assistance. Nearly 300 volunteer workers comprised of local alumni, faculty, staff members and
■students of the college are taking part in the project. As of Tuesday night, some $16,491 in pledges
had been received.

The administration has an
nounced that beginning next
semester, a new chapel system
will be initiated. The new sys
tem, finalized at a June meet
ing of the Joint Student-Faculty-
Administration Committee on
Chapel and Assembly, was of
ficially approved at the Board
of Trustees’ meeting here last
week.
The committee, appointed by
President Arthur D. Wenger and
referred to in the “Report on
Chapel Study” made by the
President to the Board of Trust
ees, met on June 1 and 2 to
implement the overarching pur
poses of the college in some
type of program worthy of ex
posure to and confrontation by
the student body.
The plan was then approved
by the Administrative Council
and presented to the Board of
Trustees. The new chapel sys
tem, though going into effect
next semester, will not become
fully complete until next year,
due to already set dates for con
certs. However, the new rules
and regulations will be enforced
next semester.
According to the new plan, a
series of Convocations would be
scheduled for the entire student
body on Tuesdays at 11 a. m.
in the new Wilson Gymnasium.
Fall Schedule
The fall schedule will have
three pointedly religious convo
cations under the leadership of
the Chaplain of the College, one
convocation presented by the
Campus Christian Association, a
President’s Convocation, two con
vocations presented by the Con
cert and Lecture Committee, one
convocation presented by the
Campus Awareness Committee,
one convocation presented by the
Student Government Association,
and two departmental meetings.
The convocations for fhe spring
will follow the general pattern
of the fall except there will be
three Concert and Lecture con
vocations, only one departmental
meeting, and an Honors Day
convocation to be held in place
of the President’s Convocation.
Therefore, the total program
ming will allow for 11 convoca
tions each semester.
Thursdays
Thursdays at 11 a. m. there
will be programs called Con
versations. These programs will
be structured with the idea in
mind that any segment of the
college community which on
their own initiative wished to
develop a particular program,
discussion, concert, etc. for any
one interested could do so by
scheduling a place on campus
for their meeting.
Convocation programs will be
“of such nature as to require
the presence of the students,”
for the purpose of confronting

A resolution to petition the
City of Wilson to close seg
ments of two streets on the
College’s campus was adopted
by the Board of Trustees during
their Oct. 25 meeting.
The petition asks for the clos
ing of Gold St. from its inter
section with Dean St. to its
intersection with Whitehead
Ave.; and Rountree St. from
its intersection with Woodard
Ave. to its intersection with
Gold St. The college owns all
property bordering these street
segments.
The college seeks to have the
streets closed because long range
plans for campus development
indicate the desirability of de
veloping a pedestrian campus
in the interest of student safety
and esthetic value.

Dr. Arthur D. Wenger, presi
dent of the college, in his an-
naul report, advised the Board
of Trustees of increased interest
in a collegiate nursing program
at Atlantic Christian College.
Through the proposed program
a person would meet all the
general college requirements in
addition to professional nursing
requirements. The program
would provide for granting a
bachelor of science degree and
a registered nursing certificate
upon successful completion.
For many years the college
has cooperated with the Wilson
School of Nursing by offering
certain courses to nursing train
ees. This was not a degree
program and resulted in a regis
tered nursing diploma upon com
pletion of the course.

Dr. Wenger stated the Curricu
lum Committee of the college
faculty has studied the proposed
addition to the curriculum and
regards it as being consistent
with the college’s overall aims
and objectives. Since the
program would have far-reach
ing implications for the college,
a feasibility study has been
planned and will be conducted
by a committee representing the
college faculty, administration,
key medical and health interests
in the community and the ACC
Board of Trustees.
Dr. J. P. Tyndall, chairman
of the Department of Science,
