the advisabiUty and practica
bility of a youth service program
was undertaken by the Colorado
Stale University esearch Foun
dation. On the basis of its report
and similar studies by private
research organizations, an Ad
ministration bill to Establish a
youth service program will be
presented to Congress within the
next few weeks.
The following is taken from
an article by Representative
Henry S. Reuss in the February
1961 issue of the “Progressive.”
In a talk at Cornell University
in Ithaca, N.Y., 1 suggested the
idea of a Point 4 Selective Serv
ice for young Americans, neither
busytK>dies nor misfits, with
some degree of expertness, and
a willingness to serve their
country for a tevf years in tar-
off places, at soldiers pay, IS
THE GREATEST ADVENTURE
OF THE AGE. The response
there-—are wherever else I have
discussed it—was electric.
Here fellow students is a chal

more information I will be glad
to talk with you.

This week I have selected an
other senior man to be be the
student of the week. This senior
is one of the strongest support
ers of student government on
this campus and has been one
of the most active members of
the Student Government Assoc
iation for the past several years.
I hear4 some one comment just
the other day that this student
was the most dependable person
on campus! If you have ever
been in any of the Senate meet
ings on Wednesday night you
know the warm personality of
David “Alf" Plaster. A person
who believes in getting things
done in the right way! Liberal
hut firm and always on time.
This is the kind of men this in-
stittion needs—dependable!
Alf is a senior from Bassett,
Va., is president of the seni*r
class, has served as a member of
the Student Senate for several
years, has been a member of the
varsity track team and active in
intramural sports. A major in
business administration and eco
nomics, he is a member of
Kappa Psi Nu. He has laeen one
of the most active and outstand
ing members of Kappa P^. Alf
was also listed in Who's Who this
year. Alf makes his exodus this
May and will be missed!

The Revision Committee of
the Student Senate has been
working on the revision of the
revision of the Constitution of
Elon College for the past sev
eral months. The entire student
body will vote on the changes
late this semester. Alf Plaster
is chairman of this committee.
Another group of students
has t>een looking into the Honor
System and the attitude of stu

There were no endowment funds
for the young college. It was not
until the Convention session held

adopted a plan to “raise money
annually’ from the CoRferences
and through local churches for
Elon College, The churches were
asked at that time to raise a sum
equivalent to an endowment of
$36,000 at five per cent interest,.

First Building Described

“Administration Building," was

To certain faculty members
who have been worried about
fraternity pledges—have no fear
they don’t really bite! They
won’t bother you or take up the
railroad tracks unless you give
them good reason to do so;
Marching is a necessary part of
the plan for making better men;
I don’t know why but I always
think of Frank Lawrence or Pat
Patterson when I come to this
part of Scribendi;
It is true that tome people are

“The building is three stories
high, 129 feet long, and 57 feet
from front to rear, with an octag

running up 104 feet. The outside is
of pressed brick and presents an
imposing appearance. On the first
floor are 13 recitation and lecture
rooms; and on the second floor
a chapel 71x56 feet, which can be
made 29 feet longer by means of
folding doors when additional
room is needed; a reading room,
an office and five music rooms; on

“Some of the rooms are 18 feet

lighted and ventilated. The win
dows are large and provided with
weights so they can tie raised and

over inside doors. It is hoped that
other advantages and conven

way of electric lights, etc., thus
making Elon College the joy and
pride of our people, a great center
of influence, a blessing to human
ity and a glory to God.”
East Dormitory Built Early
East Dormitory was constructed
about the same time as the “Main
Building.” It provided housing for
young women and for some faculty
families. It has been reported to
