Page 2 Maroon and Gold Editorials A Poor Tradition By LARRY SAGE It is not surprising to see many class office posi tions and S.G.A. offices, with the exception of Vice President, go unchallenged. With the exception of last year, this type of student response to the opportunity to run for office is a tradition at Elon. What is really sorry about the whole situation is the fact that the office of the SGA President goes un challenged once again. Last year there were four candi dates, which provided one of the most exciting elec tions Elon had ever experienced. Of course the question why; crops up when asking the reason for this lack of interest or whatever in running for office. Is the present president unbeatable? Does the student body feel that he is the best man around and therefore why challenge him? Or is it because the students really do not give a darn? Whatever the answer, the answer is bound to be based on apathy. A certain other president stated once there is really no apathy at Elon, if there is, it isn't bad. If this is true, then why, that prevalent question, isn’t there more active concern about student govern ment?

The school policy does notal low a student to live on campus without paying for his meals. Because their jobs are not on campus, some students miss a number of meals each week that are already paid for. The students have to eat and generally end up buying food in the Stu dent Union, which is run by the same Food Ser vice that operates the cafeteria. These work ing students are paying double for each meal they buy. This problem was brought to the attention of the Cafeteria Manager at a recent confrontation with a proposed solution of alloting a designated amount of credit in the Union for the students in this particular pre dicament. The Manager of the Food Service stated that he could not afford this type of solution. What we can’t understand is that if the students have already paid for their meals, why should a couple of hamburgers a day ruin the Food Ser vice’s well being? Something should be done for this hungry mi nority! -Chuck Ball -Ron Beanes I Spring Weekend To the Editors: This year’s Spring Weekend entertainment is an absurd joke. The money was spent too rashly and quite unwise ly. Not only have these groups. Iron Butterfly and The Happenings, been rendered into oblivion, but are at the present time only appreciated by the culturally immature. Oh, the embarrassment or rejecting the superb talent of Judy Collins for a group my tenth grade brother would not wish to see. Here at college we are supposed to be the pro tectors of quality. Oh Miss Collins, I am deep in sorrow for your wound ed ego, because here at Elon we “groove on the HEAVY sounds of the Iron Butterfly.” Fartherest from my mind is an attempt to dic tate music tastes, but it is obvious someone else has done that here. With two failures in his hands this year. I’m initiating a campaign to expel Neil Hening as Entertainment Committee Chairman. Should we send him to Elon Middle School to sell tickets to raise money for a show that can be ap preciated, or should we get rid of him now? In compliance with previous experiences, it is evi dent that expulsion is the only answer. Your sup port could be seen in oth er letters to this column. -Edgar White III Correction To the Editors: Re the articles of wrestlers Eligible for NAIA Finals” and “Elon Defeats UNC-CH in Con solation Game” which were printed in the March edition of the Maroon and gold: The University of North Carolina at Charlotte was erroneously referred to as UNC-CH. The cor rect reference to the campus is UNL-C. The students of the Chapel Hill campus, which is UNC-CH, have suffered through a year of I»or athletic records and the addition of two more losses is unwelcome. The Religious Life Sponsors Lectures Dr. George K. Sch weitzer was the guest speaker for the Religious Life Committee’s three day religious emphasis seminar April 8, 9, and 10. The theme for the oc casion, the first in sev eral years, was “Science, Religion and a Planet in Crisis.” Dr. Schweitzer kicked off his visit with an 11:30 lecture on “Scientific Faith and Religious Knowledge” in the Senate group was composed of philosophy, religious and chemistry classes and others who were inter ested. Informal discussions were held on both Thurs day and Friday in place of regular chapel. use of the correct ini tials of the respective University of North Ca rolina campuses in your articles of the future would be appreciated. -Jim Holloman UNC at Chapel Hill (The Maroon and Gold re grets this error.)
