The SGA building fell this week
to a bulldozer’s shovel. Most of
the campus watched with apathy
— if they even noticed. Some
watched with pleasure, and a few
with sadness.
As one who watched with
sadness I find it difficult to write
without becoming sentimental.
Perhaps this seems ridiculous.
The place was a dump. No other
words can adequately describe it.
The floor sagged in places and
eventually gave way in one
section. Large holes gaped in the
hall wall. (A tradition started by
the president of the 67-68 SGA
who kicked a hole in the wall
every time he became
frustrated). Trash engulfed most
of the offices (at least those
Literary Achievements
Published In Crucible
Prose contest winners
represented are Prof. Thomas
Walters of the Department of
English, N. C. State University;
and Heni Ruggers, a Raleigh
housewife who has published
extensively. The prize money for
the contest was a grant from the
North Carolina Arts Council.
Because of the quantity of
literature, the art content in the
spring edition is less than usual.
It includes a portfolio of drawings
by Joseph Clower, professor of
art. University of Colorado; and
an assembleable mobile sculp
ture by Edward C. Brown,
associate professor of art at ACC.
The North Carolina Arts
Council has announced a grant of
$1,000 for 1969-70 to the
“Crucible.”
The spring issue of “Crucible,”
a magazine of creative ideas is
now available. The magazine is
published biannually by the
Departments of Art and English
at Atlantic Christian College.
The spring issue includes work
by some of the literary prize
winners from the Crucible
Literary Contest which recently
ended. The work of other winners
will be printed in the fall edition.
Poetry winners represented in
the spring editions are Juanita
Tobin, supervisor of psychiatric
nursing at Dorothea Dix
Hospital; John J. Justice, of the
Durham Development
Organization; and Rebekah
Jenkins, an art student at
Atlantic Christian.
which were used more than once
a month.) There was no running
water or bathroom facihties.
Heat came from little gas heater
which could not be left burning
because of the fire hazard. More
than one day in cold weather
water left in cups in the offices
would be found with a layer of ice
over it. The window in the Pine
Knot office had a hole in it pat
ched by masking tape which had
been varnished to weatherproof
it. The Collegiate office suffered
broken glass also, but the staff
just shoved the end of a drape in
it to cut the flow of warm air out
of the building.
Yet for some it was a second
home. The walls of the Collegiate
and Pine Knot offices were
painted with various slogans —
most of which do not bear
repeating. Many a long hour was
put in over a drawing board,
adding machine, or typewriter.
Some people were really fond
of the dump. To those who knew
the building it was ironic when
thieves broke down the back door
to the Collegiate office and stole
two typewriters. Everyone knew
that the back door was the only
door of the three to the office that
would lock.
Anti~Winter
Sentiments
Expressed
By LYNN JOHNSON
Spring, when a student’s
thoughts turn lightly to term
papers they have put off all
winter. When the “Barren
Fountain” in front of the Student
Union is suddenly fruitful with
waders, splashers, goldfish and
red dye. When every bench is
filled with students talking,
laughing, or simply sitting. When
male students find all sorts of
excuses to go down Vance Street
to admire the scenery. When
skirts become shorter, to the
obvious distraction of the
teachers and students alike.
When previously unpopulated
tennis courts become crowd
scenes. When red faces do not
necessarily denote em
barrassment. When secretaries
smile sweetly and inform you
that you have been closed out of
five classes. When professors
smile sweetly and tell you there is
no hope for a “C”. When beaches
are more alluring than books,
sunshine more inviting than
shadowy dorms, bright colored
cottons more eye-pleasing than
drab woolens. When students
plan for graduation, for
marriage, for jobs, or for just
loafing the summer away. When
the halls reverberate with
“Who’s teaching Western Civ in
summer school?” Spring, a
capricious flirt who promises
summer sun and delivers
showers, a tempermental lass
who blows hot one day and cold
the next. Spring, the season that
comes just when one more day of
winter would bring mass suicide.

The North Carolina Arts
Council, established for the
purpose of encouraging the arts
in this state, has made similar
grants to a number of “httle
magazines” and college-
connected publications. Edgar B.
Marston III, executive director of
the council, states that the inten
of the grants is “to discover and
encourage new writing talent and
to support publication of more
work by talented North Carolina
writers.”
