Sen, Goldwater Visits
To Boost Nixon-Lodge
Senator Barry Goldwater, Re- Prior to a Raleigh appearance
publican Senator of Arizona, will j at Memorial Auditorium at 7:30
appear in Wilson on Saturday, Oc
tober 22.
Goldwater, who follows the Har
ry S. Truman visit, comes with
the same purpose in mind; to stir
interest in the presidential cam-
,)paign. Differing with Truman, na
turally, the Arizona Republican
seeks to sell the Nixon - Lodge
j presidential ticket.
The Senator wiH arrive in WU-
I son in mid - afternoon, following
an appearance in Tallahassee,
I Florida, earlier Saturday morning.
BARRY GOLDWATER
Mr. Conservative
p. m., Goldwater will spe^ak in
Wilson at a meeting to be held at
the American Legion Hall, High
way 301, south, at 4 p. m. He
will ibe introduced by Robert Gav
in, Republican candidate for gov
ernor.
The Arizona Senator is the
only Member of Congress today
with a command - pilot rating, he
learned to fly in 1930. He has
flown nine types of jets from
fighters to tankers. A Lieutenant
Colonel at the end of World War
II, he organized the Air National
Guard in Arizona and now holds
a commission as Brigadier Gener
al in the AF Reserve.
Barry Goldwater is a strong
advocate of States rights and de
centralization of big government.
He insists on Government econ
omy. He favors freedom whether
it be in business, labor or Gov
ernment. Author of a book, The
Conscience of A Conservative, he
has spoken out very strongly about
the basic freedom that he favors
and about the threats to freedom
that he sees in big business, big
labor and big government.
Nominated as a candidate for
President at the Republican' Na
tional Convention, he withdrew his
name, and has campaigned widely
for the Nixon - Lodge ticket.
Another rare opportunity is of
fered the students at ACC to hear
an outstanding political figure
speak on important issues of the
day.
Supporters Plan
Mock Election
Yoimg Republicans and young
Democrats are rallying with in
terest to begin campus prepara
tion for the proposed mock pres
idential election.
Under the direction of the Exe
cutive board, the election will
take place after what is anti
cipated to be a real banner
waving, speech making, political
battle between the Nixon-Lodge
forces and the Kennedy-Johnson
supporters on campus.
T. Riley, chairman of the Re
publican committee, said plans
of both campus party commit
tees would be carried out with a
primary purpose in mind, to
create collegiate interest in the
presidential campaign by pro
viding a rich discussion of im
portant issues.
RUey said that his committee
and the Democratic committee,
under the chairmanship of Ken
neth Bryan, woLCd work ener
getically to provide the type of
campus campaign that would
lend dignity to the student body.
iSecojid Phase Program
\Reaches $84,896 Level
Lsst March Atlantic Christian
ICollege marked a milestone in
rits 60th Anniversary Development
iProgram, iwhen a minimum goal
lof $500,000 had been subscribed for
] capital improvemnts.
On March 23, the day following
I completion of the First Phase of
■the program, the College embard-
led upon a Second Phase project to
fraise an additional $250,000 by the
■time the 60th Anniversary is cele-
|brated in the faH of 1962.
Since then $84,896 has been sub-
Iscribed, reports R. Worden Allen
|Jr., Director of Development.
The fund raising program is pres-
y the major project of the De-
|partment of Development.
Dr. Arthur D. Wenger, president,
1 his sipecial assistant. Dr. John
Waters, work as a team with
lAllen to caH on prospective sub-
jscribers.
Funds secured from the Second
JPhase campaign are to be used
continue debt retirement on
jj^ee buildings completed in 1956—
Ithe Classroom, Administration and
IMoye Science buildings. Addition
ally, these funds will allow initia
tion of preliminary planning of a
Fine Arts building—next capital
improvement project on the agen
da.
Regarding the proposed Fine
Arts building, Dr. Wenger said,
“The architect has been instructed
to prepare preliminary draft plans
for considerstion by the Board of
Trustees. These, however, are not
working drawings but rather pre
liminary sketches for study.”
To raise the $250,000 goal by the
faU of 1962, the Development De
partment has concentrated primar
ily on calling upon those with paid
up s<ubscriptions in the First Phase
campaign. .
“The response we have had an
calling on these paid up subscrib
ers has been phenomenal,” com
mented Allen. “Of those we have
called on, about 98 per cent have
responded positively in favc^ of
another subscription for a thx^
year period ending at oiu" 60th
Anniversary,” the Development
Director said.

Prospective Funds
Board Approves
Pine Knot Budget
There will be a 1960-61 Pine Knot.
Action of the Executive Board, meeting in the Disci-
pliana room Monday night, restored all but $12 to budget
requests of the Publications committee for the yearbook.
Jn other business, the long-awaited Tweetie-Libraiy
poll questionnaires were approved and plans were mapped
for what promises to be a rip-snorting mock presidential
campaign and election.
Edward E. Beeler, chairman of^
Fulbright Awards
Deadline Is Near
the Publications committee, ap
peared to discuss the fate of the
Pine Knot. Beeler explained the
yearbook, which was contracted
for last February, could not be
published if the requested funds
were not restored. The budget re
quest was $5,490.
At its last meeting the board
recommended a budget of $4,705,
a cut of $785. During that meeting
budgets of all Cooperative associ
ation agencies were slashed due to
limited funds.
It was pointed out at this week’s
meeting that last year’s Execu
tive Board started operation with
a balance of $4,000 whereas the
present board began with only an
$800 balance. In addition, about
75 fewer students are members of
the Cooperative association this
year which means $1,050 is not
available which was last year.
Therefore cuts were mandatory,
the board decided.
David Smith, president of the
Cooperative association, reported
that Milton Adams, college busi
ness manager, told him an aver
age of 90 students have transfer
red here in second semester dur
ing the past three years.
Smith said the administration as
sured him there would be at least
50 transfer students and probably
more. With additional income
from activities fees of the 50 or
more, $773 for the Pine Knot could
be restored, he explained.
Following statements by Smith
and Thomas Norvell to the effect
they thought the Pine Knot was
the most important activity of the
Cooperative association, the cam
pus leaders voted unanimously to
restore all but $12 of the previous
ly cut budget.
Turning to other business the
board okayed information contain
ed on questionnaires for the Twee-
tie - Library polls. Disapproving of
a suggestion to handle the polls
by having students vote during
given hours in the lobby of the
Classroom building, the board ap
proved a suggestion the question
naires be completed during regu
lar class meetings this week.
With an eye toward stimulating
more student interest in the cur
rent presidential campaigns. Smith
requested authorization to appoint
committees to stage mock presi
dential campaigns and an election
on campus.
Gaining approval of the govern
ing body. Smith named T. RUey
chairman of the committee in
charge of drumming support for
the Nixon - Lodge ticket and Ken
Bryan as chairman of a commit
tee to brost the Kennedy-Johnson
combination. Other members ap
pointed to the GOP committee
