KAPPA TAU WINS COVETED LOVING COP (By H. S. Shepherd) Hey! there, ye fans of all sportdom: why don^t you wake up? What’a wrong with you, anyway? Here you’ve been browsing around all this time and 4ion't even know what it’s all about yet? Come on now and get your heads together. Watch out—watch out for the Seniors! Know what they’ve done? You don’t, hey? Why, they’ve gone and turned the world upside down. You knew that, though, I suppose; for you felt the jar,—that awful terrorizing flhock when this great whirling mass changed its orbit so abruptly. And flow we’ll take an unbiased peep at the situation just as we find it. The Seni ors—hurrah! boys. Why, they’re on top of the blooming thing, sailing along through space perfectly contented and seemingly no worse off for the terrible struggle which has ensued. And you ITreshmen, you Sophomores, you Juniors: who told you that you could play BASKETBALL, anyway V I’d try and find out, if I were you, and murder him sure. Don’t let him get .away with it; that’s one of the most diabolical conspiracies of modern times You had no chance at all of winning- not from the Seniors. Of course, there’s flo great harm done, as yet, I suppose except that you fellows are lounging and ploundering around underneath this old ball while the Seniors occupy a very dignified position above you.

It has been the custom of the Social Committee to present a Loving Cup to the Sorority or Fraternity having the highest average for one semester. Dean Ho'ok presented the cup at the chapel service on Monday with the thought that just because it was called loving cup, it was not a signal for loving when one saw it in a particular social room. Pi Kappa Tau, a sorority having an average of 85.48, received the cup. Miss Ettie Harvey accepted the cup. This was the first sorority to receive the cup. The averages are: Pi Kapa Tau 85.48 Kappa Psi Nu 83.23 Tau Zeta PM 83.00 Beta Omicron Beta 82.95 Alpha Pi Delta 82.83 Delta Upsilon Kappa 81.61 Iota Tau Kappa 78.10 A very interesting meeting of the Economics Club was held last Friday Afternoon at 4:30 o’clock. Eoyal Watson, the first speaker, took as his topic, Business Opportuni ■ties in the South.” Watson showed lie had spent considerable time in pre ■paration and brought out several good ■points concerning the many opportuni ties offered by the South, to manufac turers especially. Stroud Brooks next spoke on the topic, ‘‘George Washington, as a Busi ness Man.” Brooks was well prepared on his subject and proved to the Club that George Washington was an un ■usually good business man as well as a natural born leader. The next speaker was J. W. Van Hook, whose topic was, “Our Tax System Needs Revising.” Van Hook explained that in such a rapid spending nation as the United States we would be forced to revise our tax system (Continued on Page 4) board of trustees of ELON SLATED TO CONVENE FEB. 19 The Board of Trustees of Elon Col lege will hold their regular mid-winter Bieeting on February 19.

Miss Gould Wants to Know—“Are You Shut in by Campus Walls, or Can You See Men, Women, and Children at Work and Play on the Other Side of the World?” February 22 is Clio day. It is a day when everything is turned over to the Clio Literary Society, and the society members hope every one has a wonder ful time on that day. Social privileges, banquet, and entertainment are some O’! the features of the day. The society is working on a program that it hopes will be the best ever given since literary programs have come in vogue. It is to be of a light, serious, amusing—well, in fact every thing in variety—boredom eliminated. It is a celebration of the birth of the Father of our Country also. George Washington’s virtues as well as his misdeeds will be proclaimed from the platform. The Clios hope every old Clio will come back for Clio Day. In fact, they hope every Elonite will be here for that day of days in Clio his tory. You are welcome; you are wanted. TAD KAPPA FRATERNITY STAGES ONIIJUE RADIO RANPET Special Arrangements Were Made With Raleigh Broadcasting Station W. P. T. F. DACE W. JONHS OFFICIATED AS TOASTMASTER. Dean A. L. Hook’s Address, “Pinch Hitting” Was “The Spice of the Program.' ’ ‘ ‘ How big is the world you are living iu?’' Are you shut in by the campus walls, or can you see men, women, and children at work and play on the other side of the world? Such was the note sounded by Miss Olive Gould in her chapel talk on last Friday morning. Miss Gould has had five years experi ence as a missionary in India. She presented the viewpoint of the Indian and of the Oriental. With them she says that American customs, American inventions, and American wealth do not make American superior to the West, Americans are just brothers to those who live in the East. The interest of the Orient in America is matched by American interest in the Orient.

It is the desire of this Senior staff which is putting out the Senior issue, to sponsor a contest o'f this type. Every student should give his or her whole hearted co-operation in voting on these superl^itives, to make it really effective. There are a long list of superlatives; but only six have been chosen. This feature contest will be a big (Continued on Page 4) ^AINT VALENTINE OUR HEART GOES OUT SAIJNI made SOME HAPPY Unanimous Support Was Given To Annual For Class Dues. From the animated support given in the recent vote on student class dues for annual, it seems as if the art of begging is “going on the hog.” Every year the student is confronted, by the heads of the different organiza- tions on the campus, f-or contributions. It would be a very progressive stro-ke on the part of the student body to have the heads of the various extra curricular departments meet and draw up a budget covering all phases of extra-curricular student expenditures for the coming school year. It would bo ideal to come to* school end not have so many requests and supplications for donations confronting one throughout the year. It would make it possible for these different de partments ice function more effectively. It would make each student more ap preciative; for when a person spends bis hard earned money he wants to get value received. On February fourteenth 270 A. D., the maker of happy hearts, St. Valentine, was beheaded Claudius, The Cruel, then consul of Italy, was in the throes of bloo'dy combats and required manv warriors for his battles. This necessitated the parting of loved ones, and to ease the sorrow, St. Valentine secretly married these Eoman Gladiators to' their sweethearts against the orders of Claudius, who caused him to be beheaded. Claudius must have figured that it was a double sorrow; hence the rashness of his act. To commemorate the memory of this saintly priest, the Cluistian world set aside February fourteenth, and called it the “Feast of the Lupercal,” which later became known as Valentine’s day. In the early era, this dav was celebrated by placing all the names of the village maidens in a box, and having every gallant draw one of the maiden’s names. He ther became her benefactor for the ensuing year. This custom of celebration evolved through many changes, and up to our present time, we have onr parties of “piecing hearts” and mailing friendly and endearing valentines. *«**■» 5 A TNT VALENTINE’S DAY WILL BE SAINT VAI.!!.!
