again well represented at the Na
tional Student Congress of the
United States National Student As
sociation (USNSA) held at the Uni
versity of Minnesota on Aug, 16-27,
Voting delegates attending the
meeting from Atlantic Christian
were Lee Horne and Sammy Jones.
“Ccokie” Wickham and Brent Hill
served as alternates.
Among highlights of the 11-day
meeting were discussions of various
issues and the consideration of the
controversial “Columbia Resolution.”
Throughout the Congress delegates
and alternates attended seminars,
group discussions, and plenary ses
sions delving into such issues as
civil rights, academic freedom, and
academic reform. The Codification
of Policy, which contains all reso
lutions, mandates, and policy dec
larations of the Congress, was the
result of work on these issues.
Perhaps the most controversial is

One of the most eventful weeks
of the year for the college fresh
man is the week of orientation. For
the Atlantic Christian College fresh
man this tradition certainly held true
to form this year and was very
eventful.
The week of orientation actually
began on Wednesday, September 9
with the arrival of 38 upper class
men who returned to aid with the
orientation programs. Their capaci
ties branched from professor assist
ants to councelors in registration
and occasionally moral supporters.
Tlie freshmen arrived in all their
glory — and rain — on Thursday
beginning at 12 o’clock noon. Hectic
the day was, but one to be long
remembered. In the evening there
was a buffet dinner for them in the
college cafeteria, followed by “get
ting to know you” games and a
welcome meeting of the Campus
Christian Association.
Friday the orientation program
really got underway at 9 o’clock with
a sftudent assembly opened by the
College Chaplain, Dan Hensley, OtJier
college officials were present for
this assembly, including President
Arthur Wenger,
Registration filled and confused the
day considerably for freshman on
Friday. TTie process was, for the
most part, completed by 5:30 o’clock
In the afternoon, 'Hie evening meant
free time for everyone and a chance
to relax and get settled.
On Saturday the freshman were
busy with testing administered by
Dean Bennett and student aids. Sat
urday evening the new class was
entertained by a dance in the class
room building and music by the
Sardams.
A worship service was held Sun
day morning in Howard Chapel by
velopment plan. Drawings for a new
art building and the first unit o,”
a new physical education plant are
well under w'ay.
Construction will begin in early
1965 and the dormitory is expected
to be ready for occupancy during
the summer or fall terms of 19G6
Chaplain Hensley, During the
afternoon, transfer students arrived
on campus but were settled in their
new homes in time to attend a very
gala reception at the home of Presi
dent and Mrs, Arthur D, Wenger in
the evening.
The very gracious hostess, Mrs,
Wenger, greeted her guests and in
turn introduced them to her hus
band which began the receiving line
of faculty and student officials. Re
freshments were served in the din
ing area and games were set up in

a request by the Board asking him
' to bring to the attention of the Ad
ministrative Council the poor situa
tion of telephones in the Men’s and
