topped with a student balloting for
national candidates, to be held on
Tuesday and Wednesday, Novem
ber 1st and 2nd, just one week
before the millions of Americans
all over the United States go to
the polls.
The campaign and election is
to be staged under the auspices of
the Student Government, directed
by Student President Ed Boelte, to
acquaint students with national
candidates and issues. In prior
election years a student balloting
has been held by political science
classes.
The Republican group, led by
Cliff Hardy and David Plaster un
der the title of "College Youth
for Nixon,” launched its campaign
first with a party rally in Whitley
Auditorium last night, with Hardy
as a student speaker and featur
ing a political address by Forrest
Covington, of Burlington, leader of
the United Fund Campaign at
Western Electric.
The Republican prograr* la-s

Home Economics Group
Gets Realistic Training
(Another Picture en Page 4)
The new Home Economics practice house, located on West College Avenue to the rear of Presi
dent Danieley's home and opposite the post office is pictured above. The house, which was form
erly the pastor’s home for the Eloa College Community Church, was nooved to its present site and
renovated for Mae use of the home economics students.
The Home Economics Depart
ment is the proud possessor of a
new home economics practice
house, located on West College
Avenue to the rear of President
J. E. Danieley’s home, and the
hotse is operating in full swing
this year with three of the home
ec majors getting their practical
training this semester.
The house, of typical bungalow
style, was formerly the pastor’s
home for the Elon College Com
munity Church and srtood on the
site now occupied by the church
itself. It was moved when the
church was buUt and has been in
the process of renovation since
that time, making h suitable for
use in the home economics train
ing program under the direction
of Mrs. Mary G. Butler, who is
chairman of the department.
Completely refinished and refur
nished inside, the house is now
very attractive both inside sid
out. The downstairs rooms are
decorated in shades of beige, with
accents of pumpicin and gold and
with furnishings in keeping with
the color scheme. Most of the
fumUhings were donated by alum
ni or friends o( tbe college.
The first floor includes a large
living room, a dining room, a bed
room and bath and a completely
modern kitchen. The upper floor
has three large bedrooms and a
modem bath, providing accomo
dations for as many as six girls
and a house mother.
The students taking the prac
tice house course this semester
1 include Della Marie Vickers,
j Peggy Burke and Gayle Patterson,
with Mrs. Thyra Swint living with
them in the house. The girls are
living in the house for a period
of six weeks and take turns cook
ing, serving as housekeeper and
as hostess. Part of their course re-
I quires nutritional meals and a
I strict budget. The budget must
not exceed 75 cents per day per
person for half the period nor
I more than 95 cents per person for
I the remainder of the period.
The girls s^rve guest meals each
week, and the first of the guest
meals was a surprise birthday din
ner honoring Miss Lila Newman,
who teaches art at the College.
Other guest! on this occasion were
