Oldest dorm gets
on historical list
West Dormitory has
cleared the first hurdle in
being listed on the National
Register of Historical Places.
In early April, the North
Carolina Department of Cul
tural Resources sponsored a
meeting of various commit
tees including the State Pro
fessional Review Committee.
This committee’s conclusion
was to approve the go-ahead
for a study of the historical
value of the dormitory.
Although this placement
on the study list does not
mean an automatic nomina
tion to the register; it is,
however, encouraging. This
nomination to the study list
means only that the area has
been approved and will be
evaluated for the signifi
cance, history and condition
of the property based pri
marily on its architectural
value to the area.
“West Dorm has a very
distinct style of architecture
and we want to do our best
to preserve the oldest survi
ving building on this cam
pus,” says Dr. George Trox-
ler, former chairman of the
Alamance County Historical
Properties Commission.
If the building is approved
for nomination to the Na
tional register, then within
the next year, measures will
be taken to preserve the
dorm.

Interview withMatt Maggio*®-* Blacks organize sorority
Pendninm: Business is
asking for people who can
speak and write a language
other than English. Doesn’t
this mean that we should
train in other languages?
Maggio: When the average
American cannot vote intelli
gently on science issues due
to never having taken chemi
stry or physics, the “lan
guage gap” is a second
priority issue. Despite the
claimed internationalization
of business, many employees
of companies doing business
never talk to anyone in
the U.S. or write to them.
Pendulum: What about
ethics and values? Shouldn’t
we all know more about
them to live more meaning
ful lives?
Maggio: We are being
brainwashed by the liberal
arts concept which shows no
respect for the rights and
values of conservative stu
dents and faculty, and no
respect for the free enter
prise system which makes
higher education possible.
Students should be free to
choose their own ethics and
values and be able to parti
cipate in open and unbiased
discussion of the same in
their classes. Textbooks and
faculty promoting ignorance
and Marxism do not achieve
the above goal; however, not
all professors show igno
rance or Marxism nor do the
courses. It falls in the liberal
arts areas— in religion,
philosophy, and fine arts;
however, not all faculty in
the departments are involved.
Pendulnm: What role do
you think the campus news
paper plays in college life?
Ma^o: It depends on the
financing of the newspaper.
If the newspaper is financed
Cafeteria cont.fromp.3
Ownby does feel, along
with a large majority of
students, that the cafeteria
does not offer enough green
vegetables. He thinks they
are definitely lacking in that
area, and hopes to include
more on the menu. One
proposal is a salad buffet,
similar to the one held in the
faU.
Another situation that irri- ‘
tates students is people
jumping into line fot refills. *
Students think a line' for •
second helpings only should
be added or that the stu- '
dents should be able to
designate serving size. Mr.
Ownby sympathizes with the
students, but regrets that
these demands are impossi
ble.
“There is simply not
enough room for a seconds
only line,” said Mr. Ownby.
“And if we allowed students
to determine the size of their
portion, too much food
would be wasted.”
However, Ownby does of
fer a suggestion for people
who are tired of waiting to
be served while others are
getting served again.
“Assert yourself! Put a
little peer pressure on pig
gish people. TeU other stu
dents they wiU have to wait
to be re-served imtil you
have been served for the
first time.”
Mr. Ownby is trying to
reconcile the students’ com
plaints. He asks only that
they try to be realistic and
not “far out,” like the
student who wanted ox-
blood stew on the menu.
Ownby said, “Along with
upholding ARA’s quality
standards, I have my own
that go beyond their require
ments. After all, the cafete
ria is a reflection on me, and
I do take personal pride in
it. If any student has com
plaints or compliments,
please come to me with
them. Student input is the
best standard for judging
that I have.”

Delta Sigma Theta, a
name chosen by Elon stu
dents interested in joining a
new sorority, is being orga
nized on campus.
The sorority will provide
service for the community,
especially the black conrniu-
nity. Education, social and
political issues, children, and
the elderly are just some of
the concerns of the Delta
Sigmas. The Deltas’ plan to
provide a sense of belonging
for black women, but they
plan to be a fully integrated
sorority.
Delta Sigma Theta, a
national organization has
more than 500 chapters lo
cated in all 50 states, and
also in the Republic of Haiti
and Liberia.
Founded at Howard Uni
versity in Washington, D.C.,
on Jan. 13, 1913, by a group
of 22 undergraduate women,
the Deltas secured a certifi
cate of Incorporation for
their infant sorority.
