mil III II The Pendulum Thursday, September 27, 1984 Volume XI, Number 4 Open house succeeds despite housing problems By Maureen Sweeney Features Editor Elon College fraternities began their public relations Sunday with their annual Fall open house. Freshmen were introduced to Greek functions; however, for those students familiar with this social event, there were few changes in this year’s open house. Three of the six fraternities now have the problem of enter taining without a house. Pi Kappa Phi traditionally makes use of their former advisor’s home near Hardee’s and Kappa Alpha moves into The Lighthouse. Tau Kappa Epsilon was faced with this problem for the first time.

They circulated a “date sheet” to eligible females. “The purpose of this questionnaire was to help us get to know all the new students,” said Aaron Chatkin.

New program emphasizes adults, provides guaranteed nighttime degree By Loretta Bivins Staff Writer Older adults in the classroom may seem to be few and far be tween at Elon, but according to Robert Wood, who recently re placed George Lentz as the director of Adult Education and Special Programs, 330 stu dents ranging from 24 to 58 years old are enrolled here. The program in which these students are enrolled has changed its name from Con tinuing Education to Adult Education and Special Prog rams, but Wood says the only major difference between the two is that the new program places “more emphasis on the adult.” The majority of these stu dents are enrolled at night. “Elon, through the Adult Education Program, is provid ing a guarantee to the adult the availability of a nighttime de gree.
