We now know what can haptx'n w'heii s'h(X)l sjiirit ,'rets on the lixise. The n'snlts are sure worth the little energy we put out, and we get a lot of fun out of it too. Now come on, the n'st of you who haven’t ca;i"ht on. and "’et oti the wasron, and kec)) thinas roUin" We still have some more a:ames to play you know'. The team needs voU and vour sujiport. I.et’s I’^et Ix'hind them and imsh. ^lost of us are doinr it: now- h't’s all do it as a bodv, and show them what can reallv be done at Elon. 'I'lie spirit that has been shovn at recent )X'7J rallvs and at the last two games has Ix'en much improvi'd from the spirit shown at the Ix'trinning of the vear. I’lit then' is still rixmi for iniprove- ment. If vou will continue to have the sjiirit that you showed at the pep meetina: befon' the Jviui; game on Thursday niirlit, wi' vjll all have the riirlit to I>e tiroud at the end of the season for we can feel that we have aided in helping our team go through undefc'ated within the confereni'e A Supiiorter Do you think that the boys and girls on a col lege campus should go “Dutch” Minnie Belle Fr;\'e: I think that boys and girls should go “Dutch”, because we are all here for the same purpose, which is going to school and v>'e all have approximately the same income Jiefty Bell: Ves, 1 think boys and girls should “Dutch”. As a rule boys don’t have much more money than girls and turn about is fair play. Ifary Hill Byrd: Ves they should “Dutch". If the bqvs are in my position they are always nearly broke and can not affoi’d to spend too inucii money. Becky Griffin: Everyone in college should go ‘“Dutch", 1 pity the. poor boys w-ho have to foot the bills. Lfiuis Adair; Ves going “Dutch’’, is a phrase which refers to something which has never been put into practice, or even jnit to a test. The boys fail to mention it for fear the girls will be insuit ed, and the girls never mention it for fear of mak ing the bovs feel cheai). Therefore it seems to me now' that most agree that it is a gooil plan, that the girls should issue a ))roclamation with signi- tures-of every girl statina: tliai: they refuse to go- other than “Dutch” and stick by their game. I’m confident that this method would increase the number of tho.se couples dating and be greatly a]>- pn'ciated by the boys, .Icx' Stevens: If it takes “Dutehing it” to make an evening a success I believe that it is a goixl fhint', providing that there has been a com- iilete unik'i'standing between the boys and the girls. On a campus where everybody lives on an allowance (maybe) it is a good thing. Helen Varborough: I certainly think tlie boys and girls should have dutch dates in most cases, the boys .don’t have any more money to spend than the girls and their expenses would be cut in half by dutch dating. After all we want to be an asset to our dates not a great expense. Marjoi'ie Hunter; A ])retty good idea because the girls have as much money as the boys have. But why ask me Edna Barrier: I used to tak(' my boy friend once in a v.-hile when I could find one. Bernie Daher; After all the boy’s money is gone then the girls still have theirs. They are both on the same paying basis ... I' Ix'lieve in it . . . but don’t print that! Ray Kern and Betty Polder; There is a time and a )ilace for ev’erything. All the time and any place. * June .ifurphv: (Oftentimes the boy is fiiian- “cially embarrassed and I think that it is a good idea.
