Plain or Laizy
Elon students are either ex-
tt'spively wealthy, or excessively
lazy. From wlvat we’ve known
rouiidabout the College, it cannot
be the first. It jnust be the last.
Lazy, juj-t plain ol’ lazy.
Some weeks agj, a contest was
announced. A c ntest sponsored
by the MAROON AND GOLD, to
discover an idea for improving the
college, the community, and the
campus. A }.rize of $5 was offer
ed. It really wouldn’t have taken
much energy to think up a slight
improvement for the college; stu
dents are forever cojnpiaming
about something thai’s ' wrong
about Elon. But they won’t even
think for $5!
We had lWO replies for ur con
test. Iwu! To these two, we
take clf our hats. They must be
the oniy two Eljnites wno can, or
'will, think!
Why Help Japan?
In a -peech beiore the House,
CongresMnaii Scjtt f California,
recently puintej out that 85 per
cent of Japans pr.nc.pal export,
silk, s sold ;n me Unit>;J State--,
and tnat t'7 percent of our silk
supply frm Japan, but
that many of the e.-.pji,.. ol the
UniCtr;: s:aies have ueen g i.ng to
Japan a-id tn^L Lne jmoua.s of
export# to that coun:.ry nave
greatly increased since the out
break of the Sino-Japanese war.
He p.ants out that the British Em
pire, the United States, Holland,
France, and their possessions ac
count l,r pi'rtctieally two-thiids ot
Japan’s imports and exports and
that the-^e inur nations acting to
gether fuuiJ decrease Japan’s
Bupplits that the war machiau
iwiiuld be unable to function.
M». Scuit submitted a chart
which shows the increase of our
expatt^ to Japan from January ti
October 1937 over our exports
during the same period in 1936.

SNIP AND SNOOP take this
opportunity to express their sin
cere and ardent welcome to all
new and returning students. We
trust that the year will bring suc
cess, and — aw — Hi, gang!
Here’s to ya!
Something’s g>otta be done about
this B. B. Club. We thought the
Christmas Holidays would dis-
orgajiize the group, but now we
find that the Club is going strong
er than ever, especially since the
rush season has begun. We fol
lowed a couple of suspici us
looking characters, who were sus
pected rf being members. Then
one went one way, and the other
went in the opposite direction. We
didn’t know which to keep on
and airy and well-equipped. *
Many students here have a dif
ficulty that those in the States
do not have. English is the na
tive tongue of comparatively few
students, yet all have to know
English in order to attend the
University. Unfortunately, many
have had poor training in Eng
lish and (io not realize it un
til they reach here. Practically
all students speak two languages
and many three or more. In my
two classes I have students from
Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, Irak,
Egypt, Greece, Russia, Austria,
France, Argentina, Peru, the Unit-

shadowing. We followed the
■wrong one, on account of we got
a door slammed in our face. May
be the B. B. Club doesn’t want to
be known. Don’t they know se
crets can’t be kept long at Elon?
Briefs: (Or should that be
“brieves?” Which it is, Gwen?
You’re an English major!) Still
playin’ possum, Polly? . . . John
Henry says his technique of ig
noring ’em always w rks. If that
is the secret of his success, may
be we oughta try it, huh, boys?
. . . . When a bug hits Elon, it
sure hits hard. F’r instance, ap
pendicitis, triangular scarves,
exams, delegations from Danville,
and love . . . Mama! That mar
Hinkle’s here again.
An Open Letter From Dr. Burrows
The Maroon and Gold has re
cently received an open letter from
a former Elon profe^8or, Dr. Bur
rows. W’ith his permission we
print it herewith:
Dear Elon Friends,
I pri/mised to let many of you
know how I like my work, how
I like the country, and, especial
ly, how the students here com
pare with those in the States. In
beginning such an account I find
it difficult to know just what
things will be most interesting to
you, as there are so many things
that 1 could wTite. So I shall
select a few that appear to have
some appeal and let the others
wait until a later date.
Although I enjoyed my work at
Elon and rather hated to leave so
many friends, I do not regret hav
ing come out here. The Univer
sity has an excellent location, be
ing situated on the cape just west
of the city. The campus_faces
the north and overlooks the sea.
To the east lies the city and the
harbor and forming a background
for these are the Lebanon M-un-
tains, several of which are now
snow-capped. Da;e palms, pines,
orange trees, grapefruit trees, cOid
many other trees and shrubs grow
on the campus.
The biology building is nearly
forty years old but is so modern
and well equipped that m^ny of
the large universities in the
States would be glad to have it.
It contains three large museums—
one in geology and paleontology,
one in zoology, and one in arcne-
ology. There is an excellent her
barium which contains most of the
plants of Syria and Palestine. The
biological laboratories are large

DO COW- PUNCHERS APPRECIATE
CAMELS COSniER TOBAGC
Ted YOCHUM was born and raised in the
cattle country. Speaking from personal
observation, Ted says: "Cow-punchers are
great Camel smokers. Seems like if a man
smokes Camels once — he sticks to ’em. Come
round-up time —I’m in the saddle for hours,
and not sparin’ myself. A Camel sure hits
the spot then. I get a mighty pleasant 'lift.’ ”
Yes, and to America at large, Camel’s costlier
tobaccos have such a special appeal that they are
the largest-selling cigarette In this country!
COLLEGE STUDENT Herb Weast

exams, nerves often ti»;hten up. I’ve
found Camels don’t get on my nerves.”
AUTO MECHANIC A1 Patterson
(right): “In the garage business you
have to catch your meals on the run.
I find that Camels seem to smooth
the way for good digestion. ”
