(Hife Pendulum Who’s Who applications tkould he in hy Oct. 1 n Volume XIV Number 5 EHon College, Elon College, NC 27244 Thursday, September 30, 1982 k by Doug Norwood Managing Editor North Carolina Governor Jim Hunt visited the Elon campus Tuesday evening to show his support for Robin Britt, the Democratic chal lenger to Republican Sixth District Representative Eugene Johnston. Hunt attended the eighth annual Three Governors Dinner held this year in McEwen Dining Hall. In a news conference held on the first floor of McEwen Library, Hunt said that Britt is “a terrific candidate for Congress.” He said that Republicans currently in office are to blame for the nation’s economic woes exemplified by Alamance County’s 11 percent unem ployment rate. Hunt said, “It took this country 200 years to get a one trillion dollar deficit; we’ll add another half tril lion in the four years the Republicans are in office.” He said that the two major issues in the congres sional race are “jobs and the economy, and Social Secur ity,” and that Britt was “moderate, not liberal” in his approach to such issues. Much of the news confer ence was devoted to the spilling of PCBs along 210 niiles of North Carolina roadsides and the disjjosal of those chemicals in a Warren County landfill. Hunt said he thought the landfill might be “the safest landfill ever built.” He said the landfill was built with a layer of very thick plastic and “packed clay as thick and solid as a brick.” He emphasized the impor tance of chemical waste dis posal in general. “People should seek the facts,” he said, “but not lose their heads over everything.” Hunt said acting on the disposal of the chemicals was his job and he took the most appropriate measiues in acting.

Though the temperature after 2 p.m. was over 70 degrees, the Elon College Fightin’ Christians felt frozen as the Carson- Newman Eagles led 14-0 in the first quarter. By the last quarter, however, Burlington Memorial Stadiimi sizzled as Elon students and alumni cheered football team to victory over the Eagles, 21-14. Halftime was highlighted by the crowning of the new Homecoming Queen, Amy Burch, from Sigma Phi Epsilon. Karen Welzant of Sigma Pi was first runner-up, and Dawn Denby, representing Kappa Sigma, was second runner-up. April Buck from Alpha Sigma Alpha and Jade Nic hols of the Black Culture Society tied for third runner-up. The results of the banner contest were: first place, Zeta Tau Alpha, second place. Sigma Pi, and third place, Tri Sigma. Prizes will be awarded to these organiza tions by the Student Govenunent Associa tion at a later date. One of the largest groups of alumni ever attended the game. ICing White, director of the alumni and parent office, said “Overall, the alumni with whom I spoke indicated they were very impressed with the attrac tiveness of the physical plant and were pleased with the steps being taken to strengthen the academic programs. Of course, homecoming is the time for former classmates to see one another again - and it was apparent that everyone had a great time being back on campus.” The alumni dance, featuring “The Tams,” attracted a sellout crowd of about 400 people at the Best Western ballroom.

Hunt visits, blasts Republicans Crenshaw to play here Oct. 6 by Loukia Louka News Editor Marshall Crenshaw will headline the Student Union Board’s semi-annual Anti- Suitcase Weekend on Oct. 6, in Whitley Auditorium at 8 p.m. The East Cost is familiar with Cren shaw’s work in New York nightclubs, covers of Crenshaw originals and an independently released single, “Something’s ^ Gonna Happen” and “She Can’t Dance !’ Now, with a newly released album, the • nation will have a chance to sample Crenshaw’s charms. Critics have compared the Warner Bros, album, entitled “Marshall Crenshaw,” to Buddy Holly and The Beatles, in terms of style and clean, catchy melodies. In Crenshaw’s case, there is a three-piece band including his drumming brother, Robert, and bassist Chris Donato. Bom and raised in Detroit, 28-year-old Crenshaw credits Buddy Holly as his first full-blown influence. Within two years after high school, Crenshaw was playing five sets a night in bars and clubs around the Detroit area. In 1976, Crenshaw left Michigan to pursue a more professional music career. After a few disappointments and false starts, Crensnaw recorded a rendition of John Lennon and Paul McCartney’s ‘‘1 Should Have Known Better,” and submit ted it with a picture of Crenshaw in we-rimmed glasses to the producers of “Beatlemania.” Subsequently, Crenshaw was hired to play John Lennon in the West Road Company. After two years, in early 1980, Crenshaw and his brother settled m New Yorx ana began putting a band together and record ing demo tapes.
