In winning the Miss Burlington title, Miss Hardister performed a triple-threat routine in the talent division. She performed a mono logue, followed by a tap dance and a fire-baton twirling routine. In pre senting her multiple talent act, she wore a gold costume with bangles. She has had training in dancing since she was five years old. Miss Hardister was crowned by Jan Ross, who has held the Miss Burlington title for the past year, and the new ruling beauty was still beaming long after the coronation. She expressed great pleasure in the victory, calling it "an honor I never expected to receive.” She carries a fine experience background into the Miss North Carolina pageant, for she repre sented Lees-McRae in the Rhododen dron Festival last year and was also Queen of the Heart Court and Miss Happy New Year at the junior college.

Littell, professor of church his tory at the Chicago Theological Seminary, told his listeners that they are obligated to listen to the opinions of others but are not re quired to agree with those opinions. Dr. Littell, who spoke in Whitley Auditorium at an 11 o’clock con vocation which marked the “Dia mond Anniversary” of the founding of Elon College, spoke from the topic of “The Three Dialogues”; which have shaped man's learning and destiny through the ages. He was introduced by Dr. J. E. Dan ieley, Elon College president, who presided over the Flounder's Day convocation. After referring to the fact that Elon College celebrated today itsi 75th anniversary as a college deili cated to Christian and humane learning. Dr. Littell listed the three dialogues of learning as involving men in the world as citizens, in the college as scholars and in the churches as Christians. In all three dialogues, he pointed out that man's present responsibilities are formed by honor of the past and hope for things to come. He declared that men cannot be blind to traditions of the past, but he also warned that history must be substantiated by evidence and that unsigned and unsupported opin ions have no place among cultured persons. In this connection he cited the varying philosophies of the an cient Sophists and Platonists and declared that truth offers a suitable foundation for all action in life. Roles Cited Dr. Littell stressed the roles play ed by campus and church in human dialogue, declaring that both campus and church exist to equip men for life in the world. He said that proper action by campus and church can free men to practice brother hood love Speaking further along on the role of the Christian college, he called it a lay academy, a training ground for the ministry of the laity in the church. In enumerating the services of the colleges, he spoke of the Religion Professor Has ISetv Bible Study Book ELON AI TIIOR S1,0.\N IV. w, “continuing services” which colleges now render through alumni insti- utes and vocational and profession al conferences. The speaker stresset* the fact that the charter of the first modern uni versity called it a "fellowship of teachers and students” and told his hearers that they are members of many and complex communities, such as family, church, profession and public forum. It was in this con nection that he brought out the ob ligation to listen to the opinions of others. Teachers Honored Dr. Danieley also spoke briefly during the Founders Day convoca tion and paid tribute to the various church and educational leaders who have made possible the college’s long history of service in Christian education. He mentioned the church leaders onttnueil cn l oi;'- ’• 'i; College Singers To Present ^Seven hdst Words Sinuhi\ The Elon CoUege Singers will pre sent Theodore Dubois' famous East er Cantata, “The Seven Last Words of Christ,” in Whitley Memorial Auditorium on the Elon campus at 4 o’clock Sunday afternoon. It will be the seventeenth time that the Elon Singers have pre sented the great Dubois cantata as a feature of the Easter season on the campus. For many years^^ the student musical group sang “The Seven Last Words” on the after noon of Easter Sunday, but the program was changed to the Palm Sunday date when the college switched its annual spring vacation to include the Easter weekend. The Dubois cantata, as perhaps no other does, teUs the story of the first Easter and of the sufferings of Christ on the cross. The cantata is of scriptural background. teUing of the seven great speeche of Christ they always look forward eacli year to the dramatic climax that comes with the singing of the “Seventh Word” and its ensuing organ inter lude. The program this year will be presented under the direction of Prof. Wendell Bartholf, with Prof. Fletcher Moore again playing the organ accompaniment. The Elon Singers will feature forty-eight mem bers of the chorus, with three guest soloists in featured roles The three guest artists who will appear as oloists are all from Greensboro, including Joyce Gift, soprano; Jerry Smyre, tenor; and Charles Lynam, baritone. Two of the three soloists are EUon graduates and their appearance in the great Easter cantata will be no new experience for them. Jerry Smyre, the tenor soloist, is an Elon graduate who now teaches at Guil ford CoUege; Charles Lynam, the baritone soloist, is also an Elon graduate and prior to this year was on the day of crucifixion. »U.g, She a. te.

Sloan, professor of re ligion on the Elon College faculty, has just published his third college- level textbook in a three-volume survey of the Bible. The newest volume is entitled “A Survey Be tween The Testaments" and has been relea.sed as an original paper back edition by Littlefield, Adams and Company. The first volume of the series, “A Survey Of The Old Testament,” was published in 19.57 and has bt-en idopted by more than one hundred colleges, being used by religion teachers around the world. The second bK)k, “A Survey Of The New Testament, " ap|)eared in 1961 and has proven equally (xipular. The success of the two earlier books encouraged Dr. Sloan to bring out this third volume, .survey ing the period between the Testa ments. He points out that the la.st event recorded in the Old Testa ment is the building of a wall around Jerusalem about 444 B. C. and that there has long been a need for added information con cerning the period between that event and beginning of Christianity as recorded in the New Testament. He also points out that much in formation is now available, with the apocryphal books, which have been included in Roman Catholic Bibles, recently appearing in new English translations by scholars who produced the Revised Standard Version of the Bible. Another less known group of writings of the peri od, the Pseudepigrapha, appearing in new editions after hsving been first translated into English in 1913. Dr. Sloan cites the discovery d the famed Dead Sea Scrolls in 1947 as the greatest stimulus to interest in the period between the Testa ments. In four visits to Palestine he familiarized himself with these discoveries and investigated the I Qumran community where the I scrolls were found. Although there have been numerous works written about particular phases of the inter* Testamental period, the new work by the E3on professor brings the many facets of knowledge together in a single volume. The new book is a product ol long study and research in con nection with a course in New Testa ment background, which Dr. Sloan has long taught at EUon College. As a result of his work in this course, Dr. Sloan has gained recognition as an authority in this particular field, and he has been invited to address NEW MEMBERS OF ELON BOARD D. c.
