At different
times, controver
sial issues are
confronred on our
campus and it be
comes obvious the
majority of the
members of our_
campus are oblivi
ous to the facts
behind these issues.
It is the right and
the duty of any
person car persons
to bring to light
the underlying
causes of these
problems. For this
and other reasons
Veritas Liberated
Press feels it has
the responsibility
to release informa
tion, pertinent to
these issues, which
otherwise would
remain dormant in
the crypt where it
had been buried.
Any student,
who feels that no
one has the right
to dig into these
disputable matters
and that "status
quo" is the best
policy to follow,
should put his mind
back in the gutter
whare ’t belongs.
Each student
should determine
within his own
mind what his com
mittment will be.
A policy of strad
dling the fence,
only leads towards
the stagnation of
that student's own
mind. Any perpon

WHOSE FINGERPRINTS
ARE ON THE FILES
On the morning of March 6, 1970, a comrade was in the
Registrar’s Office looking through college catalogues when
coach Jerry Tolley entered. This comrade then overheard Mr.
Tolley ask to see Mark Shockley's official school records.
A brief conversation followed and coach Tolley remained In
the office vihlle the comrade had to leave for class. This
comrade revealed this Information to the staff on Saturday
March ?.
Then, on Tuesday March 10 In a 905 Hygiene class Mr,
Tolley publicly announced facts obviously obtained from
Mark Shockley's records. "I don't see how^^aHyofte-'eftn'-'ptit
much faith In what he (Mark Shockley) said, considering that
he graduated, in the lower half of his high school class, had
more D's than A's, failed religion here at Elon, and has less
than a C average,” Tolley stated.
On Monday night, March 9, in Mr, Luther Byrd's night
course, History of Euroije, Byrd publicly stated that Mark
Shockley had mad.e only a low C grad.e in his History of the
South class.
This was obviously an attempt by the,?e "professors” to
publicly lntimid.ate the person by disclosing facts that are
supposely not available to the public,
Mr, Gwaltney, Registrar of Elon College, when asked If,
faculty members could go through student files at random,
responded vrith an emphatic •’NO”, and stated that only the
student's advisor could go through his personal files. Coach
Tolley is not MaJk Shockley'saadTisor,
When Gwaltney was asked what the school policy was regarc
Ing faculty members publicly revealing information obtained
from a student's file, he commented that It was considered
“very unethicpJL",
How then was Tolley able to obtain these facts from
Shockley's files? Is every student at Elon subject to this
scrutinlzatlon? According to Mr. Gwaltney, not only did
Tolley obtain these facts against the college policies; he
also acted xmethlcally by announcing these to the public.
Basic student rights have been grossly violated here, but
whet action will the college take? STUDENTS UNITE!

A groovy time
was had by sO.1 la
st Saturday when
an old group call
ed the Fascist Fi
ve was presented
by Repression As
sociates to an au
dience of about
thirty students.
The concert was on
short notice (23
hrs,) and by invi
tation (summons)
only. Knowing th
at this would be a
mommentous occas -
Sion the gallery
was filled to over
flowing,
Unfortunatly the
group showed its
utter lack of ver -
satlllty by insis
ting to play the
oldstandbys such as
"tton't rock the bo
at" and "keep yoxir
place". The poor
performance of the
five may be attrlb^
uted to the fact
the the band lead-
er is in the USSR

hidden behind those

by group rather
than individual
resistance.
