REID THIS
THE CHAMPS..
THE ALL-STARS
You start getting old after your
first Elon alumni meeting.
Only then do you realize that
you've been away from the books,
Alamance Hall and the good neck
ing places longer than you care
to admit. Every time I check into
the Norfolk chapter meetings. I
feel older than Senior Oak.
This year, for example, a pleas
ant fellow from Portsmouth by the
name of Sears sat down across
from me. His,charming wife was
somewhat sadly admitting that
hubby had been away from play
ing football and editing Maroon
& Gold sports pages since the
mid-Fifties. So you think I was
igoing to console her by saying I
left in 1944?
Then the alumni banquet, itself
—ah, good, gentle readers. What
memories. Just like Elon. Exactly
like Elon in the Forties. Very little
food and one paid dearly for it.
How many years has it been since
I left a dining hall to fill up at a
drug store. As I did after the
chapter get-together.
It’s at an alumni meeting, too
you see what happens to your
close companions. At this meet'
ing, there was my old clubhouse
roomie. They’ve taken the club
liouse away, but my roommate has
added a k>t to his frame.
Too, you see young people, very
young folks, you feel, mAing their
imark at the old school, and they
don’t go around painting class
numbers on the post office to make
their marks, either. That ’48 on
the old post office (it’s still there;
I checked) is about the only leg
acy I left at Elon, and even that
wasn’t my own class number. It
was a favor for the freshman class
when I was a junior. Yet, I guess,
in a roundabout way. I’m as proud
of that as I am in seeing the po
tential the kid from Elon showed
in singing for us fogies at the
meeting. I mean it takes some do
ing to get up there and sing “Syl
via” to a bunch of people who’re
itohing to see movies of George
Wooten in that cliff hanging Ca
tawba football game. George told
me before the meeting that “he
got that ball and ran.” By Ned.
that made me feel go*d. When I
was down there, our updated ver
sion of ”23 skiddoo, but. oh, you
kid,” was. “Elon’s got the ball.”
Sure enough, those movies prove
Wooten is. among other things,
truthful fellow. Indeed, "Elon got
the ball.” Klon also ran devilishly
well for the Fighting Christians
It was heartening to hear the
spontaneous "Elon’s got the ball
whispered about the hall when
George Tucker ran off the films
though.
I think the thing that made me
feel my years was Bill Terrell
the alumni guy. Maybe you see
only the official side of him. Eton
let that fool you? Or the grey
hfir. This old boy talks like
junior student at an alumni meet
ing. He recalled some of the best
campus pranks you ever heard
Some. I reluctantly confess, topped
our own. making me all the more
homesick for Elon. Terrell’s a good
choice to console aglfig alumni
Besides, he reads this column
That automatically nvakes him
good choice with me.
The best, perhaps, comes last
Doc Smith, the man 1 knew as
• formal, somewhat fatherly col
lege president with cutaway coat
and sombre advice for students at
Elon College who were wasting too
much time (a stock chapel speech
topic good for three times a year,
at least) was there telling stories
we used to kick around in under
graduate days. And Doc Smith’s
DO sophomore. He’s retired. With
each alumni meeting, be gets
friskier and his stories do, too
Skip what I said about feeling
old at alumni meetings. It doesn’t
always work that way on every
body.

Tall Belmont Abbey Quint
Defeats Christians By 64-59
Who’s Who
-.Ooiitinued From Page One)
The Belmont Abbey Crusaders,
taking advantage of their towering
height to control the defensive re
bounds. turned back the Elon
Christians 64 to 50 at Belmont
last Saturday night in a non-con-
[prence cage battle.
Danny Doyle, a dead shot Irish
man. got hot early in the Saturday
night battle at Belmont Abbey, hit
ting five floor buckets and seven
of seven free throws for 17 points
in the first half, and hit shooting
paced the Crusaders to a decisive
36 to 23 margin at half-time.
Meanwhile, the Elon basketeers
were having their difficulties in lo
cating the basket, missing on
many close shots and losing the
rebound battle to towering John
■Von Bargen and his mates, which
meant that the Christians were
getting no second chances when
their shots failed to fall. Jug Irvin,
with 13 points in that first half,
was the only Elon player able to
hit.
WAA Plans
Full Program
For Winter
The Women’s Athletic Associa
tion, which has just concluded its
intramural volley ball season, has
planned an active winter program,
which got underway with a Christ
mas party on Monday afternoon
of this week and wfll continue
with both intramural and extra
mural basketball play.
The Beta Omicron sorority vol
ley ball team won the regular
season title, adding to its campus
crowns won during the past two
years, but the Delta Upsilon Kap
pa girls defeated the B.O.B. vol
ley ball squad in the elimination
tournament to take the 1960 camp
us championship.
Judy Burke has been named
manager for the intramural bas
ketball play, which will begin aft
er Christmas holidays. The WAA
vrill also sponsor a basketball team
to play games with similar organ
izations at Guilford, Woman's Col
lege and other neighboring insti
tutions. This team is open to all
Elon girls, and a regular practice
schedule will be announced.
Among those on committees for
the Christmas party were Chris

Among the new books on the
shelves of the Elon College library
is one highly enlightening volume
on the financial structure of Uie
United States, written by A. C. L.
Day and Sterie Beza and entitled
MONEY AND INCOME. The book
is a must for students of finance,
f-or its deals in excellent style with
monetary matters, investrfients
and banking, giving insight to the
world into which many Elon stu-
age of the first half was too great
to be repaired. Irvin, who finished
with 23 points, was the only Elon
player able to hit double figures.

