Point Quint
Grabbing the lead with the first
basket and holding the front all
the way, the Elon basketeers rolled
over High Point's Panthers 79 to
57 here on Wednesday night. Feb
ruary 1st. It was Elon's third win
over the Panthers this season, in
cluding two regular-season tilts
nd a tournament battle at Parris
Island.
Dee Atkinson racked 23 points,
and Ben Kendall hit-ftir 22 mark
ers to top the Elon offensive play
in one of the lowest scores posted
by Elon this year. Ed Juratlc,
with 12 points, was the only other
Christian to top the 10-point level.
The real feature of the game
for the Christians was their de
fensive play, with Frank DeRita
turning in a brilliant performance
in guarding Jack Powell, High
Point’s ace forward. Powell got
his first and only field goal barely
five minutes before the end of
the game, and most of his 7-point
total came on free throws.
The Christians had another
good night from the floor, bucket
ing 27 of 65 tries for a 41.5 per
centage, and their marksmanship
produced baskets on more than
lialf their tries in the first half.
High Poinl connected on just 33.9
per cent of their shots.

AVIZONIS STORY
(Continued From Page Two)
An American bombing raid on
Freiburg, Germany, on November
27, 1944, did much damage. »nd
Dr. Avizonis was then assigned to
the task of cleaning debris from
the streets. He still recalls vividly
his joy when the French soldiers
entered Freiburg on April 23-24,
J945, for this meant that enforced
work was ended. After the liber
ation he became a lecturer in the
.Mber-Ludwig University In Frei
burg, teaching Eastern European
and Russian history until the sum
mer of 1948.
Dr. Avizonis' estate had been
confiscated by the Russian Com-
miunists, and arrangements for
him and his wife to come to Amer
ica were made, partly through a
brother of his. who resided in
Waterbury. Conn.
Jle and his wife came from
Waterbury to their present post
here at Elon College, where his
assignment a? professor of French
and German enables him to use
his knowledge of languages. He
al.so knows the Lithuanian, Rus
sian. Latin and Polish languages.
In addition to the French, German
and English.
Mrs. Angele Avizonis, who came
here to Elon with her husband in
the autumn of 1949, was also well
L’ducated in her native countay.
being a graduate of the Lithuanian
University in Kaunas and having
fourteen years served as a teacher
of the German language and liter
ature in the secondary school sys
tem. After coming to Elon, she
studied library science at the
University of North Carolina,
vhere she accepted a position with
the library staff.
Both Dr. and Mrs. Avizonis ex
press themselves as happy with

Dancing
Refreshments
Lovers of the dance will find
things strictly to their liking at
Elon's annual 'Mid-Winter Dance '
which will be staged in Alumni
Memorial Gymnasium on Friday
night. February 17th from 8 un-
1il 12 o'clock.
Such was the announcement
from members of the Student
Dance Committee, which is in
charge of arrangements. This will
high-light the winter social sea
son on the Elon campus.
The committee has stated that
the dance will be a semi-formal
affair, and as for the decorative
scheme, it will center about a
' alentine motif. Student activity
cards will be honored at the door.
Music for the dance will be fur
nished by Russ Carlton and his
orchestra, which hails from Dan
ville. Va. Carlton has previously
played lead trumpet with some of
Ihe very best bands that have
come out of the Southland. How
ever, being a natural comic be
cause of his tremendous size, he
was called on to sing and sing and
>ing, so he dropped the lead trum
pet and concentrated more on his
novelties, such as “Annie's Cou
sin Fanny," “Pray For the Lights
to Go Out,” “There'll Be Good
Rocking Tonight,* "60-Minute
Man " and "Romona,” and these
have followed him throughout the
territory played. All are in greater
demand today than ever before.
A lover of the fme-voiced and
balanced arrangements, Russ Carl
ton has used extreme care in his
selection of arrangers and men
to play them, and it is no wonder
that the band has caught on by
leaps and bounds. He and his band
are now enjoying the Breatest
lun of popularity they have tvei
known.
Rosemary Moss, Carlton's pret-j
ty vocalist, has completely won |
her audience wherever she hasi
been heard. She has very wonder
ful and unique style, so wholly!
her own that she is completely [
in a class by herself. Possessing
a wonderful voice, she sings with
a relaxed style that is thrilling
!o hear. Singing tunes from all
the moods, she reaches a perfec
tion seldom heard when she does
tunes of the ballad typo from the
shows and the classics. She is
equally at home singing Krupa's
■'Bookie Woogie." or right back'
with Jerome Kern's "Can't Help
Loving That Man" or “'Vou Go To
My Head. " She really loves her
songs, and most of them were ar
ranged especially for her by the
Carlton aggregation.
Also with the Russ Carlton or
chestra is Charlie Price, who has
only been with the band a short
time. He does ballad type vocals
and the popular tunes of the day.
riis favorite singers are Mel Torme
and Billy Ekstein: and. while he
hasn't been singing long enough |
10 have developed a particular!
-tylc. it Is quite sure that those!

led the Christians out to a 12-

LIBRARY NOTES
PLAYER REVIEW
(Continued From Page One)
Other characters in the play,
which was staged against beauti
fully executed stage settings, in
cluded Roger Rush, as Leo Hub
bard; Thomas Lewis, as William
Marshall; Carolyn Duncan, as
Alexandra Giddens; Betsy Watson,
as Addie; and William Davis, as
Cal. All deserved tribute, as did
the workers behind the scenes who
did so well with setting, lights
and properties.
One of the most informati.e
and entertaining books added til
the shelves of the Elon Ubra,
recently is Reinhard H. Luthin
American Demagogues," which
sketches in most interesting ma
ner the lives and political caree
cf ten Americans who have as
pired to be Masters of the Masses
This book, as one critic said, is
"proof that it can happen here”
for these ten demagogic leaders f
cf the .people rose more or
from humble beginnings to com
manding roles in American poli-r
tics.
In most cases these demagogues'
were "of the people," and they
used that fact as ammunition to:
persuade the voters that they
were also “for the people." Most
of them exploitea race or religion
or both in an emotional appeal!
to the voters. All were talented
exhibitionists.
The ten vignettes include Hueyl
Long, Joseph McCarthy, Theodore
"The Man" Bilbo, Vito Marcan-
tonio, "Alfalfa Bill” Murray.
James Curley, “Ma” and “Pa"
Ferguson, Gene Talmadge,
Bill” Thompson and Frank '1 Am
The Law” Hague.
Allen Nevins, eminent American
historian, has said that “Dr. Lu-
thin’s book shows how naturally
these demagogues arise under the
free conditions of democracy."
