LLOYD ELECTRIC CO Main St., Carrboro Phone 9-3862 HQI. . . i BILL PROUTY f H ACC Basketball T Large On Horizon ~ It’s probably a good thing that semester exams ( will dose down ACC basketball activity for a while, so ; hectic and bizarre are becoming some of the results of I the family struggles for seeded spots in the ACC tour ney at N. C. State 1 conic Mtlrch. For intance, who’d have thought Duke’s up and down sophomores could have beaten defending cham pion Maryland at Duke Saturday, after taking a 81- I iHiint licking from the same team oniv 10 days before ! at College Park? And how about Virginia, which up set mighty West Virginia, having won only one game in the ACC, an upset win over those same unpredict able Blue Devils? As for the hectic part of the campaign, how about those explosive games between State and Carolina and ' State and Wake Forest with flying fists and elbows | threatening to explode into real rhubarbs? It's possible that the players around the loop will find that ev» n studying for and taking tough exams will be- a ic-.-pitc ,15 nil the rigors of race, which has reached only the easiest half of its whole. Which brings u> to the old question:. How come the ACC champion, AND the 1 conferences represen tative- in NCAA play," must pick up all the marbles right down in State College’s own rirfg? Fach ACC team must play the other members twice a season on ! a hnme-and-home basis. That’s 11 games out , to last week’s NCAA meeting) a 28-game schedule. I Why isn't that IT-game schedule a fair basis upon | which to liame the ACC champion; or, failing that. ! why shouldn't the percentage winner represent the ACC in the NCAA eliminations? Or if they can’t see it that way, how about the ACC requiring each team to play every member j only one game a season, in order to make up the seed j ings for the tournament? In this way, each team could make up a more attractive schedule, playing ; those teams which are natural rivals two or even three games annually, while having but one game with tin 1 schools which have no local appeal at the I gate? In other words, in a league in which it is possible for a team to win the championship by winning only three games (those at the tourney), why should each school have to. take up over half its schedule with loop games, many of which are artistic and financial turkeys? The day of the intersection;!! basketball game is here, so, since the percentage winner in the ACC means nothing except the top seeded pot in the ACC tourney, why shouldn’t seven games do just as well as 11, thus leaving that many more dates for out side opponents. Money, of course, is the ansvvef. Salaries for the commissioner and. his office force and houekeepirig costs for Jim Weaver’s diggings in (ireensboro are. taken from the tournament play. There’ a lot of money made at the annual ACC tourney in Reynolds Coli seum, and conference officials are afraid that a tour nament whose winner is not declared the ACC cham pion AND the .conference’s NCAA representative, might possibly lay an egg which' would not be exactly 11 karat. ThTs may be true. But, on the other hand, most loops around the country seem to get along without a tournament to declare their champion and the NCAA representative. So why not the ACC? Moreover, there is no as.suranet that an ACC tournament to de clare a TOURNAMENT champion (after the percent age winner has been named ACC champion AND NCAA representative) would not he a financial sue-' cess. It’s probable that the percentage winner would quite often win the tourney also. But even if the top regular-season team doesn't win the ACC tournament, isn’t it just as fair to let it represent the league in NCAA play as it is to allow for the possibility of a team which has not even won a game in league play to become the loop’s champion and standard hearer in NCAA play by getting hot in the tourney? It’s something to think about while 1 the hoys hit the books instead of the baskets. i . ( ONFEREME STANDINGS Team W L Ret.

January 21 Estes Hills PTA Hears Talks On Language and Science Courses By Ron Shumate Are foreign language and scien ce courses in elementary schools necessary? George V Taylor pre sented this question to the Estes Hills Elementary School PTA Thursday night. Mr Taylor, program chairman for the organization, presented two j speakers who gave their opinions on the matter. Prof .1 0. Bailey and Prof S. Y Tyree Jr. Prut Bailey, ol the INC De partment of English, told of lus experiences with Turkish elemen tary school students on hfs v re-‘ cent year of teaching in Turkey He said Turkish students first be gin to take a foreign language,! {usually English or French? about the sixth grade, and that they must have knowledge of foreign languages in order to study-ordi nary subjects, since most of their books are printed in a foreign language.. ♦•The students had little trouble with syntax,” said Prof. Bailey. They learned idioms early, and used English naturally Speaking of foreign languages in I American schools, he said, "For most people there is no apparent 'need tor a foreign language. If a j pupil needs' it at all he should learn it early enough to.be able to read j and speak it with ease and flu ency He added that the ability ; lo" speak fluently in a foreign ■language learned in childhood may ! not fade away if one reads enough to keep up his ability He stressed teaching conversation and spelling first and grammar later "In which elementary grades should foreign languages be taught'*” he asked. ‘ Foreign lan guages are taught m the sixth grade in Turkey and the fourth in Germany So why not the third or even the second? The sooner the better,'* Prof ‘ Tyree, of the UNC Chem ! istry Department, spoke on Scien ce in Elementary Schools.' He began his t-alk by saying that there is a need to define science in society "Technology is dependent ■on science and society is dependent .lon technology.” he, said, j I look oil scicgcc tn this Way: I a:n able, as a scientist, to tin cover wiiat 1 construe to be the beauties oi nature—uncovering j minute details about the things we are and what we come in con tact with every day,” Prof. Ty ree said. ”11 you wish to teach anything of science in elementary school, you are probably already teaching what 1 would, consider adequate " Speaking specifically of science in the elementary schools he said “Don't teach a whole lot more science than is already being taught The science that-is taught, 1 would hate to see sugar-coat ed? ’* He stressed the teaching of seif discipline "Teach the students how to tackle the jobs which are dis tasteful to them.” He said that a more general education in the field ol science would help people be come better citizens, as well as future scientists. Dr David R. Hawkins, chairman oi the Estes Hills PTA. spoke good library is the cornerstone ol a good school,” he said. ‘‘We want ' a re; d good, planned library, ra ther than a 'stop-gap affair.' " Dr. Hawkins said the school's Executive Board has discussed the j library and has instructed the lib j rarian to "set her sights high.” jNe said the library, at present, is | tar short of its needs, breifly on the school’s library. "A Ristol Is Stolen From Car’s Trunk F E. Dickerson, a University | student, has reported to the Cha pel Hill Police Department that his Coll 22 pistol had been taken from the trunk of his car Investi gating officer Charlie Edmonds said that Mr. Dickerson told him the following story: He (Dickerson) had advertised on the bulletin board that he had, a pistol for sale. A student com municated with him that he want ed to see the pistol so Mr Dick erson last Friday took the stinkpot to the Bell Tower parking lot where his ear with the pistol was kept 'The student decided not to buy the pistol so it was replaced in the trunk of the car. The trunk 1 1 was locked. The next day Mr Dickerson found that his ear had I been entered through, the car’s i back seat and the pistol had been r taken. i I Breaks Nose In Traffic Accident James Taylor, University stu dent! was charged with reckless ; driving last Friday night when I the ear he was driving turned . over on the Durham Road near Dr Vine's animal hospital. Howard Pendergraph ol the Chapel Hill Police Department investigated the , case. Mr. Taylor* was driving an Opel , ear belonging to Paul Weeks when l the accident happened. Clarence ! McFarland, the wrecker service man for Stancell Motor Company who pulled in the car, said the ear was completely demolished. , Mr. Taylor was admitted to the , University's Infirmary and was | treated for a broken nose.
