Alpha Sigma likes the ‘Oaks’
Alpha Sigma Alpha has
entered its fourth year here
at Elon. With 27 active
members, the sisters of Al
pha Sigma Alpha are the
only sorority on campus
without a house. Unable to
provide a house for them,
Elon set aside 16 spaces in
the Oaks for some of them
to live. With eight rooms
next to one another, the
Alpha Sigma Alphas have
made this section of the
Oaks their designated home.
Sophomore Kathy Gobble
says, “The Oaks is the next
best thing to having a house.
It has helped the sisters feel
as though they have a home
on campus.”
Each of the other three
sororities have a house
which not only provides a
home for the sisters, but
also represents their organi
zation. The vice-president of
Alpha Sigma Alpha, Julie
Jones, feels that the section
of the Oaks where her
sisters live can represent
Alpha Sigma Alpha to out
siders.
One problem the Alpha
Sigma Alphas were faced
with early in September con
cerned the display of the
Greek letters outside their
rooms. Elon College op
posed allowing them to hang
the letters outside for the
public to see. Their reason
ing behind the complaint
was that the Greek letters
Frats discuss various
housing renovations
The presidents of Kappa
Sigma, Sigma Phi Epsilon,
Sigma Pi, and Tau Kappa
Epsilon fraternities have met
recently with the chief of
maintenance, L.B. McCau
ley, Sr., to discuss renova
tions of the four school-
owned fraternity houses.
Among the renovations
are exterior painting, replac
ing windows, interior im
provements, and rewiring.
Three out of the four houses
received new gas furnaces.
Renovations were neces
sary to insure safety and to
improve living conditions.
After the fire marshall de
clared that the electrical
wiring was obsolete, funds
were appropriated to rewire
the houses. McCauley said,
“Students now come to
[ school with stereos, hair
dryers, clock radios, fans,
refrigerators, and televisions.
The wiring in the fraternity
houses was not made to
accomodate the increased
load, so rewiring was neces
sary.”

“The sisters of Alpha
Sigma Alpha are happy
about their new home, but
we want Elon to realize that
we consider it a temporary
dwelling and are still quite
anxious to acquire a house,”
Julie Jones says. Until a
house can be provided. Al
pha Sigma Alpha hopes to
keep at least 16 sisters at the
Oaks.
Elon students at
A&T career day
By Viviaii Milter
Several Elon students at
tended the career day at
A&T State University on
Sept. 24. This career day
was oriented for engineering,
accounting, biology and bus
iness majors. Proctor &
Gamble, Kodak, Aerospace,
accounting firms, IBM, Sou-
installed, and the system is
being upgraded. Other re
novations include plans to
install new sewer lines at the
Tau Kappa Epsilon house, a
refurbished bathroom at Sig
ma Phi Epsilon, new floor
supports at Sigma Pi, and
new doors and locks at the
Kappa Sigma house.
Both the fraternity presi
dents, and Mr. McCauley
were pleased with the meet
ings. Michael Johnson, pre
sident of Sigma Phi Epsilon,
remarked, “Maintenance has
been good to us considering
how busy they are. We
brought our problems to
them in a unified manner,
and they were very willing to
help.
Kappa Sigma president,
Steve Coors, said, “McCau
ley and maintenance have
been responsive to our
needs. It was good working
with them and the other
fraternities. Mr. McCauley
summed it by saying, “The
meetings led to a better
understanding between
maintenance and the frater
nities.”
f
them Bell, Western Electric,
Reynolds, and many others
were represented.
Information pamphlets
and other materials were
available for students at
the various booths. Repre
sentatives explained the op
portunities and job functions
within their organizations.
The business and science
fields seemed to be open and
in need of trained people.
The new field of communi
cation, which is in demand,
was left out of this parti
cular careers day. Mary Car
roll, a human services major
here at Elon, suggested to
Ms. Susan Phillips, that if
Elon has a career day, that
it include firms and busi
nesses who employ persons
in the area of communica
tions.
