grams in June and Au
gust, each with its re
lated events, marked the
graduation of two large
groups of seniors from
Elon College, all of which
made a strong impact on
the lives of many people
and the college itself.
(7) CULTURAL WEEK-
The second annual Spring
Cultural Week, which was
staged on the campus in
April under sponsorship
of the SGA’s Liberal Arts
Forum brought a very
fine series of programs
to the campus for the
benefit of both students
and faculty.
(8) CAMPUS ELEC
TIONS—The annual cam
pus elections, also held
in April, saw Elon stu
dents balloting to choose
their SGA leaders and
also leaders for the var
ious class groups.
(9) ENTERTAINMENT -
There was a very fine
program of campus en
tertainment provided at
frequent intervals dur
ing the year, including
programs by the Elon
Choir, the Elon Band, the
Elon Players, the Col
lege-Community Orches
tra and as numbers of
the Elon Lyceum pro
gram.
(10) MUSIC CAMP —
One unusual event which
attracted public interest
to the Elon College cam
pus was the annual East
ern Music Camp, held on
the Elon campus last
summer, with a series
of very fine musical con
certs staged during the
weeks when the camp it
self was in progress.
Naturally, there were
other interesting stories
covered by ^ the Maroon
and Gold during the year,
but careful consideration
places the above ten stor
ies in the top spots in
news interest and in last
ing impact on the college
and its people.

The newest thing one
can think about is the
batch of quizzes that are
upon us. To some they are
better known as final ex
aminations; to others they
are called names which
are not printable.
While home during va
cation I was speaking to
some friends who attend
various colleges. We
were comparing classes
of instruction, the differ
ent types of professors,
the different types of co
eds, etc. Of course Elon
doesn’t compare with the
big Universities, but it
does rank high with other
small colleges.
One of the main top
ics of conversation was
final examinations. Some
of my friends, (and I am
sure a lot of yours), have
their finals before Christ
mas. This to me is an
ideal way to end the fall
semester. The ones who
do have exams at that
time start school right
after Labor Day and are
done a few days before
Christmas. The second
semester starts in the
middle of January. By
doing this the students
have almost a month’s
vacation.
I have spoken to a num
ber of students and fa-

culty members here at
Elon, and they all seem
to favor that system more
than the one which is em
ployed here. The main
viewpoint seemed not to
be the real long vaca
tion, but instead it meant
not having to come back
knowing in two weeks you
have to start finals.
This brings up the point
of semester break. Hav
ing studied for a solid
week, keeping all kinds
of wierd hours, banging
your head against the wall
or any hard object for
that matter, we finally
get a break. But is this
really a break? Within a
few days we are right
back at it, with new cour
ses, new professors, new
schedules, but the same
old headaches. With final
exams before Christmas
vacation all of this would
be eliminated.
This is really some
food for thought. Ponder
over the idea and if you
have any comments send
to ‘Comments” Box 3517.
They will not be printed
but compiled for concen
sus of the student body.
GOOD LUCK ON YOUR
EXAMS!
The Maroon and Gold
is one of the few tradi
tions still surviving at
Elon. Its style, tone, and
atmosphere have been
consistent throughout
many years. The only ma
jor change came two
years ago when the M.
and G. ceased to be print
ed on campus and shrank
from seven columns to
five.
The M, and G. is, to
use the phraseology of the
administration, a house
organ. To my understand
ing, this means that the
Maroon and Gold is to
be considered an integral
part of the public rela
tions program and seeks
to foster a good image
for the school.
The Maroon and Gold
is sent to most of the
high schools in this area.
For this reason an ef
fort is put forth to in
clude all the noteworthy
events on campus, even
if it means publishing
“news” a few days after
it has happened. A ten-
day deadline also hin
ders our attempts to pub
lish the news when it hap
pens, but no campus
newspaper of the weekly
or bi-weekly type tries to
compete with dailies on
spot news.
The Maroon and Gold
has been criticized by
some students, including
this writer. However, in
view of the editorial pol
icy set by the administra
tion it is doing its job
very adequately. Can any
one accuse the M & G
of not being “ dedicated
to the best interests of
Elon College, its stu
dents and faculty. .
as stated in the mast
head?
If Elon students real
ly feel need for a pa
per with a different edi
torial policy which will
include senate news,
more feature articles on
students and faculty, and
fresher news of current
campus topics, all bud
ding journalists should
come forth. We students
have no right to com
plain or criticize when

we are not willing to work
to organize and publish
what we want.
This column is in fa
vor of a student publi
cation which offers fresh
news and logical discus
sions and evaluations of
current campus topics.
A student publication with
these qualifications could
be simple in form: an 8 x
1 I sheet, printed front
and back. It could be pub
lished much more often
than once a week, per
haps twice a week.
If other students feel
that there is a need for
some publication bridging
the gap between the edi
torial policies of the M.
and G. and the “Campus
Crier,” you should make
your wishes known. Mayl
suggest that you consult
SGA President Dale Mor
rison. While you are talk
ing, why not volunteer
your services?
Another tradition at
Elon is the annual choir
tour. The singing ambas
sadors of Elon College
have made many trips to
Washington, D.C.; New
York; and the New
England area; but in the
past three years their
travels have been within
the borders of North Car
olina and Virginia. Not so
this year! The Elon Sing
ers headed south to Geor
gia and Florida to per
form the traditional Mes
siah.
After a tremendous
sendoff, featuring a spe
cial “care package” of
delicious baked goods
prepared by the bakers in
the dining hall, the Sing
ers experienced an ex
citing five days of riding,
performing, and fun and
fellowship.
I am sure I can speak
for all the members of the
choir in expressing my
gratitude to all those who
made the trip possible.
Special thanks goes to
Professor Bartholf and
Dean Moore, who accom
panied the choir on the
tour.
