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.
N*t all of a college education in found
In books, and students who grasp the op
portunities that are theirs in such extra
curricular activities often find in atter
life that knowledge gained from varied
campus activity is quite as valuable as
that which was gained from between the
covers of the textbooks.

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

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. So I would like to reverse the
question and ask of the original askers. ~
Does the Chatter Box, or any otlier col

What happened to our weekend enter
tainment? 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

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

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.

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
