LR Bears Fail To Score
Senator Bill Walker Gives
Advice In Farewell Speech
By A1 Zink
A split-session of the
Elon College Senate met
Nov. 19-20 and the meet
ing opened with the resig
nation of Senior Senator,
Bill Walker.
Ih addressing the Sen
ate, Walker reminded
members of the import
ance of the checks and
balances system which he
felt was necessary to the
proper functioning of the
Senate. Walker asked the
Senate to keep three ideas
in mind when making de
cisions which affect the
college: 1) work with Dr.
Danieley because he can
"make or break” the
SGA, and without his help
the SGA can’t accomplish
anything 2) think of the
students whom you are
representing when mak
ing decisions 3) always
consider the public rela
tions of the college and
don't let a few mouth
pieces impress the pub
lic.
Walker concluded by
reminding the Senators a-
bout the oath of office
which each SGA official
promised to uphold be
ginning with the words,
‘I hereby pledge my faith
and honor that I will up
hold the honor, integrity,
and reputation of Elon
College...”
His speech was well re
ceived by the Senators
and as he left the Senate
Chambers, he received a
round of applause for his
work in the Senate.
Sophomore Senator,
Charles Firmani, then
asked for Barry Simp
son to be brought before
the Senate to be ques
tioned concerning the use
of SGA facilities in the
promotion of the Vietnam
War Moratorium.
Simpson admitted that
the SGA had supplied the
Moratorium Committee
1,000 sheets of paper,
poster boards, and the use
of the duplicating ma
chine, but he assured the
Senate that the materials
used would be paid for by
the committee. Firmani
then asked Simpson if he
had received permission
from any of the SGA of
ficers to use the facili
ties. Simpson said that he
had received permission
from both the President,
Bill Comninaki, and from
the Vice-President, Lee
Loy. Loy, present in the
chambers, denied that he
had given anyone permis
sion to use the duplicating
machine; Comninaki was
not present to confirm or
deny Simpson’s state
ment. Finance Chairman,
John Paisley, then re
quested that SGA officers
make sure that complete
records are kept when any
SGA facilities are used
so that those using the fa
cilities may be charged.
The meeting concluded
with the questioning of
Phil Larrabee concerning
his selection of the new-
ly-formed committee,the
SSL (Student Senate Le
gislature). Larrabee
stated that he chose the
members according to
outstanding qualifications

HICKORY — No doubt
about it.
Elon’s Fighting Chris
tians came here Saturday,
Nov. 15 with one thing in
mind: to win the Caro-
linas Conference cham
pionship.
And win it they did, 29
to 0, to capture the bunt
ing for the first time
since 1964 and hand Le
noir Rhyne its first shut
out since East Carolina
turned the trick back in
1956.
The Christians didn’t
have a tiger by the tail
but they sure had a bear
by the fuzzy-wuzzies as
they ran up a 16 to 0 lead

Harper Center will be
the location of a new cam
pus shop which is sche
duled to open winter term.
The new store will be lo

reation room. Store hours

which will carry special
in the first quarter, ex
tended it to 23-0 in the
second and then added a
touchdown just for the
heck of it in the fourth.
And while Jimmy Ar
rington, Richard Mc-
George, Emery Moore
and Grover Helsley were
putting the points on the
scoreboard, Elon’s de
fensive team had one of
its finest hours as it de
nied the Bears access to
the Elon goal-line and
set up two touchdowns
with pass interceptions.
Dickie Wilburn, Robert
Perry, Pete McDaniel,
John Romano and Sanford
Reveley spearheaded the
up-front Elon defense that
stopped LR’s touted sin
gle-wing end sweeps and
fullback spinners.
And the Fleet-Footed

The spring registration
pack will include a card
which allows every stu
dent to a free "campus
pack” from the new cam
pus shop.
The Campus Shop,

Four — Tom Jernigan,
Larry Raines, Danny
Watson and Marty Bon-
nett — intercepted four
Bear passes, the same
number LR completed.
Only 36 yards through the
air was yielded by Elon’s
always stingy pass de
fense.
The victory enabled
Coach Red Wilson’s
Fighting Christians to
finish the conference sea
son with a 5-0 mark.Ov-
erall Elon is 7-3.
"1 never dreamed we
could shut them out,” said
Coach Wilson, dripping
wet from a forced trip to
the shower by jubilant
Elon gridders.
"But I was so sure we
would win that I brought
a change of clothes. I
anticipated this ‘victory
shower’,” he said,point-
ing to dry apparel.
"It was a great vic
tory, a great one. We
had the best rushing de
fense of the season — it
had to be to stop LR’s
Mike McRee, Carl Bart-
les and Mike Porter.”
Wilson, who coached
single - wing football so
long that he probably an
ticipated every move by
LR s offense, said his
game plan was very sim
ple.
"1 knew we had to stop
their best player and their
best play and then hope
that everything else fell
into place. We had to stop
Bartles through the mid
dle, and we had to stop
McRee on tailback end
sweeps.”
The Elon line probed
up to both tasks and when
