Professor Sharp Lashes Out At
Indifference Of ACC Students
By DR. ALL.AN K. SHARP
There are some lines from
■‘Tlie Scholar Gypsy” by Mat
thew Arnold that haunt me.
Invitations are now being sent |
to parents of all Atlantic Chris
tian College students
them to attend the college’s fifth
annual Parents’ Day to be held
on Sunday, Feb. 6.
Registration is to begin at 9:30
a.m. Parents have been invited
to attend morning worship ser
vices at churches in Wilson with
their sons and daughters. They
will be guests at a luncheon to
be held in the college gymnas
ium shortly after noon.
Open house is scheduled for
the afternoon at which time they
will have the opportunity to
tour the campus and meet mem
bers of the college faculty and
administrative staff.
One of the main highlights of
the day will be an afternoon
reception at the home of Presi
dent and Mrs. Arthur D. Wen
ger, Students whose parents at
tend the day’s activities are in
vited to attend the luncheon and
reception.

For whom eich y^'ar we see

And bse tomorrow the ground won

Sometimes I wonder if M-tthew
Arnold didn’t have some asso
ciation with an inst’tution like
Atlantic Christian College. It is
the last line that really disturbs
me for I feel that the general
apathy displayed by students
(and some faculty too) is losing
the ground tomorrow that was
won today.
Those of us who have been
privileged to spend some years 1 ,, „ . , ,
aware of the Problem? I have a few sugges-
has made it pos.sible for us to be
here today. Their legacy has
been one of greatness of spirit.
A.C.C. was their school! But
what happened to this deep and
abiding love and loyalty for the
alma mater? Where oh where
has it gone? Has it gone the
way of all flesh?
What brings on th^s outburst of
indignation, you ask? I’l! be glad
to tell you.
It is not any one thing but a
conglomeration, all of which are
symptomatic of what is happen
ing. It is students who pretend
a new kind of sophistication but
who are really uncommitted to
anything or any cause. It is
empty seats at ball games, con
certs, drama productions. It is
students “who are neither hot
nor cold”, students whose lives
are lived in “neither praise no»-
blame.”
What can be done with our
at A.C.C. are
ground gained by those who have
gone on before us and at some
considerable cost to them too.
Faith in an institution and the
willingness to sacrifice for it

off to any .serious Etude:it but the
serious student a.sks quest'ons,
he participates, he disagrees, he
challenges, and he grapples with
ideas.
Second, a sttidcnt admitted
here is not Just admitted to the
c)a.ssroom but to the total com-
nnunity life of the college. Extra
curricular education is as much
a part of the educational process
as is tile classroom. One may
not be a sports enthusiast but
to be sure he must like some
thing — art, drama, music. If
one doesn’t like any of these he
has no right to call himself an
educated person.
Third, students should beg!n to
think in terms of committing
themselves to something. Ife as
we know it is the result of deep
commitment on the part of a lot
of people to whom w2 owe a
great deal. If our children, and
their children are to enjoy this
rich heritage we must commit
ourselves wholeheartedly to this
cause of education and leave our
contribution just as our ancestors
have left theirs.

determined that this was mainly
a problem of student morale

that the Board grant the commit
tee some funds so that more re
cords for the cafeteria could be
purchased.

Delta Zeta Will Sponsor
Pine Knot Dance Jan. 28
By LAURA WOLFE
It is again time to mark your
calander for a exciting and mem
orable event is approaching.
This wonderful event is the an
nual Pine Knot Dance. The dance
will be sponsored by the 'fhata
Omega Chapter of Delta Zeta
Sorority,
This dance will be held on
Friday, January 28, 1966 im
mediately following semester
break and beginning of second
semester. It is to be conducted
at the classroom building lobby
during the hours of eight and
twelve. Dress for this occasion
will be semi-formal.
Tickets, which will be on sale
in advance, are two dollars per
couple and one dollar and a
quarter per stag. With the prices
as they are, the question may
arise — Who is providing the
music? This year, the Pine Knot
dance was lucky in contracting
the Cavaliers, a group of high-
ragarded singers from Dunn,
N. C. The Cavaliers have pro
vided background music for Mar
tha and the Vandelles on sev
eral occasions and they have
thrilled and sernaded many au
diences with their cool songs
and crazy beat. The complete
set up will revolve around the
theme of the Mardi Gras with
plenty of decorations conveying
the theme.
The whole highlight of this
dance will be the crowning of the
Miss Pine Knot. The candidates
for this laurel will be presented
during chapel on Thursday, Jan
uary 27. The winner of this
event will be crowned at in
termission of the dance. Voting
takes place in the Classroom
Building lobby on Thursday, Jan-
ury 27 from 11:00 to 4:00 and
continues on Friday from 8:00
to 4:00.
The Freshman Class has
named its candidate to be Lynda
Carr, a freshman from Farm-
ville. Bobbie Ellis, a sophomore
from Wilson, is the Sophomore
Class’s candidate for Miss Pine
