Intramural, baseball fields
now underway on Elon campus
by Kay Raskin
Many students returning to
Elon may think, with ail the red
earth turned up around the
campus, that Elon is infested
with giant moles. Well, another
creature is digging up the
campus, the telephone
company.
After years of planning,
Southern Bell lias this year
placed the lines on the east part
of the campus underground.
Registration by mail made lines shorter, but some students
still had to deal with schedule problems. (News Bureau

Prices are increased for
town parking violations
by Gary Spitler
Anyone getting a ticket in the
town of Elon College will note
that it is not the regular fee of
$1.00. Instead a $5.00 parking
fine will be issued for ANY
parking violation in Elon
College. .
The new $5 fine went mto
effect August 1 and was adopted
at a July meeting of the Elon
College Town Board. There is a
ten-day compliance regulation
or else it will become a
misdemeanor. The police
department also has towmg
Now when one looks at the sky,
that's all one sees, unless of
course a pigeon is flying by.
Other plans being carried out
this year are those concerning
the development of the Caddell
property, approximately 40
acres adjacent to Staley and
Moffett dorms. Phase 1, which
concerns a baseball field, three
intramural fields and a parking
lot, is getting underway. The
grading has already begun, and
waterlines are being laid
underground for future
fountains and a field house with
dressing facilities.
The only change from
previous plans is the addition of
the parking lot for Staley and
Moffett and student parking
during intramural events.
Melvin Shreves, director of
Public Information, .says the
facilities will probably not be
ready for this spring but much
depends on the weather this
winter.
London tour, winter term,
is ‘‘bargain of lifetime
The Study Abroad Program
in England for the winter term
is shaping up bigger and better
than ever this year. Mrs.
Marjorie Long, tour coordinator,
has announced that students
should sign up for the January
course abroad and pay the $25
deposit as soon as possible to
hold a place.
Interest areas this year
include business
administration, English
literature, English history, the
humanities, music, political
science, and college programs.
Upon completion, all will offer
three semester hours credit
except for college programs
which offers two.
Emphiisizing the liberal arts
core of this college, the program
abroad centers about a
humanities core of historical,
literary, architectural and
artistic interest. All
participants will take tours to
, the historic sites such as
Windsor Castle, the largest in
Europe, to Shakespeare's
Stratford, Canterbury
Cathedral, Dover Castle,
Winchester with its Saxon
burials and King Arthur's
Round Table, ancient
Stonehenge. In London students
will visit the major monuments,
galleries, museums, cathedrals
and churches. All will see plays
and attend concerts, and each
group will have its own
.specialty for in-depth study. All
will have free time for
sightseeing, shopping, eating at
pubs, making their discoveries.
The cost for the month has
been called "the bargain of a
lifetime," for the college has
chartered a plane and worked
• out package deals for the first
class hotels in Russell Square,
London's West End, full English
breakfasts, jet travel from
Greensboro and back, several
tours, and tuition for up to three

authority for any vehicles
which are in violation of laws
and ordinances.
The main purpose of the new
fine is to try to move student
parking on Elon College streets
into parking lots on and around
campus, especially the lot
behind the Texaco station.
Students are reminded that a
$5 minimum fine will be
imposed for all violations This
includes overtimes, parking in
prohibited areas, and parking
on the left side of curb. All other
traffic and parking laws must
also be obeyed.
Duke Power Company
customers have been getting
more than their electric bills in
their billing envelopes over the
last several months. Duke
Power has included pamphlets
on the safety and wisdom of
nuclear power and offered free
booklets on the American
economic system and
government ownership of power
companies, and is passing the
cost of these publications along
to the consumers.
'This policy forces all Elon
College students, faculty and
administration to pay for
Duke's propaganda," said PIRG
director Peter W'. Brown,
"whether they receive a bill
from Duke Power directly (as do
most who live off-campus) or
indirectly. Off-campus students
will pay directly, in the monthly
bill they receive from Duke
Power. On-campus students
will pay indirectly through
their tuition which, of course,
must pay Elon College's light
bills. Beyond monetary loss we
are all losers because the
positions Duke Power advocates
;ire totally self-.serving or in the
words of a Duke spokesman
"self-protection.”
North Carolina PIRG has
filed a complaint with the State
Utilities (Commission alleging
that Duke Power is violating
customers' rights under state
and constitutional law and is
engaging in an "unjust and
unreasonable" practice by
taking advantage of its
monopoly status to
propagandize customers at their
own expense. Although Duke
Power calls these costs
"operating expenses," PIRG
claims that they serve only to
promote the political opinions of
Duke Power which in no way
serve the best interests of its
customers.
"The basic question,
continued Brown, "is whether
Duke Power can charge us to
promote its political views on
key issues. We say their free
ride must stop."
Duke Power will ask the
State Utilities Commission to
dismiss PIRG’s complaint at a
hearing before the commission,
