To Be Finished
During Next Term
The new men’s dormitory of
Atlantic Christian College, fea
turing modern conveniences de
signed to make dormitory life
more pleasant for the residents,
is nearing completion.
As yot the date of occupancy
for the new dormitory is indefi
nite according to a statement by
Millon L. Adams, ACC Business
Man;^cfr. The architect who de

last report that the construction
1g behind schedule and will be
ready for occupancy in about 45 .
days.
The last report of the United
States Government field inspec
tor. said that the work is some
30 days behind schedule.
Date Is Indefinite
Mr. Adams said that the date j
on which the dorm will be avail-;
able is indefinite at the present
time. He said that in the next
couple of weeks a more definite
statement can be made regard
ing the opening date.
The new dormitory features
many fashionable conveniences,
which from their description will
probably make residence in the
new dorm much more pleasarit
than resident men have had in
the past few years.
To House 144 Men
The building is designed to
house 144 men. Rooms in the
dorm are in suites of four, with
two men occupying each room.
Each suite of rooms has a cen
tral bath, and each room has an
outside entrance. In each suite
of rooms, two rooms open toward
the back of the building and two
open toward the front.
Most of the furnishings for the
rooms are built-in. Among the
permanent furnishings in each
room are two desks, two beds,
two dressers, and two wardrobes.
Modem Furnlshinsrs
The desks feature formica tops
with a natural grain finish. The
wardrobes are finished in formi
ca. Two chairs are to be placed
in each room.
The chairs are fiberglass, and
are of red and yellow color
scheme.
Adding to the comforts of the
dorm are innerspring mattresses
which are to be placed on each
bed.
The downstairs of the dorm is
to be of quite elaborate, and, at
the same time, functional nature.
An open corridor runs through
the center of the building, with
openings on Deans street and the
area behind the structure.
Large Lounge
On one side of the corridor
there is a lounge with furnish
ings to provide seating for 46
people. There are to be four card
tables with four chairs at each.
Thornet Industries of Statesville,
is manufacturer of the furnish
ings for the lounge.
The lounge is decorated in a
variety of colors.
Immediately across the open cor
ridor from the lounge is the house
mother’s quarters.
Also featured in the new resi
dence haU is an intercommunica
tion system between the lobby and
the suites. A student may be call
ed to the lobby over the intercom
system to answer telephone calls
and to bo notified when visitors
come to the dorm.
Telephones Possible
Mr. Adams also said that there
is a possibility of each suite of
rooms having a private telephone
installed. Thi' residents of the
rooms would share the expenses.
Any procedure of this nature will
be negotiated between the resi
dents and the telephone company.
Mr. Adams pointed out that the
new men’s dorm at State College
has suite telephones in it.
Th(;re is also the possibility that
washing machines and dryers will
be installed in the dorm. There
has been some difficulty exper
ienced in Caldwell Hall with the

Goal Of Stair^s Office Is To Build
Strong Student Life Program Here
John W. Stair, member of the
administrative staff of the college,
serves Atlantic Christian College
in a two-fold way by working as
Director of Guidance and Director
of Student Life.
•Mr. Stair pointed out this week
that the work in counseling and
the work as director of student life
overlap in so many ways that
it is hard to define the line dis
tinguishing the two.
In his capacity as Director of
Guidance, Mr. Stair is responsible
for orientation and testing of all
new students. As a follow-up to
this program, the Director of Guid
ance works with the faculty mem
bers in counseling students.
Also under the guidance pro
gram, Mi^ Stair is responsible for
guidance and counseling as it is
done by the deans and house moth
ers of the residence halls.
Records are kept on all the enter
ing students, and the records are
referred to the faculty advisors
in order that they may be able
to counsel more effectively.
The role of Director of Student
life entails responsibility for aU
student activities other than the
acadmeic and athletic.
Any organized group which holds
activities on the campus comes
under the office of the Director
of Student life.
Working under the office of
Student life are the deans of the
college and the house mothers and
the student health personnel.
Any activity of any group on the
campus should receive the direct
or indirect sanction of the office
of student life. The director is re-
sponsoble for activities of fraterni-
washers and dryers, and it is not come first served basis.
definite whether they will be in
stalled, it was pointed out.
However, a place has been pro
vided for the machines.
The difficulty in Caldwell Hall
has been with users overloading
the machines and with someone
stealing money from them, it has
been reported.
Heat for the dormitory will be
provided from the main heating
plant of the college, as will hot
water. The hot water wiU be con
verted from steam in a converter
on the first floor of the dorm.
Have First Choice
John A. Stair, Director of Stu
dent Life, reports that the residents
of Caldwell Hall have first choice
of rooms in the dorm. After Cald
well residents reserve their rooms,
reservations wiU be made avail
able to students living in town.
These reservations are on a first

