Freshman Officers Elected Tuesday MORE ABOUT ELON FACULTY (Continued From Page One) campus friends as the “Commuter.” He teaches at Elon, Monday, Wed nesday, and Friday, but on T-ues- days, Thursdays, and Saturdays he goes to school at Duke for his Doc tor’s Degree. He is a native of Mt. View, Arkan sas but he drifted away from Ar kansas and came to North Carolina. He states that he likes North Car olina and plans to adopt the state as his home. In the Lone Star State he re ceived his under-graduate work at Texas Christian University, Ft. Worth, Texas. Here they stressed the spoken language and showed motion pictures of the Latin Amer ican Countries and their attributes. Mr. Ivie believes that the Spanish Language hooks up with the Arabic language. In 1944-45 he received his Master’s Degree from Chicago University in the field of Spanish, Persian, Arabic and Oriental His tory. He is now working toward his Doctor’s Degree at Duke University, under Dr. William F. Stinespring, professor of Old Testament and Semitics. He expects to have the de gree in thre^ years. Among his travels, a trip to South America has been the most recent. There he visited Guatemala, Bra zil, and many other countries of that region. He emphasized the point tliat little children from poor fam ilies could express themeslves beau tifully, using the subjunctive form of the Spanish verb. He believes that the only way to learn the lan guage is to listen to and observe the peoples of the countries. Mr. Ivie, while he stays in Elon, is living at Professor Brannock’s home. “Elon is a fine school and I enjoy the spirit and cooperation both from the students and adminis tration,” explained Mr. Ivie. Prof. Hoyle S. Bruton joins the English department as an instruc tor, and, as he ptus it, “joins battle with a whirlwind” in his position as advisor for Maroon and Gold. A native of Thomasville, N. C., Mr. Bruton tok his A. B. in English at the University of North Carolina and finished residence work there toward his M. »A. in English. His minor as a graduate student was folklore. Most of Mr. Brutons newspaper experience came with a three-year stretch ,0^ public relations work with the army in England, France, Belgium and - Germany. With a background of study un der Dr. Ralph' Steele Boggs, inter nationally known folklore scholar at Chapel Hill, Mr. Bruton has, for over two years, been a collector of North Carolina folklore. Some of his collection has al ready been published in the first issue of “North Carolina Folklore,” a quarterly, which he edits. Other material of his is to be published in the second issue which should come out some time this month. “North Carolina Folklore,” Mr. Bruton says, is the only magazine bf its type in the United States. Other folklore journals are of the "“learned journal” type. The new magazihe, sponsored by the Folk lore Council of the University of North Carolina, is meant for pop ular consutmption. Too, it is to serve as a collecting point for folk lore of the state. 'v'' y. X liwit ^ DO YOU HAVE THE EATING HABIT ? Try one of our delicious Dogpatch SHMOOS ELON SODA SHOP n Bookstore To Have Elbow Room At Last The College Bookstore, whose crowded quarters have long been a subject of discussion, is to be moved to a more spacious site in Mooney building, according to an announcement made this week by James C. Hayes, business manager. The long-u,nused stages in the center of the ground floor in Mooney is to be the Bookstore’s new loca tion. This will relieve the cnfu- sion caused by "the long queues which block the passages of Ala mance. Semi-officially, Mr. Hayes said that the move had been approved by President Smith and the secretary of the Board of Trustees. Though no official date has been set for the moving of the Bookstore to Mooney, it should be safe to say, Mr. Hayes said, that the plans will be carried out in the very near fu ture. It has been tentatively proposed that the remainder of the space in Mooney which has been used for dining be made into a combination recreation hall and lounge for the convenience of students. This projected conversion is meant to answer a long standing need of the student body. There is no official word on the plan as yet.

This reinstatement has been veri fied by both Dean D. J. Bowden and James M. Hayes, business manager. Mr. Hayes suggested that the rooms may be ready for occupancy by fra ternities at some time near the Thanksgiving holidays, but he was unable to make a definite state ment. Dean Bowden, too, was unable to name a date at which the fraterni ties could repossess the rooms. '“Even after the rooms are vacated,” he said, “no fraternities should enter until the rooms are ready.” Elonites Play In Jump Band For Cash And Kicks By JACK SNYDER Several times each week Bill Kivett, Ray McKenzie, Bill Staf ford and I put our books aside, leave our worries just inside Elon’s main gate, where they c|an be picked up conveniently on our way back in, and strike out for some point in North Carolina where we get paid for making a lot of noise with Jimlny Perkins’ band. Playing engagements usually irange anywhere from Greensboro (where we played last week at Wo man’s College) to Davidson Col lege. All of ms like music, and like it on the groovy side, but our reasons for playing are pretty materialistic. We’ll play anything from “Dog House” to “Hill Billy” as long as we get paid for it. Too, of course, the music pays off in “kicks.” Kivett and M^Kenlzie are both Sophomores, and played with Jimmy before the war. Both served in the Navy and rejoined Jinfflny after the war. Too, they both play sax and clarinet. Kivett is from Burlington, )and MjcKen- zie lives in nearby Gibsonville. Stafford and I were not in the eervice. A Jujpior, S(tafford has been with the band for some time, handling the trumpet assignment. Before joining Jimmy’s band, 1 worried the drums for Earl Ben nett’s band in Norfolk, Va. It’s a wonder there’s any peace in our band family at aU. The fe male singer for the band. Miss Jackie Robertson, just returned from winning a talent-beauty con test in Cuba. Rumor has it that a Bill Barger Gains Presidency In Hot Voting Freshmen Class officers were elected in a meeting of the Fresh man Class held Tuesday in Whitley Auditorium. After a hotly contested ballot, the following officers were elected: Bill Barger, president; Virgil Money,, secretary; Miss Virginia Latta, vice-president; and Miss Lacala Wilkins, treasurer. The Misses Helen Jackson ana Billie Green were elected represen tatives to the Woman’s Council; Henry Hoppe and A1 Eubank were elected representatives to the Men’s Council. Virgil Money hails from Mount Airy, N. C., and is a graduate of Mount Airy high school. In high school he was a member of the Hi-Y Club. At Elon, he is 4he treasurer of the pre-legal society and is ma joring in business administration. He is also a member of the Interim Council oif the Student Legislature of N. C. He was one of Elon’s rep resentatives at this council last year. Lacala Wilkins, froim Burlington, is a graduate of Burlington high school. In higii school Miss Wil kins was treasurer of the Tri-Hi-Y Club, reporter of the school ne^itfe- paper, and was the feature editor of the high school annual. At Elon she is a cheerleader. Her major is phys ical education. Virginia Latta is also from Bur lington, and a graduate of BurUng^ ton high school. In high school she was a member of Tri-Hi-Y. Her ma jor at Elon is physical education. No information is available yet oa Bill Barger. red Crosley, much like an Elon ve hicle of the same make, has been seen at Miss Robertson’s curb in Graham, but that is probably sub versive propaganda designed to spread dissension in the ranks of the band. Though all the Elon boys in the band like music, none of us plan to make a career of it. Kivett and McKenzie are majoring in busi ness, and Stafford is majoring in Pre-Med.
