The key defensive plays were made by Pete McDaniel, Danny Watson, and Tom Jernigan. Elon had a closing drive that carried to the L-R 3 as time ran out and the Christians won their biggest game of the year 23-21. Outstanding performances by both offensive and defensive lines played a big factor in the Chris, tians’ victory. An outstanding performer who went both ways was Steve Helms who played on a bad ankle. the BEAR’S SICK DEFENSE COUGHS AGAIN FASHION LOFT '108 - 410 S.

The Veritas Sports Staff ZACK’S CORNER Front & Worth St BURLINGTON, N. C. By J.D. McConnell The Veritas Sports Staff would like to recognize both the Elon College Band and the Cheerlead ers for their outstanding partici- pation in this season's football games. The band under the supervis ion of Mr. Jack White, truly sup ported our football team through, out the season. They provided enjoyable halftime entertain, ment, led the spirit for Elon in the stands and were present at pep rallies. The cheerleaders must also be commended for their fine job of helping to key the spirit of Elon supporters. Their spirit seemed to never die even when the clock showed little time to score needed points nor when the rain quenched the fire inside other Elon sup porters. Had our season’s standing been judged by the band's and cheer leader’s coordinated efforts and desires, Elon’s season would have not been blemished. Page 3 LETTERS. . .

Even though the demonstration was not originally sponsored by the SGA, it was a success in that it avoided destruction and itforcedSlaterto promise better sanitary condi tions immediately. One of our campus’s biggest problems is that of social cal lousness. A large number of stu dents have little concern for the S.G.A. and its work. The Student Government is working hard, try ing to make much needed reforms of our presently archaic regu- lations. Unless we as students, back the S.G.A, the food and san itary conditions will remain the same; the girls will still have absurd regulations and we, as students will be completely dom inated by the Administration, Our greatest hope for reform lies with the S.G.A. With them and through them we can gain our goals. Chris Walsh To the Editor; You know, sometimes we can blow things all out of proportion. I wonder if just maybe this has happened at Elon College in re gard to the cafeteria situation. If you sit down and think of the developments of the past week, it seems as if the destruction of McEwen, Slater, and Horton has become the primary aim of the S.G.A. and its executive officers. Now 1 am not defending the food service at Elon. The food and the service leave much to be desired. I have knowledge of several stu dents who have already suffered from food poisoning. The sanita tion problem is evident and should be eliminated. 1 believe tliis can (Continued on Page 4) THE SUIT OUTLET 106 ALBANY STREET. GRAHAM. N. C.
