No Fan Support
To the Editor:
I am a cherleader for Elon and
it is my job to support and cheer
on our football team. This does
not sound to difficult does it?...
It is. The crowd at Elon does not
respond when my team cheers to
them. The game is more of a
social event them a sporting
event.
The football team enjoys the
cheerleaders support. They
Compliment us quite often, but
they have one complaint. This
single complaint deals with our
fans. They ask us to do more
Crowd involvement and
Participation cheers. We do try
and get the fans to try and
Participate more, but they seem
to just pay more attention to
^hat is going on in the bleachers
®nd not to the game. Isn’t the
Whole reason for going to a game
to support your team?
Well football season is over
(Concluded by homecoming and
^>asketball season is approaching.
Hopefully our basketball team
Will ha. e better support from our
fans. See you on the cotirt.

^0 the Editor:
Hats off to Elon College for
their participation and support
^st week during homecoming!
Although complaints and
grumbles were heard when
*^hanges were first being made,
•his was the best Homecoming
that I have experienced during my
four years here. Over $3000 was
^ised for Alamance Cares, 174
Wnts of blood were given to the
*^ed Cross and new traditions
^cre begun. The parachuters, the
*^ce, the crowning of a new
*^omecoming queen AND king,
the fireworks display will
hopefully continue each year to
^ome.
The Student Government
^sociation sincerely appreciates
of the support that has been
*‘vcn throughout the planning
the implementation process,
'^c could not have done this
^*One. The Homecoming
Committee worked many long,
J^d hours, to make this week a
■'•ccess. The outcome was well
*^fth the work. It is nice to see

Letters
To The Editor
responding to the woik that has
been done. Now you have
another opportunity to become
involve in the changing Elon
College.
Many of you may remember
the college’s Plan for the 90’s
that is almost completed. This
summer the Board of Trustees
formed a committee of Board
members, faculty, staff and
myself to develop a new plan for
Elon College. VISION 2000 is
the dtle of that plan and we need
your help in finalizing its
objectives. Beginning on Friday
morning, the plan will be placed
on posters around the lobby of
Long Student Center. The
planning committee would very
much appreciate your responses.
Once again, this is your chance
to have your voice be heard. I
encourage you to take advantage
of this opportunity. 1 truly
believe that each of you will be
excited to see what the Board of
Trustees would like Elon to be in
the year 2000. An open forum
will be held following
Thanksgiving holidays to discuss
the plan further.
Once again, thank you for
making homecoming such a
success. We appreciate your
generosity and support. I am
proud to be able to say that we
accomplished our goals of unity,
fun and contribution to Alamance
Cares. All that participated
should feel a tremendous amount
of pride and accomplishmenL

No Respect
To the Editor:
I am writing on behalf of of
the members of the Khaki House
and their exu-eme dislike for the
events that have happened in the
past few weeks. Almost
everyone knows that the Khaki
House is a place to party on
weekends and we here don’t mmd
throwing these parties, but lately
a good number of Elon students
have shown an immense amount
of disrespect for us and our
property. We here at Khaki
provide these parties as an
alternative to the sheer boredom
that may take place on on any
given night at Elon college, but
lately it seems as though students
feel we are throwing rummage
sales and were running special on
anything you can get your hands
on.
In the last few weeks, over
five-hundred dollars worth of our
“stuff’ has been stolen and easily
that much destroyed or damaged.
Our parties were meant for people
to socialize and have fun, not to
allow dissrespectful students to
pillage our house. If we have the
graciousness to let you in our
house than we think you could
have the respect not to steal our
posessions or break our furniture
and windows. We’re quite sure
I that your parents wouldn’t enjoy
i it if we strolled over to your
house and had a few beers then
stole or trashed whatever we
wanted.
It would be a shame to stop
throwing parties for the students i
just because a few rotten eggs
thought that it would be cool to
steal all of our things, but if it
continues the members of the
house won’t have anything to
live off of. As college students
we’re sure you all realize that
money is tight and if you have to
replace a hundred or so dollars
worth of c.d’s or buy new clothes
every week the old bank account
wears thin, so if your one of
those elite few who finds it
amusing to steal, realize that you
taking our money as well and
along with it your fellow
students chance to have a good
time. We wish this letter wasn’t
necessary but things are getting
out of hand and we can’t keep up
with the losses. Please try to
help us out and be just a little
responsible when your away from
home, and maybe we can still
have a good time.
