papers to review such
stories,taking inventory of
the things which have hap
pened just as the business
world takes inventory of
the progress which it has
made during any given
year.
Among the big stories
which appeared in the Ma
roon and Gold columns
during 1967 were some
which broke in one big
news splash in a single
issue, while others came
in a series of related ac
counts which were spread
throughout the year and
yet were related into one
story- A review of those
big stories, rated on the
basis of lasting impact on
Elon College, dramatic
nature and reader in
terest, the “Top Ten
Stories of 1967” on the
Elon campus included the
following:
(1) the NEW LIBRARY
T he awarding of the con
tract for Elon’s new li
brary appeared in the
very first issue of Maroon
and Gold for 1967, and
there were stories con
cerning its progress at
intervals through the
year. It is stiR rising
rapidly near the West Gate
of the campus and will
certainly mean much to
Elon when completed.
(2) NEW GRID REGIME
Few stories had greater
impact on campus life
than the new football re
gime, with a new coach
ing staff announced in
January, much interest in
spring practice and with
improved fortunes for the
Christian eleven in the
autumn campaign, which
saw Elon post a 5-3-1
record and battle Lenoir
Rhyne for the Conference
title.
(3) GROUND-BREAKING
The breaking of ground
for the new and modern
living-dining complex,
which will be built north
of the Alumni Memorial
Gymnasium as the first
unit of Elon’s new North
Campus” was held as a
preliminary to the annual
Elon College Homecom
ing observance, and it
signified another giant
step forward for the col
lege.
(4) CAMPUS DEATHS-
The campus, including
both faculty and students,
was saddened by several
tragic deaths during the
year. Included were the
deaths of three Elon stu
dents in automobile acci
dents during the past fall
term, all of which left a
tragic impact on the cam
pus as a whole.
(5) RENOVATIONS—
The campus was the scene
of extensive renovations
to Alamance, Mooney and
the Duke Science Build
ings during the year, with
improvements long need
ed made possible through
a grant of more than $100,
000 made to the college
through federal agencies.
