The Board of Trustees of Atlan- ♦
tic Christian College has given its I
unanimous approval to a $3.5 mil-1
lion program of development, de-1
signed to allow for the orderly and
balanced long-range development
of aU phases of the college’s edu
cation program.
The program was approved at a
meeting of the board held in WU-
son, Oct. 27, and is designed to be
carried out over a 15-year period
which is to be divided into three
5 - year phases.
Scheduled to begin in 1962 - 63
and to be completed in 1977, the
master plan provides for an exten
sive building program and pro-;
grams of endowment, land acquisi
tion and faculty salaries.
The program provides for addi
tional dormitory facilities, addi
tional classroom facilities, which
include physical education plant,
Music and Fine Arts buildings,
and renovation and expansion proj
ects for library and science build
ings.
It was made clear that the pro
gram was in no sense made up of
inflated values of need, but the
very minimum, anticipating no sig
nificant increase in the college’s
1,200 student enrollment.
Dr. Arthur D. Wenger, president
of Atlantic Christian College, gave
his annual report to the board for
the 1960 - 61 academic year which

report on progress in a program
looking toward a quality student
body, adequately trained faculty.

Circle K Club
Now Working On
Major Project

has finally begun work on its first
project of the year. The men of
the organization have been work
ing for the past several Saturdays
on the rejuvination of the house
next to Tweeties. At the present
time, the work is approximately
half finished, and it is hoped that
the various campus organizations
will be able to move in within the
next few weeks.
On Friday, Nov. 3, the men of
Circle “K” will serve as a wel
coming committee for those visi
tors to our campus for the purpose

various high schools in the area.

At present, the men of the or
ganization are busy making plans
for the future. It is hoped that the
club will be able to take an active
part in the organization of a dis
trict to include Circle “K” groups
on campuses across the state. The
group also wishes to arrange sev
eral dinner meetings with the men
of the Circle “K” on the East Caro
