CAnPus CRIER
After reading Don TerreUife com
ments in his latest column,"A Voice
•jrom the Corn’er'’, in the .■■'AROO? AFD
GOLD', the editorial staff of. THE
OAIWS CRI':^R feels that it should
clarify its position and purpose and
explain its relationship with other
campus publications.
THE CAI-IPUS CRIER was originated
as a newsletter of the Student Govern
ment Association to help students
■become aware of what is being done in
SG and to give the students a chance
to voice their opinions on aspects of
student life.
Before this year, the only publi
cation that carried current events was
the MAROON A.FD GOLD, the college news
paper. This publication is no longer
listed in the student handbook as a
student Jp’ublicatioh, and since February
15 of this year, the paper no longer
prints the statement, "Edited and
printed by students of Elon College,"
This may be because the only editing
done by students is that of the
columns written by the editors. The
paper lists some twenty-five or thirty
reporters of which only tvro or three
per semester do any xvriting. These
students are members of the journalism
clasp,.
THE CAMPUS CRIER is published by
the students and for the students. The
main purpose of the college newspaper
is to promote better relations between
the college and the students of the 25C
schools to which the paper is sent.
In reality, the college publica
tion and the SGA newsletter are not in
competition with one another. They
serve two different fields. THE
MAROON AND GOLD is a publication to
promotevpiAbllc relations, as well as a
publication to serve the campus in
reporting general news.

luncheon on Ifednesday, March 6. After
dining and talking with the-Board

reports as to progress in various
fields of the college business. The
president mentioned facts concerning
enrollment, cost of attending the
college, and land values of the insti
tution. He also explained the plans
for the fund-raising drive that will
take place next year and which will
hopefully provide money for develop
ment of the physical plant.
