Executive Board during their
May 2 called meeting was the
following resolution presented by
Kay Antone:
Whereas: Mister Wilber Out
law, an alumnus of .Atlantic Chris
tian^ College has pubhshed his
findings of an investigation of
Dr. C. H. Hamlin, professor of
Social Science at .Atlantic Chris
tian College, and
Whereas: “The Public Record
of Dr, C. H. Hamlin” by Mister
Wilbur Outlaw is being used to
imply that Dr. Hamlin is -a sup
porter of Communist front or
ganizations, and
Whereas: This public record
has been sent to distinguished
individuals of influence in an at
tempt to discredit Dr. Hamlin,
Therefore: Be it here resolved
by the Executive Board of .At
lantic Christian College that
Section I Dr. Hamlin, distin
guished professor of Social
Science at .Atlantic Christian Col
lege, is an upright and moral
individual who has consistently
supported his principles of peace
and love for his fellow man.
Section II The attacks and ac
cusations implying that Dr. Ham
lin is a Communist is seemingly
obsurd and are not in accord
with his past service to .Atlantic
Christian College and to the
world at large.
Section III Let it also be known
that the implications of Mister
Wilbur Outlaw, that affiliation
with any particular political or
ganization economic, social or
religious as grounds for dismissal
from the faculty are considered
to be an affront to higher educa
tion and an attack on the funda
mental principles of academic
freedom.
Section IV Let it also be known
that copies of this resolution be
sent to faculty, administration.
WIV.,
Wilbur Outlaw.
Heated Debate
Debate on the question was
heated, Joe Harwood read a state
ment on behalf of SG.A vice
president ,A1 Cooke which said
that he believed the question too
unimportant to merit the at
tention oi the Board. “Dr. Ham-,
lin is in no jeopardy,” Cooke
said, “He needs no defense; least
of all ours.” Another dissenting
opinion was expressed by Eddie
Capel, who said, “I was not im
pressed by the report. I don’t
think we should stick our necks
out on the matter."
In support of the measure, Kay
Watson declared “I feel that the
express
self on this or any matter.”
Kay Antone said, “Student apa
thy has been a big problem on
this campus. This at least takes
a stand on the issue,” Ken
O’Connell took another viewpoint.
“I feel that the best thing to
do would be to ignore the prob
lem. Outlaw and his kind thrive
on publicity.” The motion was
defeated by a five to four vote.
Orientation

reported on his committee’s find
ings on a review of freshmen
orientation procedures. Individual

T-'ie question for this week is:
Do you think the Executive
Board should have supported tl'.e
resolution concerning Dr, Ham
lin? (This resolution appears in

Executive Board nneeting. > In a

By JOYCE COPELAND
Fantastic is too small a \vor3
to describe the recent concert
presented by the Lee Evans Trio.
Three musical geniuses display
ed t'leir unbelivable talent to
a fairly large audience who de
manded two encores.
The trio began with a medley
from ‘The Nutcracker Suite." A
jazzed up version of “The W’ay
You Look Tonight” followed.
Many other show tunes and pop
ular compositions held the audi
ence spellbound.
A medley from “West Side
Story ” was the most impressive
production of ('le evening, Ev
ans’ own composition, “Teachers’
Biues,” concluded the scheduled
program. But the audience was
not satisfied with that. Two more
tunes were presented including
“The Theme from Hurry Sun
down.
Three great musicians left
their audience with an evening
to be remembered.
