a new era in its 30 year history.
This issue marks the beginning of
a weekly schedule for the paper.
In the future The Collegiate will
be off the press each Friday, ex

ed. This 'group of students and
faculty members pledges itself to
provide the medium of communi

members of the irrtportant issues
at hand.
The staff wants to provide a

those who have ideas. The columns
of this paper will always be open

issue.
We belive that the best interests
of our students, our faculty, our

our campus population is weU in
formed. The Collegiate hop>es to
keep them informed.
We are pleased with the start

is proving most valuable from, the
start.

Their aim is to provide you, the
reader, with objective and informa

From time to time this year,

That is the way progress is made.

In The Looking Glass
Study New Fashion Ideas
By (iWEN STANLEY
Girls are getting better looking
all the time! You’ll agree if you
have kept your eyes open around
the A.C.C. campus this fall.
Most girls have discovered that
a smooth si»itan is most flattering.
As a matter of fact, a smooth tan,
complemontcd by the exciting new
oranni lipsticks or contrasted by
SI jvvy white accessories is guaran
teed to i?et a girl off to a good
start in any co-ed setting.
If w»‘ may judge from the num
ber of bulging trunks carried up
Hiirper Hall steps, ACC lasses have
lots (if clothes — And according
to several faculty members, the
las.sc.s art! keeping those dresses
nicely starched and ironed. Keep
up thf «ood work, girls; remember
KrooininK is as important as fash
ion.!
Fashion-wise, we note that there
i.s a generoas sprinkling of chemi
ses in the wardrobes (they were
even featured in the Talent show
for Freshmen) and that our young
women seem to like the shorter,
knee-longth modes. Then, the other
night, an ACC senior dressing for
a date, tied her hair in a Roaring
Twenties style bow — a cute idea.
Learn to experiment with cos
metic ideas, girls. Choose from the
whole new range of lipstick shades
to find the best for you — or for
that new outfit. Try a new hair
style, too. Did you know the new

Gripes To The Collegiate

Does the new assembly and
chapel set-up bother you? Are the
prices in the dining hall too high
or is the campus parking situa-
titm pevplexing you?
As I walked across the campus
tlh- past four weeks these prob

the center of animati-d discussions.

the students and faculty as sort of

chance, campus citizens, to tell the
entire student body what i.s wronc
and possibly what j'ou believe, to
be a solution.
Even though everyone is trying
to make Atlantic Christian College
the very best, we all know that
there are improvements to be
made. Hence we thought you, the
readers, could help make some of
these improvements.

not the case, he explained. Each
studwit suspended must submit a
new application in order to be
admitted.
Dr. Burt stressed the importance
of the advising system .on the cam
pus to those students having prob
lems academically.
“Every student should see his
adviser regularly,’’ Dr. Burt said.
“Howi'ver, this is not enough for
those in trouble. They should see
their advisers as frequently as pos
sible. That is why the system was
established and students should use
it.”
Dr. Burt expressed the hope that
fewer students would get into aca
demic difficulty this year. “If they
are to stay out of trouble, however,
they must have a conscientious at
titude toward their courses,” he

partment of Religion had requested
that Rev. Eugene Purcell, Direc
tor of A-V Education, be relieved
of those duties so that he could
devote full time to teaching.
Dr. Burt granted the request and
the A-V Department was re-ar-
ranged so that it could be handled
by some other departments and di
visions on the campus. This left
the lounge vacant and made it
possible for it to be set up again

At The Library
New Personnel At Library
By WALTER GRAY
College Librarian
We should be saying “Happy
New Year.” Many new faces,
many old faces re-newed. It is
nice to work in the library —
sometimes.
There have been changes around
the Clarence L. Hardy since most
of you saw us last. Let us in
troduce outselves: Mr. Walter
Gray, Librarian (now going on the
third year — no comments). Miss
Ann ^lomons (our new Assistant
Librarian), Mrs. Irene, Harrell
(Cataloger), and Miss Sally Scud
der (Reserve Room Assistant). We
are most happy to report that Mrs.
Carrie Bridgers is still with us.
The purpose of this column has
been to inform you of new books
added to the library collection. It
has also been used for a number
of other dismal practices — to
inform, to berate, amuse, what
have you? We like it. We hope to
continue as in the past. We hope
yoiu will like it. To the old, the
new, the many, the few we extend
a hearty welcome.
Our function of course is refer
ence, research and study. The Bo-
hunk is still in business.
