WORK IS STARTED OJV ELOPI'S f^EW STUDENT LiriNC-DININC BVILDim
The huge new living-dining complex, which is due to be opsned next Steptember to furnish accommo
dations for 200 women and 100 men, is pictured above. The ground-breaking for the new double structure
to be located north of the Alumni Memorial Gymnasium as the first unit of Elon’s new North Campus was
held on the Friday night of the annual Homecoming Weekend in late October, and workmtJn have now started
preliminary construction work on the project. Completion of the structure has been promised for next
summer, making it possible to house 1,000 students on the campus for the 1968-69 college year.

Cheers!
Be it said, among other
things, of Randleman,
N.C.’s distinctive con
tribution to Elon, Ken
Hollingsworth, that he
stands tall as benefact
or. He has just enriched
my life by forwarding a
copy of Campus Crier,
Vol. VI, No. 1.
I am reminded of a
splinter publication I
modestly report was
created and edited by one
old H. Reid back in his
neanderthal days at Elon.
It was an August paper.
Mainly, because it was
issued during August. It
served as summer school
communication.
The name of it was
Chanticleer. I admit such
was nothing to crow a-
bout, but the college liked
it well enough to pay our
bills,and we had a happy
time. I suspect we just
may have liked our world
better than today’s crowd—
and, yes, we had a little
war going on then, too.
Anyhow, I am indebted
to my friend Hollings
worth and to one of his
journalistic comrades,
David Johnson, who on
Pages 2 and 3, raises
a provocative point:
Should pep rallies and
evaluation of students be
bound to enthusiasm ex
hibited for athletics?
For years. I’ve chafed
at a lapse of attention
in the press for academ
ic endeavor. In my own
paper, one of somewhat
larger circulate and more
regularity of output than
the Crier, 1 try like ev
erything to play up the
kids who win science fair
prizes, who gain Elon
Players roles and who
make dean’s list. John
son, young man. I’m with
you.
I’m hoping, though,none
of you makes the blunder
of doing away with foot
ball rally bonfires. Ra
ther, light ’em bigger
and show up for em.
They can be one of the
more memorable mo
ments of campus life.
True, uttering chants in
cadence around a confla
gration may be one of our
more pagan campus
mores, but then it is no
more far fetched custom
than to press one’s lips
against those of opposite
gender. I understand that,
too, is practiced at Elon.
If this is true, 1 am glad
dened. It’s nice to know
you younger folks per
petuate one of my lega
cies.
Anyway, for what it’s
worth, I agree the pro
per equation between
sports and studies. You
know, the academic bunch
might just consider more
effective exploitation of
its own pursuits rather
than to persist with a
negative potshot at the
sporting types.
And now we come to
Page 6 of the Crier,bear
ing a quaint query: “The
ARTS-FLOWERS
(Continued from page 2)
the Scherzo No. 2 in B-
flat Minor , Op. 31, which
requires the utmost in
virtuosity and control.
The program concluded
with Leonard Bernstein’s
satirical 1944 song-cycle
“I Hate Music,” Here
Miss Rothgeb was in fine
voice throughout; she ob
viously enjoyed this work
as much as the audience
did. I am told that she was
suffering from the flu that
day, which may have been
responsible for her gene
rally poor singing. How
ever, I need make no ex
cuses for Mr. MacDonald,
whose playing provided
the highlights of a most
uneven concert.
A closed mouth gathers
no foot.

tion to use their superior
scholarship, intellectual
achievement and good
moral character to create
a better tomorrow and to

unity.

$64 question — who or
what is H. Reid?” Okay,
Messrs. Hollingsworth
and Johnson, I’ll tell you.
H. is a superannuated
alumnus who didn’t leave
his interest for your well
being when he left Elon
So you know about old H.
Gentlemen, that just
cost you. Send me my 64
bucks.
Stolen balls and rugged
rebounding proved key
factors as the Lenoir
Rhyne Bears turned back
the Elon Christians 68 to
48 in a Carolinas Confer
ence basketball battle on
the Bruin court in Hick
ory on Wednesday night,
December 6th.
The game, which mark
ed the third straight de
feat for the Christians
after they had won their
first three games of the
year, proved to be a close
one through the first half,
with the homestanding
Bears holding a scant 30
to 28 margin at the break.
The Christians came
back after trailing by the
two-point margin at the
half and moved quickly
to a 35-30 advantage, but
Lenoir Rhyne brought
senior forward Joel Car
roll off the bench to pace
a Bear comeback through
the remainder of the game.
The Lenoir Rhyne sub
stole the ball four times
and chipped in with two
field goals and five of
eight shots from the
charity stripe, and his 9-
point total figured heav
ily in the Bruins’ winning
drive down the stretch,
for his fine play seemed
to fire his Lenoir Rhyne
mates to super play in the
final portions of the game.
Mark Lamoreaux, LR’s
6-8 center, topped both
teams with 16 points for
the night, and Dana Ol
son hit 14 and Bill Davis
11 for the winning Bears.
Henry Goedeck and Tom
McGee each had 13 points
to lead the Elon attack,
but no other Christian
players could reach dou
ble figures.

Why Is IT?

they normally would not
have taken. Professors
teaching these courses
stated that in their be
lief a majority of the
students did better than
they would have if the
regular letter grading
system had been in effect.
I have no idea of any
pat solution to this prob
lem, but I do feel that as
long as the present grad
ing system is in use,
the problem of course
and professor selection
will continue to prevail
as a possible determining
factor for a student’s fu
ture job opportunities.
