We hope that these remarks will make clear
the position of the administration, the students,
and the Maroon and Gold in relation to each
other.
From time to time there have been complaints
from several of the students because the Maroon
and Gold refused to print some of the open forum
and editorial letters which have come in to us.
It is not our intention to withhold from our read
ers anything which should be printed and which
the students should know about, but when an ar
ticle comes in to us for publication it must be the
truth, all of the truth. We feel that it is our duty
as_a medium of expressing campus opinion, to
print the whole truth and not merely a one-sided,,

about the subject, we feel that it is our duty as
the medium of expressing campus opinion and
feelings, to print the article.
We here on the Elon College campus know
practically every one in the student body. The
student body is not composed of small groups or
cliques who associate only with those in their own
group but is rather a close knit unit of students
and faculty. There are several who feel that
there are two factions in the colleg’e, the students ^ ^go there appear-