Our student body was repre
sented last week at several state
wide meetings. Going to Ral
eigh to the State Student Legis
lative meeting last weekend
were CUff Hardy. Alf Plaster,
Don TerreU. Lynn Ryals and
Rodger Grimson. At the same
time Ed Boelte. president of the
Student Body, and Bill Hassell,
secretary-treasurer of the S.G.
A., went to Chapel Hill for the
Human Relations Seminar dis
cussing the topic "Problems and
Promise in a Changing South.”
This seminar was held on the
University of North Carolina
campus for history majors.
Dr. W, J. Andes, speakkig to
the congregation of the Elon
College Community Church, re
cently asked the group to con
sider the question: "What Do
You See.” As we go into the
Christmas vacation and season,
we know of no more appropriate
question to ask all ourselves.
As Dr. Andes pointed out, too
few of us will really see the
glory of God and peace on earth
in this Christmas season. We
will be distracted by noise on
the streets, shoppers, gifts, part
ies, and other relatively unim
portant details.
Wouldn’t it be fine if during
this Christmas season all of us
would search for the real sig-
ndficancc of Christmas, would
think about the advantages we
have, would do something to
make Christmas a little bright
er for someone less fortunate
than ourselves, and would con
sider carefully how we, as an
individual, might help in a small
way to bring peace to our world.

and Ken Smith hit to put Elon
ahead at 9-8 after 5:15 of the first
half, and the Christians held the
front for five minutes. Rosenbluth
then found the range and shot his
team to 44-35 edge at half-time.
Captain Ken Smith bucketed
four field goals in the first two
minutes of the second half as Elon
knotted the count at 45-all, but
Rosenbluth -took charge again at
that point and teamed with Ray
Stanley to grab a lead that the
AU-Stars held the rest of the way,
widening the margin to as much
as eleven points at times.
Tops for the night for both teams
was Rosenbluth’s 24 points, but
Tony Radovich hit 18 for the vis
itors, and Ken Smith and Jug Ir
vin each contributed 18 points to
share the lead for the home-stand-
ing Christians.

Students Are
Santa Claus
For Group
The Elon (College students par
took of the real spirit of Christ
mas when members of the student
body will join once more in playing
Santa Ci«us to the boys and girls
of the Cori'^egational Christian
Home for Childi^ni whoss Campus
adjoins that of t^“ college. The
occasion will be the ai?nual Christ
mas party for the children, which
will be held in McEwen Z'ining
Hall at 7 o’clock on Tuesday nit,'lit.
This Christmas party for thi.''
youngsters from the Home for the
children, sponsored this year by
the college’s Pan-Hellenic Council
is not a new one on the Elon Col!
lege campus, for the 1960 .event
marked the fourteenth year that
the college students have played
host to the youthful guests, and
parties of both this year and past
years have proven that the college
students get just as much fun from
the annual gathering as do the
youthful guests.
The first Yule season party was
staged in 1947 under the sponsor-
ship of the Alpha Pi Delta fra
ternity, with individual credit go
ing to Ralph Edwards, who was a
member of the fraternity and
president of the Elon student body
at that time. The Alpha Pi Delta
boys have sponsored the party
through the years, but this year the
project was staged by the entire
Pan Hellenic Council, composed
of four fraternities and four sor
orities on the campus.
The Greek-letter groups com
prising the Pan-Hellenic Council
all participated in the plans for
the Tuesday night party, working
under the leadership of Tommy
Carlberg, of Hampton, Va., who
is a member of Kappa Psi Nu fra-
tcmity and also president of the
inter-fratemity council.
Other Greek groups taking part,
with their representatives listed
were Alpha Pi Delta, Don Lauver,
Harrisburg, Pa.; Iota Tau Kappa,
C. G. Hall, Leaksville; Sigma Phi

The goody bell sounded, calling
Reg and his cohorts to lunch. His
poor overworked brain was now
shriveled up to the size of a brain
which had been shriveled up from
overwork, and his head on top
looked sort of funny, and he wasn’t
particularly hungry, but he always
took in chow just to see the sur
prise, and today offered a going
av/ay surprise. It was, as usual,
different. As to what and how dif
ferent, I won’t say, but I wiU tell
you that Reg was last seen emb
ling somnambulistically through a
patch of woods, singing Christmas
Carols about Slater’s pop test and
a short-sheet term paper by some
Frenchman in history class who
iced his trash can with Rapid
Shave and tore up his floor plan
of Virginia Hall.
Have a cool yule, and set a
trap for Santa. I.hope he’s a dame!
