"Auld Kirk" At IL am, pipe
bands will pass in review.
Competition in highland
dancing, piping and a variety
of sports contests begins at
1880 pm. Prizes, medals and
trophies are given by sponsor
ing Scottish Clan organizations
for dancing and piping, and
for such sports as the shotput,
broad Jump, 220-yard dash, and

jungle" Paths
Fifteen miles south Of town
are the Linville Caverns. Also
to the south are Linville Falls
in Linville Gorge. Paths to
the falls and to lookoutS over
the gorge have been slashed
through towering rhododen-
dronS.
Nearby is the resort town of
Blowing Rock, which takes its
name from a promontory over
which warm air constantly
flows upward. Here also is
the famed "Tweetsie," a res
toration Of the early American
narrow gauge railway, taking
passengers over a three-mile
trip.
Horseback riding is available
in the Moses H. Cone Memorial
Park, along marked trails
around lakes and on mountain
slopes.
At Boone, eight miles from
Blowing Rock, the outdoor
drama Horn in the West" is
presented at 8:15 pm. nightly
except Mondays in the 2,400-
seat Daniel Boone Theater,
billed as the highest outdoor
theater in Eastern America"
The American Automobile
Association says the best and
fastest route to Linville is via
Route 20 to Charlottesville,
Va; Routes $50 and $40 across
the Blue Ridge to Route II;
down Route IL to Roanoke, and
the Blue Ridge Parkway from
there to Linville.

u. S. Schools Lag
Behind Russia,
Rickover Says

NEW YORK. oct. 10 tAP).
Vice Admiral LYMAN J. Rick
over said Friday night the Rus
sian high school graduate Is the
educational equivalent Of an
American student with two
years Of college.
Admiral Rickover said Rus
STA is turning out 40 per cent
more scientists and educators
than the United States because
its educational system Is vastly
superior.
Speaking at the annual con-
vention Of the National League
Of Masonic Clubs, Admiral
Rickover attacked the $1,000
education boards In this coun-
try for distributing what he
called propaganda Of the Ma
tional Education Association
that hides weaknesses Of the
American system.
He called for a national edu.
cational standard so that the
performances Of students and
teachers throughout the coun.
try could be judged adequately.
Admiral Rickover said he
first noted a deficiency in
American education when
atomic projects had to be de-
layed for lack Of qualified per.
sonnet.
He received the leagues mer.
itorious award for. 1859.

sociate degree would take about
three years of night classes to
achieve, the BIS. about nine
years.
Countdown College is still
something of an experiment,
but its president says it's here
to stay.
THE enthusiasm shown by
our students and the interest
exhibited by the Air Force and
the contractor companies in
sures the continuation of the
college," says DR.. Keuper.
With additional students
this year, we will be able to
expand our curriculum to pro-
vide for more of the special
educational needs of the area. +"
Brevard is chartered under
Florida laws and is already
gaining recognition from older
and better established institu-
tons around the country. The
Massachusetts, Institute of
Technology. for instance, is one
of the leading scientific schools
that gives credit for courses at
Brevard.
Humble Start
The school has applied for
formal generalization from the
Engineering Council for Pro-
fesSional Development, and
officials are confident they'll
get it.
Brevard has received one
grant, $24, 400 from RCA, and
won't ask for more until it re-
ceives its accreditation. Stu
dents are charged a nominal
$l4 per semester hour of under
graduate work and SIG per
semester hour for graduate
study. Faculty members last
year received a token payment
of IS for undergraduate lessons
of w hours each. and $3.50
for graduate teaching.
Most of the contracting COM
panies in the area have set up
student loan funds to help
their technicians and engineers
go to college.
It's impossible to predict
what status Countdown College
may someday attain, but it's a
safe bet President Keuper will
never forget its humble be-
ginningS.
There was such a shortage of
funds that DR.. Keuper had to
put on a dance to raise the
money to get out the first
catalog.

which they live. Although stu
dents earn money. the program
is not a means to help students
work their way through college.
The money is incidental; the
experience is important.
Here is the way its works:
Usually two students cooperate
to keep a job covered. One
studies while the other works,
Then they change places. Jobs
are filled by a succession of
students. since normal job ten
ure lasts two working periods.
Mems salaries average $57.26
a week, women $45.l8. 1t usu-
ally takes five years to complete
the regular four-year program,
although 20 per cent complete
their studies in four years. The
work-study program has ex-
banded: 100 students are in
Europe or Mexico this fall
under the Antioch Education
Abroad plan. Many are study

study programs are found on
campuses everywhere in the
United States.
Six years ago. a report issued
by the United States Office Of
Education listed IS colleges and
eight technical institutes which
offered cooperative education
programs. They enrolled a.
528 students, employed by A.
$40 firms and Government
agencies.
At present. according to
Christian E. Burckel, publisher
of THE College Blue Book, :"
$4,000 students are enrolled in
the work-study program. They
are found in $500 firms, as well
as many other State and Gov
eminent agencies. The num-
Der of students who seek to
work their way through college
is constantly growing.
The College Blue Book, just
issued, reports that last June
$500 students were awarded
degrees through the work-study
programs.
Ivy League, Too
A study of 80 typical colleges,
made by the North American
Newspaper Alliance, indicates
that the cooperative plan has
gained academic acceptance.
Even Ivy League institutions,
such as Harvard and Brown,
have adopted an earn-while-
you-learn plan. In this case,
the program is limited to men
and women who want to be-
come teachers.
The students engaged in the
work-study program earned be-
tween SIS and 500 million last
year. The total earnings prob
ably will go higher this year,
The students average between
$4,000 and $4,000 annually
while attending college. For ex-
ample, the 975 work-study stu
dents at Georgia Institute of
Technology earned So million
this past year. Three hundred
students at Wilmington (Ohio)
College earned $650,000 during
the same period.
