Hook revealed final plans for the new location of the college book store. Plans call for the use of the en tire ground floor of the Mooney Building, with the exception of the adjoining small rooms used by the fraternities, he said. The soda fountain and the display cases will be located between the two large rooms on that floor, and this space will be equipped with sliding doors so that the rest of the location may be used when tlie sales area ij closed. One side of the building will be equipped as a recreation room, and the other side will be furn ished as a lounge. When a social event is scheduled, the entire ground floor of Mooney will be used. Renovation of the new site has aliready started, and it is hoped that the job will be completed dur ing the spring holidays. “Students who would donate their services in clearing away the debris from the razing would greatly expedite the process,” stated Prof. Hook. “I would like to thank those students who have already volunteered their time and labor,” he added. Prof. Hook remarked that there is a possibility that the Atkinson House fire might delay the work if the carpenters now working on the new bookstore were needed to re build the structure. * * ^ ' V ■ Sloan’s Radio Addresses Create Regional Demands HUFFINES GROCERY PLAIN GROCERIES FANCY GROCERIES FRIEND, WE GOT ALL KINDS OF GROCERIES FLOWERS FROM Trollinger's BURLINGTON, N.

Players Cast ‘The Betrayal’; Production Set For April 12 Eloii Sing ers Well Received In Waterbury (The folowing article is re printed from the WATERBURY REPUBLICAN, Wednesday March 9.) One of the Leiiten events Water bury is beginning to look forward to every year is a visit from the Elon College Singers, the 25-voice mixed choral group from Elon Col lege, N. C. Small wonder that Waterbury should look with a sense of calm toward the annual visit by these youthful singers, for their singing at Second Congregational Church last night left those who attended with a certain exalted feeling of introspection. The Elon Singers represent a co educational institution of the Con gregational Christian Churches, which is operated by the Southern Convention of that denomination. Their program, to quote Rev. Dr. John C. Walker, Second Church pastor was a “lift and uplifting.” This is true in both senses. They were able, through their competent renditions of Bach chor ales, Anglo-Saxon hymns and spiri tuals, to give the “lift” needed to face ourselves during Lent, and to “uplift” us to face God during the holy season. With the Lenton season and the advent of Easter Sunday in view, the Elon Players have selected as their next production a three-act passion play, “The Betrayal,” to be presented on Tuesday evening, April 12, at 8; 15. “The Betrayal” re-tells the story of the betrayal of Christ, with em phasis on the part that Pontius Pilate played in the episode. It pre sents the stirring drama of the most significant phase in the his tory of the Christian religion. This production calls for one of the largest casts and prodtiction staffs ever assembled by the Play ers. Those appearing in “The Be trayal” are as follows: James Mad- ren, A1 Godwin, Baxter Twiddy, Harry Farmer, Walter Wentz, Roger Wilson, Robert Walker, Bill Wilkins, Tony Ferrer, PaulRosser, Jim Lewis, Joan Pla, C. T. Wyrick, Doug Bowden, Ken Jacob, Walter Wentz, Dorothy Showe, Rosamond Bromley, John Vance, Bill Scott and Bob Wright. New Biblical costumes for this production are being made by the people of the Elon community.

The production is to be directed by Elizabefh R. Smith. Elon’s Moore Named Judge For Contests Prof. Fletcher Moore, Music De partment head here, has been se lected by the North Carolina High School Music Contest- Festival As sociation to judge the 1948-49 piano contests to be held from tonight un til March 26 in six cities over the state.

In response to one of his 15-min- !te Sunday afternoon radio talk>, titled ‘Brotherhood,” Dr. W. W. Sloan, of the Religious Education Department, has received congrat- ilatory letters from many groups and individuals, including Dr. Fields of Guilford College and .'rom listeners as far away as Lynchburg, Va. In the program which received such favorable nouce. Dr. Sloan cutlined his ideas on how Protes tants, Roman Catholics and Jews could better understand one an other, The text of this talk has been used by a Jewish study group, and Dr. Sloan was invited to appear before the Brotherhood of Temple Emmanuel in Greensboro, The “Jewish American Times,” national monthly publication of the Jewish people, is publishing the talk along with a picture of Dr. Sloan, and the North Carolina State Council of Churches has re quested permission to publish this popular message in its buletin. Dr. Sloan’s program has report edly gained such a following that other radio stations are negotiating with him to air his Sunday after noon talks. Radio stations in Ra leigh, Reidsville and High Point have shown particular interest. Dr. Sloan says. The Reidsville station has almost completed arrange ments for broadcasting his pro gram. Dr. Sloan began his Sunday af ternoon series over WFNS on Jan. 30. The naine of the program aired from 12:45 to 1:00 p. m. is “God Marches On—People, Places and Events in the World’s Progress.” Frick And Hackney Lay Down Burdens Of Student Paper G. B. Frick, linotype operator and make-up man for nine of ten issues of Maroon and Gold pub lished prior to this issue, and Gray Hackney, Frick’s student assistant,, ended their work with the student paper with the March 4 issue. Considered by co-workers at the Times-News, where he is em ployed, as one of the best men in his work in the South, Frick is credited by responsible persons here with putting Maroon and Gold on a professjional level in general appearance. Hackney, a freshman from Nor folk, Va., was the first student to volunteer for work on t!ie paper this year, and he served as every thing from reporter to managing editor in helping put out 10 issues through the press. With this issue, Carl Owen, lino type operator, and Marvin Heron, make-up man, both regular em ployes of the Daily Times-News, take over the jobs vacated by Frick and Hackney. Both are experts in their work. STUDENTS GET (Continued From Page One) reaching into the attic for expen sive luggage—and left more than $100 wd)rth of luggage to burn. Hoyle Bruton was embarrassed to find himself gallantly carrying down the stairs a nandful of three- by-five cards beside students stag gering under the weight of his heavy furniture. With excellent teamwork, stu dents had cleared the furniture be fore water from fire hoses could damage it. However, many stayed to fight the fire with the firemen. The wind rose and became cold er. Students handling hoses and working inside the house under the spray became soaked to the skin. Several bottles of shake-bite medi cine, reportedly found in Dr. How ell’s apartment, reportedly served a good purpose. Students recall that Professor Ivey was frustrated. ‘Those poor dear boys! “Let me see, isn’t there some way we could get up on the roof of the house? I had some lesbns on fire-fighting. I wish I could think of something to do!” And all the time he was standing on the second floor of Alamance. Some faculty members entered the house with the students. Oth ers holding clases in remote build ings hardly knew of the fire. Stu dent reports had Dr, and Mrs. Sloan presuming to have the per spective of God Almighty and de ciding that neither their students nor themselves could be of ' any help across the tracks. By sundown three families had been moved into new quarters by students. Bill Anderson and Bill Harris gave up their apartments to the Howells and Brutons. The unselfishness of students had made the fire not such a bitter pill to swallow. A welcome Awaits You At ACME DRUG, Inc. AND MAIN ST. DRUG, Inc. - BURLINGTON, N. C.
