PEACE
Having learned a bitter lesson from our participation in the World
War, the people of the United States quite naturally shrink from
any policies or attit’ijes which would seem to point toward our en
trance into another war. This desire to remain at peace which the
majority of us have is a very laudable one. Today, however, in a
world where nations have been brought so close to each other by
modern Improvements in travel and communication facilities, we
can no longer say that we will remain at peace by isolating our
selves from the problems of other countries. If such an isolation
were ever possible, it is certainly not possible now. The problems
of the world are the problems of our own country — the problems
of each citizen of our country. We entered the World War with
high hopes and high ideals and came out of it with many ideals
destroyed and illUBions gone. Now, in the midst of world cris's,
comes the true test of our courage and sincerity of purpose. It is
our duty to follow un tbc efforts we made in 1917 txy coni-tructiv.T
J'League of Nations. If we remain disill. i.med
-nil sullen, we shall have failed.
And now, to each and every studej>t of Elon College, to each
faculty member, the Maroon and Gold says, “Greetings!”
A student according to Webster, is a person devoted to learning.
Of the 461 enrolled at Elon College, how many are really students?
The fact that a majority of college men and women spend money
and time at an educational ir stitution and shirk as much work and
stud^f as possible. Is a lamentable one. A serious student with a gen
uine zest for learning frequently becomes an object of campus
r:dlcule, while a brainless football hero is admired and idolized by
his fellow “students”. ,,
There is time for all things. Should there not be, then, be some
time in college life for thought and reflection? Frivolity and cam-
!ius activities are a part o! the program in any normal student’s
life; even childish pranks and bull sessions are to be expected at
intervals. Too many students, however, consider their college career
just one long interval.
The present college student.^ are the future thinkers and leaders
of our country. Slip-shod ways and intellectual apathy do not pro
mote leadership and achievement.
Wake up! Grow up' Shoulder your burden! Budget your time and
allow for a little real adult thought. Be college students!

Editor's Note — Last week we
presented a picture of W. W.
Kimball, and today we give you
an exclusive interview with the
president of our student body
This is the first of a series of
such interviews to be run in the
Maroon and Gold.
Mr. W. W. Kimball, Jr., the
president of our student body, is
a person whom we all know well,
but whom we feel that we would
like to know better. In order that
we may become better acquainted
with him, I have gathered togeth
er in an informal way, some of
the answers to his personal ques
tions.
W. Kimball was born in War
ren County, July 31, 1914. As a
boy he used to haul fertilizer from
Manson, which is about 20 miles
out from Henderson. He attended
Drewry graded school, and receiv
ed his high school diploma from
Middleboro High School in 1932.
He has one brother and four sis
ters, he being next to the young
est. (Knee baby).
He is six feet tall, and has
brown eyes and black hair.
His greatest ambition is to be
afBliated with some big tobacco
company or to be a farmer.
His favorite pastimes — loafing,
hunting, and going to leg shows,
Favorite sports — basketball
and baseball.
F'avorite actor (and actress-
dark Gable and Ginger Rogers.
His favorite song among the
old ones is the “St. Louis Blues’
and among the new popular ones
he likes “Lulu’s Back in Town.’
Favorite dessert — ice cream
(I’ll take vanilla.)
Favorite type of girls—Blondes,
Favorite ‘soift’ drink—Schlitz
and Kruegers.
Open F orum
Dear Editor:
There is one question which 1
have asked repeatedly over the
51 On campus fjnc^ have not, as-J^et
eceived a satih tory answer to:
Namely, what \ the excuse for
the poor attenf,^nce at Sunday
afternon music jlecitals?
I fully realiz^ that many stud
ents leave the' campus for week
ends, sonie few spend Sunday
afternoon in preparation for the
following weeks classes, and quite
a few members of the student
body have dates on Sundays. How
ever, I can’t understand why
couples stroll around the campus
or sit in the reception rooms
holding hands and talking of
nothing of any particular import
ance or benefit when, within
throwing distance, a good music
program is in progress.
I don’t mean to be radical in
my query—I’m only tisking for
information.
