About The Bohunk
The Bohunk is a mess. Every hour hoards of students pour
through the portals of the student center to buy drinks, cigar
ettes, and other assorted goodies. Every hour paper and cello
phane and ashes accumulate in amazing volume on tables, in
window sills, in corners, and, in short, everywhere but the
trash cans.
The college has a paid janitorial staff, but the job of
keeping the Bohunk clean constantly would require an army
of such people who would never leave the place.'
The Bohunk is a student center and is maintained by and
for the students and at their expense. It is, therefore, the res
ponsibility of the students to empty their own ashtrays and
throw away their own refuse. It takes less than 30 seconds to
walk all the way to the nearest trash can. Of course, there
may be some students who, because of international committ
ments, cannot afford to waste that precious half minute, but
perhaps their friends can help out and make the long trip for
them.
It is only common courtesy to treat the Bohunk (and the
parlors of the dorms and similar places) as you would treat
the living room of. a home in which you were visiting.
The Bohunk must be shared because it is jointly sponsored
by a thousand people. Let’s all make an effort to improve the
appearance of the student center which belong to us. —CC
Measure Your Values
America is a land of opportunity and is a prominent lead
er in the world today, however, if our nation is to continue
leadership, students must make themselves worthy enough to
become her future leaders. The young adults of today should
measure their values and attempt to build character and quali
ties which reflect leadership. We should take advantages of
the educational opportunities so that we may use it as a tool
to build our future with a firm foundation. There is no time
better than the present to obtain these tools. Education is the
essence of our American system. Now, more than ever, our
country needs keen alert young men and women to guide her
throughout the difficulties and problems which she will en
counter in the future. Students should be preparing them
selves for the job of assuming these responsibilities and of
analyzing her present problems and planning for her future
needs. The foundation of our nation of tomorrow depends great
ly upon the initiative and qualities of leadership which are
produced by our present institutions of higher learning.
We should strive daily to promote the aims and ideals of
the students at Atlantic Christian College. We must be able
to present to the public all types of situations. Let us make
our explorations into the world of education a real adventure—
using all opportunities to full advantage. We are fortunate that
we belong to a society which helps us to develop our poten
tial abilities. Let us not only establish and maintain pattern
and tradition at Atlantic Christian College, but also accept the
educational challenge as we measure our values.

Red Or Dead?
The glib, defeatist, pessimistic slogan “Better Red than
Dead^' made famous by Lord Bertrand Russel and now being
reiterated by some conservative and pacifest groups, marks
the deterioration of faith and belief of a few in democracy
and free enterprise. The jingle or coined phrase, intended to
mean that it would be better to live under Communist domina
tion than to risk a nuclear war, does not represent the senti
ments of many of the peoples now living under Communist
rule. It would seem that the persons who took part in the
Hungarian revolution and persons who try daily to escape
from East Berlin believe in reversing the slogan—“It’s better
to take a chance on being dead than being red.”
If the United States and the West were taken over by the
Communists, it is highly possible that many Western citizens
would be both “red and dead.” It is naive to assume that
Soviet Russia, who had to murder, imprison, exile, and torture
tens of millions of her own citizens to gain acceptance of
Communism, would allow the Western heritage of democracy,
free enterprise, Christianity, and individualism to continue. On
the contrary, freedoms of elections, of the press, of speech
would be terminated; business concerns and private property'
would be liquidated; and freedom of choice would become a
relic of the past. Our business and political leaders would be
executed and imprisoned for being “enemies of the people.”
With the basic foundations of our culture and heritage destroy
ed, “read and dead” would be our only suitable slogan. For
if the ideals and values of a people are destroyed they no
longer live—they only exist.
Only the sadist could disagree that a nuclear showdown
between the West and Russia would be a disasterous night
mare for all inhabitants on earth. Yet when we think of this
unholy catastrophe it is always in retrospect to how much
damage, destruction, and death wiU occur within our own
borders. Russia realizes that the West has the power to create
a nuclear holocaust within the U.S.S.R. It is not impossible
that many of the Russian people are saying (in secret, of
course,) “better West than exemal rest.”
TTie new frontier of tomorrow will not be a place for in
difference or uninterested complacency. We must accept the
fact that we are in an ideological struggle which will not
end in a draw—victory or defeat are our only choices.

THE COLLEG I ATE
Weightlifting Is
Popular At ACC
During the past three years,
bodybuilding and weight-lifting,
two related sports in the gymnastic
family, have doubled, tripled and
finally quadrupled in popularity.
This immence growth in interest
has been reflected on the A. C.
campus.
The reasons are as varied as the
people who participate but can be
likened enough in several respects
to partially explain why.
Mr. Average American, long ac
cused of being a spectator and not
a participator has finally found a
solution. He, because of the busy
life he leads, cannot participate in
a sport more than several hours
per week. Most sports, in several
hours fail to exercise the individ
ual. Or, if this isn’t the case, the
fact that large groups of people
must form teams makes playing of
ten impossible.
Weightlifting reduces the amount
of time necessary, never needs a
team to participate, and offers
more advantages to the perform
er than any single sport.
From it, he can expect an inevi
table physique, increased energy,
more proficiency in any sport, and
more time to spare.

