from student body tees this fall) SECTION H. The Homecoming
The first step in planning the
annual Elon College Homecoming
event, which is set for the final
weekend in October, was the adop
tion by the Student Senate of a
standard procedure in selection of
the Homecoming Queen, who is to
rule over the weekend festivities.
In past years there have been
no definite rules to govern the
selection of a Homecoming Queen,
and both the nomination and bal
loting has varied from year to year.
It was to remedy this situation that
the Student Senate adopted the
following rules at its September
27th meeting.
SECTION I. The nomination for
the Homecoming Queen shall be

tee, $89.02 for films, $81:51 for of

of beanies, $10 for cheerleader ex
pense and 60 cents for telephone
calls. This left the balance on Sep
tember 27th of $5,904.30.
This accounting of student funds,
released after the September 27th
meeting of the Student Senate,
was compiled by Don Rankin,
chairman of the finance committee
of the Student Government organ

The story of the play begins
when Noah starts his voyage with
his wife, his three sons and three
of the neighbors’ girls, along with
the animals embarking on God's
ark in the hope of a brave new
world. When at last the rain is
over, the grand beauty of the wat

they dance with exuberance around
■te deck In the dawn of a golden
age.
However, the canker of the old
world has crept aboard the art.
for Ham is a sore spot, and he
taunts his shipmates with old mis
givings. Then the play becomes
