PAGE 4 MAROON AND GOLD FRIDAY. JANUARY 31, 1969 ^Reid This i!) • B.O.B.’s Letter Sororities always struck me as organized snobs. I never had much use for them when I was at Elon, but I must ad mit, that B.O.B. crowd now operates in shrewd fashion. Just before the new year, the chapter sent my wife a letter. Real cozy thing it was, too. “It is our desire to keep in touch with all of our sisters and to keep you posted on our acti vities,” it said. Then, it went on to re count fall activities. “We were occupied with rush parties,” the letter said. “Our first party was a country shin dig with the sisters look ing authentic hicks.” 1 wonder. Did that re quire disguises? The group boasts of 20 members and it was after 13 more. “We did not enter a float in homecoming this year,” the letter contin ued, “but we concentrat ed our efforts on a cam pus display.” I know about that. It was a huge coloring book made from old mattress boxes. The girls painted far into the night to have it ready by next morn ing’s judging. ‘We cared for this dis play as a mother cares for a child,” the letter said. “We lived in con stant fear of rain.” Acutally, the young la dies should have worried about something else.The blamed book fell apart at the seams. And I know what Maroon and Gold columnist helped fix it. Modestly, he makes no claim for a share of the second place prize money. Just now, the girls are having a terrible time finding names of past membership. Somebody filched part of the con stitution and the furni ture in the meeting room looks shoddy. Anyway, I think it’s nice the gals got in touch with my spouse to tell her all this. I’m almost at the point of getting over my mad with sororities. Mainly, I was annoyed with B.O.B. back in the Forties because it met on Monday nights. That meant 1 couldn’t see the girl I married. That was the biggest adjustment 1 had to make in wedded life. I couldn’t believe that there my wife was for me, Monday nights and all. tl'-V /TV Booster Spots Given Player Show Two television appear ances within ten days has added interest to the Elon Player presentation of Moliere’s “Tartuffe” on the campus this weekend and on tour of five Bur lington and Alamance Coun ty high schools on five different days next week. Prof. Sandy Moffett and Prof. Ed Pilkington were both guests on Channel 2 in Greensboro about two weeks ago and told of their high school tour and the play itself, and then early this week Channel 2 pre sented a brief portion of the play itself, which proved a fine selling point for the show. MODERN PLAY (Continued from page I) younger than he. Also in Orgon’s home are two children by a former marriage, both fond of their stepmother. One of them is a daugh ter, Marianne, engaged to be married toValere;and the other is a son, Damis, who is in love with Valere’s sister. Such is the family of Orgon when he finds Tartuffe, a pen niless scoundrel, praying in a church and invites the hypocrite home with him. Tartuffe moves into the Orgon home and gains power over the entire household. He asks to marry Marianne, despite her love for Valere, but Tartuffe is physically at tracted to Elmire, Or gon’s wife, and the play offers two scenes in which he is trying to seduce Elmire. The trusting Orgon re fuses to believe the first report, but he cannot deny the second seduction at tempt which takes place while he is hiding under the table in the game room. In the meantime, Tartuffe attains legal control of Orgon’s wealth, but intercession of the king saves Orgon and brings Tartuffe to his just fate. Such was the piot of Moliere’s French play RECORD CROWD SEES ELON BATTLE WITH HIGH POINT (C j It may have been the largest basketball crowd in Elon College history that packed into Elon’s Alumni Memorial Gymnasium to watch the Christians drop a heart- breaker to the High Point Panthers on Saturday night, January 18th, for the gym came nearer to being filled to capacity than at any other game since it was first put to use in January of 1949. The above picture shows a portion of the crowd, which was so large it was necessary to pull out the end seats on the first floor. Attendance was estimated at from 4,000 to 4,200 persons. CHRISTIANS WIN OVER FALCONS (Continued from Pg, 3) During the same period the Panthers ripped the cords with their first five consecutive shots, and it was “Katie Bar The Door” for the rest of the night as High Point rip ped out to a decisive win. The Panthers led by fifteen midway the last half, but Steve Caddell and Pete Johnson came off the bench to pace an Elon rally which cut the lead to six points at one time, but Gene Littles, Danny Witt and Joe Colbert led High Point’s drive down the stretch. The Panthers had five men in double figures, led by Littles with 24 and Steve Tatgenhorst and Danny Witt with 19 points. Elon put four men in dou ble digits, led by Henry Goedeck with 25, Richard McGeorge with 17, Tom my Cole with 12 and Steve when written 300 years ago, and the plot retains its same general form but has a U.S. President in the role originally fill ed by the French king, and the other characters typical of the United States and the Old South of the 1870’s.
