FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1949 NUMBER J IRC Presents ‘‘I Can Hear It Now^^ History Of Elon College To Be Published In May Henry Richards, as Dr. Einstein, a flunky to a murderer, lays ma licious hands on Dorothy Showe as Ralph Neighbors, the slightly insane Teddy of “Arsenic and Old Lace,” lea,'- a o.arge up San Juan Hill. The Murders come off next Wednesday night. By BOB WRIGHT The history of Elon College, s along with several pictures, will take up approxiately one-half a 5 page in the Burlington Daily i;; Tinies-Newsi’ Centennial Edition I scheduled to roll off the presses the first week in May. This edition, prepared as a part of Alamance County’s Centennial I celebration and historical review I of the county’s 100 years of prog- I ress, will be the biggest ever I printed by the Times-News. It i will have between 100 and 150 pages, according to Howard White, city editor. Another halt page of space is to be devoted to the Elon College community. White says, and the college and community will be featured on the same page. Work on the Centennial edition began in February. While de tailed plans were worked out for story coverage of high spots and “firsts” in the county’s history, appeals were isSuffS through the Times-News’ columns for old pic tures portraying steps in the county’s development. “The response was terrific,” White says, “and we have received pictures of things we never sus pected had been caught with a camera.” More than 300 pictures have been contributed by county 1 citizens to date. I Dozens of stories are already I in, and hundreds will finally be of their poisonous activities, and The stories will concern everything from the oldest citizen Arsenic And Old Lace^^ Is Scheduled For Feb. 22 ment. Innumerable “first” stor ies will be published, including stories of the first movie, the first fire department, the first auto mobile, the first plumbing sys tems and the first newspaper. The appearance of the Centen nial edition will coincide with a program of celebrations, parades, and pageants lasting for a week. The Burlington Chamber of Com merce is preparing the program.

There is little to be said con cerning the merits of ‘Arsenic and Old Lace” as an audience pleaser. From coast to coast it has been a laugh-producer as a stage produc tion and as a movie. In brief, the play tells of the fortunes of the Brewster family, a respected Brooklyn clan. The charities of the Brewster sisters are a Brooklyn legend—except, of course, the 12 gentlemen whom they have buried in their cellar, Evelyn Moore and Jeanne Parks' will play these Borgia-like sisters, and poison was never administer ed by two sweeter characters. Their potent eldei'berry wine is even pleasing to the taste. One of the sisters reveals that one of the gentlemen found time to re mark on its delicious taste before meeting his demise.

Third Aliiimii Directory */ Is Product Of Research Night Classes Are Attended By Nearly 100 With less than three weeks in which to mail information and publicize their program prior to the opening of night classes here last week, Elon’s Adult Educa tion committee registered 75 per sons Monday night, Feb. 7, and opened seven classes to night students from Alamance and surrounding counties. Late registrations and registra tions by mail have brought the night school student body total to approximately 100. Classes are currently being held from Monday through Thursday nights in campus classrooms. Op erating under the quarter system, the program has students attend ing classes once or twice each week for 12 weeks. Two quarter hours credit is given to those who study for credit. During the three-week publici ty campaign, Elon professors I spoke before dozens of social groups in this section of the state and broadcast from radio stations in Burlington and Reidsville. The courses now being taught in Adult Education classes are as follows: New Testament survey, English grammar, psychology, public speaking, interior decorat ing, the family, and bookkeeping. Tuition f6r the night classes, which are being offered on a non profit basis, is $20. Wives of Vet erans can enter classes under a scholarship which reduces their tuition to half price. Record Album To Be Played At Mon.Cliapel Several records from the al bum “I Can Hear It Now,” played last Monday night before an IRC audience, are to be replayed for the Student Body during Mon day’s student chapel as a result of requests made by a number of persons who have not heard the recordings, according to Baxter Twiddy, IRC president. From all reports, the album, which is something new in the way of recordings, has been an unqualified success with audienc es all over the country. It is a 45- minute documentary reading on world events from 1933-45, fea turing speeches made by men who shaped world history or rep resented some aspect of the world scene during those years. The speeches were compiled by Edward R. Murrow, prominent newscaster and foreign correspon dent during the war. “The business of selecting these speeches is a very personal one,” says Murrow, in an article pub lished in “Look” magazine. “Ours has been an era for ear. We remember speeches as they sounded, influenced by their re lation to the framework of our own lives.” In Monday’s chapel program, students will hear again words spoken by President Roosevelt in 1933. “First of all, let me asert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear it self.” (Continued On Page Four) Hans E. Hirsch Included In Volumn ‘Who Knows* Professor Hans E. Hirsch of the Elon faculty last week was noti fied that he will be included in the first edition of “Who Knows —And What: Among Authorities, Experts and Specially Informed.” This work, now being compiled, is a companion volume to ‘Who's Who In America.” “Who Knows,” according to the editorial board, will be pub lished in two distinct sections: “(a) a listing of knowers by spec ialism; (b) a biographical section containing pared - to - essentials background sketches of those listed in the first section.” A background sketch, according to Dr. Hirsch, had already been compiled by the editors and was sent to him for checking. A copy of the extract as it will probably appear in “Who Knows,” with the publishers’ space-saving abbreviations spelled out, follows: ‘HIRSCH, Hans E.

Darden, Tillon College Alumni Secretary, this month pays off with the appearance of the third issue of the Elon Alumni Direc tory, a 112-page volume which is said to be one of the finest small- college directories in the coun try. Circumstances surrounding the compilation of material for the inew directory are unusual. When Darden took over as Alumni Sec retary in 1946, he inherited, by way of information on former Elon students, one small file con taining about 1,400 card^ on indi vidual alumni. That information was incomplete, and much of it was in error. From that beginning, Darden has obtained and published more than 4,000 corr^t names and complete addresses of alumni. Earlier directories afforded- only post office addresses. The first Elon Alumni Direc tory, published in 1921, made no pretensions of being complete. Two years later the college Ad ministration Building burned to the ground, and all college rec ords, including the alumni files, (Continued On Page Four) PROF. J. E.

The main purpose of the club is to interest more students in the field of art and to further their appreciation of art works.
