ATTITUDES
There are good attitudes and bad attitudes; pleasant attitudes
and unpleasant attitudes; belligerent attitudes and pacific attitudes
In other words, one linds attitudes of all kinds as he journeys
through llf«.
But why do we find the unfavorable on disparaging attitudes
so prevalent in life todr.y? They do not find a helpful and harmonic
attitude among people today?
Even here at Elon we find a belligerent attitude toward study,
an unfavorable attitude toward the better things of life, and a
disparaging attitude toward the student who attempts to study.
Why should this be'' After all we’re in college to prepare ourselves
for the life ahead of us, and we certainly cannot hope to attain any
degree of success whatsoever if We do not first form a proper at
titude toward life. And the place to formulate these helpful atti
tudes of life l8 in colie**.
Of course, we also find some favorable attitudes on our cami)u3
too, but this type is rarer than the former. It is so easy to form
the proper attitudes, and one gets so much more enjoyment out
of life when he has the proper attitudes that we should stop now
and take an inventory of our attitudes. When we have done this,
let’s begin to form desirable attitudes, -tnd then wo’ll really live.
FRIENDS
“What can I give to my friends?" is the question that each
one of us should ask ourselves from time to time in order that we
may keep the friends we do have, and that we may make new and
lattlng friendships. Yet our attitude is more frequently one of con
tinually expecting the most from our friends. We prey upon their
generosity borrowing clothes and books which we are carelcss of,
and asking for paper and pencils that we never think of returning.
We do more than that. At any time of the day or night we feel
free to enter our friends’ rooms and waste v.aluable time in idle
chattering or spreading malicious gossip. Not unfrequently we are
careless of the things we say to our friends, often making remark.s
to them which we would hesitate in saying to a mere acquanunce.
And yet are not our friendis, closer and dearer to us and therefore
deserving of more consideration. It seems then, that it would bt'
worthwhile if each of us would cultivate an attitude of ihanklul
appreciation for friendship—an appreciation which would be mani
fested in thoughtful consideration of the property, t*nie, and leol-
irigs of our friends.
BULL SESSIONS
College customs and traditions change with the wind, but thi'
old-fashioned bull sessions survive them all. An.v attempt to abolish
them would be futile, but they could stand improvement. Perhap.s
a campaign for a higher type of bull session with the slogan
■‘Sling Constructive Bull” would be advisable.
The familiar bull session of today is anything but inspiring. A
group of students assemble in a smoke-filled room and fervently
discuss anything from the price of eggs to the best methods of
bluffing the faculty with ample time for consideration of other
topics In betweem.
Nightly meetings at which gossip, .'■■lander, "griping”, and in
decent Jokes constitute the program are injurious not only to the
participants, but also to the persons being discussed. A person's
reputation is not what he 1;, but what other people think he is.
Much unhappiness may be causedby unjust criticism and false ac
cusation often made in jest at a bull session. “If you can’t say
something nice about a person, say nothing at all.”
Bull sessions could and should be the scenes of worthwhile
discussion. A person can train his mind in the right ch.mnels, or
he may develop it in the v/rong way. Do bull sessions, in the populai'
interpretation of the term improve the mind or benefit anyone?
If so, they are to be toleratc-d in modei-ai’ce, it not they are to be
ondemned.

Dear Editor:
What’s happened to the

little lusty support from the
students, the team could come

of 20-0. Let’s give the fellows a
