NUMBER SIX
Trustees Pass SGA Admendment
Blotter Act
Disapproved
A letter received from the Ad
ministrative Council concerning
the 1965 Blotter Act was read
to the Board last Monday night.
The Council recommended to the
Board that it re-examine (1) the
role of The Collegiate and the
Pine Knot in selling advertise
ments to the local merchants,
and (2) the overall college solici
tation of Wilson merchants. The
Council indicated that it did not
approve of the project.
In other matters, David Webb
announced that equipment was
available for the showing of
campus movies. He stated that
Dean Bennett had a list of possi
ble movies and that action was
being taken on this project.
In new business John Gorham,
student coordinator, moved that
ACC remain affiliated to NSA.
The motion passed.
Dean Bennett stated that the
USO at Camp Lejeune in Jack
sonville, N. C. was conducting
a drive in order to collect paper
back books for U. S. soldiers in
Viet Nam. He stated that ACC
had been asked to participate in
this project. Larry Poore, presi
dent of Men’s Dorm, moved that
a committee be formed in order
to deal with this project. The
motion passed, and Poore was (
made chairman of the commit
tees.
John Gorham moved that an
NSA committee be established in
order to assist the coordinator in
conducting NSA affairs on cam
pus. The motion stated that the
committee woui'd be chaired by
the student coordinator and that
members would be appointed to
the committee by the coordina
tor. Dean Bennett opposed the
motion because, he said that the
coordinator could not make
such a motion since such action
would be unconstitutional be
cause the position of the stu
dent coordinator of the Exec.
Board is unconstitutional. He
pointed out that the constitution
has made no provisions for the
office of student coordinator and
his position on the Board.
Dean Bennett stated that in no
way was he speaking personally
against John Gorham, the cur
rent coordinator.
Cookie Wickham, vice presi
dent, moved that the motion
be admended by making the
committee a special committee.

tion on the matter. The Admend
ment passed which was followed
by the passing of the motion.

These brief periods of medita

to retreat from the campus rat

contemplation.
It is hoped that many stu

this chance to fulfill an often-
expressed need of students on
the ACC campus. Next week’s
service will be conducted by the
Baptist Student Union.

NSA Report Reconimends
Continued ACC Affiliation
The following report was pre
sented to the Executive Board
Monday night by Dr. William 0.
Pausell, chairman of the com
mittee:
The National Student Associa
tion Study Committee, commis
sioned by the president of the
Cooperative Association to study
the continuing membership of At
lantic Christian College in the
National Student Association, held
meetings on October 11,20, and
27. At the last two meetings,
members of the student body
who had actively participated
in National Student Association
appeared before the committee
and expressed their feelings
about the value of National Stu
dent Association.
The two main objections to Na
tional Student Association ap
peared to be;
1. National Student Association
membership does not sufficiently
benefit our student body to justi
fy the cost and effort involved
in it.
2. Speakers at National Stu
dent Association meetings and
resolutions passed at national as
semblies are sometimes in di
rect conflict with the opinions
of some Atlantic Christian Col
lege Students.
On the positive side, the fol
lowing items were noted:
1. National Student Association
appears to be the most represen-
tiative national student organiza
tion.
j 2. Regional and national meet-
iings have provided good oppor-
jtunities for contact with student
leaders of other schools.
3. Regional and national meet
ings have provided and promot
ed a large number of ideas
which would be beneficial to our
student government.
4. Specific National Student As
sociation programs would appear
to be beneficial to out students
if the student government could
take advantage of them.
5. Membership in National Stu
dent Association does have some
public-relations value in that stu
dents from other colleges are
made aware of the existence of
Atlantic Christian College.
The Committee felt that the
difficulty of relating National
Student Association to our cam
pus was not the fault of National
Student Association; it was the
fault of our student leadership
and the system under which we
operate.
After carefully studying the
problem and consulting with stu
dent leaders experienced in Na
tional Student Association, the
Committee recommends that At
lantic Christian College should
continue its membership in the
National Student Association.
Serving on this Committee
were: James Coile, John Gor
ham, Fred Snodgrass, David
Hales, Brent HiU, and Naomi
Holt.
Coop Bt'ooiiies A
Student Governineiit
The Board of Trustees approv
ed the SGA admendment Wed
nesday of last week during its
regular October meeting. The ad
mendment changes the name of
the Cooperative Association to
the Student Government Associa
tion, and officially recognizes the
existance of a student govern
ment.
In a letter received by David
Webb, president of the student
body, from Dr. Wenger, presi
dent of ACC College, it was
pointed out that the Board of
Trustees made explicit “. . .the
fact that approval of the pro
posed change in the present
constitution of the Cooperative
Association does not in any way
change the areas of responsibili
ty or the delegation of authori
ty enjoyed by the Association un
der its present constitution.”
Responding to the passage of
the admendment, David Webb
made the following statement;
“I am delighted with the action
taken by the Board of Trustees
of Atlantic Christian College for
their approving the constitutional
admendment, that is, the chang
ing from a Cooperative to a
Student Government Association.
This action is, of course, gratify
ing to me personally and our
present Executive Board, as well
as those student leaders and
members of the Constitution and
By-Laws Committee who togeth
er worked hard and diligently
for this accomplishment. I think
special praise should be extended
to Mr. Lee Horne, last year’s
student body president, for he
was very much in favor of the
change and was one of those stu
dent leaders who took an ac
tive interest in it.
“Our new Student Government
Association, replacing the Co
operative Association, will give
students more freedom in govern-
:n" student affairs. But this de
cision, passed down to us by the
Trustees, also carries with it a
great deal of confidence and re
sponsibility in each of us. If
we demonstrate that we can
bear this confidence and respon
sibility wisely, then, the govern
ing b(Klies of Atlantic Christian
will not regret their resolution
and will give us more control
over our affairs. I sincerely hope
that each of us will be proud of
new achievement and will work
to improve it and make it more
active in our daily progress and
development.”
New Housing^
Regulations
The Board of Trustees has
approved a revision of the col
lege housing regulations during
its meeting last week. The basic
change in the regulations will
make room for special provisions
not provided for at this time.
The basic feature of the new
regulations read as follows:
“Fulltime male and female stu
dents 21 years of age and older,
who are unable to secure col
lege housing, may request per
mission from the Dean of Men
of Women to make their own
housing arrangements. Requests
for such permission must be
made prior to the beginning of
the semester.”
The new regulations provide
for two major changes, (1) it
permits students over 21 to live
in apartments with permission,
and (2) for the first time it al
lows women over 21 to live off
campus.
It has been emphasized that
this change does not mean that
students living off campus are
exempt from the social regula
tions of the coJlege.
The new regulations will go
into effect next September.
