PAGE fOUB MAROON AND GOLD Friday, October REID THIS/ three colleges (Elon but I never learned basic requirements: I went to was No. 2), one of the Smoking. Now, 1 had a roommate at col lege No. 3, William and Mary, who did take up the art of the weed The how of all this will ensue. I do not offer it as a deterrant to those who indulge. I just think you’ll get a bang out of the story. The hero of this factual bit is Charlesworth Merryweather Dic kerson III, and that Is his true name, although he wished many times that it hqd been fictional one. One day, Charlesworth peeped over his first-year Chaucer text book and announced, “I am tired of this pantywalst Charlesworth routine. I am going to put some man into that name. I have start ed smoking as of now.” It was about this time that Charlesworth and I were painting some old fish boxes. We were us ing them for bookshelves in our dorimtory room. They were a stuning baby blue with orange polka dots. The turpentine we'd used for cleaning brushes had been care fully dumped into the—well, it was in the—anyway, the turpen tine hadn't been flushed down. It was still there. I have to give you these impor tant details so as to properly bring you the explosive climax of this tale. It was a wicked turn of events that Charlesworth Merryweather Dickerson III felt compeUed at this moment to attend to some busi ness In the same room with the turpentine Old Charlesworth went about his task, lighting up a cigarette from his very first pack. It was a meas ure of comfort, you know, seated there like he was and all, puffing away on a good old cigarette and deftly flicking the match—as he'd seen those big time operator foot ball players do on campus—in i downward arc. The more imaginative of you readers may well envision the su per hot seat afforded poor unsus pecting Charlesworth Merrywea ther Dickerson III. Those slow to catch on will please be advised that the lighted match set fire to the turpentine and I need not remind you that Charlesworth Merryweather Dic kerson Ill's Important segments weren't too far above. He yowled. He hopped about. He studied the fire. It was growing. A twist of that and the worries are over. That’d pour water on the fire, so to speak. Well, the water poured on the fire, all right, but it was cold wa ter and the porcelain that we’re alluding to, being fired up, didn’t react favorably at all. Matter of fact, the crockery cracked. StiU the water came. It ran and ran and ran, down the hall, down the steps and out front of the dorm. Little Niagara, It was. Pretty soon, the dean came around, wanting to know who’d broken the watchamacallit upstairs. "I did,” Charlesworth Merry- weather Dickerson III bravely ad mitted. The dean had that klck-you-out- of-school look In his eye when he asked through force of habit, “What have you to say for your self, young man?" “I am giving up smoking. It is too costly a habit.” High Praise For Player Performance By CLYDE McCANTS The Elon Players inaugurated their new season last weekend with an exciting performance of Pa trick Hamilton’s Victorian thriller. “Angel Street." To say that the Players lived up to their reputa tion of the past four years is to say that the large audience was treated to a thrilling evening of theatre. The play Itself is familia, par ticularly to those who saw the motion-picture version, "Gaslight.' It holds no claim to either sub tlety or depth: it makes its points in hard and quick action and dia logue, wrapped in a tense mystery plot. The Elon group played it for excitement and squeezed every ounce of suspense from the play. The performers were all well equipped for their tasks. In the smaller roles Judith Townend as Elizabeth and Millie Fletcher as Nancy were convincing and spon taneous and offered fine support for the leading actors. Tommy Hmore, as Rough, de veloped a believable character, deliberate and thoughtful, and maintained this portrayal withouf a trace of inconsistency through out the' entire performance. In the role of Manningham, Roy Epperson took full advantage of every dramatic opportunity and mounted to an Impressive peak of tension In the last act. His voice and his skillful use of it are qual ities many actors might well emu late. for he made the slightest nuance of character immediately obvious in the way he spoke. His performance was forceful and frighteningly effective. Etta Britt, who appeared as Mrs. Manningham. was a constant delight. Her voice and her every movement bespoke a dramatic instinct of Impressive dimensions and there was true conviction in everything she said or did. As always, the primary credit for a successful production be longs with the director, who must select, train and coordinate the various talents; and surely Melvin E. Wooton has proven himself to local audiences on so many pre vious occasions that any addition al praise would be superfluous HOMECOMING QUEEN CROWNED On Campus (Continued from Page Two) “My interest Is in the future because I am going to spend the rest of my Ufe there.”— Charles F. Kettering. • • • “It Is wrong to assume that men of immense wealth are al ways happy.”—John D. Rock*- feller. « * • “The man who dies rich dies disgraced.”—Andrew Carnegie. (Continued from Page Two) the Honor Council in eliminating this unfairness to the other stu dents. The previous suggestions have been dealing with the students be cause it is a student problem and should be done by the students in conjunction with the admin istration. If it comes to the point that the studens will not take it upon themselves to do it, then it would be only right for the Dean of Students to step in and deal with It accordingly. If the students cannot govern themselves then they need to be governed. It does the student injustice to let him continue to violate the campus code; it harms him in that it lets him get by with some thing that might lead to larger short cuts in the future. It is not fair to the offender’s fellow stu dents, who spend their time in line waiting to be served and then the line-breaker goes to the front of the line. I'd also like to remind you that there Is a dollar fine for line-breaking. So think about It! White Ticket Boys There is one committee on cam pus that is functioning to the Nth degree, and that is the parking committee. Take the word of an experienced person, they don’t mind giving you a little white piece of paper which will cost yon at east a doUar. So watch where you park your car, for the “Elon poUce force'’ is in action. I am notj sure I understand exactly where this money goes, so I make a suggestion that it be used to pave the parking lots on campus. This world also help eliminate the dust problem.

