Day Student Representatives
The Collegiate wishes to commend the special study
committee of the Executive Board that was assigned the
task of studying election procedures on the campus.
A very fine report was submitted by the committee
at the meeting of the P^xecutive Board on April 21. Only
one item on the report met with any opposition and that
was the one concerning absentee ballots.
Unfortunately the report was tabled because of the
opi)osition to the absentee ballot matter thereby delay
ing action on all the proposals contained in the report.
There was one item in the report of maximum im
portance. It was the one concerning Day Student Represen
tation on the lOxecutive Board.
In the past not much care has been given to the nomi
nation of day student representatives. Many times they
have been people who are not really day students, but sin
gle students, from outside the area, living in town while
they attend college.
The report urges that the Day Student Representa
tive in the future be a bonafide one — a student living in
his own home and commuting to school each day, either
from Wilson or the surrounding area.
For a long time Day Students have deserved more
of a voice in campus affairs. They have not been ably rep
resented because too many times their elected representa
tives have approached their jobs with campus living type
thinking. Day students make up half the student body at
Atlantic CJhristian College.
We hope that the proposals will be given further con
sideration by the Executive Board and that this particular
one will ])ass a vote of the cooperative association. Day
.students should be represented by day students.

Pan-Hel Study Needed
National fraternities have come to the Atlantic Chris
tian (\)llege campus and with them has come great change.
'i''he men’s Gi’eek letter groups will have much better or-
gunization and operating procedures now.
Kindred organizations, therefore, must also change
in order to make the most of the improvement.
We suggest that the Pan-Hellenic council immediately
g've consideration to a study committee to find ways and
n leans of changing the operating procedure of that organi-
z.Uion to keep pace with the nationalization of the frater
nities.
. One matter in particular is that of rushing. The rush
ing program needs revision to allow more students a chance
to consider fraternities. Many feel that one week in which
to make a decision as important as joining a fraternity is
not long enough.
The Pan-Hellenic Council should also take measures to
see that all fraternities live up to a common set of campus
standards as well as those required by their national or
ganizations.
These and many other matters should be studied at
once so that the momentum of going national will not be
lost.
What part will local sororities play in the campus
Greek letter family now that the frats are national? Are
the sororities going national? If they are, or even if they
are thinking seriously about it, a strong program on the
part of Pan-Hel will help make such a move constructive
from every standpoint.
Too many times we wait until the horse is out of the
lot before we close the gate. Time is wasting. Study needs
to start immediately.
POINT SYSTEM
(Continued From Page One)
totaling 30 points without special
approval. If a student desires to
hold offices carrying more than a
total of 30 points, he is required
to request permission from the
Executive Board.
Ea<?h office on the campus, of
importance, carries a certain num
ber of points. The highest number
for any single office is 25 points.
The point system was drawn up
by a special committee appointed
by the Executive Board and sev
eral changes were made to im
prove it prior to its adoption Tues
day.

Phi Delta Gamma’s nationali
zation, when it takes place, will
complete the nationalization proj
ect on the ACC campus. Two fra
ternities have already joined na
tionals and another is scheduled
this weekend. That will be Sigma
Alpha Fraternity. This weekend it
will officially become a chapter of
Alpha Sigma Phi.

Pan-Hel Asks Point System Change
By JIM BISHOP
The Pan-Hellenic Council rec(»t-
ly passed a resolution requesting
the Executive Board to alter the
point system as it was presented
to the student body at an election
this week.
Urging that points for presidents
of Greek letter organizations be
dropped from 20 to 15 points and
that Greek letter treasurers be in
creased from three to seven points,
the council requested that the point
system, if adopted by a campus-
wide vote, not go into effect until
September, 1959.
If you need a good Buick in good
condition, Dr. Cutlip has one for
sale.
John Anthony has been elected
president of Phi Delta Gamma
Fraternity and Dick Tyson has
been named the new president of
Delta Sigma Phi. Congratulations
friends. We are sure that you will
both do good jobs next year.
Congratulations also go to Mary
Ellen Rackley, newly elected presi
dent of Omega Chi for next year.
That grass planting detail a few
days ago sure did improve the
looks of the campus. Mr. Me, we
are hoping for some fi«ie grass in
a few days along the new patch.
Ask Gwen Stanley to model the
sack dress she was presented at
the Publications Dinner last week.
It is the latest style. Mr. Fulghum
designed it.
Congratulations go to Dr. Con
stantine. You may not have no
ticed but the Acting has been drop-
ed from in front of “Chairman of
the Department of Education and
Psychology.” A worthy promotion.
Phi Delta Gamma is working
hard on nationalization. President
Carl Weaver has done an outstand
ing job over there this year. An
early initiation program is hoped
for from this corner.
Another sorority on the campus
has requested a house for next
year.
Assembly programs would not be
missed for the remainder of the
semester. They will be good pro
grams with four of them turned
over to awards.
The Exec Board will try to do
a better job of explaining issues
in special student assemblies to be
held in the future. This is good.
Students should be informed. They
want to know.
Mr. Howard committed a John
Cameron Swayze at the Publica
tions Dinner. He got <up to play a
musical instrument and the thing
wouldn’t blow. ENOUGH OF THIS

