ACC Campus Is Site
Of Big Spring Dan ce
Tomorrow night Atlantic Chris
tian College will have its annual
Spring Dance in the lobby of the
Classroom Building from eight un
til twelve o’clock in the evening.
The theme for this year’s dance
i;, “Younger than Spring”. Musi«
will be furnished by Jim Crisp’s
band from Chapel Hill.
Bob Matthews, student chairman
of the Social Committee, had this
to say about the dance, “It is the
feeling of the members of the So
cial Committee that we as young
people should deyelop ‘the socivjl
graces’. Every group on campus
has dances which are not formal,
therefore, the Social Committee
sponsors two such, formal dances
per year: the Christmas Dance
and the Spring Dance. It is hoped
that no one will not attend this
dance beoause of a lack of formal
attire. Although dinner jackets and
tuxedos are preferred, suits will be
acceptable attire for the dance.”
Evening and cocktail dresses will
be proper attire for the ladies.
Those on the Social Committee
are: Bob Matthews, student chair
man and Senior representative;
Judy Barnes, Junior representa
tive; Bob Bishop, Sophomore rep
resentative; and Miss W a'r d,
faculty chairman.
The Bohunk Committee, under
the leadership of Miss Daniel and
Pat Belangia, is also helping with
the presentation of this dance.

Harrison, included Jim Boswell,
Patsy Hall, Dave Mustian, Nancy
Roberson, John Greenway, and Al

Essay Contest Entries
Must Be In By May 3
Habebunt Lumen Vitae!
This motto has been chosen as
the theme for the essays to be
written by the students for the an
nual Denny Essay Contest. When
translated from Latin, the college
motto means, “And They Shall
Have The Light Of Life.” The
theme has 'been used for more
than 20 years. There was some
thought of changing the theme
each year so as to create new in
terest in the contest. However, if
the theme is to be changed it will
hav to be done next y/ear.
Ashton Wiggs, Chairrtian of the
Awards Committee, feels it is too
late this year to change the theme,
but asks that any student who
wishes the theme changed to con
tact him and offer suggestions.
The Denny Essay Contest was
started in the late thirties by S. B.
Denny and is now being carried on
by his son, F. 1. Denny, owner
of Denny Jewelery Store, in me
mory of his father. The main idea
of the essay contest is to promote
interest in good writing among
students.
The award is a small cup given
to the individual who has written
the best essay and his, or her,
name will be engraved on the
big Denny Essay Cup which is now
in the showcase in the lobby of
the classroom building. The essay
must be from 500 to 1,000 words in
length, typed, double - spaced, and
handed in to Mr. Wiggs in the
Business Department on or before
May 3. Any student may partici
pate in this contest and all are
urged to begin now. The cup will
be awarded on Blue White Day,
May 11.

of the winning student of the contest. Conte
Lumen Vitae.
Two students are seeking the
position of president of the Coop
erative Association for next school
year. They are Jeff Adams and
Dave Mustian.
Adams is a transfer junior from
Campbell CoUege. At Campbell,
he was president of both his fresh
man and his sophomore classes.
He was on the basketball squad
and served as co-captain of the
team last year. During his second
year at Campbell, Adams received
the distinction of being named as
one of the school’s most outstand
ing students.
A native of Newton. Grove,
Adams is a member of the Delta
Sigma Phi fraternity. His major
is biology and his minor is physi
cal education. Jeff is preparing for
secondary public school teaching.
Adams said he likes to face prob
lems and seek new information and
ideas. One main thing he is inter
ested in promoting is increased
awareness and concern of campus
government on the part of the
student body. He said the govern
ment is for the students, and stu
dents should be in it to a greater
extent.
Dave Mustian, a junior, is now
serving as president of the North
State Student Government Asso
ciation. He has also been treasurer
and vice-president of this organi
zation. Last year, he was presi
dent of AC’s sophomore class.
A resident of Raleigh, Mustian
is a member of Sigma Phi Epsilon
and was immediate past president
of his fraternity. His major is
physical education and he, also,
is preparing for a teaching career.
Mustian has several ideas that
he would like to put into effect.
Some are his own and some are
ideas or practices that are already
in operation. He considers that
this year’s Executive Board has
made a tremendous stride forward,
and he is anxious to see many of
the current practices continued.
At the present, Dave has four in
terests in which he is greatly con
cerned. He advocates an etensive
study of the student activities fee,
including the manner and amount
of appropriations to various organ
izations, to insure students that
their money is wisely spent. Mus
tian also considers there should be
a closer relationship between this
institution and a real student or
ganizations, such as the North
State Student Government Asso
ciation and the. National Student
Association.
A third interest of Mustian’s is
to continue the present study of
the honor council and to make ad
vancements in this field. A fourth
category in which Dave expresses
concern is continuation of leader
ship training, particularly of un
derclassmen, and attainment of a
working knowledge of the Execu
tive Board on the part of the stu
dents.

handshake for The Collegiate camera as they prepare to let
loose with big guns in their contest for election as president
of ACC Cooperative Association.
If You Ask Me Scribe
Gets Student Answers
EDITOR’S NOTE: This col-
umn is the first of five in which
students selected at random
will be asked to comment on
Some issue of interest. It is hop
ed through this vehicle that con
structive and honest criticism
can be offered.
What is your opinion of the cafe
teria situation, and how do you
recommend that it be imporved?
Elleze Overman: “I do not
eat in the cafeteria because I can
get better food quality for the
same price or cheaper at other
places in town; therefore, I think
the food should definitely be im
proved.”
JEAN BAZEMORE: “I think
the students object more to,the
prices than they do the food; the
prices should either be cut or
the quality of food raised.”
Clint Bunn: “I do not think our
cafeteria merits a compulsory
book system because students
would rather eat elsewhere and
get better food at more reason
able prices.”
Joyce LaCelle: “As a commu
ting student, my observation of
the cafeteria situation has brought
me to the conclusion that the pric
es are more disagreeable than the
food quality. Compulsory meal
books might solve the administra
tion’s problem, but would the ad
ministration compromise with the
.students by making the food more
desirable?”
Ken Thornton and David Pee
bles: “We feel that if the quality
of food were raised, the price
problem would solve itself. (We
do, however, love their cherry pie
and free water.)
Gene Featherstone: “I think
the food is very good here. I work
ed for throe years at a Duncan
Hine’s - recommended restaurant,
and, while the food was extremely
good, I eventually got tired of it.
I think that is the situation here.”
fiugene Purcell: “I think they
ought to try Metrecal.”
Mary I.K)uise Westphal: “I have
eaten in a number of college cafe
terias, and I think the food in our
cafeteria is just as good as the
food on any other campus. How
ever, I do think the prices are too
high and should be slightly lower
ed.”
Lou Warner: “Frankly, I like
the food in the cafeteria, but my
pocketboQk doesn’t.”
