Showcase From Page 1 coverage," said Dr. Helen Mackay, chairman of ihe committee. Mackay said that the 10 member commillee, made up of professors, looked at every senior's name. "The toughest thing was trying to eliminate candidates. We had 43 excellent nominees," Mackay said. She also added that the show focuses on performing arts rather than just good grades. Some students with 4.0 GPAs were tumed down. The committee strived to pick students from various majors and interests. "We tried to pick students that represent a varied angle on what an Elon College education is about." Mackay said. Each student will have 3-5 minutes to present their information. Participants in the speech category are: John Barnhill, Wilmcr Brown, Robert Hughes, Edwin Toone and Jodi Weiss. Barnhill will talk about his work with the Elon's Habitat for Humanity affiliate. Brown will approach the subject of internships and how they enhanced his education. Hughes and Toone will talk about their travel experiences. Hughes traveled to the Soviet Republic of Georgia and Toone traveled to India. Weiss did a senior project on cryptography and she will present that. In the music category. Art Dornik and Bonita Terry will perform a duet, Bethany Turman will perform a solo with Frank Pugh and his jazz ensemble as accompaniment. For the Dramatic Monologue and Poetry Reading category, Trevor Oxenham will recite a dramatic monologue and Tammy Torain will read a selection of historical poems.

From Page I According to John Barnhill, student director of Elon Volunteers!, the goal of next week is "to build a community here on campus through understanding and awareness of our community issues." "Awareness is our focus," Barnhill said. Barnhill said he feels there is a significant difference between past programs and next week's. "1 think this is the first time that a conscious effort was made by two organizations to plan an event," Barnhill said. Carter Smith, SGA president, said he believes the diversity of issues makes this year's program different. "This is more of an emphasis on a wide range of topics, rather than a single one," Smith said. Not only are campus organizations involved, but on Tuesday, naturalist, writer and photographer Ron Naveen will speak in Yeager Recital Hall. Naveen is founder and president of "Oceanites", a public foundation that works to raise public consciousness about the world's oceans. He will focus on issues in Antarctica, where he has completed nine seasons of work as both an expedition leader and a vi.siting scientist. To end the week on a fun note, on Thursday, singer and guitaritst David Carter will play on the outdoor stage. He plays a variety of music, from Jimmy Buffet and James TaylOf to R.E.M..
