SATURDAY, MARCH 4, 1939 Maroon and Gold PAGE THREE CAMPUS CHATTER By Wesley Holland and June Murphy Being sick at Elon is the one thing that I hate. Put me on the bum in Norfolk: leave me without a paddle in the middle of Neuse River: put me on the dry kill to rot in the wilds of Onslow Coun ty, but, oh Lawd, don’t let me get sick at Elon College. I have been down with the flu and if the column smells like a trip through the Vick’s Salve plant, please pardon the menthol. Captain Ike Fesmire came in the room the other night, and the talk naturally drifted to basketball and the past season. He seemed very well pleased, and everyone else should be. The team won 19 out of 25 games. Hey, Gardner, what is all this talk about a fair dam sel crying for you. That W. C. T. C. gal didn’t want to lose you boy. I’ll bet her ambition is to have three dates. All you gotta do is Nat’l. Ed. Meeting In Detroit Attended By Collins and Beecher Encounter Sub-Zero Weather From all reports, Dr. Collins and Prof. Beecher had a chilly time on their recent visit to Detroit. The two Elon professors spent last week attending the sessions of the National Progressive Education Association. While enjoying the sessions of the association they found it difficult to withstand the zero and sub-zero weather, having been accustomed to the warmer dimes of the “sunny” southland. While at Detroit, Dr. Collins and Prof. Beecher talked extensively with Dr. W. Carson Ryan, pre.si- dent of the National Progressive Education Association and a member of the Carnegie Founda tion. Dr. Ryan was a visitor on our campus last fall.

Why did some students think thing new? Marx and Debs started that stuff years ago. The socialist Bible contains every word that Page spoke while here concerning socialism. Don’t mis understand me. He is a deep thought concerning them. Most of us figure — there they are, so what! On such a subject nothing has been definitely prov ed, so none of us can be severely criticized for our beliefs. Maybe there is life of some kind on the other planets. Probably man ex ists there, and has contacted us without knowing it. Who knows? We do have to consider that the society hall.

The program consisted of a mock constitution artistically ar ranged and worded to furnish the assembly with plenty of fun and spice. The constitution was read by Dwight Gentry and was proper ly explained and filed by the clerk of the court, Henry Wise. After the constitution had been read, the floor was opened for amendments and discussion of the articles contained in the constitu tion.

When he was fully awake he sighed in relief to find out that it was Emo’s leg he was scratching. Archie was interviewed by a mountain cattle buyer last week who was interested in buying some of his cattle. Archie told the man that he was sorry but all his cattle had legs which were the same size and length, and they wouldn’t be able to adapt them selves to the mountains, because he had always heard that the ani mals in the mountains had two legs that were shorter than the Plan Your Trip Home BY BUS And Get There SOONER AND SAFELY N.
