(Continued From Page Two) Douglas Albert is now just 17 years of age and is a member of Elon's Freshman Class, although he has already had one year of college in his native land. He is a business major, and upon the completion of four years at Elon lie hopes to go back and serve his country, A brother of his is enrolled at High Point College, where he i:, a pre-med student. The brother plans to return to Pakistan and serve as a doctOF for a Christian mission, Douglas is a keen devo tee of the English language and writes it remarkably well, 1 will let him teil the rest of the story in his own way He writes— "I have my parents and tw» younger brothers at home. My lather is the Secretary for Youth Work in the West Pakistan Chris tian Council, I come from the city of Lahore in West Pakistan, which is one of the largest cities in Pa kistan, naving a population of 671,659 souls. “My main interests are corre spondence, games and drawing, I met Dr. and Mrs. W. W. Sloan in n:iy country during the summer of ■')4, and so 1 decided to choose Elon as my educational institu tion. Dr. Sloan and his friends are helping my way through studies here At home I have been on my -ichool's debating, hockey and bad minton teams. I came to the Unit ed States on August 7, 19.'55 and have attended a Christian Endea vor camp. Recently I went to a Students Ecumenical Conference, which was attended by 3,500 stu dents, Of these 1,250 were for-' eigners. i "Since I have been in America I my experience has been great in' all fields of life. First of all, the | congestion of cars at each and every street struck me with won der, It is amazing for me to see a woman working so actively all the day in some sort of institution and still managing the house and family affairs. “Life to me here seems like -lectricity. Although I am very much in favor of this carefree and romfortable life. I stand for my country to say that it. being un- Mer the influence of the Euro peans. is known for its hospitality ind etiquette. In a class in school n my country you will always see >tudents sitting very alert in the vlass. always in a very respectful manner. When the professor en ters the class, all the students ■itand and then sit. j ■'America is known for its slang language. I enjoy speaking and learning slang, yet I feel that when I go back to my country I will be' out of place for a while. I strongly' feel that freedom and democracy { is really found in America and I am desirous of taking back most of the good things and habits. “We have more solo dancing, rather than group dancing as in America. I think I have really found a good place in this very friendly atmosphere of Elon, In our country, students and people don't seem to be so friendly, I ad- ■iiire the interest that people take in foreign .students here, also their help towards the difficulties that some of us have to face, " Doug las then concludes, “Last of all, I can say very proiidy that I will have a new dictionary of English to introduce to my people upon my return" The youthful Pakistani finds one concept of the American mode of living that is difficult for him to agree with—the American system of dating. In Pakistan, the couples do not see each other un til the marriage vows are about to commence. The parents choose their children's partners for life. He states that a man may possess four wives at a time and then di vorce these four and acquire an other set if he so desires. The students and faculty of Elon ?nd all the staff of the Maroon and Gold sincerely wish him the best while he is here on the cam pus. We feel sure that by the ijme he leaves us, Douglas Al bert will have a very good aspect of American life. It is to be said that we are sure he will be a cre dit to his people and to his nation.
