STUDENT GOVERNMENT AT ELON o There is a great lack of student government on the Elon Campus. i3oth faculty and students are continuously discussing the previous- ,y stated fact. Who is to blame? Ask the faculty and they will agree I hat of course the students are entirely at fault. There is quite a • lillerent opinion prevailing, however, among the student body; the majority of students think the faculty is the cause of all *he trouble. Both views are partly right, and both are also partly wrong. There can not, of course, be any successful student government without the cooperation of the student body. A right attitude has first to be developed in regard to this major campus problem. There is probably more ill feeling toward a person who will report than toward any other type on the campus. This feeling should be done away with, and In its stead there should be respect for student officers. The administration cjaims that the improper functioning of government by the students entitles it to take in charge any piob- . ,'eiiv Ot-stndfnt (KiscjjiIJne^ U Jher^ ts.to ,be fltuficnt government on the Elon Campus it should be given a fair chance. The faculty is not willing to give the student officers free rein because of a lack of confidence in their ability. On the other hand, students do not g.ve their best to student government because of the resentment of faculty interference. There should and probably will be a crisis sometime.^ soon. May the best side win! CONGRATULATIONS ■—()— It is with a great deal of pride that we congratulate Coach "Peahead” Walker and Assistant Coach Ellis Fysal on the splen did football team which they turned out this year. Those who saw the team in action will agree that such a har monious, smooth-working eleven could only be the result of hours of hard work under the capable coaching of two men who knew their business. It is gratifying to note that in all the games which Elon won our goal line was not crossed and that in the games which we lost, the score did not go above fourteen points. Credit, of course, is given to the players as well as the coaches for their spirit and perseverence. But to “Peahead” Walker and Ellis Fysal must be given the credit for shaping and moulding the team into a. compact, efficient, and co-operative group with the power and drive to sweep down the field in a concentrated unit and put up a good, clean fight—whether the result was victory or defeat. And so the Maroon and Gold wishes to give a big hand to Coach C. D. Walker and Assistant Coach Ellis Fysal for their efficient and competent work.

They seem to be Quite good at finding out or fre quently inventing things that it really isn’t necessary to print, but 1 have noticed that none of their indiscrete actions and untimely, unnecessary remarks are printed. Why should they be immune to gossip—get someone to play nursemaid to them and record and publish all their sins.

From my own peiBonal observation, It has seem- e',’. to me that conduct is growing progressively worse each succeed ing week. Last Monday I observed that we were entertained by a very brilliant speaker from Har vard University. The unseemly behavior of some students was not only extremely embarrasing to the Deans, but certainly it must have ulso created a very sorry Impres sion of the caliber of Elon’s stu dent body in the speaker’s mind. It is customary in our assembly periods to devote a certain por- i.on oi tae timu to pep talks and cheers. This idea in itself is not objectionable, but it seems to me that it is paving the way for a rowdy atmosphere. Students do not seem to be able to keep the cheering in its proper sphere. The entire assembly period seems to be a period when pandemonium is allowed to reign supreme. If the hour is to be nothing more than a glorified pep-meeting, then i suggest that the services be moved to the gymnasium where there is plenty of room, and where we are not expected to preserve an attitude of decent, civilized decorum.

A visitor might well Inquire whether the college were offer ing a course in bad manners and gluttony. Accord.ng to the stc.n- dards of some of our cultured collegians, we may as well dis pense with the bell and have the head waiter pound on a pan and give a hog-call. Part of the trou ble is caused by too many people’s desire to eat on the first shift; most of it, however, is simply the desire of the students to get their leet in the trough. ■Cuthbert Clutterbucket Rev.
