Emanons tour England
By Gary Spitler
The Emanons of Elon have
been spreading the fame of Elon
College around the map in the
last two months. The jazz-rock
group has performed at high
schools, junior colleges and in
various other engagements to
mark the completion of their
1976 tour. The Emanons, under
the direction of Prof. Jack White
and Dr. David Bragg,
performed during the Feb. 17
assembly program and also in a
concert which featured Herbie
Mann on the Elon campus Feb.
20. The biggest performance of
their 1976 tour may be said to
have been the concert in
England during the winter term.
"The Grand Ball de la Douane"
was a performance in High
Wycombe in Buckinghamshire.
Members of the jazz group
stayed in English homes of band
sponsors.
Prof. Jack White, leader of the
Emanons, considers the trip to
Europe a success as were the
other performances given
during the '76 tour. The
Emanons have made a name for
themselves and Elon College.
EC"PIRG updates price survey
The Elon College Chapter of
the North Carolina Public
Interest Research Group (NC
PIRG) released the results of the
February price survey of four
area stores frequently
patronized by Elon College
students.
The survey, conducted during
the first week of February, was
compiled by EC-PIRG local
board members Steve Dunlop
and Rudy Daniels. Twenty-one
commonly purchased items were
selected for the survey. Ten of
these twenty-one commodities
were available in all four stores.
Totaled, the prices of these items
are as follows:
1. Pantrv (Elon College) —
$7.80.
2. Winn-Dixie (Elon College)
— 56.51.
3. Food World (Burlington) —
S6.12.
4. 7-Eleven (Church Street) —
S7.89.
A similar survey was
conducted in November, 1975.
by Elon students Laurie Hafner
and David Woxi. EC-PlRG will
continue a series of surveys
throughout the remainder of the
curricular year.
According to EC-PIRG
spokesman Randy Flynn, "Of
course it is tx> early to draw
bro^d conclusions from our
surveys at this time; however,
over the year we plan to compile
a more thorough picture of area
prices as they affect students and
others.
“In the meantime," continued
the Elon College junior,
“students can use the
information pro\ided by our
PIRG survey. This information

WELN broadcasting date delayed
By Stewart Mullin
Despite the continuing efforts
of students, faculty and
administration. WEI.N will not
broadcast before the 1976 fall
term.
During winter tei ni, the FC.C
rejected Elon's application for an
Educational K.\I station Ix-cau-sc
the fret|uency choscn was in
conflict with several other
broadcasting frequencies
already established in this area.
• he Student (^mimunications
Media Board imniediaielv
contracted another frequencx
search which is necessary in
refiling the application with the
FCC.
The fref|iienc\ search will take
approximately two weeks. If the
search is successful, WF.LN's
application will Ik’ resubniitteil.
Approval, if granted, will take at
least 30 to 90 da> s. Construction
and installation of the
transmitter will take another 60
to 90 days.
Preparation for the
broadcasting facilities arc
otherwise complete. Funding for
the station is a regular
consideration of the .Media
Board and the SGA. I'he
renovation of a room in Harper
(Center for the studio is
conjpleted. Training in radio
broadcasting is offered through
the communications ciuriculiuii
and several students have
completed the course and
oi)tained the neces.s;u-\ licensing.
■All |jossil)le avenues are Ix-ing
considered in establishing a
radio station at Elon. I'he
administration has clearly stateil
that they will do everything
possible to make \\ EI-N a
reality.
can be used' to help them
personally evaluate the dollar
costs of "quickness" and
“convenience" which are the
main benefits of two of the stores
we surveyed.”
Steve Dunlop, chairperson of
the Elon College Chapter of ,\C
PIRG, evaluates the survey- from
the perspective of the PIRG
group, “From a broad outlK>k,
we seek through the price
surveys to help students become
more conscious and informed
consumers, thereby contributing
to the more efficient operation
of our market economy."
Price surveys are one segment
of the work being launched by
EC-PIRG. All interested
students are invited to the next
local board meeting to be held
on Wed., March 3 at 3:30 p.m. in
the large lounge of Long
Student Center.
