written and directed by Wayne
Kudisill, dramatic arts major from
Catawba, drew a capacity audience
which vigorously applauded each
of the twelve acts, acts which var
ied from chorus girls and snap-
oy routines to a dramatic recita-
.ifjn.
Narration was by Ikoy 'X'arle-
lon. who explaint 0 the heartaches
backaches, flops, and successes of
si:cw business so that the audience
actually felt as though it was "sit
ting in " on an opening night ol a
gala musical.
A few fluffs were experienced,
but the cast went "on with the
show" like true troupers. One such
fluff oct^arred when the chorus
girls (Elon majorettes) "set off on
the wTong foot", literally, in their
first loutine. They carried on ex
pertly. however, by talking to the
audience and laughing at their
mistakes, and the chorus girls, as
|well as the audience, had a good
time,

COLLEGE COSTS

ing costs in other areas of college
operation, with consensus of opin
ion that students might be expect
ed to pay a larger share of edu
cational costs and that colleges
would be justified in adjusting
•their charges to that end. It was
further revealed that 17 of the
30 colleges represented contem
plate or plan increases in student
tuition, fees and other charges for
the 1958-59 college year.
Recognizing that the problem
needs further study, a committee
■was named to make such study
and report at a later meeting.
Members of this special commit
tee included the presidents of
Catawba, Salem, Belmont Abbey,
W'arren Wilson, Wingate and Le
noir Rhyne Colleges.
after which that great jazz era
“The Roaring ’Twenties", was
presented by two "flappers"’ who
prefer to remain anonymous. Clos
ing the floor show was Beverly
Bentley's pantomime of "Rock
Right ” and Bob Willet’s witty an
tics as master of ceremonies.
In addition to beautiful decora
tions and interesting entertain
ment, the dance was enhanced bj
the lively music of “The Knights,’
dance band from Williams High
School, which made a fine cam
pus debut.
Proof of the excellence of tli>
first freshman dance was the lau
d=>tory comments of a number of
campus characters who were poll
ed as to Hjeir opinion. Some of
them follow—
JIM HUMPHRIES — "It was
Ine nicest dance that I have at
tended this school year, and I en
joyed it thoroughly. It showed
much hard work.”
PROF. DEWEY STOWERS —
"A fine job by the Freshman
Class. There should have tieeu a
larger attendance.”
DICK GUITE — "The Freshman,'
Class deserves a lot of credit for
the initiative they showed. If the
other classes took the cue in the
future, it would rfeally boosts soc
ial life at Elon, It was a fine dance
DR. BENSON — ‘‘The Fresh
man Dance was an outstanding
success in all respects and should
be a shining example for more
affairs of this sort in the future ’
BOB SKINNER _ "A very en
joyable dance that showed a lot
of hard work. It was something
that should be done more often,”
There were many other similar
comments to attest to the success
of this Freshman Dance.
