SATURDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1938 Maroon and Gold PAGE THREE CAMPUS CHATTER by June Murphy and Wesley Holland This week I am more than pleased to announce that I have a co-worker. From now on she is to be a definite part of the column, I hope. Spud has shown an in terest in the paper since the be ginning of the paper. I am sure she will give time and energy to ward making the chatter portion of your diet as interesting and entertaining as possible. Let me say now that if you have any re marks other than for the better-' ment of what is trying to be done, spit ’em at me not her. i Since last week’s edition plenty rof things of note have happened. Duke took Pitt, and I hear they are going to divide Durham into eleven parts. Too bad Burling ton and Greensboro don’t feel that way about Elon. It is rather late to hand out slaps on the back for' the mem bers of the football team, but I do want to say that I think the boys did a fine job this season. Some of the boys on this year’s team are as good as can be found ..anrwhere. —... y- Winter sports are taking the spotlight soon; and that reminds us that Elon should be right up there in this coming basketball race. I saw the squad working the other day, and here are my boys: Fesmire, Whitley, and Pearce, who are old regulars, and Manzi, Gardner and Steinitz, who are the newcomers. Coach Hen drickson may not have as many headaches with this group as some expected. Joe Golombek is planning to en ter the Carolinas-Virginia Golden Glove Tournament to be held in Raleigh just before Christmas. Joe attracted quite a bit of attention last year ^y winning three tour naments. Most of the fights he won by knockouts. He started working out a couple of weeks ago, and hopes to be in good shape for the event. Now I'm not a fellaw to rave about religion because I haven't much myself, but there are a few things that I think are wrong. Some boy said to me the other day, “I wonder how many stu dents here at Elon pray”. Well, I wonder too. Outside ministerial students, do 10% of the students read the Bible regularly? I doubt it seriously. Yet the average per son on the campus would tell you that he knows the Bible fairly well. I don’t always observe the Sabbath as it should be, but un less I am sadly mistaken many others are in the same boat. I once worked for a Christian print er. That sounds like a fish story, but it is true. He didn’t allow smoking or profanity in his shop. On Sunday morning on his way to church he stopped by the office and found the linotype operator and me working on a big eight- page circular that had to be out on Monday. He came back and; said, “Boys, if we can’t make a living in six days of the week. I let’s starve together”. I have never forgotten that and I dcKi’'t work unless it is necessary. Editor Perry comes by room 28 ' East for his nightly jolt. He is fastly losing his screwy idea that sweet music is the thing. Who wouldn’t after hearing records viath titles like these: Every Tub, Milk Cow Blues: Mama Don-’'t: Want No Peas; and Eice Coconut Oil: Sing, Sing Sing; Texas Tea Party; and a few others. j This campus is soon going to re-' semble Carolina Beach with all of these loud autographed shirts star-1 ing you in the face. Of course a campus and a beach are alike in ^ many ways. 'With the machine. concessions and a few other fix- ti.ires around, the only difference that I can make out is that there are no waves—of the right type. The campus is for winter, arid the beach for summer. They both cost. ' j The local papers carried an ar ticle recently that revealed State College’s intention of installing a complete printing plant. Here is a secret for you. State decided to make this move after finding out about Elon’s success with their experiment. Does that sound I reasonable? I HOLIDAY SUGGESTION: . / Christmas is for celebration^ of Christ’s birthday; not suicide i wrecks, accidents, and slaughter ! in general. Do your part. You’ll have reason to say, “Peace on earth, good will toward men”. Radio Brings Varied Entertainment To Dial-Turners The Metropolitan Opera made its annual debut over the radio some weeks ago with an old opera written by one of the earliest opera composers. “Orfeo et Euri- I dice” was the name of the work, composed by Cluck. Each week an opera is broadcast from this great opera house. Today, Satur day, we are to hear a very fan tastic opera by Richard Wagner, “Die Walkure”. One may listen to these programs over the N.B.C. at 1:45 p. m. We say that variety is the spice of life. If this be true there is a rather good program which comes on early in the morning over WBT. This is the alarm-clock program at 6:30 a. m. I merely m.ake meation of this so that those who are awake at so early an hour miy listen to it if they so desire. The Lux Theater comes over the C.B.S. every Monday nigbt at 9:00. Those interested in drama should not miss the opportunity to hear this program. For those of us who once listen ed to Joe Penner regularly, we have some thing to announce con cerning this comedian. We had wondered if he was stiH on the air since he used to come over on Sunday nights. He may be heard on C.B.S., Thursday nights at 7:30, I “The wheel of fortune spins, around, around she goes, and where she stops nobody knows”. Folks does that remind you of anything? Tes . . . Major Bowes and his amateur hour. There’s a decided variety program here. It cwmes on at 9:00 p. m. C. B. S. To those who love poetry there is a program called Poetic Strings, which we heartily recommend. This is a combination of the read ing of poems with the playing of music. This is an illustration of the close relationship