Christians Seek Revenge
In Third Home Contest
By Gary Dean
The Elon Fighting
Christians will play their
third consecutive 'lome
game this Saturday when
they take on the Presby
terian Blue Hose of Clin
ton, S.C. The game, a
conference battle, will
begin at 8 p.m. in Bur
lington’s Memorial Sta
dium.
Coach Cally Gault will
bring a young team to
Burlington in hopes of up
setting the Christians.
Last season's conference
co-champs were hit hard
by graduation, and as a
result they are forced to
field a relatively inex
perienced team. This
year’s Blue Hose offense
is led by returning vet
erans such as quarter
back Alan McNeil, end
Bill Caldwell, guard Jack
Bames, and backs Fran-

SAN FRANCISCO (CPS)
San Francisco State
President S. I. Hayakawa
has locked the offices of
the San Francisco Daily
Gater, student news
paper, “to protect fur
niture and equipment ...
pending assumption of the
office by the new student
government.”
Hayakawa has a long
standing feud with the Ga
ter, which is officially
suspended from publica
tion but which will be able
to publish on a daily basis
this fall from advertis
ing and personal contri
butions.
The Gater viciously at
tacked Hayakawa in its
first issues claiming, in
one headline, “Hayakawa
seizes associated stu
dents cash office.”
Editor Greg deGiere
was not extremely upset
with the action, but claim
ed, “We have a right to
use the building, ’ de
Giere said the staff will
find a base somewhere
near the campus. Haya
kawa has attempted pro
secuting the Gater in the
courts, but action has be
come bogged down in such
technical questions as
whether the paper can use
the name “Gater” legal
ly.

three losses going into
Saturday night's game.
The lone win was over
Furman, while the losses
have been to the Quanti-

Elon Cagers Look Promising
By Richard Youmans
The Elon College bas
ketball team has started
practice for the 1969-
1970 season. One week of
all - inclusive try-out
practice will be held.
Last year’s team com
piled a won-loss record
of 21-8, which was a very
impressive and reward
ing season. Elon will have
six returning lettermen
but will surely miss the
services of Bill Bowes
and Henry Goedeck, who
graduated last year. Both
Bowes and Goedeck were
on the Carolina Conferen
ce All-Conference team.
Among the returning
lettermen are: Tom Cole
(sophomore-guard), Tom
McGee (senior - guard),
Pat Berry (junior - cen
ter), Wayne Hicklin
(sophomore-center-for-
ward). Noble Marshall
(senior-guard) and Rich
ard McGeorge (senior -
forward).
The offense will most
likely be centered around
both Cole and McGeorge;
Cole being a good ball-
handier and McGeorge a
strong forward, who
starts many plays with
his rebounding ability.
Richard McGeorge has
been on both the Carolina
Conference All-Confer
ence Team and the All-
NAIA District 26 Team.
McGeorge led last year’s
team in total points with
492 and set the confer
ence field goal percentage
record for 1969 with 62
per cent.
Last year’s team set a
record against Greens
boro’s A.&T. University,
having scored 47 free
throws in succession and
51 out of 54 attempts in
the same game.
Among new faces on the
court this year will be:
Larry Trautwien, a 6’8”
center - forward; Ron
Graham, 6’ 6” center -
forward; Jesse Parrish,
6’ 6” transfer from
Louisburg Jr. College;
and Mike Meacham, a
guard who started in 1965
and is back after three
years of military service.
Both Graham and Parrish
played ball in the ser
vice together and should
be assets to the team.
For the first week or so
of practice, fundamentals
will be stressed, espe
cially defense and tim
ing. Asked about the up
coming season and team
in general. Coach Wiggins
said, “we are strongest
at guard, will have one of
the best defenses in the
conference, and if the big
men come through, we
should have a great
team.”
Draft Dodger’s View
BASEBALL TEAM
LOSES , 8-3
High Point College de
feated Elon 8-3 in the
second pre-season base
ball game. High Point
scored six runs in the
fourth- inning to put the
ballgame out of reach.
Elon scored first,
pushing across two runs
in the bottom of the first,
while Elon pitcher, Don
nie Oakes kept the High
Point Panthers scoreless
for the first two innings.
Billy Schultz, freshman
pitcher from Morristown,
N.J., relieved Oakes in
the top of the third but
then found himself in a
jam in the top of the
fourth. Ron Slingerman,
High Point third-baseman
led off the fourth when
an Elon error was made,
Slingerman raced to
second when Schultz’s
pick-off attempt to first
failed, and then MarkGe-
bricke. High Point left-
fielder, singled to push
Slingerman across the
plate. Taylor and Grice
got on base with success
ive basehits, followed by
a walk to Lyle Paggett
and extra basehits by Don
Hickey and Nick Perloz-
zo.
Elon failed to score in
the bottom of the fourth,
and High Point pushed a-
cross two more runs in
the top of the fifth. Elon
scored their third and last
run in the bottom of the
fifth, when Elon center-
fielder. Jay Simpson,
reached base on an error
and scored when Jimmy
Freisinger smashed a
double. Both teams were
held scoreless for the
rest of the game.
Lyle Paggett, Don
Hickey, Nick Perlozzo
and Mark Gebricke each
had two hits for High
Point, while Jimmy Frei
singer and Bobby Strout
had doubles for Elon.

