Association of Atlantic Christian
Junior High Band
Clinic Held Here
The fourth annual Eastern N. C.
Junior High Band Clinic was held
at Atlantic Christian College on
■^ril 11, 1964. This year’s band
was composed of 90 young musi
cians chosen from some 25 eastern
North Carolina bands. The conduc
tor was Mr. Henry Whitener, band
director of Charles L. Coon Junior
High in Wilson, N. C.
The Eastern Junior High School
B and Clinic was first instituted in
1960. Since that time it has )con-
tinued to operate as a common ef
fort by eastern North Carolina jun
ior hi^ sdvool band directors to
provide for their students a musi
cal experience designed to augment
their training and enhance their
appreciation of the art of rrwisic.
CoUege Tuesday morning.
Lowenstein, author of the novel
Brutal Mandate, has been “the
college professor in the news” re
cently as a result of his participa
tion in civil rights demonstrations.
According to informed sources an
attempt was made to have Lowen
stein dismissed from the State fac
ulty — an attempt which caused the
State Student Legislature to pass
a bill condemning General Assem
bly members “engaged in irregular
pressures” against college profes
sors who have participated in civil
rights demonstrations.
In his speech Tuesday Lowenstein
compared racial conditions existing
in South Africa wdlii those facing
Negroes in Mississippi. Among these
were the Negro’s right to vote and
his right to protest. The speaker
noted, “South Africa is the worst
place in the world to live for the
people who are not in the ruling
minority.”
Lowenstein surmised that one
major difference between the two
racially prejudiced areas is the role
of the Federal Government in eadi.

College to require an advance pay
ment of $50 by new and returning
students. This action was needed
in order to enable us to determine
with greater accuracy how many
students eligible to return were ac
tually planning to enroll for the en
suing term. Further, it was nec
essary for the College to have more
reliable information as to which
newly accepted students were plan
ning to enroll.
“Other attempts to determine
these figures, such as polling of
eligible students in regard to their
plans for the ensuing year, have
proved unsatisfactory. As long as
the College was in a period of
growing enrollment, this matter was
not as important as it has now be
came. The enrollment ceiling under
which we now operate makes it
neces.sary to determine in advance
what the intentions of each student
are. It should be pointed out, also,
that this is not a new fee but sim
ply an advance payment on bills
for the following year.
“Effective with this change the
$20 room reservation fee which has
been in effect for resident students
will no longer bo required. Room
reservation fees now on deposit
may be used to cover a portion of
the advance payment.
“This measure is designed to pro
tect the College against dangerous
enrollment overloads.”
The Executive Board of the Co
operative Association passed a mo
tion Monday night requesting the
resignation of Miss Mary Louise
Westphal as a member of the Exec
utive Board.
Arthur D. Wenger, President of
Allantic Christian College, has is
