What It Was Was Moving Day
By WALTKR GRAY
College Librarian
No so<>ncr had the proverbial
smok(- of battle ckan^d than a
nt-w on:ilriu;;ht was underway with
all the battli.-mcnt: manned by the
■stah'/iirt Hardians. On Monday
inorninx tudent-s, faculty and some
.staff members were alarmed to
note that almf>st overnight the old
hang-out of Bohunk refugees, pseu-
do-scholars, orbiting love - birds
and chattering chipmunks had been
given a crippling — aye, devastat
ing blow by the Hardy rear-guard.
All that remained of the cozy
nooks and enchanting bowers were
a few shelves, some dangling cob
webs, one blue sandal (size 7)
and an empty lip - stick holder.
The action had obviously been de
fensive — a retreat to a .•nore con
centrated and defensible position.
The removal of the r* r:erve books
I with few fatalities) to a supervis-
able position in the n.ference room
didn’t look too good from any point
:if vifw and particularly to some
of thoie whose duties would be
drastically affi-^tcd by the new po
sition. There were groans and la
mentations but the natural apathy
of our constituents has help^ to
keep the criticism from swelling
into a wave of sympathy for the
side of the enemy.
As has been noted, the new posi
tion is purely experimental and it
may eventually be indicated that
it will become necessary to enlist
forces for the recapture of the ori
ginal outfHDst. However, coopera
tion in the upper echelon has been
established and general agreement
has been reached in the matter
of continuing the experiment for a
limited time. It is hoped now that
all neutrals, four-F’s and consci
entious objectors will lend support
to the present program as is’ be
fitting those who have little to lose
or gain on either side. We learn;
from our scouts that the former.
f)osition will be set up as a .
“quiet study” area by the ene-1
my — a sort of a Pentagon where i
new strategy may be mapped and
further plans for the capture of the ■
academic citadel may be formulat-1
ed. ;
Considerable work remains to be '
done — barriers must be stiffened
and tele - communications re-
sfricted; carefully laid pitfalls
must be constructed. All are pitch
ing in with a renewed fervor and |
if victory is not yet in sight there J
still remains hope that the citadel
wiU survive. Down with the revolu-
tionaires!
Looking Glass
Dear Jim,
The unexpected announcement
that no graduating seniors would
be exempt from final examina
tions has taken us January grad
uates by surprise. We do not ob
ject to the move in itself but that
it came only a few days before
exams.
Such an announcement would
better be made at least a semester
in advance. This short notice is
decidedly abrupt and not at aU in
accord with Atlantic Christian Col
lege’s usual fairness. We feel sure
that the faculty was not aware
how many students this decision
would inconvenience and we feel
that they wiU want to do some
thing about the situation.
January Graduates
I, myself, being: a senior with
tongue in cheek could not agree
with you more. Of course we all
agree that this is a good academic
move and will bring to a screech-
ing halt any loafing being done
during the last two weeks of their
college careers by students expect
ing to graduate.
My only regret and I believe the
only regret of the entire senior
class is that this new policy is be
ing put into effect at this time.
As one senior put it earlier today
the Class of 1959 will be known in
the future as the “Persecuted
Class.” First off at the beginning
of the semester, seniors were no
longer exempt from assemblies
and chapels and *now no longer
exempt from final examinations.
Pity the poor senior, next thing
you know they will be asking us
to carry books and pencils to
class.
If you have a gripe, send it to;

Manners Help To Make Fashion Executive Board Discusses
Tickets And Dead Week
By GWEN WESCOTT
All the gala holiday happenings
are over and the big occasions for
which dressing up was required
are past for a while; to many, it
may appear that fashions are in
a slump. But really fashionable
people are not completely depend-
i;nt on cosmetics and fine trap
pings! Beauty is more than skin
deep and attractiveness is grace
fulness and graciou.sness. In a few
words, fashion is also manners!
How?
You can make life so much morepicking the teeth; scratching or
pleasant for others and charm
them — by your walk, the gait,
the way you yield on the walk
ways — by your speech, the tone
of the voice, your choice of words—
by your smile, the quick, warm,
generous smile directed to every
one.
On the other hand one can of
fend others by bad manners and
label himself ill - bred. For ex

