ACC Fiscal Record
To Diligent Work
By ANN JENKINwS ,
A slightly graying man with a
sense of humor that has grown with
his incrua.sed dealings with stu-,
dents, has guided the fiscal destiny '
of Atlantic Christian CoUoi'e with
outstanding ('fficiency during the'
last 10 years.
A tribute to the work accomplish
ed on the campus of Atlantic Chris-;
tian College by Milton L. Adams
was mad(; by the board of trustees
of the college last week when it
named him treasurer of the insti
tution, !
When Mr. Adams returned to his
Alma Mater in 1949, he came to 1
guide the business area of the col
lege administration as Business i
manager and to oversee a budget
that amounted to about $200,000. '
Today Mr. Adams is still directing I
the business of the college, but it'
has bocome quite a bit more com-1
plex and the budget for next year
will amount to more than $756,-
000.
One other college administrator
said: "Mr. Adams has made an
outstanding contribution to the pro
gram of this college. Its fiscal poli
cies are outstanding because of
him. He is a real friend to stu
dents and faculty members. We
are fortunate to have him in this
sensitive post.”
Mr. Adams was born in the town
of Bcntonville In Johnston County.
He went to grammar school there.
Then he attended Meadow High
School close by Bentonville. He
graduated from the Newton Grove
High school after his family had
moved there.
Continuing his educational career,
Mr. Adams came to Atlantic Chris
tian College in the fall of 1933. Dur
ing his career here, he engaged in
many activities and was a very
outstanding student. He majored in
mathematics with a minor in
science. He obtained a teacher’s
certificate in these fields.
As a senior, Mr. Adams served
as the first president of the Stu-
has come to be known today. He
was elected presdent as an inde
pendent candidate who did not be
long to a Greek Letter Organiza
tion. He graduated from Atlantic
Christian in the spring of 1937.
Upon graduation, he took a job
with Branch Banking and Trust

He was drafted into the army
November, 1941. He served in the
army for more than four and one
half years. The first year, he work
ed in artillery and then in the fi
nance department. He served in
Maryland and Pennsylvania.
Mr. Adams was released from
the army as a captain in July,
1946. He enrolled in summer school
at the University of North Carolina
the same summer. Then he began
working for the State Bank and

Outside his official job, Mr. Ad
ams has taught accounting and
money and baking for four semes-
j ters of night school at ACC. He
; says he enjoyed teaching and would
i like to teach more in the future if
time will permit.
Mr. Adams is known on the cam
pus in connection with different
phases of business activities. He
deals with problems arising in cam-
! pus maintenance, book store, food
I situation, the endowment fund and
i loan fund.
I Probably, Mr. Adams is best
' known to the student body at ACC
for his work with the loan fund.
Many students go to him for help
in solving financial problems in or
der that they might be able to con
tinue their educational careers. It
is his responsibility to weigh the
situation and meet it according to
its merits.
Mr. Adams says that his favorite
aspect of the work is being able
to work with the students. An stu
dent who has ever had an oppor
tunity to work with him can say
he is sincerely interested in helping
every student in any way he can.
He will go “all out” to help ob
tain a loan from the college loan
fund or refer the students involved
to some other source. He dislikes
having to follow set rules regard
ing students and tries diligently to
understand each one and his indi
vidual problems.

This being Monday we are again
reminded of John Donne’s “toUing
bell” and of the impossibility of
escap>e from our routine responsi
bilities. Our only complaint is that
the tolling never seems to cease.
With !Mr. Bishop managing the
clapper the sound is heard in
every nook and cranny of the cam
pus—a call to duty, clear and un
deniable.
We have been padding our al
lotted space in this paper with aU
manner of loose material of late—
speculation, fantasy, quiet revolt

and so on. Such a departure from
our primary purpose may not be
Hoyle but it certainly has been
fun” We hope it is forgiveable.
We hope we may continue yet one
more time in the direction of fri
volity.
“Man into space” appears to be
the theme that is packing all the
punch these days. We have been
doing a little research on this topic
and being what we are we have
been quite (distressed by certain
juvenile attitudes connected with
this noble venture. So far as we
can tell, the first rocket deliber-
Listening Room Work Is Planned
A plan for permanent installa
tion of record playing equipment
in the listening room of Hardy
Library at Atlantic Christian was
announced today by Walter Gray,
CoUege Librarian.
Mr. Gray said the installation
will be made in a few weeks and
no
for listening. There wUl be
speakers on the turntables.
The installation wiU allow 12 stu
dents to use the listening room at
one time. The 12 students will be
listening to three different records,
four to each record.
Mr. Gray said the new instaUa-
that it will increase the facilities j tion was made necessary because
available for listening to records ‘
in the library. “The new installa
tion also will be a big improve
ment over anything we have had
in the past,” Mr. Gray said.
Plans call for the installation of
three record turntables in a large
table arrangement in the listening
room. Each record turntable will
have four earphone attachments
of the increased requirements for
listening equipment.
The installation is being done by
Callbie Wood, a Wilson expert in
the field of recording and record
playing equipment.
Funds for the installation were
made available by the Audio-Vis-
ual Department of the
ately aimed at another planet wiU
carry either three ten-gallon cans
of paint of certain specified colors
or one thirty-seven-gallon can of
a particularly offensive shade. The
big question remaining to be ans
wered is, “What color will the big
splash be?”
For us the whole business has
a sort of brown paper taste in
that we feel that it makes jest of
the traditions and nobler aspira
tions of mankind. We think of ear
lier adventurers and settlers and
we seem to remember that one
of the first items that our trav-
lers took with them was books.
No one, so far as we can dis
cover has even suggested that a
package job of the great books of
the world be included in either
a manned or unmanned flight to
another planet — not even a
Mickey Spillane.
We feel that in the planning of
this great venture we have been
handed a professional rebuke. Com
pelled to take this matter up with
our professional association (some
members are still able to read)
we intend to report back on the
action taken at the earliest op
portunity. We know that all our
readers will be waiting with great
expectations if only to hear the
titles of the chosen volumes.
We know of one reader who re
commends that all copies of Para
dise Lost be dispensed to Mars
immediately. Come Sir — they
won’t be able to understand it
