No Sermon
When Red and Brown
are blue, it’s a black day.
I was sore dismayed
when I picked up my han-
dy-dandy Maroon & Gold
to discover that Coach
Red Wilson and Editor
Don Brown both lament
that most ancient of buga
boos, student apathy.
This exists at fire and
brimstone Elon, does it?
I am all the sorer dis
mayed, then.
Doubtless, this silly
column will not trans
form all of you into the
temperament of cheer
leader Sandy Bergman.
I’m no preacher, anyway.
Read on, then, as I pro
mise no sermon.
The thing that annoys
Red was the lacklustre
turnout for the Homecom
ing pep rally. If I were
a persauder, I’d probably
say that if I could drive
down from Norfolkfor the
bonfire, you laggard could
have at least rolled your
bum pusses out of the sack
to walk across the road to
the grande blaze.
One reason the gather
ing may have been sparse
was, I understand, a lack
of communication (be
tween administration and
students. Some of the folk
know not when things were
to happen. That’s what
an underclassman told
me—and if that is the
case, the dadgum powers
that be better get on the
ball, that’s what.
You know, when I was
at Elon, we didn’t even
have a football team,much
less a rooty-tootin’ rally.
1 would have been beside
myself with jollification
if we had have been so
blessed. True, we did
have a sorry wartime
football program of which
I was a member, so you
know we had nothing to
yell about. Looking at a
contemporary case, how
about poor little Mars
Hill College. The admin
istration there just upped
and said fooie with foot
ball. (Obviously, Mars
Hill’s band, cheer
leaders, new stadium,
forjtball team and student
body are going to gain
not much with that rul
ing, e h,ive all of these

WES GILLIAM
The Elon College football squad, which surprised the pre-season experts by grab-
bing down third spot in the Carolinas Conference standings this fall, also did well in OUIlg ClOIl
the post-season all-star pickings with no less than seven spots on the All-Con
ference, All-District NAIA and All-State squads, the seven spots being apportioned
among five Elon players who are pictured above. Burgin Beale won a berth on the
All-Conference and All-District NAIA and an honorable mention on All-State;
Marty Bonnett place d on the All-Conference; Wes Gilliam was named to the All-
District NAIA; Lloyd Kanipe won a spot on the All-Conference; and Richard McGeorge
placed on both the All-Conference and All-State, being the first Elon player since
1964 to land a post on the All-State.
and in high degree of
quality, too. I, for one,
am pleased to shout about
it, and I’m not even in
the immediate midst, ei
ther.
And when I was, our
varsity athletic program
consisted of a basketball
team sporting a 3 and 17
mark. Yet, I recall one
game over at High Point
in which we held them to
a 21-pjint victory mar
gin, a moral win for us.
It was part of a double
header with Wake Forest
playing that Chapel Hill
bunch. Lordy, what a
time. Us raggle-taggle E-
lons, replete with gongs,
bells and sore throats,
outdid rooters of the other
three schools.
Which now brings us to
a coach’s sounding off in
a campus paper...
Bojabbers, I’m over
joyed about that. I’d be
disappointed if he didn’t
show concern. I recall a
basketball mentor at one
of my three alma maters
became most upset when
the students booed when
opposing players tried
foul shots. He walked out

SMILE-A- WHILE
High school students at
an American school in
Europe, children of the
United States Armed For
ces personnel, were giv
en a social studies quiz
in which one of the ques
tions was; “What is a
word which means to give
help to one’s enemies?”
The expected answer was
of course; Treason,
However 23 Ameri
can children answered;
Foreign aid.
On the first day of kin
dergarten the teacher was
explaining that anyone
wanting to go to the rest
room should hold up two
fingers.
-I, ^ moment’s
thought, a little girl near
the back of the room soft
ly inquired, ‘'How’s that
gonna help?”
our thoughts of holly,
mistletoe, Christmas
trees, gifts , and the jolly
old man in the red suit.
As we go about enjoying
the festivities, let us
take time to think about
the meaning of Christ
mas,
You may feel you have
had enough “religion” in
111 and 112; yet, all of
us have occasions when
we did and said things we
should not have, one of
the signs of our lack of
spiritual growth. As col
lege students we owe it
to ourselves to widen our
scope of living through
the pattern set by our
Lord.
During the holiday sea
son we hope you will ser
iously contemplate the
true spirit and purpose of
Christmas. All of us need
to conscientiously dedi
cate ourselves to the
principles demonstrated
by the greatest pi'ofes-
3or of all, the Professor
of Life, whose birth we
celebrate at Christmas.
