PAGE FOUR : -#w MAROON AND GOLD SATURDAY. DECEMBER 8, 1945 Famous Flying Safety Five Bows To Elon; Play Here Tonight Score half time 16-18; final score 35-31 with Elon pulling up to tie and | then win in the final minutes of play, this was a game for the book: good to watch and good to play in. Sports manship was generally good through out, although a bit rough in spots. The Flying Safety five from Win- ston-Salem-transport command com posed of old stars, is a tough outfit to beat. A field goal b,( Ro'neJ Cates '/d two free throws by Joe Gol- ombek provided the winning • mar gin. Don Kernodle, lanky freshman for ward playing in his second game for the Christians, led the attack on the Flyers with five field goals and )ne foul for a total of eleven points. Cates and Golombek were strong on lefense and came through with some timely shots. Rutnoski of Winston-Salem was high scorer of the evening with fif teen points. The Flyers’ man-to-man defense was hard to penetrate, but Elon finalV solved it. Coach Adcox employed a varied attack and switched from zone to man-to-man defense at the middle of the first half. Our cagers held the pace by alternating teams on the court and substituting frequently. Outplayed in the first three quarters the Christians held on grimly and finally won out on fight and determination. Anderson and Taylor played a scrap py game and their floor work and recoveries helped to Jceep the first string in the running. Harris, Mul- j ford. King, Castura, Thompson, and | Watkins spelled the first five when , needed. These men are all promis- j ^ ing candidates and will see action as the season gets underway in the con ference. The Winston team will play a return engagement here tonight. Game is called at 8 o’clock.

R'Sargaret Rawls, Delta U: “Yeah! They’re half the fun of the sorority— they make politics more interesting— also they mean more parties and ban quets.” Lem Allen, Sophomore: “I think it would be a good thing. College life is sort of centered around fraternities— also they’ll help bring the boys closer together.” Ed Mulford, Veteran: “No, although I belong to a fraternity I think they are undemocratic in principle.” Jimmy Westmoreland, Day Student, Senate Member: "Sure! They add a lot to college life.” Bill Claytor, Sigma Phi, Veteran: "Definitely, unlike larger schools an Elon fraternity doesn’t isolate, nor encourage isolation of its members from the other students. It creates greater friendship among its members. It tends to create initiative and com petitive spirit among all students in a friendly manner. Also a fraternity adds greatly to social life on the cam pus.” Floyd Boyce, Veteran, Freshman; “Sure! They form a closer relation ship among the boys.” Brevitt Hook, Kappa Psi Nu, Vet eran; “Naturally, I want them to start again as soon as possible—more fun,—better parties—they bring stu dents closer together. The biggest change I see in this college is the ab- -sence of the fraternity and fraternity spirit. Banquets and Bidnights are always something to look forward to.” Vivian Walker, B.O.B.: "I think fra ternities build character and create a loyalty in the college which lasts throughout life and which usually the non-fraternity men do not have . . . also they develop the quality of lead- i ership. Usually boys want to go to I colleges which have fraternities.” I Jean West, Freshman class secre tary: “Yes, I do, it will put more life on the campus—there will be more brotherly feeling among the fellows.” Martha Anne MicDaniel, Tau Zeta Phi, Senior: “It’s purely immaterial to me. I’ve lived on this campus with and without them and I’ve been just as happy one way as the other.” Don Kernodle, Freshman class pres ident: “Yes, when you join a fraterni ty you become associated with a group of fellows who are your type and who become your closest friends. An or ganized social life is centered around the fraternities.” Mary Coxe, Tau Zeta Phi: “By all means, they'll raise the morale of the girls . . . and too. I'm curious about what boys will be taken in by which fraternity ... It also will make bid- night much more interesting.” jhsi Qomqs. , ^xchanqsi The National Interfraternity Con ference organized in New York, No- yember 8, has enrolled 60 national Greek-letter fraternities. Its postwar program is designed to enable the fra ternity chapter to function most ef fectively in campus and community life, render substantial service to war veterans returning to school, and to manifest the true spirit of democracy for which the war was waged. Against these objectives, critics of the “fra ternity system” will find it difficult to throw rocks. The November 21 issue of THE FLAT HAT, William and Mary’s news paper, carries a feature by H. Reid, former columnist for the MAROON AND GOLD, entitled “Cyrano de Magdziak Has A Proboscis Which Is Remarkable For Its Enormity.” Still carrying on with his limitless tall tales! The Army’s specialized training pro gram at State College, the only re maining military program of its type in a Southern College, was discontinu ed in November after the institution had provided over 4,598 young soldiers during the World War II. Approxi mately 20 per cent of the State Col lege ASTP graduates during the war went directly to Oak Ridge, Tenn., where they aided in the government’s mammoth atomic bomb production project.

Jack has a dis tinct dislike for people who aren’t as crazy as he is; he also dislikes ego tism (better known as “leg-pulling”), spinach, turnips, and the ties he gives to his roommate. For a girl to pre tend to listen to him, but by the far away look in hep eye to reveal that her mind is really miles away, is his pet peeve. Jack says what he likes best about Elon is the 2:1 ratio of the boys over the .^girls, the fact that everybody speaks to everybody else no matter how many times a day they bump into each other, and those bed-time stories told by Joe Golombek. The only thing he seems to dislike about Elon is the non-holding hands spirit found among the faculty. (Get what we mean?) This is strictly off the record, but we have heard that Jack's secret am bition is to ride in one of those little white cars that the sewer-cleaners push down the street. He thinks that his decision to be come a minister was the most import ant thing that has ever happened to him, and his greatest ambition is to be a field i»inister of young people’s work. With his motto- “Veni, Vidi, Vici,” and the start he has already made he is destined to *btain his goal in life—and soon too. CAPTAIN THOMAS WOODSON RETURNS TO ENTER ELON Captain Thomas Woodson has re turned to Elon to complete his studies in music theory. Woodson was in school here 1941-42. He has spent three years in service and eleven months overseas stationed with the 318 Fighter Squadron in Italy. His decorations include the D. F. C., the Air Merdal and eight oak leaf clusters, and the European ribbon with five battle stars. Captain Woodson and his wife, the former Dot Rainey of Pine Bluff, Arkansas, reside in Burlington.
