As Elon had no football team at

eleven boys did show up on th«
football field 'roughly, one musicinr

hardly disagree.

Dean Bowden then reacted most

All of a sudden. I realized I had
won the verbal battle, all right,
but I had certainly lost the war.
For one thing, comparison, or, in
this case, contrast of the schools

chosen Elon. If I wanted to look at

money was received to finance the
project.
The ball did not stop rolling with
the completion of the practice field.
This led to interest in other facili
ties being provided. In 1962 the
college spent $1,500 for track forms
and equipment which was to be in
stalled as time [)ermitted. As Coach
Mattocks states. "For two years
Elon has had a saddle without the
horse."
Ui.st year the student government
gave $1,250 toward the renovation
of the tennis courts, a .sum which
led the college to complete the
project, and improved tennis facili
ties have been enjoyed by Elon stu
dents this year. Also, continued im
provement has been made this
spring on the baseball stadium by
Coach Sanford and his squad.
Successes in building the practice
field have led to interest in a mod
ern football and baseball stadium
for Elon. with the planned location
to be behind the gym. and plans
for a swimming pool are included
in Elon's long range expansion
plans.
Also, another new project has now-
been conceived down at the gym.
Money is being sought for a much
needed renovation of the north end
of the gym.
Thus from a need for adequate
facilities has started an avalanche
of active interest and concern about
'he athletic program here at Elon.
When this program is completed
Elon will have excellent small col
lege facilities, at a savings of manv
thousands of dollars to the college
Credit for the program must be
widely distributed. Coach Tucker
states that full credit must go to
Mr. Terrell. Tucker feels that "with
out his efforts to rai.se money and
beg materials, and his work and
general interest the project would

ing in business administration, and
business education, has lust elect
ed Arnold Helfand, of Wilmington,
Del., as president for the coming

Burlington, who was president of
the club for the current term.

Kyker Lake
Project Is
Progressing
Development of Kyker Lake con
tinued on the weekend of May 9tlj
when approximately one-hundred
students showed up at the lake oa
Saturday afternoon to cut do»ii
dead trees, remove undergrowth
over an acre of land near the lake
and clear brush from the south
shoreline.
Judson Bryant, co-chairman of
last year’s development committee
spearheaded the clean-up detail with
the assistance of Pete Fisk.
After two hours of hard labor
the group was treated to an outl
door picnic provided by Slater and
prepared by Chef Johnny Graves,
who is also a religion professor on
the side.
According to Bryant, the project
should progress at a more rapid
pace now that the basic work has
been completed. He said that the
area to the south of the pond would
now be plowed and disced before
being planted in grass during the
coming month.
In regard to the lake itself, Bry
ant reported that it would be drain
ed during the summer at which
time the lake bottom would be
cleaned out.
The project started last spring as
a campaign promise of Luke O’Hara
who ran successfully for the office
of SGA treasurer. With the support
of the Student Government Associa
tion, Bryant started work on the
lake in late Fall.
