already getting calls from
parents saying that’s all

The students lived in

hall. Elon . College
professors taught most of
the courses, gearing the
level of learning to the age
group in the camp that
week. Students were invited
to attend the camp based on
recommendations by local
schools. They had an
average I. Q. of 130.
Students were divided into
groups for the morning
program, depending on
their area of interest. They
could choose from classes in
chemistry and math,
biology, English and
creative writing, business
and computer math, or
French, German and
Spanish. Core courses in the
afternoons consisted of
creative dramatics,
creative movement and
exercise, and three
dimensional design.
Evening activities included
films, basketball and
volleyball, swimming and
games.
Dr. J. Earl Danieley, who
taught the general
chemistry courses, said his
students showed
remarkable motivation and
willingness to learn.

Edmisten Tackles
Fraud Cases
Continued From Page 4-B
Unavailable, that is, until
the ill-fated news con
ference where Green
suggested that he was given
the money by the kind of
man who “just likes to give
gifts.”
Since that news con
ference (which was cut
short during questioning),
Green has apparently been
unavailable for most kinds
of comment.
To be honest, the use of
Edmisten, teacher aides
and the lieutenant governor
as fodder for a blast against
news conferences isn’t
really fair.
Afterall, newspapers
don’t have to cover every
staged event, and reporters
don’t have to Use the news
conference as a crutch. And
teacher’s aides are
definitely effective. And
Edmisten’s announcement
on fraud was entirely valid.
And Green’s initial news
conferences certainly filled
a considerable void.
The point is, maybe
everybody ought to be just a
little more aware of the
process.

Business Counci On
The Arts Begun
Support for cultural
programs by North
Carolina’s small and
medium-sized businesses
will gain added recognition
this year through the
Governor’s Business
Council on the Arts and
Humanities, Gov. Jim Hunt
announces.
Since its formation in 1977,
the Council has worked
closely with the Department
of Cultural Resources and
state business leaders to
stimulate business in<-
volvement in the arts and
humanities.
“Business and the arts go
hand-in-hand,” Hunt said at
a news conference, marking
the fifth year of the Coun
cil’s efforts. “A community
rich in cultural resources
clearly holds an advantage
over other areas competing
for new business.”
Hunt said that business
support of cultural
programs was a key reason
for the flourishing state of
the arts in much of North
Carolina. Additional effort
is needed, however, to make
cultural programs of all
