Our crowd may amount to some
thing. yet.
Theo Strum ii now Eton’s Dean of
Women. A roly-poly old day student
who went to school with me has be
come a college president. Perhaps
you may know him. Name’s Earl
Danieley And me? I finally got my
B. A. degree. It only took me three
colleges to do the trick, too.
Let us look at Theo, which is not
a bad idea. As I recall, she was a
real looker. In our undergraduate
days, she wore her blonde hair
k>ng and it was wavy. I guess she
had the prettiest hairdo of anyone
on campus. She also had eyes that
laughed, even when she didn’t.
Now that she is dean and must
be accorded respect and all that. I
don't know if I should continue my
graphic description of your august
administrator, but I'm not known
for reservations when they get in
the way of honesty. Theo was leggy.
I assume she still is. If being named
dean has changed that, then I say
to blazes with deans. We don’t need
’em.
n>eo was from Roxboro. only I
think the natives pronounce it.
“Rocks-burr." They skip the final
‘'o". Now let’s see. What else do
I recall about Theo'’ She was well
behaved, particularly around me.
as I recall with some measure of
regret. She played clarinet in our
Greater Amalgamated Elon March
ing Band which, besides Theo,
counted 10 members, one of whom
beat a big bass drum. One letter
of the school name painted on th,
sides had worn off in heavenly fa
shion. That is to say, the drumme-
beat the "L" out of it
Among the less jazzy things Thei'
did while I was at Elon with her
■She worked on the Maroon and
Gold. She was always messinp
around in student government and
educational groups on campus
Seems to me she was good enough
at all this to be vice president of
the senior class and make it into
"Who’s Who In American Universi
ties and Colleges.” Everything she
did W4S to the good for both Bllon
as well as Theo Strum.
There’s one other facet about
Theo you ought to keep in mind
She knows how to listen. She heard
enough of my problems; I know
that. I suggest if you ever need
ivise counsel, check with Theo. She
might say no to you. too. but. as in
my case, she may come up with
some better answers than you ever
bought about.

The Comancheros are holding

'16 yards rushing and 71 yards pass-

The Comancheros "band" con

On the Comanchero line are Jerry
Rowe and A. W. McGee at ends
Randy Warren and Tommy Mitchell
It tackles, and Joe Robinson and
Morris llhomas at guards. Scott
Crabtree and Joe Dawson are the
linebackers. In the secondary are
'ton Foresta and Lamar Clark at
the halfback positions, and Sonny

Three touchdowns have been scor
ed against this group in three
games. Emory and Henry scored
by means of an 11-yard pass. Guil
ford’s lone score came from a 40-
yard run. and a 10-yard aerial kept
.Appalachian in the game for two
quarters.
Emery and Henry and Guilford
K)th tried for two-point conversions.
Both failed. The Comancheros have
held each team that EJon has play-
■?d inside the 10-yard line at least
ince. They held Emory And*Henry
hree times, and put the Appa
lachian game out of reach late in
the fourth quarter with a safety.
Leading the Comancheros is Jerry

The Student Senate, which held
its first meeting of the new year
on September 16th. and since that
time the student legislative body
has acted on more legislation than
in any comparable time in the his
tory of the Student Government As
sociation,
The records show that thirty
seven bills and resolutions have
been brought to the floor of the
senate, thirty-five of which have
been passed. Two of them were
vetoed by Fred Stephenson, presi
dent of the SGA.
Outstanding among the actions of
the Student Senate has been the
allocation of funds for busses to
football games, dances, the Liberal
Arts programs, orientation and other
campus activities. A total of $1,165
has been set up for busses to foot
ball games, and over $500 was set
aside for the Homecoming Dance.
A recent resolution dealing with
the high prices of textbooks in the
College Bookstore requested that an
investigation be made of how the
prices are determined on books and
other articles in the store.

