Thompson Franklin Fogler Fred Dickerson HARDROCK SIMPSON Three cheers for Hardrock Simpson ! He is leaving- us today for New York City from which place he intends to begin the three thousand mile race to Los Angeles, California, on Easter Sunday. Just a little over a year ago many newspapers of the South were headlining their sport pages with the words, “Watch Hardrock Simp son Win/’ Hardrock entered the race at Los Angeles, California, last year and made the trip from coast to coast at an average speed of about fifty miles a day. He encountered terrific sand storms, and at times the furrowed ruts of the lava beds were hideous to view and pain ful to cross. But Hardrock plunged on, braving the cutting sand as it blistered his face, and suffering from sore and bleeding feet. In the end he was beaten but not defeated. Now the direction of the race is to be reversed, and the speed limit has been raised to an average of fifty-four miles a day. And Hardrock is entering the race to bring home the bacon. He is taking with him as one of his prized treasures an Elon athletic sweater. While his flying feet are making history in the Bunion Derby, his honest heart will be proudly beating beneath the arrowed “E” and be ringing true to “Dear Old Elon.” Here’s to Hardrock—the Lindbergh of the South and one of Elon’s loyal sons. THE GREATEST PERSON IN ELON The last issue of Maroon and Gold carried an article introducing one of America’s greatest citizens—Herbert Hoover. America has some great citizens, and so does Elon. They range all the way from our beloved president down to the student instructors in their vari ous departments, each rating in terms of greatness in Tiis own field of endeavor. We all have our idea of greatness. Some would say Prof. Van Cleave is the outstanding professor on the hill because he has won his way into the hearts of the students. Each of us would choose our favorite professor and set him or her up as our ideal of greatness. If greatness were measured by the ability to create beauty we should unhesitatingly say that surely Mother Ring is the greatest. Her mother interest and faithful endeavors have made Elon one of the most beautiful educational plants in the South. Enthusiastically and faithfully she guards the ornamental shrubbery and keeps it grow ing as beautifully as would a professional landscrape gardener. Nov since Mother Nature has lent her helping hand and has commenced to adorn the campus in a lustrous robe of green and yellow and w^hite, the campus is becoming a beautiful sight to behold. A few more weeks of South-west breezes and cheering sunshine, and Elon’s campus will be a thing of beauty and a joy to all who behold it. DECIDE NOW (By Co-Editor) Students, did you read the Maroon and Gold last week and have you found out just how much $15.00 will buy? The question now is, what are we go ing to do about it? Shall we just idlely look it over and with very little in terest discard the plan as very good for some places, but doubtful as to how it will work here? It is a good plan and it will work here. In fact it is about the only plan that will give ua our Phi^>sicU and Maroon and Gold next year. You sny it is a disgrace to a school not to be able to have these two pub lications. It is, but whose fault is it? The student bo'dy’s of course. In every school there are always those loyal few, who support the organ izations, pay their class dues promptly, etc. But what about the majority of the student body? They wait until the last minute, pay ing only after much persuasion from the treasurers of the different classes and organizations. j This hesistancy on the part of the | students causes those in charge the less of much time and more worry. Why do you do it? It is hard to say. If any one should call you a slacker, Ificking in school spirit you would prob- ably be very indignant and wonder what you had done to deserve such a name. But think for one minute. Do you really support your school organ izations? For the past few years the student bo’dy hasn’t stood behind them as it should. Every year debts i cumulate; and the only thing you hear is money for this and money for that. No wonder you get tired hearing that word, and just decide you won’t pay for anything. This new plan does away with all talk of money. Pay your $15.00 and you are through for the year. What do you say, students, shall wc endorse this plan? Let’s do it! Bathers who had been diving at Coblenz below the Rhine river, found dozens of bottles of champagne lying on the river bed. The news soon spread and altogether 300 bottles were brought to the surface by enthusiastic bathers. TNE KEMPUTKET George Colclough—“Sue is forever fussing at everything I do.” Jack Chandler—“What’s the matter with your girl is—er—you let her live double life.” * George—“What? A double Life? ?” Jack—“Sure, that’s simple: she is living her’s, and your’s TOO.” Barrett—“Old Lady, you are so green, T bet you have ne’er seen a Path finder.” Cox—“You are out of your head. I caught one during the big snow last winter. ’ ’ Professor Van Cleave was going down a one-way street. Police—“Hey! That is a one-way street. Didn’t you know it?” Van Cleave—“No, sir!” Police—“Can’t you read?” Van Cleave — “Officer, I’m from Elon.” Helen Turner—“I can have it charg ed—'my credit is good.” Virginia Lineberger—“It ought to be, it is all over Elon.” « « * * METAMORPHOSIS**CAGLE—' ‘ Pro fessor, do you think a frog can remem ber when he was a tadpole?” Prof. Powell—“Dewey Mast can tell you.” * * * * Coach Walker—“Where is all of— that L-i-n-i-m-e-n-t?” Zeigler—“Mann used it on his arm.” Coach—“He had be-ter have used it —on his he-ad. ” * * * « Little ‘Kip’ is out for football prac tice—after being tackled he got up blinking his eyes—‘ ‘ Who ever said that stars do not shine during day-time, just lied.” * * * * Twiman Andrews—An Elonite profes sor of ‘ Appologetics * « « * The Cabinet of: “Associated Aggre gation of Mutual Admirers” will meet at 7:30, Wednesday evening. * * » * Levi Wilkins crawling out of the mud, after being tackled—“Now I be lieve Copernicus’s theory—I see the whole Solar System revolving around Delos Elder—“I’m a prophet; I can see far in the future.” Miss Stout—“Do you see those two berries you owe me?” « * * * Frances Ring—“Did you ever have a thought you couldn’t express?” Virginia Britt—“Yes, many times when I’m trying to explain to Hinton.” Frances—“Why don’t you send it by freight?” ARE WE WORTHY? It is clearly apparent that some rules in the Red Book must be changed fox the satisfaction of the students. But are we as students, proving ourselves worthy of these privileges which we propose? Are we honest? Will we takf the proper advantage of these privileges? There are two forms of dishonesty among the students. They are (1) Mis placing of books and other articles and (2) the thing called cheating. Just the latter part of last week several books were missing only to be found in the book store. From this, are 'we even worthy of a change? Is this due to the laws in the Red Book? No! No rules in the Red Book or even in the Constitution of the United States can change our own individual honor or dishonor. We must change it ourselves. So, fellow students, become as one and let’s really prove ourselves worthy of some privileges. Let’s make the faculty and the student government and council realize that we are trust worthy enough to entitle us to the free dom of privileges necessary for a high er standard of living.
