Homecoming Preview
Dances, game highlight weekend
By Loretta Bivins
Staff Writer
After Elon’s victories over
Carson-Newman and Lenoir-
Rhyne, the Fightin’ Christians
are faced with a new challenge
at Saturday’s Homecoming
game as they tackle the undefe
ated Quakers of Guilford Col
lege.
The football game is only
part of the activities this Home-
coming weekend, however.
Activities begin with the 11th
Annual Alumni Golf Tourna
ment on Friday.
The tournament will take
place at Alamance Country
Club with an entrance fee of $8
for club members and $15 for
nonmembers. The pro shop at
the club will be talcing phone
calls for tee-times beginning at
9 a.m.
Last year, the bad weather
discouraged some people from
participation in the tourna
ment, but “this year if the
weather’s good, I expect about
100 or so participants,” says
King White, director of alumni
and parent programs.
Friday night at the Best West
ern, Johnny White and the
Elite Band will be entertaining
students at the SGA Homecom
ing dance. SGA President Bob
Moser describes the band’s
music as “top 40 and funk.”
Tickets for the dance will be
avialable in the Long Center
for $7 a couple and $4 for sing
les, but they can also be purch
ased at the door. “All students
are welcome.” says Moser,”
and alcoholic beverages will
not be served” so that students
who are underage can also
attend.
The dance will be from 8 p.m.
to 1 a.m.
Elon will be inducing five
new members into Sports Hall
of Fame in Whitley Auditorium
on Saturday at 10 a.m. “The in
duction will bring back a lot of
the Hall of Fame alumni,” says
White.
The new members are Glenn
Ellis (‘74), former football play
er; Robert Haithcox (‘53), bas
ketball; Carroll Reid Jr., (‘53),
baseball and football; Lawr
ence Trautwein, (‘73), basket
ball; and Shirley S. “Red” Wil
son, (‘35), who was head foot
ball coach and the director of
athletics at Elon.
The ceremony is open to the
public without charge.
An open house for former
staff members and faculty of
the campus radio station
WSOE will take place at 10 a.m.
Saturday. Staffers of WSOE’s
predecessor, WELN, are also
welcome. Years ago, the call
letters WELN were chosen be
cause they were the closest
available to ELON, according
to White, but later “those call
letters were taken by someone
else/'
Refreshments will be served
at the open house, which will
take place in the Harper
Center.
Beginning at noon, a picnic
lunch for students and visiting
alumni will be served on the
lawn in front of McEwen Din
ing Hall.
The football activities begin
at 1:30 p.m. with the introduc
tion of the 1984 Homecoming
Court while Elon’s Showband
of the Carolinas performs dur
ing the pregame show.
At 2 p.m., the Homecoming
game begins. “I expect this will
be the biggest crowd we’ve ever
had,” says White, referring to
the number of alumni who will
be returning for the game. “It
seems each year, it keeps get
ting bigger and bigger.”
Open to all organizations will
be a banner contest during the
game. Three members of the
faculty will judge these ban
ners, and they will award $50 to
the best one. Second place win
ners will receive “!30, and third
place, $20.
The loudest cheerers at the
game will also receive a $30
prize fortheirenthusiam inthe
spirit contest.
The new members of the
Sports Hall of Fame will be in
troduced after the first quar
ter, and the 1984 Homecoming
Queen will be crowned by Glor
ia Goode, last year’s Homecom
ing Queen, at half time.
The Embers, a popular
beach-music band, will be fea
tured at the Alumni Homecom
ing Dance on Saturday night
from 9 p.m.-1a.m. to complete
the Homecoming activities.
Says Moser, “I hope people
will be excited and involved at
this year’s homecoming.”
