W. W. Sloan, professor of
religion, is soon to publish his col
lege textbook on the Old Testa
ment. The new volume will be
published by the Abingdon Press
and is slated to be ready for the
American market next March.
The new book, a survey of the
Old Testament, which Is based
upon Dr. Sloan's years of teach
ing in that field, tells its story in
words which can be understood
by the college student and the
church layman.
After writing the first draft in
3P63, Dr. Sloan multigraphed it
'or use in his Elon classes, and
copies were tent to other teachers
with a request for criticism and
suggestions. It was al.so submitted
.0 the Abingdon Press, which sug
gested to the author in 1954 that
he expand it at certain points.
After considering the comments
r.f the ciitics. Dr. Sloan re-wrote
:he book and submitted it again
as a 548-page manuscript in April
of 1955. The revised edition was
also mimeographed and used here
at Elon this year, and in recent
months a third revision has con
densed certain portions to avoid
excessive length. The author has
ecently signed a final contract
?or publicatiop within a year.
Dr. Sloan, who states that he
has already had inquiries concern
ing the book from persons in Aus-
‘ralia, Asia, Africa and Europe,
lists one request for translation
into one .of the Eastern languages.
He entitled his multigraphed edi
tions of the book '‘Gol Marches
On," but the publi.shers are calling
'.he work “A Survey of the Old
Testament. A Textbook for Under
graduates and Laymen.”
Under the Honor System here |
at Elon College each student is I
on his or her honor not to cheat,
steal or lie; and if any student
should see another student com
mitting any of thes-r violations
then he or she is honor bound to
report the'violatlon to tlie Honor
Council.
The members of the newly
formed Honor Council, which hks
recently assumed its duties for the
coming year, feel that every stu
dent should be aware of his or
her responsibility to the Honor
Code, should know the procedure
for reporting violations and should
be familiar with the ac.ual man
ner of trial.
Since a student’s honor is the
very foundation of his character,
each should think it a duty to him
self and to his classmates to re
port himself if he violates this
Honor Code. By turning himself
in. he demonstrates that he is
aware of his misdeeds and is will
ing to accept the punishment
deemed necessary to his action.
A student observing a violation
of honor is obligated to see that
the name of the student under
suspicion, along with the offense
involved, is reported to the Honor.
Council. He may do this by ask-1

EDITOR’S I^OTE
Having jflist assumed office
and realizing the great need for
emphasizing the Honor Code
here at Elon at all times, and
more especially on the eve of
final examinations, the Honor
Countil has requested publica
tion of the accompanying ex
planation of the Elon Honor
Code and its application to cam
pus conduct and problems.
dng the stud'eni involved in the
violation to report himself or by
reporting the information directly
to the Council. If a member of
the Council cannot be reached, a
student may ask his instnictor or
the dean to inform the council.
When an offense is reported to
the Honor Council, the , chairman
will gererally notify the accused
person and a time will be appoint
ed for trial. At this trial the Honor
Council first hears the evidence
against the student in his absence;
then the accused person is called
in to plead his case and to discuss
'the violation with the Council
members. After this discussion he
is dismissed, and Council thor
oughly review? the case and reach
es a final judgment. The accused
person will be informed of the re
sults by the Council.
Above all else, the Honor Coun
cil does not seek to condemn or
punish; rather, its purpose is to
protect and uphold the Honor
Code and to help the student. The
growth of the individual as a per
son of character is the chief con
cern of all the Council members;
and the Council challenges each
and every student — the Student
Body itself — to make the same
purpose as universal aim on the
campus.
The best attitude and spirit a
student can develop can be sum
med up in the following words—
■'Elon is my college. I shall be
loyal to her in word and deed;
.... 1 shall not treat lightly this
opportunity to learn and grow in
wisdom, nor lower my character
by dishonesty in academic work
.... Elon is my college. I shall
always be proud of her in such
a way that she may be proud of
me.”

Erratic fielding proved the un
doing of the Elon Christian as
they dropped an 8 to 5 decision
to the Pfeiffer Panthers at Nor
wood la.st Saturday night. The
Christians committed six errors,
hree of them in the outfield, in
their first battle under lighls this
eason.
Three Elon pitchers worked a
creditable game as they held the
winning Pfeiffer nine to six hits,
hut they wer unable to overcome
the costly errors committed hy
their mates. At the same time they