Reflecting on the Dreams of Ho Chi Minh
He showed up at the
Palace of Versailles in
1919, dressed in a shab
by rented tuxedo several
times too large. He went
there to plead that con
sideration be given to his
people; those of South
east Asia.
But the august gentle
men of the West were too
busy consolidating their
gains and carving up Eu
rope to pay much attention
to this skinny Annamese
patriot, late of Boston,
Mass. In point of fact, he
was ejected bodily from
the hall.
Hopefully the full story
of Ho Chi Minh will be
told elsewhere and often
in detail. For, root and
branch, it is the story of
our century: what men
have accomplished, how
men have failed.
As in the death of Mar
tin Luther King, the pass
ing of Ho Chi Minh calls
forth sorrow and anger
that a great man’s dream
remains unrelized.
There is no need ei
ther to refute or excuse
the ruthlessness of the
man or his intolerance.
Let the United States be
come as little Vietnam,
let it struggle for its
identity against the great
est might yet called in
to conception. Then let it
find cause for white-
gloved complaint.
In his writing. Ho in-
variabley referred to the
Saigon merchants and
their governmental and
military protectors as
“puppets.”
Lest the accuracy of the
image be questioned, let
the ventriloquist leave
the stage and we’ll see
how well the puppet talks
on his own. It should be
apparent to all by now
that revolutionary nation
alism has been the dy
namic behind much social
change since WW II. Its
only rival for the motive
force of mid-century man
has been advanced indus
trial technology.
Must it become in
creasingly dlchotomous:
that we (The U.S. and Rus
sia) have the ever-more-
perfect gun and they, the
ever-more-militant peo
ple?
Is Alexander Dubcek
allowed to live only to the
extent of his ineffective
ness? Did this apply to
Che Guevara? Does it ap
ply now to Eldridge Clea
ver?
There's one revolution
nobody can stop: the wild
fire spread of communi
cation — awareness of
what somebody else is do
ing somewhere else. The
globe is shrinking. It’s a
natural concomitant of the
very technology which is
used to manipulate.
What happens when the
big fam ine hits in the m id-
1980’s, at a point when
people around the world
see increasingly less ra
tionale for their misery?
If independent countries
and blocks are free from
expropriation and strong
in the character of the
community (Ho’s dream),
then the species may sur
vive.
But if, at that point,
we haven’t granted free
dom to the blacks and
the Ukranians; if we still
occupy Vietnam and
Czechoslovakia .. well,
then you have it: the war
to end all peace.
You say you don’t like
Ho Chi Minh? Right on,
brother; and good luck
tomorrow.
