All knew it was importnnt, but none knew why. Of course the curiosity grew until there was an unusually large number at Chapel. The students began to think they were going to be disappointed because Dean Uook made the usual announcements; l)ut he soon added another one that arous ed the interest of all. Tie began this im- ])ortant announcement by giving a short account of what was done last year in re gard to the Student Elections. lie fin/illy ended his little speech by reminding us that election time would soon be here and that it might be well for us to begin pre- l>a rations. The result of this announcement and the renlly important accomplishmeent of Tuesday’s Chapel was the election of a ('onijuittee on Elections or. we might say, 'riie Electoral College of Elon. Popular and competent individuals were chosen to fill these important places, and certainly no student will be dissatisfied with their actions. All but one of this all-important committee of five are seniors, and the one .iunior of the group in now president of liis class and has be(>n on the Student Senate for three years. The seniors se lected on the Electoral Committee are; (Continued on Page 4) Sunday evening March 2, 1930. the (’hristian Endeavor si>onsored a very in teresting pageant entitled “Robert and Mary.” given in Whitley auditorium. This was a religious i)agi‘ant. The leading parts were i>layed by Fred Smith and Mary Rawles Jones. Fred Smith played the part of Robert Moffat and Mary Rawls Jone.s, Mary Smith. Mary Smith, a beautiful young girl, loved by her parents, had a desire to go on the mission field. At the same time Mary was engaged to Robert. Her parents, who were old. would not consent to her going on the mission field. Robert at this time was on the field in Africa and finally gave up hopes of ever seeing Mary and fell in love with Katrina, who lived on the border of the country in which he was working. Later Robert went to India, and while at this jjlace he received a letter fi-om Mary, his former sweetheart, stating that she was coming to Africa. She came and they were married and both went to Africa as missionaries together. Cast: Robert Moffat—Fred Smith. James Smith—Delos Elder. Mrs. Smith—Mary Rudd. Jane—Mabel Coghill.

ELON AND WARE FOREST NEGATIVE TEAMS WIN DEBATES Elon's initiatory debating combat in the form of a dual debate with Wake Forest was somewhat of a verbal struggle. All evidence showed that the query : Re solved. That the Nations Should Adopt Plan of Complete Disarmament Ex cepting Such Forces as are Needed For Police I’urposes, had been well analyzed by all the debaters. Truitt and Hook remained at Elon and upheld the afiirmative side of the query against H. L. Bridges and A. 1). Carroll of Wake Forest. The combat was a hard on^‘. and when the ai-gument was finished all were held in great suspense while the judges. Dr. Opie, Mr. Yount, and Mr. Cooper prepai*ed their ballots. Finally thei*e came a period of joy for some and sadness for others as the decision was announced; two for Wake Forest and one for Elon. L. C. Williams and Lem Weston were at Wake Forest at this time upholding the negative side of the same query against Church and Smith. They also had a very hard strnggh^ with their opponents but they seemed to have hit upon some points that were not expected by their oppon ents, and with this and the fact that they renlly put across a hot argument, they drew a decision of two in favor of Elon and one in favor of Wake Forest. Students, our debaters are really put ting out some hard work, and are sacri ficing a great amount of their valuable time f(.r us. and in return for this let’s show them that we are 100 per cent back of them by attending the debates and cheering them on. J. C. Gresham is Toastmaster. The Iota Tau Kappa fraternity at Elon college gave a radio dinner on Saturday, March 8, in the spacious Y. M. C. A. ban quet hall of the college. It was the eighth annual banquet of the I. T. K.’a and vvas a gala affair from start to finish, 'riiis unicjue dinner, resplendent in its en tirely. was one of the highlights of Elon social life for the year 1929-30. The fas cinating sublimeness and uniqueness of the decorations struck the happy jovial throng of merry-makers with awe. The fraternity color scheme of red and black was carried out, the stage being panueled off with red and black streamers, the windows and doors arched with red and black, with streamers of the same colors dangling from them. In the center of each white-topped table seating four, were red and black candles. Favors at the place of each lady present were beautiful desks clocks of blue, at the top of which “I. T. K.” was encrusted in gold letters. The revelers, including active alumni and honorary members of the I. T. K. banded together in the reception hall of the west dormitory and marched “two by two” in all the gay splendor that was j)ossible, to the Y. M. C. A. banquet hall. The sight was a beautiful one to look up on, with evening gowns of various shades and types, being worn by the charming misses. At 0 o’clock, as the guests entered the banquet hall. Iota Tau Kappa radio pro gram coming from the station W. N. R. C., Greensboro, opened up with “Hail, Hail. The Gang’s All Here.” J. C. Gres- (Continued on Page 4) THE CLASS OF ’31 Dr. G. S.