Through The Looking Glass
By GWEN STANLEY
“Sack” dresses really flourished
on the chorus trip. Seems the style
is easy to pack.
All the big department stores
advertising the chemise dress, long
beads and flapper cloche and
pointed toe shoes. Prints are very
popular in the chemise style.
Mr. Fulghum is now designing
dresses — a special line of “Plan
ters Oil” sack dresses. They
come in neutral, light cocoa brown
and some with print!! Gwen has
an original by Fulghum.
Gals, the newest things in P.J.’s
—The Charleston! That “Charles
ton” style is really something!!
Big earrings are again in the
“Know” for summer.
Heard the Sailor Ball attire met
with approval from Harper Hall
girls! More comfortable way to
dress.
Guess what? Newest thing in
jars is liquid ice for ladies’ com
plexion.
In the high schools visited re-
cently-notice was taken of the gen
eral length of hair-below ears and
softer style.
Spring at ACC brings parties and
dances - and the chance for lad
ies and gentlemen to dress up.
Lavender seems to be a popular
color for cotton dresses here on
campus! The contrasting sashes
add just the right amount of chic
to the cottons.
Crinolines and petticoats are lov-
ely-yet not lovely to look at.
From all reports the Spring
Dance was Lovely!! And the lad
ies were similar to southern belles
with their long pastel gowns.
Only a few more weeks to print
the Spring column of facts, fancy
and fashion. But those summer
tans most of you wiU acquire will
enhance clothing next fall.
My Pet Gripe
By JIM BISHOP
Dear Jim:
The students have had need of
another bulletin board on which
they could place information of stu
dent interest, via announcements
of club meetings, lost and found
books, books to sell or books want-
ed or other information that may
concerti us. As the present situa
tion demands, you must go to the
office of the Dean before anything
may be posted. Sometimes this is
a bother to the parties who wish
to have information posted.
I understand that we are going
to get another one, however, it is
to be placed out of doors where the
elements are going to have a lot
of effect on the participitation of
the students who would normally
raining who will
walk through the rain to read it’
And even at that, the wind could
easUy blow the posted announce-
m^ts away and litter the campus.
The place for the new bulletin
board is not outside on the cravel
but rather in the lobby of the
classroom building where the stu
dents congregate, no matter what
the condition of the weather.

New Books
At The Library
By WALTER GRAY
College Librarian
Because we have digressed so
much lately in order to sermon
ize, and because the hour is late
and because the “CoUegiates” will
be leaving for Salisbury Saturday
and especially impatient, and be
cause we whish them a safe and
happy journey (most especially
since we are going along)—here’s a
list of books. They’re new, they
ought to be good and if I had
studied phonics, I would sit right
down and read them all this very
afternoon. But Johnny and I are a
bit slow.
Naked to mine enemies; the life
of Cardinal Wolsey by Charles Fer
guson. 'This “son of an Iswich but
cher” ruled England 'under Henry
the Eighth, that great big mixed-
up kid. The 'Titans by Andre Mau-
rois moves us from England to
France where we have this out
standing biography of the three
Alexandres Dumas. Adult. My bro
ther’s keeper: James Joyce’s ear
ly years by Stanislaus Joyce pre
sents the background from which
evolved the modern classics A Por
trait of the artist as a young man,
The Dubliners and Ulysses.
We were very fortunate recently
to receive a presentation copy of
Dr. H. H. Cunningham’s Doctors
in gray. “This book is the first to
tell in a comprehensive way the
story of the Confederate medical
service in America’s bloodiest con
flict.” Janet Planner’s Men and
Monuments is about art but par
ticularly about some very exciting
artists: Picasso, Matisse, Braque
and the critic Andre Malra'ux. The
last chapter entiled “The Beauti
ful spoils” is a moving account of
the sack of the European art treas
ures by Adolf Hitler’s government.
The Sandburg- Range is a repre
sentative selection from the entire
work of this outstanding American
writer. There is some new mater
ial (a lot of it is new to us) and
the whole is an exciting propsect
for some rainy day ahead. Source
book on atomic energy, second edi
tion, is sponsored by the Atomic
Energy Commission and is proba
bly the outstanding general guide to
information in this field. We have
just added volume three of Church
ill’s History of the English-speak
ing peoples entitled The Ages of
Revolution. You might like to see
what an Englishman jhas to say
about the American Revolution.
Albert Camus; the invincible sum
mer by Albert Maquet should help
us understand what goes into the
making of a Nobel Prize winning
writer — and what comes out of
one.
