FRIDAY, OCTOBER 27. 1967 HOMECOMING (Continued from page 2) niques. Working out of Al lentown, Pa., the group is best known for its re cording of “Apples,Pea ches, Pumpkins”. The dance begins at 9 o'clock Saturday night, with dress optional. The climax of the Homecoming weekend ac tivities will be a concert Sunday afternoon by An thony and the Imperials.

Admis sion to the dance is $2.50 and $3 for the concert on Sun. afternoon. Students dates will be admitted free. WHY IS IT? (Continued from page 2) library when that “irre sistible urge” strikes. Some advocates to the non-smoking policy again advocate that if smoking were permissive, confus ion would occur. I dis agree. It seems to me that more confusion and noise is caused by people scuffling in and out of the library for the purposes of smoking than there would be from persons putting their cigarettes out in ash trays at their table. It should also be noted that the hall lo cated outside the main li brary room is at times like “Grand Central Sta tion” because of this rul ing. The small size of Carl ton Library is no excuse for non-smoking either because in comparison, Burlington Library close ly equals the size of the college library and smok ing is permitted in the Burlington library. I have used this library several times and have never noticed confusion or any other ill effects caused by permissive smoking. Rumors are that the new library now under construction may have a smoking room. If this is true, here’s hoping that the section designated for this pleasure will be ade quate enough in size to accommodate the percent age of smokers on the campus (good luck on that). However it seems that until the new library is completed we smokers will still have to suffer through another year with the present ruling. Catamounts To Be Here For Contest The Western Carolina Catamounts will invade Burlington Memorial Sta dium as Elon’s 1967 Homecoming foe inaCar- olinas Conference grid battle which is set for tomorrow afternoon. The game will be the climac tic feature of Elon’s an nual Homecoming obser vance. These Catamounts have been frequent Homecom ing foes for the Elon grid- ders in years past,and the game tom arrow will mark the thirty-second annual renewal of a rivalry which has produced some bit terly fought battles in years gone by, some of them games which have decided the Conference title honors. The Catamounts like to recall that game back in 1964 when they were the only Conference team to defeat the Christians,with their win having come by a thrilling 21 to 20 score at Cullowhee. The Elon gridders on the other hand like to re call victorious games, such as the Elon Home coming tilt back in 1961 when George Wooten, E- lon’s All-America quar terback, booted a field goal in the final two sec onds to post a 10 to 9 win before Elon’s Home coming alumni. McGeorge (Continued from page 3) fall. The towering Elon soph omore’s 179-yard sin gle-game total toppled the old mark of 177 yards in a single game, which was set against Catawba back in 1950; and his five TD catches in three games so far this fall tops the all-time Elon mark of four such catches in a full season, which was set by Charlie Roberts in 1931, tied by Hal Brad ley in 1935 and tied again by David Gentry in 1964. McGeorge was also within one catch and one TD of tying two other Elon College records, for his eight catches were within one of the record of nine in a single game set by Len Greenwood against East Carolina in 1951 and tiedby Pete Jar vis against Guilford last fall. The all-time mark for most TD catches in a single game is three, set by Charlie Roberts against High Point in 1931 and tied by Hal Bradley against Guilford in 1937. The big Roanoke boy is only continuing the fine record he set last fall when paired with Pete Jarvis on the Elon end posts. Jarvis set a new season records of 51 cat ches in the ten-game campaign, but McGeorge was close behind with 48 catches, and both were far ahead of Rex Harri son’s only record of 31 catches in a season. While catching those 48 p^asses last fall, Mc George posted a new single-season Elon mark of 633 yards, surpassing the old record. GRID STAR WHIPS INWRY TO RESUME EDUCATION 70 J 'I The Elon students and Christian grid fans who have watched that figure in a wheel chair on the sidelines at Elon’s early-season football battles have been watching one of Elon’s fine football players of recent years who has won a great battle over injury and who has made a fine "comeback” to the Elon campus to resume his col lege education. That young man who has watched and pulled for the Fighting Chris tians from his wheel chair on the sidelines is Randy Warren, who played as a start ing guard for Elon’s great teams of 1963 and 1964, two combinations who tied for the Conference crown in 1963 and then won the Conference outi'ight in 1964. Warren in those two championship years wound up a career of four seasons in a Christian grid uniform, and then early in May of 1965 he suffered paralytic injuries in a fall while visiting the home of friends in Gibsonville. For weeks and months it was ±ought that the injuries might prove fatal, but Randy Warren used the same fighting spirit which had carried him in Elon’s grid battles to fight the paralyzing effects of his injury, and during the past summer he was able to return to the oak-shaded campus to resume his education. He has been an interested spectator at most of Elon’s football workouts this fall, and who knows but what his presence has inspired the Fighting Christian football squad to "Win One For Warren,” Just as the im mortal Knute Rockne Implored Notre Dame to "Win One” for the great George Gipp almost half a century ago. Christian On Program (Continued from page 1) to Bobby when he was six by his Uncle Sylves ter, an accomplished drummer in Europe be fore he came to Ameri ca. It was Bobby’s mo ther, protective about her furniture back when he drummed constantly on everything, who got him his first drum, a paper snare drum. From that beginning, Bobby’s interest in drum ming persisted, so his brother-in-law, Don Acri, a fine violinist and an or chestra leader himself, took Bobby to George Pe- tronia with whom he stu died for three years. Petronia was a student of Roy C. Knapp, and it was natural that Bobby should go on to Knapp for advanced study. Bobby was only ten when he be gan study with Knapp, and it was soon after that when Bobby played his first professional en gagement. At the ripe old age of twelve, Bobby Christian studied under Walter Dennis, and then Bobby began arranging for re hearsal bands. Only one year later, at age thir teen, Bobby played his first theatre engagement and was hailed as a child prodigy. Dance bands, playing in them and writing for them, then caught Bob by’s fancy, and this facet of percussion music mak ing occupied him for the next fifteen years. All the while he continued study with Roy Knapp. From 1941 until 1953, Bobby Christian headed the biggest school of per cussion in the country, coaching such great per formers as Cozy Cole, Jose Bethancourt, Lou Singer, Hubert Anderson and Frank Rullo, and it was then that Whiteman tagged him as the world’s greatest percussionist.

Elon College students may secure tick ets by showing their ID cards, and these cards should be displayed at the ticket box office. The Elon Players will operate once more this year under the sponsor ship and direction of Prof. Edward Pilkington, who also teaches the various Elon College courses in the dramatic arts in the regular curriculum. SPORTS SPOTS (Continued from page 3) give the Cats a taste of defeat for Elon’s home coming. , Both the Christians and Catamounts have been somewhat unpredictable in their early-season contests, but both have shown fine offensive pow er and good defensive strength at times. How ever, the home should give Elon the ad vantage and the victory-
