VJhile at E3,on I have*witnessed on different occassions events v/hich l:ave disappointed me and then I have witnessed events which have made m': proud, but there is no doubt in my mind that Saturday, February 27, 1965, v;hen the Elon Christians defeated the mighty High Point Panthers for the Caro3.ina^’s Conference Championship, was the greatest and proudor;t moaont of my 2.ifeo The enthusiasm shared by the student body, administrationf faci.i3ty, and team Wc.s beyond description. To each member of the team, to Couch Miller, Assistant Coach Moe, and to the team managers', congratula;;ions, You have proven to everyone who is NUMBER 3L. I would like to congratulate Jesse Branson. I know of no athlete including any of the Prb'r, that I admire more than "Big Jess." Jesse js undoubtedly great as an athlete, but thore is one thing for which J' admire him even more. v/ith all the laurels and trophies given to him foom all sides, Jo.^se is still "Jesse." To Jesse, no person is small or insignificant/ Jesse is a living model of a man great but humble. It is this cittitude to';ard life and people that makes Mr. . Branr,on great. ^ Special congratulations are also in "order for Coach Miller, No one has worked harder and deserves more credit than this member of the Elon Coaching Staff. MID-WINTERS WEEKEND: Mid-V7inters Weekend was a success. The Dinner-Dance on Friday night v;as quite successful cxce;^t that the attendance could have been better. It is a,truism, however, that it takes time for people to evaluate a new thing, and it could be that this is the reason for the mediocre attendance. Special thanks are in order for Mr. Horton of i Slater Food who gave us the idea of the dinner-dance and^has helped the S.GoA. in its efforts to make the event a success. Increased v,, , , attendance oirer the first dinner-dance does show that its popularity is increasing. Saturday’s events againvere successful. The Christians conquered East Carolina, and the dance following the game was a success. Sunday's bus to the Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus was cancelled. I was not discouraged about this lack of support, but more information on the non-athletic bus trips will be given later. A special word of thanks must be given to De?n Strum who granted lates for the girls» Dean Strum has been wonderful to work with this year, and her concern for the students is greatly appreciated. Also, thanks are extended to V„P, Herbert and his helpers in sharing much of{ the work of the weekend. SPRING TVEEKEND; Spiri'ng weekend has hc.d its ups and downs, but provided the students and organij^ations on campus lend it their support, it could and should be the highlight of ; the year. The contract situation has been in a turnoil. The contracts for the Lsttermen, Shirelles, and Little Anthony hade been dissolved with International Booking and Management of Richmond due to some valid information concerning the agent. Although we had contracts in our hands for the listed entertainfaent, it was learned through the alertness of Profc Westafer of the music faculty that our booking agent did not have tlie entertainment booked. The Lettermen are playUng in New York the sani3 time they were supposed to play at Elon, Needless to say the con-ljracts have been cancelled and proceedings have taken place to get our money back. There should be no problem in getting a refund.
