Elon Wins Honey
Loses Toughie
It was Guilford College 63 Elon 57
in a fine game at Guilford and a few
days later it was Elon 53 High
Point 48 in an upset. These two
game? were both good ones to watch
and the result in each case, was in
doubt all the ‘way. Billy Hopkins and
Leo Kampman led the scoring in the
Guilford game, while the High Point
battle was definitely a team win.
Elon is not a team of individual stars
and . in these two encounters work
ed as a unit throuhout. Jack
was the ,big thorn in the Christians’
side in the loss to the Quakers as
he tossed in 21 points. George Ralls
also starred in the win. Ralls is
man seen in collegiate ball this year.
Elkins’ shot however is a hook, and
it is doubtful if he will be able to
i score much on the Elon court in the
' return game between the two teams
on February 21st. IVliany great hook
shot artists have found the Elon
I court their nemisis. The High Point
I game however was the real thriller
that had the crowd on the edge of
their seats. Big Mike Moran hit for
j 14 points for the losers and had the
High Point team not more or less
froze him, he might have scored more.
! The Elon club did a brilliant job o‘
! guarding throughout the game and
Sheets and Henry failed to impress
for High Point.
Typing Stucents Work Hard

Shown above is one of the
advanced typewriting laboratories at
Elon College, N. C. The photograph
gives some indication oi the activjty
on the third floor of Alamance
Building, where almost forty young
men and women are working toward
the One-year Certificate in secre
tarial and clerical work.
, It is particularly ineresting to note
that in the Certificate work the
students proceed somewhat upon
their own speed levels according to
the contract method of studying. For
instance, a small group of women are
now doing Dictaphone transcription.

Another grouip of five students are
wwking off internships in offices on
tWe campus. Others are transcribing
and criticizing their transcritions of
sight dictation. There is a class in
office management, where actual
problems are discussed and worked
out. Emphasis is laid on speech,
ethics, manners and dress.
The professional staff is working
tow'ard the counseling of students
regarding job fitness; toward placing
students in jobs effective with May
Commencement; and toward a close
affiliation with the local USES office.
The student group has been tested
for job efficiency through the medium
of standard achievement and manual
dexterity tests.
An outgrowth of the desire of the
Business Administration Department
to encourage the fraternity of these
clerical and secretarial science stu
dents with those taking the regular
I four-year Business Administration
i courses is the Comerce Club, which
^ organized and activated shortly
! before the winter holidays.
■ It appears that on Comencement
Day next, more than two dozen of
these hard-working young people will
I claim their coveted Certificates; and
that many of them will walk happily
into the jobs waiting for them . . .
jobs for which they were personally
selected and trained.
Dr. George A. H. Johnson is chair
man of the Business Administration
Department.
New classes in Business Adanini-
stration will be formed next month
with the beginning of the ^ring
quarter. Registration of new students
will be March 8.

Day Student
Doodlings
By mi MOSS
I started out to do a column
about the day students activities, but
aftei- checking over my items I came
up with the following conclusions:
1- All the news I have is so un
interesting or so old that it’s not
news any longer;'or-’
2- The really interesting items I
have can’t be printed because they
would only cause harsh Words and
unkind thoughts to be directed to
ward me.
So—there’s no percentage in losing
friends just for the sake of writing
a couple of sticks of gossip for ttiv
M. & G. Instead I'm going to extem
porize a bit and the reader can take
ipot luck. This is fair warning. You
read further at your own risk of being
bored.
All set? O. K. light a fag, put on
your reading glasses (for the fine
print) an follow as I make like Paul
Gallico, in an amateurish sort of way.
Here’s an idea that might be worth
millions, or at least a few hundred
grand if someone will exploit it. You
know, nowadays yoti can put a coin
in a slot and get most-anything from
a machine. Among' the iteins that
are vended from the mechanical
salesman are cola drinks;, fi uit juices. ,
soup, coffee, shoe shines handker-.
chiefs, combs and toothbrushes, music-
radio reception, telivision, and (jandy
to name a few.
My idea, which I gladly give tp/
anyone who wants to work it out, will'
be a boon to suffering humanity. It
will be hailed by lovers. Business
men will praise it. And it is all yours
free of charge.
Here is the. whole thing summed
up briefly. Why not have some sort
of arrangenjent whereby patrons of
bars, night club's, etc, could insert
a quarter ; io a machine anti get
several whiffs of .caw oxygeii.' It’s
amazing how it will rejuvenate a
person feeling a .hit' under ; .'the
weather (or table:). (What are you
laughing at, have you tried jt?)
Science has proven that bottled oxy
gen is an excellent remedy for over-
indulgence. Just think what it would
to dp the divorce rate alone. Why
it would cut it in. half. ,
Wait, that’s rot
orchestra is playing
Wedding”. You’re sitting in a booth
talking to your true love. Yoii really
want to sell her a bill of goods. What
do you? You set the dial in the wall
cabinet to “apple blossom” scent and
vou get a whiff of ajople blossoms to
match the mood .^et by the music.
That’s all brother, that’s all. Then
you just say. when and before you
know it she’s your for keeps.,
Another use to which the invention
may be put could be utilized success
fully by business men. Suppose a big
industrialist is working on a deal and
has to entertain, solme out-of-town
guests. The clinging perfume which
the' o. o. t. g. wears will give him
away when he goes home. What doe
bp do? He selects scent “B. M No. 5”
which is a blend of stale cigar smoke,
burnt matches, carbon paper and ink,
with just a dash of fresh clean air
and wet pavement after a rain Whon
he gets home he tells the wife he’s
been in conference and unless the
1. w. has completely lost the use of
her olefactory sense, she’ll know he’s
telling the truth.
Well there it Jnct i-'o-’- '■
fpn- minor details and get the whole
thing patented. Postentv
your name in the annals of time if
you succeed in perfecting the
vendor. Thousands, perhaps millions
will thank you for your service to
mankind. A small outlay of 850
thousand will start you in business.
I ask just one thing of the person
who succeeds in patenting such a
device as I have described. I want
dealers rights, in New York, Chicago!

