CODE OF COLLEGE LIVING
Ever so often one of the college news
papers with winch the Maroon and Gold
exchanges copies of each issue comes up
•with a real gem in the way of an editor
ial item, a gem which appears worth pick
ing up and reprinting in these columns;
and such was the case with a recent issue
of “The Pioneer," eampus newspaper at
Catawba College.
The Catawba publication recently pub
lished in its editorial columns a "Code of
College Living" from the pen or typewri
ter of Dr. A. R. Keppel, Catawba's presi
dent, and h>s comments appear equally
as applicable to students of other colleges
as to those of his own. His comments are
reprinted below:
Out of my own experience, both as stu
dent and teacher, I recommend to you this
“Code of College Living” as a reliable
and a rewarding philo€ophy of life. Of
course it will mean little or nothing to any
of us until we accept it and make it our
very own. Will you accept this as YOUR
rule of living?
1. I consider my college experience a
conditioning process for life, and therefore
I shall attempt to derive from that exper
ience those habits of thought and of con
duct that are so essential te good citizen
ship and to worthy living.
2. I believe that consideration for the
happiness and well-being of others is one
of the primary characteristics of Christian
stature and, therefore, 1 shall practice such
consideration in all of my daily relation
ships.
3. I believe that integrity and forthright
ness are the "corner-stones of character,”
and therefore 1 .shall be honest in my class-
work and in my relationship with self and
others.
4. Since friendliness is "character in ac
tion,” I shall develop the habit of greet
ing all whom I meet and of expanding, with
discriminating judgment, my own circle of
friends.
5. Because I know that the "little things
of life”—little motives, li.tle acts, little de
cisions—are often far more important
than the loudly proclaimed great issues,
I shall particularly heed these "little
things ’ with tongue and head and heart,
that I may become rich in soul as well
as in mind.
6. Since I know that conscientiousness
and industry are essential not only to per
sonal happiness and contentment, but to
all worthy and .tuccessful achievement, I
shall cultivate these qualities in all that I
do.
7. I believe that good sportsmanship is
paramount to winning, and therefore 1 shall
discipline myself to boost rather than boo,
to cheer rather than jeer and to admit
defeat, if necessary, rather than to alibi.
8. I believe that good manners are the
mark of a gentleman and of a lady, where
as indignities and acts of poor taste—even
in jest—leav« character stains which can
never be eradicated.
9. Because I am grateful for the mater
ial things here at college—buildings, equip-
Tnent, and campus—which have bee» pro
vided through the generous gifts of friends,
I shall consistently endeavor to prove my
gratitude by the manner in which I use
them and care for them.
10. Even when cynicism and doubt tempt
me, as occasionally they will, I shall exhibit
the courage to believe in God and in my
fellow men, for 1 know that only such faith
Is adequate for the development of a full
and rich life and for the ultimate achieve
ment of a just, moral and peaceful society.
These are my beliefs and my aspirations.
To their fulfillment. I hereby commit my
self.—A. R. Keppel, President, Catawba
College.

SQUARE ED.MONDS
I'm just a committee of one. Aside from
the arguments of comfort and satisfaction,
with which I try to make a formidable
showing, there are argument.s of personal
acceptance and just plain progressive ac
ceptance.
Tis true I'm aware that all I say or
write flies over the heads of most of the
Christian clan at the rate of 120 M.P.H..
but it's never lo» late to try enlighten
ment. There are a lot of fallacies and in-
aonvenienco*, about this sclBool about which
I know, for you see I've already been here
for four years. I'm not bragging. It’s more
like complaininR.
Take for example the inconvenience of
registering late. If you register late you’re
just out one lousy dollar. Oh, yeahl I know
we have a full week for registration, but
jt always seems that by the time you fill
cut your schedule and find your advisor
and get permission slips signed, it's one
minute after five on that last day, and the
registrar’s office closes at five.
1 could go on and on, but it might not
make print, so wc’ll just let the other in
conveniences remain firmly entrenched and
follow the middle of the road. Course I’m
probably not very tactful, but if I were
I d still be unnoticed.
TIPS — Everybody has something to
recommend to fellow students, such a^the
American way, clean living and a regular
change of socks. I, too, have a recommen
dation to make, one which I feel should
be considered far more seriously than the
above trivia, considering of course the
element of time and place. I heartily rec
ommend to my readers hard and con
scientious preparation for your forthcom
ing exams.
ORCHIDS To the Town of Eion Col
lege, whose only tradition is that of "Chris-
tianville,” for the pa«iting of the white
lines via the Main Drag. That's what I
call modern living . . . Also to Woody
Brown for being the guy who makes old
age famous . . .
DIPLOMATIC NOTE — It was nice to
hear the viewpoints of Art Pitts pertain
ing to the recent off-season election, of
how proud he was (and yours truly) that
"the rats are leaving the sinking ship" . . .
TO WHOM IT may CONCERN — How
about a few more guest speakers on the
campus like Bob Cox, or at least a rea
sonable facsimile. Maybe if we made this
request as a sort of community sing we
could get some results,
WHIMSY SIDE — Artie Johnson has
the unique distinction of being ejected
from an intramural conte.st, but that's just
a phase of the stress and strain of spirited
competition , . . We all can't be the per
fect paragons of virtue, but speaking of
tag-football, if apears it's just too much.
Haven’t had so much fun since throwing
rocks at the squirrels . . . Vince Bujan
had to cut a class the other day on the
day of a quiz; it .seems it was a true-false
quiz, and poor Vince did not have a coin
to flip . . .
SUGGESTION — How about a real good
"pep rally” here at old Elo' this week
prior to the Elon-Lenoir Rhyne game?
Complete with band, bonfire and all the
trimmings. The cheerleaders could do the
arranging, that is if we are all interested.
Or we can just sit back and look at each
other on another "dead" Friday night.
Our campus is still suffering from a bad
case of suitcase-itis. Wake up, Dan!!!
ADIEU — Got to leave now, but before
I do, let me say one more thing. “Hey,
Pitts, Halloween’s over. Take off that silly
mask!”

