Capo , WALLACE WADE AT DUKE Evidently Duke University is planning on having or rather developing a team which will be classed among the countries best team. This is shown in the fact that they have secured such a famous football mentor as Mr. Wade. The new Duke Coach has begun his duties, and shortly the world will hear more from him and the institution with which he is connected. His history in football has been one of triumphs. He received his coaching apprenticeship under Dan McGugin at Vanderbilt and from there went to Alabama in I9^3- There he has won many championships for his school. His teams have been fast, well trained and heady. They have shown determination in battling against odds, and their spectacular playing on the West Coast has been of the most inspiring sort. Wade deserves and should be commended for his promotion. He has a good personality and will, no doubt, prove successful in pro ducing teams of a high calibre at the rapidly expanding Duke Uni versity. Here’s hoping he will bring fame to the Carolina Institu tion and to the Old North State! Advertising Manager Assistant Advertising Manager W. (i.^ Lewis Circulation Manager W. E.

Copeland Patricia Holden J* Dickens Marguerite Harris Fred Miller GREATER ELON On January i8tli, 1923 the .students were awakened in the early inurning hour.s with the alarm of “fire." I can picture them in my mind as tliey e.\citinf,dy rushed over to the old .Administration build- inj; there to witness a sad sight. It seemed that nothing could be done because of inadequate “fire fighting” apparatus; nevertheless, the students rendered as much service as they could in the way of trying to extinguish the flames by the use of water. Hope for sav ing the building soon faded, and the students and faculty had to stand aside and watch the red flame bring to destruction the old building which had stood for years as the “backbone” of Elon Col lege. A gloom -^as cast over the hearts of those wdio loved the in stitution and wdio cherished its ideals. In only a few minutes nothing remained except a mass of debris and heavy laden hearts whose interest was wrapped around this Christian School which was giving to the world Christian men and women. How melancholy our beloved President must have felt when he had to stand by and watch all that he had lived for, the thing on which he had centered his thoughts and interest, his Alma Mater, fade into ashes. Hut his heart was made happy again when l;e was invited to the student mas.s meeting. As he entered the room, the students stood and sang as never before that song which is dear to the heart of every Elon man and woman, “Here’s To Dear Old Elon, Faithful and bold. Here's to her banner • Of Maroon and (iold, etc.” I'A’ery' sturlent and professor in attendance was thrilled by the spirit of the song and the occasion. My, what that must have meant to I’resident Harper, as amid that heart-stirring song, he walked up the ^Lislc to the front of the room. Renewed energy and determina tion-were in evidence immediately. ^ From that pile of ashes has risen the beautiful ])lant which we now' hrtve and enjoy. There'is no small college in the state which has a better equiiiptd or more efficient plant than has Elon College. It stilpds as an evidence of the'loyalty and love of Dr. Harper, of nien,ibcrs of the Christian Church, of Alumni, and of friends who .have, so generously made siich a college possible. X,s students we have every right to be proud of our school, and should prove our appreciation to those ,who. hax'e given us .such a place in which to be educated, by upholding the standards and ideals cherifihed by :ill who love Elon. Our actions on the campus and, elsewinere. should he of such a character as to be a credit to our school. Let the w.ords we say and the things we do be for the uplifting of- “dear ole F:ion.” For in so doing, vve shall be helping to build that of which we shall be even.more proud in the corning .... With ,;uch a spirit of love and loyalty planted within the hearts and minds of the students, alumni, and friends of this great institu tion', will our Alma Mater be known throughout America as the school of Christian learning. HAVE COURAGE Now that the much-dreaded examinations have passed, although the grades are looming near by, let us pick up new courage and look into the new year with joy and new and higher ambitions. Since the new year has brought promising outlooks in the business world, we must purchase for ourselves the increased supply of knowledge, which has a significant place among the other things of life. No doubt some of us have failed in some courses because of carelessness and un])reparedness; but that should not be a hindrance to our progress during the next semester. It should be an incentive to drive us on to more and deeper concentration along the lines of thought, which in turn, are the most vital factors of the modern world. We are the men and women of tomorrow, and unless -we have courage and ambition enough to prepare ourselves for the greater and more difficult work which confronts us, the generation which we rei>resent will be at a low level. Business ofScials bade farewell to 1930 with a feeling of relief akin to that a motorist feels when he has been laboring over a long muddy detour and finds himself back on the paved highw'ay. Let us welcome in the new year with the feeling that -we shall stay on the pavement and drive our mental powers down the highway, with determination and high ambitions for the future. So Elonites, have courage; for in the future W'e shall be amply repaid for our unfailing efforts. —CO-ED EDITOR. FOR THOSE CONTEMPLATING MARRIAGE Seventy-seven year old Justice Samuel Harrison, of Evanston, Illinois, who has united in marriage more than 900 couples, has given to the world a bit of homely philosophy. He says that “a bad marriage is better tlian none.” Here are some of the words of counsel -\vhich he gives to married folk, based on his observation of marital blessings and troubles, mostly troubles: “Marry early, but not too often. “Tell your wife every day, T love you’. “Don’t open each other’s letters. \oii may not like the content."^. “If you must be frank wdtli each other, let it be in private. “If sometimes it seems hard to be married to him, remember that he has to be married to you. “Forgive your partner seventy times seventy, and then throw away the account book. “And a last word to those still thinking about the plunge: The foundation of marriage,” said Justice Harrison, "should be respect for each other’s intelligence, instead of admiration of each others Possibly those who have recently been married, and those who expect to be married when June creeps around, will take due notice thereof and govern tlieniseives accordingly. GETTING OUT A PAPER out a paper is no picnic. If we print jokes, folks say we are silly. 1C we don't they say we are too serious. If we |)nblislv ori^^iual matter, they say wf huU va!-iety. If w«* publish things from other |)apers, we are too hizy to write. If we stay on the job we ought to be out rustling news. If we ar* rustling news, we are not at- tejuHug to business in our own depart ments. If we don't print eontributions. we don’t show proper appreciation. If we print them tiie j>aper is lilled with junk. Like as not sonje fi'llow will say we swiix'd this from an exchange. So we did.— ( K. (J. I'. Log P>ook.) .

