Rush Week Success
With 136 Pledges
Rush has come to an end at At
lantic Christian College with 70 girls
pledging sororities and 66 men
pledging fraternities.

girls. Sigma Tau Chi received 14
pledges and Delta Sigma has seven.

pledges and Sigma Pi has six.
One hundred twenty-four girls par
ticipated in rush activities while

Eddie Perkins, president of IFC,
has expressed the following state
ment concerning rush: “I think
that rush this year was very suc
cessful although all of the organiza
tions were a little disappointed with
the percentage of rushees that ac
tually pledged. The co-operation
among the different organizations
and the IFC was much better than
in years past.
Rush is an annual event at At
lantic Christian College and is gov
erned by the Inter-fraternity council
which is composed of representa
tives from each Greek organization
on campus.
HARD AT WORK—The “Honeymoon” is over for fall Greek pledges
as they are beginning: to find out. Above one of them gets the treat
ment.

Cordon E, Mercer
Appointed At ACC
Gordon E. Mercer, educated at
Wake Forest College and the Uni
versity of North Carolina at Chapel
Hill, has been appointed instructor
of history at Atlantic Christian Col
lege.
A native of Hampton, Va., Mercer
is married to the former Myra Car
penter of Albemarle. He is Method
ist by denominational preference.
“I am thoroughly impressed with
the attitudes of the students at At
lantic Christian. They seem to be
really interested in forming inter-
lectual opinions of their own con
cerning current events.” This was
the statement made by the latest
addition to the history department
when asked about his opinion of
the college.
Mercer plans to work on his PhD
at the University of North Carolina
in the near future.
plot concerns three young men and
three young women who share an
apartment in New York City. They
are would - be stage folk and have
been driven to this scheme by the
lack of money. It is a whacky plan
they have in mind, for the apart
ment they rent is immediately above
that of a Broadway producer who
has quite a hit running and is about
to cast a road company of the play.
They rehearse the play which he is
currently producing but the problem
is —• how to get him upstairs to see
it? It so happens that the producer
is a amateur chef of some consider
able ability, and right in the middle
of a culinary concoction he runs out
of flour. He comes upstairs to bor
row a cup. The kids have him in
the house and they aren’r going to
let him out until he sees some evi
dence of their ability. So to impress
him they stage a murder scene.
The six young actors are played
by Floyd Harnage, Fred Barber,
George Farr, Ray Torrey, Betty
Lee Gray ad Grace Driscoll. Their
landlady, who always seems to be
“out to lunch” is Penny Kirk, while
Robert Royall appears as the the
atrical producer. Jo Ann Davis is
the unwilling and unresponsive
corpse and Jim Burroughs is a
stuffy, blustering Bostonian. The two
cops, who don’t solve the mystery
and end up as mystified are Clif
ford Poole and Ray Fisher. The
play has been directed by Mr. Ce
cil Willis with B. H. Marshall as
Technical Assistant and Jimmy Pol
lard as Stage Manager.
All Stage and Script productions
are free to ACC students, faculty,
and staff, and season tickets for
this year’s productions may be
picked up in the lobby of the
Classroom Building on Monday,
Oct. 21 from 10 to 12 and 1 to 3:30.
