/ / ' ■ s by Mairouis de no/riryo CLtsx'iiny^, aiiO S OLlitsjr PGjrvBX’tecl Minds The seven (Magnificent?) of us who put together this "column" do not have as our journalistic motto, all the news that's grit to print. Rather we wish to convey to you the reader the humor which we enjoyed x^hile laughing at ourselves and perhaps even life. It is our sincere wish that the material contained herein will be taken in the jovial spirit in which it for one xnstant we can inaTG yoti Bnri Ip, r'Vi’.ipVi©, or even laugh or possibly just distract your thoughts from scm-j of the gio-.mjLo».' aspects of life, our efforts have not been in vain for one of the great est attributes of the American character is his ability to laugh at him self, So with hat in hand and tongue in cheek, we will proceed to "... call 'em as we see 'em," The Elon Flighting Christians recently performed a four quarter version of the ballet "Swan Lake" at Guilford featuring a disappearing line, a bumbling backfield, and a pass defense which was on strike. The fight which Coach Mattocks promised the student body was staged as a separate act in the dressingroom after the game. On the other hand, the Elon school spirit (?) was about enthusiastic as the reception of a famine in India. When questioned after the fiasco, football savant Goose remarked that school spirit was "decadent in the fourth dimension." For those of you who cannot make it to the National 400 at Charlotte on the 16th, there is just as much excitement to be had at the weekly Ritchie's 500 run every Friday and Saturday nite featuring not only modifieds but cycles as well. It was noted by this team of reporters that not one girl clad in a mini skirt threw herself at Richard Becker during his recent evangelistic cam paign as happened in London this summer, but then even Elmer Gantry did't score every time. Slater food, trite subject, rolls merrily along in the writing of a definitive edition entitled One Thousand and One Wavs to Ruin Hot Dogs. Progress at Elon, as at General Electric, marches along as old South becomes new North. Elon also has the only post office that doubles as a closet and in which Bill Bowes has a box on the bottom while Toirr Thumb has one on top. The beanies this year were about as popular as a gross of "VJin with Wilkie" buttons. Colors for the beanies and the new dorm were selected by Phyllis Diller. This institution of higher learning recently achieved fame second only to Parsons College as one of the few select schools in America v;ith one member cliques. Along with this we might add that Mary Poppins does not live in London but in third West in an ivory tower quarded by complacency. Stolen from a recent Time? "God is not dead but hiding in Argentina." Sign in Union VJanted, one book on anatomy. Bring to the Infirmary — Quick! Silence was golden last week as Dr. Danieley had laryngitis. Points to Ponder — Did Nero really fiddle while Sast Dorra burned? Does Hygiene 121 really prepare you for premarital as::? VJill the Green Bay
