NOVEMBER 11, I960 EXTRA CURRICULAR BENEFITS While doing research in the Elon arch ives. it is interesting to note how many times one finds the same students partici pating in various types of activity. This was true in former years, even as it is today, «nd one surmises that there has likewise been a great many students in each per iod who never take part in any extra-cur ricular activity. It is regretable that so many students pass up in their college years the great opportunity that is open to {hem through the medium of campus activities such as dramatics, music, publications, debating, student organizations, and sports, all of *which offer wonderful chances for im provement of the individual in leadership ■and the ability to mingle with others.

CLIPPED. the chatter box By DORIS FAIRCLOTH After Close Of World War 11 Elon Entered Upon Modern Grid Era It seems that one who has reached col lege age should have come to a definite stage of maturity, an important element of this maluiity being consideration for oth ers. Judging from actions of students on campus such as those shown in the dining liall lines, many of the students here lack that element. Some folks fail to realize that the lines are set up for a purpose, that purpose being tfiat first place is given to first comers, • Some of us seem to have a sense of priv- iledge because we’re too tired to wait in line, becaute we've had a hard day on the field, because we've spotted a friend | that "saves a place" for us in line each one-time Elon meal. Of course these are all perfectly | ^ cnuari By JAMES WAGGONER | ... The 1946 season began the mod- FINAL CHAPTER ern football era at Elon College marking as it did the resumption of grid play after a four-year laps* through World War II. This mod ern era of post-war football has seen the Christians chalk 61 wins, 65 losses and six ties in fourteen seasons through the 1959 cam paign. The Christian mark in Con ference paly during the years since World War II shows 40 wins, 43 losses and five ties. Elon's grid warriors look to the field for the first time in five years during that 1946 season, and the Christians posted a 4-5-1 season 1 record and a 2-4-1 Conference mark. Under the leadership of HOW TO GET ALONG WITH FELLOW STUDENTS A college campus is a community and a food part of your education is the business of getting on with the people who live in it. Roommates: Special attention for: The first rule la respecting privacies. Don’t ask piercing questions about their lives and loves. Knock on doors before you enter. You may want to go to bed early, and your roommate likes to study far into the night. Discuss the matter. Neatness: Your room will be Inspected regularly and thoroughly. Casting your personal belongings idly about the floor may harm them and even upset your room mate Try hanging up your clothes when you take them off and putting your books on the desk when you come in. These will become habits quickly. Repay even the smallest loans, including paper. Borrow clothes only from very good friends and return the favor. The English language is entirely useful. Try it instead of college slang when you’re off campus. — ANONYMOUS. rational reasons, at least it seems so to us, if not to the other students who have been standing in line for fifteen minutes with out moving because of the numerous line- breakers. And we’re happy to be getting our trays instead of still standing at the back of the line where we would have been had we followed the correct proced ures. After all, we believe in the suprem- .acy of the individuals, and since we are dndividuals. we naturally intend to exer cise our supremacy, regardless of all those other individuals who are silly enough t.- wait their turns. The Student Council consists of six mem bers. Their job concerning line-breaking is not to stand watch over the lines in the dining hall, but to try those persons turned in for that offense. It is the respon sibility of the individual student, that is you and I, to report these offenses. It’s a pity that we are willing to enforce only those rules of student government which can be enforced without personal discom fort or effort. This is something of which we all, without exception, are guilty, in regards to other rules as well as the one concerning line-breaking. No one cares to be a "squealer,” especially when one feels that the enforcer rather than the offender will be downcast by student opinion. But is it rigbt for us to allow several selfish, inconsiderate persons inconvenience a hun dred other students in order to maintain the good graces of that one person? After all, (this relaLCE to ALL the rules of the Student Council, Hoonr Council, etc.) the student government system is ours; we made it, and the powers rest in us to en force and maintain it. If we are not going to be willing to be responsible to it and for it. why not do away with it and throw the responsibility of doin^ the "dirty work’’ on someone who would be willing? « • * * • It has been suggested that if enough of us feel the necessity or wish to change any of the rulings in the handbook concerning such things as dorm hours on the night of a big event and accepted eating places, iwe should first seek out the persons re sponsible for said ruling, then proceed to check out the possibilities of amending the rule. Are there any students among the igreat number who complain about cer tain rulings really interested enough in changing chem to put form a little effort to do so if given the opportunity^ if here’s the opportunity—and here’s hoping for a show of efft>rt. * • * • • Many times this chatter box has been asked if she felt that her column actually did any good. The answer to this question can lie only within the readers. No piece of writing has ever done any good except through the effort of readers, whose inter est may be aroused by the material con tained within the writing. The Chatter Box usually expresses the general feelings and attitudes of thOM with whom its writer comes in contact, with the pu^e of informing its readers that the attitudes held by them are shared by num erous others, and hopdn* that their being Informed may result in a combination of forces, whicfa is the only successful means of doing away with, bringing about, or altering a situation that involves a number of j^eople.

Elon closed her sea son with a 14 to 14 deadlock with favored Guilford. Bobby Harris and Dave McClenny were the out standing players for the Christians that year, with Harris topping the scoring with 36 poins and with Mc Clenny as the most consistent ground gainef. The 1947 football season was nearly identical, with Elon posting a 4-6 season mark and a 2-3 mark in Confe»ence play. Elon won over Atlantic Christian 14 to 6, East Carolina 7 to 0, Newberry 3 to 0 on a 22-yard field goal by Jim Huyett and over Erskine 17 to 7. She lost to Davidson 19 to 0, Ap palachian 21 to 13, Catawba 38 to 0, High Point 14 to 7. Lenoir Rhyne 13 to 0 and Guilford 13 to 6, with the Guilford loss being Elon’s first at the hands of the Quakers in fifteen years Claude Manzi, guard, received a berth on the All-Conference squad. Although Bobby Harris scored only one touchdown, he was otitstanding in running with two 70-yard jaunts from scrimmage and with one 90-yard runback of lan intercepted High Point pass.

