i
■ Prine, a folk-pop rock
‘musician, has given concerts
with strongly positive re
views across the United
’States.
f Born in 1946 in May
wood, 111., a working-
class suburb of Chicago, he
developed an esirly interest
in music, particularly rock
-and-roll and country. His
.older brother, Dave, taught
him to play the guitar. He
^worked for the U.S. Postal
Service and served in the
U.S. Army before he began
to actively write songs. In
1970, Prine made his first
stage appearance.
His songs have been re
corded by pop, country, folk
and rock performers, and he
has developed a mass ‘
audience through his club
and concert tours himself.
His latest album. Pink
Cadillac, was recorded in
1979, and features Prine
singing and playing rhythm,
acoustic, and electric guitars.
His Elon concert will be
free of charge to students,
but non-students and faculty
will be charged five dollars.

Preregistration for the
winter and spring terms will
begin on Wednesday, Nov.
11 and continue through
Friday, Nov. 20.
Registrar Mark Albertson
said he scheduled preregis
tration this year for eight
days instead of the usual
seven days, “so no day will
be overly busy. There should
be less people registering per
day. This will be more
convenient for students. In
view of this extra day, we
see no need for students to
get up and wait for hours
outside the office to pre-
register. Students have been
known to wait from 5 a.m.
until 8:30 a.m. when we
open. This is totally un
necessary.”
Albertson reminds stu
dents to refer to their pre-
registration guides to see
which day they are supposed
to come. Students will not
be allowed to register before
their scheduled day, but they
may go afterwards if they
wait no later than Friday,
Nov. 20.
Students are urged to meet
with their advisers as soon
as possible to work out a
preregistration schedule be
fore their assigned registra
tion day.
When filling out the
forms, students should first
check their personal data
written at the top of the
forms. If anything needs to
be corrected, students should
make the corrections on the
blanks below the typed
print.
The registrar encourages
people to preregister to
avoid waiting in line on
registration day. Students
are also encouraged to pay
their tuition early through
the mail.
