For example, over in Cireensboro the other Saturday nite one of the Frat boys started into the hotel with his ‘ Uraf? when he was confronted by a ywr- 1, r who with a jfleam in his eye iisked, “Carry your bap:, mister : lJut our Elon intclh'ct, who s sc.

INQUIRING REPORTER :Much has been heard recently ^ of Klon’s part in our nation s wai- effort. In an effort to ascertain if Klon students were doing their utmost for national defense, a cross-section of the campus dwel lers were asked the follownng ,,uestions. “1)0 you think that the Klon students are doing all they can' to aid in the war effort. What more could they do What arc .you doing i .liinmic Lightbourue: There art innumerable activities in which Klon students can make detniite -ontributions to the war effort It would seem that we have left manv untouched, yet our ma.i«r resiK)nsibility must be satisfactory completion of our college work. Karl Danieley; Klon students are U-ginning to realize the great icsi>onsibilitv that now rests U))- oii Americans. 'I'he mam ,i-b that 1 see now for Klon men and wo men is to help convince other peo- |ili> of our task and to help them take the tluties and burdens more carefully. Hilda Kirkman; Yes I think thev are doing their share. Mildred .leffries; No I don t think that cv.u:v student is doing all he can to win this war. 1 er- ha))s it is because we have ii'> ful Iv realized that we are in war. 1 am going to strive to buy mor» defense stamps and to deiiosit waste paper i4c., where it can he eol h'cte.1.. 1 think this IS my ut most. , , , • 1 Martin (irisscim: I do not tliink Klon stndi'iits are iloing all they can to win this war. They are, however, taking many good steps; selling defense stamps, 'ottering free farm labor and establishing a -iM.d morale. These are good and 1 am l«'liii^d them. , iJov .Mansfield: No. 1 don t. think that we as students fully realize the importance, that our limit.'d aid will do. We agree to the utmost with- the numerous si.eakers, who tell us that our na tion is in great peril and that something should be d.Mie about it, but when the ti]ne comes to ac tual Iv do something, we are to he Voiunl soiucwhcrt* elst*. I think should demand and support an oinaiiization that will furnish us with something concrete to do as indivi.lnals. Onlv by self sacn- fic... such as.this. wil 1 we U' ma.le lo t'l el that thi> is reallv our war. j.ouis Adair; .No, not onlv are thev not (loiui; all, thev are ac tual Iv 1‘othing that calls for srlf-sacrifice. What tliev can a,, is to demand that a program he instituted which will offer them a chance to do things which really art’ N'ltal to detensi*. ^ Uichard Weldon: 1 think we have the right attitude toward the war, bjit that we fail to carrv forth the things which we twl we could do. Our main contribution would be to be'ome a little inore serious, and put aside the "Live tolav, for tomorrow we may die,” attitude. , i * I.illian Dyer; Lion students are doing a great deal toward winning the war, through conser vation, and through achieving as_ much education as jiossible, so as to efiui]) themselves to do a l>etter iob of it, when they have finished school. There is a great deal more that can be done, and 1 be lieve that Klon students are de sperately interested in such a program, and are l>eginning to do a lot toward reaching that ulti mate goal; “Winning The \N ar . .lames Klilcr: No, we are pot. | We as a whole are still asleep. There are a few who are doing more than their part but there should be more. I, myself am not doing all I coul.l by any means 1 have not yet felt the pinch oi sacrifice. We must feel that w*- fore wi can say we are doing our all. . , . , (jeorge Bullard; I don t think that they are doing all that they can, but they are doing as much as could be expected. Kenneth Utt; I think enough movements are in progress now to take care of the situation. 1 he I (Jonimittees are doing a fiiw lob. ' Angie Henry: At the first of the year I was a little worried about the situation, but I m glad to see that things have started to show life. -r 1 -..I- Edna Barrier; I don t think I that they are. dust a selective few are really working. Yock ]\[alloy; No, T ^mk that more should take the C. i. ■ course. The frovernment needs fliers ^ Louis .Vgresta; As far as help ing the war effort, Elon is doing fairlv well, but could do more, and J believe they are more tliaii willing to do so.
