite results coming from their endeavors. During the year ’27-’28 I happened to be President of the Elon College (Continued on Page 3) For the first time in the history of the sister institutions. Defiance College sent her cagers to the Elon Court. We had the pleasure of entertaining them for a few days, and tried to give them a warm welcome although the weather refused to let them see the “sunny South. ’ ’ iLast year, the Elon Christians made 0, northern trip and met the Defiance cagers for the first time on their own court. They gave our team a splendid welcome and two defeats. The result of the two games here showed that the teams have a sisterly spirit, since they divided the series 50-50, Elon taking the first game. Elon Victorious Over Defiance, 26 to 19 February,Feb. 2.—The game com menced very satisfactorily, as the “Fighting Christians” located the basket early. The game took a milder phase when the Defiance cagers tied the score at 8 all, and, because of the strong defense of each team, the score remained tied for the first half. In the second half the Christians (Continued on Page 3) ,v- MISS LILA NEWMAN Class Sponsor Gives Message to Juniors “Parlez vous Francais?” Yes, I at tend the French Club meetings, and it is wonderful how they help to en large my French vocabulary. There is always a French song or two, and those games. My! but they’re enter taining. Have you ever worked a French cross-'word puzzle? You would if you belonged to the Frencli Glub. A French Club is an asset to any college whose curriculum embraces this language. And Elon is lucky in this respect. Last Tuesday afternoon from 4:30 to 5:30 the following program was de lightfully rendered: Songs—Le Brigadier, Frere Jacques- Beading—^Frances Eing. Cross Word Puzzlei The game-^eux de Vocabularie,-— eonducted by Dr. Guilett, concluded 1 tlie program for the afternoon* It was a most pleasing surprise to be told that I had been chosen sponsor for a class. However undeserving I felt, I was very proud of the honor Many of yon I knew intimately, I hoped to know you all. A year has passed and I am! no nearer my goal. To you, very fine young women and men who have thus honored me, I thank you. Nearly three years of your college days have passed. The last year will pass faster. I want to- know you, not Just your names, but YOU. I would like ifor you to ask something of me Probably I could not do it, but I should like a chance to try. I can look back with pride over yooir achievements these two and one-half years. I recall our pleasant meetings; our chfeerful greetings as we pass on the campus or in the halls, even the friendships I iave found. But that does not satisfy me.

Just think how those who can’t attend this, our banquet, envy the Juniors and Seni ors. And I know we’ll be there, 100 per cent strong. February 27th—the day of days.

He is mak ing a splendid record as captain of the Varsity basketball team.‘ Coach Walk er has nimed Lefty a« an athlete whom he has never heard say a word to show anything but fine spirit when others have beeii displeased with the playing of opponents Or With the decisions of the referee. Last Friday afternoon at 4:30 o’clock Mr. O. F. Crowson, Editor of the “Burlington Daily Times,” spoke to the Economics Club, bringing to us some very interesting and worth while facts about the daily newspaper busi ness. Speaking from the financial standpoint, he told us the money was made through advertising, that the subscription only about paid for the ink used. As a whole the newspaper busi ness is not a get-rich-quick business, according to Mr. Crowson’s state ment. He spoke of the three types of papers published in North Carolina, as Daily, Weekly, and Tri-Weekly. “The Beids- ville Review” is the only tri-weekly in the State. Many editors of daily papers nse this slogan, “Best hours are reading hours,” printing their papers in the afternoon so as to be ready for- their •readers just after supper. This was Mr. Crowson’» second visit with us. We hope to have him with us again next year. He spoke as one who knows from many years’ experi ence in the newspaper business.