After three weeks in the mount
ains I went to Mayaguez on the
western coast of Puerto Rico, where
I was named trip chairman and
assistant program director. The

the mountains, but the work was

both places the purpose of the pro-

Ix*jeune Game
t
(Continued From Page Three)
a great victory for Elon. which thus
extended its season record to four
wins without a defeat, but it wa.'s
a tough blow for the invading Ma
rines. who saw one 72-yard appar
ent touchdown called back by a
clipping penalty and on two other
occasions saw field goal tries of
their own go astray after 15-yard
penalties had pushed them back
from the very shadow of the Elon
goal post.
The Christian touchdown came
midway the first quarter, with La
mar Clark taking a Marine punt
at the Lejeune forty-two and racing
back 21 yards, Doug Amick slashed
left tackle for a first down at the
ten. Sonny F^uette got five, and
Amick hit off tackle for the touch
down, Ferrell’s kick was wide, and
Elon led 6 to 0 with 8:46 left in
the first quarter.
"Hie Marines brought the kick-off
back to their own thirty-four and
were off on a TD drive of their
own. After three plays Bobby Johns
ton ripped out a first down on the
Elon forty-five, and on the next
play Jimmy Ross was off to glory
with a 45-yard sprint through the
entire Elon defense. Clark Blake
kicked good, and Lejeune led 7 to
6 with 5:15 still on the clock.
’The Marines had a 72-yard pass
play called back from the Elon
end zone in the second quarter by a
penalty, and they missed a field
goal try late in the fourth period
which gave Elon the ball and start
ed the (Christian drive that ended
with FerreU's winning field goal.
Defensively. the Comancheros
have begrudged 169 total yards
through their mighty forward wall,
and 220 yards in the air. Average-
wise. these figures represent 54
yards rushing and 71 yards pass
ing, totaling 125 yards per game.
If present trends continue, Elon
will finish the year with 1730 yards
rushing, 1040 yards passing, and
2770 total yards. This total best?
the 1957 figure by 967 yards. The
Comancheros will allow 1250 de
fensively.
Should these figures pnove ap
proximately correct. Coach Tucker’s
crew will compare favorably in
deed with the 1957 team. In ave
rage yards rushing per game, the
1964 team would lose 231-173 yards
per game, but will win in passing
104-69 yards. In total average yard
age the 1957 team will remain sup
reme by a figure of 300-277 yards.
On defense, the 1964 team would
win 125-182 yards per game.
The conclusion may be reached
from the statistics that the 1957
team was primarily a ground-gain-
ing team, and the 1964 team may
be called a passing team. But sta
tistics do not always tell the com
plete story. The 1957 team could
and did pass well, and so far this
season the Christians have gained
more yardage on the ground. Also,
the 1957 team developed its power
ful rushing attack late in the sea
son. and basically the same 1964
team developed into a powerful
passing team late last season and
have failed to realize this potential
so far this season.
In regard to offensive records for
the season, should present trends
continue, the 1964 team will not
eak any of the college recor'is
The mark for most yards rushing
for a single season stands at 2.211
yards, and was set in 10 games in
1950. The record for most yards
passing is 1.587 yards, set in nine
games in 1951. The most total yards
offense figure is 3,368 yards, set in
10 games in 1950.
It is interesting to note that a
majority of the 1957 team came
from home towns above the Mason-
Dixon Line. This was due to then
head coach Sid Varney, who was
himself from Pennsylvania. The
1964 team lists 39 North Carolinians
This is the result of the work of
Coach George ’Tucker, who is a Tar
Heel himself.
Bi^ Success
The 1964 edition of the Freshman
Tribunal, held in Whitley on Thurs
day night, October 8th, turned out
to be quite a success due to the
efforts and planning of the Soph
omore Class. Held in Whitley audi-
to' ium last Wednesday night. Fresh
men completely filling the lower
section, and upperclassmen looked
on from the balcony.
Over thirty Freshmen had to'
stand trial for violation of Fresh
man rules, most of the violations
involving misuse of the traditional
beanie, and all of them were found
guilty either by the Freshman
Board of Control or by voice vote
from the Upperclassmen.
Once found guilty, the Freshmen
had to pay the consequences for
violation of rules. Some of the
“punishments” dished out by the
Tribunal included cracking eggs
O'er each others heads, finding a
■herry in the middle of a whipped-
creana.pie without the use of hands,
a race with participants pushing
oennies across the floor of the audi
torium with their noses, and a race
from the back of the auditorium
to the front with a cup of water
on each entries head.
Members of the Freshman Board
of Control were Jesse Lee Weaver,
chairman, Gail Campbell, Sam
Troy, Cecil Gwaltney, Jerry (Cam
eron, Gregg Lee, Mike Herbert,
and Don King.
