England study-tour set
by Mary E. Priestley
A tentative calendar of
activities for participants in
p e British Studies program
in England during January
has been worked out by Dr.
Davi. Crowe, director, and
members of the study-tour
faculty.
The group vill leave Dulles
Airport, Washington, at 8:30
p.m. Jan. 3, arriving at
Heathrow about 8:30 a.m.
London time, Jan. 4. (Eng
land is five hours ahead of
Elon College.) A bus will take
the group with their baggage
along an historic route to the
Kennedy Hotel near Euston
Station (railway and under
ground) where they will check
in and have time for some
sleep before setting out to see
their surroundings.
One of the first learning
sessions, after trading some
U.S. dollars for English
pounds, will be to try the
underground (subway) trains
and to learn to get about the
West End of London.
On Jan. 5 the group will
go by coach to the ancient
city of Winchester, to Salis
bury with its cathedral, and
to Stonehenge, the prehistoric
circles of giant stones on
Salisbury Plain. On Saturday,
a visit to the Houses of
Parliament and the hammer-

Landmark has no more use
by Robin Adams
The water tower in front of
Carlton is scheduled to be
removed in the near future.
“The tower is causing a
hazard and must be re
moved,” said Mr. McCauley,
director of physical plant.
Several years ago, the state
health department said a com
mercial well should be 100
feet from any building, and
only one of the college’s four
wells meets that requirement.
As of May 1, the college
has been on the town’s water
supply. The delay has been
long because several years ago
the town couldn’t supply the
school enough water nor was
there enough water pressure,
Mr. McCauley said. During
the early part of the year the
town completed a 200,000-
gallon water tank that would
serve both school and com
munity.
Mr. McCauley said lately
the water supply from the
town is a little low because of
a leak in the line. Recently,
the town has been using water
from a hook-up in Burling
ton. The Burlington supply
was only to be used for fire
protection.
Mr. McCauley said that
many people would hate to
see the tower go because they
thought of it as a landmark.
However, it’s a dangerous
landmark and must be re
moved before any damage is
done. The danger occurs be
cause the tower is empty and
it’s becoming more of a
problem to find people to
paint and repair it.
