The Pendulum
November 1, 1979
Candidates vie for town aldermen and mayor
people, schools, and brings
interested people to Elon
College. For me, this has
been putting aesthetic theory
into practice for a commu
nity. My expertise in com
munications should be use
ful to the town because a
democratic community, to be
successful, must have an
informed electorate.
Changes or goals? I will
work to improve the quality
of life in Elon College by
seeking long-term solutions
to college-town friction and
by encouraging active co
operation in making this one
of the best small towns in
N.C. I favor long-term
platming that will meet future
needs of the whole commu
nity; the creation of fraternity
and sorority circles on the
new campus area to remove
these student groups from
town residential areas; the
forming of a community
watch program throughout
town and college to hdp

eradicate vandalism and
stealing; an immediate study
of business-area parking; im
proved dissemination of com
munity news to and among all
residents; more participation
by townspeople in college
programs, sports events as
well as courses, the register
ing and preservation of his
toric homes and buildings;
and continuation of improve
ments in appearance of busi
ness areas, campus and resi-
tial neighborhoods.
BARRY SIMMONS: Qual
ifications? I am a concerned
citizen with the necessary, ex
pertise to deal with govem-
r — «*
mental units on the local,
state, and national levels. I
have an under-graduate de
gree in political science with
local government as my spec
ialty. During the incorpora
tion of the Elon College Fire
Department, I acted as the
chief chartering agent. I was
also appointed a member to
the bovd of directors of the
Barry Simmoru
fire department. I have con
ducted several municipal gov
ernment studies and evalua
tions. I worked actively on
several ordinances in Elon.
Changes or goals? Con
tinued good govenmient with
sound management. I would
like additional methods of
obtaining more revenue to
hold down taxes. New busi
ness or annexation could be
the answer. I would like
cooperation and awareness
between town and college.
SID NORTON: Quallflca-
dons? I have been in the real
estate business for 16 years.
Knowing the best land use for
hte town of Elon College can
help develop the town.
Changes or goals? I am for
continued town growth to a
reasonable limit. I am against
bringing in industry that
would destroy the image of
the town. I feel relations
between the college and the
town are the best they have
been. I also feel they should
continue this way.
MARVIN GRANT: Qual
ifications? I am a business
man and a former mayor for
eight years with two years as
an alderman. For the last six

years I have not been in local
politics. I believe that busi
ness is good experience for an
alderman.
Changes or goals? I plan
no major changes. I think the
town-college relations are
good and with cooperation,
they can improve still more.
ED T. SIMMONS: Qual
ifications? I have been a res
ident since 1970, and I am
running as the ‘Good Neigh
bor Candidate’ because that’s
what i want to be — a good
neighbor and voice of the
people. I have had 20 years
experience in safety engineer
ing with Western Electric. I
owned and operated my own
commercial photography busi
ness for 14 years in Win-
ston-Salem. I did road en
gineering for the U.S. Forest
Service. I’ve worked with and
for people all my life.
Changes or goals? I am
against Elon College being
annexed by Burlington. I am
for the orderly growth of the
town. Taxes should be kept to
a minimum and at the same
time the town must be well
maintained and protected. 1
will be the good neighbor.
CHARLES GANTOS: Quali
fications? Mr. Cantos was
unavailable for questioning.
His campaign material does
not mention qualifications.
Changes or goals? I am
against annexation of Elon
College into Burlington. At
present, under state and town
law, three aldermen could
vote Elon College into Burl
ington. We must pursue an
amendment to the present law
to call for referendum be
cause a decision of this
magnitude should not be
made by three people. I am
cont. from p. 5
for widening the tax base bv
expanding the town Umits
rather than increasing pro
perty taxes. I am for all
groups being heard, but 1 am
against an unfair dispropor
tionate influence by any
individual or group. (Taken
from Mr. Cantos’ campaign
publicity.)

well in advance of the pre

grasps the hand; no help is
given. Or imagine this: a
helping hand is extended, but
it is grasped frantically by
dozens of other hands so that
the helping hand is over
whelmed; very little help can
be given.