MiiSic suffered with a pathological
uncertainty, as Mr. Paskins would
say, since our last issue. While we
were humming “Four Leaf Clover”',
bailds can no longer record according
to ' Senor, Petrillo’s order and the
recttrding companies have issue(f‘
little of merit. Of course wedid'hiav€^
'visits from two ' of the country’s
leading bands and Eloi kudents made
the trip to Danville, Greensboro arid
TRaleighto vvitness the imp'roving .Qene
Krupa band and Claude Thornhill
.paid Burlington itself a visit. Colum
bia released a couple by Woody
Herman’s band, one “I Told You I
■ Loved” hot sensational but ehjoyaWe
and .another “Saber Dance’^- which
merits an ‘A’ in this corner. Morales
■ has turned out a “Jingle Phantasy”.
[ which is the most unusual record
! of the decade, but is hard to get on
I a Rainbow label. Stan Keri'fon keeps
working away with a prtty piece of
originality called “Impressionism”,
I but his “Artistry In Percussion”
I which came out some months ago
is still his best. Duke Ellington has
released “Diminuendo In Blue” on
Mlajestic bile Charlie Barnett, Count
Basie and Harry James have a lot
of new things on the market. Num
erous of the crooners have dreary

bobby-soxers and he musical unin-
telligencia, some of them nice to
listen to —so!me not .
Plug of the week goes to Ray Mc
Kinley who is currently is the hottest
thing on the show circuit. His record
ings of “Sandstorm, “Hangover
Square”, “Borderline,” and “Tumble-
bug” are originality at its best and
are a must. They are on Majestic
along with a goodly number of
McKinley ballads and novelties. Sweet
Hot or Unusual, McKinley always
turns out a good job.
M & G Insfdtls
New Policy
Getting behind the one sport that
needs pushing on the Elon Campus,
the iVTaroon and Gold Sports Staff
is^ going to “push” softball, Although
basebair will deservedly continue to
merit the largest portions of our
spring editions, softball is going to
get a greater amount of space than
ever before. Intramjjral Softball box
scores yill be published as well as
all baseball games... The Elon 'Vets
softball team of three years standing
inay not >play this year, in order not
to conflict with the intramural soft
ball program, It is-hoped that Coach
Pierce or GaHsey, which.-ever runs the
intramural setup this spring ,will
arrange full schedules, fpr each team,
and each club hopes to play at least
two games a week. “The Sportsman’s
Club” an outgrowth of Omega Beta
which was banned by the faculty,
will play regular Saturday afternoon
softball ‘games at the Elon High
School field. •
Although softball is the little
knovra sport here at Elon, actually it
has given Elon greater publicity than
any other event. In the summer of
1946, the Elon 'Vets Club softball
team played over 100 games and made
a tour of the eastern part of the
country playing in 'Virginia, Mary
land, New Jersey, New York, Con-
neticut and New England as well
as the Old North State. Under the
leadreship of A1 Burlingame, the
team received nation-wide publicity.
Burlingame is now a student at
Indiana University, the winner of the 1
Ernie Pyle scholarship. Several
members of the team are still in
school however.
