UNOFFICIAL ROSTER OF CLASS OF ’29
Here is tlie List of Seniors Who Will Don Caps an4 Gowns in the Near Future
FINALE
This is the final issue in the supremacy contest in journalism
by classes. The Freshmen showed spirit and determination with a
light dash of egotism. The Sophomores displayed literary achieve
ment. The Juniors proved that they are fast stepping into the realn'
of the elite; while the Sedate Seniors are still striving to set the pace
for a bigger and better Elon.
There will be only six more issues under the present regime. It
has been the policy of this paper to build up real live-wire construc
tive criticism. An Open Forum column was presented to the student
body, yet sadly neglected. Character, Capacity, and Capital are
the three “C’s” in credit rating; Courage, Co-operation, and Courtesy
are the three “C’s” in journalism; without them any paper is a flop.

THE HUMAN THAT ACCEPTS
YET FAILS HIS DUTY
There are quitters of many and varied species the world over:
but the rankest kind are those who mix in with the mass or play up
to the limelight for the moment, endeavoring to garner laurel
Those barnstorming individuals who seek entrance into extra cur
ricular activities for selfish reasons are known on every campus.
The best and one sure way to find out their colors is just to ruff
their fur the wrong way. A few slight strokes and up in the air
they go a scooting—they quit, yet hang on just for that “key,” or
“charm,” or some other insignia or office which might bedeck the
already bedecked chest.
Class elections and student body elections are not far in the
ofifing. My worthy freshman contemporary boldly hit the nai' on
the head when he said, “It has come to the point that we must stop
and do something.” How true is that statement. In these future
elections it would be advisable to have a primary election, and then
have a general election day. We could set aside one day especially
for student elections. We could have printed ballots and the voting
done on the Australian Ballot system. Let those w’ho are primary
candidates for offices make their honest endeav'ors known to the
public in regular campaign style. Let each major office aspirant
have his or her platform worked out, speak in chapel and win votes
in a manner that smacks of knowledge in leadership and authority.
For remember—the man who wins is the one that can smile
when trivial things go wrong: who takes his daily tasks with a merry
snappy song-; who never says, “It can’t be done” or “I haven’t got
the time,” but goes along and does the job; he’s the man who’s
bound to climb.
BRAIN
HEART
A professor is often heard to remark, “What is the religious
value of thus and so?” We hear of ministers preaching on double
standards of morality. We hear a lecture or a cautioning word in
Chapel four days a week. And then as the days speed into oblivion,
it brings to our conscious minds how fertile has all this made our
brain, how big our heart.
The intellectual and spiritual food that is dispensed by our col
lege facultv has forced us to sum up our worth to humanity in
spiritual service and also our worth in dollars and cents. They
have forced us to think of our physical body and its care. The ap
plication of post study is just dawning, realizing that he who stops,
falls by the wayside and into the realm of the non-productive. Every
advantage of our intellectual training must be used to its fullest
extent.
It all totals up to expand that heart to a fuller appreciation of
mankind. The world needs love—we must do our share.
TRAINING A LA GROUNDHOG?
Captain-Elect Smith has issued a call for spring football. There
W'cre twenty-seven names handed to the gentleman. From this we
can see that there is much interest in evidence. He is desirous of
taking these aspiring pigskin chasers out on Comer field and drilling
some fundamentals of the game into their dormant domes. This
is the first time in the history of the school when a move of this
sort has been made. Everybody concerned should back this move
ment to the fullest extent of their ability. When Coach Walker

An Elon Co-ed has an eliminatioB

1. A track man won’t do; he’s too
fast.
2. The football man won’t do; he’d
tackle anything.
3. Any member of the band won’t
do; he enjoys blowing his own horn too-
much.
4. A biology student won’t do; he
cuts up too much.
5. Any member of the dramatic club
won’t do; he has to"o many lines.

SNOOPING ON SCOOPS
The Ring-Tum Phi (whatever that
means) is the official voice of Wash
ington & Lee University. The mechan

editorials disclose careful thought, and
the publication is read here with much
interest.

Student Government Constitution,
Art. 11: “Every duly registered stu
dent of Wake Forest College shall
automatically becoTne a memiber of the

bility and measures up to it. ■*

servative in its well written commenls.

The Defiance Collegian has a strong
editorial section and the make-up is
above the average. The news gatherer

bunch to work with.

The Xew Student reports from its
New York office that 400 questionnaires
have been mailed out to the Deans of
American Colleges by Dean Henry G.
Doyle of George Washington Univers
ity. The questionnaires wants informa
tion as to‘ whether the modern college
student of today is “Collegiate.”
Mr. Tar Heel, we rejoice in the fact
that you are going to put out a daily
paper. Your publicity bureau is one of
the strongest in the south; and with
its co-operation, your pro'blem of news
gathering will be practically nil.
Elon is looking forward to several
important musical events this spring.
On April the eighth there is to be a
recital by Katherine Wade Smith, the
most outstanding of the vounger women
violinists. During the first week of
May the Festival Concert will be given.
Prof. Velie has already started his re-
hearsals with the three ChoTal Clubs
which make up the large chorus. One
of the major works to be given will
be a setting to Longfellow’s “Village
Blacksmith,” by Gaines. This is a very
beautiful work and calls for both
soprano and baritone soloists. It
hoped that we can get Mr. De Loaehr
the Atwater Kent winner in last year^ff
contest, for the baritone soloist. Last
year’s concert w'as a great success but
we expect this year will be even great-
