House On Lot Beside Postoffice Being Moved and Remodeled Is To Be Placed On Lot Back Of West End HaU What is going to happen to the house down on the corner next to the post office? Scenes of action such as trees being pulled down, porches torn off, and lumber be ing hauled are being seen there everyday. A Maroon and Gold re porter pried into this matter re cently and uncovered these facts. The house belongs to Mr. Lam beth of this community who is going to move it to the vacant lot behind West End Hall. It is to be remodeled and made into a six-room house for a small family. This house is one of the oldest in Elon College and was built ap proximately forty years ago. Many families have lived in it during the forty years and it was vacant a few of toese years. Administration Buys Brooms, Dust Pans, and Waste Baskets Students Must Pay Small Re fundable Deposit on Articles Due to the clean-up movement inaugurated by students, Mr. West has bought brooms, dust pans, and wastebaskets enough to furnish one of each to every room in the boys dormitories. The news has apparently not yet leak ed out, for no one has yet has been by the office to obtain these three articles. Naturally this is an added ex pense to the college, and since they have been good enough to obtain these articles for us, why not use them and keep our dormitories and rooms cleaner? There is a small deposit on these, but that deposit will be re funded when the articles are re turned to the office in good shape. If and when the broom wears out a new one will be supplied at no extra cost. The deposit is as fol lows: Brooms, 25c; Dust Pans, 10c; Wastebaskets, 20c; making a total of 55c for the three.
