By BOB COLLINS
Collegiate Co-Editor
The Executive Board of the At
lantic Christian College Coopera
tive Association and the ACC In
terfraternity Council announced
this week that the band of the
late Tommy Dorsey will play for
an ACC dance to be held at the
Wilson Community Center Novem
ber 12.
“The Executive Board is financing
the dance from the executive fund
of the Cooperative Association bud
get, and the IFC is making the
arrangements for the dance,” Sam
my White, president of the IFC
said this week.
This is the first time a dance
has been held at the community
center. Last year, the Woody Her
man band was on campus to play
for an ACC dance which was held
in the gymnasium.
“The Tommy Dorsey band, cur
rently under the direction of War
ren Covington, was contacted
through its agency in New York
last week, and the contract for
the engagement was signed and
mailed to the agency last Satur
day,” White said.
Bobby Dunn, president of the
Cooperative Association pointed
out that this dance is co-sponsored
by the association and IFC Council
and it is being held for the benefit
of the entire student body.
“We hope that every student
will take advantage of this oppor
tunity to enjoy one of America’s
best dance bands,” Dunn said.
White pointed out that the mem
bers of the IFC will be responsible
for publicity, printing of tickets,
decorations and other necessary
arrangements.
White, in his capacity as IFC
president, made the arrangments
to have the dance at the commun
ity center. The dance wiU be held
on the basketball court. White

Police Officers Start
Crackdown On Violations
Students at Atlantic Christian
College have been in violation of
the law as they have parked
more and more frequently in no
parking zones.
The Wilson Police Department
announced this week that it has
started a crackdown on the vio
lators. A spokesman for the de
partment said officers will begin
tagging every car that is illegally
parked in the vicinity of the col
lege campus.
Ticketing the cars has already
begun. Tuesday morning, a police
officer made a complete survey of
the situatoin and could be seen
writing several tickets to be plac
ed on vehicles that were parked
illegally.
The spokesman for the police de
partment said one vehicle owner at
Atlantic Christian is being sought
for ignoring violation tickets that
had been placed on his car. The
department spokesman said the
vehicle bears a South Carolina li
cense plate and that the depart
ment has contacted the motor ve
hicles department in South Caro
lina for the owner’s name. The
owner will be prosecuted, the de
partment spokesman said.
Atlantic Christian officials have
no jurisdiction over the parking
spaces on the streets surrounding
tiie college. An official of the col
lege said today that the police de
partment had notified the college
that it has started a crackdown.

The proposed budget of the At
lantic Christian College Coopera
tive Association will be presented
to the student body at an assembly
to be held next week. At this time
students will be able to examine
the budget and voice their opin
ion of it. Approval or disapproval
of the budget hinges upon the stu
dents’ vote.
This year the Executive Board
made an exceptional effort to ba
lance the total amount of money
allocated to the various organiza
tions with the sum of money that
the Board had to work with. In
order to accomplish this goal the
committee set up by the Execu
tive Board found it necessary to
cut some of the requests submit
ted to it.
Organizations that had their re
quests cut were the Stage and
Script, the Collegiate, the Assem
bly and Concert Committee, and
the Campus Christian Association.
Stage and Script submitted a
budget for $1585; this was cut to
$1200. The Collegiate submitted a
budget for $2400; it was cut to
$2200. The Assembly and Concert
Committee requested $1825 and
was granted $1450. The Campus
Christian Association requested
$1825 and received $975.
other organizations included in
the budget were granted their re
quests. These are the Pine Knot
which received $5452.82, the Social
Committee which received $500 and
the Bohunk, $1000.
In previous years the budget for
the Bohunk was much lower than
it is for this year. Everett Bry
ant, vice - president of the Co
operative Association and chair
man of the budget committee ex
plained the reason for this increase
in the following manner: “The Ex
ecutive Board felt that activities
in the Boh'unk should be expanded
because it is the central meeting
place on the campus. We also wish
to point out that the Social Com
mittee took a sizable cut in order
that this activity might be increas
ed. We hope that students will
take advantage of the improve
ments being made to the Bohunk
program.”
The budget was figured on the
basis of 975 students, each paying
$14. plus $1 per student to be di
vided among the Tour classes. The
total amount of the Executive
Board’s working capital wa.s $13,-
550. Of this money, $766.18 was
left for the Emergency Fund.
Concerning this money left in
the Emergency Fund Bryant said,
“The Emergency Fund’s main fuc-
tion is to make up for further needs
that the organizations may have
during the year.”
Bryant also made the following
statement: “It was not the wish
of tlie Executive Board of the
Cooperative Association to cut the
organizational budgets merely for
the sake of economizing. But since
our portion of the student activity
fee represented a total smaller
than that of the submitted budgets,
this action was necessary.”
The members of the Elxecutive
Board also announced that this
budget is being presented to the
Cooperative Association with the
recommendation for its adoption.
Greeks Will Issue Bids
To Prospects On Monday
"The Inter Fraternity Council re- bids. Prior to last year bids were
quests aU freshmen and transfer
students to make a special effort
to check their mail boxes on next
Monday,” Sammy White, president
of the IFC, announced today.
This is the day that all fraterni
ty and sorority bids should be re
ceived by the new students.
The receiver of the bid has the
privilege of accepting or rejecting
the Invitation to membership in
the social group. Instructions on
the bid wiU explain to the student
the procedure for response. White
added that the prospective pledge

