Happy Thanksgiving! Beat Guilford! MAROON AND GOLD One Quarter Down, Two To Go. Any Resolutions? VOLUME 29 ELON COLLEGE, N. C. TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1949 NUMBER kO Elon Delegates Named To N. C. Student Meet Nine members of the Elon stu dent body will go to Raleigh on Thursday of next week as dele gates to the annual meeting of the North Carolina Studetn Leg islature. The meeting, which gets underway on Thursday, will con tinue through Saturday, Decem ber 3rd. The Elon delegation .includes four members and an alternate for the Student Senate. Those going to the Senate are Raymond Hayes, Emmett Nesbitt, Earl Todd and Marion Adams, with Freddie Williamson as alternate. In ad dition three delegates will go to the House. They are Arthur Mi- zell, Ken Jacobs, and Alvin Pate, with George Etheridge as an al ternate. Elon’s legislators have submit ted two bills for consideration of the state organization, but there is no certainty that both of them will be placed on the agenda, since all colleges in the state wiil be represented, and each wil sub mit bills for consideration. One of the bills offered by Elon calls for restoration of the North Carolina automobile inspection program, atlhough it provides for a different set-up from that in use in the old program that was dis carded last year. The other Elon bill calls for the adoption of the proposed amend ment to the United States Con stitution to limit th« number of terms for the President of the United States. The bill provides that no person shall serve moer than two terms as President and that service of over two years in the office on the part of the Vice President or other substitute shall count as one full term. Player Show In Burlington Huge Success For the first time in several years the Elon Players went “on tour” when th«y took their com edy success, “Room Service” to Burlington in the interests of the gymnasium fund last Tuesday night. The gymnasium fund was enriched by an estimated $300, the citizens of Burlington exercis ed their laughing apparatus, and the Elon Players got a dinner and a good time was had by all. Taking a show “on the road” was found to be a vastly different proposition from staging a pro duction in Whitley. A last min ute rehearsal had the accompan iment of the hammers of Bob Walker and his stage crew as they put the finishing touches on the set. Dick Levine and the electri cal squad had to figure out places for spots and floods. The Players found that a gym swallows a per sons voice like a whale swallows a minnow. Appreciation was the keynote of the Burlington audience. They responded wonderfully and had many nice things to say after the final curtain. The Players had a few things to say, too, but they weren’t in the script. After more than a week away from the show they were bound to be a bit rusty, but they rose to the occasion whenever a line was dropped. At one point the prompter, Martha Veazy, wondered when they were going to get back to the author’s version of the play. Proving themselves to be troupers, the Players never let down the pace of the show. I Along with having a wonderful time, the Elon Players made many new friends and patrons, who gave assurances that they would be “out front” when the curtains parted on the next Play ers’ production in Whitley Audi torium. a I/'- A We gather together to ask the Lord's blessing He chastens and hastens, his will to make known, The wicked oppressing, cease them from distressing. Sing praises to His Name, forget not His own. Thanksgiving Holidays Mark Change Of Term The Thanksgiving holidays the last of this week mark a change of term for Elon College, and that means that more than seven hun dred Elon students will have a chance to start all over again with a clean slate and a chance to roll a new set of credits and grades. The return this year to the quarter system was hailed with delight by many of both the fac ulty and student body, and many have been heard to remark with in the past week that “the Fall Quarter has really flown by.” The present term comes to a formal close tomorrow, for the final exam schedule closes witli the tests for 11:30-classes at that time. An unusually studious air has prevailed over the campus during recent days as the stu dents “crammed” for the exams that began on Monday morning. Thanksgiving holidays wiU be* gin officially at noon on Wednes day and will continue through the weekend- Most of the stu dents and many of the faculty will get away from the campus, many going to their homes for the traditional Thanksgiving dinner, while others will go to football games or other points of amuse ment. Highlight of the holidays for many Elon students and alum ni will be the annual Turkey Day football battle with Guilford Col lege, which wil be payed in Greensboro on Thusrady after noon. Mpst of the Elon students have already completed their registra tion for the new Winter Quarter courses last week, but a few late registrants are still signing up, and still others wiU continue to procrastinate and will register next week, despite the fact that they must pay a penalty for late registration. Phi Psi Cli Staff Lays Plans For 1950 Annual Elon Represented At Church Meet Elon College was well repre sented and played a prominent part in two gatherings of the Con gregational Christian Church, which have been held within the past two weeks, one of them be ing the Western North Carolina Conference held at Asheboro on November 9th and 10th and the other the Conference held at In gram, Va., on Tuesday and Wed nesday of last week. Drl W. T. Scott, superintendent of the Southern Convention, ad dressed the Asheboro meeting No vember 9th on “The State of the Ministry;” and Miss Pattie Lee Any student passing down the hall on the third floor of the Li brary Building recently in his or her travels about the campus could have glanced into the Phi Psi Cli room and seen an intent group of students poring eagerly oVer a dummy lay-out or dozens of photographs. If such was seen, then the ob servers may know that from tliis conglomeration* of paper, pencils and brain work will come the new Phi Psi Cli for 1950, * Ira Cutrell, editor-in-chief, is the spark plug behind the Phi Psi Cli staff this year, and he de dares that one of the biggest headaches of his job is keeping the layout within the prescribed budget.

