erative Association changed its
meeting hour for the spring semes
ter as its first item of business
last Monday evening. During the
next semester, the Executive Board

Sororities Weigh Values
Of National Affiliation
By BETTY ANN THOMAS
The possibility of nationalization
for sororities on the Atlantic
Christian College campus has
been a major issue of discussion
for several months.
The consideration of advantages
against the disadvantages of such
action and the changes that may
result has prompted members to
express their opinions in every
day campus activities as well as
in their particular sorority meet
ings* How much action has been
taken toward the accomplishment
of nationalization?
Phi Sigma Tau sorority, found
ed in 1912 as the first Greek let
ter organization on campus, has
contemplated nationalization since
1958. During that year a commit
tee headed by Miss Sallie Jo Grif
fin began work by corresponding
with various national sororities.
In May of 1958 the sisters were
visited by a representative of a
national sorority. At the end of that
rnonth they received an invitation
to become affiliated with the sor
ority on a national basis, with the
understanding that the North Caro
lina Alumnae Association would
pay the charter fee. Phi Sigma
Tau members voted not to affi
liate for various reasons.
Afterwards, enthusiasm among
mem^bers died down somewhat, and
no action was taken other than
infrequent correspondence. Accord
ing to Miss Zarelda Walston, presi
dent, the sorority plans to begin
work again soon. She adds that
the alumjiae have pledged fuU sup
port to the project.
Miss Walston feels that the ma
jority of the sisters would like to
become nationalized but that fi
nances would pose a major prob
lem.
However, she feels that this un
dertaking would be worth every
effort: “I think nationalization
would be a wonderful thing for the
campus as weU as for the indivi
dual sororities. I beKeve there
would be a more unified feeling
among the Greek families and that
the Interfraternity Council could
operate more effectively.”
Mrs. Miley Johnson, now in her
second year as a sponsor of Phi
Sigma Tau, approves of national
ization provided aU the members
retain their membership and con
tinue to give their support. She
feels that nationalization would be
a mistake if it caused a split to
occur within the group.
Delta Sigma sorority, founded in
1935, has no intentions or plans
toward nationalization at present.
Members are busily engaged in
the process of building up their
miembersMp. The fact that most
of their pledges are business stu
dents seeking one and two - year
degrees compUcates their situation.
Miss Judith Parrish, president,
states that the sorority is not con
sidering nationalization as a near
possibility. However, it is likely
that they wiU begin working to
ward it in the future after their
membership has been increased.
Miss Parrish does not feel that

In his capacity as chairman of
the drive, Mr. McFarlane coordin
ates the county campaign. He has
a chairman working in each school
in Wilson County to conduct the
fund raising campaigns there.
On the Atlantic Christian cam
pus, Mr. McFarlane has received
assistance in conducting the cam
paign, he reports. An ACC sorority
assisted in addressing envelopes
for appeal letters.
The Executive Board of the Co
operative Association is consider
ing the possibility of having a

Closed Weekend
Policy Discussed
At the last meeting of the Wo
men’s Dormitory CouncO. a new
pwlicy concerning closed weekends
was disclosed. Miss Ward, Dean
of Women, announced that there
would be no more closed week
ends for the resident women stu
dents as there have been in the
past. Miss Ward pointed out that
while there was nothing to prevent
girls from going home this week
end, she felt it would benefit them
to remain on campus in view of
the fact that exams would begin
next week.
New dormitory officers for sec
ond semester to replace those who
are graduating wero* elected at
the last house meeting. They are
Miss Emily Waters, dormitory
president; and Miss Ruby Baze-
more, vice president.
According to Miss Ward there
will not be a meeting of the Wo
men’s Dormitory Council next
week because of exams.

ing young people in their senior
year of high school and members
of the Christian Church will be in

Christian service and be challenged
to accept the High Calling as their
life’s work.”
Mr. Sharp also announced the
