PAGE FOUR MAROON AND GOLD Thursday, December REID THIS/ One night I was walking past the wdlcr loumain by t;if li brary. It had been a nice day. Id snagged an above-par grade from I*rote.>3or Barney in a literature qu./ on a Colton Mather es-.iy. 1 pitiiied a few firecrackers in- tu trashcans in the old I’ost Office And gotten away wi'.h it. I'd caught my girl in a romantit frame of mind earlier in the niRht. Klon was just the great old place, that's all. Then I did something unusual. 1 \Ti-nt to the water lountuin for a drink of water. It served bet ter as a trysting place. 1 saw Millie there. She was b> herself I mashed the foot pedal on the fountain. I guess I'll always be sorry for that. For one thing, the water tasted flat. Maybe that's why the foun tain made a better meeting place. The water was terrible. The thing I really regretted was seeing Millie cry. • What'd he do? Poison the wa ter for you too?" Tactful me. The He, of course, was the guy Millie loved. 1 mean, if you saw Millie, you’d see this boy. She’d wait for him at the book store. She’d make up the difference when it came to the asking price WAA Is Host Al Yiile Party The Women’s Athletic Associa tion entertained about 75 guests at its annual Christmas Party, which was held in the McEwen Banquet Hall on Wednesday af ternoon, December 10th, when Christmas music, delicious re- fieshments, presentation of door prizes and taking of the WAA’s picture for the annual were fea tures. Against a background of beau tiful Yule decorations, refresh ments were served by Martha Brittle, Fenny Fuqua. Barbara Kennedy, Fiances Clark, Janice Stanley and Peggy Queen. Jan ice Cook was at the piano, and Katie Langley registered guests lo. the door pr^ies. BEALTIR L COS i LMI>G IS FEATURE OF PLAYER SHOW Students Play Santa Claus For Children The students of Elon College jlnyed Santa Claas on Tuesday iiight for the seventy boys and lirls at the Congregational Chris- ,ian Home for Children, the occa sion being the students’ twelfth annual Christmas party for the youngsters. The party custom was initiated in 1947 under sponsorship of Al pha Pi Delta Fraternity, with the jther Greek letter fraternities and sororities cooperating with the sponsoring group in providing gifts all the youthful guests. The other groups have continued this cooperation and did so this year. Arts Forum Allotment Subject Of Hot Debate . „ , Jimmy Humphrey, as a repre- of two movie tickets .n Burlmg-p.

' I wish he had’ve,” she said ikind of childlishly, but I got the idea she wasn’t thinking much of the idea of living just then. "He’s left me. It’s for good, 1 know.” Illustrating the beautifully designed costuming, typical of America of the 1850’s, is the scene above from the Elon Player pie i?ntation of “The rfeiress,” which proved iiighly pleasing to cam pus theatre-goers when it was g ven in' .Mooney Chapel Theatre on Wednesday, Thursday and Fri day nights of last week.

' Elon Players Praised For Production Of ^The Heiress’ In Mooney Theatre Sounds kind of silly, I suppose. all these years later—and even more trivial to you who weren’t even there, much less not know ing this mere slip of a girl who had found more than her share of disappointments. Millie cam* to Elon from the orphanage on the far side of the campus. Well, I gave her a shoulder to cry on. That’s about all any of us can do for a broken heart, I could hardly be a substitute for a Ma ma she never remembered. 1 ■wouldn't have made a very good Big Brother and poked somebody In the nose for hurting Millie the way she'd been. Usually, these columns grind down with a tricky ending and maybe a chortle. This one won’t.

