MAonnN AND GOLD —_ Il«li ; ; thkee selected as neif meubers of order of oak Reading Discussions FRIDAY. MARCH 22.1968 i At Teachers^ Meet REID THIS J ■ciHNt Elon "Pot" Luck 1 have just pinched my own bottom. Am I really for real? The latest Elon alumni magazine carries a psy chedelic cover. This strikes me as staid Bill Terrell’s wildest flight, yet. I’m used to more down-to-earth fare out there on the front page. Maybe I’m so blamed old I m just not with it. Hopheads and pot par ties at nightfall under Senior Oak? 1 hope not. I think maybe ancient Bill has been snowed, er, misled. 1 don’t like to Aink of Elon people being a bunch of dopes— that is, addicts. Naive I must be. I’ve yet to indulge in tea. Or coffee. Or wine. Or beer, which I re gard as carbonated goat, well, never mind what I think it is. 1 am in a minority on my estima tion, anyway. I do not pretend to apply for sainthood, in case you’re interested. Yet, when our bunch was at Elon in the For ties, nobody drank, except two ministerial students and I think they were faking. As for sniffing glue and all that, the closest we ever got was the day af ter we tied a goat in the library. He licked the book bindings and there was I’ll admit, an aroma of wet glue, among other things, in the air. How ever, in defense of our position, we did not place the goat in the book re pository solely for the purpose of getting drunk. About the worst influ ence in our time, actually, was the dining hall. We had some meals over there that were pret ty dopey. I understand one gets sick after an LSD flight. 1 suffered similar effects at the college mess hall. 1 suspect LSD was tried out on us at Elon years ago under a pall of secrecy. You know: “pot” luck. So , at this point, you surely must regard Danieley, Strum, Dan iel, H., and others of this ilk as goodie two-shoes. They didn’t drink,smoke, swear, gamble, take dope and all that. Of course not. They had no time for such. It would have interfer ed sharply with a social activity requiring all of their time in pioneering; Love-ins. Dr. Margaret Early, professor of education and associate director of the Reading and Language Arts Center at Syracuse University, will be on the Elon College campus this afternoon and tonight for the annual spring educa tional conference under sponsorship of the Elon College Department of Psychology and Educa tion. The topic for this 1968 conference, which gets underway this afternoon and continues through a dinner and evening ses sion, will be “Every Tea cher Should Teach Read ing,” with special em phasis on the secondary school level of instruc tion. The conference is strictly an invitational e- vent, with the invitations issued through the of fices of the superintend ents of the county schools in Alamance, Guilford, Orange and Caswell Coun ties and the city school systems of Burlington and Reidsville. The afternoon session will be held in the Moon ey Chapel Theatre at 4:30 o clock, featuring a lec ture on “ReadingInstruc tion in the Junior and Sen ior High School.” follow ed by an open discussion. This will be followed at 6:30 o’clock by a din ner gathering at the Mc- Ewen Dining Hall, and then at 7:30 o’clock there will be another lecture and discussion session on the topic of “What Can Every Teacher Do?” Dr. Early began her teaching career in the public schools of Massa chusetts and Connecti- cutt and was later a re search fellow at Boston University, where she re ceived the Doctor of Ed ucation degree in 1954.

Elon Grid Schedule (Continued from page 3) The Frederick Lions, who faced Elon in the fin al game of the year last season, will move to the opening spot on the sche dule, with Concord filling the second spot and the remainder of thecardfea- turing Guilford, Appala chian, Presbyterian,Car- son-Newman, Catawba, Western Carolina, New berry and Lenoir Rhyne in that order. The Christian schedule is balanced between five home games and five games on the road, with seven of the ten contests being against Carolinas Conference foes and counting toward the title. As the Elon spring practices came to a close. Coach Wilson expressed himself as well pleased with the play of his squad, which included 24 lener- men among the 51 candi dates, and three other letter vets are due to be on hand when the regular fall practices get under way. The Elon 1968 sche dule, as listed by Coach Wilson, includes the fol lowing games: Sept. 14—Frederick (A) Sept. 21—Concord (H) Sept. 28— Guilford (A) Oct. 5—Appalachian (A) Oct. 12~Presbyterian(A) Oct. 19—Car-Newman(H) Oct.26—Catawba (H) Nov. 2—WestCarolina(A) Nov. 9—Newberry (H) Nov. 16—Lenoir Rhyne(H) ium here on Thursday night, March 14th. The concert was part of a North Carolina tour for the group, which was or ganized in 1957. The choir and orches tra, featuring 35 youthful musicians, had previously made tours into Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Florida, Georgia and South Carolina, with a program including both sacred and secular m usic. WIN OR LOSE (Continued from Page 3) post will see Coach Drake call on Don Brady, with Bob Bulla ready as a reserve. Both Brady and Bulla are lettermen. This year’s pitching will rotate around the trio of John Austin, Alan Co- lenda and Dewey Capps in starting roles, and Coach Drake will have three fine letter veterans in relief roles. These veterans are Paul Amundsen, Burgin Beale and Joe Byrtus, all of whom worked as starters a year ago. The Christians got off to a rugged start on their schedule this week in meeting Guilford, High Point and Catawba, strong Carolinas Conference ri vals in the very first week of the season. Re sults of these games were not known at this writing, but Coach Drake faced them with confidence. Special credit is due to Coach Drake and his boys for the fine job they have done in getting the ball park in playing condi tion. 1 am sure that many students are not aware of the fact that the main tenance work on the field is done by the coaches and players themselves. Let’s show appreciation by supporting such a fine team this year.
