The Elon College Student Gov-
jniment Association sent eleven
delegates to the annual State Stu
dent Legislature, which was held
in Raleigh on Thursday, Friday
and Saturday, February 17th, 18th,
and 19th, the purpose of the annual
statewide gathering being to pro
vide an opportunity whereby stu
dents of North Carolina can as
semble as representatives to a
General Assembly and through the
living experience of the legisla
tive process come to appreciate
the concept of representative gov
ernment and to realize fully the
responsibility of citizenship.
The State Student Legislature is
set on a bicameral system, similar
to the regular North Carolina State
Legislature. There are two bodies,
the Senate and the House, with

The tv>'o pivjiurcs shown above portray views of the construction work on Elon’s two new campus
buildings, the new men’s dormitory in the southeast corner of the walled campus and the new student
enter located on the oval ju.st south of Alamance Building. The picture shown left above, with the
piles of material covered and protected from the weather by huge sheets of plastic, is at the site of
the new men’s dormitory, and the very fact that the materials are so protected from weather indi
cates the extent to which the recent snows and rain and cold has hampered the progress on the
building. The picture at the right is on the site of the new student activities center and shows the
progress made in digging out the foundations for the building. The Elon officials, who originally plan
ned to have the two buildings ready for occupancy next September, recently stated that the struc
tures will not be ready before October.

Elon College’s Year oc
Is Ready For Printers
T!
The announcement this week
that the forthcoming 1966 edition
ol the Phi Psi Cli, the Elon Col
lege annual, has been completed
and sent to the printers was an
occasion of great joy for the edi
torial staff of this 1966 edition of
the campus yearbook and also
marked the successful beginning
of the second half century of year
book publication.
This upcoming 1966 edition will
be Volume Number 51 of the Phi
Psi CU, which was founded and is
sued its first volume back in 1913
under the auspices and sponsor
ship of the three literary societies
then operating on the Elon 0)l!ege
campus.
In fact, the very name of the
annual was formed by combining
the first portion of the names of
those three societies, which were
the Philogian Literary Society for
young men, the Psiphelian Liter
ary Society for young women and
the Clio Literary Society for young
men.
Monumental efforts have gone
into preparation of the fifty edi
tions of the Phi Psi Cli that have
already been publishe', and just
as monumental have been the ef
forts of the editorial staff for this