The Pete Marshburn scored 54 points during the 1960 season, which placed him fifth in the Tar Heel state scoring parade. That season saw the Christians record seven mns, two losses and one tie, with six wins, one loss and one tie in the Conference. For the second straight year Elon placed a man on the Little All- America squad, with Sal Gero hon ored with a first-team berth at tackle. Gero was not only named to the Little All-America, but he was also named to the All-State ■and All-Conference teams. Along with him on the All-Conference team were Hiank DeSimone, guard: R. K.

Aside from the movies, which, by the way, have been exceptionally im pressive, there is absolutely nothing to do at Elon. When the football team is battling on foreign soil, the campus is quite dull. Most of the campus students are from outside the Burlington area and depend on the committees for weekend entertain ment, or resort to watching cars pass by on Main Street, Of course, this proves entertaining on occasion. This is the source of much ill content among students. We hear of so many other places where there are opportunities for social as well as intellectual education. It seems that there could at least be some sort of entenain- ment, maybe dances, a few more jazz con certs and the like. ***** Speaking of jazz concerts, the Sunday following Homecoming was the day when the Charles Lindsey Sextet provided the handful of attending students a variety of real good jazz. I cannot understand the scattered attendance unless it was due to the limited publicity, but for those who knew and didn't attend, this combo's ap pearance was a first for Elon, paid for from your student activity fees. Maybe these things are so irregular on the school calendar that we can't get accusloaied to the idea. ***** From The Watchtower By ANN VICKERS “At least one third of all Elon College students cheat in some form. I believe.’’ ’This pathetic statement was made this week by the Chairman of the Elon College Honor Council. "People come to us (members of the Honor Council) and com plain bitterly about the cheating they have seen going on in some classes,” the Honor Council Chairman continued. "However, these students refuse to give us the names of students they have seen violating the Honor Sys tem.” The Honor Council Chairman emphasized the face that six council members can not pos sibly be aware of and report all cases of cheating and plagiar ism which occur continuiously in our college. “Until the major ity of our students support the Honor System, there win be no hope for the effectiveness of the system,” she said. We bandied twelve cases last year with eleven convictions be ing made. Only when violations are reported to us can we take any action,” she concluded. (Pei- baps we should recall at this point that persons not reporting offenses which they have seen are also violating the System.) “It is common knowledge.” said another well-known campus student leader, "that some of the same written reports being handed in this semester have been here for the past ten years.” We have heard some amazing opinions from students at large concerning the Honor System. A coed remarked in a class recent ly: "Although it is not effective, our honor system should be kept at all cost. Since Elon is a Christ ian school and has a traditional background of honor, we must keep this system for prestige reasons. If necessary, the fac ulty should put on pressure to keep the system.” From another student address ing a class: "Isn’t it true that human beings always break laws, our Honor System for ex ample? After all, does a person who runs a red light usually re port himself to policeman?” An other student answered this way; "That’s why we have policemen —to catch violators. Citizens aren’t expected to turn them selves in and it is that way with our Honor System. After all, what is the purpose of our coun cil?” Another student said she be lieved the student-imposed hon or system should be "completely abolished because it is so inef fective at Elon College. Many students gripe that some professors curve grades, with the persons who have cheated often ending up in the "A” position and with honest students barely making “Cs”. Many of these same students could call specific names of the cheaters involved. Several faculty members have The Lyceum Series is off to a fine start presenting some fine programs, including pianist Fred Sahlmann and lyric soprano Niatalle Bodanya. Most all Elon students are familiar with Professor Sahlmann'u talent, and some of us were fortunate enough to hear Miss Bodanya last year. She was very well received by those who heard her. Students should attend, all of these if possible. They are the most advantag eous offering of intellectualism available here, even though they are not numerous enough in many areas. Of course, students who are really iaterested may travel to Chapel Hill. Durham or Greensboro for thp lectures and symposiums offered there. The Department of Music must be compli mented for its share in this program. ***** A Christmas drama program is plan ned by the Elon Players, Presentation of the brief pr^uction is tentatively sched- remarked that they "probably would not turn in any student caught cheating, but would lower that student's grade instead,” On« professor stated his awareness of cheating at Elon and explained that he always made an effort to regulate his tests accordingly, "I try to give tests that will not lend them- j December 8, 9. and 19. The play selves to cheating,” he said. "The Honor System is a stud ent imposed system. Our hands are tied when it comes to this situation. We are supposed to leave the classroom during exams,” said anoher professor. One faculty member suggested placards bearing an explicit is under the direction of Sam White, a sen ior majoring in English and Dramatic Arts. It’s really good to see the students talcing an active part. Good luck. Sam! The next major play on the Player’s agenda is “The Dcx;tor in Spite of Himself” by the famous French playwrite, Meliere. I think Professor Day’s recruiting program is going to offer better end results than definition of the Honor System i scheduled show, which, unfortu- be placed in each classroom. The Student Body President this week felt it necessary to send letters to the entire stud ent body pointing out reports of “infractions of the Honor and Campus Codes taking place without being reported by stud ents who obferve such offenses.” All students and faculty mem bers to whom we have talked re garding this matter were in total agreement on one point: “Our Honor System will work only when the students want it to be effective and make it so.” We doubt the value of any “preaching” on this subject and do not intend to talk about such tihngs as “conscience”. We have merely attempted to present the Honor Coimcil situation as it is seen by representative people about campus. We contend that (Centinueti on Page Four) nately, was cancelled. There was just too I much in the air to get that one moving. ' Thus far, the bulk of interest has been from the Freshman Class.
