Ilk* that Anyway, it was a little ■
iHttsade ol Alamancc County
This boy by the name of Ken
Richards, age of IB. had taken a
24-hour shower
Now, 1 take the Hollywood view-
politt on this none«en*e Setting a
collegiate record for a continuous
showerbath may nc represent too
outstanding an achievement, but,
by gum. It got the name of Elon
College in the papers other than
my own Publicity U publicity, I
■ay, and I like it when people see
the name Eloo in their newspap
ers.
As one ol the most active prank
sters ever to attend Elon, my heart
iest congratulations are In order
for Mr. Richards, assuming he is
still in school I am glad he has
perpetuated a tradition of not-too-
-much mischief If Elon lacked a
little allly doings such as this ev
ery now and then. H would be a
dull old Joint
1 am curious about two facet£ of
Mr Richards' accomplishment. If
he spent 24 hours under the show-1
er. how did hr eat? I shall havej
to forego my second question, re-1
naembering Elon Is a nice, Christ
ian college. I shall leave it tkat
iway.
Now, as a ranking exponent of
campus gags. I have this advice
for young Mr, Richards.
Boy. you pay attention. It will
■»ave you trouble
If you ever pull a stunt like that
shower bath business, don't he for
wasting college water If I were
Earl Danieley. a fellow you may
know who works around the school
there. I would do .>iome quick cal
culating about that $10 bet you
won opposed to the water bill
If I were Earl. I would figure that
water expenditures would be about
10 bucks. And you would pay H
Hichardij. old lad. you made two
mlstake.^
You did this stunt for money
Thi.i is nigh unforgivable A 24-
hour shower should be art for art's
sake
The other thing you goofed on
was telling some wire service
newspaper reporter the shower was
in the Elon dormitory This is Just
dumb You know jiood and well
somebody in the ariminislration
handling campu.s cost,-. Ik goin« to
wonder about the water bill.
Take it from me. you can have
fun for free.
By the way. 1 never lied about
my pranks at Elon
You know why?
I never got caught.

body, and this was done earlier

They were told at that time that a
straw vote was under considera

When the Senate was confront

Hardy called for the referendum
on March 5th. At the assembly.
Hardy remarked that the present
Honor Council was the best and
most representative that we have
had at the *Tleige in years, and
that the system was working more
efficiently and effectively now
than at any other time
When the votes were counted
it was discovered that 365 stu
dents favored the honor system
95 voted that the system needed
revision; and only 37 students vot.
ed against the system. Following
this vote, there is some activity
underway to improve on the basic
system through study and con
structive revision

One can hardly believe that
the one really beautiful day of
last week luckily happened to
be Thursday, March 8th, upon
which day Elon welcomed to its
campus the vice-president of the
United States, Lyndon Baines
Johnson. Fickle March winds
whisked much snow upon Elon
on Monday while preparations
were being made for Founder’s
Day. Most of the ice and mush
had melted by Thursday morn
ing; when t'he army helicopters
carrying honored guests whirred
above the college against a back
ground of clear blue. If Thurs
day dropped a hint of spring,
the hint was simply idle talk, for
Friday, lo and behold, another
surprise package of snow was
bestowed upon us.
It’s strange that whenever a
fresh batch of flakes (and not
corn flakes either, this is the real
stuff) accumulates upon the ex
tremities on campus, so many
ambitious athletes and otherwise
acquire a craving to begin spring
baseball practice, the extent of
which is limited to the realm of
pitching. Obstacles in the path of
perfectly aimed curve balls,
whether glass, marbles, or back
bone. have to be sacrificed for
the cause. It’s a good thing that
only snow, which is reasonably
soft? creates such an urge to
throw, and it’s equally nice that
we have so little snowfall.
Founders’ Day will certainly
be memorable for Elon CoUege,
for the program for the seventy-
third anniversary of Elon Col
lege, for the program for the
seventy-third anniversary of
Elon's founding boasted the pres
ence of Lyndon B. Johnson as
the main speaker at the con
vocation. The friendly manner
and progressive outlook project
ed by the vice-president greatly
impressed students about cam
pus. Some were lucky enough to
get an autograph and to ex
change a few words with the
vice-president. The mere fact
that Vice-President Johnson al
lotted some of his valuable time
to make the trip to Elon College to
help celebrate this annual event
is something to stop and think
about.

What do you say when some
one spends many many silver
coins on a long distance call
only to ask such questions as
"How’s ,the weather?”. "How
are you?” and "What's up?” If
you're bored to tears by such
cliche questions, PAGEANT
magazine has some replies to
what it calls “stupid" questions.
Answer the question "How are
you?” with the probably true
stateoient: “A poor insurance
risk.” When asked “How's the
family,” reply “Don’t pry,” If
