I:
Stepping back on Elon’s cam
pus, alumni may enjoy a variety of
activities during this weekend’s
homecoming festivities.
Alumni and Parent Relations
have prepared for Elon graduates
from 1945,1970, and 1985 to have
class reunions during the weekend.
Bill and Janet Winstead are
visiting for their 25th reunion. They
; have also helped prepare the activi
ties.
“For us it’s not so much an
absence of 25 years,” said Janet
Winstead, who lives in Elon Col
lege. “The thing that’s unbeliev
able now is how much the campus
has changed. When we started, there
were less than 1,000 people.”
Assistant Director of Alumni
and Parent Relations Laura Lewis
and Director of reunions Greg
Zaiser prepared an eventful week
end for alumni.
Each class has headquarters at
a local hotel and in Moseley Cen
ter. Each class will meet Friday
from 5 to 7 p.m. in its designated
area for a wine and cheese recep
tion. Registration packets and class
memorabilia will be available.
Alumni will have the opportu
nity to attend the fireworks and
student pep rally at 7 p.m. atFonville
Fountain.
Alumni are encouraged to
watch the parade and attend the
homecoming football game at
Walter Williams High School.

Hillel holds
vigil for former
prime minister
Stacey Ward
Staff Reporter
Elon’s chapter of the Jewish
organization Hillel held acandle-
light vigil for the former Israeli
Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin
Monday night.
Jewish and non-Jewish stu
dents and faculty/staff came to
gether to remember the man, said
Jodi Pearlman, a member of
Hillel.
Twenty-seven people
present at the vigil sang Hebrew
peace songs and said the;
mourner’s Kaddish, a Jewish
prayer that the bereaved say for
the deceased, Pearlman said.
Students and faculty met
outside Moseley at 7 p.m. The
vigil here coincided with candle
light vigils held around the world,
Pearlman said.
Pearlman and Darren Coo
per, a member of Hillel, agreed
that those who attended the vigil
felt very much at one with those
keeping the candles burning in
Israel, and all across the world.
Rabin was shot and killed
Saturday evening. Yigal Amir, a
25-year old Israeli Jewish law
student is accused of the murder,
Pearlman said.
According to the Jewish
faith, Rabin should have been
buried Sunday. However, the
funeral was held Monday be
cause many heads-of-state could
not arrive in time, Pearlman said.
