DO WE NEED MORE STUDENT OFFICERS?
Last year, some investigation was made as to
the advisability of having additional officers of
the Student Body. In addition to the president,
it was suggested that there be elected a vice-
president, and a secretary-treasurer.
Recently, some consideration has been given
to this proposition. The duties of a vice-presi-
dent of the Student Body would be to assume re
sponsibility in the absence of the president, to
represent the college in some cases, and to assist
*&4wst to.visitors. on the campus. The secretary- i other state papers are kept tup-
treasurer would be in charge of all money raised ^i^rS'he’’Xfys"'*Ve°°s
To get it off the chest, we'll say
this first, waving the red flag
vigorously as we proclaim our
grievances to the world at large.
With the new parlors there’s no
use to continue using the Library
as your dating center. There’s
nothing quite so maddening as to
get all set for a long evening of
good hard study and have two
little whispering love birds come
park beside you. Between simper
ing snickers and a bit of coy con
versation, one can't, no matter
how hard he tries, get anything
out of a Psychology lesson that is
far above his head in the first
place. Mrs. Johnson has done her
best to keep the Library sacred to
STUDENTS, but it would take
two professional bouncers to k^ep
that place quie{ without a bit of
cooperation from the rest of us.
Please, if you can’t live through
the evening without your beloved,
arrange to meet her, or, if it he
'he', him somewhere else.
This ‘Open House’ idea is really
something else. Nothing will prove
a greater incentive to good house
keeping than a chance to show off
to all and sundry persons. West
Dormitory looked wonderful, girls.
The boys have taken the hint, and
we hear that the Club House and
The Carlton Arms are setting for
a big Open House of their own.
Just can't wait to see the frills on
Parky’s dressing table!
So the boys don’t have “Umph”.
Well, well, well! Maybe they have
umph, but you couldn’t see it if
they did because of their shabby
dress. Wish somebody would
start a new fangled something-or-
other: Neatly dressed Elonites.
How about you, Causey? If you'd
start, every one would follow, we
hope.
A big hand to our No. 1 Press
Agent: Mop o’ Hair Crutchfield.
He has definitely put this school
on the map, or should we be tech
nical and say paper? Seldom will
you find an edition of the Greens
boro Daily that hasn't something
from Crutchfield’s pen in it. The

by the student body, for instance that which is
collected for sending flowers, etc.
Davidson College has found this plan quite!
successful. Here, the president is elected from
the Senor Class, as at Elon.; the vice-president
is a members of the Junior class, and the secre
tary-treasurer, or the Sophomore class. In this
way, each class but the Freshman class is repre
sented, and is made to feel an added kinship and
relationship to the activities of the student body
as a whole.
It would seem that these additional officers
would help Elon, and at the same time bring a
closer feeling between members of the student
body. The MAROON AND GOLD will welcome
any comments from students in this respect. If
the attitude toward a proposition of this sort is
favoi able, steps will be taken toward bringing
about its execution. Please address all communi
cations about this plan to the MAROON AND
GOLD and place them in its mailbox in Alamance
Building, outside the business office.

Where There's Smoke
There's Fire
Have you heard the story of
the traveling salesman? It seems
that during a discussion between
a successful salesman and an im
portant buyer of a large depart
ment store, the salesman said that
whenever he approached the city
of the aforementioned department
store, he looked for smoke.
Well, well, well, according to
the last issue of the MAROON
AND GOLD, I see that we are go
ing to have an annex to the social
hall, as soon as the new dining
hall is constructed ... I know
this will be appreciated very much
by Monty Milbury and Jack
Bunch, who are doing okay with
these freshman girls. In my opin
ion they are runners up to “Ace”

CHEER LEADERS DOING GOOD WORK
A word of appreciation is due the cheer lead
ers for their fine work at the Appalachian game.
More spirit was shown at that game than has
been in evidence in some time, and it is to a large
measure due to the cheer leaders’ efforts. They
were on the job every minute, and succeeded in
arousing a lot of noise and pep, to spur our team
on to victory. To Galloway Walker, head cheer
leader, and his able assistants. Lib Armfield,
Mary Bivins, and “Shorty” Corey, go our sincere
thanks. Keep up the good work, and we’ll be right
there behind you!
ed and said, “If I see smoke pour
ing out of factories and mills I
know that men are working.
Where men are working there is
money circulating, and where
money circulates I am right there
to get some of it.”
On the same wise observation
of that salesman, couldn’t we ap
ply that principle at Elon? Pros
pective employers look for
“smoke” too. High scholastic
standing, leaders in campus acti
vities, and individual accomplish
ment in various endeavors through
out our college years pour out
“smoke” for people to look at and
take notice. The golden oppor
tunity at our disposal should be
heeded; the fire and smoke is
bound to follow. Let’s start to
burn Elon!

