(Hhe Peitduium IFC Spring Fling toni(ht Kt 8 p.m. National Guard Armory Volume Vin Number 20 Elon College, Ellon College, NC 27244 Thursday, March 11, 1982 Board needs more time to review visitation pUin By Doug Norwood The Campus Life Com mittee of the Board of Trustees has determined that it needs more time to consi der the SGA proposal con cerning visitation. The committee decided on March 3 to have another meeting no later than June to give its response to the proposal. In other action, the trus tees gave promotions and tenure to several members of the faculty and reviewed the report of the Visiting Com mittee of the Southern Asso ciation of Colleges and Schools. Dan Daly, president of the SGA. presented the proposal to the committee. If approv ed, it will increase visitation hours. Visitation would be from 2 p.m. to 1 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, from 2 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. on Sundays, and from 5 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. on Mondays through Thursdays. Elon President Fred Young said that he wanted to check with other college presidents concerning how similar visitation policies have worked out. He also expressed concern about how to implement check-in and check-out poli cies and how to insure that the right to privacy of those students who do not have visitors. He said, “The delay is not a tactical move. It is not a way of saying ‘no’, and at the same time, it is not a way of saying ‘yes.’” The current committee members are Lula B. Hel- venston, committee chair man, Ramsey E. Cammack, Joseph M. Copeland, Thad Eure, Dr. R. Leroy Howell, Maurice Jennings, James H. McEwen Jr., Janice E. Nel son, Dr. William D. Rippy and W. Milliard Stevens. Some new committee members will be named June 1. The board also reviewed a summary of the report of the Visiting Committee of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. The report concluded that “The current statement of purpose in up-to-date and describes accurately the goals of Elon College.” The board appointed Dr. George Troxler, associate professor of history, as pro fessor of history upon the recommendation of Young. Dr. Russell B. Gill, Helen Euliss, Dr. Herbert W. House Jr. and Dr. William G. Rich were promoted to associate professors. Dr. Wesley 3. Brogan, Dr. Seena A. Granowsky, Kenneth Harper, Gayle W. Scott, Dr. George A. Tay lor, Dr. Linda T. Weavil and John W. Wheeler were granted tenure by the board. BLOOD DONORS — Kenneth Houston and Brian Rollins participate in the recent Mood drive at Elon College. Photo by Nader Hamidpour. First-time blood donor is positive about giving by Jo Craven “We’re running out.” At one time banners bear ing this message revealed that the valuable Red Cross blood supply was getting low. The Red Cross insignia, only half red, accompanied the slogan, but the Red Cross didn’t give up its drive for life, Last week it continued its project to maintain a “full cross” when Elon College hosted the blood mobile and encouraged students to do nate blood. Freshman Nancy Mela participated in the drive and gave her first pint of blood. Mela sat confidently on Thursday as she discussed her donation. The stickers on her shirt, advertising her as a flrst-time donor and challenging others to join her, alerted everyone of her accomplishment. “It was an experience,” Mela, from Lakeland, Fla., said. “I wasn’t gotma go, but I got talked into it.” Four of Mela’s friends, all veteran donors except one, convinced her to take the plunge. “I was so nervous,” Mela said. As she entered Jordan Gym where the blood mobile had set up, there were a “bunch of little stations.” The donors first filled out cards with their names and addresses. Then they moved on to the next station where their temperatures and blood pressures were checked. “I guess mine checked out okay because they sent me on,” Mela said. The students next fllled out a questionaire to assure in writing that their blood was not contaminated from previous illnesses such as yellow jaundice or hepatitis. Mela and the other volim- teers fmally received packets containing the necessary ma terials to take blood and proceeded to the last station. It was time to get down to business. “They laid us on tables,” Mela said, “and gave us something to squeeze.” A Red Cross volunteer instructed Mela to squeeze while she tied a tourniquet around Mela’s upi>er arm. The volunteer swabbed the inside of Mela’s left arm just below the elbow with cold iodine and inserted the nee dle. “I wasn’t looking,” Mela said, smiling. She continued to squeeze the grip at Hve second intervals, and in four min utes Mela was an experienc ed blood donor. The Red Cross treated all donors to refreshments, and Mela enjoyed vanilla crac kers, oatmeal cookies and a Coke while waiting for her friends. Mela cannot donate again until April 29, but she docs plan to give blood again. “It doesn’t hurt. Why not give while you can?” she asked. The experience seems to have been a positive one for Mela. “I got a big kick out of it,” she said. She advised others to overcome their reservations and donate the life-saving product. “I figure you might need it in the future,” she pointed out. After all, as she noted encouragingly, at the end of the session she was “still alive and kicking!” Lottery will decide who gets rooms by Mari Bchrend For the first time, Elon will hold a lottery system foi resident hall sign up for next fall. Nine hundred and fifty spaces will be available for upperclassmen and the rest go to freshmen. Also, due to the opening of a new residence hall next fall, one-third of the rooms in Carolina and Smith dorms will be de-tripled. To be eligible to sign up for college housing, students must currently live in resi dence halls. Students must pay a $73 room deposit at the cashiers office before April 9 and get a receipt of payment. Receipts should then be submitted to the Office of Student Affairs, Alamance 118, on April 12 and 13. The time students bring re ceipts by on these two days will have no reflection on lottery standings. But however, rising seniors will have flrst prior ity and then other classes in descending order. On April 15 all lottery numbers will be posted out side the Offlce of Student Affairs. The lottery will be held on April 25 in the Alumni Gym. Students should see their resident counselors for ques tions regarding the new sign up system.
