C., under act of March 3, 1879. WHAT PRICE EDUCATION? First of all, we know we can educate ourselves, but few of us have the determination to do it. Then, since most of us have to ac quire knowledge through someone else’s teachings, we should be in terested in the cost or expenses of some of the schools in the Elon class. Thus, some of the prices of different schools will be compared. We may compare either directly or indirectly some expenses here with outside expenses of the same nature. One can attend High Point College for $400 per year, which in cludes tuition, board and room. One can be instructed at Lenoir- Ilhyne for $344. Incidentally, they have cut about $50 recently, to afford this price. Catawba will put up with a student for $430 yearly. Our neighbor, Guilford, charges $410 per year to educate and care for her students. Nothing has been said of state schools. We all know some are somewhat cheaper than privately endowed schools, for the simple reason that the state supports them; in other words, the taxpayers, our parents, contribute to t.ae support of the state schools, and at the same time pay our way through school. Something wrong there. Despite the fact that some other schools may be less expensive, iliat there may be complaints about food, heat, and anything else one may find to object to, we notice that the enrollment is steadily mounting. Ask anyone from Elon whether or not they like Elon We’re willing to wager the answer '11 be yes. We have yet to see a more friendly collegiate spirit than Elon possesses. It’s be exceed ingly difficult to find a college of Elon’s size with more different act ivities for the students to enjoy. Besides, somehow it seems that once we’ve been to Elon we al ways come back! ’ of civilization or it may mean that we are just old softies, who knows?

It seems his bud Archi- ciation of Willy S able has gone to Greensboro and he has also received a letter from Thank heaven the girls on the home saying his girl was sitting campus haven't acquired the HARVARD GETS ENDOWMENT ... SO WHAT? According to a recent comment in the “Collegiate Press Review” Harvard University has opened a new graduate school of public ad ministration, using as funds a meager gift of $2,250,000. Can it be said that this gift will make better business and profes sional men of Harvard students? It is true that the professors will be more brilliant — perhaps — than they will at a smaller, less wealthy school. But is it not true that the basis of all success lies within the man himself? If he has no desire to become great, he will remain an insignificant fig ure in life’s procession. If he does not work for his position, nobody is going to give him a boost up the ladder. What a man wants, he is going to get, and woe unto him who stands in his way. But he has to want his success. He has to want it badly enough to sacri fice for it, and take beatings for it. No matter how much he studies, no matter how intelligent his professors are, no matter how beautiful the collegiate buildings and how complete the collegiate equipment are, if he is not ready, willing, and able to work for suc cess, he’s not going to be ranked among the superlatives of the world. Welcome Students Groceries Cold Drinks Girls Say Elon Boys Don’t Have “Umph” Before we begin, let it be un derstood that our objections are aimed not at any specific offend ers, but that we’re just airing our griefs. When Elon puts on a party, works for it, and runs itself rag ged for the unappreciative sake of entertainment, the party is usual ly a success. There is, however, one aspect of Elon parties that is rather confusing and thoroughly unsatisfactory. Why in the world are most Elon boys shy of asking Elon girls for dates? -When asked this question, they say, with an in jured and sometimes violent air, “Girls don’t have to have dates at parties! Let ’em come on — we’ll show ’em a good time.” Occa sionally the girls take them up on their word. They put on their prettiest and go on. And when they get there — that’s all there is to it. Boys are lined up around the walls, looking on. Some con descend to make comments about the girls, but that’s as far as their interest goes. all alone, in the front porch sun, gazing last Sunday.

It doesn't cause much concern — except to the girls if he spends an evening holding up one side of a wall. But a girl doesn’t make such al good prop. She feels foolish, to I put it mildly, and we can’t quite j see why she should be made to feel so. With all the attractive i girls there are on the campus, it I seems that there should be more with dates. And boys, we hate to tell you, but it’s your fault that there are not! hung around the beach to much for him this Summer. Sh, Hub bard, Brinn is a swingster, too, so be careful or you are going to have competition. Beverly Congleton, East’s one and only Casanova, tried out his new steps on “Stop and Go” rhythm the other night, a step where you completely stop your body and let the legs keep going.
