See INITIATION Page 4
By BOB COLLINS
Knowing that public school teach
ers are the fountainhead of com
munity activity, the Department of
Education and Psychology at At
lantic Christian College, the group
responsible for the training of pros
pective teacheachers, tri^ to do
moere than instill classroom philo
sophy into its students.
The public! s c h o o i teacner
plays an important role in englight-
ening the public. For this reason,
the Department of Education and
Psychology tries to train compe
tent leaders to fill the important
role of public servant.
Concept Is False
Dr. G. A. Constantine, Chairman
of the department, disclosed in an
interview that the familiar concept
that public school teaching is k
missionary endeavor is to a great
degree false. People often feel
that because of low salaries the
public school teacher must “de
vote” his life to the teaching pro-

Co-op By-Laws
To Be Amended
The committee that was appoint
ed to revise the apparent weak
nesses in the constitutional provis
ions concerning elections returned
its report to the Executive Board
of the Atlantic Christian College
Cooperative Association at its regu
lar meeting Monday.
Some weeks ago, the board rea
lized that the classification require
ments for the candidates boa’.'
many weaknesses. A committee
was appointed to revise the re
quirements.
IVIust Be Junior
The constitution states that a
candidate for the office of presi
dent must be a junior at the time
of nomination. This requirement
was changed to read "at least a
junior” to clear the way for those
who have attained senior status but
plan to be students at ACC for
another full year.
In this year’s election, both Ken
Brinson and Bobby Dunn were
classified as seniors at the time of
election.
The new provision also applies
to the office of vice-president.
At Least Sophomore
In changing the requirements for
the offices of secretary and trea
surer, the revisions now state that
the student must be “at least” a
sophomore. Before, the provision
stated that the secretary had to be
a sophomore. Miss Anna Love
lace, this year’s secretary, was a
junior at the time of her election.
In changing the requirements for
the head cheerleader, the commit
tee added the provision that the
person elected must have at least
one year’s experience as a cheer
leader at ACC. Before, there was
no experience clause in the require
ments. The amendments - were
read in the Cooperative Associa
tion meeting Tuesday. They wiU be
voted on by the students next Tues
day.
In further action, the board de
cided to change the usual format
for next week’s Cooperative Asso
ciation meeting in the chapel.
