TTic Elon Student Government
ami the problems involving the
Honor Council and the Student
Council were subjects of a meeting
of both faculty and student repre
sentatives held last week.
Leading the discussion meeting
vas Dr. H. II. Cunnignhara, dean
of the college, other faculty repre
sentatives being Dr. Robert Ben-
.son, Prof. Robert Baxter and Mrs.
John H. Williams. Siutl.'^nt reo e-
senlati'OS’ were Ed Eoelte, David
Plaster, Mike York, C. G. Hall,
Lynn Ryals, Phyllis Hoplsins and
the writer.
Dr. Cunningham assured the
grcnp that something must be done
concerning recent infringements
of the Honor Council and Student
Council regulations, such as line
brPaking in the cafeteria, conduct
in chapel and at movies and cheat
ing.
It was pointed out that the
students at Elon have been £iven
the opportunity to govern them
selves and that failure to take full
advantage of this opportunity re
sults In an ineffective system,
(ince the Henor Council and the
Student Council cannot be effec
tive unless backing Is given by
each student.
There was also comment con
cerning the situation in which the
punished offender Is made a mar
tyr and the one who reported the
offense to the Honor Connell turns
out to be' a condemned villain in
campus opinion. This seems ab
solutely ridiculous in view of the
basic principle of our Honor Code.
most cheating, but they have given
the students the privilege of tak
ing tests and doing assignments
on their honor. It should mean
something to a student when he
swears on tlie honor of his name
that has has not cheated on some
piece of work, and it appears that
those who complain about cheat
ing should either report the guilty
or keep it to themselves. It is a
put-up or shut-up situation.
At the dining hall door, it is
rather distressing and pitiful to
see a group of howling, stamping,
shoving, yelling ‘students banging
on the door. Some faculty mem
bers assert that they have never
at any other school seen such
childish or immature behavior.
The same group may be heard
each and every Friday night at
'he admission free movies in Whit-
Tey .Audftorium, and t^e same
group may be heard daily about
the campus reciting all the irrela-
vant and insignificant gripes to
be expected from such.
Are we, then, being ruled by a
loud - mouthed minority which
might appropriately be called the
Animal Kingdom. It's up to the
students to take the responsibility
and initiative to do something
about the situation.
It is now up to the students, and
failure to do something to rem
edy the problem may well result
in Student Government powers be
ing lost. If such should occur,
then students would have no
chance to judge themselves, and
tudents would have no one but
themselves to blame if the power
of judgment were to be assumed

to report someone who is infring

and honest student, but one who
does have the fortitude to make
such a report should be compli

than to be cast down by the vocal

ft was pointed out In the meet-
inj that there dees seem to be
such a vocal minority, which con
trols the majority through its
stump-speech condemnation, and
usually the ones who do all of the
condemning of honest students
seem to be from the same minor
ity group which commits the vio

Dr. Cunningham, in referring to

he was bothered by the lack of

are the goals of the student govern

should be a committee of students

A discussion between Boelte and

of students who are unwilling to

promise to help but are ifO. avail-

Preierential
Election Is
Success
' In one of the most successful
I citizenship experinents on record
|on the Elon campus, the Elon stud
ents voted in a presidential pre
ferential election on Tuesday and
Wednesday, November 1st and 2nd,
giving a strong preference for
Richard Nixon and Henry Cabot
Lodge for president and vice-pres
ident of the United States for the
coming four years.
However, fate and the ballots
of more than sixty million Amer
icans reversed the campus results
in the national election held on
Tuesday of this week and denied
the majority of Elon's voting
students their preference. The
campus preferential balloting did
prove a pre-view of the general
election in the immediate area,
however, for voters of Alamance
County and the section surround
ing the college did give a major
ity to the Re|)ublican natioaol
ticket
With a total of 564 Elon students
casting votes in the mock election,
the student voters gave Nixon and
Lodge 309 votes, compared with
251 votes cast for John F, Ken
nedy and Lyndon Johnson. There
were three write-in vote* for Gov
ernor Faubus and I. Beverly Lake
and a single write-in vote for Sen
ators Harry Byrd and Barry Ciold-
water.
A bit of figuring reveals that the
student voters gave the Republi
can nominees 55.2 per cent of the
total ballots cast, compared with
44.8 per cent of the votes for the
Democratic candidates.
The fact that 564 Elon students
voted in the Tuesday and Wednev
day election indicates the strong
interest which the students have
in the upcoming national election.
The number compares favorably
with the number of votes cast in
regular campus elections In which
the students name their own lead-
