Spring Registration
Begins December 2
By SUE BRANNAN
Thanksgiving vacation has come
and gone, and many of us have
returned to school shaken iby cold
reality and hard facts. We made
such firm resolutions to really
get down and study, to return to
our academic pasts long enough
to do those overdue assignments
and perhaps catch up with our
academic presents. But we failed!
It was so hard to study that we
didn’t try.
Beginning December 2, 1960, ad
visors will have available for their
advises spring schedules and reg
istration materials. They will also
have a tentative list of courses to
be offered during the Summer
Session of 1961. This Summer ses
sion schedule is not final, but it
wiU be helpful to many of you
who plan to attend summer school
in selecting courses for the spring
semester.
Students are required to fill
in a tentative registration form
showing choice of courses for
spring semester. After conferences
with their advisors, ^students are
to fiU in registration cards then
return them to their advisor. Ad
visors will take the completed
cards to the Registrar’s office on
the following dates: Seniors, Dec
ember 5,6, and7; Juniors, Dec
ember 8 and 9; Sophomores, Dec
ember 12 and 13; and Freshmen,
December 14 and 15.
Between 10:00 a.m. and 3:00
p.m. on the date following the
turn-in of registrations, students
are to report to the Registrar’s
office to fill in class cards. The
registrar says that it is important
that this be completed promptly be
cause priority for closing sections
is established in this manner.
Students are requested to com
plete registration during exami
nation week, January 16-19, 1961
by going to the Business Office,
paying their biU, and picking up
class admission cards. If, in the
meantime, students fail a course,
necessitating a change in schedule,
they can make the changes on
January 25. Other changes can
be made ibeginning January 26;
a charge of $1.00 per schedule
change will be made for all chang
es after January 25, except those
made for administrative reasons.
Students taking freshman and
sophomore English must register
for the same section as the fall
semester. Exceptions to this can
be made only by permission of the-
chairman of the English Depart
ment.
Regular students will not be
allowed to register for Saturday
or evening classes except by
written permission of the chair
man of the department offering
the course.
If by chance students are among
those who are on probation this
semester, this registration schedule
does not apply to you. If they are
eligible to return next semester,
they may register January 25,
1961. .
Campus Briefs
Business Club Selects FBLA;
Collegiate Scribes Needed
Action was taken November 17
by the Business Club of Atlantic
Christian- College to become a
member of the Future Business
Leaders of America.
The primary business of the
meeting centered its attention 'upon
their affiliation with the national
organization. Much discussion was
given by members of the Business
Club concerning the constitution of
the F.B.L.A.
It was explained during the busi
ness m)eeting that the prescribed
constitution would not be effective
until a designed installation serv
ice makes its adoption complete.
The campus business majors de
cided that a $3.00 dues fee will be
paid by members at next week’s
regular meeting.
The Colegiate Staff is hunting
for reporters! Editors Alton Lee
Jr. and TerriU Riley encourage
anyone interested in sports, news,
or feature writing to contact them

Beeler in the Administration Build
ing before the begiiming of the
second semester.
The Collegiate, published week
ly, offers good experience to stu
dents who are interested in news
media and writing. (It says here
in very smal print.)

Beverly WoKf, mezzo-soprano,
wiU appear at a special commun-
ity program at Fike High School
"Tuesday, December 6 at 8:15 p.m.
The program is sponsored by the
Assembly and Concert Com-mittee
with the Wilson Community Con
cert Association.
The Bulldogs, undefeated in two
games, have knocked off the 1955-
56 ACC champs 78-63 in the an
nual Blue and White game and
Tuesday night whipped Pembroke
90-81. Catawba was last year’s
North State Conference champion
and promises to be a tough team
to handle.
“This year’s team wiU be the
sort of team that rides high or
low according to the spirit of the
student body,” Coach Jack
McComtas said recently. McComas
has predicted from the start of
practice that his charges would be
battling for the number one spot
this year and has given no indi
cation of changing his mind.
