THE COLLEGIATE
MAY 8, 1954.
Gym nasiu m Inipro Vi*nwn In
Schoilulod For This Suntnior
By JIM PEEBLE5
It U • known fact that the Kym on the Atlantic Chrte-
tian ColleKe campua U nothing to write home about. For
y^am now there have been rumor* that the college i* iroing
to jtet a new gym ; but nothin* ha* happened; that ia, untfi
lately. Inrtuaed in the new buildini; proRram for the col-
l*?Ke are plana for a new jfym which ia to seat something
around 3.500 people. ThU will help the college greatly,
especially the athletic program. The new gym and all It*
finery is still some years away, no now the problem is
what to do about the one we have. We will have to make
it safer for people to come and watch the ball game* and
do something about getting more use out of what we have.
It was thought of at one time that it would be a good
idea to knock the side walls out and widen the gym, by
turning the floor around and the gym face I-ee Street.
This would give more room in the gym and more space
for girls' and boys' dressing rooms down stain* which is
badly needed by both.
Another idea was to tear out the walls at both ends
of th*- gym. The two offices up stairs would be moved
down stair*. After tearing the walls out the gym would
ext«nd both way*. The balcony would be tom out and
x-ats would be put all around the floor which would seat
around 2.500 people. The down .itaira dressing rooms, on
both the girls’ and boys’ sides would have been enlarged
«nd rearranged to better fit the needs of the department.
Summer Plan*
Plan* are now underway to remodel the basement of
the gym we have now so that we can have more space and
add to the looks. Mr. Cloyd is expected to start working
on it sometime this summer.
The plan now is to add more space to the girls’ side so
that they will have more dressing facilities and space to
•tore equipment. New shower stalls are needed, and a
way to keep the place cleaner is trying to be worked out.
On the boys’ side a new arrangement of the space
they have is going to be made. The visiting teams’ dress
ing room is going to be changed in order to add more light
and neater facilities. The equipment room is going to be
remodeled. New cabinets are going to be added and better
facilities to put medical supplies and other such equipment.
Separate space ia going to be worked out for boys dressing
for physical education. It is hoped that plans can be made
for a nice varsity dressing room. In this it is hoped that
there will be space for individual dressing stalls so the
clothes will have proper places to hang and each person
can keep up with nis own eauipment more easily.
Whether all the plans tnat are made will be carried
through or not will have to be found out this summer, but
anything at all will help, so let’s keep our fingers crossed.

BULLDOGS RIDING HIGH
The Bulldogs are ridine high in the conference. In
the first article written about the team it was mentioned
that they were going to be plenty of trouble in the con
ference, and they have been just that so far.
After winning the season opener 10-5 from Guilford,
they proceeded to romp over the High Point Panthers in a
double header, and then the East Carolina Pirates, to take
over first place in the conference.
Then trouble hit the camp. The hard-hitting Elon
Christians came to town to see who would hold on to first
place for a while. In the first game there was not much
doubt in anyone’s mind about the outcome, as the Chris
tians went on a hitting spree and scored fourteen runs and
shut out the Bulldogs 14-0. The second game proved to
be a bit difference as it became a battle of pitchers, with
Ken Fulghum turning in a brilliant performance on the
mound before losing 1-0. The other pitching gem this
season was turned in by John Marley who downed East
Carolina 3-2. All the boys have been playing excell«nt
performances in the field.
Against Heavy Odds
Eight students from Atlantic Christian College at
tended the Grand National Forensic tournament la^t
month and won several honors. They were competing
against contestants from forty other colleges, including
Penn State, Tulane, New York University, Michigan State,
Duquesne, Southern Methodist, University of Texas, Le
noir Rhyne, University of Pennsylvania, Washington and
Lee, William and Mary, Ohio We.sleyan, Northwestern
University, and others who have done a great deal of work
in speech and debating.
Since the Atlantic Christian students have had no
previous experience in debating, we feel that their
achievement is particularly creditable. None of the four
debaters have ever debated before, either in high school
or college, whereas some of the teams had been recruited
from the ranks of high school winners and continued the
practice all through college.
