Tonight the Elon debaters will face a strenous test when they meet Boone and High Point in a triangular debate. The Elon Affirmative will meet High Point at Koone.

For Elon Hook and Truitt will again face the Negative. WQston and Foushee will tackle the affirmative from the op posing side. This is Foushee’s first de bate of the year and the committee feels that he will argue with the same old fight and vim that he did last year. The affirmative will leave school early Friday morning with J. Howard Smith driving Chief Pontiac headed for the woods of Western Carolina in another hunting scrap. Truitt and Hook are very much enthused as a result of hearing Private Peat recently in an address on World Peace. Having won no contest thus far in the season they are determined to come out as victors in the final fray. Birthday Party Given In Honor of Miss Elizabeth Barney CHRISTIANS DEFEAT QUAKERS IN FAST GAME Christians Lead Little Six; Briggs, Eob- erts, Fogleman and Clark Star. On Tuesday afternoon. Elon College whipped Guilford 6 to 2 in a fast base ball game. This puts Elon in front, in the Little Six race with two victories and no defeats. The Stars for Elon were “Lefty” Briggs, who struck out nine men and kept Guilford’s light hits so scattered that they were able to score only two runs. Other stars were Charley Roberts with two safe bingles, Archie Fogleman and “Cap” Clark with a 3 bagger apiece. The game stood out because of its speed, it was over in one hour and a half. Elon took the lead in the first inning when Fogleman the first man up hit a long triple, and come home when Clark flied out to center field. Guilford forged ahead in the fourth. Cheech singled and was advanced to third when Stout singled. Cheech came home and Stout went to third when Zachary aingled, Stout scored third when Zachary singled, Stout scored and Zachary made second on C. Darus’ three men. Elon won the game in the sixth by a rally. PREACHERS ARE , ACTIVE OVER SUNDAY Service Held at Haw Eiver Church. Sunday night the Ministerial Associa tion conducted another service at the Haw Kiver Christian Church. The topic used was “Prohibition.” The President- Elect presided and Dickins, Page, and Marshall spoke from various phases of that theme.

In the morning the club conducted a program for the Junior Sunday School Class of the College. Those taking part OD this program were B. Paul Rakestraw, J. Ray Dickins, W. E. Brill, and J. How ard Smith. They discussed the Sunday School lesson. PSVKALEONS HOLD REGULAR MEETING The Psykaleon Literary Society held its Tegular meeting last Monday night in the Society Hall. After the business session was over, a debate was held. The query •was Resolved that there should be no sccial restrictions on Elon campus. Miss •“Johnnie” Sharpe was the first speaker upholding the affirmative side, who al most convinced you that girls should be allowed to do as they pleased. Then Miss Elizabeth Barney contradicted every thing Miss Sharpe had said, and when she had finished, you could hardly tell which was better. They were followed by Misses Adna Lane Brnton and Ruth Alexander who upheld their respective sides. After the judges made their de cision, it was found that there should be social restriction on the campus. Miss Barney was noted best speaker. PROF. J. A.

In tho center of the table there was a largo birthday cake, each half of which held number of candles representing the ages of the two girls, respectively. A course luncheon was served, and the guests received atti'active favors. The following were present: Evelyn Richardson.

CLIOS HOLD REGULAR PROGRAM STUDENT BODY HEARS NEW PROFESSOR FOR FIRST TIME Prof. J. B. Robertson Spoke Wednes day, April 2. Prof. Hunter of the French department conducted the chapel services of last Fri day morning. His theme was “A Suc cessful Teacher.” He gave the following characteristics essential to be a success ful* teacher, which were drawn from dif ferent opinions of high school students. neatness, good poise, impartiality, thought fulness, sense of humor, good preparation, good voice, and tact. He gave some very amusing incidents in which a teacher was included. Miss Suemoll Alcon of Stoneville, N. C., spent the week-end with Miss Edith Wright. On last ^^Vdnesday morning the stu dent body heard Prof. J. B. Robertson speak for the first time. Prof. Robertson is substituting for Prof. O. B. .Johnson, who is doing post graduate work at Pea body, Nashville, Tenn. He traced the evolution of the Sunday School since 1780. TIis talk was historical as well as inspir ing, and from it the following conclusion was drawn: Sunday Schools weren’t made in a day. His last thought was: A Great Growth If we can picture as a beginning the 00 littlg street urchins taken from the streets and back alleys and housed in some vacant building not planned nor constructed for school work with no equipment and scarcely any books or any other literature, and the pupils di vided among four ladies; and then con trast this picture with the hundreds and thousands of modern Churches and large and commodious Sunday School buildings as fine a^ science, and architecture and money can make; and then too picture a well organized, well-graded school with (Continued on Page 3) The Clio Society met in the Society Hall, April 7, 1930. The meeting was called to order and routine business finished. Then the following program was presented: “Some Ways of Improving the So ciety”—Sam B. Wilson. “Origin and Development of Elon” —E. L. Moffitt. “What 1 Consider to be the Most Beneficial Course at E1on”—Delos Eld er. * ‘What Should the Trustees of Elon College Do to Make Tliis a Better Eloii”—Jimmie Stewart. Mr. Wilson gave a lengthy but inter esting talk about the needed improvements of the society. He stated that there was some partiality shown among the mem bers. From his talk we believe Mr. Wil son had thought the question through carefully. !Mr. E. L. Moffitt's talk must have taken quite a bit of his time, for he gave a thorough account of the founding of the school. Tie told how the idea of putting a school here originated and who were the first donors and the first student to enroll. lie also discussed the stages of growth through the fire and up to the present time. Mr. .Tames Stewart stated the improve ments that the trustee should do to help make this a better Elon. Most of the members of tlie Society agreed most sin cerely with Mr. Stewart on these points. After the critic had given his report, the judges declared Mr. E. L. Moffitt Jr., to be best on the program for fhe evening and Mr. Sam B. Wilson worthy of hon orable mention. The future program was read and ap- l)i-oved at the end of the business meeting. The meeting was then adjourned. The Clio Literary Society met as usual in the Society Hall on March 4, 1930. After the usual procedure had been at tended to the following program was ren dered : “The Type of Girl I Like Best.”— Ma.xie Forrest. “Is Military Training Essential to the Training of the American Youth?”—Gus Womble. “If We Have Religious Freedom, Why Do We Have Compulsory Church At tendance at Elon?”—Paul Brawley. “Is It Possible to Shoot a Man to the Moon?”—Jack Chandler. “Is a College Education Worth the Time and Money a Poor Boy Puts into It?”—Elmer Copeland. From Mr. Forrest’s talk we judge him to be a regular “Ladies Man.” It seems he likes only two types—Blonde and Brunette. Mr. Womble showed that Germany pre vious to the World War had her men in the Imperial Army or Navy for two years. The statistics show that they were physi cally and mentally better prepared than the men of any other nation.
