E-4 Drive Making Progress The the Elon College E-4 Campaign is making continued progress was the report made to friends of the college and mem bers of the Burlington Ro tary and Kiwanis Clubs, who gathered for a dinner meeting on the Elon Col lege campus on Monday night, February 3rd. Charles F. Myers, Jr., chairman of the board of Burlington Industries, was the featured speaker for the dinner meeting held as another step in the college’s E-4 drive. The drive is designed to raise $3,000,000 in the current phase of a five- year campaign. The name E-4 comes from the statement that “Elon Ex pands Its Educational Ex cellence.” The Burlington Indus- ^ies executive praised Elon College for its ef forts to upgrade its phy sical plant and academic standards, but he also told the assembled friends of Elon and higher education that “need alone will not attract in years ahead the corporate support which private higher education has attracted in the past. He declared that busi ness leaders look for a satisfactory return on their investment, and he urged private colleges such as Elon to work for “better avenues of communication between educators and business leaders,” and he chal lenged college adminis trators to prove their a- bility to use funds ef fectively in improving higher education.

The band unit, which includes sixteen students, performing under the di rection of Prof. Jack O. White, will also play two other concerts, one of them a program for an Elon alumni group in Tidewater Virginia, and will play a program over a Norfolk TV station. The Emanons band is no new musical combina tion, for the Elon musi cians attracted high praise when they were in vited twice to play con certs at the New York Worlds Fair some years ago. Organized at that time, the very name of the band is interesting, for the word Em anon is really “No Name” spell ed backwards. Of course it is fitting that the word forms alliterative initials with the college name it self. The Em anon tour will begin with two concerts at neighboring high schools today, when the group will play at Gibson- ville High School and at Western Alamance High School. Those two programs near the campus will serve as preliminaries to the real tour, which gets underway next Monday. February 17th, when the young musicians will play Morehead High School in Eden on Monday morning, followed by an afternoon concert at Statesville High School. Travelling northward into Virginia, the Ema nons will play at the George Wythe High School in Wytheville, Va.. next Tuesday morning, follow ed that afternoon by an appearance at Bluefield High School in Bluefield. West Virginia. Still moving northward the band will appear at Lane High School in Char lottesville, Va., and on the following day, Thurs day, February 20th, it will play two concerts for the students of Falls Church High in Falls Church, Va. The Friday itinerary calls for a concert in Fairfax, Va., although the group has not been an nounced, and that night the (Continued on Page 2)
