CIVILIZATION OR BARBARISM
Civilization does ■well impart
A sense of values, a respectful heart.
Barbarism, in a true contrast.
Does pUlage, destroy, and extensively blast.
U\RIN
Evid,ently, some of our students are in
sanely affected by the spirit of hobgoblins and
mobs. Also, if conclusions may be drawn tron
recent occurrences, there prevails a S^^at deal ol
primitive barbarism on our campus. Many ot us
were appalled at its childish, untutored elements
certain students must be at fault.
Individuals who consider themselves a
civilized human being in a civilized society ^louid
acquired the characteristics of a civilized being.
We consider this a civilized society, at least tc
the extent that we. know what occurred the othei
night is absolutely unnecessary and destructive.
Those who took part in the dirty work should al
so come to this realization.
Even in a democracy, individual rights ano
freedom are limited. When individual freedom
and individual rights begin to impair the free
dom, rights, and convenience of others, then de
mocratic freedom begins to slide and should bc
curbed as quickly as possible. Too much freedom
leads to no freedom at all. , . v
What right had these “hobgoblins” to crush
furniture, arouse the students, and raise a sen-
eral disturbance? Maybe, if the disturbed stu^
dents would do a little personal work forming
stiff opposition against such action the othei
rebellious students could be whipped into con-
formity.^^^ action as was shown on Halloween bv
students who knowingly and willingly commitiec
these offenses, only reflects their lacic of an innei
sens-^ of values and respect, and, more broadly,
the essence of their earlier guidance and train-

ELON BOOK STORE
When a school grows the com
munity grows with it or anyway
Elon seems to be doing that way.
Elon, this year, is larger than ever
before and response the town
has begun to expand in business
although much of this can be at
tributed to the new prosperity all
^ over the country. Just last Mon
day an addition has been made to
Elen’s six enterprises and now
the grand total moves up to sev
en. The long dismal-looking front
across from the campus has begun
to liven up and no longer looks
like a ten-cent billboard.
The proprietor is Mr. L. J.
Whitesell aided by the comely pro
prietress, his daughter, Miss Naomi
Whitesell. "
In referring to his new stores,
last week, was still duped at try
ing to find a name for his estab
lishment so he conceived the idea
of having it named by a contest.
Whenever you students go in just
tell him your name for the place
and if its considered best you get
$1.00 in anything you want to eat.
You can get your money’s worth
in groceries, hamburgers or any-
