off campus.

attorney general of the
Honor Court. She also is a
resident advisor and has
worked on Colonnades. She
has served as chairperson of
the Liberal Arts Fonmi and
is listed in Who’s Who
Among College Students.
She has been active in com
munity services also.
Speaking to students in
Mooney Theater Tuesday,
both presidential candidates
said that they wanted stu
dents to become more aware
of the student government
and the things it is involved
in.
McSheehy said that if
elected she would work for
more relaxed visitation polic
ies, a solution to Greek
organizations’ housing prob
lems, a change in the cam
pus party policy, more upper
level courses and the parking
problems on campus.
“I have read and research
ed the responsibilities of the
SGA president, and, believe
it or not, I still want the
job,” McSheehy said.
Brammer said that he
knew “Elon is a ‘.suitcase
coUe^’ on the weekend.”
He said he would work to
get more activities on cam
pus and to make the stu
dents aware of those activi
ties.
“Student government
should work for the students
because the students pay for
it,” Brammer said.
Current SGA Vice Presi
dent Rodney Beebe said he
did not understand the rea
son why more students did
not file for election or
become involved in the
SGA. ‘
“Maybe they think we
don’t have any power,”
Beebe said, “or maybe they
just don’t care.
McSheehy
“I can’t think of what
causes people not to care.
The SGA is supposed to be
oriented to these people. If
we were pushing an issue
like visitation last year with
out student support, it
would just right through
the administration.
“The SGA could be so
good,” he said, “if the
students could at least serve
as guide for us, this office
would work much better.”

^CAA Champions.
The Wolfpack had just
'on the NCAA Title after a
^52 victory over the heav
ily favored Houston
Cougars.
Many Elon students left
tor Raleigh right after din-
Many more waited until
•fter the game was over,
fhey piled people in cars
>nd vans and after making a
luick stop for beer at the
®cal Wiim Dixie, and con-
'enience stores started on
hour-long trek to
^eigh. The party had just
>egun.
The Student Body, a
^sleigh bar, was where
®8ny Elon students went to
*'Mch the game. However, it
so crowded that even
the big screen TV and
another regular size TV
®'^y people didn’t see half
of what was going on. Even
people standing on tables
*od bar stools and sitting on
the rafters could not see.
But it didn’t really matter
because they could always
tell when the Wolfpack
made a good shot. The
screams and cheers of “Go
to hell, Houston,” and “Phi
Slamma Who?” could be
heard throughout the bar.
Behind the Breakfast
Nook, a small restaurant on
campus, cheers could be
heard after every successful
Wolfpack shot from every
fraternity house on the
street.
The Delta Upsilons of
State had filled their frat
house to the maximum.
>lany tried to get a head
count to see if they had
broken some sort of record,
but it seemed impossible.
“This is awesome” one frat
member exclaimed over and
over again as State grabbed
a 10-point lead in the first
half.
After the final shot of the
game, and all of the hugs
and kisses were given out,
the crowd moved on to
Hillsborough Street and
towards the “Brickyard
where there was a huge
bonfire. , „ .
Several people walked
down the street carrying
couches, chairs and oAer
pieces of furniture. Tlus
furniture seemed to keep the
fire burning along with ban
ners, posters and signs say
ing “NCSU Wolfpack #1^^
and “Phi Packa Jamma
were to be seen all over the
“Brickyard.”
The lines for the beverage
stores were beginning to
reach out the door and into
the Streets. Everybody
seemed to be having a great
time — except, of course,
the security and police offic
ers on duty. About midnight
one police officer was heard
remarking that he dreaded
the rest oi tne mgnt and the
problems that security forces
were going to have. Already
beer bottles and other glass
was broken all over the
“Brickyard” and on Hills
borough Street, and the
thousands of celebrating
Wolfpack fans were begin
ning to get very rowdy.
For the many Elon stu
dents who took the road trip
to Raleigh Monday night
it was “awesome” and
“unreal” and in more ways
than one — a memorable
one.