With Fine Guest Spsakers ...
Students Told Of New Deiiomiiiatioii
Imbued with the belief that the
ministerial students of Elon Col
lege should be acquainted in de
tail with the various ecumenical
movements in the world today, the
program committee of the Minis
terial Association here on the Elon
campus has in.stituted a program
of study this fall that centers
about the most significant event
in the ecclesiastical histoi-y of
modern times.
That event, which serves as the
central theme «f the Ministerial
Association programs this fall, is
the merger bstween the Congre
gational Christian churches and
the Evangelical and Reformed
churches of America, which was
concluded in a nationwide convo
cation at Cleveland in 1957.
In keeping with this program
theme and to help ministerial stu
dents of all denominatiocis to un
derstand the significance of this
event, a number of outstanding
speakers were scheduled to speak
to the Elon College Ministerial
Association and to inform the min
isterial students about the various
aspects of the newly-formed de
nomination, the United Church of
Christ.
Dr. Donald C. Dearborn, dean
I of Catawba College, who is an
outstanding authority on the sub
ject of the new United Church of
Christ, was the first guest speak
er, and he gave the group the
basic facts concerning the pro
gress since the merger.
Rev. Robert Knowles, Secretary
of Christian Education for the!
Southern Convention of Congre
gational Christian Churches, has
arto addressed the ministerial
group and told of the work of
the national secretaries for Chris-'
tian education within the denom
ination.
Dr. William T. Scott, superin
tendent of the Southern Conven
tion of Congregational Christian
Churches, is another speaker who
is to tell the group of the part
the Southern Convention plays in
the United Church.
Also scheduled to speak here is
Rev. Percel Austin, assistant for
the Convention of the South (Ne
gro organization of Congregation
al Christian Churches, who will
tell'of the work his group is to
have in the new denomination.
Plans also call for Dr. Harvey
E. Fesperman, president of the
Southern Synod of the Evangeli
cal and Reformed Church, to
speak to the ministerial organiza
tion concerning the work being
done by hig group in the denomi
national merger.

By
DICK LASIILEY
Gossip is rather slim around the cam
pus these days, so the "Here n There’’
speel for this edition will probably live un
lo its title, because I’ve really got to roam
here ’n there about the campus to get
enough "news” to fill this spot.
Before delving to« far into the busintss
of writing this col'Umn I would like to
offer “Here ’n There’s” most hearty con-
gratulations to the cast of "Annie Get
Your Gun ’ for a job well done. Between
the singing of the stars and the dancing
of beautiful gals, some real swell enter
tainment was passed out to all who attend,
ed. "The Heirass” wiH be the next pro.
duction of our Elon Players, and I under,
stand rehearsals are sSready underway.
Alamance Gets New Lights
Looks as if the students' “eyeballs" are
to receive a welcome relief before too
l«ig in the classrooms of Alamoftice Build
ing. The relief is to be in the form o(
fluorescent lighting. According to unoffi
cial reports, the contract for the work has
already been let, and installation of the
n»w lights is expected to begin soon.
Student Body Finances
The_ student body treasurer, Kay Hughes,
delivered a financial report to the student
•body during a recent chapel assembly.
However, bearing in mind that it is rather
hard for yours truJy to follow such a leng
thy report, this reporter believes the same
is true for the rest of you “sljtodents”. In
view of this fact, I have secured the finan-
cial report from the Student Governraeit
Office and am about to give you a brief
recap of said report.
To date our student government officials
and committees have spent a total of
$470.49. So far, only two committees have
been functioning in our student govern,
ment organization. They are the Enter,
tainment Committee and Dance Commit
tee and they have spent $146.61 and $21.81
respectively. The remainder of the expen
ditures are charged te the student govem-
metn organization proper. Of the $5,448.28
on hand at the beginning of the year, we
now have a balance of $4,977.70. To date
there is no record of the amount spent for
the orchestra for Homecoming.
Exams Loom Ahead
There is little need to remind you "scho
lars” that that joyous time of the quarter
we all look forward to so much is just
ahead. Exams! Aha!
Speaking of exam time nearing, it brings
to mind the thought as to why professor!
seem to wait until the end of the quarter
to assign themes, reports, and outside
work. These things are expected, but wliy
do they have to wait and assign all of
them at one time? Just one of those mys
teries of scholastic endeavors I guess.
Yea Team!
Even though our football team's record
is a little different this year from last
year, “Here ’n There” would still lilts to
say, "Good show, old sports!” We miglit
not have won all the games, but our Fight
ing Christians have been in there battling
all the way.
I only wish the students could have made
as good a showing in attendance as the
team has on the field. I can’t speak from
personal experience, but I’ve heard that
it sure helps a team and makes them
more eager to win when they have a sta
dium full of “yelling” fans to back them
up.
Elon College Church
In one of the past columns of "Here
’n There”, mention was made of the new
Elon College Comanunity Church. Those
students on their way to The Grill have
probably noticed the progress that has
been made on the new edifice. The ground
floor has already been completed, and the
steel girders and supports are being raised
for the framework of the remaindsr of the
building. As work pregresses, it is hopeii
that the building fund for the new church
will also progress. Donations will still
appreciated.
Stop!
Gossip’s all gone! Can’t think of asoll'®
thing to write, and furthermore, I w
going to try very hard to do so. Such
ling the case the logical thing to do u
stop. So I will. See you next issue.
