end can be yours for only $4,
so come on and make Spring
Weekend ’78 an Elon weekend
worth remembering.”
They call themselves “Mother’s Finest” because they play
nothing but the best; packed with energy and loaded with
excitement.

SGA president, while another
junior, Annette Metcalf, is in
contention for the vice-presi
dency. Lee Berryman, a jun
