Orchestra Gives
First Concert
By AL ZINK
On November 3, the
Elon College-Community
Orchestra presented a
fall concert in Whitley
Auditorium. The concert
was conducted by Malvin
N. Artley and Scott Walk
er, associate director.
After the presentation of
the National Anthem, the
orchestra performed the
Magic Flute Overture by
Mozart-Winter. The well
known Surprise Symphony
No. 94 by Haydn; Bartok’s
Rumanian Folk Dances;
and other compositions by
Brahms and Matesky,
Tchaikovsky, Arnold, and
Anderson completed the
program.
The concert was only
fairly well attended, but
those in attendance, 1 am
sure, enjoyed the evening
of fine music. Unfort-
uately only the string sec
tion of the orchestra was
seen by the audience due
to the poor arrangement
of the stage. And again
the echos of the auditor
ium compete with those
resounded in the Swiss
Alps, (maybe some day
we will be honored with the
presence of a real live
yodeler?)
The Spring Concert
usually proves to be more
"professional” after
many months of prepara
tion; hopefully attendance
will Increase. Those in
terested in classical
music, both in the com
munity and at the college
should plan to take ad
vantage of this cultural
experience. Members of
the orchestra work very
hard to offer this program
to you.

Times Reporter Speaks Here
By LARRY SAGE
Miss Marjorie Hunter,
an Elon alumnus and na
tive of the town of Elon
College spoke on "Guar
anteed Annual Income”
Nov. 1 on second floor
McEwen. Miss Hunter is
a congressional reporter
for the Washington Bu
reau of the NEW YORK
TIMES.
"Americans know in
their very hearts that man
must get his bread by the
sweat of his brow. The
Puritans taught us well”.
Miss Hunter began. “We
have known these things
for two hundred years,
and we’ve been wrong
every second of it.”
Miss Hunter was ex
plaining the concept that
the poor are thought evil
because they are the non-
working class. However
in today’s concept the
poor can be apart of the
working class but earn
less than enough to live

Settlement Made In Smith Case
DR. CUNNINGHAM
A settlement was
reached today prior to the
hearing of Prof. C. Mich
ael Smith, an Elon College
instructor, who had been
suspended from his
teaching duties for miss
ing his classes on Oct.
15.
The following state
ment from Prof. Smith
was delivered to Dr. J.
Earl Danieley, president
of the College at noon on
Friday:
“My actions in calling
off classes for the Mora
torium on October 15,
1969, sprang from my
deepest convictions about
the tragedy of the Viet
namese war and the need
for concerned citizens to
demonstrate their op
position to the current
U.S. policy in South East
Asia, 1 followed the dic
tates of my conscience
and could do no other.
At the same time, re
alizing both the responsi
bilities of Elon College
in assuring that classes
meet as scheduled and
that due to my suspen
sion my students have al
ready suffered an inter
ruption in the normal
course of their education,
I do not intend to call
off classes In the future
without the permission of
the Chairman of the Eng
lish Department, It may
be, in some future un
known situation, that my
conscience and the judg
ment of the then Chair
man of the English De
partment will not coin
cide. If that unlikely sit
uation ever does arise, I
would then have no re
course except resigna
tion.
My case has resulted
