FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 2, 1962
IN MEMORIl'M
Mriwy Edwin Horton III was my brother,
my fellow student, and my friend. Our
views and reflections on almost all vital
Issues usually coincided. Many times we
talked together of philosophy and theology,
those topics which are of concern to most
all college-age students. His views were not
conventional. His idea* were those emin-
ating from the mind of a thinker. Even in
the face of an encroaching death, he main
tained his ideas and In so doing, preserved
the truth of his Individuality.
As a fraternity brother, his value can
not be itemiied. It was with the reverence
of a deep respect, that the incoming pled
ges accepted the antagonism of the one
they learned to call "Le general”. This
character was a figment of his own imag-
matlon and creativity. Rush season was an
integral period in Henry's life. The goatee
we watched him enthuisastically grow was
a full part of his planned regalia.
Within the business meetings of tbe group,
this brother would remain sUent until iiist
the right time He would then speak with
the clear wisdom of a much older person.
Henry loved hi* fraternity with an idealiit-
ic love. It Is on this type love that a great
' tradition has been established.
As a student, his record speaks for itself.
Hi' was vitally Interested in his education,
and he approached his cu;'rieulum with a
real 'academic fervor. His ambitions were
not transient, but mature and permanent.
He placed his future far above the u.sual
impulsive stimulations uf modern collegiate
life But in addition to his scholastic atti
tude. Henry knew how tq have fun. His
witty manner brought smiles and laughter
to many, many people. He never allowed
himself to become ajf exception in spite of
his disadvantageous condition. He could be
caustic: he could be critical, but the strength
In these actions brought him respect and
never denunciation.
As a friend, I never knew Henry to re
fuse aid to a fellow comrade. .Many times
I entered hi* room to borrow various and
sundry articles. His first reaction was us-
, ually a high pitched scream of agitation,
Then, of course, he'd laugh and say, "Yeah,
sure!" He was on call to help his friends
and was always called on« to join In on
the group gatherings. Some of the things
we bad planned to do togetheri -I will 'liave
to fofget. but I'll never forget Ihe, impres
sion of- Henry Horton.
Often, when we talked togvthei,- we ask
ed whether or not tlfece ogtild t>e a IMe
after death. H^this Is.possibU, I JtnoK he's
'pleased to see the love for' him (hat lingers
■ here. He sometimes’ cbnfided to-nu tiiat.
poMiblythe rife'^ftey'death, was Uie re->y
li.e w-.-kend ai-tivUic-. started off with
a Kiic-i-ij evening as charlott repre
senting three fraternities lined up at the
other end of the new football practice
field. Tiie-if chariot.s actually were small
two-’vheeled ,ulkies, each having six men
to pull It and only one rider. Ttie groups
compeung were Alpha I'i Della, Sigma Mu
Sigma, and Kappa P.si Nu ^n order of
plate ’ taken '
^r've^aI peuple seemed amused by the
archaic "Caesar costumes” (complete with
ivy headdret,! worn by Jerry Drake and
me. not to mention the plaid sicirts donned
by the "Kappa-Snappers" for the occasion.
These outfits were supposed to create a
Homan atmosphere, but there was evident
ly some confusion in the minds of people
who wondered why the Kappa Psis didn t
nave barrets and bagpipes to go with the
plaid "kilu ". Perhaps next year we could
find a lion or two and a Christian who’s
sporting enough to be eaten alive for the
show. This would certainly leave no doubt
as to a Roman atmosphere. Any volunteers,
Christians?
Seriously, thongh, several people have
said that this "chariot race" ought to be
an annual affair. It is an impressive way
to Ajegin a big weekend and it seems to
nave u cullesiate appeal which is novel to
tnis campus. Thanks goes to Bill Whitten-
ton, a transfer student from Carolina, who
was largely responsible for the project.
This year, it seems that there were few
er campus displays than ever before. Alpha
Pi Delta took first place with an impres
sive rocket and launcher setup. With it,
where was a tape recording of interviews
with several of the football players. Orig
inality and humor were quite evident when
answers to questions were given by means
of popular sosgs. Next year, it would be
nice to see this much enthusiasm shown by
everyone. It goes without saying that there
were several other nice displays.
Taking fir.st-place among floats in Sat
urday afternoon's parade was Sigma Mu
Sigma. There were Indians (imitation
ones!) dancing upon the float and letters
around the side saying, "Even Indians bow
to the Alumni'. Congratulations Sigma Mu.
I’m sure it makes us all proud to know
that on Saturday. October 20th our foot
ball team pushed out in front of the Cat
awba Indians to break a balance in scoring
history that dales from 1928. In earlier
competition against each other. Catawba
and Elon had each won twelve games, two
additional games being tied.
The homecoming conte.st, at which the
Christians defeated the Indians 15-0, feat
ured a parade of feminine pulchritude at
the halftime. Introduction of the Homecom
ing Queen's court, consisting of women stu
dents representing various campus groups
took place. This royal ceremony was high
lighted when Miss Duane Powell was
crowned Queen of Homecoming 1962 by
Jim Buie, president of the student body.
Miss Powell’s Mald-of-Honor was Janet
Faulkner.
Homecoming weekend ended with an elab
orate dance In the gym. which again fea
tured the queen and her court. This dance
for which The Embers supplied music was
hailed as a large success.

