-7' (Editorial—continued) accomplished m.-c relatively. And yet, these students who have earned the right to be hono-ed are not—for fear that they will not be re-named the following year and this would be degrading? This is unfair reasoning. The award is no't a loving cup for four years of accomplishment, but it is recog nition of. students who have contributed and who deserve the honor when, In fact, it may be considered even m^ore of an honor for one to be chosen while a lunior. And, if a junior is not re-named, perhaps it may be due to factors which limit his participation in activities during his senior yea^, or to factors limiting his•eligibility. If a grade average slips one-tenth of a point, for instance, a student.can plainly lose out . It seems logical that a lunior elected to r/ho 'vs Tfeo would actually be- given added initiative to repeat his performance. If a,good play is given, a reviewer doesn t wait a' year to praise it and to see/whether the- actors repeat their outstanding performances. Credit should be given when and where it is deserved. ^ Last year a-junior named'to VJho s Tflio left ELon to attend Medical School. He obviously couldn't be re-named this year, but he received-the honor when. he deserved it. To wait may be too late. . . j 4.4 Also, the Student Placement Service offered by ..the national organization is one of the outstanding benefits for nominees, VJhy should an eligible lunior be denied of this service? -yn"- « f t£^s mo Among Students In American Unlvers|ties and^,Oppeaes sup.posed^ 1 ves a ^well-roun^^ rQpre^enl:aCroa of^the studenT^b,o4y of an institution.

The answer is yours, that ’ s ^whpse. — CT TIOW For the, first time in many years of SGA, history ELon students, have used tlae right to petition as is granted, to them in the SGA Constitution. The fol lowing petition was sent by a. r-^presentative number of day students to President Wally Sawyer: , '' We, the undersigned ■ commuter students of ELon Collegev hereby petition the administration of the College for ' permission to re-activate the Pay Students’, Organization. ¥e further petition that the College set aside a special room to be designated "Day Students' Lounge" and 1 to be used solely and exclusively by the commuting students for the purposes of study and relaxation and as a communal, meeting place for a Day Students' Organization. j The petition was signed by 105 commuting students and was sisnt to SGA as SGA is the representative organization dealing with student affairs in co-operation with the administration. The petition could involve the presentation of a bill or a resolution by the Student Senate. ‘ The Day Students' Organization yas once very active oh'the ELon campus,■-> but was disbanded two years ago as the result of a decision by the organ ization itself. At that time it was felt that the existence of a separate' organization for commuter students was too "dividing" and that the commuter students should be considered a^ Elon College students, not as a separate group. However,, with interest and participation, a worthwhile organization bould represent the voice of commuter students and help them to solve the . problem's particular to them. The staff of THE CAJ^IPUS CRIER wishes to apologize for the technical errors m^ade last month in the printing, of the letter to I4r. Don Lind from ]^£r. Butler, Business Manager.
