Proper Adjustment Will Help
Keep Small Size Atmosphere
The expansion of the size of the
student body and the facilities to
accommodate it at Atlantic Chris
tian College, brings to mind the
question, “what is the purpose of
^ucation?”
Is it to make mental robots ca
pable of conforming to the stand
ards set by fellow robots? Is it
to produce money - making ma
chines who will realize their aim
of being richer than the person
next door?
If this is the purpose of educa
tion, then Atlantic Christian Col
lege has failed miserably in its
purpose!
The purpose of education, how
ever, as recognized on the ACC
campus is to help the individual
student realize and develop his capn
abilities.
Atlantic Christian College has not
allowed itself to become an aca
demic training ground with its only
purpose being preparation for mon
ey - making vocations. This col
lege has rather sought to be an
institution which would develop the
entire personality of the student
in such a way that he wiU become
a vital part of society.
This institution has seen the ne
cessity for social development for
the student, for adjustment to new
ways of thinking, and for adjust
ment to new relationships to his
community as well as academic
development.
There are those who think that
as a coUege grows, this emphasis
upon total development to the in
dividual is lost. TTiis need not be
true.
One of the major factors lead
ing to this well rounded develop
ment is the feeling of being part
of a family. We have a unique
situation here at ACC in that the
members of the student body, the
faculty members and the adminis
trative officials are considered
part of one large family.
The growth of the college need
not destroy this family atmosphere.
The concentrated effort of all the
Science, Math Club
Maps Its Program
A full program of activities of
special interest to science and
mathematics majors has been an
nounced by the officers of the
Science and Mathematics club un
der the direction of Dr. J. P. Tyn
dall, Chairman of the department
of Science and Mathematics.
The club will meet regularly on
the day set aside for advisors’
meetings. The programs wiU be
presented to make the meeting
period of interest and value to the
students, Dr. Tyndall said.
The first meeting is scheduled
for the October advisors’ meeting,
the specific date to be announced
later. At that time a representative
of Dupont de Nemours Corrupany
of Kinston wUl address the group.
The speaker, to be announced la
ter, wiU present a discussion of the
opportunities for college graduates
in industrial chemistry.
Officers for the 1959-60 academic
year are William Powell, presi
dent: Miss Louise Wells, vice -
president; and Miss Zarelda Wals
ton, secretary.
Dr. Tyndall expressed the hope
that the programs and activities
of the Science and Mathematics
club will become a vital part of
the education of the students con
cerned and that the activities wiU
contribute to a useful and plea
sant year.
Alpha Sigma Phi Delta Sigma Sets
Completing Work Alumnae Supper
Improvements to the Alpha Sig
ma Phi fraternity house will be
completed this week end. “Thanks
to the efforts of Marshall Parvin,
our house manager, the house will
be ready for inspection on Mon
day, October 5.” said Dick Taylor,
president of the fraternity.
James Adams, director of intra
mural activities for Alpha Sigma
Phi, announced Monday night that
the fraternity is participating in
clock golf which started on Wed
nesday.
All students are invited to visit
the fraternity house to see the
changes that have been made.
Miss Peggy Pittman will be in
charge of contacting the sisters
and carrying out ideas for an
alumnae supper, which was plan
ned at the regular Monday meet
ing of Delta Sigma sorority in
Harper Hall.
The meeting was opened with a
devotional given by Miss Pittman
and presided over by President
Judy Parrish.
Plans for rush week were re
viewed and homecoming plans for
this year were discussed.
Mrs. Millard P. Burt and Miss
Jessie Daniel, sponsors, were pres
ent at the meeting.

members of the family will pre
serve the family atmosphere. Stu
dent, faculty member and adminis
trative offical working together
will make ACC a family of 1,200
rather than the smaller family it
has been in the past.
We realize that there wUl have
to be some adjustment to the
growth of the college, but we also
are confident that our campus com
munity wiU adjust to the increase
in size in such a way that the fam
ily atmosphere will not only be
preserved, but wiU be improved.
If most of the institutions of high
er learning in the nation develop
total emphasis on vocational train
ing rather than emphasis on the
growth of productive citizens, then
society will suffer. However, At
lantic Christian College’s continued
interest in the student as an indi
vidual will provide some of the
leadership that is necessary to pre
serve the way of life that Ameri
cans have sought to develop for
the past 300 years.

At The Library
Don’t Trip On The Threshold,
It Could Be Most Upsetting
By WALTER GRAY
CoUege Librarian
Welcome comrades! Being toge
ther again in a challenging situa
tion, we look forward to a year
of fruitful achievement. As we face
the crisis of higher education to
gether let us put our stooping
shoulders to the wheel and push
with good wUl. Now, everybody
sing —.
In due time those of you who
are new wUl be more formaUy
introduced to the coUege library
and its staff through that insidious
device, the freshman English pa
per. We shall “suffah” together
in this and will come in the end
to know, as experience has too of
ten demonstrated, the joy of work
ing together. Names and faces
wUl be matched (for purposes we
prefer not to enumerate at this
time) and problems wUl be solved
together. Y’aU come — quietly!
We have looked rather frantical
ly for the old friends of yester
year and are now beginning to re
cognize here and there in the
crowd the unpolished face of a ris
ing junior or senior. If we seem
a bit desparate in greeting you it
is only because we realize ever
more poignantly the need we have
for your stablizing and settled in
fluence. You have at last become
our friends, just as nations fac
ing problems together are forced
to aUy themselves in defense of
their common goals. To you we
extend the old familiar greeting—
HELP! Pray, aUow us our uncon
ventional light moment.
But turning to more serious mat
ters, we solicit the serious sup
port of both student body and fa
culty in making this a year in
which the library can grow in a
orderly fashion both materially and
quality-wise. Conditions are crowd
ed and the demands that will be
made on our bookstock and on
other facilities wiU be damaging
unless everyone tries his best to
serve both the Ubrary and his per
sonal interest. This means strict
conformity to rules and regulations
and a clear understanding as to
what purposes are to be served
through using the library. At C.
L. Hardy Library PEOPLE ARE
OUR MOST IMPORTANT PRO
DUCT but orderly progress is also
necessary. Everybody sing —.
