WAR AND MORE WAR Twenty-three years ago a holo caust swept the earth. It con sumed the cream of the human apecies and left nations in ruin. It charied the lloi.r of the earih and polluted the ocean with the blood of corpses. It filled the air with the smell of burnt flesh— an offering ta Mars. Today, with the wounds siill unhealed, Europe i^ again kneel ing to the old war d. Nations ate joining for the battle which no one wants and everyor*;: ex- pect.s. The horrors of paa^, aiii present war.s are being hioden from those who must fight *1 e next one "over there”. The aasas- sinati» n of a llap.-burg g:and duke was the spark which se* off the fu.e to a world of dynamite in 1914. Can the fl.ime of today !>e excingu shed befjre it reaches the dynamite? It is generally known that iht Girl’s I’hyiical Education Depart ment at Elon is sadly neglected, yet nothing ii being done to remedy this condition. Much a*'- tention is paid to Varsity Sports and general Physical Education of the men -.n the campus, while the Physical training ;ind sports In the face of growing unrest and possible turmoil, students are showing an increased interest in the question of to go, or not to go to war. Fervent debates have been loudly and earnestly carried on in the colonnades; hot-headed pacifists have hurled insults at equally sihort-lempered disfipl^ of Mars in scores of “bull-ses- sions,” and yet, what do the stu dents really believe in regard to this question? UNDER WHAT CONDITIONS, IF ANY, WOULD YOU SUPPORT A WAR BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES AND ANY COUNTRY? JUNE LEATH, Soph: “I would not support an aggressive war, but I would support a war of de fence. For example, I would not be in sympathy with a war to ‘help the poor Chinese’.” JIMMIE BROOKS, Senior: “I wt^uld support any war, whether it were offensive or defensive.” HATCHER STORY, Senior: “I would not be in favor of an of fensive war, but I would not be jpposed to a defensive one.” HAROLD HILBURN, Senior; 'I w'-uld not fight unless I had to, as in the ca e of an invading army. In that case, if I did not light, I would be much like the man who would not move when the dam burst in front of h.s .1. me, and remained there to dipwn simply because of his con- iitiLns that this was his h.nie, and no one could make him go. TOM FURNESS, Junitor : “1 would n!-'t be a volunteer in the case of war. If they asked me to gv, 1 would, however. GWEN TILLMANNS, Junior: “1 w'.uld not be in' sympathy with lar in any shape or foim, least oi ■ill an offensive war.” DUANE VORE, Soph: “I would lo war if it were defensive, jut I would not be in favor of a offensive one.” J. W. HILL, So'ph: “If there A as a war, tnere'd be twfc who Uun’t go—me an’ the man who came alter me! What about the ■itatement if two per cent of the men in the United Slates were conscientious objectors there I Aauld be no war?” I AS A KNAVE SEES IT Louie the Duck Ls doing pro found research which is a mile stone in the field. Much has been done in this field verbally, but D-uie the Duck is the first to take action for posterity. Each time Dr. Clark says ‘please”, Louie puts down a mark on a small piece of paper, both back and front. The research ren-ains ,unfinished at date, but as it tands Dr. Clark says “pldase" on^e every fifteen seconds ” he question before the student in telligentsia at the moment is: VVhich is more i^rceful. Dr. Clark’s polite “pleases’' or Dr. tiowden’s aOiupt habit of chalk- throwing ! Personally, chalk rouies me quicker. It was a joy to pay my little quarter to the deans for giggling (Nice word that; say it over to >'-urself ten times fast.) in the iibraiy; they wexe so upset about it, along with the council, and tnen it saved them having to call together that profound body known as the Administration Board. I fear some of us, l’^a^k Doil^van particularly, are fast de veloping all the ear marks of problem children. I understa:id the senate and council have j.ray- er meeting once a week for all such lost souls. Leftovers: The senior 'vho tried sliding down the banisters in Ladies’ Hall the other day can go tj meals and classes again, with the aid of a cushion. A sophf.'morOn was heard to remark after seeing Johnnie Johnson the other night in Chapel Hill: “Now I would like to see Paul. Green arid tell him a few things”. Which reminds me: Have you heard aWJiit the self-made man who worshipped his creator. See Dr. Dickinson for thfe acme of hypo crisy. I met Inky on the walk the other day with a Inky-aize bone. She was trotting persis tently toward home. She even ignored a squirrel which stood be hind a tree and stuck its u-ngue out at her. Did anyone gain any thing from the conference Satur day two weeks ago? Let’s quu; j’m bored too. ALUMNI NEWS The many fr.ends of Martha Sutton and Mike Yorke, both for mer students of Elon, will be glad lo hear of their marriage. Mr. and Mrs. Yoike are living in .Asheboro, where Mr. Yoike is connected with the McCrary Ho siery Mills. Mike Briggs, ne of Elon’s for mer left handed pitc.^'n;' stars, is now married to Mary Stackhouse (Miss Stackhouse took a Businesn Course here in 1D35-36 and lives in Asheboro. Both Mr. and Mr^.

