FRIDAY. OCTOBER 6. 19«1
NEW OUTLOOK
The fall semester of IMl is barely begnn.
and It’s not too late to adopt a new outlook
oa college and Its wark. Of course there
are many fond memories of the summer
and vacation days iust gone, but the time
Is here to do some wise planiag for the
days and weeks ahead
At this time the raid-winter ezajns and
their resultant grades seem a long way la
the future, but the time will come all too
soon when lack of proper attention to cours
es will be reflected all to clearly in the
final gradas.
Wise budgeting of time Is easeatlal to
proper study, so eack student would do
well ta plan his activities thUj fall to In
clude necessary atudy lime along with
extra-curricular acUvlUes and other inter
ests thst will atract each student's aten-
tion.
It well, when la the midst of « bull »e*-
aion or bridge game, or even whea taking
part In such acUvltie* as sports or stu
dent government, that there U almoat al-
ways work to be done on academic cours*
as. Proper planning now will mean suo-
cess when mid-year rolls around.
SOUTH DEFINED
Amlst all the sectional differences and
eon/llcU that rend the United States today
It is always Inlerestlog to see any one sec^
tlon and Its way of life summarized as was
the South In a recent speech by former
Governor Luther Hodge*, of North Caro-
Daa, addressing a meeting at southern la-
dustriallats.
The speaker decUred that "we as South
erners have a way of Ufe which we under
stand and appreciate, but one which many
others do aot understand or apreciate"
Then he quoted an article by Walter Spear-
man. University of North Carolina pro-
*** • apesker on the
Eton campus last spring -Spearman defined
aouthera Ufa by UsUng six senses character-
latlc of the South:

FROSH GKOUP SHOWS l^lNE SCHOOL SPIRIT

DORIS FAUUXOTH
Here we are back for another year’s
rua around the track of coUege life For
some of us H U the last run, aad we greet
it with mixed emotions. Although we dread
the day when we must bid fareweD to the
old Alma Mater, we dread equally the
thought of losing the race to the lack ol
quality points or hours so neceaaary for the
obtaining of that long sought degree.
• • • •
The Chatter Box would Ilka to extend a
hearty welcome to the numerous members
of the Freshman class, and to commend
them on their great show of spirit and en
thusiasm since the beginning of the foot
ball season. Here’s hoping that the coming
Freshman elections will be met with equal
enthusiasm.
• • • • •
The few Elonites who attended the Elon-
Wofford game September 23rd can attest
to the fact that Elon has quite a hustling
team this year. Although Elon was handi
capped by the Injuries to several of the
more experieaced players, the team man
aged to keep the score tied until close to
the end of the last quarter. Wofford came
out on top In acore, but there Is no doubt
In this fan's mind tliat the Elon team
topped its opponent in performance.
• * • • •
Few people realize the time and effort
that is spent by our nine cheerleaders in
improving and perfecting cheers that will
gain the response of the student body.
Besides the time they spend at pep rallies,
home games, and outof-town games, they
meet for practice every Tuesday and Thurs
day night. They are willing to nalce this
sacrifice because they realize the Import
ance of supporting their team to the full
est extent. But they can't fulfill the task
alone.
Their job is to lead the student body
in tile cheers and yells, and It is up to
the rest of the atudeat body to atteod as
many games as possible and back up
their team wholeheartedly. And thla sup
port should come not only when the team
Is winning, but throughout the game. The
members of the football team will agree
that they can be more optimistic about
winning a game when they know that there
are hundreds of people In the stands back
ing them up all the way.
it Is hoped that student interest will be
great enough this year to make possible the
chartering of busses for out of town game*.
These trips would undoubedly prove enjoy,
ablbe to the participanU, ai^ the presence
of a large number of atudents at these
out of town games would surely be an In
spiration to our team. If yon are Intei^
ested, you may gain more InformaUoa about
these trips from a cheerleader.

It's resUy amadng to know tha great

Ignorant that they can't carry on a conver

that are. in the first place, none of their

Perhaps these poor conversaUonalists ar»

Hearty greetings go out to all

Your beanies distinguish you

From the looks of things the
campus Is not only teeming with
resiedats. but also with activities
galore. After the freshman activi
ties and placement tests came
the concentrated effon on line
formation (registration). Confus
ions and delusions have lessened
to the point that, with tired feet
■ow eased, we’re ninnlng on
schedule—even if there’s some
doubt as to whether it’s the right
schedule.
• • •
The opening footbaU game of
the season was certainly a thrill
ing one. The nip in the weather
and the response of the Elon fans
went hand in hand in adding to
the excitement in the air. The
Fighting Christians set off yells
and screams of joy in the crowd
when our second touchdown was
made ia the last minute of the
game.
We as upperclassmen would
do weU t* take heed to the ex-
Elon - Burlington Day. which
took place on Friday, Septem
ber 22nd, gave the faculty and
students of Elon CoUege a
chance to acquaint or re-^c-
suaint themselves with the hos
pitality of the merchants of Bur
lington. Plans for Homecoming—
the game, the parade, and the
dance—are in the making. With
an early start backed up by
strong support. Homecoming
could be th^ best ever! In addi
tion to the above goings-on,
meetings of the variotis groups
making up the student govern
ment and meetings of the soro^
ities and fraternities have been
held.

It sure was a problem having to abao-
don and pack away the ole beach towri in
exchange for a crying towel, but classes
started anyhow. I guess its really not so
bad.
Just by glancing around campus at the
Freshman Class, it’s obvious that the Di
rector of Admissions was responsible fijr
selecting the girls, at least — an extntats:-
ly commendable job. Serious speaking, thtf
Class of ’65 seems to be an alert and active
group. I cannot remember a more repre
sentative group shown than the freshman
at the GuUford game. ’Their cheers, both
original and amusing, were quite aa asset
to the enjoyment of the game. There are
many potential student government lead
ers in evidence. Elections this year should
be a fired-up affair.
* * * *
Speaking of student government, Edwin
R. Boelte, Elon Student Government Asso
ciation president last year, was also a
feature columnist. In *ne of Ekl’s columns,
he made some interesting comments con
cerning our student government. Thanking
Ed for his permission, I quote:
In the recent history of Elon College we
have witnessed a new interest ia our stu
dent government. We have seen the be
ginning of a new trend for the students of
the campus of the oaks, and in this new
trend we have gained a new interest In our
own person and in the general student body.
We do not need someone to tell ns what
to do and what not to do. We make our
own rules and regulations, enforce them,
make our own decisions, have our own
activities and we do not need a “big stick’*
to watch over us.
Elon College government belongs to as
the students. Let us by aU means keep
it that way. We can ill afford to take any
backward steps when we have been mov
ing forward at such a rapid pace. Oar
government has seen a new life, a new be
ginning, let us all rise and keep that spirit
of poUtical awareness alive and give the
Student Government Association that Is
so vitaUy needed for a smooth running and
active student government.
A smooth running and active student gov
ernment can be realized if you, each stu
dent, carefully chooses the students who
are sincerely interested in student govern
ment and in our particular problems here
at Elon.

The Entertainment Committee has been
■working to provide the week-end entertain
ment which we sorely missed last year,
and thus far the participation hasn’t been
too rewarding. We h^ this wlU improve.
The Homecoming weekend is quickly ap
proaching, and it’s time for frateraities,
*woritles, and other groups to be planning
for their dispUys and floats. The Dance
Committee, under Roger Bednarick has
contracted a popular group to provide mu
sic for our dancing, and those who recaU
last year’s fun surely are kx>king forward
to this annual affair. A decisive victory
over Western Carolina would certainly add
to the enjoyment of the occasion. What
about it, guys?
