Famous Flying Safety
Five Bows To Elon;
Play Here Tonight
Score half time 16-18; final score
35-31 with Elon pulling up to tie and |
then win in the final minutes of play,
this was a game for the book: good to
watch and good to play in. Sports
manship was generally good through
out, although a bit rough in spots.
The Flying Safety five from Win-
ston-Salem-transport command com
posed of old stars, is a tough outfit
to beat. A field goal b,( Ro'neJ
Cates '/d two free throws by Joe Gol-
ombek provided the winning • mar
gin.
Don Kernodle, lanky freshman for
ward playing in his second game for
the Christians, led the attack on
the Flyers with five field goals and
)ne foul for a total of eleven points.
Cates and Golombek were strong on
lefense and came through with some
timely shots.
Rutnoski of Winston-Salem was
high scorer of the evening with fif
teen points. The Flyers’ man-to-man
defense was hard to penetrate, but
Elon finalV solved it. Coach Adcox
employed a varied attack and switched
from zone to man-to-man defense at
the middle of the first half. Our
cagers held the pace by alternating
teams on the court and substituting
frequently. Outplayed in the first
three quarters the Christians held on
grimly and finally won out on fight
and determination.
Anderson and Taylor played a scrap
py game and their floor work and
recoveries helped to Jceep the first
string in the running. Harris, Mul- j
ford. King, Castura, Thompson, and |
Watkins spelled the first five when ,
needed. These men are all promis- j ^
ing candidates and will see action as
the season gets underway in the con
ference.
The Winston team will play a return
engagement here tonight. Game is
called at 8 o’clock.

Question: Do you want fraterni
ties to reorganize now?
R'Sargaret Rawls, Delta U: “Yeah!
They’re half the fun of the sorority—
they make politics more interesting—
also they mean more parties and ban
quets.”
Lem Allen, Sophomore: “I think it
would be a good thing. College life is
sort of centered around fraternities—
also they’ll help bring the boys closer
together.”
Ed Mulford, Veteran: “No, although
I belong to a fraternity I think they
are undemocratic in principle.”
Jimmy Westmoreland, Day Student,
Senate Member: "Sure! They add a lot
to college life.”
Bill Claytor, Sigma Phi, Veteran:
"Definitely, unlike larger schools an
Elon fraternity doesn’t isolate, nor
encourage isolation of its members
from the other students. It creates
greater friendship among its members.
It tends to create initiative and com
petitive spirit among all students in
a friendly manner. Also a fraternity
adds greatly to social life on the cam
pus.”
Floyd Boyce, Veteran, Freshman;
“Sure! They form a closer relation
ship among the boys.”
Brevitt Hook, Kappa Psi Nu, Vet
eran; “Naturally, I want them to
start again as soon as possible—more
fun,—better parties—they bring stu
dents closer together. The biggest
change I see in this college is the ab-
-sence of the fraternity and fraternity
spirit. Banquets and Bidnights are
always something to look forward
to.”
Vivian Walker, B.O.B.: "I think fra
ternities build character and create
a loyalty in the college which lasts
throughout life and which usually the
non-fraternity men do not have . . .
also they develop the quality of lead-
i ership. Usually boys want to go to
I colleges which have fraternities.”
I Jean West, Freshman class secre
tary: “Yes, I do, it will put more life
on the campus—there will be more
brotherly feeling among the fellows.”
Martha Anne MicDaniel, Tau Zeta
Phi, Senior: “It’s purely immaterial to
me. I’ve lived on this campus with
and without them and I’ve been just
as happy one way as the other.”
Don Kernodle, Freshman class pres
ident: “Yes, when you join a fraterni
ty you become associated with a group
of fellows who are your type and who
become your closest friends. An or
ganized social life is centered around
the fraternities.”
Mary Coxe, Tau Zeta Phi: “By all
means, they'll raise the morale of the
girls . . . and too. I'm curious about
what boys will be taken in by which
fraternity ... It also will make bid-
night much more interesting.”

The National Interfraternity Con
ference organized in New York, No-
yember 8, has enrolled 60 national
Greek-letter fraternities. Its postwar
program is designed to enable the fra
ternity chapter to function most ef
fectively in campus and community
life, render substantial service to war
veterans returning to school, and to
manifest the true spirit of democracy
for which the war was waged. Against
these objectives, critics of the “fra
ternity system” will find it difficult to
throw rocks.
The November 21 issue of THE
FLAT HAT, William and Mary’s news
paper, carries a feature by H. Reid,
former columnist for the MAROON

Remarkable For Its Enormity.” Still
carrying on with his limitless tall
tales!
The Army’s specialized training pro
gram at State College, the only re
maining military program of its type
in a Southern College, was discontinu
ed in November after the institution
had provided over 4,598 young soldiers
during the World War II. Approxi
mately 20 per cent of the State Col
lege ASTP graduates during the war
went directly to Oak Ridge, Tenn.,
where they aided in the government’s
mammoth atomic bomb production
project.

On the other hand. Jack has a dis
tinct dislike for people who aren’t as
crazy as he is; he also dislikes ego
tism (better known as “leg-pulling”),
spinach, turnips, and the ties he gives
to his roommate. For a girl to pre
tend to listen to him, but by the far
away look in hep eye to reveal that
her mind is really miles away, is his
pet peeve.
Jack says what he likes best about
Elon is the 2:1 ratio of the boys over
the .^girls, the fact that everybody
speaks to everybody else no matter
how many times a day they bump into
each other, and those bed-time stories
told by Joe Golombek. The only
thing he seems to dislike about Elon
is the non-holding hands spirit found
among the faculty. (Get what we
mean?)
This is strictly off the record, but
we have heard that Jack's secret am
bition is to ride in one of those little
white cars that the sewer-cleaners
push down the street.
He thinks that his decision to be
come a minister was the most import
ant thing that has ever happened to
him, and his greatest ambition is to
be a field i»inister of young people’s
work. With his motto- “Veni, Vidi,
Vici,” and the start he has already
made he is destined to *btain his
goal in life—and soon too.
