atiiitia.v. February 22. 1969 Lt'llers To The Editor (Continued from Page 2) gro, they suffer from an ingrain, ed inferiority complex and a wide- ranging paranoia. Many students are convinced that they lack the intellect to even try to engage in the give-and-take of ideas, and many are likewise sure that the faculty and administration are ‘‘out to get them.” (For example, students suggest to me that the winter term was designed simply to milk more money from them and that course requirements are deliberately set too high to force them to attend extra sessions. Of course these charges are not valid, but don’t they reveal pre- cisely the psychological condition Farber describes?) One may object to some spe cific examples Farber cites, but they are intended only to support the general analogy of student to “nigger.” He does not really advocate student . faculty love- making or sharing toilet tacili- ties; rather, he describes the restrictions that exist. (In any case, just because someone op- poses anti • miscegination laws does not mean that be favors in. ter-racial marriage.) Similarly, Farber does not advocate an archy. He suggests, instead, that the student should over, come his hang-ups, participate democrat. Ically in decisions involving him, and become truly engaged in his studies. If such changes are go. ing to take place, the student himself must initiate them. One may object to particular points in Farber’s article, but the basic analogy is both cogent and revealing. Sincerely, Michael Smith English Department To the Editors, This past weekend Elon Col lege was privileged enough to have as its entertainment one of the top groups in the country, the Box Tops. And as usual, the students of Elon blew it! about two-thirds of the show had passed a train of ignorant and backward “soul lovers” pro ceeded to leave the gym. Their indignities not only disturbed the Box Tops, but they also distract- ed the audience that wanted to experience a successful and very good band. The Box Tops not only sang their top hits and other songs, but they were as court eous as possible, and probably too courteous for an audience as backward. They also gave an ^reasvre ^Jtouse G'pts for Evehv Occasion Phone 227-4208 120 E. Front Strept BURLINGTON. N C. FLORIST ’’^^north church street HONES: PAY CA 6-0215 VERITAS MBENHEIMER (LP) -. The Elon College “Fighting Chris- tians” continued to stay on “vic tory road” here Wednesday night, as they practically ran the“Fal-’ cons” of Pfeiffer out of the gym, to the tune of an 83 to 70 score.’ The Elon scoring pace was led by Richard McGeorge'and Henry Goedeck, as each scored 24 and 18 points respectively. The Elon defense was superb as Bill Bowes chagged down 13 rebounds, and Pete Johnson, probably the best sixth man in the conference, came off the bench to turn in a fine job. Jim Burkhart tallied 20 points for the “Falcons.” ELON McGeorge Goedeck F 10 8 G 4-4 2-3 T 24 18 ZACK’S CORNER FRONT & WORTH ST BURLINGTON. N. C.

The only thing that will ever be suc cessful here is a nice short-, haired group that wears coats and ties, and sings church gos- pels; and that would even be overshadowed by a soul man up there screaming his lungs out, sounding like a dying cat. I only wonder what wouldhappenifsome top group like the Doors or Jimi Hendrix or the Beatles would come here; maybe some day we will be lucky enough to find out. As Elon's reputation stands now, the Neanderthal Man has a bet ter chance to get a top group than we have. So, congratulations Elon stu dents, you have really showed how much you have progressed. Gary R. Hope Dear Veritas Editor; A student conference called “The Politics of Hope” will be held in Washington, D.C, April 20-24, 1969, to explore the polit ical terrain of America. It will bring together concerned stu dents from all over America to see America as she really is and to confront the harsh realities of our American society. They will travel the streets and corridors of our capital city and encounter the political institutions and the leaders who run them. They will attempt to examine the source of our strength and the roots of our power as well as the problems and inequalities, in the hope that American society can be im proved. The HUT Restaurant 1117 Vaughn Road Burlington, N.C. Washington is an excellent cen- ter for a conference of this kind. Leaders already schedule to par ticipate include Dan Rather, CBS newsman, and Senator Hatfield of Oregon. The seminar will be lim- ited to 100 persons. Any Elon stu. dents interested in attending should apply early. You will have to arrange to be absent from your classes during the period. The $35 cost includes 75% of the meals, housing, transportation in the city, movie and symphony tic kets, and miscellaneous expenses. The conference will conclude Thursday afternoon to enable stu dents to take advantage of airline excursion rates. Initial registration will be due March 10th. If you are interested, let me know. Alfred W. Hurst To the Editors: Probably unknown to the major, ity of students on this campus, (especially the male students), there is in existence a committee of five female students, a female member of the faculty, and Dean Looney who are jointly reviewing the Rules for Dormitory Women. They are proposing changes that will eventually, of course, have to be approved by the “Board” or the acting president of Elon. I had the opportunity to listen to some of the proposed changes, the reasons for changing them, and some of the factors involved in making these changes. I also had the opportunity to talk with the chair “women” of this com mittee. I hesitatingly use the word women since she alluded to the fact that a girl must either be (Continued on Page 4) THE CAMPUS SHOP In the Heart of Big E Country KayDay Tile & Carpet Co. 300 TROULINGER ST.

Coach Bill Miller's "Fighting Christians” continued their string of victories here Saturday night by pulverizing the “Catamounts” of Western Car. olina by a 96 to 73 score. Hen. ry Goedeck, the senior star from New York, broke a school re. cord, by scoring the 775th field goal of his college career late in the ballgame. The previous record, held by Elon’s immortal great, Jesse Branson; was 774 field goals. Goedeck ledallscor. ing with 27 counters. Greg Kinn. man paced the Western Carolina team with 19 points.

Someday if the tide of dis contented students swells large enough, the old archiac and out dated rules, which are the foun dation of the conservative admin, istration, will give way under the pressure. If only the iscontent- ed students come together to cre ate that tide and create that pres sure. I heard one person state one time that in order to get any where in this world you have to come up with the right answer to the right questionthe right time. It seems like most students are satisfied to do this. They won’t offer their opinions only what they know the one with au- thority wants to hear. As for myself I refuse to run my life like this and not be honest either to myself or to other people because if I’m not then I am no longer a free- thinking human t>eing but only a conditioned machine. Perhaps you can answer .-this question for meij iWhat can we the discontented :0.(i^t#{>ncerned students, who appeaj[;fo;t-be a minority, do to unite and create that tide I mentioned and bring in those students who are afraid to take the first step?
