The snow blanketing the ground in the above scene just south of the West Dormitory is typical
of the appearance of the Elon College campus during much of the time since mid-January, and the
cene itself furnishes a reason why the construction workers have been at a virtual standstill in the
erection of the new men's dormitory and the new student center on the southern boundary of Elon’s
vailed campus. The Elon College authorities, who had hoped to have the two buildings ready for use

the Elon College music faculty,
presented a lecture - demonstra

The story, which takes place in

ells of the attempts of Dogpatch
iii/ens to find something nation-

town in an effort to keep the gov-

ically inclined as Daisy Mae
would Uke him to be.
The cast for “Li’l Abner" will
include many newcomers to the
Elon stage and a number of vet

best remembered for her portray
al of Stella in last October’s pro
duction of “A Streetcar Named
Oesire,” was first seen in the
one-acter, “Riders To The Sea,”
last Spring. Bringing into the mu
sical acting experience of two
years and a fine voice, this young
actress should give an interest
ing Daisy Mae rendition.
Playing the part of Ab'ier will
be Dale Ward, of Kensington, Md .
1 sophomore at Elon. Ward, who
has several fine l-'ad performanc

seen as Lieutenant Cable in “South
