Lanson Granges Cnarlle Hoxle Slmpaon Barbara Chase TYPISTS , , . . Ester Cole Doris Milks _ AN INNOVATION The meacer or combination oC the Burlington Daily Times and the Mavoon and Gold is an innovation m col let publications. In these days of recons ructions, sur veys, and a general study of the many problems c aimmg the attention of every institution, business, and individual new methoda are being pressed into use in order to ren der a greater service to all concerned. It is only fitting that the officiala of the above named pubhcationH should enter upon thi^ interesting project. It is a new departure in the field of higher education in this section and is fraught with great possibilities for this community. It is indicative of a larger service that may be rendered by the institution. 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 stu dents and alumni, were made available only to a limited number of readers. The new medium should give added impetus to th>- student stafT 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- t^rifc to the community. One division of the Maroon >uun.'.old section will carry a weekly calendar of events, g-iving a complete schedule of the various activities at Alamanrr's institution of higher education. Surely, v.'h^re there is union there is strength. A. L. HOOK. A SUGGESTION ••ur.r; of the greatest contributions the college can make to individual happiness, social stability, and eugenic progress, to .socialize their student bodies— even if it m€•^r.s a, renunaHition of the medieval monastic ideals to v-hich still unconsciously, but de.^perately, flii'-T ’■ rhCttnnouncen\ent of Dr. Paul Popehoe. ' .'I InstitC:^#^f Family Relation:: at Lokf Ad- 7i\ q ' •I'•. •, H thought! I think, that sUould be given (leV'^-■»^^sideration by our trustees and faculty members. From over the campus I have heard the question ask ed, “V/hy are v.'c not allowed to have dances at Elon?" And as ^et I have not heard a civil answer given; no one seerns to know the reason except that “It’s not being done at Elon.” Is dancing a sin? If so, why does practically evcvy large college in the country allow it; why do soc-'^.l clubs. fraternitieR, and organizations annually sponsor this form of recreation; why do summer resorts, holds, and even private homes cater to this diversion? No! Dancing: is not a sin and I think that supervised dancing would be a great asset to Elon college. With the Dean eupervising dancing at the proper time and under the proper conditions, it would be beneficial to the stu dents. Often "socializing” as it is carried on affords enter tainment for those who “sit on sofas and hold hand^?.” discussing boring topics to dried up and worn out lengths. 1 Dancing would, if carried on in the realm of social edu- (^-^*fTords an opportunity to the wall-flowers to min- ^ . at the same time prepare themselves for future lyy learning the technique of dancing, fen students enter the social realm of the outsirle jthey will find dancing one of the outstrnding meitii:: o^entertainment. Therefore, colleges should be the place to prepare them to meet social affairs of the world in the right manner—teaching them how to prop- erly face the age in which we are now living. This, faculty members and trustees, is our opinion, and we feel justified in presenting the matter to you. If we axe going to continue to live in the past, and not the present—then I would say: “No Dancing at Elon." But if we can look ahead with open eyes into the future and see the advantage dancing will be to our college and stu* dents, I feel certain that some coniideration will be «rivpn Peoples’ Church o! Dover, Deia., was the ipeaker last Sunday moru las, January 8th. "Values Tlint Never Change” was his topic of discussion, the text Klng taken from Malachi 3:6 and Hebrsw 13:8. "We are In R constantly chang ing age," said Dr. Helfenstcln. The seasons change, communities chinge, people change. In fact, everything changes. These chans* 63 give a variety to life and they are necessary to all progress. The changmg of God's world is In keep ing with Cod’s law, and the only justification for change Is a chan^c for the belter. "Life itseif Is one value thst does not change." stated Dr. Hel- fenateln. "Though the bottom may fall out of the stock market the bottom does not fall out of life. Values that never change are those that are nearest the heart Of Ccd. People's ldea« and no tions will change, but Chrlat is the same as he has always been, and this Increases our responslbU- ity to go forward In his service.” Dr. Helfenstein continued, "the things that really count never change. There arc certain con ventionalities of moral conduct the need for which never chang?* Wiiole families have been imperil ed bscause some member of th?m broke some conventionality moia) conduct. Too many peopl? who did not adhere to those con- ventlonslltles have been In p)a'.*s of ieader*hip. "There is a value lu purity in life that never changcs.'’ said Dr. Helfenstfln. "A kind man or wo man can gel farther In life than anyone eke. Closely akin to kind ness are courtesy ?!■- lovt. veVari that never change. Faith In Ood never changes. There are m^ny people who build their faith on something Instead of on Him It Is the faith In Ood that makes one':. Ilf? count for others.
