I do not believe this for several reasons. I think that college was created to help bring about maturity, although some stu dents do not take advantage of what most colleges offer. College is a sys tem which aids in development. It is incorrect to say that it hinders or postpones it. The term “maturity” is difficult to define. Webster’s New World Diction ary defines it as a state of being fully developed. This definition is too gen eral to understand what is meant by “maturity” in the sense of which I am speaking. If I were to define the term, I would say it is the ability to act and to make decisions in a rational man- If maturity is this ability, can it be reached at any certain stage of life? Is a group of freshman boys, for in stance, more or less mature than a group of working boys of the same age? I do not think so. Life in the working world is not so much different from college life. Both realms have their responsibilities. A person can fail in work or in the armed forces just as he can fail in college. All of these endeavors require a great deal of effort. For these reasons I feel that matur ity is something students obtain in time. Some reach it before others, and the circumstances that may speed it in some people would only result in a lessening of such a quality in others. Therefore ,I feel that maturity is gained by the individual person. In short, maturity is forced on some people, others grow into it, and some never experience it. Gerald Goodman ,traveling harpist | and troubadour, won praise when he] appeared in Whitley Auditorium on | the Elon campus on Tuesday night of| this week in another of the series of I Elon Lyceum programs, for he played j his harp with a masculine vitality that recalls it as an instrument of thej Gods and not an instrument of angels. | The romance of the wandering! troubadours of old has affected Good-! man s life as well as his career, for he is always in quest of ancient legends and ballads which he adapts to his own musical setting and which he pre sents in song while playing his own accompaniment. His performances have preserved a virile spirit that is reminiscent of the Middle Ages. One of the standard songs of his repertoire is “The Wind Was My Mother,” a number for which he wrote both the words and music. This and other numbers has won for him a wide following as he travelled wide ly in both the United States and Can ada. Born in Cleveland, Ohio, he began to study piano at an early age and \ soon displayed an amazing technical j and interpretative talent for the key-i board. However, his mother, who was an amateur harpist, died shortly after he was bom, and the constant image of her harp in the living room captur ed his imagination, so he began the study of harp at the age of fifteen. During his teenage summers he studied with Carlos Salzedo at the famous Summer Sharp Colony in Camden, Maine. He then moved to n GERALD GOODMAN, GUEST ARTIST New York City to continue his work i he was soon appearing for extetidt!, with Salzedo, who taught him to play engagements the harp with force and precision. His first job was as a harpist at a funeral parlor in New York, but this soon led to livelier surroundings, and at the Penthouse CM and at New York’s leading hotels. Hi ha.s been featured as both a musical and an actor in productions of ll«| Shakespeare Festival in New York. One Hundred Eighty - Seven PUiceii On Dean’s List For Fall Semester ADVOCATUS DIABOLI By TOM PEARSE The Campus Crier does indeed have a new format, but the new buildings at Elon do not make her any more academically oriented, and neither does the format of the Crier make it any more intelligent. If at best, the articles are at best sophomoric. Mr. Becker is still hung up with his running commentary about the hot water situation and the poor food. The student’s happiness is secondary to the whims of the front office, commonly known as the front office bureaucrats. Little does Mr. Becker realize that it is all part of an ingeni ous communist conspiracy to rid the campus of him. The individual writer of a Fairy Tale has not been around Elon and the individuals connected with the in stitution long enough to understand that he was portraying Elon instead of Nole. Many other students have faced similar situations, but his only con cern is ill founded and at best inane to the rift which occurred to a group of teachers and students this summer Grades were changed in favor of some individuals. One of these persons told one of the professors on the campus, and the professor related it to some students. One of the students did not believe that such a breach of professional ethics could take place, so she went to one of the persons who had had their grades changed, and she was told the same story as the pro fessor. When the question was brought before the responsible party, it was flatly denied. From the tone of the interview Mr. Ward had. Captain Elon committ ed a dastardly deed. One could tell he was not a math major, but a lay minister intent on filling the campus with his piety and propoganda. Mr. Walker really took a command ing lead. Old East is going to be dedicated with all the ceremonial re gard that can be afford. It will be dedicated to Ubiquitous. And to Mr. Hollingsworth is dedi cated the special Swartzekater award. The “terse legalistic language” dis guises much, namely that two of the members who helped make the choice have less than a 2.5 average. But this is only minor. The only pre-requisite for Who’s Who, besides the 2.5 average, is that the members belong to a religious- affiliated group. The ludicrious aspect of the whole thing is that one of the chosen few is a Catholic in Baptist clothing. But this is the way at Elon. Until the student body realizes that writing will change nothing, and the only thing that will help is an action com mittee which will at least create a little excitement. One hundred eighty-seven Elon Col lege students earned honor grades for their academic work for the past fall semester, according to an announce ment from the offioe of Dean Fletcher Moore with the release of the “Dean’s List” of honor students for the term. Five of the honor group had grades of “A” on all courses for the semester and have been placed on the “A” dean’s list. The other 182 students had averages of “B” or better for the term and have been placed on the “B” dean’s list. Those who had all “A” grades in cluded Eleanor Durham, Shirley Fair- cloth, Linda Ann Hardie, James How ell and Larry Mixon.
