Town candidates to speak tonight A town meeting to hear can didates for mayor and alder men of Elon College will be held tonight at 7:30 in the ele mentary school. Sponsors are the League of Women Voters and the Junior Chamber of Commerce, both county-wide organizations. The election is Nov. 8. At another meeting, in the parish house of the Communi ty Church on Tuesday evening, incumbent candidates indicat ed they had previous engage ments tonight or simply could not attend tonight’s meeting. The challengers will be present. About 100 residents of Elon College including faculty and students, heard candidates for mayor and aldermen speak on their qualifications and answered questions at the Tuesday meeting. Incumbents T.L. Smith, mayor, and aldermen M.E. Campbell, and Robert Olsen, Jr., appeared with Clyde L. Fields, Sr., challenger for mayor, Sid Norton, and Mrs. Nell Snyder, candidates for aldermen. Dr. Mallory Masters was chairman. Each candidate set forth his or her qualitications to hold ihe job. The incumbents reite rated their part in improve ments such as water lines, new water tank, a fire department that had “ironed out” prob lems, and 24-hour police pro tection. Mr. Fields, chairman of the Bicentennial Committee, called for an advisory board for policy before policy be came set and difficult to change. He suggested an “ap pearance commission,” good organization, and procedures with “rational consideration of all issues.” He said he felt that the court suit against the college regarding zoning could have been worked out before things reached this point. Mrs. Snyder, wife of the executive director of the Elon Home for Children, voiced support for light industry and part-time work which would increase tax revenues. She was not for a merger with any other town. Mrs. Snyder said she would like to see the board of aldermen as a policy-making body which would leave the day-to-day running of depart ments to their heads and to an administrtive secretary. Sid Norton said he wished to be elected because he was con vinced that the board needed some unbiased opinions. He was for making Elon College current with the times, pro viding more recreation for young and old, and improving college-town relations. All this would give Elon College pride and progress. Questions from the floor ranged from those about the college and the zoning ordin ances, the budgeting of $10,- 000 for attorneys’ fees from tax monies, and the topic of merger with Burlington. Mr. Campbell, 76, said he was asked why he was running again after 11 years on the board. “I am mayor pro tem, and I want to continue the good work we’ve started.

The students who were se lected to appear in this year’s edition are: Linda Bartlet, Maurice Boswell, Bill Britton, Sam Burgess, Bunny Carr, Gayle Fishel, Chuck Griffith, Kelly Harris, Dana Hill, Kevin Holland, Todd Iddings, Chris Jernigan, Kemp Liles, Wes McLaughlin, Bernadette Mc Mullen, Tim Moore, Robin Moser, Mark Payne, Becky Sharpe and Janice Summers. Selections for Who’s Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges are made each fall. In nominating the upperclassmen, campus nominating committees are urged to apply their own local • standards of academic excel lence. Elon’s own nominating committee is composed of rep resentatives from the student body, faculty, and adminis tration. This procedure of local nomination serves to highlight the individual and diverse talents of America’s most prominent students. For their contributions and service to community and school, these are the students who enhance the positive image of American youth. Because curricular and extracurricular programs vary greatly, each college is assigned a quota of nominees. This year Elon had a quota of 34. This quota is carefully calculated to insure a well- rounded representation of the student body. All nominations must be endorsed by a college’s faculty or administration. In addition to the local and national publicity that each student chosen for the Who’s Who program receives, his complete biography will be presented m this year’s edition of “Who’s Who Among Stu dents in American Universities and Colleges.” After 43 years of serving higher education, this Who’s Who exists as one of the most highly regarded and long standing honors programs in the nation, having earned the respect of college faculties and administrations. And for the students — the outstanding campus leaders of the year — national recognition by the Who’s Who program marks a pinnacle of scholastic achieve ment.

[Photo by Dr. Paul Cheek] Science department introduces PSI ‘The TKE Brothers Want You!” By Jane Whitfield The PSI (Personalized Sys tem of Instruction) is being tried this year at Elon for the first time under the direction of Dr. J Earl Danieley. It is being tried on an experimental basis and will be used next year for general chemistry courses. When studying by the PSI method, along with the regular chemistry classes, students are provided with a study guide prepared by the professor. The study guide is composed of many units which include exercises, problems, and sam ple self tests. The student must make 90 or above on the unit test before going on to another unit. The student may take the test four times without penal ty. Dr. Danieley explained that the reasoning behind repeated tests is the emphasis on each student mastering the work. Dr. Danieley believes this is a very good method of teach ing chem.istry. He said “some students catch on faster than others and there is no middle way to teach all of them.”