TV Program Scheduled Today
By Social Science Department
Tlie Department of Social Science
at ACC will present a special pro
gram on television this afternoon.
The program will be telecast by
Television Station WITN, Channel
Seven, at 1:30 p.m.
The program is one of a regular
series being presented by ACC
groups this year. The show is seen
as a part of the “Hospitality
House,” series on WITN.
M»xierator for today’s show will
be R. Parker Wilson, a member
of the college faculty in the De
partment of Social Science.
Students appearing on the pro
gram will be Kenneth Brinson,
Miss Louise Wells, Everette Bry
ant, and Miss Beverly Edwards.
The program will feature a pan
el discussion. The subject will be:
"Is It Wrong For A Mother To
Work Outside The Home?”
The program was arranged by
Dr. Daniel M. McFarland, Chair
man of the Department of Social
Science at ACC, in cooperation
with the Department of Publicity
and Special Activities at the col
lege.
Leaving at 10:30 o’clock this
morning, the group will arrive at
the television station at noon to
prepare for the program. The
group will return to the campus
this afternoon.
picking at oneself in public; dis
playing dirty hands with broken
dirty nails are breaches of eti
quette, poor manners, unfashion
able.
On the same subject little com
mon courtesies which are social
graces stem from common sense
and decency. Removing gloves
when eating — pure common
sense; gentleman’s re.*noving hat
when entering buildings or home,
how gracious; getleman’s tipping
hat in salutation to ladies, an old
custom, but very polite; brushing i
shoes and feet well before enter
ing a home, cleanliness that makes
manners and fashions; knocking
on closed doors before entering,
politeness and just common sense;
holding doors open for others, po
liteness and-safety; gentleman’s
opening car doors and walking on
the street side of his female com
panion and holding wraps for la
dies; a hostess’ hanging the wraps
of visitors; everyone ’ s keeping
shoes polished, wearing clean cloth
ing, being well groomed and
dressed to suit the occasion.
When a thought is given to the
logic of beauty, grooming and man
ners, the realization is that com
mon sense and good taste combine
in manners and fashions. Clothes
do not make the person, but how
the clothes are worn reveals the
personality. Let 1959 be the year
of manners and fashion.

One Of New York’s Finest To Speak
Redmond O’Hanlon, the New
York City policeman who was the
first big prize winner on the tele
vision program “The $64,000 Ques
tion.” will come to Atlantic Chris
tian College for an appearance in
Howard Chapel on Thursday night,
January 22. at 7:30 p.m.
Plans for Mr. O’Hanlon’s ap
pearance were announced today by
Darrell Harbaum, Chairman of the
Concert and Assembly Committee
at ACC.
Mr. O’Hanlon is acknowledged
to be today’s leading expert on the
subject of Shakespeare’s word
play. His original research on the
puns of Shakesp>oare is well known
to scholars in the field and long
before his television appearances,
he had acquired a reputation as
a Shakespearean scholar.
Originally planning to become a
teacher, Mr. O’Hanlon majored in
Enghsh Literature at Drew Uni
versity. It was there that his in
terest in Shake.sf)eare’s puns was
aroused. In class one day he asked
Professor Earl Aldrich a question
about the line in “Anthony And
Cleopatra” that reads “In nature’s
infinite book of secrecy, a little I
can read.” Mr. O’Hanlon asked
“Can Shakespeare mean ‘eye’ as
well as ‘I’ here?" The professor
replied, “Why don’t you try to find
out?”
That was 16 years ago and Mr.
O’Hanlon, who admits to being an
incurable punster himself, has nev
er stopped trying to find out. Since
then, he has hunted out more than
3,500 puns in Shakespeare’s total
output, and has catalogued them
all.
After his graduation from Drew.
Mr. O’Hanlon spent a year teach
ing EJnglish and History at a school
for boys. He then returned to
Fordham University to work for
his master’s degree, but the war
interrupted.
Mr. O’Hanlon worked with the
American Red Cross during the
war as a field director and with
combat troops in the South Pa
cific. He had by then completed all
work for the degree except his
thesis whose subject — naturally—
was the word play of Shakespeare.
Carrying it with him through army
maneuvers in four states, he com
pleted it in the Pacific and received
his degree in absentia.
Following the war, Mr. O’Han
lon joined the New York City Po
lice Department, serving first with
the Juvenile Aid Bureau. After tak
ing a year’s leave of absence to
serve as Athletic Director for the
Catholic Youth Organization, he re
turned to the police force and
worked in New York’s Chinatown
as the civil defense precinct co
ordinator. Hd is now on the editor
ial staff of the police magazine,
“Spring 3100.”
Mr. O’Hanlon’s “Dictionary of
Shakespearean Word Play” is be
lieved to be the most comprehen
sive work done on the subject to
date. “The last work done on
Shakespeare’s puns,” Mr. O’Han
lon reports, “was a German publi
cation in 1895 and it was not de
finitive.” He has also devised a
“Short Cut Guide to Sheakespeare”
to be used by teachers and re
searchers, and in libraries.
As a result of his appearances
on “The $64,000 Question”, Mr. O’
Hanlon has earned the gratitutde
of policemen all over the country
for helping to refute the persistent
legend of the “dumb cop”. He is
also credited with being a big fac
tor in the current intensified ip-
terest in Shakespeare and the sell
out crowds at Shakespearean fes
tivals and productions throughout
the country.
For, as Mr. O’Hanlon says
“There’s a lot of fun in Shakes
peare!”

The letter was from Arthur B.
Williams, Purser and Business
Manager of High Point College,
and was addressed to the Athletic
Director of Atlantic Christian Col
lege. In the letter it was stated
that the necessary identification
may be an athletic card, regis
tration card, or other such posi
tive proof of student status.
The Executive Board then held
a discussion of “dead week.” Dur
ing the semester which closes to
day, dead week was postponed in
definitely. However, it was the
consensus of the group that in
the future every effort should be
made to comply with regulations
regarding dead week. This period
is one designed to give students
a chance to prepare for mid-sem-
ester exams and catch up on their
academic work. The numerous
activities on the ACC campus re
quire a great deal of the student’s
time and it is desirable to have
one week prior to mid-semester
exams to devote entirely to study.
During this week, no extra-curri
cular activities are scheduled.
George GRIswold, President of
the Cooperative Association, pre
sided at the meeting.