Probable starters for the Bull
dogs wiU be seniors Jack Boyd
and Dick Knox at guards, sopho
more Jerry Fritz and either John
Eskew or Bobby Atkinson at for
wards and Ernie Oden at center.
Dale Fillingame, towering 6-8 cen
ter, will probably see plenty of
action along with Ray Smith, Bill
Shouldice, Jack Hussey, Tommy
Parham and Terry Harris.
Next Tuesday night at the Rec
reation Center gym the Bulldogs
will play host to the Pembroke
College team m a return match.
The gates wiU be opened and the
public admitted free of charge in
that clash—a move calculated to
bring this year’s team many new
fans.
Knox and Boyd, two of the best
looking guards to appear in the
North State Conference in many a
moon, are expected to carry a big
load this season as ACC seeks to
improve its won-lost record of 17-
14 during the 1959-60 season. Boyd,
a transfer letterman from Duke
University, has been a big help to
the club already. Another big gun
will be Jerry Fritz who led last
year’s scorers with an 18.2 aver
age in 17 games. J'ritz was also
the top rebounder, grabbing 17 off
the boards per game. Ernie Oden,
at 6-5 will be the Bulldog starting
center. He has plenty of court
savvy and experience. Fillingame,
the tallest AC eager at 6-8, wiU
be ready to back him up. T^is
year’s squad seems to have the
depth that some teams of the past
'few years have lacked too. Atkin
son, Eskew, Smith, Parham, and
Shouldice are all expected to add
real strength.
Coach Jack McComas is begin
ning his ninth year as head basket
ball coach at AC. During that time
his teams have won 130 games and
have dropped 107 contests and he
has brought home one conference
chamtpionship while keeping his
teams among the front-runners.
Crosswalks Planned
Board Studies ACC’s
T angled Traf fi c Woes
The past six weeks have found
Zarelda Walston, Secretary of the
Cooperative Association, at work
with the city commission of Wil
son. At the request of the Execu
tive Board, Miss Walston met with
city officials to discuss what the
student government considers nec-
cessary for the safety of ACC stu
dents in crossing streets adjacent
to the college; crosswalks at heav
ily traveled and conjested areas.
Grantham Speaks
To Weightlifters
President Hal Gibbs opened the
Wednesday night meeting of the
Weightlifting Club. After the busi
ness of the organization v/as dis
cussed, the guest speaker, Joe
Grantham was introduced.
Grantham, an AC graduate in
1958, is now serving with the U.
S. Army in Fort Carson, Colorado.
He has placed fifth and third in
two separate Senior National
Weightlifting events and second in
the National Intercollegiate Cham
pionship. Saturday, November 12,
Grantham placed first in the North
American Championships in York,
Pennsylvannia. In his class, 165
pounds, Grantham is one of the
nation’s best lifters and his future
plans include a possible trip to the
Olympics in 19M.
Miss Walston reported to the
board this week at its Monday eve
ning business session on her find
ings. She discussed with the board
the city’s willingness to provide
two crosswalks around the college
if students would take advantage
and use them. It was the job of
the executive 'board at its weekly
meeting to select what It consid
ered to be the most conjested
areas where crosswalks would aid
the students.
After much discussion, the board
decided it would inform city of
ficials to provide crosswalks in
front of Harper Hall leading to
Tweetie’s and on Lee Street in
front of Moye Science Hall.
David Smith, president of the
Cooperative Association, suggested
to the board a commiittee be form
ed to be in charge of the responsi
bility and assignment of the Coop
piano. Smith said at various times
several groups desired access to
the piano and a designated group
should see the instrument is used
properly.
It was passed by the executive
leaders that the Social Committee
would have in addition to its regu
lar responsibilities the responsi
bility of caring for the student
government piano which was pur
chased last summer.
The board announced in further
business that Mary Ann Marchant
and Betty Jean Grady would be
the delegates to represent Atlantic
Christian College at the Regional
NSA Conference to be held in
Lynchburg, Va., Dec. 2.
