It was a rather loosely played game. The Elon defense was not at its best, and the men from 'Walaon missed many •shots. The visitors jumped into a four point lead the first four minutes of play, but Parker soon found the basket and put •the Christians in th« lead, which they 'maintained througliout the game. The half ended with the score 20 to 11, the Elon boys having the advant- .age. The Christians kept Jones well guard ed, but Uzzle, lanky center of the foe, gathered in a total of 10 points to take scoring honors for his team. The line-up: Elon G. FG. TP. Parker, f 7 1 15 F.

MARIE MONTANA MARIE MONTANA OUTSTANDING VOCAL ARTIST COMING The Festivil Opera Company pre sented Rossini’s opera, “The Barber of Seville,” on Friday, January 31. The opera was sung in English, and the music and dialogue together constituted one of the most interesting productions which have been presented as a part of the Concert Course. The voices of the artists taking each role were truly great. The Festival Opera Company is composed of artists whose achievements are the talk of the musical world. The Opera was a comedy in two acts, both of which were characterized by exceptional talent for acting the roles and superb singing. The story of the opera is concerned with a young girl, Bosina, who has «ts her guardian, Dr. Bartola who himself is determined to mar^}' Rosina. This plot is overthrown by the Count Almaviva, aided by Figaro, the barber, and after some amusing episodes which cause uproari ous laughter, and some dramatic mo ments, the action comes to a happy ending. The production throughout was thor oughly enjoyed and tlie audience seem ed highly appreciative of the fine act ing. Marie Montana, an outstanding vocal artist, will appear on a program here on February 20, 1930. Miss Montana, wTio has been acclaimed as one of the finest artists of the day, has appeared as soloist with such important orchestra as the Chicago Symphony, Cleveland Symphony, and the American Orchestral Society of New York. In all of these performances her critics appraised her as having natural beauty of voice, charm of platform manner and merit of technical equipment. She has alto appeared in festival performances such as in the Washington, D. C. National 0|3era Festival, singing in “Hugh the Droves,” by Vaughn Williams, Ann Arbor, Michigan, singing in Pierre’s “St. Francis of Assissi.” After the Ann Arbor P^estival the critics were highly favorable in their reports. Marie Mon tana has an educated voice, flexible and of charming quality. Her songs are made still more attractive by her charming personality, sweet, pure voice and effortless vocal production. Miss Montana’s opera appearances have been as Gilda in “Rigoletto, ” Violetta in “L a Traviata,” and Micaela in “Carmen.” The IL Gioro, published in Naples, where she sang in Rigoletto, gave the following report: (Continued on Page 4) ANOTHER HOLIDAY APPROACHING FBESHMAN STAFF Editor-in-Chief E.

The students on the campus are greatly delighted at the prospect of another holiday. Clio Day, on Febru ary 22, is one of the annual holidays which is looked forward to. The Clio Literary Society is planning an effec tive program to be given on the eve ning of February 22nd. The program will be on the usual order and will no doubt be an enjoyable one, as usual. This holiday has been set aside as be longing to the Clios, and is considered their day. We are hoping to hear a good program, as the Clios have the material with which to work, and the right kind of spirit. PHILOLOGIAN LITERARY SOCIETY On the evening of January 22, 1930,, the Philologian Literary Society met and had an interesting discussion on the different topics assigned. Mr. Roy Coulter began tlie program by giving a very fine talk on “My Home State.” Mr. Coulter mentioned many things about his native state, Georgia, which many of us did not know. He stated that Atlanta was the newspaper center for practically all of Georgia and the northeastern part of Alabama. W. G. Lewis next brought out some excellent points on the subject, “Does Christian ity Pay?” G. O. Mann pointed out to us several good and several bad things regarding “Life on Elon Campus.” In the debate on the query, “Re solved, That prohibition is a better solution of our liquor problem than high license, L. W. Register and H. F. Smith ai)peared on the affirmative, and W. G. Smith and H. N. Truitt appeared on the negative. Each speaker gave an excellent speech. The decision commit- (Continued on Page 2) On February 4, 1930 Rabbi Stephen S. Wise visited Elon College.

The college choir sang Gounod’s “Sanctus” in which Mrs. Grace Hall Riheldaffer sang the soprano solo. Dr. Thomas F. Opie introduced the speaker. Dr. Wise, after a few humor ous introductory remarks, announced as his subject, “What Is Education?” Dr. Wise declared everybody is in terested in an education. Some say its purpose is to fit one for the difficulties of life. Others say it is to fit one for a fraternity or for a sorority. Educa tion should not merely do something for a man but TO a man and THROUGH a man. “Education should give us an open (Continued on Page 4) PI KAPPA TAU SORORITY HOLDS BANQUET FEB, 8TH Several Old Memlbers Return For The Annual Banquet.

W .Hook, at Friday’s chapel service, gave to the student body a report on a lecture which be had been privileged to hear at Duke University. The lecturer. Major Bowie, had as his subject, “Mapping the Con tinent and (Parting the Ocean.” Pro fessor Ilo'.i: gave a somewhat detailed account regarding the values arising from the possession of an accurate topographical map of our country. The students were impressed with the im mensity of the task of producing such a map when it was stated that if the w’ork is hastened, it may be completed in eighteen years. They were also im pressed by the statement as to the ac curacy of the work when Professor Hook said that the map will show a deviation of one-third of an inch per mile, or a deviation of one-third of an inch in a distance of over 60,000 inches. It was pointed out that such a map will assist in many ways. It will assist us in determining the effects produced on the level of the land by earthquakes and volcanoes. Planning of highway will be facilitated and costs and up keep reduced. Flood control can be wisely administered when the map has been prepared, as only two items must be considered in this problem—top ography and rainfall. Hydro-electric stations can be located more intelli gently through its use. Scientific agri culture will derive some benefit and aviation will be greatly benefitted. The Psykaleon Literary Society had a Valentine party Monday night, in stead of the regular programs. This was a pleasant sury)rise to all the mem bers excepting Misses Alma Kimball, Polly Walters, Ruth Doggett and Sally Elder, who played the roles of hostesses. In the society hall bridge tables were very attractively arranged; it was also decorated with potted plants. The place cards were dainty Valentine greetings, and the score pa5s in shapes of hearts. Progressive bridge was played during the liour. At the “finis,” Miss Ruth Alexander topped the list for high score. She was presented with a lovely bud vase, while Miss Mary Rudd re ceived the consolation prize, also a small vase. Several selections on the piano were rendered during the evening. Refreshments, the best part of any party, consisting of cream and cake, were served. MINISTERIAL STUDENTS CONDUCT SERVICES On Sunday morning Mr. S. B. Wil son preached at New Hill Christian Church, taking as his subject, “Suc cess. ’ ’ On Sunday afternoon Reverend Mr. Roy D. Coulter preached at Bethel Christian Church on the subject, “Building.” Those that went with Mr. Wilson and Mr. Coulter report that they were very effective in their ser mons. We hope that they will continue the good work, and we wish them much success in their labors.
