Amendment Proposed
By AL COOKE
The Executive Board met
Monday, March 16 with Junior-
Senator Joyce Copeland
originating legislation to amend
the constitution. Miss
Copeland’s amendments would
make offices of the SGA more
easily attainable by students
who have transferred from other
colleges.
The constitution presently
requires that candidates for
president and vice-president
must have completed at least
two semesters of work at ACC. It
further stipulates that can
didates for president, vice-
president, secretary, and
treasurer must have a specific
minimum quality point average
in all work at ACC. Miss
Copeland’s amendments would
provide that a student could run
for president or vice-president if
he is enrolled in his second
Jerry Butler Concert
Will Be Held April 3
JBS minus 15 days or, in lay
terms, there are only 15 days
until ACC hosts the Jerry Butler
Show.
Jerry Butler IS coming and he
is bringing a show that is known
from England to the West Indies,
from Canada to Rocky Mount,
and on April 3 there should be no
doubt about his identity in
Wilson. The Butler Show will be
held in Wilson Gym beginning at
8:15. Tickets are now on sale for
$1.50 for students and $2.00 for
the public.
Butler’s success in the pop
music field began with “For
Your Precious Love” which he
did with The Impressions. Jerry
wrote the hit which won com
mendation from Broadcast
Music, Inc. In the fall of 1958, he
left the group to become a single
act. The 1962 song of the year
“Moon River,” from “Breakfast
at Tiffany’s” was made famous
by the “Iceman,”
Butler has written songs for
such recording greats as Jackie
Wilson, Count Basie, and Otis
Redding. He is also a producer
and owns two publiching com
panies. If you have heard
“Never Give You Up,” “Hey,
Western Union Man,” or “Only
the Strong Survive,” then you
have heard of Jerry Butler.

semester at ACC and that he
could run for president, vice-
president, secretary, or
treasurer on the basis of his total
average of work done at all
colleges regardless of ac
complishments at ACC. Both
amendments were passed.
Vice-president Joe Harwood
presented a “Statement of
Rights and Responsibilities of
Students” for study by the
board. The board intends to act
on it before expiration of their
terms of office.
A motion by Student Co
ordinator Harold Herring
provided the Entertainment
Committee with $1,500 from the
General Fund for the purpose of
holding another free dance in the
spring. The board also discussed
the lack of a qualified candidate
for Pine Knot editor but has
taken no official action to
resolve this situation.

In Memorium
A group of faculty members
and students has established a
Memorial Fund to honor the
memory of Mary Lyde Bird,
who died on March 6. Because
Mary worked in and loved the
library and because she was
infinitely helpful to faculty
and students alike, the fund
will be used to purchase a
special exhibits case which is
badly needed in our library.
The case will be inscribed with
a memorial plaque.
Contributions should be
given to Mr. Otis Coefield in
the library. Checks should be
made out to the Mary Bird
Memorial Fund.

“If you are planning your life
on the assumption that the world
of ten or twenty years from now
is going to closely resemble the
industrial society of today, you
may be making a serious
mistake.” This is the message
that Mr. Alvin Toffler related to
those in attendance at his convo
cation address on Tuesday. Mr.
Toffler, an author and business
consultant from New York was
sponsored by the Campus
Christian Association.
Mr. Toffler, a futurist himself,
began his lecture by defining the
futurists as, “those men and
women who devote their time to
thinking about the problems not
of next year or the year after
that, but of the next twenty or
thirty years.” He went on to say
that, “Never before in the
history of mankind have we
experienced such a rapid rate of
change as we are at the present
time. As a result of this rapid
change a new type of society has
been created,” said Toffler. This
new society is characterized
first of all, by speed and imper
manent relationships. Secondly,
it is characterized by novelty
and thirdly by the diversity
found in our life styles and the
options open to us.
To adapt to this new society,
Toffler warned that, “We must
challenge one of the great
stereotypes of social thinking
during the last fifty years i.e.,
that the future holds for us a
world in which all of us will form
a gray, faceless mass of or
ganization men in which all of us
have fewer and fewer options
open to us, in short a skind of
Orwellian future which has been
