Homecoming includes music^ all night movies, picnic by Joy Hamilton Festivities for Homecom ing started last night at the “Beat the Bear” hunter dress-alike contest in Huf- fines parking lot. The Elon cheerleaders and several foot ball players showed much school spirit at the bonfire. Tomorrow night from 8-1 will be the semi-formal cotil lion dance presentation in cluding homecoming court. Several dance groups from Elon and the surrounding area will be performing. Two bands featured “Symbol 8,” a top 40 band and “Seventh of May,” capitalized on beach music. Tickets are $3 stag and $5 couples and are available from the Campus Shop, The Daytrippers, ASA, and BCS. The dance will be held in the gym. Friday at midnight ARA will sponsor, a snack and at 1 a.m. all night movies will be shown. These include the “Wild Bunch” and cartoons and small skits (Rascals, Bugs Bunny, Three Stooges, and Road Runner). The pre-game show at Williams Stadium will start at 1 p.m. A picnic lunch will be served at the stadium spon sored by ARA before the game. During the halftime of the Lenoir Rhyne—Catawba game the homecoming queen will be crowned. A dance at Alamance Country Club featuring the band “All That Jazz,” will be from 9-1. Lisa Foster, of the Home coming committee, said, “The cotillion will be the main event of the weekend.” There were quite a number of other activities planned, but lack of interest and support by the student body voided these events. I feel this weekend will be a huge Pendulum success if the student body will participate. Foster added, “Some organizations have put in a lot of working time, including the Black Cultural Society, and the Daytrippers, and the Home coming Committee who helped to make this weekend possible. Although there will be no floats this year,” says Foster, “Numerous other activities are on tap.” page 3—Pace digs Jordan page 4—Wordsworth teaches page 5—Student abroad page 6—New courses page 7—Beatles films Volume VI Number 11 Elon CoUege, Elon CoUege, N.C. 27244 Thursday, November 8, 1979 Parker, Gantos, Grant, Priestley elected to town posts A new mayor and three new aldermen were elected for Elon College in Tuesday’s elections. They will begin their terms in December. Timothy Parker beat M.E. Campbell and Thomas J. Krone to win the mayor’s seat. After the announce ment of his victory, Mr. Parker said, “Right now I’m by Joy Hamilton The “Sleeping Beauty Bal let” by Tschaikovsky, was one of the main highlights of the Monday and Tuesday nights “The Magic of Music” concert by the Elon music department. The bedlet, choreographed by Brenda Brantley, featured Brenda Brantley, Dana Har dy, Jill Gunther, and Barbara Stokes. The graceful, flowing movements of the four young women were precisely choreo graphed. The ballet, which premiered as Saint Petersburg in 1890, displayed the unity and harmony of the dancers. Another highlight was the Harold Lloyd Comedy (Silent Movie) featuring Prof. Ri chard Apperson on the or gan. Apperson captured the dramatic sense of mystique and was comic, though credi ble. The music matched the movie well. Scotland native Dr. D.E. McDonald skillfully led the singalong. Old favorites included “In the Good Ol’ Summertime,” “Let Me Call You Sweetheart,” “My Wild Irish Rose,” and “The Band Played On.” “Up, Up and Away,” arranged by Charles B. just letting it sink in.” He continued, “I’m pleased that people came out and voted. I must admit that I’m happy about the situation. Also I look forward to what I can do for the people and the town.” Charles Gantos, Marvin Grant, and Mary Ellen Priest ley defeated Ed. T. Simons. Sid Norton, Carol Blake, Jones, highlighted the trum pet section of the orchestra. Bruce Piner, Joey Rickman, Tom Green, and Karl Metz- gar produced four part har mony that was slightly out of tune on the higher fiotes. The Emanons featured three beautiful young ladies on vocals, backed up by a praise-worthy band and or chestra. Anna McCoy simply charmed the audience with her steady, passionate voice. (Georgia) Lyne Fogleman provided a little jive drive with “I Will Survive.” Pat McDowell also pleased the audience with her soft, tender voice. The college choir, under the direction of Prof. James Glenn, sang a medley of songs by Gershwin and Por ter, only marred by a faulty public address system. A little humor was added by “The Waltzing Cat” by Anderson. The high strings mimicked the sound of a cat’s meow almost perfectly. John Phillip Sousa’s world famous march, “The Stars and Stripes Forever,” fea tured Mary Ford Lightbourne and Jeannie Artley on pic colo. During the finale, a huge American flag and David Joyce and Barry Sim^ mons for the three seats on the Board of Aldermen. “I’d like to thank those who support me.
