Looking At The Campus
By JOE HARDEGREE
BASKETBALL:
To begin with, there are several things that I would
like to say. One: I like to watch basketball. I enjoy
watching good liasketball. Two: I have nothing against
any past or present member of the ACC basketball team.
There are several members of the team who are verj’ good
friends of mine. Three: 1 have the highe.st regard for all
of the men and women connected with the athletic pro
gram at ACC. Four: I think that the boys who play ba.s-
ketball deserve ever>’ cent of scholarship money that they
receive.
What I would like to dLscu.ss is what seems to be an
inequality in the way that student scholarships are handed
out. It is possible, if you can play basketball well enough
to make the first team, to receive a ^'UIX scholarship at
Atlantic Christian College. In addition to this, a number
of boys receive a half or partial scholarship.
But, there are no full scholarships available for any
one other than the athletes. If you are a brilliant English
major or History major or prospective teacher, the most
you can expect is $25.00 per semester in scholarship aid.
Of course, you have to play in the band or graduate at the
top of your high school class to receive even that. And, in
Atlantic CHRISTIAN College, those training for the min
istry receive onlv $50.00 per semester.
It seems a shame that the collge will (as an institution
of HIGHER LI-^ARNING) reward only those with physical
assets and not those who are able to think and are willing
to study.
Of course, the answer that is offered at this point is
that athletic scholarships are paid for by men in town in
terested in basketball and are not paid for by the college.
But, I ask this question; Should the college accept scholar
ship money from people who apparently do not understand
what a college is set up for? If those who offer money for
basketball scholarships were truly interested in the school
as a whole, they would see that ACC has something more
to offer than just a place for their basketball team to ope
rate.
Another argument pre.sented by the basketball back
ers Ls that a good team gives the school publicity. And
they are right. But, four or five full academic scholarships
would also give the school good publicity. If the men who
give athletic scholarships were truly interested in publiciz
ing ACC, they would be just as interested in offering aca
demic scholarships as athletic.
As I said above, I enjoy watching a good basketball
team. I am not naive enough to think that a good basket
ball team is going to come without scholarships. I also
realize that there is a claim that basketball helps to further
"school spirit.” But is ACC a place where athletics should
be the prime concern of the scholarship givers. Does
“school spirit” have to be bought at the price of athletic
scholarships. My answer is an emphatic No!!!
Meditation
I Bj Tirnr BROWMNG
Time m«rclie» on, »ud to do
we. It has been laid th»t we either
progress or slide bacicwards, for
we never are standing still. T^at
Is true, for time is always moving
us into the future, which is the
most important aspect of human
life. Yet that unknown future is
Just ahead of us. Here we become
wealc in our motives of living. A
believer or an atheist is influenced
by the uncertainty of the future.
All people wonder what the future
will be. All people seek tomorrows,
all people ^an for tomorrows, ^
people experience fear and anxie
ty of tomorrows. But we cannot
say that all people have faith,
trust, and obedience for tomorrows.
So we tend to move forward as
time wills it. The fourth dimension
plays a dominant rede in our lives,
but we use the three demensions
of length, breadth, and width and
let the other take care of itself.
But no matter how skillfully we
live with demensions we must live
for tomorrow. Students must be
aware of all four demensions of
life to conquor the dark wonders
of tomorrow with undaunted faith
and hope that God is constantly the
lamp of our pathway, ’nme mar
ches on, and so do we.

The Question Box
National Fraternities?
By ART BISHOP
In the last few weeks there has been quitr- a lively
discussion on our campus concerning national fratemitlM.
Many questions have been raised by these discu.ssions. To
help answer some of the.se questions, this writer has taiiej
a survey of four men from each of the four local frater
nities. The following remarks are their replies tn t’ne ques
tion: “Are you in favor of national fraternities coming to
our college?”
Carl Weaver—“Yes, if they are not too expen.sive.”
Ray Taylor—“No, since they would tend to break down
the close-knit family association that is present on thk
campus.” ^ *
Joe Harrisi—“Yes, the many benefits of a national ft»-
terni^y are well worth the cost involved.”
Max Barber—“Yes, a good sign of progress.”
Jim Matthews—“Yes, the school is growing and the fra
ternities should grow too.”
Bill Britt—“No, the college is not ready for nation»l
fratemitiesf yet.”
Wilbur Heath—“No, because they are too expensive.”
Bill Merritt—“No, since the expense would eliminate
many fraternity members.”
Steve Ginn—“Yea, if fraternity members want them.”
Chuck Hester—“No, national fraternities would lessen
the cooperative spirit thatJ^exists between alumni and ac
tive members.”
George Willoughby—“No, national fraternities would
lessen the cooperative spirit that exists between aluinti
and active members.”
Ed Ward—“Yes, the benefits of national fraternities
are greater than local fraternities.”
John Browning—“Yes, because local fraternities are
limited as a functioning organization.”
Leslie Wilkins—“No, the campus is not ready to receive
them yet.”
David Blackwood—“Yes, the college is growing .“io fajt
that national fraternities are needed to give the college
a more functional program.”
Littlejohn Faulkner—“Yes, because the fraternity mem
ber has a larger association with more colleges in and out
side the state.”