A. and a certificate in So cial Training. Classes are every morning until 12:30—Child Wel fare, Social Legislation and So cial Legislation and Social Prob lems, Principles of Social Re search, and ^Analysis of Social Case Method. All of them are very interesting, but require much outside woi’k. I do my case work at the Associated Charities, one to four-thirty o’clock eveiy day, and Saturday from nine until twelve. That is what I like the best. It is a private agency which deals with cases from the psy chiatric viewpoint. .It is difficult i.ot to spend all yoar time furtnoi* ing your field work, thereby neg lecting your studies. Since we have no texts, we have to do all our study in a Research Room, which means I go back to school after work—never get home until late. But I like it all—except that the University just isn’t and never can be like Elon.” Has anyone glanced around the campus lately? The trees are in their splendor, not to mention the side-walks. No doubt about it. Jack Rabbit, these Catawba boys can use red paint. And they can really write letters, too, can’t they, Ike? ... By the way, we heard that Matlock had a won derful time the other weekend looking at the landscape else where. Is that right, Becky? Wish you wouldn’t be so indefi nite. Dean Messick is a regular boo- gey man. The very idea, scaring little girls-—out of cars! Trust everybody had a good time at the party Hallowe’en. It is rumored that something very humorous happened.

Mrs. Allen, tell your boys hello. MINISTERIAL ASSOCIATION An interesting discussion on the subject, “What Are Successful Methods in Stimulating Interest in a Mill Village Pastorate”? was ied by Isaiah Sears in the regular W’eekly meeting of the Ministeral Associatil.,n on the afternoon of November 2. All members of the Association agreed that the com plicated social order found in a mill village pastorate made thi- minister’s task a difficult one. The best .solution e.'^jlved was that the minister should make a tlrf rough study of conditions as he found them in his particular field through instruction in the principles laid down by Chri-;t he would seek to lead the people to a higher level of Christian liv ing. A revision of the constitution of the AssociatL'n was read and accepted. The constitution now includes as full members al! who are interested in giving sei’vice to the Church. On Monday afternoon, Novem- ,ber 8, Emerson Sanderson deliver-, ed the sermon which folLwed a devotional period, led by Presi dent Victor Murchison. CHAPEL AND CHURCH NEWS The Rev. David T. Eaton, rector of the Episcopal church, of Bur lington, was the chapel speaker for the week of November 1. On November 3, the'minister spoke on “The Mystery of Religion”. The scriptural passage which provided a backgrLund for this address was from tne fir^t cnapter of tne Reve lation. The Rev. Eaton spoke again in an interesting manner at the cnapel service on November 5. His text was “Lord, what will thou have me to do?” Chapel services during the past week were conducted by members of the student body. The subject ^under oonsiderati/^n for the week was in keeping with tne Armi'stice programs. Tne chapel speaker for next week will be the Rev. J. Elwood Carrol, Pastor of the Grace Metnodist Protestant Church, Greensboro, North Carolina. Prof. Barney: What is the Nat ional emblem of the United States, Mr. Thompson?

The girls on the campus do not want to participate in sports a iJ other activities connected with Physical Education? It is true that Freshman and Sophomore girls are supposed to take a Gym course. Ordinarily, this would be a pleasure, but the lack of equipment and organiza tion of the work make the hours spent on Physical Education classes nothing more than a col- losial bi-re. If even a minimum amount of time and effort were spent by those in charge of rhis phase of college work the girls would gain much in pleasure and benefit. Many Juniors and Sen iors would take the course, even many presidents havi been at Elon College and wh rt'ete they? 1. When did the old Administra tion building burn? 5. Who was president when the new Administration buildings were built, and why are the.\ grouped as they are? t). For what purpose was EasL Doimuory first used? /. From what source does “Elon’ derive its name? 8. For what purpose was the 1 ublishing ilouse built and first used?