tions Mr. Stair reported.
Rent in the new dormitory will
be $85 per semester. When the
dorm is occupied during the sec
ond semester, the rent wiU be ad
justed for the rest of the term.
Mrs. Essie Davis, house mother
of Caldwell Hall, will be house
mother for the new dorm.
When the new dorm is occupied,
Caldwell will be closed for re
novation. At the beginning of the
1960 fall semester, women will be
moved into Caldwell, and Roun

announced.

The director has the responsibil
ity of keeping aware of any plan
ned activities and determining
whether they are of the type that
the coUege permits.
All social activities and group
activities of the organizations on
the campus must receive approval
from the Director of Student Life
before they are placed on the cal
endar of the Dean of the college.
“We are hoping in time to build
a strong student life service as
a part of the eductational program
of the college,” Mr. Stair said
in summing up the goals of his of
fice.
Police Seeking
Sign Sleelers
By RALPH MESSICK
Collegiate Co-Editor
Business establishments in the
city of Wilson have reported to
Atlantic Christian College that stu
dents are suspected of stealing
their property. Dr. Arthur D. Wen
ger, President of the college, an
nounced today.
The property concerned is park
ing signs used by the establish
ments for business purposes. These
signs have been stolen in the vic
inity of Atlantic Christian College,
police and local businessmen claim.
Edward Page, Funeral Director
for the TTiomas-Yelverton Funeral
Home, said that two reserve park
ing signs belonging to the funeral
home were stolen from in front
of the First Baptist Church here
in Wilson.
One of these signs was returned
by a studfent of ACC who found it
on the ACC campus; the other is
still missing. Mr. Page said that
the missing sign cost from 12 to
14 dollars and the funeral home
would like to recover it.
Members of the Wilson Police
Department said that they could
not make any direct accusations
that ACC students were the ones
guity of the violations of law. They
said, however, that the signs had
disappeared from the vicinity of
the college, and that they would be
working to catch the thieves.
The police also said that any
one caught ■ stealing or marring
public property would be prosecut
ed to the full limit of the law.
Near Record Average
Jerry Fritz and Dick Rnox,
ACC’s two leading basketball scor
ers, are running only slightly be
hind ^he record scoring average
for one season.
The best scoring average for one
season is held by Kim Buchanan
with 18.8, complied in 1956-57.
Fritz is hitting at an 18.2 clip,
and Knox is hitting at an average
rate of 18.1 per contest.
Show Of Watercolors, Serigraphs
On Display In College Gallery
A special show of watercolors
and serigraphs is now on display
in the art gaUery located in the
lobby of the Classroom BuUding
here at Atlantic Christian College.
Provided by the Ford Motor
Company from its extensive col
lection of art, the show will be on
display through the month of Jan
uary, Russell W. Arnold, Chairman
of the Department of Art at ACC,
announced today.
The show features 13 works by
John Russell Clift, Charles Harper
and Harvey Pell.
“The quality of this work is
high and runs from realism to the
semi-abstract in style,” Mr. Arnold
said in discussing the show.
The subject of most of the paint
ings is nature. One series of seri
graphs is based on native Mexican
scenery. ~
Serigraph is an unusual medium
for this part of the country. The
serigraph is, in reality, a picture
executed through a silk screen or
stencil process with printer’s ink,
or printer’s paint, and may be
turned out in great numbers, as a
result of which the artist can
charge less per sale.
