I hear that Sandy Berg
man, The Girl From U.
N.C.A.S. — ville, Conn.,
had graduated and left the
academic en/irons of E-
lon, but I still think she
deserves a reminiscent
tribute.
The photographer was
clicking away, outcheer-
ing the cheerleader as
she leaped high, showing
a discreet amount of L.
E.G.
“How can you get so
far up in the air?” he
asked the trim blonds.
“Huff-puff,” she said,
“It takes coordination.”
“Where did you learn
to jumr> and all the yell
ing routines?”
“Oh. I suppose much of
what we do has been hand
ed down. I went to a clinic
and picked up a few
tricks.”
“At Elon?”
“No,” said Sandy, “At
Uncasville. That’s U-n-
c-a-s,...”
“Yes, 1 know,” said the
photographer.
About that time, one
of Sandy’s lieutenants,
Gail Porter, an import
from Wilmington, Del.,
philosophized a little on
the art of cheerlealing.
“It’s a lot different in
college from in high
school, ” she said, “You
see, college people think
of themselves as more
sophisticated.”
“Then you feel respon
ses from the stands are
inadequate?”
“Well, not exactly —
but they’re never quite as
good as we on the floor
would like.”
“And I think basketball
cheering is better than
football/’ Sandy observed.
“That’s true,” agreed
Gail. “People are too
busy watching all that
goes on in football. In
basketball we have closer
confinement.”
“And you don’t get rain
ed on in the gym,” the
photographer mused.
“What happens in football
when it rains?”
“Wcj get wet,” Sandy
said.
“What’s with cheer-
leading, anyway?” the
picture man asked. “Why
did you get into it in the
first place?”
‘‘1 don’t know if you’ll
understand this.” she
The Elon Christians
fell victim once more to
“travel-itis” as they
dropped a road game to
the Erskine Seceders on
the Erskine court hereon
Wednesday night, Febru
ary 21st, by a 69 to 61
margin. The game was a
non-conference tilt and
did not alter the Elon
standings in cheCarolinas
Conference.
The game started slow
ly for both teams, with
the Seceders mo/ing to
the front at 7-6 after four
minutes of action, and the
visiting Christians never
regained the lead after
that point.
The Erskine cagers,
who had lost to the Uni
versity of South Carolina
by a scant five-point mar
gin, had moved out to an
11-point lead at 36-25 by
the halftime. Eloncutthat
margin slightly in the
second half, but the
Christians could never
recover from the lapses
of the early play.
The Christians, who
could hit on only 33 per
cent of their floor shots,
put four men in double
figures, compared with
three double-digit shoot
ers for the Seceders, but
Erskine banged in 49 per
cent of her floor shots
to hold the lead.
Richard McGeorge, for
a second game in suc
cession, topped the Elon
scoring, hitting for 19
points, other Elon lead
ers were Bobby Atkins
with 16, Henry Goedeck
with 13 and Tommy Da
vis with 10 points. Mike
Jenkins topped the Seced
ers with 27 points.

Dr Malvin Artley, of the Elon College music faculty, is pictured above in an
informal moment, indulging one of his special interests and demonstrating one of
his soecial skills, that of repairing the stringed instruments that he plays and teaches
with such fine skill. Instruction in this art of repairing stringed musical instru
ments is just one of the varied features of the program for the annual southeastern
regional convention of the American Stringed Teachers’ Association, which will meet
on the Elon campus from August 11th to August 16th during the coming summer.
The group also held its annual gathering on the Elon campus last summer.
The judge glared down
at the rum soaked cha
racter standing with his
wife before the bench.
“You have been a dis
graceful and negligent
husband and have failed
to support your wife in
a proper manner,” he
said sternly, “I am chere
fore awarding her $100
per month from now on.”
The bloodshot eyes ra
diated with a happy glow.
“Gee, Judge, yer honor,
that’s swell of you, . ,
and I’ll try to slip her
a buck or two myself
from tims‘ to time.
said, “but a girl likes
to feel as though she’s a
part of what’s going on,
and cheerleading is a field
other than intramurals.”

tal of 31 points at half-
time.
The Western Carolina
star continued his per
sonal attack in the second
half as he hit nine more
field buckets and added
nine of ten charity shots
for 27 points. This ran
his total for the night to
58 points, within two
points of his own all-time
Conference record for a
single game.
Three other Western
Carolina players were in
double digits for the night,
with Greg Wittman and
Sam Sapp each hitting 13
points and with Bob
Thompson adding ID
counters,
Richard McGeorge was
the top man for the Elon
cagers, with the big soph
omore forward hitting his
personal high for the year
as he hit nine field goals
in fifteen tries and added
seven free throws for 25
points, Henry Goedeck
had 16 points, and Tom
McGee got 10 as the only
other Christians to hit
double figures.

SPORT SPOTS
(Continued from page 3)
such a system, the eighth
spot was equally as good
as the fifth.
And now, regardless of
how that first-round of
tournament play came out,
we should all thank Coach
Bill Miller and his boys
for an exciting brand of
basketball played this
season and for the fight
ing spirit that overcame
a bad start and tacked a
fine finish on regular-
season play. '

als,” “Facts and Fiction
About Sex” and “1 he Art
And Skill Of Getting Along
With People,”
In his conversation and
teaching. Dr. Duvall
makes some highly inter
esting observations on
current social problems.
He points out that pre
sent-day young people, c-
specially those of college
age, are under much
greater pressure than
was his own generation in'
youth.
“My generation did not
have to worry about the
draft,” he says and points
out that “the national debt
was not big enough to
worry about, and 1 can
remember when 1 paid no
income tax,”
Is is upon these pres
sures and upon almost
universal lack of under
standing of current prob
lems in human relations
that he blames the acti
vism and protests of A-
merican youth.