which poe try has with music. Personality Chats . Fake Up Questiorus^of Manners andr^nduct Well boys, it doesn’t seem that you are very much interested in what your girl friends are going to wear for the coming season. Whether you know it or not. Dean Oxford gave a talk on girls’ fash ions Wednesday night, November 30, and quite a few girls showed up; but the boys were shy, or something, and preferred not to venture forth. However, there were a few boys there, and we hope they gained some valuable information. Table manners were discussed at the last meeting, and the num ber of boys increased, as well as trie girls. Let us hope for im provement in dining-hall man ners in the future. Don’t forget, boys, these meet ings are for both sexes, the prob lems to be discussed on equal basis; and maybe some improve ments can be made. B. O. B.’s Entertain At Saturday Night Party Co-ed: “Honey, you should see me swim; I can float like a cake of ivory soap.” Joe College: “Yeah, but Ivory soap floats because it’s pure.” Iris Shepherd And Bill Fonville Feted At Burlington Party A delightful party was given' rn the American Legion Hut, Bur lington. on the evening of Decem ber 2. in honor of Miss Iris Shep herd and Bill Fonville. whose en gagement was announced recent ly- A large number of Elon stu dents took advantage of the in vitation to attend the party. Mu sic was furnished by a nicklode- on;; refreshments were served at 11 o’clock. To Miss Shepherd and Mr. Fon ville go the best wishes of the Elon students, and many thanks for a fine evening of fun and frolic. Last Saturday afteroobn, some bod.v mentioned the fact that the Y. W. would be open for games and general socializing that night. Everybody thought that it would be just another Saturday night with not much to do but sit around and maybe play some Chinese checkers and bridge. But came the night, and folks started going over to the Y. W. By eight o’clock there was a crowd there. The Beta Omicron Beta Sorority had taken the situation well in hand. They’d decorated ’.ne room with ivy. ferns, and can dles. They’d set up a huge Christmas tree and decorated it. Red and green rope* hung between the ceiling lights, and the stage was bedecked with candelabra and soirority and fraternity pennants, with the center of the stage amply filled by Sir Nicklodeon. The sorority rooms were open for games. Punch and cakes were sei ved by the B. O. B. girls. To them — Thanks for one of the best informal parties of the year! Ministerial Students I Discuss Meaning 'Of Christmas I Last Monday the Ministerial As sociation was conducted by Jimmy McDade. The subject which he chose was “What Christmas Means to the Christian with the Aid of the minister.” “First of all,” Mc Dade said, “Christmas should be a period at which one may exer cise the spirit of giving. Second, it should be a period of helping others to be happy. It must also be a period of realization of the Great Gift and what that Gift means to the world. One should rejoice with exceeding great joy.” After the brief but interesting talk the floor was open for dis cussion. Each individual gave a few words concerning the mean ing of Christmas to them. One of the most impressive con tributions was made by Dr. Bow den. Dr. Bowden stressed the point that Christmas has become extremely commercialized, and for this reason many have lost the real meaning of Christmas to the Christian.

TJJAILER ^1 & For Lost, Strayed ^ Or Stolen Silverware / See North Dorm . / Wally Fonville and a co\g(fed man, recruited from Miss White’s staff, made a tour of North Dor mitory collecting ‘borrowed” glasses and silverware. It seems that whenever the eating utensils disappear noticeably, the most logical conclusion drawn is that North Dormitory students are partly responsible. From a look at the array Wally collected, this conclusion is well founded. CHRISTMAS GIFTS AND CARDS by June Lealh A hand to Prof. Hook for the excellent showing of “Stage Door”. The subtle (or not so subtle in spots) humor of the picture was not interrupted by machine trou ble. You freshmen can’t appreci ate this as we uppers do: you should have been here when we had a virtual intermission between reels. Just like college. This weekend we bring you the cream of the crop, “Alexander’s Ragtime Band,’’ featuring Alice Faye, Don Ameche, and Tyrone Power (alias Wellington Saecker). The snappy tunes will keep you whistling for a week, and the fast- moving action will give you a bit of pep. A good show to have as our last movie of the year. And our last gripe of the year: We strongly resent having the Mounties as a background for Shirley Temple, she of the gooey smile. Imagine those huskies as sociating with such a sissy! So long for this year, and best wishes for a full run of four-star productions next year. WE WERE VISITING THE cApTAINON HIS SHIP, AND YOU THREW HIS TOBACCO TIN 0VER30ARP.

Of course at this time of year the little pests always start looking for a place to hole-out and weVe come to accept this as m.atter-of- fact. But this year it’s different; every time we tried to kill a fly, two more seemed to take its place. Why? Well, that puzzled us too for a while, but we soon found out Jimmy L. Parker has been breeding the consarned things in Biology Lab. Can you imagine a feller having such a hobby? My, my! It sure takes all kinds of pieople to make a world. Ac cording to our own statisticians, Jimmy and Jack Neese, after the first ten days the new flies start breeding at a rate of about six or seven an hour. So, if you swat at and miss a couple of them they’ll be right back in ten days with 63,856,562,278,600 (you count rrlativps to drive you nuts.
