Tom Corbett grew up
at Elon.
To about six feet tall,
I recall.
He may have also ma
tured as a person.
In young Tom, I never
saw a more devoted Elon-
ite nor a worse speller.
I suppose the latter
qualified him as a news
paperman for one of the
Charlotte papers. When he
was with the Maroon and
Gold staff, he used to
get immeasurably pro
voked with me if I didn’t
pick his stories apart. By
this time, he was solidly
on his perfectionist kick.
The other day I called
him about a job.
In putting me down, he
said he thought he might
repent all his Elonic sins
at a chapel program,
which, if you discarded
your homework and stay
ed awake, you may have
heard. I suspect you did.
Young Tom can be an
eye-opener.
He probably told you
he was a minor tosspot
as well as he reported
on his transgressions.All
this, I know, was offered
at his own time and at
his own expense to help
you shape up.
“You know, if my sor
ry example helps just one
of you avoid some mistake
that manyof you are going
to make before it’s all
over, then confession of
the whole bit will not have
been in vain.”
That, he meant I
This sincerity is where
I admire Tom Corbett im
mensely. 1 broke a few
rules myself down there,
and a classmate of mine,
a rotund farm boy by the
name of Danieley may
have too, although all that
comes to mind is
Thumpin’ Earl broke up a
no-hit baseball game.
1 think Elon rules might
be where you hack it or
tumble. If you can cope
with them, like ’em or
no, you might make some
real sense out of Mary
lander Corbett’s chapel
philosophy;
“Elon helped me. Be
fore it was over, I think
that I realized who I was,
where I was and where I
wanted to go. Because I
went to Elon, the why was
possible.”
Sage stuff, that, really,
but I bet you all sure did
have a good time Satur
day night.
Plans are already in
the making for another
outstanding Elon Col
lege Homecoming Day ob
servance on the final
weekend in October, with
a full weekend of activi
ties scheduled for the
many old grads who are
expected to return to the
campus for the annual e-
vent.
Candidates for the
Horn scorning Queen will
be nominated on October
16th, with the winner an
nounced at the annual tal
ent show on Friday night,
October 27th, prelimi
nary to the full day of
festivities on Saturday,
October 28th.

Campus Comment
(Continued from page 2)
dances sponsored by the
SGA in the gym.
At present $1'350 has
been paid. No one seems
quite sure how much work
has been done, but the
figure we heard most of
ten was $4,000.
Now the Student Senate
has passed a bill stopping
further payment until, in
the words of the bill,
“satisfactory progress”
has been made on the
project.
If this seems to be a
vague report of what is
not known, it is simply
because no one seems to
have that information.
What exists is a half com
pleted project of obscure
nature and cost. The com
pletion date and date for
payment as well, are un
known. It is a circus of
undefined confusion on the
part of the SGA, and non
committment by the ad
ministration.
The only thing sure to
this point is that the SGA
owes $12,000 from con
cert profits. The recent
bill however, ends even
that small certainty.
There seem to have
been some very serious
deficiencies concerning
the program in the past.
In the first place it is
Incomprehensible that an
arrangement concerning
the transfer of $1:2,000
would be made by “ver
bal agreement.” Such
irresponsible planning
must not be allowed to
recur.
While we realize it was
not entirely the fault of
the administration that
SGA officials did not in
sist upon a written agree
ment it seems equally in
comprehensible that one
was not prepared as a
simple matter of form.
Obviously the blame for
this situation must rest
equally upon the SGA and
the college administra-

tion. Our purpose, how
ever, is not simply to
point a finger of reproach.
We wish to see a solution
reached.
The main problem
seems to be a lack of
definite commitment by
either party concerned.
A simple solution could
undoubtedly be reached if
administration and SGA
officials would negotiate a
simple contract on the
matter,and make it bind
ing. It should include a
description of the work
to be done, the time for
completion, and the divi
sion of costs and provi
sion for their payment.
As it stands now the
situation can hurt the stu
dent body, SGA-admini-
stration relationships and
the reputation of the col
lege. Only prompt action
can rectify it. We suggest
this is an excellent time
for Dale Morrison to
demonstrate his leader
ship abilities. We are
certain he can and will
do what two past SGA
presidents failed to do.
That is to negotiate a fin
al contract for the com
pletion of the gym acous
tical system.
Why Is IT?
(Continued from page 2)
Then there is the per
son who says, “Cigarette
smoke is very offensive
to me and I don’t want
to be around it.” Well,
answer me this! How does
he get to class, scale
the outside walls of Ala
mance? The only other
way 1 know is to walk
down the hall in which the
surrounding air is bound
to contain some form of
smoking “aroma”. Sup
pose he is the type of
person who enjoys dining
out occasionally. I haven’t
come across a restaurant
yet which displays a NO
SMOKING sign. Not even
the original “Hot
Shoppes.”
