Each Labor Day, New years, Easter, Christmas, and Than!. i>ivinf-;, hundreds of people are killed on the highways of the United States. Thousands are maimed, disfigured, and sho' ki d int > mental disorder.' each year because of being m an autom-.biIe accid-.-nt or because of the effects of one. ^lety as a whole d/« :;n't rcc,;;nize that there are people bemg killed and inj ;rcd rvi rvday on our highways. The only interest in highway dc .ths tiiki-n by ;;<)< ;i^ty is during holidays and this seems to be a morbid one. Each holiday the National Safety ^uncil predicts a (-rtain number to die in accidents and usually they are reward ed by having b«'en con. orvative. Do averaj-.’ everjday human beings realize that the lives be- inj; r ibb<‘d out are the same lives that once existed in a town or city or maybe just a rural sotting and that these lives are similar to the one s that created innovations in the world arouna us? Philo.sophiTS, ministers, grocers, sodajerks, chemists, artists, tear-h<-n;, doctors, l;iw>’ers, historians, and every kind of human, the; f are the one.' that are: being killed, not soulless, lifeless, and unimportant bits of matter. Waste because of so-called inevita bility is an absurd proposition. If man can not practice conser^- tion of human lives there mu.st be something mis.sing in the structure of man himself. Our government controls the areas in the United State; called National Parks, Forests and Refuges wi.ii care and zeal. Why then, can’t our government do something to control our prime resource, “people?” Laws are only good in- tention;s on v Dodd stated recently that Harvard University probably ;^rx-nd:; ii: the neighborhood of a million dollars per year for the prixilege of fielding a football team. This money must be ex- for a.'-.MStant coaches, athletic scholarships, traveling, play- m.T quipmfnt, and numerous other things. It is obvious tiiat AC coul(i ncit hope to devote nearly this sum to football—or all its spon. combint:d, for that matter. There is another sport, tliough, which could entail for us very lif'o expense, which is played in the fall, and which could enable us to compete not only with local colleges but with schools such as UNC, Duke, and Navy. This sport is soccer. Soccer is the real “football” for most of the world. In Europe and Latin America the game is played with great fervor by teams of skilled amateurs and professionals and is followed with the interest devoted in this country only to heavyweight championship fights or the World Series. Players are traded for great sums of money and are even occasionally kidnapped to allow the favorite team a botter chance of winning. Any sport which can achieve such a degree of ix>pularity must have merit. In this country, the game was long confined to expensive prep school:, and Ivy League colleges. Only recently has sufficient in- ten: t U“en generated in soccer for students to turn out in any numlx;rs to watch their soccer team in action. The sport is on the threshold of a great rise in popularity in America, and ACC has the opjxirtunity to take advantage of this new interest. If we want a team, however, we as students must take the Initiative in its creation. Neither the administration nor the athletic department can accomplish anything where there is no interest on the p>art of the students. Persons who are willing to work for a team must form some organization to have any effectiveness. Soccer will not be brought to this campus without effort, but if sdiool spirit and pride can be increased by the sport, it will not have bci;n effort wasted.—MUL Caution Reader’s F o r u 111 Dear Editor, Every day we hesr someone ssy, “Will you get my mail out of my box?” It must be that these people cannot read for there is a sign in the Bohunk clearly stating that we are not to open anyones mailbox but our own. If people would obey this law and remember to bring their secret com binations when opening their boxes we would probably not hear the of ten repeated statement, “My box is broken.” We guarantee that envelopes with the initials “ACC” will be sent to the college post office; however we urge married students to omit ACC when writing their home addresses. Reviewing the condition of the Bo hunk once again, it is most likely that our student center’s filthy state is caused by the careless and thoughtless actions of those who do the most complaining. If everyone will clean-up his own trash then we might have a clean student center. Ruth Honeycutt Martha Houseman P. S. We hope students will take this as constructive criticism. 1,325 Students Set New Attendance Record Here On Monday, October 7th, fall rush will begin for the Atlantic Christian student body. Rush, in one way or another, will af fect everyone and everj'thing on campus. It is a time of nervous expectation and constant worry for the Freshmen and others who will take the role of rushees and a time of hard work and much decision making for the Greeks. Studies and regular activities will be forgotten or lost in the upheaval that will take place. To the Freshmen a word of caution must be given. During the events of rush week the word “think” must be implanted on each rushee’s mind. Too many act first and think later, which in turn sometimes causes disguest, displeasure, and unhappiness. I’m sure that in the four weeks of school proceeding rush, you as a new student can not grasp the total meaning of college and the purpose of your life while in college. This perspective can come only through constant interaction with your environment, and this environment should remain fresh and' challenging up to and after the day of graduation. The Greek organizations can be a major factor in the final outcome of your college life. The organization you join can have a good or bad or even no effect on your life. The effect depends on many things, and not just on the organization itself. I thmk the saying, “things are what we make them,” fits the idea and should probably be the theme of everj- rush week. If you pledge a Greek organization with the idea of using it for yourself only, you will find only trouble. However, if you pledge with the idea of giving and then sharing you will be a success in the organiza tion no matter which one you choose. I suggest to the Freshmen, the way to approach rush is to cut through the crust and probe yourself, even if it Is painful, and then make your decision.