The MAROON AND GOLD has recently received several bits of correspondence from va rious members of the student body; we wish to thank you and hope you will continue to send your letters and notes to us. We encourage criticism of all kinds, and realize our paper can be impTOved upon greatly. But, plea.-^, if you have not the decency to write something to which you are not a.shamed to sign your name, or at least wTite in your own handwriting, don’t bc'ther writ ing us. We’d rather think our readers are of high enough in telligence to know what a col lege paper is for, and how one is to be read. Let’s have more contributions from all of you, and in that way help us make our college paper one of which we shall all be proud. Had a minor riot at Eloii one day laat week. With the un naturally warm weather, everyone had windows wide open, and when jn anrbulance sped by, accom panied by a police escort with si ren screaming, it caused a sen- saition. Misses Brown, Jilclver anid Edwards at that moment tx)k it into their heads to trot aim lessly down, Elon’s Main Street, towaird the higivway. They un- icnowingly set the p^ace for scores of students and townspeople, picked up and ran, heading for points west, *praading the word that thei^ haid been a wreck, and that an Elan boy had been hurt. When the above-mentioned young ladies looked behind them, they were to say the least mildly astonished to see half the college Alumni Meet Here Today Annual Sessions To Begin At Two Leonard To Make Address The College weic mes members of the Alumni Association to the campus this lafternoon. They will be in a business session at 2 o’clock in the Society Hall. Dr. J. E. Rawls, President of the as sociation, is unable tj attend;, and in his absence Mr. L. J. Perry, Vice-Pres'ident, will preside. About 100 alumni are expected to be present. One of the main topics f,>r dis cussion during the busine-s ses sion is the place of Alumni Day in the Commencement program. Heretofore, Tuesday has been the regular day f ,r the gatliering of he '“grads”. Since the program is rather long, beginning Friday night and running through Wed nesday, i: has been suggested that Alumni Day oould irome eithdr* on Saturday, or it couJd be com bined with class day which i-omes on Monday. This would elimin ate one day fr.m the program. A high-light of the program will be a talk by Lauience Leon ard, sp.rts editor of the Greens boro Daily News, on “The Mo,dera Tendency in College Athletics”. Dr. Smith will give a short talk telling of his ambiti.ns for the college before 1940. He is looking forward to the 50th An niversary of the founding of Elon College, and pians for this cele bration are t> be discussed and decided at that time. trailing in their wake. Girls were flying out of the dormit>ries, adequately dressed at least as far as coats andi shoes were con cerned. Carloads of Elon boya were in the highway before the sound of the siren had fairly died away. Girls and boys alike were climbing the wall, and dashing breathlessly tward the bend in the road. But when they reached the bend in the road only a blank highway greeted them. N'O wreck. No am bulance. No poilice. No injured Elonite. The ambulaace had been on its wiay to Greensboro with a rush case. The police escort cleared the way only as far as. the highway just below Elon. Elon students turned, headed for the dormitories, and continued dress ing for dinner. 1 Questionnaire Brings Interesting Results In the last issue of the Maroon and Gold a questionaire was pub lished in order to create interest among readers. The question was “What are you in college for?” On looking over the results of the questionnaire, we find that 40 per cent of the answers plac ed as the leading reason for com ing to college, “to beoonte a more useful citizen of the world”. The second outstanding reaison was “to prepare fk>r a specific voca tion”. The third leading reason was “that college graduates do better in business.” We also find that other reaajns which domln- : ated in the returns 'were: “to find the higher learning,” “be cause my family thought I should go to eollege,” and “to settle on a vocation” Andther question naire will appear in our issue •J‘£ March 5.