NN'hen a ship is rolling down to lier scupi^ers in a heavy gale her passengers grow nervous and begin to regret their past sins, but when the same ship is grop ing her way slowly through a thick foj the passengers go to bed and sleep sound ly. Yet, paradoxically enough, the great est peril at sea is the fog. It has been the cause of more disasters than all the storms that ever blew.—From ‘‘Sea-Lore,” by Stanley Kogers. JOKES SERMONOGRAMS A boy knocked at the parsonage door and was all excited when the minister came to the door. “My boy, what is the matter , what can I do for you?” Oh, I’ve swallow^ed a quarter! I swal* lowed a quarter!” But, ray good lad, you should go to a Doctor, not me.

Until I met you 1 didn’t know what real hap piness meant.” A month sped by, and he said: “Gosb, if anything should separate us, if anyone should try and take you from me, if I lost you, I think I would die. That’s how I feel about you.” Six months later be said : “Sweetheart, I m going to be frank with you. I’ve had little love affairs in the past, naturally. Hut you musn’t listen to people when they say I can’t stick to a girl. In those days I hadn’t met you. That makes all the difference. You’re the only girl I have really loved.” All the same, when he did eventually take unto himself a wife, she was not one of tiiose four girls. ♦ * ♦ • First ('o-ed—“I see where a scientist claims each kiss shortens a girl’s life ten seconds.’’ Second (Ved—“Heavens above!

It is nearly years since this historic fight took ])laco. and until the “stone of nieinory" was erected, visitors might eas ily have trampel over the ground without realizing the fact. The moving spirit in the erection of the nunnorial was an old lady of seventy- three—Miss K. Winter of Chedzoy. Some years ago she had a vivid dream, in w'hich she was urged by a ghostly visitant to raise a memorial to the men who died at S(‘dgemoor. A strange contrast may be noted by those who visit the battlefield today. There is an U. -A. F. camp near at hand, and modern fighting planes often circle above the moor where Monmouth’s followers fouglit with scythes and billhooks.—Lon don Answers.

Believe in yourself and you’ll surely win. no matter how far your goal. There’s a marvelous force in the faith that springs from this great anl noble thought; by the magic sp(^ll of the strength it brings, the greatest of deeds are wrought. P.elieve in your soul that you will suc ceed. For as sure as you hold this thought you will back your faith with the power of deed, till the last hard fight is fought! Aye. hold to that thought and you’ll do your part in the way it should be done. Just start with a winner's con fident heart, and your battle is really won ! So go to it, hoy, and hit your stride, at the crack of the starting gun, and nev er falter or turn aside ’til the whole long course is run.
