What Will Happen?
Today the Board of Trustees had brought before
them the drinking proposal adopted by the Student
Government Association and by the time this newspaper
is released the results of their deliberation will probably
be common knowledge. Therefore it is necessary that
consideration be given to student reaction to the out
come, whatever it may be.
Let us suppose that the bill has been passed. If this be
the case then the majority of the students will be well
pleased, elated might be the word. Truly the students
will have something to be pleased about if they are
concerned about drinking and for those that are not
concerned about drinking they will probably be passive.
The Student Government Association will also be
delighted because for them this marks a successful start
on the road to social change; they will have fulfilled in
part the goal for which they have set forth. Never
theless, the students as a body must consider that if the
bill passes (or has passed) it has done so on the
assumption that the students are mature enough to
handle any situations that may arise concerning the use
of alcohol and accept the responsibility there included.
If some previous demonstrations of how responsibility is
accepted are to be followed as a model all should be
wary.
Assume that the bill has not passed the approval of the
Board of Trustees. What is the reaction to be? Will the
students rise up with a mighty cry of anguish attacking
the Board, the SGA, and the college? Let us hope not for
the sake of the future. The students must accept the fact
that such a delicate issue would be given proper con
sideration by the Board and that the pros and cons would
be carefully weighed before a negative vote would be
cast upon the students’ proposal. If the bill is rejected it
would be advisable for the student to allow time for an
evaluation of why it was thrown out before any
judgement is passed on Board, SGA, or college. Though
it would seem that there is no negative reasons for
rejection such an evaluation will be interesting.
Failure of passage surely could not fall on the Student
Government in light of the extensive work and
preparation of the bill including faculty polls and
student leader opinion. The bill goes out of their hands
when the bill is read to the Board unless something has
been overlooked and that would seem improbable.
Tabling of the issue would be the next possible out
come of the meeting. If the Board of Trustees table the
issue the student could assume that either the bill did not
reach the floor or that the Board felt that such a topic
demanded serious consideration and possibly furthur
study by the Board members themselves. If the second
reason for possibly tabling the motion would in fact be
the reason the students will be given at least some hope
for consequent passage at the spring session of the
Board.
All of these alternative, of course, are purely
projection into the possibihties, yet each deserves
consideration by the students. By now the results are
known — w^hat is the reaction?

Successful, definite credit to
ACC. It made people aware of
the situation. It showed AC to be
a place of true education by
being able to except other
people's ideas without violence.
K.W.H.
It was built up enough. The
reasons for failure are small
town ignorance, not enough
participation, and people are too
closed-minded.
R.W.L,
Xo success or failure, a bunch
of bull. I don't know what they
are trying to help.
E.D,
A success because with the
rush of college life, students
don't think enough about the
\'ietnam war. Most people don’t
stop to realize the seriousness of
the situation. Also the mourning
of the dead gives respect to those
who lost their lives for their
country.
P.L.
Definitely a success. It got the
students to thinking.
K.P.
It was pretty good, the service
that night was very impressive

and that it is our p 'cere desire
to build and maintain a true
Christian atmosphere here."
The motion passed. Abbott then
recommended that the
President of the Campus
Christian Association might be
the most appropriate person to
serve in the capacity of student
body Chaplain.
Abbott, in the second order of
new business moved that, "an
official photograph be made of
the entire Executive Board."
Abbott noted that A.C. needs to
build a record of its history, and
that the different SGA Executive
Boards have certainly con
tributed to the history and
changes here at A. C. Dean
Whitehurst commented that as
Alumni Director he had tried in
vain to find list of past Board
members. Jeff Chase remarked
that one of the student
photographers could take such a
picture at little or no cost. David
Finch remarked that there is a
tendency to "laugh" at an
tiquated pictures. Harold
Herring moved that the motion
be tabled until cost estimates
could be examined. The motion
passed.
The meeting was adjourned.

so that the teaching style of
the educator will correspond
with the learning style of the
child raised in a slum area.
4. A transitional program for
high school dropouts from
the world of school to the
world of work, helping to find
them a skill and a steady job,
then encouraging them to
continue their education at
special night classes.
5. Complete racial integration of
all public schools (which
includes getting white
students out of private
schools and placing them in
formerly all black schools in
their districts.)
In closing. Dr. Guines urged
all college students to become
cognizant of the problems facing
the cities today and to investi
gate the possibility of obtaining
jobs in the various fields of
social work.
