At the April 23 meeting of the
SGA Executive Board, President
Wilkins appointed the following
who were approved by the
Board: A1 Cooke, Campus
Awareness Committee chair
man, and Doug Umphlett, En
tertainment Committee chair
man.
However, there was objection
to Wilkins’ appointee for Student
Co-ordinator, Harold Herring.
Jim Abbott led the opposition,
stating that Herring has never
lived on campus. Abbott went on
to say, “By appointing Mr.
Herring, we may be appointing a
person who is biased concerning
an organization (Young
Americans for Freedom) which
has twice tried to gain
recognition on our campus.”
David Finch replied that
Herring is a hard worker and
reminded the Board Herring
would serve as a non-voter, so he
would be in no position to push
any organization through.
Shortly thereafter, Abbott
announced, “This is a filibuster.”
For the next forty-five minutes
until adjournment, Jim Abbott,
Debbie Hayman, and Joyce
Copeland held the floor, reading
U.S. census reports, women’s
rules and the like.
During the ordeal, Wilkins
remarked that the filibuster was
delaying legislative process and
declared “I (sic) do not have to
ever recognize you on the floor
again.” Abbott asked Wilkins,
“Would you consider another
appointment?” Wilkins re,lied
that he would not. Amid charges
of “lack of self-confidence” and
“attempting to show political
ability,” Abbott and company
continued their play for time until
adjournment.

Greek Week ’69 was opened
with a smash on Thursday, April
20th when the pledge class of
Sigma Phi Epsilon sponsored a
pie throw. Upon paying a small
fee, any brother or pledge could
have been the target for a well
aimed lemon pie.
Thursday evening brought
many frantic weeks of
preparation to a climax as the
annual Greek sing was presented
in Howard Chapel. Songs were
offered from each fraternity and
sorority plus additional talent
selections which varied from
conventional folk songs to
popular rock “n” roll.
Friday afternoon was spent in
preparation for the evening’s
activities which included pop
singer Arthur Connely in a
concert-dance at the Frontier
Inn. Arthur sang all of his hit
recordings which provided
splendid entertainment although
it did not last as long as expected.
On Saturday afternoon the
Greeks participated in a party
held for the children at the
Eastern Carolina School for the
Deaf.
The Awards Supper was held
Saturday evening with barbecue
supplied by the Barbecue Barn.
On this occasion it was an
nounced that the Sorority
division, Tri Sigma and Phi Mu
won the Greek sing and the talent
awards, respectively. In the
fraternity division, Alpha Sigma
Phi captured the honors for both
the Greek sing and the talent. The
scholarship trophy was awarded
to Sigma Phi Epsilon for at
taining the highest Fraternity
average on campus.
Following the Awards Supper,
the fraternities held separate
parties, thus bringing another
successful Greek Week to a close.
Tri Sigma observed their
annual Founder’s Day on April 20
with a luncheon at the Hereford
Room. President Judy
Youngblood, was presented with
the Woman of the Year Award
and Charlotta White Gault, the
Outstanding Pledge of the Year
Award. Alumni Advisor Annette
Glover, announced at the lun
cheon that the Gamma XI
Chapter at A.C.C. has won the
National Chapter Examination
Award for 1969. The Examination
cup is awarded each year to the
Sigma Chapter that scores the
highest on the Annual Chapter
Examination.
SGA President Joe Wilkins
gaveled the April 24 meeting of
the Eexecutive Board to order
and announced that the first
portion of the meeting would be
conducted in closed session.
When observers were allowed to
re-enter the chamber, the Board
was already in new business.
Through interviews with
anonymous Board members, it
was learned that three matters of
business were considered during
the closed session. The Board’s
Rules of Procedure were passed
to include a rule limiting debate
to five minutes per person, per
issue. Harold Herring’s appoint
ment as Student Co-ordinator
was put back on the floor for
approval. Joyce Copeland gave
justification for the previous
night’s filibuster saying that the
trio used it to show the strength of
their feeling that someone other
than Herring should be con
sidered. With sufficient votes for
Herring’s approval negative vote
was not called for, and Herring’s
appointment was final. David
Finch, IFC president, was also
seated without vote due to the
fact that his grades are not in
keeping with constitutional
requirements.
With the Board once again in
open session, Ken O’Connell
moved to adopt a resolution
which was read by Rick Stewart.
The resolution stated that Byron
Wyndham had “allowed his name
and former position to be used in
a public statement of an ex
tremely radical nature.” In this
regard the resolution stated that
Wyndham had “tarnished the
image and diminished the good

business, the Assembly approved
the new three-year members of
the Board of Trustees for A,C.
According to the Charter of
Atlantic Christian College,
nominations for members of the
Board of Trustees must be made
by the existing board, and ap
proved or disapproved by the
Church Assembly. The Assembly
itself cannot submit nominations.
A1 Cooke, former SGA Vice
President, attained the floor and
spoke extemporaneously con
cerning the Board of Trustees,
and addressed himself par
ticularly to the point of student
representation on the board,
Cooke mentioned that, because of
age, etc,, it is difficult for
members of the board to
establish rapport with the
students. Cooke also pointed out
that student members on the
board might help to alleviate this
problem. Cooke went on to inform
the Assembly that in the recent
SGA elections on campus, both
presidential candidates stated in
their platforms that they sup
ported having a student on the
Board of Trustees, and that a
record-breaking 900 students took
part in the election and voted for
this and other changes, ad
vocated by the candidates.
Following Cooke’s remarks.
Dr. Arthur Wenger spoke to the
delegates concerning the Charter
of the college which stipulates
that members of the board must