Elon’s WAA Plays Host To Physical Ed Meeting Fellowships For Graduate Study The Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation, annually awards 1,000 fellowships valued at $1,500 each to encourage cap able persons to enter the colleec teaching field. The fellowships also pay tuition and fees and provide dependency allowance for wives and children of mar ried candidates. The Foundation accepts no direct applications, but facul ties of various colleges have been selecting capable nominees and will submit their 1959 Bom- Inations by Saturday of this week. It is understood that the Elon facnlty will submit two or more nominations, but identifi cation of nominees are not made public. Last year 41 college Juniors were selected for Woodrow Wil son Fellowships, and they are candidates for the awards dur ing the year 1960-61, provided their work during their senior year continues on the same high plane. Those receiving the awards are not committed to college teaching, but they do agree to “seriously consider” such a profeadoo. Miss Helen Stuart, advisor In physical education for the North Carolina Department of Public In struction. will be the featured speaker at the annual fall meet ing of the state group of the Ath letic and Recreation Federation of College Women, which is to be held on the Elon campus next Friday, November 8th. The Women's Athletic Associa tion of Elon College will be host that day to delegates from at least six other North Carolina Colleges. Colleges which have already ac cepted invitations to send dele gates inciud,e Woman's College, Dnke University, Catawba, Peace, Mars HIU and Sacre Heart Col lege of Montreal. The gathering will get underway with registration, starting at 11 o’clock next Friday morning at Alumni Memorial Gymnasium. The afternoon program Includes two general sessions, discussion groups and a meeting of the advisory board. A banquet in McEwen Ban quet Hall at 6 o’clock and the showing of a movie at 8:30 o'clock that night concludes the meeting. Mrs. Jeanne Griffin, director of women’s physical education at Elon, has invited all of Elon’s women students to attend, but she urges them to make reservations for the banquet with her at the gym by Saturday of this week. Time Out (0)ntinued from Page Three) it is so strong in New York, Penn sylvania, Indiana and points 500 miles away. There is probably a good answer to these questions, and I would like to suggest a reason for the situation, a reason which has noth ing to do with sports. We don't igpt local athletes simply because the apathy and lethargic attitudes of the student body has all too often influenced people of their hometowns into thinking our school is inadequate. The administration can scream from the roof-tops, telling the world about our new facilities and progressive approac hto education, but they will never be sufficiently heard until our student body re flects the “New Elon No, tor too many cynical and skep tical minds find no peace with out slandering and destroying their Alma Mater. An athletic team wins, not only because of its talent, but also because there is a fighting spirit among the students which drives the athletes on to victory. If all of us, transplanted Yankees and Rebels alike, were really to tell the worid that Elon is to be reck oned with, then Elon’s athletic The Catawba Indians used Elon’s favorite weapon, the forward pass, for valuable yardage at crucial points as they turned back the Fighting Christians 21 to 8 In a Conference battle at Salisbury last Saturday. The Catawba win, brealdng a 5-game Indian los ing streak, pushed Elon into the Conference cellar, which the two teams had shared until that time. The victory-hungry Indians grabbed off Elon fumbles which blocked one Elon touchdown drive and set up a golden scoring chance for Catawba. -An Elon fumble on a punt at the Elon 6-yard line gave the Indians their first TD, wliich came four plays later when Joe Arahill bucked over from the one. Paul Folmer kicked the point that made it 7 to 0. • • * HOW IT HAPPENED Catawba First Downs 15 Yards Gain Rushing 205 Yards Lost Rushing 24 Net Yards Rushing 181 19 Forward Passes Attempted 14 10 Forward Passes Completed 5 75 Yards Gain Passing 105 134 Total Yards Scrimmage 286 1 Opp. Passes Intercepted 2 32.8 Ave. Yards Punts 35.5 2 Fumbles Lost 2 0 Yards Penalties 25 Score by Periods; Elon 0 0 0 8— 8 Catawba 7 0 6 8—21 Elon Touchdown — Thrower (1- mn).

Extra Points — Folmer (placement), Campagna (Two- pointer on pass from Ball). « * « That was the count as the two ’teams went out for half-time in termission, for a sturdy Catawba defense effectively stopped the Elon attack throughout the first half. The Indian aerial defense was particularly effective in that op ening half as it held the Chris tians without a pass completion until half-time. A second Catawba TD came in the third quarter, with Worthing ton circling end for eight yards for the score. The Christians re bounded after that touchdown, with Charlie Maidon's passing sparking an Elon drive. Ed Throw er, one of Elon’s freshman half backs. ripped over from the one to climax the drive, and Charlie Maidon flipped to Jim Moore in the end zone for the two-pointer that narrowed the count to 13-8 midway the final period. It appeared then that Elon was back in competition, but the In dians came right back with an 81-yard march for the final coun ter. Arahill climaxed the drive with another one-yard plunge to pay-dirt. Ronnie Ball passed to Leonard Campagna for the two points that marked the final score GIVEN HONOR Two Teams Share Grid Leadership Smith One and Carolina One both undefeated after two weeki of play in the Tag-Pootbau League, are topping the six-teajn circuit. Smith One shows tlirai victories, while Carolina One has two ,wins. In other intramural sports, the horseshoe toumameB is still in progress and drawinj much interest, and competition is keen in tfiie five-team bowlinj league.
