C., under Act of March 3, 1879. Inquiring Reporter What Is a Diploma Worth? Tlie old time joke liad it tliat the graduate of a school or college would put his diploma in liis j)oeket, and proudly show it to a prospec tive employer, to i>rove lie was worthy to sell dry goods or keep books. Anyway, he hung his diploma on the wall, where no visitor could miss seeing it. The molern college graduate frecjuently goes home when his final e.xamination is i)assed, without waitiny to ruj up his black gown and receive his personally, the co-veted piece of sheepskin. But somehow people always find out that he has that diplonui tucked away in some desk drawer. The dii>loma of any good school proves that when the holder starts to saw up a woodjjile, he keeps on to the last stick. That means some thing in a world of quitters. Face the Facts “If there’s a song in your heart there’s a way to sing it.” That is to .say, if you have any talents, a place will soon he found for you in the business world, where you will be able to carry out your ambi tions, get rich and then marry the boss’ daughter. For the past few years the above expression and interpretations has been the keynote of all the “lnisines.s-experienced” lecturers, who also hasten to assure us that ‘‘there are always plenty of opportunities for employment for “jiod, capHble men.” . ^ Let us face the facts! It is time that we students refuse to go out into the world, blindfolded by a happy-go-lucky, short-sighted opti mism ! We know or should know that every year thousands of brilliant college graduates find themselves in breadlines, simply because there is no place in the business world. What chance have we? Although a spirit of blind optimism is to be scorned, we should not allow ourselves to slip down into the depths of despair and hopeless ness. We shoidd be determined to do something about our present con ditions. We shall strive, as many of our government officials are now doing, to bring about a change in our present system of society, whereby there shall no longer be poverty amidst riches, and hunger amidst plenty. If our forefathers have failed to make this world a fit place to live in, let us do so! Let >is think first and then act! Ours is a grand and inspiring opportunity. \ Music Is Essential There is j)erhaps much in this fruitful world which one may ignore, but there is much more which is very necessary to the make-up of a oom]ilotc life. One of these things which one cannot possibly ignore is music. This has been thoroughly proved by its advancement. The most ignorant people have their desirable tunes. The Indian songs of warfare, the “jazz age,” i)opular nuisic. and classical nuisic, have all luul a part in the develoi)ment of human culture. To enjoy music, one need not be an artist, but he must develop an appreciation for its power, whether it be inspiring, soothing, intriguing. He iiuist be able to distinguish the finest, and develop his ability to enjoy that only. Music may often be felt as an expression of the emotions, and serve not only as entertainment, but as a place of refuge from the tiring and distracting. Courage Courage is the thing. It takes more courage to live than to die. Isn’t this ])roved by the fact that so many more of us die well than live well ? To be really virtuous, courage is essential. We should thank our Lord daily for courage. It is surely the greatest thing lie has blessed us with. With courage what cannot we accomplish? We can encounter all the trials and contests of life with firmness, without fear or thought of being defeated. With this courage, perhaps we shall be able to live as well as we die. 1^^ L pHOTO'ENGRA^Rs ZINC AND COPP€« ETCHINGS BEN DAY_HALFTONES -COLOR PLATES D€/IGn/ DftlLY n€UJ/ BWILDinC L^mRinc GR€€n/BORO nORTH CflROLinA I'hc quiwtioii of lliis week Is one that is (ifteii di.si iissi'd ainoii'4 tlie students on tli;‘ caniims.

