the college. Most of these living

ance on their furniture
Firefighting units from Elon Col
lege. Burlington, Gibsonville and
Altamahaw-Ossipee were all rush
ed to the scene and cooperated In
Fighting the blaze, and their com
bined effort, plus the fact that
there was very little wind blow
ing at the time, confined the flam
s to the one building and its six
apartments.
Latest report frum an Elon Col
lege student in a European uni
versity presents a picture of the
German educational system, writ
ten oy Waller Grom. Elon junior
from West Fulton, N. V., who is
studying this year al Heidelberg
University. His most recent re
port follows:
In order to understand German
Education properly one must start
al the beginning. A child enters
grade school al the age of five
or six. He goes together with his
assniatcs until the fifth grade.
ii«re the first "weeding out " takes
place. Tests are given to place
the child into the "Gymnasium";
11 he tails the test, he must con
tinue in grade school ualil the
eighth grade and usually learns a
trade afterward. The student who
passes the test in the fifth grade us
ually goes into the ""Gymnasium"’
and must study there for nine years
or more until he has made his
""Arbitur"' or Diploma. The stu
dent may be from 19-22 years old
when he enters the university.
After entering the university, ev
erything is left for the student to
decide; he may make his degree
anytime when he leels that he is
ready. It may take the student
four years or thirty; it is left com
pletely up to him.
The most important part of
school system is its teachers. In
grade school and "Gymnasium"
the teachers are very strict and
expect everything to be as perfect
as possible from the individual
student. This guality of perfection
and desire for knowledge is im
bedded into the student; so that
by the time he gets to the univer
sity he is ready for the " academic
freedom"' there. At the university
the professor plays a relative small
part in the education of the stu
dent The professor just reads off
his material in front of a large
group and leaves the lecture hall
as fast a.s he came in. A German
professor is a re.searcher not a
"Sp>oonfeeder’" to his students.
Here, again, all is left up to the
student. The German student is
also a researcher and must seek
hi*; knowledge.
As for tests, there are next to
none. A student only takes a few
important tests at the end of his
studium; that is, when he feels
liiat he is ready for them. If he
passes, which is usually the case,
he gets his degree.
To you Elon students the "no

There will be an Elon team
and an Elon queen in the an
nual Carolinas Conference cage
tournament, which gets under
way at the Lexington Y.MCA
next Wednesday night and con
tinues through Saturday night of
next week
The Christian cage squad is
definitely in the tournament as
one of the eight top teams in the
conference, but its chances for a
seeded berth rested squarely on
the outcome of two final games
with Lenoir Rhyne and Western
Carolina.
There is always great campus
interest here in the annual
tournament, but there is added
interest thLs year with Elon’s
■Sue Ferguson reigning as “Queen
of the Tournament.”
The Fighting Christian cagers
rode with a crew of hot-shooting
guards as they trampled the Camp
bell College Camels 72 to 50 in a
non-conference battle at Buie's
Creek, with more than half of the
first-half drive.
In addition to MiUer and Win
frey, the only other Christian hit
ting double figures in the scoring
column was Dewey Andrew, who
racked four field goals and a
Elon points coming on some dev-!brace of free throws for 10 points,
astating shooting from the far | Mike Reidy had 16 and Bobby Bis-
reaches of the court. [hop with 11 were top men for the
Roland Miller, eagled-eyed little
junior guard, ripped the nets for
21 points to pace the Christian at
tack, while Dave Winfrey chipped
in 14 and Bill Morningstar 5 coun
ters to give the Elon outside boys
a total of 39 of the team’s 72
points for the night.
The accuracy of the Christian
guards for the game was even
more brilliant than the point to
tal would indicate, for Miller, Win
frey and Morningstar connected on
19 of 34 tries from the floor for
a brilliant 56 per cent in long-
range shooting. Miller hit 10 of
14 tries to set the pace for his
mates.
The long-range shooting became
necessary when the Camels col
lapsed their defenses on Dewey
Andrew and the other inside men.
Facing such a defense, the Elon
guards began hitting early and
connected on 20 points from the
outside to lead the Christians to a
34 to 25 lead at intermission. Mil
ler got 14 of his points in this
homestanding Camels.
