The Student Government iS'
i; starting a used book exchange
this term, according to President
Cliff Hardy, who states that stu
dents may take books they wish
to sell to the Student Government
office with the price they want
for the book, and the Student Gov
ernment will try to sell the book
for the student.
Plans call for student to take

al this time.
The Student Government does
not plan to buy the books and
then offer them for sale. It only
plans to conduct an agency to sell
the books for the students.
The Honor Council, which holds
a very important spot in the life
at Elon College, is naturally more
in the minds of students at the
sem^-annual examination periods,
but it is a group which remains
active and busy throughout the
college year
The members of tl^e Honor Coun
cil for the 1961-62 college year,
all of them pictrred above, are

chairman; Sandra Neighbors, of
Forest City; William Luby, of
^Wethersfield. Conn.; Susan Sande-
lur, of Charlestown, West, Va.:
William Hughes of Mebane; and
Diane Binkley, of Winston-Salem.
It is possible that, to some stu
dents, a position on the Honor
CiunCfil represents only another
office fo be attained and to be
recorded as a laurel won during
student life, but members of the
Honor Council know that holding
such a post entails both work and
responsibility.

The opening of the New Year|
and the initial issue of any news
paper for any given year is al
ways a good time to ca.st a look
backward and to take stock of
the outstanding developments du
ring the twelve months just end
ed, and the Maroon and Gold tak
es this opportunity for a brief
inventory and review of the thirfgs
which occurred at Elon College
in the months that were 1961.
It was, in general a good year
for Elon College, its faculty and
students, with the outstanding
event of the year, from the stand
point of achievement and progress,
the completion of the two-year
self-study, which was accepted and
I approved by the Southern Associa-
;tion, which renewed the accredita-
|tion of the college. Along with this
completion of the self-study, plans
were announced for a new study
of the college curriculum.
I Perhaps as good way as any
for recalling the events that hap
pened at Elon during 1961 is to
i take each of the twelve months
1 and recall in capsule fashion the
various stories and events which
hit the columns of the Maroon
and Gold during the year.
JANUARY—Among the events
occurring in January were the an-
I nual football banquet, with Guil
ford’s Coach Herb Appenzeller as
.speaker; the death of Dr. Ned F,
Brannock, who served long and
well as a member of the Elon fac
ulty; and the generally fine play
of the Elon basketball team, led
by brilliant scoring of Jug tt-vln
and Ken Smitk.
FEBRUARY—The month open
ed with a fine Elon Player pro
duction of Mollere’s “The Doctor
in Spite of Himself”; the appear
ance of the Rev. Cecil Northcutt,
British theologian and economist,
and Prof. D. H. Pletta, of Virginia
Polytechnic Institute, as campus
speakers; along with eontinued
fine play by the Elon cagers.
MARCH—One of the most en
joyable of Mid-Winter Weekeknds
featuring a dance and concert, was
an early feature in March. Also
in that month Elon’s Cliff Hardy
was named vice-president of the
North State Student Government
Association, Norman Shetlcr was
on campu.o for a piano concert; Dr.
Arthur S. Fleming was the speak

Day program; Judy Samuel was
elected as May Queen; Norman
Shetler, pianist, and Dr. Thomas
Rlchner, organist, were here for
concerts; and Jug Irvin set a new
Elon scoring record in basketball.
Late in March th«re were several
administrative changes announced
with Prof. Fletcher Moore becom
ing dean. Prof. Jennings Berry
becoming registrar, and Prof. Al
fred Hassell becoming director of
student services.
APRII^The April events fea
