The first appointments to

Neely as defense attorney.
Positions of attorney gen

Colson said that the other
positions were to be filled
later this week. There were
several people being consi
dered for conmiittees and
judicial seats.
Appointments to home
coming, student life, tea
cher education, athletic,
Communitcation Media
Board, and the Liberal Arts
Forum committees have not
been made. Colson says,
“Any student interested in a
position on these committees
should come by the SGA
office before the first Senate
meeting.” The office is in
Long Student Center, Room
209.
“The SGA is optimistic
about the choices, and we
are hoping for more appli
cations by students,” Colson
said. The first meeting of

I.F.C. asks for time to adjust
by Jeff Batts
“We have quite a job
ahead of us in keeping our
fraternity system alive here
at Elon,” says Larry Sond-
haus, president of the Inter-
fraternity Council.
Sondhaus, of Kappa Ep
silon, was referring to last
‘Prepare to be stopped for check’
by Robin Adams
The library of Elon Col
lege has started a book
check system at the main
exit doors. The book check
means that students, faculty,
staff, and other library users
will be stopped when leaving
the Tbrary to have brief
cases, books, and handbags
opened for inspection. The
object is to see that any
library books leaving the
library have been properly
checked out.
The new check was ini-
fiated in late August by the
library committee because of
a loss of 500 volumes a year
for the last 10 years, or
$7,500 annually in a budget
of less than $35,000 for
books. The lost or stolen
books are high circulation
items, which means that the
eader may not find the
fjooks or materials when he
looks for them.
The library committee and
the staff realize that a book
check system is a serious
step to take. They are
aware that misunderstand
ings may arise, Charles
Lowry, head librarian, says
“For this reason, everyone is
being checked. Mr. Lowry
asks “everyone to be pre
pared to stop for the check
and to remember that the
check is for the preservation
of our collection.”
Students are asked to rem
ember that there is a book
drop in the Alamance Buil
ding rotunda. However,
reserved books should not
be returned in the rotunda
because they may be overdue
before the books are picked
up every day.
LD. admits to free concert
year’s crackdown by the
administration. The crack
down resulted in the loss of
housing privileges by two
fraternities, probation for
another, and a list of new
regulations for each frater
nity to abide by. The
fraternities also were re
quired to go through a
charter review which exa
mined the rituals, commu
nity projects, grade point
averages, and overall stan
dings in the eyes of the
campus as well as the town.
Helping Sondhaus this
year in the I.F.C. on this
and other fraternity business
is Dr. David Crowe, assis
tant professor of history,
who is serving as advisor to
the I.F.C.
Other officers are Tommy
Moore, vice president. Sig
ma Phi Epsilon; Peter
Roughton, vice president.
Kappa Sigman; Scott Ma
tthews, secretary, Tau Kap
pa Epsilon; Barry Ratliff,
treasurer. Kappa Psi Nu;
and Jeff Batts, reporter.
Sigma Pi.
Sondhaus advises the fra
ternities to cooperate with
the college administration
and faculty as much as
possible.
“Each frat must obey the
rules as closely as they can,”
he says. “However, we ask
in return that the adinistra-
tion be paitent with our
mistakes because we are in a
different situation, and need
time to adjust.”
Through the college insti
tutional membership in the
Alamance Community Con
cert Association, all stu
dents, faculty and staff may
attend the four 1979-80 pro
grams free of cha/ge.
Presentation of I.D. cards at
the door of Walter Williams
Auditorium in Burlington is

Dr. Walter Westafer,
chairman of the Fine Arts
Department and president of
the Community Concert As
sociation, announced the
arrangement which should
entice many from the Elon
campus.

anian Folk Ballet on Oct. 2.
This Bucharest group of 45