New York: ‘If we were iierniitted to clioose tliose who were to «it witli us at our tables. 1 would bf in favor of si'at- Inf; arrangements. It is very unpleas ant, however, to have to sit with peo ple wlioni you lo not eare for very muc h, as a great many ut us have had to do this year. We enjoy mealtime a great deal more, if we eaii eat with tlia^e we like." Klmi.na ItHoDES, Windsor, Va.: "I think the best plan for seating arrange ments in the dining hall would be this: During tlie lirst month of school make compulsory assignments in order to get the freshmen ac(iuainted with the up- ln'rclassmen. After tliat 1 think every one should be allowed to sign up for the table lie prefers. Meals are mueh more enjoyable when eaten with con genial iKjople." Wiiuir Newsome, Salisbury, N. C.: "I do not tliink we should have seating ar rangements because it causes so much confusion. It is very hard to be able to eat with a good appetite when your neigliboi is 'pupping off' about who he or she has a date with or where they are going. Then there is also the buy or girl who talks until every one else is through, then they begin to eat. This could be remedied, if students were al lowed to sit where they wished." JJecky Ana'e IIoluex, I^juiaburg, N. C.: "I'm not very seriously opiKised to si>ei'ial sealing arrangements in the din ing hall. Hut I do think that the diu- ing hall should be a place where every one is with the crowd he or she likes. 'I'rue, if we did not have the si«;eial as- signineuts there would be plenty of con tusion and the tir^st ones to come would be the ones to get the iilaces which he or she wanted. In other words, yes and no I" Uoc WiHTt:, Charlotte, X. C.: "I be lieve that the disad\'antages of assigning seats in the dining hall far out-weigh the advantages. Mealtime should be a time of relaxation and enjoyment for the student. The assigning of seats runs counter to this idea l>y not allowing the student to choose as his tableniates tliose with whom he would most enjoy his meals." NN. IviMiiAi.L, Mansm. N. C.: "I think there should be table u.ssignmeuis, be cause it gives students a chance to become better acquainted with other students. It also affords an easier cheek on meal tickets from the standpoint of the dietitian. Also, through the process of table assignments there Is a chance for better dining-room decorum because It eliminates boys' 'staggering up' a table, which has a tendency to lessen their table manners." Ix)uisE Hkendlek, Irvington, X. J.: "’J’here should be table assignments in the college dining hall in order to pre vent the students from pushing and crowding each other in order to get a seat. Ueing assured of seats at par.icu- lar tables, the students are less likely to stampede into the dining hall. The students can also make more and bet ter acquaintances, if we have seating assignments." Lawhknce Cajieho.n, Olivia, X. C.: "I think we should ha\e seating arrange ments because the dining hall is one of the best places to become better ac qualnted with our fellow students, and if we sit beside the same i>erwon all the time we miss this opportunity of mak ing more friends." Helen Scales, (Jreensboro, X. C.: "Sealing assignments at the lirst of the year make it easier for uew students to become acquainted with old ones and with each other, but after the lirst month or so I think everyone should be allowL'd to sit with whom he wishes. This way the meal would be mueh more enjoyable.” Lawbe.\ce Fakbell, Aberdeen, X. C.; "I am very much opix)sed to seat as signments because I like to change my table when I get ready and sit with whom I please. The way breakfast is handled should answer tliis question for everyone.” The questions for this are taken from those which you submit. Let's think up some good ones!

Oben Forum Editor of The Mako)x ax» Gold: Most of the dorniitor.v girls hear of Miss Haynes' departure from Elon with real regret. To those of the nnderchiss- men who return ne.xt year, we seniors hope for you a dean as interesting, as individual and as genuinely likeable as she has been. A good characteristic is, as I’rofessor Prior has told freshmen, “the ability to provoke thought, indignant and otherwise. If a faculty member can do that to some of the students here his work is «ell done.” Dean Haynes pro vokes thought, and those who think are better off for it. Elon will miss Deau Haynes, and we hope that she will teach English litera ture to l«-r heart's content somewhere else. I.t't us hoiie that her successor will have the wit, ingenuity and cul ture which Miss Haynes possesses. ESTHER HOPPEXSTODT. Dear Students: We are now approaching the most im portant part of our .school year—final e.xaminations and commencement. It wilt be our time, and yet it should be our happiest. Our friends and parents will be here and we want them to see Elon at the best and to lie happy while they are here. For a num ber of us it is the last time we will be able to he with our friends and class mates at Elon. and nattirally we want to enjoy ourselves and be as happy as possible. Let's [lut on a Happiness Campaign and see who can make the most piMiiile the happiest during these final days. Let each and everycne of vs make the days sweeter to remem ber by helping ever.vone else as much as we can and trying to make each day better than the day before. .MERLE RAYBl'RN.
