New Chapel And Grading^ JUNIORS’STUNT
System To Go Into Effect NIGHT PLANNED
FOR APRIL 15TH
Two new changes of the College system were pre
sented to the stuiU-nts on Friday. .March 8th. One wa.4
pertaining to the new grading system which is going
into effect this semester. The .student.s were aware of
this change and the parents will receive notice of this
change when quarterly reports go out.
The second change came as a blow to some .students,
mainly those students who never go to chapel. It was
a new absence regulation for chapel.
This new system, which is a I
brain child of the faculty, gives
each student six "cuts" (or a se-1
mester. This does not count, how
ever, the excusable abseuces of the ;
students. That is to say if the|
sludt'nt is away on school business i
of any kind, is absent due to ill
ness. or any of the other necessity |
callings, he may be excused from |
such “cuts" by obtaining au ex
cuse from the Dean of Instruction
or the Nurse.
If a student has more than six
un>*x< usable absen<es front chapel,
he Is debarr<‘d from registering
at Atlantic Christian College for
(he .-runiiner seHMion and (or the
fall term of ’47. These unexcuse-
able ' cuts ' will also be recorded
on th»- student's permanent rec
ords in the office.
It was stated that the same
would be placed on the trans-
scriplH of those students transfer-
ing to other schools.
As a result of the afore ment
ioned ruleH throngs of students
swarm into Chapel three limes a
week. Students are seen rushing
to chapel early so as to get neats
on their assigned row.
As for the new grading system
It is something entirely different
from our present system. It is
hoptd by all the students that
Atlantic I parents will realize this
Chrlmian C'olleKf. There he dem- , Ul<e UraBtU- »tei>« for
onHtrated hi« ability a« a spokes- I reformalioii of Ihelr little dar-

With his varied college and
Army experience behind him, Jim

which Atlantic Christian College
can be proud and continue to pre
side over and dire<-t the student
affairs with faithfulness and im
partiality.

Soroities And
Fraternities Wind
Up Initiations
Paddles swung from all direc
tions on (he ('ampus of Atlantic
('hrlstlan ('ollege, March 20. il,
and 22. when two sororities and
three fraternities initiated their
new pledges.
At that time it was not strance
to see a student kneeling at an
other's feel repeating the Greek
alphabet; or students l>elng en-
tertain(«d In the dining hall by
young ladles dressed in evening
clothes, hair rolled-up and no
makeup. The Phi Kappa House
can now say that its Spring clean*
Ing is now behind them (thanks
to the pli'dges). These and other
sights were to be s*Hm last week
for pledges were truly pUylges.
Hat the Greek organisations
wound things up Saturday night
by honoring their new members
at banquets.

Sigma Alpha Fraternity had
seven pledges who went through
the mill of Initiation. They were;
Stuart McKeel. Hoy Hrown, Mill
Harrison, David Hardison. Jinks
llryant, ‘Droopy" Warren and
Jack Cowell. After three hectic
days Sigma Alpha fed their
pledges at Parkers.
Phi Della Gamma Fraternity
had only three phnlges to Initiate
much to the regret of those three.
The three, Glenn Weaver. Ray
mond Smith, and Whitney Weaver
were the honorees at the banquet
at Parkers Saturday night.
There were only two of the
three Sororities that Initialed
pl«*dges this Spring—Phi Sigma

The Hig Eleven
We’ll Always Have The Pony Express
For eleven years eleven people
on our campus have had a unique
job: that of sitting on the Kxec-
utive Hoard. In 1936 our Coopera
tive Association was formed,
whereby campus government was
placed in the hands of a combined
student-faculty group. Of the el^^v-
en that make up the Hoard, seven
are students, and four are faculty
members, two of whom are elected
by the students. The students, all
elected, are the president of the
Cooperative Assocoatlon; vice-
president; secretary; treasurer;
president of the Woman's domi-
tory Council; Men's Kepresen-
talivc; and Town Students’ rep-
rensentatlve. The Hoard, then,
I>emocratically represtnts every
student and Faculty-member on
the campus. We are told that
these four faculty members (note
that they are In the minority)
have to talk fast to hold their
own with seven independently
thinking students.
These eleven people are like the
old Pony Express: Come rain or
shine, they tarry out their duties.
Kvery Monday night for eleven
years has seen that light shining
in a class room where campus
problems are faced. The fact that
the best Radio programs are on
Monday night doesn’t deter them.
The fact that romance may beck
on or test for the next day threat
en means nothing to these souls.
On Monday Night they .MKKT.
