Drama Workshop for children is being
sponsored by the Student Union Board
by Kemp Liles
Starting Oct. 19 and
continuing through Dec. 14, a
workshop on children’s drama
will be sponsored by the
Student Union Board. The
workshop will be directed by
Carol Hawthorne, a 1964
graduate of Elon College who
works part time for the Arts
Association of Alamance
County and the North Carolina
Council for the Arts. The
workshop will be held at the
Back Door from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.
on Tuesday nights.
Ms. Hawthorne, who is
originally from Annapolis, Md.,
majored in English at Elon and
received a master’s in
recreation at UNC-CH. She has
studied children's drama in
England and also at the
University of Minnesota and
has started several creative
workshops in North Carolina
and Maryland. Ms. Hawthorne's
current workshop will focus on
creative dramatics and using
drama as a teaching method.
She noted that the workshop
would be of particular interest
and use to education majors.
Included in the workshop
sessions will be the opportunity
to work on the play "Too Many
Comers” by Lynda Miller from
the University of Minnesota.
Beginning Dec. 10, at the Back
Door, 'Too Many Comers” will
be under a grant from the North
Carolina Council of the Arts
and co-sponsored by the Student
Union Board. The play, a
musical fantasy, will be an
intimate participation theater
production with a cast of six.
The cast will range from 13 to
19 years of age. Anybody
wanting to work on the play
should contact Ms. Hawthome
or attend the workshop. There
are openings in any field of the
production and there is a special
need for a musical director.

New establishment in Elon
is now open for students
by Doug Durante
Remember the drab, plain
looking streets of Elon College?
Well, unless this is your first
year at "Big E," you surely must
have noticed the changes that
have taken place. The big
business boom is here. Within
the past year we have seen a
Hardee's, a clothing store, and a
funny looking blue building
emerge as successful business
ventures. Not to be outdone,
Elon grad Joel Brown is finally
doing what he wants:
establishing a quality

PS 420 has only eight
scheduled class meetings
during the semester, is offered
only in election years, and has
no exams. The college bulletin
calls it a "Workshop in Politics.”
Dr. Frederic T. Watts, Jr.,
instructor, says, "Students leam
by doing, as well as by reading.
This course is intended to
provide a learning experience
in politics by participation in an
election campaign. The purpose
is to learn how a specific
campaign is planned, managed,
and carried out.”
Each participating student
arranges to work eight hours
per week for the candidate of his
choice in a national, state or
local campaign. The campaign
manager evaluates the
student’s work, which is the
most important element in the
course.
After the November election,
the student will write a case
study evaluating the total
campaign and comparing
various aspects of it with
textbook studies.
The course is not directed at
how campaigns "should” be
conducted, but how they are
conducted. Dr. Watts
emphasized.
restaurant in the town of Elon
College.
Located in the former
Garrison’s, Brown and Co. will
offer a varied menu, including
subs, kosher sandwiches, and
pizza. Joel's head cook is a
28-year veteran of kitchens of
the Holiday Inn chain, and he
feels this will enable them to
present quality food.
"We want to give a Southern
bar atmosphere,” said Joel, "a
place where you can get
something to eat any time
during the day and drop in and
have a beer later in the
evening.”
Joel stresses, however, that it
is not a beer joint. There is a
chance of happy hours and
specials but nothing definite at
this point. Brown & Company
opened last week and hope to
enjoy a successful stay in Elon.

educated, whole, human being
above all else.
In November Dr. Chase will
be ordained as a minister in the
Presbyterian Church, United
States, which is the southern
branch of the Presbyterian
Church. That’s a relatively
large step for a person who was
a ninth grade mathematics
teacher not so long ago. Dr.
Chase suspects that she would
still be teaching mathematics
had not a very important event
in her life interrupted her
teaching back in 1%1. In that
year, she became a Christian. 'T
wanted to know all I could
about it, and to do that I had to
go back to school,” she says.
In addition to working on her
M.A. and Ph.D. between 1962
and 1973, Dr. Chase led a full
life. She served in campus
ministry for five years at Maay
Washington College in
Fredericksburg, Va. While at
Duke she was a member of the
Duke Chapel Choir, which she
termed "an experience and a
half.” She was a dorm house
counselor while at Duke and
also worked in administration
at Virginia Commonwealth
University in Richmond.
Here at Elon, Dr. Chase is a
freshman adviser and will serve
on the Communications Media
Board. In her duties as an
adviser, she expects "to leam as
much, if not more, from
students eis they leam from
me.”
During her free time, Dr.
Chase is involved in varied
interests. She enjoys reading,
listening to classical music,
wood carving, and photography
among other things. She even
finds time to make her own
clothes. Dr. Chase also enjoys
the out-of-doors and is
concerned with the condition of
our environment. These and
other qualities that Dr. Chase
possesses should add a new emd
exciting dimension to the study
of religion here at Elon.
