He also said that he would
like to be consulted about
such moves beforehand.
In relating future plans
and present problems he
said that the biggest prob
lem to date is the lack of
trained and experienced
people to staff the cafe
teria. However, a new
food production manager
is scheduled to come to
Elon in November. This
new permanent position
will be filled by an Army

also plans to continue to
vary menus with several
special meals during the

Kingsley said that this
can happen from time to
time, but it is avoided as
much as possible. He al
so stated that as yet, he
has not found the students

with the SGA Food and
Cafeteria Committee ev

that “complaints can be

The rally, similar to
the march on the Penta

a march from Arlington
Cemetery past the White
House to the Capitol
building, according to
tentative plans. Both mil
itant and not-so-militant
groups are supporting the
Washington rally, while
some militant groups (in

Moratorium. The Mora

erate, some are saying.
Organizers of the
Moratorium include:
David Hawk, a former
National Student Associa
tion staff member and co
ordinator of a “We Won’t
Go” statement campaign
involving 250 student body
presidents and editors
last year. Sam Brown,
another former NSA staff
member and organizer of
youth for Sen. Eugene Mc
Carthy’s 1968 presiden
tial campaign. He is cur
rently a fellow at Har

tics. David Mixner, an
other former McCarthy

the Democratic Party
reform commission
headed by Sen. George
McGovern (D-S. Dakota).
The oldest alumnus and
a member of the first
graduating class of Elon
College died Friday,Sept.
26, at the age of 97.
Mrs. W. P. (Annie Gra
ham) Lawrence came to
t.Ion in 1890 when they
were just laying the cor
nerstone for the College.
She was recognized as
the oldest living alumnus
each year on Founders
Day, March 11, which
oddly enough was also her
birthday.
Several years ago,when
they demolished what was
left of East Dormitory af
ter a July 4 fire, Mrs.
Lawrence recalled what
life on the college campus
was like back then. A
few of the "conven
iences” she mentioned
were oil lamps, wood
fires, covered walkways
to bathroom facilities,
and cold morning baths.
Upon her graduation
from Elon in 1894, she
married a student, W.
P. Lawrence, who stayed
on at the College and
taught until his death in
1926, They lived in a
small house where the
president’s home now
stands until they built a
two-story colonial home
across the street. Until
her recent death, Mrs.
Lawrence had continued
to live there with her
daughter and son-in-law.
Rev, and Mrs. H. H.
Mackintosh and a son’
W. P. Lawrence, Jr., are
Elon College graduates.
From the exchange pa
pers with other colleges
we have gathered the fol
lowing interesting items:
* The Appalachian,
from Appalachian State U.
The SGA of Appalachian
is trying to pass search
and seizure guidelines
which would ‘^eliminate
unreasonable searches by
students and university
officials”.
*The Guilfordian from
Guilford College. After
a year of voluntary con
vocations (and poor at
tendance), Guilford is re
suming required convo
cations. This require
ment was passed by the
Student Legislature in its
final session last year.
*The Collegian from
Greensboro College. For
the first time, this year
students at GC will have
the benefit of Attorney-
General staff which will
advise a student of his
rights and responsibili
ties, advise some course
of action, or investigate
some alleged crime.
*The Decree from N.C.
Wesleyan College. After
been ultimately supress-
ed. Their followers have
tried to continue passive
ly but the counter resist
ance, mainly of violent
means, has caused many
to change their means so
that they are now equally
violent. There are, as al
ways, many who advocate
violent resistance and do
not consider the passive
way to be a worthwhile
means of bringing about
change.
The problem rapidly
encountered, as is also
shown by history, is that
violent means are most
often not justified by
the goals. Even so, in
simplicity, it is becom
ing quite evident that we,
who have seen and exper
ienced the newness of the
life we have, see the need
for change and are deter
mined to see the changes
come.
This is what my column
will deal with: the events
that have come about, re
sulting from the attempts
to change what is because
so many have seen what
can be. Many are justi
fied and there are those
that are not. I will deal
with the essences and the
means with which the
events were expressed. I
encourage your com
ments and criticisms.
It has been witten that
the time will come when
the lion will lie down with
the lamb. I believe this.
Although, in truth our
generation will never see
it happen, we must en
courage and participate in
the changes that lead to
some negotiations be
tween the SGA and Ad
ministration at Wesleyan,
it was decided that the
revenue from the student
union pool tables would
be split (75-25) between
the SGA and Administra
tion.

The Tech Echo. Because
the school in “Greater
Groovy Greenville” has
been made a University,
the staff of the paper felt
the need to revamp their
publication in accordance
with the growth of the Un

In conclusion. Dr. El-
zey expressed the hope
that maybe the students
are not coming to the
chapel programs because
of the new freedom thev
enjoy by not being requir^
ed to go. Hopefully, in
the near future, the stu
dents will realize the op.
portunity that is available
to them to enrich theii
lives by going to the re
ligious and cultural pro
grams of Elon.
The following com
ments reflect student
opinion on the new chapel
system.
Howard Jarke, a sen
ior from Hillsborough,N,
C. said, “It is an im
provement over last
year’s system because
now rather than beingoh-
ligated to go, a student
will go only if he is in
terested.”
Sheila Clenndenen,a
sophomore from Chesa
peake, Va. said, “The
very fact that It is not
compulsory is a great
improvement. However,
receiving an hour’s cre
dit for a supposedly cul
tural experience seems
rather necessary.”
Chris Walsh,a sopho
more from Richmond, Va.
“This year’s chapel sys
tem is improved due tothe
fact that no longer are
we coerced into religion
or religious institutions,
We can decide upon oui
own beliefs without the
college dictating them to
