Please Keep Off The Grass
We can remember about a year and a half ago just
how proud we were of our new buildings, our new walks
and our new grass.
Everyone was so j)roud that all things were treated
ging(!rly. Not one student on the Atlantic Christian campus
wiiuld have thought to mark up a wall in the classroom
building, damage the covered walkway or walk across the
gra.'i.H.
Our memoficH, however, are short. We are now doing
some of these things and these installations are not yet
two years old.
Wp have a master plan here at the college for our
landscaping. Many long hours have been spent in improv
ing the grounds in the fir.st phase of the program. Not all
the walks are in. Not all the grass has been planted. Un
fortunately landscai)ing costa a great deal. But there are
enough walks at the present to meet our basic needs. The
gra.'^^s we have is beautiful. Are we using the walks? No,
we are using the gra.ss.
Many students have .started saving those two steps
that can be cut off the trip by walking on the grass. Are
the tw<! .steps that important?
If vvi‘ are to have a beautiful campus, we must help
keej) it that way. Walking across the grass hurts as much
anything.
It vv;is an important thing to us less than two years
ago. Let’s keep it important. Please keep off the grass.

bell, respectively. — Enough of the
chsttGi*
Th-th-th-thth-at’s all folks!
Were You There?
Now that the Atlantic Christian College basketball
team is winning, students will probably turn out in droves
the re.st of the .season to see the games.
N>>w, this is all right for more spectators who have no j
more intere.st than to see a ballgame. But was it right for
us to stay away ju.st because our team was struggling to
make up for its inexperience. Didn’t the players need it
more then than they do now?
School spirit is .something you can’t put your finger
on, but do we really have it? Where were you at the Len
oir Rhyne game, at the Newberry game, at the High Point
game, and at the Western Carolina game? A good school
spirit breeds the desire to help fellow students in all things,
win or lose. Is it good to mi.ss plays, games, tennis matches,
dances and the many other things that we have on campus?
Isn’t it part of a good college education to take part in all
campus events?
The team is winning now and we will all probably
be there. Win or lose, though, we should have been there
all the time.

My Pet Gripe
By JIM BISHOP
It’s Dr. Constantine Now
Thore are more smiles around ; Constantine, after being bled dry,
the Con' tantino household these
days. There are two reasons.
Two weeks ago today a nervous
Mr, Con.stantine placed him.self at
the mercy of the graduate degree
committee at Duke University to
go through the ordeal of oral ex
ams for his doctor's degree. Mr.
emerged from the room as Dr.
Constantine.
That was not the end of a per
fect week, however. The next day
little Andrew arrived at the Caro
lina General Hospital. For Dr.
Constantine and the Constantine
?irls this was like receiving a Ca-
' dillac after putting in an order
I for a Ford.
Mrs. Constantine is doing nice
ly and little Andrew is running
the household. Meanwhile, Dr.
j Constantine is catching up on the
I housework, the office work, and
^ Uie yard work that he missed dur-
i ing the long hard months that he
was preparing for the doctorate in
education.
Congratulations, Dr. Constantine!
ACC CHORUS
DR. G. A. CONSTANTINE
(Continued From Page One)
The 50-member chorus will be
: under the direction of Mr. James
V. Cobb. The tour is being ar
ranged by James E. Fulghum, Di-
i rector of Special Activities.
In addition to the church ap
pearances, the chorus also will ap
pear at several high schools and
on at least two television pro-
grams. More details about these
' will be announced later, it was
pointed out.
Dear Jim:
I read in the recent issue of
the Collegiate that there is to be
a raise in our tuition next semes
ter. I would like to know if the
administration office of Atlantic
Christian thinks that the students
are made of money? After this
raise, my personal advice to all
high school students will be to at
tend N. C. State, the University
of North Carolina or even maybe
East Carolina, for I believe it to
be much cheaper for a person to
attend any one of these o&er col
leges.
Another thing, we who live in
Harper Hall are getting a raw deal.
Why Is it that 75 percent of the
time when we girls get ready to
bathe, wash our hair or have any
necessity for hot water, there is
none? I have tried to wash my
hair twice this past week and each
time there is no hot water. It
looks like we are going to have
to pay a hot water bUl for the con
venience of hot water.
I wonder if the administration
has thought I of putting pay toilets
m the dorms, for both boys and
girls, to help raise some money?
Disgusted
You are correct; there will be a
$1.50 per hour raise in tuiUon,
begiBning next semester. The ad
ministration informed me that in
the past it has always been cheap
er to attend East Carolina, a state
supported college, and it still is
cheaper per year than ACC for
state students, but more expensive
for out-of-the-state students. Ac-
ACC is cheaper than N. C. State
for state students and far less ex
pensive for out of the state stu
dents. However, all state-support-
ed schools are expected to increase
their tuitions next faU. If you do
not believe this explanation, I
would advise you to see Mr. James
Fidg'hum, in the Administratioii
Building, and I am sure he will
show you the figia-ed cost of at
tending each of these coUeges as
he has shown them to me.
Mr. McFarlane, Superintendent
of Buildings and Grounds, told me
that the water tank that suj>plies
the girls’ dorm should keep you
gxrls in hot water nearly 24 hours
fi, of the dorm girls
that I know are in hot water 24
hours a day.)
Occasionally you may run «ut
of hot water, he explained, but
75 percent of the time is out of
the question. He suggested that
next time you run out of hot water
you contact Miss Ward. She iil
turn wdl contact him and they
^if J® determine where
an uie hot water is going.
administration of the col-
lege has announced that they know
about install,
mg pay toilets m the dorms, but
they also said that they are al
ways pleased to learn of fuM-
raising ideas.
Dear Jim;
Several of the students arp
dermg why the book store is wait-
we nave tried may tunes, but al-
cording to the coUege catalogs^ ratherbooks'
’ than new books from the
book store. We feel that the date
for the book store’s purchasing of
used books is too late. Perhaps a
bulletin board ccyuld be erected in
the Bohunk for students wishing
to exchange used books.
Since the book store is supposed
to be a non-profit organization we
are wondering why the prices of
books and other supplies are the
same or in some instances high
er than those down town?
The Poor Boys
You are wrong; the book store is
not nonrprofit. There is about a 20
percent mark up on all books and
supplies. Three percent of this
profit goes to pay the state sales
tax and the remainder goes to
help pay the salaries of the stu
dent help working in the book
store. A few years back the new
tables and chairs in the dining
hall were purchased from the pro
fits obtained from book store sales.
Mr. Milton Adams, Business Man
ager of the college, explained ttot
the reason he has been waiting
to buy used books is because
Bames and Noble man will ^
here on Monday, February “
Mr. Adams is not in a i»sition to
purchase your used books tben
possibly Bames and Noble will bW
them. This would give the students
two chances, at the same time,
to sell their used books. Mr.
ams said that in the future ne
will try to get Bames and N<wle
here on the second or third oay
of each semester to buy boo^
earlier, he will buy what usea
books he needs on the third day
of the semester to help out
students. As for the exchange
board in the l^hunk, it soiuios
like a good idea. Why donH yo“
contadt the Board of Governors w
the Bohunk and see what can •>*
arranged?
