relaxing and
studying
Students took advantage
of the mild temperatures and
moved outside to catch up on
things students need most to
use their time for: studying
and snoozing.
This week, as fall came
to campus, students had to
move inside for those
activities. The rain came.

Seniors must apply for graduation now
Tricia Talbert
The Pendulum
Although graduation is still
eight months away, seniors need
to be thinking about it now, not
later.
Seniors who are planning to
graduate in the fall, winter, or
spring have a deadline to meet--
with no exceptions.
Applications for graduation
must be filled out by Oct. 11,
according to Registrar Mark
Albertson. Applications are
available in the Registrar's office
and should be filled out legibly to
ensure that spelling is correct on
the diploma.
After the application is
completed, a graduation fee of $35
is paid to the cashiers office. Once
the fee is paid, an appointment
with Albertson is necessary to
make sure all of the requirements
for graduation have been met.
"So far I have met and
interviewed 265 students,"
Albertson said. "1 anticipate
interviewing between 650 and 700
people. At this point I have about
400 more to go and time is
running out I encourage everyone
to get all of this done now and not
to wait until the last minute."
The Provost's office will be
sending out letters to all seniors
during the late spring with final

This past weekend 13
automobile break-ins were reported
to the Elon Police Department.
Four of the break-ins involved
larcenies.
The break-ins occurred
between 11 p.m. Friday evening
and 4 a.m. Sunday morning. The
cars were parked along East
Lebanon Ave. adjacent to Barney,
Brannock and Hook dorms.
The stolen items included
$2,500 worth of band equipment,
cassette tapes and small amounts
of money.
Elon College Police Chief
Dan Ingle says it's evident the
perpetrators were looking for
easily accessible valuables and
money. The break-ins totaled an
estimated $1,400 damage, not
including the property stolen.
