Communications 300, Argumentation and Persuasion, is being added to the curriculum and will be a course of oral rhetoric with practical application to teaching, business, and public meetings.

The first series of courses, to be known as Honors 211 and 212, will be in the areas of the humanities and social sciences.

Religion 101 and 102 will be deleted and changed to Religion 315, Old lestament Prophets, and Religion 318, which will be Christian Ethics and Human Decisions. These changes made in the curriculum are ones which were felt by the faculty at this time to be of the most benefit in broadening the spectrum of courses offered here at Elon, GRAND OPENING YMiSEir col 581-£2MI ^ 0^ -f he door Page Five By Dave Shuford With classes over by early afternoon, Elon students have to decide how to uae their free time. Here are some of the things they do to fill up their time slots and how they feel about the entertainment around Elon. According to Steve Vaughn. ‘There is very little in the way of entertainment at Elon. 1 usually spend my time shooting basketball, and at night I go to some of the night spots in Burlington and Chapel HtU.” Bob Loy feels differently about the prospects of entertainment at Elon. “There are many imjjortant student organizations on this campus working to improve student activities. If the students would work more on the matter, more would be achieved." Another group of students, fr(»m left to fight, are: Carol Clayton, who likes to play spades, and does various types of handiwork, Susan Eaton is an artist, and also practices gymnastics; Gail Leonard also plays spades, as well as the piano; Pam Winter likes to snow ski; Murda Irwin swims, dances, practices gymnastics, and plays tennis; and Stuart Melvin plavs football. Herbie Mann plays it loose By Lance Latane “I can't tell you what mv music expresses," said flautist Herbie Mann as he pulled on a pair of knit pants in the back stage dressing room. “V'ou can't verbalize an emotional thing. It's something you have to listen to and then think what it's about. I just go out and play — that's m\ concept of life —just float along with ever\thing that happens and enjov it." The relaxed mood which Herbie Mann and The Familv of Mann created through their music Friday night is a product of Mann's personality and philosophy. "Our music is very loose — the way music should be." Mann said, "There's too many things in life that are too involved. My music is supposed to be relaxed. Music should reflect the leader's concept of life." The Family of Mann is Pat Rebillot on keyboards, Ric Marotta at drums, Tonv Levin, bass, and Armen Halburian, percussion. %uVe too busy to write home and ask for a college ring.
