Exec Board
Hears Cobb
The Executive Board held its reg
ular weekly meeting in the Class
room Building Monday night and
heard Mr. James V. Cobb, Chair
man of the Concert and Assembly
Committee. It also passed a re5olu-
tion endorsing the student fund drive,
and authorized the sending of a rep
resentative to Greensboro College for
a ceremony dedicating the new Stu
dent Union Building of that school.
Mr. James Cobb, acting as Chair
man of the Concert and Assembly
Committee, appeared before the
board with a request relating to the
procurement of lecturers and musi
cal groups. He asked that the com
mittee be allowed to obligate funds
ma year in advance in order to ensure
getting the best possible talent for
special occasions on campus. He cit
ed the recent failure to secure a
singing group for Homecoming as an
example of what might be avoided
by being able to contract well in ad
vance. He also suggested that the
board request assistance from the
Board of Trustees in paying for
first-rate entertainment. The board,
after considerable discussion, voted
to allow Mr. Cobb to obligate a maxi
mum of $1600 for advance negotia
tions.
The board, voting unanimoulsy,
passed a resolution endorsing the
student fund drive scheduled to be
gin Feb. 18. The details of this drive
were explained at a prior meeting.
In compliance with a request by
Greensboro College, the sending of
a representative to a Feb. 14 cere
mony dedicating the new Student Un
ion Building of that school was au
thorized by the board. Students from
colleges throughout the State were
asked to attend and to bring with
them a pennant from their respec
tive schools to be hung in the new
building.

and will then be available for other

Dr. Garrison is not only one of

the best known men in the field of
< religion in the United States. He
received his B.A. degree from Yale
University in 1894, and his B.D. and
Ph.D. both in the same year, 1897,
from the University of Chicago. Dr.
Garrison also holds the honorary
degrees of Ltt. D., LL. D., and D. D.
Dr. Garrison has been the presi
dent of several colleges and uni
versities, among them Butler Uni
versity, Highlands University in New
Mexico, and New Mexico State Uni
versity. In 1913, Dr. Garrison found
ed the Claremont School for Boys

' the student bo{ly and discuss ttie
reasons for the campaign, what
use will be made of the funds, and
how the success or failure of the
Student Drive will affect the col-
j lege and the individual student.
“The Student Drive, as a part of
the over-all development program,
will have an important bt-aring on
the rest of tlie campaign, " comment
ed Thomas J. Hackey, Jr., General
Chairman. “If our captains and work
ers throughout the state can tell of
100 per cent participation by students
of ACC, it will be a tremendous sell
ing point.
“All of us realize the nwnls for the
capital campaign,’’ said Hatten Hod
ges, chairman of (he Student Drive.
“The present gymnasium does not
fulfill the requirements of the physi
cal education department, nor is it
capable of handling the college’s
present intramural and inter-collegi
ate schedules. Tlie Art and Music
Buildings have long been delayed
and are necessary for the all-round
development of the college. The Bo-
hunk, though adequate for an enroll
ment of 500, cannot fulfil the needs
of a student body of 1250. The cafe
teria is having the same problems.
“With thirteen colleges within a
100 mile radius of Atlantic Chris
tian, the college, out of necessity,
must strive to equal or exceed the
standards of those colleges and uni
versities in close proximity to it.”
'The Drive will be conducted on a
pledge basis, with a convenient 36-
month payment periods being ar
ranged. In the extended period, the
pledge can be paid monthly, quarter
ly, semi-annually, annually, or ac
cording to any schedule the donor
may prefer.
Pledges of large amounts will not
bo expected nor sought in the student
drive. Each student will be encour
aged to give something, regardless of
the amount. The important ideas be
hind the student campaign is to
prove by 100 per cent, giving that stu
dents at ACC have genuine interest
and concern for their college.

The uniqueness of the event is not
limited to the fact that Hines’
$2,000 fee for a two-hour concert is
considerably above the average wage
for Wilson County, according to Don
ald G. Hinshaw, local Community
Concert president.
Rather, Hinshaw said, the event
will be unique because it will be a
“dramatized” concert in which Hines
