Topping the hundred-pointy
mark for the second time in three
nights, the Fighting Christians of
Elon grabbed a decisive 107 to
90 victory over the Western Car
olina cagers in a North State Con
ference battle at Cullowhce last
Saturday night.
Leading the way for the Elon
tossers was lanky Dee Atkinson,
who racked up 39 points to set
a new all-time single-game scor
ing record for Elon, Atkinson bet-
Itred the old mark of 36 points
that was set by Raney Cates
against Atlantic Christian in
3947, hitting for 18 field buckets
and three free throws to count
iiis new record score against the
Catamounts.
The Maroon and Gold outfit
wasted no time getting started,
and Coach Doc Mathis' boys sim
ply riddled the Catamount zone
jn the first ten minutes. At the
mid-point of the first half Elon
was out front 35 to 20, and At
kinson had chipped in 17 of the
Christian counters. Jimmy Crump
joined Atkinson in pacing the sec
ond quarter drive as Elon grab
bed a 61-39 lead at intermission.
In this opening half the Chris
tians made good on 26 of 39 shots
from the floor for a red-hot 66.7
per cent.
The Elon tossers came back al
most as hot after the half, with
Atkinson continuing his record
(coring drive to lead the Chris
tians to a 28-point spread at 85-
57 at the three-quarter mark. The
Christian reserves played the final
ten minutes, but Elon’s second-
half shooting was still good enough
for 16 buckets in 32 trials for 50
per cent, and Iheir full-game mark
was 42 good backets in 71 shots
for 59.1 per cent.
Jimmy Crump. Elon guard,
maintained his place among the
top free-throwers in the nation as
lie dropped 7 good in 8 tries from
the foul line. This gave the junior
Kuard from Aberdeen a mark of
46 for 51 for the season and a
90.2 percentage.

The building committee report
ed that work on McEwen Memor
ial Dining Hall is 75 to 80 per
cent done and that the building
is expected to be completed by
April 1. that Virginia Hall for
girls is 50 to 60 per cent done and
is to be completed by May 1. and
that Carolina Hall for boys is 40
per cent done and is to be com
pleted by June 1. (Complete re
novation of West Dormitory, which
now house! many girls on the
campus, was authorized for this
summer. The work is to be com
pleted in time for use of the build-
mg by September 1.
The trustees voted to seek com
pletion of the long-range $2,500.-
000 fund-raising campaign by the
end of 1956. President Smith re
ported that $450,000 of the re
mainder has been conditionally
pledged, leaving only $500,000 to
be raised. The trustees expressed
pleasure at retfent grants to the
college from the Ford Foundation,
the Wachovia Bank and Trust
Company and the Esso Founda
tion,
Clarifying an action taken by
the trustees some years ago to
limit Elon's enrollment to 1,000
students, the rulling wa» inter
preted to mean a 1,000-student
limit upon enrollment in day
time classes at the college. The
Elon Evening School, which cur
rently has more than 300 students,
is a recent development on the
campus and was not considered
in the original trustee ruling.

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.