During the past few weeks most
of us have been visiting the many
historic sites in and around Heid

After hearing a variety of student com

bring out into the open a question of Im-
ptirtance to all of us. Why catinot the ad
ministration and the student body in gen-
val be more compatible?
.Most of. us students feel that we are ma
nure.young, men and women. To those who
infest that we act like irresponsible children
and are not to be entrusted with any social
freedom, I say that it is because of this
treatmeni that we act like'children.

counts, dukes and ladies of the
court that walked, ate and slept
in its many chambers.
When one goes upon the main
terrace of the "Schloss' and looks
at the flow of the age-old Neckar
river which parts the valley below,
one realizes why rivers and the
beauty of nature have played such
a great part in the history of the
world. Beauty is something one
likes to possess, and whoever con
trols the river rules the valley.
Another interesting historic site
around Heidelberg is a small vil
lage a few miles up the Neckar
valley. The "Dorf” is called Dils-
berg, and it is built on top of a
hill. The old wall around the vil
lage is still intact; however, the
fort inside is in ruins.
There is only one problem in
visiting popular historic sites, that
is trying to find it by poking
through hoards of tourists. How
ever, the tourists are decreasing
day by day, and students are tak
ing their rightful place.

Senate Action
The Senate went back into ac
tion last , Wednesday after in
active Homecoming week-end.
Several new bills were presented
and directed lo respective com
mittees. but the real action stem
med from a bill which had been
presented on October 10th by
■lim Buie.
Buie's bill resolved that a fine
of one dollar be levied on any
student who had not paid his
Student 6ovemment fee within
two weeks of the beginning of
each semester. The Judicial Com
mittee, to whirh the bill had
been referred, did not agree with
the bill in that it did not pro
vide any means of enforcement.
Instead of recommending that
the bill be passed, the committee
offered an alternate measure
which was recommended in the
original bill's, place.
The committee's bill, as pre
sented by Senator Ken Lumpkin,
sl9tpd that the failure, to pay
Student ^Government, fees would
constitute an Honor'Council Of
fense and would be ruled on by
.'aid council. The bill also stated
that the penalty'for such an of
fense wouW be left "to the dis-
.cretion of the Honor Council with
a ■minimum fine of two dolors.''
The alternate measure brought
about much discussion When it
was brought on the Jlobr: 'those
senators who opposed the mea-
'sure .argued that any^ offensfe
Those who favored the bill ar-
. gued that ia oj-der for Student
Government to operate effect
ively, the dues must be paid at
the beginning of the year so that
it can be known how much mon
ey the organization will have to
work with.
They-also argued that all Hon
or Council offenses were not a
part of a person's permanent
record and that other violations
of the rules, such as parking
violations, line-breaking viola
tions. and smoking violations,
were tried before the Honor Coun
cil.
They argued, too, that Elon
College’s Student Government
constitution is set up in such a
way that the Honor Council is
the judicial branch of the gov
ernment and is authorized to try
such cases as those stated in the
measure. After mucfi discussion,
the measure was brought up for
a vote and defeated by a vote
of 13-12.
The original bill was then
brought , up and, after lengthy
discussion, was defeated unan
imously. So ^Qiually nothing
ial committee be formed to en
force the levying of the fines,
but the best in my opinion is
the measure of the Judicial Com
mittee which was defeated.
President Buie was quite dis
turbed about the fact that neith
er of the measures passed. He
said that he expected to pass
some kind of bill that would levy
a fine on SG fee violators and
would enforce the action. One
thing that he said rubbed many
people the wrong way; he stat
ed that if the Senate did not
pass such a bill, he would use
his veto power on other bills and
force the Senate to pass a bill.
This is very unlikely, since the
Senate can override his veto
with a two-thirds majority vote,
but his words were very strong
and could turn many heads the
other way.
It is anybody’s guess how such
a bill will read if it passes the
Senate, but my suggestion would
be to introduce a bUl as much
lilie the Judicial Qpmmittee’s
as possible, get some support
behind it, and give it another
try. I really ■ believe if'would
was accomplished, except that go trough.
the senators were awaken^ and
many are now busy working up
a bill which will provide’ some
way of enforcing a penalty for
not paying the Student Govern-'
ment iees.

