About twelve days ago 9 boys, headed by Charlie Ham rick, got together and decided to have hand and called their first rehearsal for that even ing. It didn't sound so awful bad and they decided to stick at it. Last Saturday night the I. T. K. Fraternity threw a scrumptious in the gym and hired the newly-formed orchestra to furnish the rhythm. The as well attended and everyone seemed to be very much surprised at the Elon orchestra and at the trans formation of the gymnasium into a nice The musicians did nobly well, and, according to comment, satis fied everybody. A few typical comments were: “'Best Elon ever had ’, “The music was darn good”, “That drummer was plenty hot ’, etc. We hape the band sticks together and really gets some where. The personnel of the orchestra is as follows: Saxes: (1) Howard Brown, (2) Louie Hubbard, (3) Tommy Herit age, (4) Jimmy Parker. Trumpets: (1) Ben Stepherson, (2) Jimmie Lightbourne. Trombone: Buddy Hayden. Piano: Charlie Hamrick. Drums: Joe Barnwell. The boys say that they want you to tell them what you like or! dislike about the music. They willl appreciate every bit of construc tive criticism that you can give them.

Ministers In Conference Here Make Plans For Elon Golden Anniversary Celebrations Last Saturday’s Party Sets The Style For A Great Social Year Elon Band In Full Blast This Year Professor Morgan In Brilliant Recital Last Monday Night Professor Robert Morgan made his debut to Elon College last Monday night. He was received with much enthusiasm. Profes sor Morgan chose as his first num- . ber “Thirty-two variations on an original theme in C minor” by Beethoven. He gave an excel lent interpretation of this compo sition. For his second number of the program, he chose a complete sonata by Chopin. It was Chopin's Sonata, Opus 35, in B flat minor. This composition is divided into four movements. The first move ment is marked Grave-Doppio Movimento. The second move ment is marked Scherzo. This movement is rapid in its move ment. We then have the move ment w'hich is marked Marche- Funevre. The work closes with a (Continued on Page Four) Blaring trumpets, moaning trombones, and screeching licorice sticks, have again taken the cam pus by storm. Every day we find these youthful longhairs almost in step, straggling across the cam pus or handing out of some dormi tory window, practicing his heart out on some wierd lick or diffi cult passage. The boys in the band are woodshed'n’ continually to guarantee their chances of re maining in this fast-stepping out fit. I Charlie Hamrick,*our competent conductor, is really doing a much appreciated job. He says he is expecting to have one of the snaz ziest bands in the state this year. With cute little Evelyn Lilley front’n’ the band, you must admit the bandsmen certainly have something to look forward to. | Ask people living within two miles of the Publishing House why they can’t sleep now. Is it; because several members of the, band would rather play than sleep j at night, Archie? Oh well, they have to study sometime! While | we are on the subject of sleep and music, did you hear Charlie Ham-j rick trying the snore bass in the: choir, Sunday? Was that an un der-tone, Professor Pratt? ! In case you didn’t notice, the band uniforms almost fit the men I Friday. Why? Well, maybe we should keep it a secret, but our Drum Majoress is almost human. “Versatile Evy”, as she is affec tionately called by the boys, prov ed she knew almost as much about the old-fashioned art of hem- Delta Psi Omega Has New Officers And Five Neophytes On Monday, September 19, the Delta Psi Omega dramatic frater nity held its first meeting of the year. At this meeting officers were elected. They were Walter Fonville, president; Jack Neese, vice-president; and Duane Vore, secretary-treasurer. Other mem bers of the fraternity include Mel vin James, Juanita Waugh, Gwen Tillmanns, and Dr. Fletcher Col- lings, faculty advisor. Delta Psi Omega is a national honorary fraternity of which there has been an Elon College chapter for several years. It is composed of those students who have done outstanding work in dramatics. The organization presents at least one play a year, cast, directed, and produced by members of the fra ternity. Contrary to the custom of pledg ing new members in the spring, the Fraternity has already pledged five new members, who increase the total membership to twelve. The pledges are Kay James, Max ine Hudgins, Charlie Hamrick, Ben Hurst, and Tom Perry. All of these will be remembered by old students for their excellent dramatic work of last year, espe cially in Margaret Earp’s “Bram- blebush” and Isaiah Sears’ “Mill Village”. Here’s The Dope On Campus Regulations In cooperation with the Student Government Association, the MA ROON AND GOLD presents a series of regulations about which there has been some doubt. It is hoped that this will clear up any difficulty, and help to familiarize Elon boys with the rules, and em phasize them for the girls. Girls may not walk on east cam pus, that is, beyond the Y. W. C. A., at any time. Students may walk together on the campus and to the drug store during the noon hour, but at night, after dinner until 7:30, and during the regular dating hours on Saturday and Sunday, the following places may be used for dating: West Dormi tory Reception Hall, the hallways at either end of the reception hall, the Faculty Parlor, the Junior- Senior Parlor, the walks directly in front of West Dormitory, and beside the Music Building on the side toward West Dormitory. \ Girls may not walk on the campus at night, nor may they go beyond the Music Buildings. Last Saturday night, the beauti fully decorated gymnasium, the I. T. K. fraternity really out-did themselves in sponsoring what turned out to be one of the most enjoyable social events in the hos- tory of the school. The red and black streamers, symbolic of I. T. K., blended very well with the dim blue lights, and the green background of the pine trees supplied a colorful setting for the orchestra. Music was sup plied by Charlie Hamrick and his band, a nine piece aggregation of lilting rhythm and novelty. The affair chaperoned by Dean Oxford, Mrs. Johnson, and Professor Stew art. There remains little doubt that EVERYONE was sincere in hop ing this to be the first of many such events. Saturday nights would be something to look for ward to, if similar affairs of this type were arranged. There would no longer be a general exodus of all “Gables” to Burlington