The following records were re
cently for sale through Marboro
at S1.98 each: “Dixieland Now
and Then,” “Piano Jazz: Art Ta
tum and Mary Lou Williams,’’
“Flamenco Songs and Dances of
Andalucia,” “Chopin Waltzes (com
plete) by Guiomar Novaes,”
“Bach: Concerti for 3 Harpsi
chords Nos. I and II, Concerto for
4 Harpsichords,” and “A Concert
of Spirituals.” You can see that
there is variety. All these records
were pressed for sale at either
$3,98 or $4.98 each. (You’U really
draw the visitors with those Bach
harpsichord concertos.)
The harpsichord was the favorite
home keyboard instrument of the
17th and 18th centuries; the piano
is the son of the harpsichord. The
harpsichord’s distinctive sound
comes from having its strings
plucked (instead of being
as in the case of the pianm *
from the fact that the harD‘;ir.h®‘“*
has several sets of strings for o??
key, each string tuned to diffprl
octaves. Thus one key can be
to sound as though several finp„
are playing several keys.
Robert Conant’s recital

For those persons who have wn
dered where the twang came fr^
in the early rock ’n roll record
here’s the chance to find out arH
to see what else the instrument i

find that the plucked sound hoW«
the imagination longer than fiM
sound might suggest. ^
Eric Friedman’s recital in Ra
leigh provides a chance to hear
a young violinist who is likely to
be increasingly well - known with
in the next five years or so The
violin is easily the most intimate
of all musical instruments excent
for the human voice. The violinS
who knov/s his instrument well con
trols pitch, loudness, rhythm — all
the elements of music — at his
fingertips. The same is true of
other stringed instruments, of
course, but the violinist has the
greatest opportunity for flexibility
that relates to the size of his in
strument and the heritage of fine
teaching and fine playing dating at
least to Paganini (1782-1840). Eric
Friedman is a product of this her
itage.
Special Book Sale Begins
At ACC Library On Monday
By IRENE B. HARRELL
Acting Head Librarian
Dear Joe,
Wanna buy a book? We’ll have
hundreds of ’em for sale begin
ning next Monday, November 6.
What kinds of books? You name
it, we’ll have it — everything
from ponderous philosophy to rath
er racy novels with maybe an old
ELSIE DINSMORE thrown in for
those who like to dream about the
good old days.
Prices? Well, that all depends
upon when you come in shopping.
Next week all books will be priced
at one dollar and there are many
bargains at that. The following
week the leftovers will go for 50
cents each and if any survive that
you may have them for ten cents
the following week. We might even
pay you to carry them off the
fourth week, but don’t count on
it. Every Monday we’ll be adding
books to the one dollar shelves so
here’s a place for you to squander
your life savings for some time
to come.
Where did we get these books?
A Boston matron was asked
“Where do you get your hats?”
in a tone that conveyed something
other than that the questioner
would rush right out and buy an
identical creation. The matron re
plied like a proper Bostonian “Get
my hats? Young man, I have my
hats!” That’s where we got some
of these books. Others are extra
copies of books we already have
and some are inappropriate for a
college library collection either be
cause they’re worn out, out of date
or on the wrong subject.
There will be a few sets of en
cyclopedias for sale to the high
est bidder before the sale is over.
We expect it to last for weeks,
So go pick up the coke bottles
you’ve been throwing in the bushes,
get your refunds and come to buy
a bargain book. Proceeds wiU make
your library a better one.

Weekends in the dorm can often
times be quite long and boring.
Here are a few suggestions of
things happening in and around
WUson that might make a weekend
more enjoyable.
Colony Theater located on South
Goldsboro. Friday - Wednesday,
Second Time Around,” starring
;^dy Griffin and Debbie Reynolds
;^ursday - Friday, “Upstairs and
Downstairs.”
Theater located at 108
West Nash. Nov. 2-15 “Spartacus,”
starring Kirk Douglas and Jean
Simmons.
Begi^nning in the next edition,
we wiU list in this column five to
six of the coming week’s outstand
ing television programs, giving
time and station, along with a
few comments on each one. Some of
toe ty^s of programs that wiU
be highlighted are: T. V. spectacu
lars, documentary shows, political
discussion, toe best in comedy and
drama, and other shows that we
feel students might be interested.
The lack of time and the absence
of fore-knowledge of good shows
to come, often causes many shows
to be missed that would have oth
erwise been seen. It is hoped that
this article will help solve some
of these problems.