the Judici'M Committc may have

Homecoming was a nice event again this
year but it is also the first one I remem
ber which was followed by no fraternity
parties Social drinking seems to be the
current point of conflict between the ad
ministration and the students. I hope that>,

-Ing the^onege~s^uderit and drinking.
I think the Dance Committee should be
congratulated for the presentation of a fine
dance on Saturday night of Homecoming.
The decor was done simply, but not with
out effort. The music was enjoyable and
the dancdng fu®-
The Homecoming Committee is also to
be commended for a fine job. It was good
to have a new idea presented in the char-
iat race. This idea came from Bill 'Whit
tington, a refugee from the foreign soil
of U. N. G, Thanks for stepping in and tak
ing an interest in the activities of our Stu
dent Government Association. We need cap
able and willing personel.
The Lyceum Committee has certainly
done its part in lining up programs of liti-
eral and intellectual interest. We have thus
far heard talks by writer Manly Wade
Wellman, and labor leader David S. Blan
chard. Later this year we will hear Herbert
C. Mayer, a (distinguished consultant', on
American and international affairs, and
Robert Bartlett, ai Congregational Christian
minister who has made extensive trips into
Russia. Frans Reynders,-- one of the most
talented interpreters of the subtle art o£
mime, will present a program. In the mus
ic, we will hear Alirio Diaz, a classic gui
tarist from 'Venezuela,^ David Craighead,
an organist, and Thomas Richner, eminent
New York pianist. It is only fair that a big
bouquet of. orchids be awarded Professor
Sahlmann and this committee for the fine
planning for the ’62-’63 year.
The Liberal Arts Forum is currently ne
gotiating to procure a lecturer in the field
of anthropology and another to talk of Red
China’s aggressive tendencies. Due to the
current international scene, I think this
would be a timely topic.
Speaking of world affairs, it has been a
long while since the degree of interest re
cently shown in the world has been seen.
Of course, the current situation lends it
self to interest. M.any students have tiie
fear, of war, bbut it is in these times of
crisis that the American people, young and
old, band together into the closest of unions.
If I may, I would like to make a few
comments on the. recent crisis. The situa
tion in Cuba seems to be a feeling out pro
cess of the United States’ patience and will
ingness to get tough. Fortunately, our pres
ident is a stern and unwavering man. Our
bluff has been'called on situations in the
past, but 1 no longer think this can be
done. To continue pushing the administra-.
tive policies will mean war.
• At the Virginia World Trade Conference,
which I must say was one of the most
academic conclaves I have ever attended,
I had the rare privilege of listening to some
of the top economists and political theorists
in’ the world. i . i ..
The popuJar . opinion is that Russia, see
ing our quick and powerful defense of tins
hemisphere,, will resort to creating a more
definite straio oni the Laotian and Berlin
points. The Soviet may attempt to create
a situation similar, to Korea in Laos, there
by diverting. irjterBational ,attention to this
area. Fu;ll fledged support by the Ameri
can tf oops. would weaken our position and
possibly create an opportunity for deroga
tory propaganda, -.n
Another possible trouble spot is
China. Due to.industrialization and increas
ed production., possibilities, this communist
natiqn hasib»iea.able toi buiW a powerful de
fensive and potentially offensive force. Be
