Onr readers i^ay be curious
abo»t how the Maroon and Gold
i, printed. To satasfy this hypo-
thetk-^1 curiosity, a"'*
the dour look on prmteis tace..
the following facts are presented.
After the editors—that is, the
Journalism class
their durndest in gatheiing the
writing it up, and headlin
ing it, the typewritten copy s
J,. t. the OH,., ol
iles-enger in Yanceyville. There
'the copy is cast into type on a
linotyping machine, after w u
it i/returned to the Elon press
room. Then the type for each
page is assembled in a frame, the
headlines are set up by hand, and
each page is run off separately
oi> the temperamental Hoe press.
Pai?e two comes off first, follow
ed in order daily by pages three,
one, and four.
The printers, who really de
serve a lot of credit for remain
ing ('hristians in the face of in
finite complicatiens and jams and
the usual trickiness of any print
ing operation, are Frank Dono
van and Wesley Holland, and are
supervised and otherwise annoy
ed by Dr. Collins. Tom Perry
usually drops in of an evening,
and usually per.suades the print
ing press to behave itself.
All these operations are more
easily described than done. In
fact, it is a constant wonder to
the printers how the paper ever
-ets finished by Saturday morn
ing. They .joke a little about the
avjerage student’s idea of theJ
Marcwn and Gold just rollinpr off
the pres.-i.
The Elon College Debaters be
gin work this week on the debate
query for 19?>7-38, “Resolved:
That the National Labor Relations
Board should be Empowered to
Enforce Arbitration of All In-
lustrial Disputes.” All indica
tions point to a stronger and
more impressive aggregation of
debater? than there was last sea
son. Upon resuming forensic ae-
dvities after a lap.se of sever.il
■••ears, Elon College last year im
mediately surged to a position of
leadership among the small col-
'eges and won several decisive
victories over large universities.
Dr. French, who will coach the
■ ebators again this year, says that
orospects for a successful seascn
have never been brighter. Isaiah
iears, Emerson Sanderson, and
f,eGrande Moody from last year’s
arsity team are back and eager
for the clashes ahead, .\mong
he membeM of the Freshman
•lass there are several students
vith successful high school de
bating records. Some upper
•lassmen who could not partici-
>ate last year have also decided
;o come out this season.
The debaters will get into ac-
ion for the first time this year
it the annual Strawberry Leaf
Tournament held at Winthrop
College, Rock Hill, South Caro-
ina. During three days begin-
ling December 2. each college
vill debate five times. All wil!

The line of the Bears averaged