and Greensboro as there has been in the past. Yes, sir, the question on everyone’s mind is: When is the next t>ne? Make it SOON! Alumni To Hold Conference Here Every Class Invited Concert Series Is Announced For Year By Professor Pratt I Elon Singers Begin Work on “Messiah” Social Clubs Have Picnic At Cabin The annual flurry of social en tertainment began Monday even ing. Sept. 19. when the Kappa Psis and the Tau Zetas held their first party of the year, a picnic supper at Kivitt's cabin near Gibsonville. There were about forty mem bers present, including Miss Beat ty Wilkins, Mr. Hal Watts, and a few more members of last year’s alumni. They were also honored The Elon Singers and other mu sicians started rehearsals last Tuesday for their performance of Handel’s “Messiah”, which will be given Sunday, December 4, in the Whitley Auditorium. Prof. Thom as Edwards will sing tenor solo. The other soloists will be announc ed later. The choir has had a very suc cessful beginning this year and Prof. Pratt feels that before the •ear is over, the choir will be the best Elon has ever had. At pres ent, there are 52 students register ed for the choir. Phipsicli Staff Launches Book Plans The first meeting of the 1939 Phipsicli staff was held Wednes day, September 21. Those pres ent were: Frank Donovan, edi tor; Louie Hubbard, business man ager; Duane Vore, Bruce Flory, and Martin Noon of the editorial staff. Plans and ideas for the annual were thoroughly discussed. The staff would like the students to be as cooperative as possible when schedules are posted for pictures to be made. It is planned to have individual pictures made of all the students. Charlie Parker has joined the staff of the yearbook since the initial meeting in September. stitching as she does about lead ing a band. Boy, if she could on ly cook! ~ by the presence of their faculty ^ supervisors. Dr. Dickenson and ' Mrs. Oma U. Johnson. Games and music followed the supper and immediately broke in to a shower of fun leaving all , breathless and wishing it had just begun when the trip back to Elon ' was mentioned. Professor Pratt, chairman of the Public Entertainment Committee of Elon, announces the following concerts on the Alamance Concert Series for the present season! Frances Hall and Rudolph Gru- en, enternationally famous duo- pianists, will appear Thursday evening Nov. 3rd. The Siberian Singers under the direction of Nicholas Vasilieff will give a concert Monday evening Nov. 21. The Chamber Opera Trio, which appeared on last year’s concert series, will return this year by popular demand. They are sche duled for Thursday, February 9. The Little Philharmonic Orch estra of Chicago, under the direc tion of George Shipiro, will ap pear sometime during the first week in April. The exact date will be announced later. The committee feels that they have arranged a splendid series of concerts, and that it will meet with the approval of the student body. Any regular student of this college is admitted free. It is desired that every student will take advantage of the opportunity of hearing these splendid artist. This series of concerts was formerly known as the Lyceum Course. Last Tuesday the first of a series of conferences for the proper ob servance of the fifteenth anniver sary of the college was held. 90 ministers were invited, and 54 at tended as guests of the college. They voted and approved of the minutes of the joint meeting of the committee of Trustees and Alumni held in Henderson in June. They approved the suggestion that a committee of 1000 be ap pointed, and two added commit- I teemen for each committeeman of the 1000 thus making 1000 commit tees ofthree each. Each committee is to be responsible for raising $150 per committeeman. Formation of the committees is to be made at once, and public appeal to be made in January of 1939 through an Elon Night to be held in every church and in all alumni associations, or wherever as many as three alumni may meet together. Ministers approved the idea of a Golden Anniversary Club for the college, one dollar for each year of the college’s existence. These meetings are to be followed by a meeting of alumni represent ing every class since 1890, from the class of 1940, and from repre sentatives of the large group of matriculated students who did not graduate. A meeting of the alumni corps is to be held tomorrow. 200 have been invited to attend church at Elon, to be guests of the college for Sunday dinner, and to attend a conference to be held at two o’clock. The object of these meetings is to celebrate the 50 years of the college’s existence, and to free the college from indebtedness. Fiftieth Anniversary Plans Under Way With Ministers’ Meeting Marcella Ackenhausen Visits Campus And Sociology Class On Wednesday, September 21, Miss Marcella Ackenhausen, class of 1937, took over Dr. Bowden's Sociology Class, and described so cial service work as she has come to know it, in her work in Cin cinnati. Since graduating from Elon, Marcella has been studying for her Masters degree at the University of Cincinnati, attend ing classes in the morning, work ing for a social service agency, and studying whenever she has the time. During her discussion, Marcel la told of the differences between the public and private agencies, the former being supported and Last Tuesday, about 50 minis ters from the Southern Conven tion of Christian Churches were the guests of the College. Some few coming from a distance ar rived Monday night. The purpose of the meeting was to help start the plans for the 50th Anniversary program, which will extend over the entire school year of 1939-40. Listening to these men diligently planning a campaign to relieve Elon of her indebtedness and to increase her student body, your scribe could not help but see that these men were intensely interested in Elon and all of her 533 students. They hope that the plans started will bring to Elon 600 regular students for the roll next year, and raise a minimum of $150,000 to help wipe out the indebtedness. They will carry this fine spirit of en thusiasm to all parts of the South ern Convention and Elon will surely be even better known over the Southeast. May we. all be loyal to the College and speak for her where- ever we go, that we also may as sist in making her 50th year a great year, her GREATEST year, handled by the state, the former being assisted by private funds and donations. Marcella is en gaged in a private agency, work- (Continued on page 4)
