The Collegiate
PUBLISHED WEEKLY
Evaluation Of
Exec Board Made
By Pres. Adams
The Cooperative Association of
Atlantic Christian College has had
quite a progressive year thus far.
Delegates from, Atlantic Christian
were sent by the Cooperative Asso
ciation to Madison, Wisconsin, Au
gust 20-30th to participate in the
National Student Congress sponsor
ed by the United States National
Student Association. The National
Student Association is composed of
student bodies in all parts of the
country and is very strong in its
concern of national and internation
al activities which affect Ameri
can students. We, of Atlantic Chris
tian, are very proud to -be of
membership in this organization.
Our student government was
very active in freshmen orienta
tion at the beginning of the school
year. Along with student leaders
who gave individual assistance to
the entire program, a portion of
the program was sponsored by our
student government. In our mee1>
ings with the freshmen, we ex
plained the purpose of campus
government along with the role
they can play as potential student
leaders. We feel the program was
very successful and beneficial to
all concerned; we hope the fresh
men will prove our opinion on this
with their efforts and cooperation
toward our work.
For the past several years, our
Executive Board consisted of thir
teen members. This year a resolu
tion, accepted by the student body,
expanded the board to twenty-one
members with the new members
being elected by each individual
class. This system is still quite
new to us, but we feel these new
additions by producing more ideas
and opinions will and are greatly
aiding to more and better decisions
made by the Executive Board.
Also, this year we have two new
groups functioning under te Co
operative Association. One of these
is the campus radio station, WACR.
The school is very fort’xnate in
having this group which has done
an outstanding job in rendering
their time and facilities to pro
vide the campus with broadcast
ing services.
The other new group is known as
the Campus Awareness Committee.
This committee, at present, is mak
ing arrangements to bring speak
ers, films, debates and other poli
tical figures to campus in order
to arouse students to see and stu
dy the activities and needs of the
world today.
We feel that these new groups
have rendered great services to the
student life on campus. For in
stance, the radio station strives to
keep the student body informed of
news items which affect the stu
dents, directly and indirectly. The
Campus Awareness Committee has
sponsored discussions led by Dr.
William Troutman on the subject
of “A Liberal’s View of the World
Mairs Today,” and by Dr. Dan
iel McFarland on “The Conserva
tive’s Outlook.” The Committee
planned for the presentation of the
film “Operation Abolition”; how-

And It Came To Pass In Those Days
Luke, //, 1-20; Matthew, II, 1-11
The Executive Board opened its
Decembor 11 meeting by r e a d-
ing a letter of appreciation from
Dick Kanipes, president of the
North State Conference for the re-
coption and host activities this
College performed during the re
cent North State Student Govern
ment Association conference.
The first order of business cov-
erod the Budget Committee report
on the current Co-Op financial sta
tus; which is apparently suffering
from lack of funds due to the num
ber of students who are paying
their tuition on an installment ba
sis. The next phase of the budget
reloase will be determined by tiie
Spring Semester enrollment.
A tentative request for an In
crease in Stuent Activities is
needed and should bo presented to
the Board of Trustees at the next
regular meeting in February of
19<)2.
Professor Gene Featherstone pe
titioned the Board for additional
funds to offer student and faculty
receptions for guest arti.sts of the
Concert Committee. The Board has
directod Mr. Featherstone to use
funds already allotted to the com
mittee.
The final business item on the
agenda was the speeding problem
which seems to grow more acuto
daily. The Wilson City Officials
have agreed to consider flashing
lights at cross-walks and re-loca
tion of existing stop lights.
St. Luke, 2
1. And it came to pass in those
days, that there went out a de
cree from Caesar Augustus, that
all the world should be taxed.
2. (And this taxing was first
made when Cyrenius was governor
of Syria.)
3. And aU went to be taxed,
every one into his own city.
4. And Joseph also went up from
Galilee,, out of the city of Nazareth
into Judaea, unto the city of Da
vid, which is called Bethlehem;
(because he was of the house and
lineage of David.)
5. To be taxed with Mary his
espoused wife, being great with
child.
6. And so it was, that, while they
were there, the days were ac
complished that she should be de
livered.
7. And she brought forth her
firstborn son, and wrapped him
in swaddling clothes, and laid him
in a manger; because there was
no room for him in the inn.
8. And there were in the same
country shepherds abiding in the
field, keeping watch over their
flock by night.
9. And, lo, the angel of the Lord
came upon them, and the glory
of the Lord shone round about
them: and they were sore afraid.
10. And the angel said unto them.
Fear not: for, behold, I bring you
good tidings of great joy, which
shall be to all people.
11. For unto you is born this day
in the city of David a Savior,
which is Christ the Lord.
12. And this shall be a sign unto
you: Ye shall find the babe wrap
ped in swaddling clothes, lying in
a manger.
13. And suddenly there was with
the angel a multitude of the heav
enly host praismg God, and say
ing,
14. Glory to God in the highest,
and on earth peace, good wiU
toward men.
15. And it came to pass, as the
angels were gone away from them
into heaven, the shepherds said
one to another. Let us now go
even unto Bethlehem, and see this
thing which is come to pass, which
the Lord hath made known unto
us.
16. And they came with haste,
and found Mary, and Joseph, and
the babe lying in a manger.
17. And when they had seen it,
they made known abroad the say
ing which was told them concern-

18. And all they that heard it
wondered at those things which
were told them by the shepherds.
19. But Mary kept all these
things, and pondered them in her
heart.
20. And the shepherds returned,
glorifying and praising God for
all the things that they had heard
and seen, as it was told unto them.
St. Matthew, 2
1. Now when Jesus was born in
Bethlehem of Judaea in the days
of Herod the king, behold, there
came three wise men from the east
to Jerusalem.
2. Saying, Where is he that is
born King of the Jews? for we
have seen his star in the east, and
are come to worship him.
3. When Herod the king had
heard these things, he was
troubled, and all Jerusalem with
him.
4. And when he had gathered
all the chief priests and scribes of
the people together, he demanded
of them where Christ should be
