AN INNOVATION
The meager or combination of the Burlington Daily
Times and tlu Maroon and Gold is an innovation in col-
lege publication.s. In these days of recon.structions, aur'
veys, and a general study of the many problems claiming
the attention of every in.stitution, busines.«, and individual
new methods are being pressed into use in order to ren
der a greater service to all concerned. U is only fitting
that the ofTicial.s of the above named publicationti jshould
enter upon thi^ interesting project. It is a new departure
In the field of higher education in this section and ir,
fraught with great pys.sibilitie8 for this community. It
in indicative of a larger service that may be rendered
by the In.stitution.
The arrangement is destined to be of mutual advan
tage to both the student publication and the Times. When
the Maroon and Gold was published independently many
articles of interest to the general public, as well as to^tu-
dent« and alumni, were made available only to a limited
number of readers. The new medium should give added
impetus to th^ student staff to prepare a better copy for
publication. On the other hand, the Times will have the
added advantage of carrying more items of general in-
terlf to the community. One division of the Maroon
anaUold section will carry a weekly calendar of events,
giving s complete schedule of the various activities at
Alamance’s institution of higher education. Surely,
where there is union there is strength.

A SUGGESTION
••One of the greatest contributions the college can
make t«> individual happiness, social stability, and eugenic
progrcia, i.s to socialize their student bodies— even if it

Helfenstein Is Speaker
Sunday To Student Body
Pastor of Dover, Del.,
Church, Addresses
Christian Students
on “Values That
Never Change.
Di. HeUeniiteln. pastor ol the
Peoples’ Church of Dovtr, Dela..
was the speaker last Sunday morn*
ing. January 8th. "Values That
Never Change" was hi.i topic of
(lUcusslon. the text xlng taken
from Malachl 3:6 and Hebrew
13:8,
•We are In a constantly chang
ing age," said Dr. Helfenstein. The
seasons change, communities
chanje, people chang>. In fact,
everything changes. These chang
es give a variety to life and they
are necessary to all progress. The
changing of God's world la in keep
ing with God’s law, and the only
JustlAcation lor change Is a change
for the better.
“Life Itseif Is one value lliHt
does not change." stated Dr. Hel*
fensteln. •'Though the bottom
may fall out of the atock market
the bottom does not fall out uf
life. Values that never change arc
those that are nearest the heart
0( God People's Ideas and no*
tlons will change, but Christ is
the same as he has always been,
and this increases our responsibil
ity to go forward In his service."
Dr. HeUensteln continued, ‘th
things that really count never
change. There arc certain con
ventionalities of moral conduct the
need for which never changes
Wiiole families have been Imperil
ed because some member of them
broke some conventionality of
moral conduct Too many people
who did not adhere to these con-
TeDtlonalltUs hare been in plac-*s
of leadership.
■'Tlserc U a value In purity tn
life that never changes." said Dr.
Helfenstein. ‘A kind man or wo
man can get farther in life than
anyone else. Closely akin to kind
ness are courtesy snrt love, values
that never change. Faith In Ood
nei'er changes. There are too
many people who build their faltn
on something instead of on Him

Important dates that would be of
