The Emanons, Elon’s jazz workshop group, recently
finished a tour of three states with their jazz, rock
and contemporary concert.
The college musicians kicked off their road show
with a concert at the College February 23, followed

ville high schools, February 25; Martinsville and
HillRville, Va. high schools, February 26; Princeton

ard Hudson on the piano, David Abernethy on the
drums, and Dallas Smith on the guitar, in addition
to a section of trumpets, trombones, and saxo
phones.

tunes as "Sunny”, the Chicago Transit’s “Nobody
Knows What Time It Is”, “Jude” by the Beatles,
and “Montage”, a contemporary jazz number.
Elon Defeats High Point
(Continued from page 3)
ing the early first half.
Elon went ahead for the
first time in the game 21-
20 when Cole converted
his third 3 point play with
6:37 left in the half. The
lead changed hands
several times until Hick-
lin put the Christians in
the lead permanently with
1:20 left in the half. The
Elon squad went to the
dressing room with a 31-
29 advantage.
In the first half High
Point shot 37% and cap
tured 23 rebounds while
the Christians fired 35%
from the floor and cap
tured 21 rebounds. Three
point plays by Cole, as
sists and good defense by
Marshall on the Panther’s
Witt, and key baskets by
Robbie Hickoin sparked
the Fighting Christians
first half attack.
In the first six min
utes of the second half,
Elon outscored the
Panthers contributing 15
points to the Panther’s 7
points, giving the Christ
ians a 10 point lead 46-
36. Baskets were made by
Cole, Trautwein, Mar
shall, and McGee. Elon
maintained this advantage
with the aid of a man for
man pressure defense,
Elon increased the lead
in the final portion of the
fourth quarter capitaliz
ing on freethrows from
fouls incurred by the Pan
thers. Brown, Hicklin,
Wallace, Berry, and Mc
Gee each had turns at the
charity line contributing
clutch freethrows.
Elon’s 88-69 victory
highlighted by Cole’s ef
fort of 28 points was the
result of team play and
good defense by the
Christians. Witt, High
Point’s school record
scorer, was limited to 25
points in behalf of the
Panther effort.

In an effort to better
prepare students for mod
ernized business, Elon is
now offering two data pro
cessing courses which
are taught by Allen Sand
ers, associate professor
of Business Administra
tion and Accounting.
The courses are open
to all majors. A Survey
of Data Processing is off
ered in the fall which is
a two hour course. Prac
tical Applications of Data
Processing is offered
during the winter term in
conjunction with the fall
course.
These courses aid the
student in gaining famil
iarity with two kinds of
equipment: the punch card
machine and computers.
A punch card machine
reads the holes punched
in cards. A computer is
an electronic data pro
cessing machine. The
main difference between
the two machines is the
speed at which they op
erate.
The first day of class,
students are divided into
three groups. The groups
are referred to as the
hardware department, the
systems and procedures
department and the term
inology and language de
partment, Each group is
responsible for becoming
experts in their individ
ual department and for
presenting their findings
to the other members of
the class.
A chairman is chosen
for each department, and
the chairman meets with
his two or three times
a week in order to dis
cuss their project.
The chairmen of each
department also meets
with the instructor in or
der to plan a work sche
dule and discuss any pro
blems that they may have.
At the end of the se
mester, the chairmen e-
valuate each group mem
ber. In turn, the chairmen
are evaluated by the in
structor.
Prof. Sanders feels that
almost every college
graduate will run into a
situation where compu
ters are being used, and
they will need to under
stand a certain amount of
terminology in order to
get a clear picture of
business operations. He
feels that the student

should learn enough from
these courses to deal in
telligently with various
situations encountered
after graduation.
These two courses give
the student an opportunity
to become deeply involv
ed in their siiject. The

pects of their chosen
field. According to Prof.
Sanders, the student will
gain more knowledge
when he is given extra
responsibility. This also
increases the desire to

promotions and tenure.
At least four student
evaluations will be re
quested for each faculty
member being considered
for promotion. Three of
the students will be chos
en by the chairman of the
faculty member’s depart
ment and one will be chos
en by the faculty member
himself.
The evaluation form to
be used by the students
will differ from those used
by the colleagues, chair
man and dean in that it
will ask specifically for
the student’s comments
on the faculty member’s
teaching. The forms car
ry information on the act
ivities in research, pub
lication, consultation and
advisement which are ex
pected of every faculty
member.
The committee empha
sized that as in the past,
no one would be advanced
in rank or denied pro
motion simply on an iso
lated evaluation of any
kind. The student evalua
tions will be used begin
ning with the 1970-71 aca
demic year.

Drake has several pro
mising candidates for the
pitching staff: Billy
Schultz from Morristown,
N. J., Mike Futrell from
Virginia Beach, and Ger
ald Campbell.
Drake stated that, "We
need to get outdoors and
practice, since the gym
nasium can only help get
the ball-players in shape
and going over the basic
fundamentals.” Asked a-
bout the upcoming season,
Drake replied. We will
be an exciting ballclub to
watch, and for the team to
be successful, the vet
erans must hit, since
there will be quite a few
ballplayers on the club
who have not played coll
ege ball yet.”
As for the prediction of
the coming season, Elon
will be in contention a-
long with High Point, Ca
tawba, and Pfeiffer. If the
young players can pro*
duce along with the re
turning lettermen, Elon
should have a real fin®
ballclub, which both the
student body and Coacn
Drake may be proud of.
