March 21, 1929. MAROON AND GOLD Page Thre* Sports Elon’s baseball hopes for the year 1929 had a considerable set-back last Monday evening at Comer Field, when Zeb Harrington, the erstwhile short stop of the “Fighting Christians/’ broke a small bone in his left leg just above the ankle. Zeb was circling the bases after taking his regular turn in batting practice and attempted to slide into third base. Unluckily his spike caught in the hard ground on the in field, and the result was that some one must attempt to fill the scrappy little shortstops shoes for the rest of tho season in all probability. Zeb was also lead-off man in the line-up, which makes it still harder for Coach Walker to find a man who is capable of hand ling the job at the short-field position. Harrington is a hard-working lad, and has been working faithfully all season to get into shape, so that he would be rarin’ to go when the umpire yells “Play Ball” in the opening game here against Springfield, Massachusetts team, March 29. It was surely an un lucky turn of the wheel which puts Zeb on the injured list, and sadness in to the hearts of Elon baseball fans. We are all hoping for your very speedy recovei"y, Zeb, old boy, and hope that you may be able to get in there and fight a little for Elon before the curtain comcs down at the close of the book was about God, indeed it is. The force creating and sustaining all around us is called by the psychologist, mind; by the scientist, power; by the philosox)hcr, reason; and by the Chris tian, God. The talk was enlightening and much enjoyed. We hoped to hear from Dr. Newman again soon. THE STUDENT PRESIDENT BASEBALL SCHEDULE The Elon College baseball schedule, which has been completed and was an nounced Tuesday, March 19, by the Graduate Manager, shows tho Chris tians opening on the 29th of this month with the strong. Springfield Y. M. C. A. College of Massachusetts on the Chris tian’s diamond. Eighteen college games with North Carolina, Virginia, and South Carolina teams are scheduled be sides the Springfield game, and two with professional clubs as exhibition games, one with the Winston-Salem twins and the other with the Hender son club, the baby member of the Pied mont League. The Easter Monday game, April 1st, is again arranged for the Memorial stadium at Greensboro with High Point College. Two trips are taken, one into Virginia and the other into' South Car olina. The Virginia trip includes Emory and Henry, V. P. I., and Bridge water, and the South Carolina teams met are Wofford and Erskine, with games with Davidson and Lenoir-Rhyne on the way down. Three games are carded with the big five members, two with Wake Forest, and one with Davidson. Eight games are carded for the Christian’s home field, and the schedule will close on May 11th with Guilford at the Quaker institution. The schedule in detail follows: March 29—Springfield College at Elon, March 30—Catawba at Salisbury. April 1—High Point at Greensboro. April 4—Bridgewater at Bridgewater, Va. April 5—V. P.

May 11—Guilford at Guilford. One of the greatest honors that tlie student body of Elon can bestow upon its members will be conferred within tlie next few weeks. The election of the president, (or perhaps, we should say presidents, since Elon is co-educa- tional and requiring a leader to repre sent each sex) of the student body should be co'nducted with the greatest caution and prudence possible. The election of these officers should be seri ously considered and carefully acted upon. How can this be done? How can it be made possible for the students to have an opportunity tc investigate the presidential possibilities in the student body? Again we answer with the slogan, “Open Politics.” It is regrettable that college honors in Elon or in any other institution should be determined by politics. How pleasant it would be if there were no’thing said relative to the nominees for the various offices until the hour of the election. How agreeable it would be if the students would assemble and elect their officers on merit alone. But since that ia a utopian dream, the only solution that exists is “Open Politics.” Before a person should be elected president of the student body he should meet the following qualifications: First, he should be a fair representative of the cross-section of the mass of students. If he were not he would be deceptive in his position. Seco-ndly, he should at all times be unafraid to exercise the rightful author ity vested in him. He should be of such a character as not to betray the confidence placed in him. He should possess diplomacy enough to gain and hold the co-operation of the students. Thirdly, he should be capable of representing Elon College on any occa- , sion that might reasonably arise during his terra of office. He should be a good speaker and a clear thinker. Fourthly, the president cf the student body should have shown by his extra curricular activities that he has had the