sent out by the fraternities and so-
rorites with no uniformity in pro
cedure. Last year a uniform bid
program was adopted. In this sys
tem all bids are printed identically.
The only difference is in the col
ors attached. White said that this
system prevents the student from
choosing a fraternity or a sorority
because of the beauty of the bid.
“If during the next week you no
tice that fraternity or sorority
members seem to be ‘snubbing’
you,” White added, “it is because
they are observing the ‘quiet per
iod’.” The IFC rules state, “From
Monday morning until Wednesday
at 5 p.m. quiet days will be observ
ed. This means that each fraternity
and sorority member is pledged on
his honor not to discuss with po

might influence their decision con

$778,575 Revised Budget
Approved By Trustees
A revised budget for the opera
tion of Atlantic Christian College
for the current coUege year total
ing $778,575, was approved by the
institution’s Board of Trustees at
a meeting held this week.
The revised budget showed a
$22,500 increase over the proposed
record budget submitted to the
board last spring for its approval.
Dr. Arthur D. Wenger, ACC Presi
dent, said the budget was revised
upward to take care of an in
crease in students over the number
that was originally planned for
the current semester.
In further action, following a
recommendation from the execu
tive committee, the board voted
to expend an additional $46,600 to
increase faculty salaries three per
cent for the current year, to pur
chase furnishings for the new
men’s dormitory now under con
struction, to replace some kitchen
equipment in the college cafeteria,
to grade and develop land that
will be used for outdoor physical
education facilities at the college,
and to remodel Caldwell HaU, a
dormitory now being used for men
students that will be used next
year for women students.
Later the board approved a rec
ommendation from its executive
committee instructing administra
tive officials at the college to be
gin immediately to formulate a
program of building needs for the
next 10 years. The action instruct
ed the administration of the col
lege to submit the plan to the
board at its next meeting for ac
tion.
This action was taken following
a report from Dr. Wenger in which
he said preliminary study indicates
that the college needs a new wom
en’s dormitory to house about 100
students, a music and art class
room building, a physical educa
tion plant, an auditorium, an ex
pansion of its library facilites, an
and an enlargement of its heating
plant facilities.
In addition to its building needs.
Dr. Wenger told the board mem
bers that $1,000,000 should be add
ed to the college’s endowment
fund. Dr. Wenger said the total
cost of the tentative study needs
would run about $2,700,000.
In other action the board re
elected T. J. Hackney of Wilson,
as its chairman, named A. D.
Shackelford of Wilson, as its vice-
chairman, elected Milton L. Ad
ams, college Business Manager, as
its secretary and treasurer. In ad
dition, three members were elected
to serve with th officers on the
executive committee of the board.
They are Ely Perry, Kinston at
torney, Lawrence Moye, Maury

three are present members of the
board.
