edition of the Collegiate. The

Two Trips
Are Taken
By WILBUR HARDY
“The Psychology Department
is attempting to upgrade and
unify the psychology curriculum
so that it will be more ad
vantageous to those students
participating in it.” This was the
statement given by Grant
Folmsbee in discussing two field
trips that majors and minors in
the Psychology Department took
recently.
The first was a trip to Rich
Square to visit the “Family
Development f’roject,” being
operated by the Radio Cor
poration of America.
The first of the Family
Development Project is to
upgrade the work skill, family
life and community participation
of selected low-income families
from a four-county area in
Northeastern North Carolina.
The families involved in this
project live in mobile homes in a
small village and attend classes
in workshops given over to
building construction, welding
and automotive mechanics. The
women spend one-half of each
day in home economics classes
including child care, budgeting
and community relationship.
Basic academic courses are

Campaign
Committee
Confronted
By JOYCE COPELAND
Campaigns were not the only
business of the March 12
Executive Board meeting
although they occupied the
majority of the board’s time.
Financial affairs in coming
elections and a proposed voter
registration program rounded
out the political fanfare.
Sophomore Senator Kay
Watson proposed a motion that
all future campaigns be
restricted to $50.00 and that a
validated record of all expendi
tures be presented to the board
immediately after the elections.
Miss Watson noted that N.C.S.U,
used this $50.00 limit in their
presidential campaigns.
Kenneth O’Connell, upcoming
SGA treasurer, told the board
that this is not N.C.S.U. He
'condemned $50.00 as a ridiculous
figure. No way to control the
money was apparent to O’Con
nell.
Tom Aycock pointed out that
such a situation might curb en
thusiasm. Miss Watson assured
the plan would help bring about

By JIM ABBOTT
The Psychology department
has recently instituted a new
course and a new dimension to its
curriculum. The course is
Psychology of Social Work and it
is directed toward the junior and
senior level.
In discussing the course, Larry
Whitlock, assistant professor of
Phsychology said that, “it was a
valuable addition to the
curriculum of Atlantic Christian
and that the course fits in well
with the present trend of colleges
to get students out of the,
classroom and into the actual
field of social work.” He added
that, “Half of the students time
would be spent in the classroom
and the other half in the field.
The main objectives of the
course are two-fold; to give the
students an opportunity to see
what is available in the field of
helping agencies; and to work
towards the fulfillment of the
demands for social workers in
North Carolina.
Correspondence
Whitlock has received
correspondence from several
graduate schools in North
Carolina asking for students
qualified in this area to fulfill
vacant positions in their graduate
programs.
The course doesn’t cost the
college any extra money because
the professors are provided by
the different helping agencies in
the state such as the Department
of Vocational Rehabilitation, the
Department of Mental Health,

Biafra Week
Is Declared
This week has been selected as
“Aid to Biafra Week” on our
campus and we have until Friday
to raise as much money as we
possibly can, it has been reported
by tU Cooke. Every dollar, every
dime, every penny that you put in
one of the coffers around campus
helps to keep someone alive,
Cooke stated.
Biafra is a small Nigerian
province desperately involved in
the struggle for independence.
Since May of 1967 many Biafrans
have been murdered in this -
genocidal war than in Hitler’s
concentration camps. Many of
these deaths has been due to the
English blockade which
surrounds Biafra, prohibiting
food from entering the starving
country.
The pleas issued by Biafrans
for outside assistance have been
well received in the U.S. In fact
the Catholic Relief Agency has
forwarded over one million
dollars worth of supplies to
Biafra; and over four hundred
and fifty tons of food per day is
being shipped to that country.
However, this is inadequate.
