Why is there a problem ?
Support your dorm — participate
by Janie McGann
The women's intramural
program is moving along with
football as its first sport.
Many teams are playing but
the participation by some
dorms is ahead of others.
The sororities are doing a
good job in supporting the
program. The problem lies in
the dorms —West and Sloan.
Why is there a problem?
Aren’t the women who are
not in sororities numerous
enough to support their
dorms? Although this
problem is evident, the
program is contributing in
many ways in exercise, fun,
and fellowship.
The fact that women and
men officials are paid is a
great asset to the program.
The games are prepared in
advance and scheduled by the
sport managers, so this makes
things better organized for
intramural play. Support your
dorm team by participating in
an intramural sport.

With the 1975 racing season
rapidly drawing to a close and
Richard Petty having already
clinched the NASCAR Winston
Cup Grand National Points
Championship, the thoughts of
some of the fans trim the start of
the 1976 racing season and the
plans of the tour's top drivers for
next season. In interviews I
conducted at Martinsville, Va.,
the drivers indicated the
following plans to me.
Richard Petty — '"If
everything continues to go well
the rest of the season we'll do
pretty much the same next
season as we did this season Wc
plan to run all the races and go
for the national points
championship. We'll still be with
STP and will continue to use a
1974 model Dtxige as we did this
season.*’
David Pearson —' ‘ I plan to run
about the same number of i^ces
next season as I did this season
concentrating on the big
superspeeding event. The Wood
Brothers will have a new
Mercury built for me next season
and we'll still have our Purolator
sponsorship."
Cale Yarborough — "I plan to
drive for Junior Johnson again
next season. We'll run all the
races and go for the national
points title. "
Buddy Baker — "It s just too
early to speculate about next
season. We probably won't have

The 1975 Intercollegiate
Volleyball team is moving along
in the season. On October 7 the
ladies hosted Duke, UNC-CH,
and Winthrop in a tri-match.
Elon defeated Duke and
Winthrop but lost to UNC-CH.
The ladies then traveled to
Boone, N.C. and met Western
Carolina and Appalachian State
University. The women defeated
WC but were beaten by ASDU.
On October 14 the ladies hosted
North Carolina Central and
Methodist College in Jordan
Gym and won both matches.
“The girls were really working
as a team when they played
Methodist," said a local
spectator. One team member
expressed her opinion by saying,
“We all get along well this year
and I feel we have a lot of spirit."
The next trimatch is

Wake Forest and East Carolina

Wanta go under the water?
Get interested in scuba —
by Rick Sherlock
Scuba is a course that has
been on Elon’s campus for
several years now. It was
started as a non-credit course
for those who were
interested. The first class
consisted of about eighteen
members, and its popularity
has grown.
The scuba course has now
become a full credit physical
education program and
consists of all of the
fundamentals of skin and
scuba diving both in the
classroom and in the water,
offering a qualified diver's
certification at the completion
of the course. Students that
have finished the course now
find it beneficial both in and
out of the water for
elementary first aid and
physics. The possibilities of a
program much like that of the
skiing trip offered during the
winter term is now being
checked into.
middle of December.
Darrell Waltrip — "I plan to
run all the races and go for the
national points title next season.
I will be with DeGard and we'll
update our cars to 1976 models. I
also hope to run about 30 national
championships late model
sportsman races next season."
Dick Brooks — "I plan to c'rive
for Junior Donlavey again next
season. We may possibly run all
the races and go for the national
points title. However, no real
definite decision has been made
as yet. We plan to keep the same
two cars we have now and we
may possibly build a short track
car."
So, it's set. Martinsville
Speedway this Sunday.
Diet now — Eat later
' ' -A- ' ' !' ^ ‘ '
5^0“ IT ‘d *M n'"''
by Cathy Henley
Dieting has become a national
sport. Unlike swimming, tennis
and football, it has no seasonal
preference, nor does it limit itself
to a small number. It
encompasses a large majority of
America's society from the super
rich to the lower middle class,
and almost all agree that "thin is
in."
An advantage dieting has over
physical sports is that it doesn't
require coordination; in fact, no
experience is necessary.
There are some special rules to
follow, one of which drops
fattening fotxls from not only
one s diet but from one'
vocabulary. Words such
banana split, chiK'olate cream
puff, and Boston Cream Pie have
s
as
become the "four letter" words
for dieters. Many times, when
confronted with the temptations
of fattening foods, the
steel-willed dieter uses the more
familiar "four letter" words to
discourage his/her desire.
Those lucky ones who have
pledged themselves to the sport
are in constant training. Just as
other sports have seasons when
they are pledged "off ll'®
sauce," dieters must avoid Ihe
gravies too.
Although it's a tough road lo
follow, one always feels sure that
self-discipline will make one a
better person, even if *
stomach is growling. So. fof
anyone with a strong will and a
lot of determination, join
team and skip the "Breakfast 0
Champions."
