FRIDAY, NOVEMBER IS, 1923 I On account of the space taken up— at the last minute—for the subscrip tion campaign, we are crowded for space this week. HAZING AT WAKE FOREST Hazing in our colleges is not so frequent or severe as it was a few years ago. Now it is confined larg ly to guying the fresh Freshmen and occasiona'ly one’s hair is cut. We urd "stand that three boys were sus pe f d from Wake Forest lately sor 1 cutung hair. It is an old saying that young men ' will sow their wild oats and the boys 1 will have their fun. Often a Fresh man feels he must live up to his name j and “get fresh” by calling upon some young woman, or painting his class numerals high where all who run may J read. The sophomores likewise feel they must live up to their name as wise foels, and so they play the Ku Klux and disguised by mask or night, they proceed to mutilate their under class-man for his breach of sopho more etiquitte. Joshing, guying, whistling or trot- ! ting a “newish” is a harmless sort of hazing, but when one’s person is 1 mutil: ted in such away as to shame or make ridiculous in the eyes of i others, we believe it should not be done. Most of our colleges are now' run by Student Government. The stu dents themselves formulate a set of rules or regulations for the student body, and the Freshman has special i consideration in these. When one or: more takes it in hand to independent ly administer justice, immediately the principle of mob law supercedes the higher law of student government and the perpetrators become themselves law breakers without personal provo cation. It is only just and even nec essary, that such should be summarily punished according to the outlined regulations as adopted by the student body for it’s government. We sympathize with the young men J I who were suspended from Wake For est, but think they will see, after due i reflection, that their punishment is not only proper, but was necessary for the future welfare of the whole student body and the college general ly. Wherever there is a higher law j either of God or man, in State or \ college, r.o man has the right to be- j come a “law unto himself” until the higher law has broken completely down and failed wholly to function for the common good. Then would otherwise be a rebellion of traitors, because a revolution of patriots. The lack of a due respect for pa rental discipline in the home, regula tions in our institutions of learning, laws in our State, is showing its effects in the crime wave that has been sweeping our country for some time. Let us obey the law every where. CHILDREN’S WEEK We understand that this week is Children’s Week. By special request pastor Davis will preach a special sermon at the Baptist church Sun day morning to the parents on the Relation of the Child to the Home, the church and the school. All the fathers and mothers of the communi ty are especially invited to bring their children to this service. The evening service will be at 7 o’clock. The subject wil be Eating a 'Book. The public is invited to this service.

S., $1.50 Per Year In The ZEBULON RECORD Circulation Campaign GOOD FOR 100 VOTES If turned in to the Campaign Manager on or before December 5 Name _ , '. *, V Address Must be neatly trimmed and tied together— Do Not Roll ENTER YOUR NAMfe TODAY THE PLAN IN BRIEF The object of this distribution is two-fold—. primarily to increase the subscription lists of The Zebulon Record and advance subscription payments from present or old subscribers, and at the ssme time to afford our friends and readers an unparralleled opportunity to profit, and in a b g way through their spare time during the next few weeks. So, it is a plan that works both ways, and to the ultimate good of us all con cerned. In order to gain this end quickly and ad vantageously, the most valuable and attractive list of prizes ever offered by a local newspaper in this section of the country has been made ? ready for distribution among those who partici pate most heartedly. Amb.tion and energy are - the only requisites for success. The plan adopted is the fairest and most im . partial conceivable. There will be no “double vote” offers, extra votes given or any other in ducement whatever inauguarted during this com petition. Neither will there be any long term sub scr.ptions accepted. The plan of the campaign is straight-forward and simple and is fully out lined in this announcement. ; Let it be fully understood at the very outset ; that this is not a “beauty” nor “popularity” con test, but a strictly legitimate competitive prop osition for enterprising men and women and boys I and girls, and one in which no element of chanco . enters. One feature of this competition is the - fact that *bere will be no losers in this race. I HG,» TO ENTER THE ELECTION The first step in order to become a candidate and compete for a prize is to clip the nomination , coupon appearing in this issue; fill in your name - and address and mail or deliver to the campaign ■ department of The Zebulon Record, Zebulon, N. C. This coupon entitles you or the person whom . you might nominate to 5,000 FREE votes. These votes are given you are a starter, and to speed ‘ you on your way to win. Or.ly one such nomi nation coupon wil be accepted for each candidate. HOW VOTES ARE SECURED The next step is to call on or write the cam paign department for a free working outfit, con sisting of a special receipt book, sample copies of the paper and other information relative to launching an active campaign. Thus equipped, you have but to go to your friends, neighbors, relatives and acquaintances and have them clip all the free coupons from their papers or pay a subscription to The Zebu lon Record through you. THAT’S ALL THERE IS TO IT. However, you will never win any thing unless you make the start; and while it will not be a very d fficult matter to capture one of the big prizes, nevertheless, you should start at or.ce. You must plan out your campaign the same as any successful business man plans out his work for a season, and, above everything else, let no one discourage you, but stick to the finish. Anything v/orth having is worth striv ing for. A few short weeks and you may be r.ding in yo*ir own automobile. It takes votes to win and votes are secured in two ways: First, by clipping coupons appearing in each issue of The Zebulon Record. Begin by gathering them now. After next week these coupons will be reduced to a lesser number of votes. The only restriction placed on coupons is that they must be deposited at the compaign de partment of The Zebulon Record on or before the expiration date printed thereon. Get your friends to saving these coupons—they all count. The other and faster way to get votes is by se curing new and renewal subscriptions to The Zebulon Record. On each subscription turned in, a certain number of votes are issued, the number vary.ng acording to the amount paid and during which “period” same are received at the cam paign department (see schedule for votes else where). So, you see, the more subscriptions you secure the more votes you can get and the bet ter your chances are to capture the grand cap ital prize. EARLY START MEANS EARLY FINISH The advantages of an early start are manifest. Not only do you have the FULL SIX WEEKS in which to secure the winning votes, but now and put to and including Saturday December 5, you will receive the maxium schedule of votes on subscriptions, while those who put off enter ing until a later date will have to take what is left. Don’t lose valuable time wating to “see what the other fellow is going to do,” but pitch right in and show the “other fellow” how to do it. ADVISORY BOARD -—lt is the sincere aim of this newspaper to con duce this election, from start to finish, in a fair, honorable and impartial manner. Every pre caution has been taken to safeguard the interest of the participants, and absolute honesty in all dealing is guaranteed. However, not all wisdom lies with any one man or institution and for that reason an Ad visory Board has been decided upon, whose func tions shall be to decide any questions of suffi cient moment that might happen to arise during the competition and from whch a committee shall be selected ta act as judges and count the votes the last night of the election. The per sonnel of the board is as follows: Messrs. E. C. Daniels, M. J. Sexton, L. L. Mas sey, F. E. Bunn, L. M. Gold, Rev Theo. B. Davis, of Zebulon; Rev. A. A. Pippin, of Wakefield, J. 11.
