Elon students have a peculiar attitude toward work. In August of each year, the mails are full of letters from zealous students seek ing work for the coming school year. They plea-d that they can not come back to school without work to help them pay their ex penses. They vow that their work will dciie faithfully and care fully. They would not think of taking money which they have not earned. And in most cases, they are given a job anid the privilege ,f saying that they are “working (.heir way through college.” Then it is October. Already, ■tudents have forgotten their premises. Sweepers have given up sweeping; dusters have given up du.^ting; students come into the dining hall to find their tables only half set up; professors won- lifrr why their blaokboards have not been cleajied, and working students are intent upon the piac- uce of doing as liitle work in as little time as’ possible. And yet, the working studeints know their responsibilities. They kjiow their duty. They know by heart that paragraph in the Hand book: “iituden'i.s who have as many as five unexcused absences in any one course during a semes- ,ter, or stmdentg who have as anany as five unexcused chapel and church cuts during a semester, will be automati'caliy deprived of further college aid.” But they cut They cut chapel and They continue to do Again on the eve of Thajiks- giving we are showered with an assortment of editorials, speeches, and the general line of ballyhoo, work‘i7'a sirpshormIiiner“ telling us how we should celebrate, reverence, or otherwise be affect-’ There are many coinscientious ed by thi* day that our Pilgrim stud'ents on the campus.

There’s quite a dif ference between the time and a dime, Maccy ol’ boy! AS A KNAVE SEES IT I was wondering lonely as a cloud the other day in an obscure spot of the campus (I was looking for the nickle I had lost in those parts last year) when I spied two victims of the love bug. I judged from the look of earnest expect ancy on their faces that tliey were fireshmen. I eavedropped . . . yes, but only for the sake of art. The young man gazed at the elements a mom ent amd begian, “Alas! Must I for ever indulge in this maddening retrospection bereft of any inform ation concerning capricious fate’s treament of the object of my af- iectioin and adoration? Must I suffer in silence the agonies in flicted by this oblivating blanket of stygian darkness? (Where have you been for the lasit week?) The obliterating effects of excesssive bacoainalian revelry have failed utterly to erase the indelible marks left by you in my innermost soul as you on'ce traversed its sacred interior. Savvy?” I s.uggest we present this young lad with a dip loma and send him merrily on his way. There is a democratic gathering behind Alamance every day. Buicks sit beside Fords in perfect harm ony, but there is not a collegiate four-wheeler in the group, nor is there an Elon sticker on more than two of them. Which means what? Who are those library louses (not lice) who steal magazines from that sanctuary of celestial quietness? This is a rhetorical question. Four master minds of the Pub lishing House were concentrating on a bridge game. The room was silent. The only sounds came from below where Johnny and Arty were cracking up their luxu rious buggy. Suddenly Capillary broke forth: “Clubs is trumps, ain’t it?” The remaining three looked up and gazed quietly at the puzzled fourth, then rose simultaneously and silently left "Cap” mumbling to himself, “Clubs is trumps, ainH it?” IT WAS THE LAW Messick Speaks n the subject of “Cnild Care”.

As time passes rules change, or, at least in the review of the regu lations and rules of past Elon College catalogues it is true. Did you know that boys and girls in the past history of Elon College were subject to the following rules? Boys and girls speaking in the halls received demerits, and, after a certain number, were subject to dismissal. in the dining hall, boys were required to eat on opposite siaes of the tables from the girls. Girls were allowed to have dates once every month. The girls then had something to look for ward to, or did they? Boys were not allowed in the girls’ dormitory except on datnm Who was that girl I saw you walking with last night? (That was no girl, that was my brother, he just walks that “way.
