FREEDOM N IN OUR HANDS V olume IV Number 6 Elon College, North Carolina London group meets tonight at 6 Mooney theater October 13,1977 m Kappa Siggets 1 more year “Kappa Sigma will be allowed to sUy In their house through the 78-79 academic year. Robin Fleming elected B.M.O.C. by John Atldnson The Kappa Sigma fraternity will be able to remain in their house through the 1978-79 academic year, according to William G. Long, dean of student affairs. The house and adjacent lot, located directly across Wil liamson Avenue from the Elon College post office, is being sold by the college to the town. Negotiations for completion of the sale are now underway. It was originally thought when the impending sale was announced that the fraternity would have to relocate at the end of the 1978 academic term. The sale of the fraternity house and adjacent lot to the town was proposed by Elon College President Fred Young in an effort to improve rela tions between the college and the town. The land will be used for the location of a new town hall. Under the announced ar rangement, the Kappa Sigma fraternity will be relocated when they leave their present house. President Young said that a specific location is being considered. This house and lot have never been involved in the pending court case brought by the town against the college. by Bebe Richards The students of Elon elected Robin Fleming of TKE fra ternity Big Man onCampus for 1977-78. For the fourth year, Tri Sigma Sorority sponsored the BMOC contest. First run- ner-up was Earl Weirwick, a sophomore and representative from Alpha Phi Omega. The second runner-up was the SGA president, Tim Moore, repre senting Sigma Pi. Tri Sigma holds the contest annually in an effort to raise money for the Robbie Page Memorial Fund which all chapters of their national sorority support. This fund has been used to build a children’s ward in two hospitals, one in Chapel Hill and one in New Orleans. The wing is desig nated for the care of children with special diseases, and for handicapped and severely burned patients. This year’s BMOC contest raised $276 which will be contributed to the Chapel Hill children’s wmg. Escorted by Tri Sig Jane Healy, Elon’s BMOC Robin Fleming is a senior and busi ness major from Columbia, N.C. He has been a member of Tau Kappa Epsilon since the spring of 1977. LeAnne May, chairman of the Robbie Page Memorial Fund committee and the other sisters of Tri Sigma congratu late Robin and sincerely thank the students for their support of the BMOC contest. Students receive financial aid by Donna Owen The financial aid office at Elon College assigns jobs on campus to students who are qualified. Not all of the students who work on campus receive financial aid. For ex ample, qualified lab assistants are paid by the department rather than the financial aid office. There are not enough jobs for the students who apply for the work/study program, but there are also jobs that stu dents do not take, such ^ work in the cafeteria or in maintenance. Many students prefer outside jobs because they get more hours at better pay. The rate for students on the work/study program is the same for each: $1.96 per hour. In 1974, the rate per hour was $1.62. In four years the rate per hour has increased only 34 cents. Many students feel they work hard for little money, es pecially those trying to pay their way through college. Pay for these on-campus jobs comes to students in monthly paychecks to use as they please. This pay is not in cluded in the aid of the student, but if they don’t work at the college for the money, they have to get it another way. Financial aid at Elon is very good. Much of the aid is paid by the government. How much aid a student receives depends on his family’s financial situa tion. Some of this aid is through scholarships: football, academic, etc. He has nine years after he graduates from college to pay this aid back with three precent interest.

President Fred Young noted that Wachovia has been a regular contributor and sup porter of Elon for a number of years and has made funds available for several improve ments. “Wachovia’s loyalty and support for Elon College is greatly appreciated by every one associated with the in stitution and the PRIDE Cam paign,” Dr. Young said. “This gift represents only one aspect of Wachovia’s continued in terest in community develop ment.” The gift was presented to Dr. Young by R.L.
