By ROGER OLIVER
In a recent interview
with Entertainment Com
ment Committee Chair
man, Neil Hening, the
Maroon and Gold explored
some of the problem s and
plans for entertainment
this year.
The first question was
naturally about Spring
Weekend. This year there
will be two concerts. On
Saturday night entertain
ment will be provided by
“The Happenings.” The
show Sunday afternoon
will be provided by “The
Happenings.” The show
Sunday afternoon will be
the "Iron Butterfly.”
There will also be a dance
Friday night. The Hening
stated that "This is the
first weekend since
Homecoming of 1967 that
there have been two con
certs.”
Major problems faced
this year, according to
Hening, included: the un
certainty of S. G. A. funds
due to the audit, people
who try to help but who
are actually a hinder-
ance, S. G. A. politick
ing, and the stereotyped
choice of entertainment
on the Elon campus.
Hening said that the
students expect expensive
entertainment while only
limited funds are avail
able. “I am afraid that the
students will not even at
tend such shows as “The

Happenings,” feeling that
since it is not a ‘big
name’ show it will not be
^ood.” He added that
‘there is a lot of good
entertainment at a small
price.”
Hening felt strongly
that there is an “element
of students” who received
no entertainment at all on
campus that they truly
enjoyed. He suggested
that another weekend
would help to make a more
well - rounded enter
tainment season on cam
pus. Other suggestions
included: more mon
ey, perhaps, if possible,
from the college itself,
and more participation in
the entertainment now
provided.
Finally Hening was
asked if the Spring Week
end show was the best
possible? He replied that
this was the ‘ best all-
around” show could be
obtained with such limit
ed funds and time. He add
ed that the senators, offi
cers, and other members
of the S. G. A. were poll
ed as to their preference
and that this was the most
preferred show.
The Student Govern
ment Association has an
nounced that students may
file for S. G. A. execu
tive offices and class offi-
ce^'March 17 - 24. Elec
tions for these offices
will be held April 6 and
7.
Filing for Senate offi
ces will be April 3 -
10, and elections for these
offices will be held April
14.
Applications are avail
able in the SGA office
(second floor. Student
Center). Applicants must
have at least a 2.0 aver
age, and those filing for
SGA executive offices
must be a junior or
senior.

Elon and most of the stu
dents, especially those
from Staley and Moffitt
dorms, are glad to see
the new addition.
The new addition is, of
course, the Campus Shop,

$5.00 while the main shop
will be cashing checks
for no more than $20.00.

In his lecture Dr. Kraus
emphasized the value of
recreation to every in
dividual living in the U.S.
His lecture was given in
3 categories pertaining to
the field of recreation:
recreation itself, race,
and inter-city crises.
Dr. Kraus stated that
the concept of recreation
is widely misunderstood.
The term “play” is of
ten referred to in sum
ming up recreation, but
there is much more to
recreation than just the
term “play.”
Play in itself only re
stores you physically and
mentally to work.
Through his personal
viewpoint r e c r e ation
serves as a release, an
emotional outlet. In hav
ing a true meaning of re
creation, a person can
keep himself physically
fit throughout adult-hood,
conditioning his recre
ational activities.
In looking at the social
aspect of recreation. Dr.
Kraus pointed out the main
asset was its ability to