—FSL Students, let me take up a little of your time and ask you to please take notice of the advertisements in our campus newspaper. The adver tisements in The COLLEGIATE are not only for the purpose of sustain ing the paper financially, but to pre sent to the students, especially those from out of town, some of the lead ing merchants and their fine prod ucts in Wilson. A great deal of time and effort is spent on the part of the Business Department of The COLLEGIATE and the merchants of Wilson in helping the students at At lantic Christian College feel more at ease in their shopping. Wilson is a leading community with friendly merchants waiting to show their products to the students of Atlantic Christian College. When you do visit the downtown shopping center stop in and see these fine people who have so generously sup ported Atlantic Christian College and its many projects through the years, David Webb Business Manager THE COLLEGIATE P.E.

Model United Nations To Be Staged From Feb. 12-15, the sixth annual Middle South United Nations Model General Assembly will be held at Duke University. The Secretary-gen eral of this Model UN has said “In today’s troubled and chaotic world, it is especially vital and timely that students from leading colleges and universities from more than ten Southern states should ga ther on the Duke University campus in a mock United Nations in an at tempt to learn more about and in turn to teach about the purposes and successes of this great peace enter- prize.” He states further, “Through the General Assembly plenaries, the Security Council and the permanent committee meetings the UNMGA trys to present a realistic mock picture of the United Nations in an effort to spread throughout the col legiate world word of its functions and the role that it has played in the peace such as it is in our time. The Model United Nations General Assembly will be divided into four committees as follows: Political; Economic; Social, Humanitarian and Cultural; and Trusteeship. The items on the agenda are primarily suggestive of the areas which the committees will encompass. The items include; Current conditions in: Malaysia, Congo, West Iran, Israel- Arab borders, Yemen, British Gui- Ann, Korea, Portugese territor ies, Iraq (genocide). Others include; the World Trade Conference, The Economic Consequences of Disarm ament, Economic independence in the declaration of permanent sever- eighty over natural resources, in dustrial development proposals in cluding training of personnel to de velop less well-developed countries, world hunger, world health, human rights, political asylum, race rela tions in South West Africa and remaining trusteeships and the problems connected with their re lease. Those persons interested in being a delegate to this assembly are ask ed to contact Maurice Belanger at once because applicaton must be sent to the Model UN headquarters by Oct. 15. News And Views By DWIGHT WAGNER Within the past two decades prob ably more has been done by men of labor to better their livelihood than any other group in our society. The main reason for this has been the determined, ceaseless, efforts of the labor unions to obtain better working conditions, better wages, and shorter hours. Now the unions represent a prime factor in the makeup of both economic and social standards. Today, however, it would seem that the unions have reached a level ing off point in their long climb for higher standards. While it is still private parlor talk, many union lead ers admit that the unions are not as important to American workers as they once were. One of the most significant reasons for this would have to be the change in the attitude of business and corporations towards the worker. The things that were fought for so hard in the past are now being given the worker by the corporations without hesitation. Another factor involved is that the unions have raised the trade - union member in many instances practi cally to a middle - class status. In some cases it goes even further than that, if you consider it is nothing un usual for a truck driver to earn as much as $10,000 a year. Other union officials feel that many unions have lost their steam because leaders are no longer in terested in organizing low-salaried workers. They have become content ed with their many achievements and take great pride in the agree ments they have negotiated. This has made the unions not as potent as they once were because they are so anxious to conform with basic trends in American society. Now the unions must cast out and seek new labor goals. As they do this, it offers a time to remind the unions that their first responsibility is to the public and not to the sole benefit of themselves. Too often in the past the unions have required the public to bear the serious eco nomic burdens of unreasonable de mands. The proposed selling of surplus wheat to the Soviet Union is sure to bring the voices of opposition fro® many Americans. The other side of the coin out that much of the surplus whea we are sending to our Allies is being sold to the Soviet Union.
