© PHI MU RUSHES PHI MU Phi Mu had it’s Sorority Rush Party Monday March 11, 1974 at 2nd- floor of Long Student Center. The party was a real smash. The party was to be a circus and all of the girls were to wear costumes pertaining to the circus, and that’s just what happened.

Ac cording to the president Melissa Hinkle those pledging are: Martha Basley, Debbie Carson, Anne Fowler, Melinda Day, Jeter Gregg, Becky Ingram, Ellen Joram, Pat McCauley, Susie Mills and Betsy Boss. “Our next meeting will be held at 6:00 pm on Monday evening in the Long Student Center Loungue.” by Carl Lykes Literary NIGHTMARE AT ELON George finally made his way back to the dorm, but to his sur prise none of his friends were there. Where were they?!! They were always there at lunch time! George finally admitted to himself that they must have gone on with out him. “Weil”, he sighed “I sup pose I will go to lunch by myself and meet my friends there.” It was a haunting and treacherous path to the famous eating palace of Elon College. George continued to search as he walked hoping to see a familiar face among the crowd of strangers which he imagined to be staring at him, since he was alone. Finally, after turning the corner around the auditorium his destina tion was in sight. How slow, he thought, I seem to be walking when I’m alone. As George entered he was relieved to find that there was no line. Yes, he had arrived at a good time. He reached in h's back pocket and was amazed at how easily his I.D. card slid out . . . thank God for double knits! After the sleepy girl marked out “D” on his card and pretended to actually compare the picture on the card with his face, he picked up his tray and silverware only to be appalled once again by the strange sub stances that lay before him. He was feeling brave today so he took a chance on the liver. Next, he started to take some corn but re membered the ugly sight he would produce the next day if he didn’t chew it well enough, so he turned it down. For desert George picked up some of the famous ARA plastic jello and a brick cake. He was reluctant to take the brick cake because it looked so huge that he didn’t know if he could eat it all. His mother had always told him to “waste not, want not” and he even remembered the starving people in Europe, but he supposed that just this once he would sin. George then pulled his napkin and held his tray with the precision of a Howard Jolinson’s waiter, while reaching for his drinking glasses. As usual, the milk machine was out but he decided to wait it out while the long-haired cafeteria worker grace fully reolaced the long awaited milk. Meanwhile', George was mumbling sinful words to himself concerning the inefficiency of the employees, esoecially this long hair who was “out front” today. George regained his comoosure. picked up a salad bowl, pushed the lever on the ketsup carton, and then tried the other ketsuo ca>'ton which was indeed not emoty. As the red fluid oozed forth he began to look a'-ound in anticioation of findina his friends. Yes. they were there and 3n unt;iken seat awaited his oosterior. He returned to his tray, oicked it un, and headed for the Dotato rhios. After obtainino his ch'ns Gporne turned around to head for h's friends. Suddenly, he stoDoed cold; a lumo swelled in his throat. RWfiat began driooinq like Morton's salt. Yes. the ultimate dis aster had occured: his friends were aone! He started to wonder what he had done to deserve this fate and beaan to p'-av for assistance. Sinr'e he was a devout Biliv G^a- harnist he knew how to talk to Rod evp>n how to "break the ire” at na'-tips, George aot the message to simolv sit with someone else. Yes an alternative! But as he looked around he saw no one else he knew except a girl with bright green eyeshadow whom he had met at the Jerry Farwell Crusade. However, he dared not sit with her, for she might think him strange. It was now clear what he must do. He would have to disgrace himself and sit alone. But do not despair for George, dear reader, for the very next day he joined a fraternity and lived happily ever after. Yes, he even got a job as a cafeteria worker and they say if you pass the dishroom on a dark and foggy night you can still hear him cry, "Let’s get those trays in!!!” SPOT art student Art Exhibit And Compe tition sponsored by the Piedmont University Center, Winston-Salem, N.

Diane Dunker POETRY by Kathy Brown Saying Little but Meaning Much and Feeling Deeply There on the stark whiteness of her pillow was the mascara shadow of a tear. A world surrounds you Full of people with problems Which they gladly leave with you and they go lightly away and your heart cries and your mind sighs hoping for a better way. Here you are again . . . on the outside looking in. A world surrounds you full of people who love and they will gladly share with you and you will go lightly away and your heart will sing and your mind will dance, and you will know a better way.