Little unhappy Mil lie taught me that. ■V’ou know, all of us cry at one lime or another in some way. When it happens to you, don’t you ever forget that there are some who must ery alone. • I Home guests for the occasion. Living up to the old adage that the show must go on,” the Elon Players defied the ■snow and haz ardous highway conditions in pre senting magnificent performances of "The Heiress.’’ a Broadway tragic-drama, in Mooney Chapel Theatre for three nights last week. The final performance last Fri day night drew a goodly audience, called her performance one of the finest in campus stage annals. Prof. Roy Epperson, in the role of Dr. Austin Sloper, the domi neering father, and Chuck Oak ley, veteran student actor from Roxboro. who appeared as Mor ris Townsend, the self-seeking suitor, also gave outstanding per formances and did mflch to keep the audience interest at high Other than Alpha Pi Delta, oth- area, and those who braved er participating groups were Iota weather to see it were reward- Tau Kappa, Kappa Psi Nu andl^j their attendance by one of Sigma Phi Beta Fraternities and he Beta Omicron Bata.

This award was pre inted the Burlington Touchdown Club banquet by Coach Jim Ta tum. of the University of North r^arolina. No que.stion about it Bob. who is a junior, was all de sire and very deserving of the honor With the seasonal mciamorpho- is going on about us — the bare 'rces, the cold weather and the rieavy overcoats — campus sports ire also making a change from outdoors to indoors, from the pro 'atp-shaped ball to the round-ball sport. Basketball is indeed here, but it’s much ton early to tell :iow things are shaping up for the Christian cagers and for the Conference as a whole. Coach Doc Mathis has already indi'.-ated the probable starting line-up for most of the early games, including Eddie Burke. 6-6. teamed with Rob Bell, 6-4, at the Members of the senior class have something to look forward to after Christmas vacation.

I’m getting tired of trying to think of something else to write, so let’s wTap it up for this edition. However, before we put the old ■writing ma’chine away, let "Here ’n There ' remind all you fine peo ple to be careful on the way home. And now. from yours truly and "Here ’n There”, a very, very Merry Christmas to one and all. Sure hope ole' Santa is real good to all of you. See you next year. Lanky Dee Atkinson sank 523 free throws in 129 games while playing basketball for Elon four years and holds tbe all-time Elon caieer record from the free-throw Une. ^ including both students and lovers of the drama from the surround- pitch. Praise is also due to members of the supporting cast, including Etta Britt, as Lavinia Penniman; Pat White, as Maria, the maid: Pattie Fayle, as Elizabeth Almond; Peggy Roach, as Marian Almond; Ikey Tarleton, as Mrs. Montgom ery; and Joe Medlock, as Arthur Townsend. All are from Burling- the finest Play productions of recent years. Rosanna Gant, freshman actress from Burlington, scored a distinct triumph in her first r«ajor role with the student stage group and gave a performance that was def initely professional in calibre as she played the title role of Cath erine Sloper, the New York heir ess, who was balked by her dom ineering father in her quest for romance. Alternately lifted to the heights by her moments of love with her fortune-seeking suitor and plunged !o the depths by the interference of her implacable father, sh* met each situation in almost flawless ton, except Miss Tarleton and Medlock, who are from Durham and Tobaccoville respectively. Much credit for the success of the play is also due to the excel lent direction by Prof. Clyde Mc- Cants and to the work of the back-stage crew that included An gie Chambless, David Horn, Wayne Rudisill, W'illiam Bane, Sylvia Sims, Gary Newman.

