Page 4 MAROON AND GOLD FRIDAY. October 11. 1968 Reid This FOUR NEWCOMERS ADDEDTO ELON ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF FOR 1968-69 wmamr a Name Calling In my time, N. C. State was always called Cow College. Then they went and made it a university, and now it’s Moo U. Us? I’ve heard Elon re ferred to as Leon Col lege. Meredith: Angel Farm. Presbyterian College gets off easily. It’s known as P.C. It doesn’t aspire to university status. Ob viously not. If it did,we’d have P.U. Duke, many times. I’ve seen with a P substituted for a D. Sorry I brought that up. Pestalozzi - Froebel Teachers, I guess needs no nicknames. East Carolina Univer sity used to be East Car olina Teachers College, or, if you will, EasyTea- sey. Mars Hill in some cir cles, is Mole’s Hill. Rutgers, alas becomes Rot Guts. Lenoir Rhyne has been called a number of things, the most offensive of which is Watermelon Rind. William and Mary has a time during football games. Opposing cheer leaders are wont to chant, "Rah! Rah! William and Mary! You take Will iam. We’ll have Mary.” In the Wilson, N.C., newspaper, A. C.C. means Atlantic Christian College. Most every place else, it designates Wake Forest, Duke , State, et als as members of the Atlantic Coast Confer ence. Emory and Henry dou bles as Emmie’s Hen nery, Hampden Sydney’s football forces are bill ed simply as the Sid neys. Their arch-rival, Randolph-Macon, is kid ded as Randy’s Bacon. And there’s the thing I’ve heard applied to High Point. I forget all of it, but the first word is Hoss. BENJAMIN FRANKLIN “They that can give up es sential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety de serve neither liberty nor safety.” Historical Review of Pennsylvania Elon Doubles Enrollment Since 1960 The Elon College en rollment has more than doubled since 1960, ac cording to figures com piled and announced today from the office of Dr. J. E. Danieley, Elon’s pres ident. The enrollment report shows that Elon has a total of 1,729 students attending the day-time classes for this fall se mester of 1968-69. This figure compares with a total of 844 students in the fall of 1960 and it also shows an increase of 374 over the enrollment figure for daytime stu dents just a year ago in the fall of 1967. While this represents an increase of 27.6 per cent over the daytime en rollment a year ago,there has continued to be a slight deciease in the registra tion of Evening School students. There were 99 Evening School students last fall, compared to 88 enrolled this year. The combined enroll ment for Elon’s day and night classes this fall is 1,817, compared with a total enrollment of 1,454 last fall. This represents an increase in total en rollment of 363 over last fall, an increase of al most 25 per cent in the total registration over that of last year. In the fall of 1967, there were 737 dormitory students. This fall Elon has 1,082 students living in the dormitories. The increase has been made possible by the comple tion and occupancy of two new dormitories and a new cafeteria and student union facility. JOHN F.
