SPORT SPOTS
(Continued from page 3)
tainly it is developing in
to the trickiest team on
the campus. Maybe such
tricky ones should be re
cruited for more ortho
dox college sports, while
they might be able to out
wit the opposition to bet
ter effect. Thus far.they-
have outwitted everyone
as to when the next strike
comes,
I talked with the ser
geant of the Burns Guards
about the problem, and he
stated that neighboring
Guilford faced the same
type of problem last year
and that the administra
tion at our neighboring
institution removed ev
ery vending machine from
the campus.
Faced with the result
ing inconvenience, the
students there decided to
pay for the damage to the
machines and help stop
whoever was causing the
destruction. Now, the
Guilford administration
has returned the ma
chines, with problem com
pletely eliminated.
Perhaps such action
would eliminate the thefts
at Elon, for it would be
a far piece to go to find
a pack of cigarettes or a
drink at midnight if the
vending machines were
gone. Surely, members
of the pernicious team
do not get kicks from
destroying machines, and
I am sure that these ma
chines are not a small
Fort Knox in value of
contents. In fact, I be
lieve someone on campus
would lend needed fnoney
or cigarettes to halt the
problem.
One thing has seeming
ly led to another, and re
cently the entire trans
mission and drive shaft
disappeared from a 1968
Chevelle owned by a dorm
student, and one wonders
whether anything is safe
any more.
Although this new
“team” has seemingly
scored on every attempt
thus far, the time seems
ripe to administer a de
feat. If the campus stu
dents still want their con
venient cigarettes and
drinks late at night, they
need to declare martial
law and deal tht knockout
blow to this pernicious
new “sport.”
Red Shirts Win
In Volley Ball
1 he Red Shirts clinch
ed the title in the Co-
Rec Volleyball Tourna-
mi-'nt which ended recent
ly, winning with a 7-1
record. l ied for second
spot were the Tempta
tions and the Tee Kapps.
Members of the winning
team were Pat Berry, Don
Crews, Kalph Moore, Su
sie l itcomb, Phyllis Tur-
byfill and Sue SueSchrie-
ber.
Dr. John L. Snell, now
of the University of Penn
sylvania, a former dean
of the Graduate School at
Tulane University, will
speak in the social room
of McEwen Memorial Din
ing Hall at 8 o’clock on
Wednesday night, March
27th, as the next of the
group of Visiting Scholars
lecturers.
Dr. Snell, who comes
under the Piedmont Uni
versity Center sponsor
ship, will be sponsored
locally by the Contempo
rary Affairs Symposium
and the Department of So
cial Sciences. He will
speak on “The Causes of
Hitler’s Rise to Power”
in modern Germany.

6. Students would learn
to be more mature in their
handling of money, (it is
true that a few Elon stu
dents would be unwise
in their use of money for
a week or so under the
new system, but is not
a mature use of one’s
funds a very real part
of everyone’s education?)
There are, of course,
some apparent disadvan
tages too:
L The present “Pay by
semester’ system's pol
icy on second helpings of
beverages, salads, and
some desserts is truly
hard to beat.
2. The new system
would possibly entail
slightly higher costs
(especially for those few
students who eat three
meals a day, seven days
a week.), but the student
body should realize that
the charge for the pre
sent system WILL be
raised in the near fu
ture.
The auxiliary “pay by
semester” plan would
possibly be offered along
with the new “pay by the
meal” plan and would al
low a student to pay a
lump fee at the beginning
of each semester. He
would then receive a meal
card which would allow
him to select foods worth
a specified amount for
each meal and eliminate
the necessity for him to
carry money for each
meal, (of course students
under this system would
be subject to the same
loss of money for those
meals not eaten as those
under the present “pay by
semester” plan). Thus if
the new plan with its aux
iliary “Pay by semester”
option is voted in,each
student would have more
freedom in choosing the
system most convenient
for him.
The S.G.A. has worked
long and hard to bring
things to the point at which
a student vote could be
taken. It is sincerely
hoped that all dormitory
students will seriously
consider the facts pre
sented here and take an
active interest in regis
tering their opinion on this
vital matter on Monday
evening.
The walls are rising, sometimes it seems that the progress is slow, on the huge
new living-dining complex on Elon’s new north campus out beyond the Alumni Me
morial Gymnasium and the intramural athletic field, but the authorities still assure
that the $1,250,000 project will be completed by next September and that the building
will be ready to furnish housing for 200 women and 100 men when Elon opens its
new 1968-69 term. The ground was broken last October for the structure, which will
include both residence halls and dining and recreation facilities.
GOEDECKTOPS

points per game, which
tops the all-time career
average of even 20 points
set by Jesse Branson.
Only Branson with 2,241
and Dee Atkinson with
1,839 points have scor
ed more total points than
Goedeck.
The showing of Richard
McGeorge and Bobby At
kins, both of whom miss
ed much of the early-sea-
son play, was a bright
spot. McGeorge during
the final 16 games of the
season averaged 12.8 re
bounds per gams and hit
20 points or better in four
games. Bobby Atkins, who
was out of competition
last winter, averaged 16
points per game during
the final 14 games of the
year, and he was over the
20-point mark five times
in the late season.

ARTS-FLOWERS
(Continued from Page 2)
works revealed a true
artist. The program con
cluded with four Ameri
can songs no, not
“Shenandoah,” these
were art songs. Now that
I’ve started, I may as
well come right out and
say it: the way most A-
mericans (including mu
sicians) disregard or ig
nore their own music is
nothing short of disgrace
ful, so I must compli
ment Mr. DeVoll for al
lowing us to hear some of
it. He sang “Waikiki” by
the impressionistic com
poser Charles T. Griffes
and three pleasant pieces
by a modern composer.
Alec Wilder, whose works
are firmly in the roman
tic tradition.
Mr. DeVollprovedtobe
a fine musician who takes
his work very seriously.
His interpretations may
lack some fire and pas
sion, but, to his credit,
he avoids the exaggerated
mannerisms andemotings
of many tenors who think
they have to play Tristan
all the time. As for Mr.
Quillian, who seems to
have quite a reputation of
his own around here, his
accompaniments were al
most impeccable, without
ever taking the limelight
away from the vocalist.
Honorary Degrees
