The 1964 Elon Homecoming fosii-
val turned out to be one of the bej*
ever, with good crowJs for :>11
three days of the celebration and
with wonderful weather as a comp
lement for the observance.
Gwen Hancock, of Fairfax, Va„
was named Homecoming Queen at
the big talent show on Friday
night, and her weekend reign proved
to be an exciting one. At the talent
show, still dressed in the costume
she had used in a previous act,
she was presented by the Board of
Elections chairman, Roni George,
and was serenaded by the Elon
College Quartet.
Saturday noon found the Home
coming Queen preparing for the
annual parade through BiU'lington,
a parade which featured over fifty
units, including seven bands, danc
ing girls, floats, sponsors and cheer
leaders. all preceding the Queen’s
float. She was accompanied on the
float by the four chief attendants

Ferguson, of Durham, Jeanne Fior-
rito, of Greensboro, Vicki Hard-
ister, of Aberdeen, and Sandy Nagy,
of Allendale, N. J., all of whom
had been finalists in the student
balloting for selection of the Home
coming Queen.
At the half-time festivities for
the annual Elon-Catawba footbaH
game, organizational sponsors and
their escorts were presented to the
crowd before the Queen and her
royal court appeared and before
the Queen was crowned. Both the
Elon marching band and the Ca
tawba College band participated in
the half-time show.
After victory in the annual foot
ball fiesta had been clinched by
the Fighting Christians, who staged
a truly sensational rally to win by
a 22 to 17 count, two of the campus
fraternities held Open House for
their alumni members. The Alpha
Pi Deltas entertained at the Lam
beth House, and the Sigma Mu
Sigma boys entertained at the
Neese House south of the campus
with a cookout and folksing event.
Tim Gifford, of Norfolk, Va.,
chairman of the Homecoming com
mittee, announced the winners of
the talent show, the campus dis
plays and the parade floats. Sigma
•nu Sigma won firsts in the talent
show and in the displays, along
with second place in the parade
float contest, thus clinching the
SGA plaque award for Outstanding
Overall Participation.
Other winners in the talent show
were the Baptist Student Union and

second behind the Sigma Mu entry.
The Freshman Class had tied for
first, and Alpha Pi Delta came in
third. First prize for the best float

In the second of a series of Oak
land Surveys, the students quest-
.'inod indicated that Lyndon B
.Iohn.„on i.s best qualified for the
presidency of the United States.
T\venty-five of the 41 students que.s-
tioned indicated Johnson, 13 chose
Goldwater, and three were uncom
mitted.
To the question, “In determining
the qualifications of a candidate,
which do you think is more im
portant — what the candidate has
already done, or what the candi
date intends to do?" There were 27
tudents who those the former, an.
nine chose the latter, with four in
.iL-.itiug “both” and one uncom
.niitted.
One of the more interesting re
actions was to the question, “D
, ou think that lx)th candidates ar
good representatives of their re
.,)ective parties?” Twenty-five .stu-
lonts answered “no,” with only 16
replying "yes."
Another key question was, "Do
uu feel that the average American
uter knows enough about each of
;■ candidates to intelligently vot'
for one of them as oppo.sed to the
other?" Surprisingly enough, 32 of
he students .said “no,” while nine
answered "yes.”
Also interesting were the ans
wers to "In your opinion, do you
think there has been any mud
.linging in the campaigns this far?’
The replies include 30 with "yes,'
while five .said "no," and six re
plied "some.”
The students were a-sked, “Do
you think the religious beliefs of a
candidate have any influence on
your decision to vote for or not
,ote for a candidate?” Eight stu
dents felt that religious belief,
should be considered, ,30 felt that
they should not, and three were un
committed.
In answering the question. Which
of the candidates do you think ha

For the past two or three weeks,
students who registered to vote in
their home precincts and applied
for absentee ballots have been busy
marking them in the presence of a
notary so that their opinion will
count.
A large number of commuters
who are registered to vote in their
home communities will line up at
the polls Tuesday with millions of
other Americans. The choice is
theirs, and they plan to make their
vote count.
In the 1960 Mock Election held
on the Elon College campus, the
student body preferred Republicans
Richard Nixon and Henry Cabot
Lodge, but their vote was reversed
in the national election when Dem
ocrats Johiv F. Kennedy and Lyn
don B. John^ion were elected.
