Problems Are
Deliberated
The Executive Board held its reg
ular weekly meeting in the Class
room Building Monday night. During
their meeting they discussed the
present Honor system policy of the
college and the prospects of develop
ing a new system. Also during the
meeting they discussed plans for the
Executive Board to meet with the
Board of Trustees.
President E. B. Shearin announc
ed that the disciplinary problems
were becoming more and more pro
nounced on and off campus. He com
mented that the problem of drink
ing has been on the increase and
that something must be done to cur
tail the problem. Poor conduct in
the Dining Hall has also gotten out
of hand. Breaking - in - line, steal
ing silverware and the throwing of
food during meals was elaborated
OP by Mr. Pete Warren as being
a serious problem. Cheating on
classwork was also menioned as be
ing a threat to the academic stan
dards of the college.
In response to hearing the many
pBoblems that have arisen on the
campus a motion was made as fol
lows: A committee will be or
ganized made up of the President
of the Co-op, Men’s Dorm Associa
tion Day Student representative, and
a member of the Interfraternity
Council to begin work on a definite
Honor policy at Atlantic Christian
College. If work is not completed by
the time new officers take over, the
officers installed in these positions
for 1963-64 will continue this work.