PAPER EARLY FOR HOLIDAY Th« Maroon and Gold is com ing: out one day early with this issue as part of its policy of bet ter service to the student body of Elon College. The editorial board, realizing that many of the students will finish their fall quarter examinations and be leaving for the holiday, de cided to change the date and give them their Thanksgiving issue before their departure. Still another factor in the de cision was the examination per iod, which meant that the mem bers of the Maroon and Gold staff would be exceedingly busy with review and tests and must of necessity do their work on the paper as early as possible. Therefore, the Maroon and Gold staff offers the students their paper today and along with it the heartiest good wishes for a very enjoyable Thanksgiving holiday with plenty of turkey and all the fixings, and with a sweeping victory over Guilford to top off the enjoyment. Players To Offer Next Play H ere In December Going from farce comedy to drama, the Elon College Players will offer their audiences a dis tinct change of theatrical diet v/ith their next production, “Kind Lady,” to be presented in Whitley Auditorium on December 6th and 7th. The casting for the play has been completed, and the rehear sals are now in progress. The players who will bring the dra matic story of “Kind Lady” to Al amance theatre-goers include Ed ward Engles, Jeanne Parks, Shir ley Joyner, Sonja Albert, Rosa mond Bromley, Kenneth Jacob, Robert Wright, Virginia Davis, Roger Wilson, Jerry Allen, and Emma-Jean Clayton. Student Body Fee Comes In Slowly The student body fees are com ing in all too slowly, according to Student Treasurer George Shack leford, who states that so far about $450 have been collected toward a goal of $733. He has posted an interesting chart in the rotunda of Alamance, showing the payments. Thje latest records on the chart show that Club House and West Dorm have paid 100 percent of fees due.

Elon Choir Wins Praise At Meetings The Elon College Choir has won high praise for its performance at two recent appearances at meet ings off the campus. The first ocasion was at the annual meeting of the North State Colelge Confer ence in Greensboro two weeks ago, and the other was at the Con gregational Christian Church con ference at Ingram, Va., last week. The choir was invited to sing at a banquet meeting of the college officials at the O. Henry Hotel in Greensboro early this month, and their performance was of such high calibre that an encore was demanded and given. At that meeting the veteran members of the choir sang a group of sacred songs, and the entire choir rendered a number of folk songs by Brahms. Especially outstanding was the rendition of “Italian Street Song,” with Miss Virginia Groomes doing the solo work. Only a portion of the choir made the trip to Virginia for the church conference, when a pro gram of sacred music was given. Those making this trip were Anne Albright, Jane Dougherty, Ann Truitt, Virginia Pla, Sharon Black Barbara Bailey, Dorothy Parker, Geneva Cooper, Elizabeth Hoffman, DoUie Ree Foster, Mel- va Foster, Helen Jackson, Jane Upchurch, Bill Foley, James Cly- burn. Jack Castla, Warren John son, Jack McFayden, Roy Berry, David Hardy, Fred Sahlman, Bax ter Twiddy, Charles Lynam and Roger Gibbs.