get into the dining room. I
think, however, if we’re to have
lunch at 12:30 one day, we should
have it at the same time the next
day and not vary the time fifteen
or thirty minutes either way with
out first making or posting an an
nouncement to that effect.
After ail, our meals compose
only a small part of our daily
activity, and we can't park near
the dining rooms at any and all
times of the day. This variation
in time has caused many of us
to be devoid of our lunch and
sometimes even dinner. We are
expected to be on classes on time,
and we try our best to do so. Is
it too much to expect that we have
our meals on time also? We don’t
believe it is, and if this maladjust
ment can be corrected, I am sure
it will be greatly appreciated by
the entire student body.
They tell us that there’s a need
for information regarding out
standing dramas, and musical pro
grams which are presented weekly
over the radio. Never lit it be
said that the MAROON AND
GOLD isn’t obliging.
Sunday seems to have some of
the leading programs. If one is
interested in a variety program,
the Magic Key hour, which comes
over the National hook-up, has
just the thing we’re looking for.
If we want swing, R. C. A. pre
sents it; if we want to hear sym
phonies, they are to be found on
the same wave of ether. Another
varied program is the Chase and
Sanborn hour at 8 o’clock Sunday
nights. This program stars such
artists as Nelson Eddy, Don
Ameche, Edgar Bergen and his
termite-infested sidekick. Those
of us are who 'interested in heavier
music may listen to the Metropoli
tan auditions which are held every
Sunday night over N. B. C. at 5
p. m. The Ford Symphony orches
tra may be heard from 9 to 10
p. m. on Sundays.
No mention has yet been made
concerning the dramas which are
presented over the radio. On
Sunday, Orsen Welles presents an
interesting program from 8 to 9
on C. B. S. This is but one of
several weekly dramatic endeav
ors of the network.
Well, Folks, this is all we have
time — and space — for now.
However, in our next edition, we’ll
give you more “dope” on what’s
to be aired.

West Dormitory Girls
Hold Open House
Affair Was First Of "A More
Attractive Elon Series."
West Dormitory held open house
on Wednesday, October 19, from
four-thirty until six. The girls
of Ladies Hall and the faculty
members were invited to attend
what turned out to be a tour of
inspection of the dormitory. Tea
was served in the faculty parlor
with Miss Julia Mae Oxford and
Miss Linda Muse officiating.
All the West Dormitory girls
worked toward making the affair
a success. Committees were chos
en to take charge of receiving the
guests, of escorting them through
second floor and third floor, and
of serving tea. Roberta Martin
was in charge of invitations, Mel
vin James headed the refreshment
committee, Catherine James sup
ervised third floor preparation,
and Christine Eaves was chairman
of the second floor committee. The
whole dormitory was appropriate
ly decorated with flowers and va
ricolored leaves.

How does the Red Cross affect
the colleges and universities of
America? That question is pertin
ent in view of the forthcoming An
nual Roll Call which, as in the
past, will be held from Armistice
Day to Thanksgiving. Stated
succinctly, in colleges and univer
sities throughout the country the
Red Cross is making it possible
for students to enjoy life more
thoroughly and is also equipping
them for their future tasks.
Students of forestry, engineer
ing and other industrial subjects
have recognized that a knowledge
of first aid is almost indispensable
to the efficient performance of
their tasks in later life.
In the field of human economics
colleges and Red Cross chapters
are cooperating in various ways.
Student dietitians are afforded ex
cellent opportunities of doing ac
tual fteld work by making studies
of food budgets and nutrition
needs of individual families that
are being assisted by the local Red
Cross chapters. Courses in sani
tation and home care of the sick
are provided by Red Cross instruc
tors. The knowledge acquired by
the students of these courses and
in this field work is proving to be
of material benefit in their later
careers as teachers or housewives.
The Red Cross offers further op
portunities to serve. In times of
great national disasters such as
the Ohio-Mississippi Valley flood
of 1937, the ranks of the volunteer
workers are swelled by represen
tatives of American colleges and
universities. Through the Red
Cross reserve lists of nutritionists
and nurses, qualified college grad
uates are afforded an opportuni
ty to serve with the country’s
forces of defense in times of na
tional emergency.
The activities and services
which the Red Cross provides are
made possible by its continued
existence as a forceful entity, in
terested in promoting human wel
fare. It accomplishes its aims by
direct action such as disaster re
lief, or by indirect action such as
instruction in the various sub
jects designed to promote safer
every day existence. The genero
sity of the American college stu
dent in both physical and finan
cial support of the Red Cross in
the past has been of great assis-
tance. During the forthcoming
Roll Call the Red Cross again ap
peals to the college and university
students to express their faith and
confidence in the organization
which since 1881 has been a friend
to the friendless, has brought a
home to the homeless, that has
fed the starving and has brought
aid and comfort to countless miK
lions of our people.
