back to the Elon campus this fall
when he took up new duties as an

the student life at Elon during their
undergraduate days.

1962 he has served in the same

Feeling Of Student Body
By OSCAR FOWLER
The next issue of the Maroon and
Gold will contain the results of
the first part of a two-part survey
of the reactions of a segment of
the student body to this year’s
presidential campaign. The first
part will deal with the issues of
the campaign and the platforms of
the two major parties. The second

the candidates for president and
vice-president of the United States
To our knowledge, this survey will
be the first such campus-wide sur
vey ever conducted on the Elon
College campus during a presiden
tial campaign. It will in no way be
a prediction of the outcome of th«
November 3 elction on campus, In
this state, or in the nation. The
survey will attempt, however, to
determine the reactions and opin
ions of those pollerf at certain
times during the campaign.
The poll will be conducted among
one hundred students on a percent
age basis of those students enrolled
at Elon from various sections of
the nation. Questionau-es will be
placed in the mail boxes of these
students on October 11 and October
25, and they must be returned to
the Public Relations Bureau by Oc
tober 12 and October 26 so that
they can be tabulated and the re
sults published in the Maroon and
GM on October 16th and 30th.
Those who received questionaires
will not have to reveal themselves
at any time. Only questions perti
nent to the survey will be asked.
The poll will be conducted by the
’ublic Relations Bureau ot the Elon
Jollege Student Government Asso
ciation. Members of the Bureau ar»
Terry Cox, Mary Ann Barnes, Judy
