LibrarianjH At State Meetin«j
Misunderstandings Are
Discussed In Meetings *
A stronger student government and better communioation and
understanding between the college administration and the students
appeared likely this week as a result ol a group student protest
voiced last week against certain disciplinary actions which had
been taken by the college in >e*ent weeks in regard to individuM
students and student organizations.
The student protest took shape on Wednesday night, October
25th, when about one hundred men’s dormitory students united in
staging a protest march on the Elon campus, resulted in several
joint conferences between administrative and faculty officials and
representaives of the student government.
As a' result »f advance warnings
Prof. Theodore Perkins, Elon
College librarian, tfccompanied by
Miss Arabella ore, Mrs. John Kit-
tenjger and Mrs. Helen Hardee,
members of the library staff, rep-
reeented Elon at the annual meet
ing of the North Carolina Library
Association, which was held at
Hie Jack Tar Hotel in Durham on