interest of the school, generally, at heart and thereby merits the position. Any student that does not possess these qualifications should not be elect ed president of the student body. YOUNG WOMEN ENTERTAINED AT TEA Occasion Proves To Be a Pleasant One. DE. NEWMAN COM PLETES CHAPEL TALK (Continued from Page 1) something further along this subject at another time. On Tuesday morning of this week, he continued this talk. In speaking of the first book of Genesis, he told us that the name of God was used thirty- two times and if any one, nat of the Christian race, should read this book, he would be inclined to think that the On Friday, March 15, the young lady members of the Elon College student body, as well as a number of invited guests from the village, were entertain ed at tea from four to six o’clock in the Y. W. C, A. hall at the college by the Faculty Nevele Club. This formal tea is one of the main so'cial events of the Nevele Club, and is held annually for the college girls, Mrs. W. A. Harper, Dean Louise Sav age, and Mrs. Alice Corboy constituted the reception committee and welcomed the 150 students and guests who ac cepted the hospitality of the club and attended the tea. All the members of the club were hostesses for the occasion, but Misses Sue Raine, Lila Newman, Mary Ann Benn, Vera Van Cleave, and Mrs, D. C. Walker, served as a commit tee in charge of getting up the party. The Y. W. C. A. Hall was decorated in keeping with St. Patrick’s Day; shamrocks and green candles abound ing. The color scheme of green was used throughout the decorations. Mrs. 0. W. Johnson poured coffee, Mrs. W. S. Alexander served tea, and Mrs. Frances Ring and Mrs. W S. Alex ander officiated at the punch table. Chicken salad sandwiches, ribbon sand wiches, and tea biscuits were served with the coffee and tea, and Scotch short-bread and nut cakes were served with the punch. Music was furnished throughout the tea by students of the music depart ment, Mr. Paul Magee at the piano, Mr. E. F. Rhodes, violinist, and Misses Dorothy Bradley, Elizabeth Harden, Jewell Presnell, Idell Jones, and Lucy Boone rendering vocal solos. VICK’S CHElVnCAL COMPANY AT GREENSBORO, N. C. (Continued from Page 1) ing of Vicks come from all parts of the world. The petrolatum, especially pre pared which forms a base for the in gredients, conies from the state of Pennsylvania. It is shipped in wo'oden barrels as a general rule; although some comcs in iron and fibre barrels. These barrels are returned and used over as many time as they will continue to give good service. Taking into con sideration the transportation, break age, and reuse, the wooden barrels have proved most favorable in the opinion of the advisers of the Vicks Chemical Company. Camphor crystals come fro'm Formosa and Japan. It is shipped in wooden boxes that are lined with zinc that makes the box air-tight. It has a peculiar and agreeable odor and also is a powerful stimulant. Oil of Cedar leaf which is used for its aromatic effects chiefly, comes from the northern states. CLIO LITERARY SOCIETY ELECTS NEW OFFICERS (Continued from Page 1) ficers will endeavor to perform their respective duties to the best of their ability. All those who have been select ed to occupy these different positions have always demonostrated their ability as far as society, work is concerned; so we believe that we truly prognosti cate a very successful term for the so ciety. After the new officers were installed, the following program was rendered: Debate: Resolved, That the Work of the Clio Literary Society Is Fail- ing. Affirmative—Mr. Walton Parker, Mr. Jack Mosley, Mr, Walter Brill. Negative—Mr. P. Raestraw, Mr. Ben ton, Mr. E, Gunn. The debate was won by the negative according to a unanimous report of the judges. Each one of the speakers did very well. They surely ought to be commended for their excellent prepara tion for this occasion. Mr. Benton was declared the best speaker for the nega tive, and Mr. Brill for the affirmative. The program, as a whole, was excel lent, and every one present enjoyed it thoroughly. Continue doing your work faithfully good “old” Clios, and you will see that in later years, it has meant much to you. THE LADIES’ SHOPPING CENTER. BURLINGTON, N.

The fact is that he feels confident of being the leader of the pack in the finad wind-up at Los Angeles. But “Hardrock” is not the only one who thinks he can win. Right here in his ho'me town of Burlington are literally hundreds who believe as Simp son does. They believe to the extent that will mean something to “Hard- rock” too; in other words, they have arranged to support him to the limit; and when that limit no longer holds, to establish a new limit to‘ shoot at. WeVe for “Hardrock’^ to win this race. He has shown more determin*i- tion and “stickability” than we knew existed. What do you say, fellow stu dents, that we give him a hand in this great sprint he is attempting? We’re ready; let’s go.