President J. E. Danieley and Business Manager W. E. But- '.er have just issued a statement to cite the provisions of the in surance coverage that goes to every student upon registration. The 1958-59 student coverage provides blanket accident medical expense up to $1,000. with pay ment possible for specified ex penses within 52 weeks after the accident in which the student is injured. There is a $100 limit on dental expenses. Also provided .’Omers may break into the start ing line-up. It would seem that Elon's cagers should be an im- nroved club from last year. In the Conference, it appears 'hat Lenoir Rhyne, defending the championships it has won the last two years, has an edge; but High Point returns with tall Danny Se- '.'*■11 and three other starters from last year's second-place outfit; and ■>ne must not discount the loop’s allest club, the Western Carolina Catamount*, which has all of its 'tarters back as an intact unit. ■> miscellaneous expense allowance up to $100, and surgical treatment up to a maximum of $300. The services described in the pamphlet are effective twenty- four hours a day for the entire policy period between September S. 1958 and June 1. 1959. It is furthermore pointed out that these benefits are paid in addition to any benefits to which a student tween school and home. As is the ca.se with most poli cies, there are certain exclusions, such as injuries or illness sus tained by air travel in any ex cept regularly scheduled planes, the cost of eyeglasses or elective treatments and preventive medi cines, losses caused by war, in juries sustained while entitled to benefits under Workmen’s Com pensation or injuries and illnesses Elon Alumnus In Music Magazine The Elon College Music De partment had Its place in the spotlight when Mrs. Frederick Bohrer. Jr., of Brooklyn, N. Y., the former Judith Ingram, one of Elon’s outstanding music gra duates, had her picture in the December issue of the “Musi cal *Courier,” national music magazine. Mrs. Bohrer is now teaching voice at the Manhat tan School of Music in New ■york. In the picture she was demonstrating the use of a re corder in Voice instruction. WATCHTOWER (Continued from Page Two) pletely unfair and illogical to characterize any group of hu man beings. It would be very difficult to assemble any group of flawless individuals, whether lawyers, doctors, ministers or football players. We regret that some of our students apparently have not had the opportunity of getting to know many members of our team. Perhaps it is unfortunate that athletes are so much in the "limelighit” and are so well- known to the student body. Con sequently their names are very conspicious in lists of students, especially if the list if of vio lators of any campus regula tion. Although there are many normal exceptions, we believe that a great many of our ath letes are among the outstand ing students in our college. Standing behind our opinion are the records of Elon College alumni for many years past. It is worthy of note, we believe, that three senior members of last year’s “first string” foot ball team are continuing their ■education this year by means The Elon Stadent Legislature was the scene of some of the hot-i test debates and discussion in its | history in two meetings held just' prior to Thanksgiving holidays, the subject being the appropriation of funds for operation of the Elon College Liberal Arts Forum. The forum itself was proposed and adopted by the legislature in October, with a plan to invite to the campus outstanding speak ers in the humanities field. The plan was to be administered by a joint committee of faculty and student representativesr but there was delay in starting the program, pending Allotment of funds. The heated debates had their beginning at a regular Legislature meeting on November 12th, when a bill was introduced to appro- . priate $1,000 from the student body funds to pay for a series of ■ four speakers and for incidental le-xpenses of the Forum itself. ' Proponents of the bill asked that the money be allotted from a fund of $3,000 that had previous ly been allotted for dance expens es this year, and this brought liot discussion on the question of how much should be spent on campus dances, with discussion of the rela live values of the forum program: and the dances. After the legislature had amend ed the minutes of a meeting held last May, changing the "Dance” funds to a “Miscellaneous” cate gory, the Student Legislature al lotted the desired $1,000 for the Forum programs. The discussion was resumed at a called meeting the following night, when the debate w'ae re newed on the Arts Forum appro priation. On this occasion the Leg islature rescinded the bill enacted the previous night and also res- stored the minutes of the May Home Ec Meet On December 9 A program on Christmas dec orations featured the DecemW meeting of the Home Economic, Club, which was held |„ Horae Ec Lounge on the third Hoor of Alamance on Tuesday December 9th, with Loretta HiU liard, Eula Mae Norton and Hel- en Garner presenting an inter, esting discnssion. In addition to Mrs. Mary g Butler, club advisor, there were ten members present for the meeting that was presided over by Elizabeth Shoffner. Projects for the future were dUcussed, and a finance committee named including Marie Vickers, Nancy Smith and Carol Adams, original 14th meeting to their form. After much discussion, a second bill was passed for stipport of the Liberal Arts Fonim, :hat time alloting $500 for the serie.s of pro. grams. However, the passage m nullified by a veto from the Stu dent Body president. This action left the Elon College Liberal Arts Forum in existence, in keeping with the original bili which had been passed in Octo- her, but it remained a group with out funds. Further plans tor the group may be announced at a la ter date.
