Financial Problems
Student organizations on the Atlantic Christian Col
lege campus are basically much the same as their brother
organizations on larger campuses. There is, however, one
great discrepancy that disjoins the uniformity of our
organizations and “theirs” — finances.
Student organizations on a campus of 1,500 cannot
hope for the budgets shared by similar organizations serv
ing on campuses of 9,000. Therefore, it is a "sine qua
non" for our service organizations to work on tight, often
impossible budgets. However, our student body has man
aged to cut corners since 1902 — and somehow survive
its financial problems.
Our 1967-68 campus organizations are in no less of
a delimna, nevertheless, than their predecessors. Our
organizations still lack the funds they need, and often
they are forced to abandon worthwhile projects and forget
high-aimed goals.
It is because of this shortage of green, negotiable
paper and black ink ledgers that our service groups gen
erally depend on some carry-over of funds from the
preceding year. The sum, though often small, is eagerly
taken account of and summarily used to pay bills, finance
publicity, help pay performers, lecturers, artists, etc.; and
to help round off the sharp corners of financial venturing.
We consider these "carry-overs" important to the in
dividual organizations and to the benefit of the student
body at large; and we were completely dismayed at
President Doug Dexter's recommendation to take the car
ry-overs from the service groups and deposit them into
one large Executive Board general fund.
It seems to us that such a recommendation could only
have been a hasty decision unfounded on facts and stu
dent government needs.
Each organization can use a carry-over to enlarge and
better their programs. If they decide to stretch out one
year's budget to cover a good calendar of events, then
any carry-over can be used to make the next year's pro
gram an even better one. The old saying, "money talks,"
could never be more applicable than to a small college's
service organization. The more money, the more there is
to put into the planned programs, the more there is to
pay for greater entertainers and lecturers, which yields
better programs resulting in students obtaining better
entertainment, better knowledge on varied subjects and
greater interests in student-aimed events.
Student organizations, therefore, can skimp along one
year to finance a better program the following year; be
cause, if the carryover is great enough, a better, more ex
pensive program will be possible.
Furthermore, the amount of carry-overs of each or
ganization is considered by the Student Government Asso
ciation in setting up each organization's budget each
year: thus, prohibiting too great of a stockpiling of funds
in any organization.
It should also be mentioned that the withdrawal of
carry-overs from the organizations will encourage hap
hazard spending. An organization could easily take the
attitude that they have been given a certain amount of
money for that year, then they must spend it. "After all,
it won't come bock to us," might well become the slogan
for the organizations. And when you get down to it, who
could really blame them if such a situation were to exist?

Dear Ekiitor:
Twiggy and the CSS (a satiri
cal cut) welcome weight watch
ers! Yes, fellow students ACC
is glad to offer you a fine and
unrivaled plan for losing weight.
We hope you will put this fine
plan to use often while enjoying
your college years at ACC.
This plan we refer to is some
what of a simple one in that
it employs the basic need in
weight losses. . .NOT EATING
FOOD! Thanks to the “Cater
Slatering Service” you will find
no real difficulties in not eat
ing. Why? Because there is no
real food! Good thinking huh?
The “Cater Slatering Service”
or the CSS as we will refer to
it henceforth, was brilliant
enough to realize that if no ac
ceptable food is available for
consumption, the overweights
won’t be able to eat at all!
Very smart CSS! The students
will seem to have thin, hollow
cheeks; vacancy now fills the
once sparkling eyes. . .but think
of the slim, underweight bodies!
Bingo, the pounds are gone in
a flash!
The men will, of course, love
the CSS for its aid to the Twig
gy Generation, as all of our
co-eds are letting their clothes out
here and there to allow for the
decrease in excess feminity.
Excess feminity, who ever heard
of such???
Perhaps the best aspect of the
CSS is in its low cost. Only
$175.00 will guarantee a weight
loss, whether you weigh 90 or
190 pounds. Just think of the
people who literally throw mon
ey away only to lose a pound
or two when you can lose
much, much more with CSS.
Sure, it is incredible but the
CSS does work! It worked at
N. C. State University in Ra
leigh. I know because I live
there and have seen enough
pretty co-eds lose enough excess
feminity to the point of resem
bling Twiggy to convince any
one. . .and men CS is working
on our coeds now! Soon ACC
will have dorms full of Twig-
gys; boy, that gives a guy a
chill to just think about the re
sponsibility. I’m convinced the
CSS is here to help the Twiggy
Generation. What do you think
men?

Dear Editor;
I must take exception to the
statement that this year’s fresh
man orientation program was a
success. In acuality, it seems
that “freshman orientation” is
only “freshman pre-registration.”
My objection centers around the
showing of the film “for the
purpose of getting freshman
acquainted with the idea of col
lege life.”
I carmot think of a more cold
and impersonal method of pre
senting college life to students
than through the film media.
It would seem to say that the
school doesn’t care enough about
you and your adjustment to this
college to really sit down and
talk with you about college life

quicker, more detached and
there is no possibility of ques

I hope that in four years
freshmen will catch on to what
college is all about—but, I doubt
it.

Dear Fellow Student,
As president of the Student
National Educational Associa
tion of Atlantic Christian Col
lege, may I extend a warm wel
come to you as well as a person
al wish that this will be the
most prosperous year of your
college career. After your days
as a college student, all of you
will seek a position in some pro
fession however varied the pro
fession may be. As a college
student considering the teaching
profession, you may not be as fa
miliar with the Student Educa
tion Association (S.N.E.A.) as
you should be. This is an or
ganization which has many ad
vantages to offer the prospec
tive teachers on our campus.
The purpose of this organiza
tion is to provide students going
into the teaching field with an
understanding of the profession
and to acquaint these future
teachers with the history, ethics,
organizations, politics and pro
grams of the local and national
education associations.
The advantage of being an
SNEA member are many. Mem
bers receive SNEA journals
monthly. This journal gives aU
the important educational devel
opments in the United States
and is often used by students
for class reports. Secondly, it is
virtually imperative that stu
dents seeking the teaching pro
fession become active SNEA
members while in college.
I shall look forward to meet
ing each of you personally at
our first meeting in October as
well as answering any questions
you may have about our col
lege chapter.
Cathy Pierce, President
ACC Chapter of S.N.E.A.
Dear Editor:
There was once a college stu
dent who went to class faith
fully every day. He never cut a
class for fear of losing that
morsel of education. He took ex
cellent notes.
As soon as practical after each
class he reviewed his notes and
carefully studied every possible
minute memorizing facts. By
day of the test he could aln
quite verbatim the lectures
had heard, Mien he received
A’s and B’s they reflected
degree of study which he
put into the course.
This student had a collej
who was not so avid in
study habits. He attended d
regularly with a minimum
cuts. He also took good m
but he also was quick to n
questions on points which m
quite clear in his understi
ing.
He presented other ideas
consideration. Between da
he enjoyed being with p«
He wasn’t overly conce
about his classes. He di(
great deal of procrastii!
with assignments. For a tes
usually only reviewed his i
briefly. His B’s and C’s
reflected the amount of tiro
had put into the course.
When the first student i
uates, his grade point ave
will perhaps fail in th«
range. The second student
probably be nearer a 2.2. B
seems that the student witi
lower average will be b
prepared for the adult woil
faces. His collegiate trans
will not reflect this prepara
but his ability to think and
derstand are much more
vanced than that of the |
student. '
