lilll The Pendulum Thursday, September 20, 1984 Volume XI, No, 3 MAJOR DONOR: State Rep. John M. Jordan (left) pledges $200,000 for the PRIDE II campaign as one of the largest donations by a single individual. Rep. Jordan gives $200,000 to PRIDE II state Rep. John M. Jordan has made a $200,000 pledge to the Elon College PRIDE II Campaign, college officials have announced. Half the funds will be used to increase a scholarship fund he established in 1979, an endow ment to provide annual scho larships to deserving students in Rep. Jordan’s district. The additional $100,000 will be don ated to meet the Kresge Chal lenge, a million-dollar fund raising effort to complete the proposed fine arts center plan ned for construction next year See PRIDE II page 3 Tee it up! Elon opens Saturday with *1 Carson-Newman By Jeff Plummer Staff Writer The Elon football team will be put to the test this Saturday as it opens with defending NAIA national champ and No. 1-rated Carson- Newman, at 7 p.m. in Burlington Memorial Sta dium. Any team would like to build up to a big game like this by already having played two or three. But Elon begins the season against the power ful eagles, who would be a tough foe at any time of the year. Elon has been practicing since Aug. 25. They will be as prepared as possible but game ex perience speaks for itself. There is always that little something extra a player gets from play ing in a game. Both rookie players and return ing starters profit from it. Carson-Newman will have that experience. The Eagles have played twice and both times have come up big winners, trouncing Grand Valley State 42-10 and Franklin College 58-20. In last week’s win over Franklin, the Eagles piled up more than 700 yards of offense. They weren’t challenged in either game and could come in Saturday over-confident. Elon could give the Eagles a challenge. The Christians will match up with the visitors in both size and strength. One thing that does wor ry head coach Macky Carden is the “wide line splits” that Carson-Newman takes. The Eagles’ offense spreads the defense out, Carden ex plained, making it tougher to fill the holes.

Jordan represents one of the largest donations by a single individual in Elon’s 95-year history,” Young said. “Rep. Jordan has followed in the foot steps of his late father, U.S. Sen. B. Everett Jordan, in pro viding major support to this in stitution. “Sen. Jordan was a long-time supporter and trus tee of Elon. He also provided By Alicia Gaddy Staff Writer Buck Bayliff, director of au xiliary services, says that the campus’ problem-plagued new telephone system is about to get straightened out. He said, “calls coming in and going out should be fully operational by Sept. 25.” For a year and a half, Bayliff negotiated with several tele phone vendors and eventually decided to go with Centel. Cen- tel started work on the project at the closing of school last May, rewiring the entire cam pus. “It should have been ideal to start several months before May, but time didn’t permit,” Bayliff said. During the installation period, Bayliff and Centel were faced with many problems. Bayliff said “the biggest prob lem was that the cross connec tions weren’t connected prop erly.” Centel brought in a crew and “pretty much got on top of it,” Bayliff added. Other problems arose due to the overwhelming number of people who wanted connec tions, and the “flat out miscal culation of the number of trunks” need to handle student traffic, Bayliff commented. Bayliff also said, “We have ordered additional direct in ward dialing trunk lines from Southern Bell and that this should alleviate problems and take care of the busy signals that students have been get ting. The new lines should ar rive next week.” After the new DID (direct in ward dialing) lines are instal led, and the 538 prefix is estab lished nation wide, the switch board will no longer be needed to transfer calls, he said. The basic monthly charges for the phone service is $13.50 and is reduced by $1.00 if the student supplies his or her own phone. Long distance calls are billed separately. Time of day rates will also be offered for long distance calls. Foreign language Faculty changes p.2 Book hustlers Elon fivesome peddles Webster’s p.6 On a roll Soccer team wins four matches p.9
