after the revolution that swept the campus last week. This aerial
view of the campus is resentative of the general scene which
confronted students upon their renturn from spring break.

that we owe a great debt of

V-P Visits ACC
By JIM ABBOTT
The man whose name has
become more than just a
household word in recent months
was the guest speaker at
Tuesday’s convocation
program. Vice President Spiro
Agnew made what he termed, “a
most satisfactory visit to a
school that shows evidence of
great future potential as one of
our country’s educational in
stitutions.” He noted that he was
impressed with A.C. from the
start because it reminded him so
much of his own college days
during the 1930’s.
In opening his remarks the
Vice President accused the
Collegiate and the Sophomore
class radio program, Campus
Talk of, “ presenting campus
news in a flagrantly biased
manner.” He referred to in
stances in recent weeks con
cerning news coverage of the
SGA drinking proposal which
was defeated by the Trustees.
Agnew charged that the, “effete
corps of impudent student snobs
who write for the Collegiate and
Campus Talk failed to
adequately present the Trustee’s
reasons for defeating the
proposal.” It was Agnew’s
contention that the Trustees
were justified in their action.
“After all,” he said “why should
we adults share our intoxicants
with the young people when they
are so unwilling to share their
drugs with us?”
In moving onto other topics,
the Vice President commented
on the difficulty at A.C. in fin-
Best Body Receives
Hefner R ecognition
lixon Brings Word
Of University Status
By ROBERT KOELLING
The Atlantic Christian College
student body has been named as
“The Best Dressed and Most
Intelligent Student Body in the
United States,” according to a
recent poll taken by Playboy
magazine.
Hugh Hefner, who flew to AC
to present the award, asked Joe
Wilkins, president of the SGA,
how the ACC student body
managed to win this coveted
honor.
“All credit should be given to
the administration,” Mr.
Wilkins humbly replied. He went
on to explain the remarkable
events which culminated in the
highest awarded ever to be
received by an Eastei'n North
Carolina college.
It seems that the evening
before a difficult test, a P.E,
major was taking a break by
reading through the student
handbook. One statement caught
his eye. It said that “the clothes
people wear are indicators of
how ... knowledgeable they are.”
(p 14) This gave the student an
idea, so he quit studying and
went out and had a beer.
The next morning, however,
instead of dressing in his usual
sweat suit and tennis shoes, he
put on his special three-piece
Edwardian suit and tassel golf
shoes (without the cleats, of
course) and took his test. Much
to his surprise to got an A, which
was no mean feat considering
the test was a mid-term in
nuclear physics.
Soon word of this remarkable
event spread all over campus.

freaks who were in grade point
trouble shaved and cut their hair

Director Paul Crouch ad
mitted that he was somewhat
worried about casting these
shows. “After all,” he said, “we.
couldn’t even get enough people
to cast ‘The Taming of the
Shrew.’ ” Stage and Scropt is

and dressed in coats and ties.
Unfortunatly in re-entering
society their styles were out
dated, but nonetheless they all
pulled their grades up
tremendously.
Soon everyone began dressing
up for class, and intramural
fashion shows began to replace
intramural athletics. “The only
bad effect of all this,” lamented
Mr. Wilkins, “is that once
everyone started dressing up for
class the price of dressing for an
A escalated. It now costs around
$1,000 per semester to keep in
style. Right now a red brocade
tuxedo with pearl studs will get
an A for a boy, and the maxi coat
is a necessity for a girl to get
even a C.

ding qualified people to run for
SGA and class offices. Agnew
said he felt that “this was just
another indicagion that the
silent majority of young people
in this country are satisfied with
the way things are going.”
On the subject of student
protest, Mr, Agnew commended
the majority of A.C. students
andfaculty for,” “remaining
silent during recent months”
and he encouraged those in
atendance to “send their
complaints to their
Congressmen as this is by far the
most effective method of
registering dissatisfaction.”
In closing his remarks, the
Vice President expressed his
delight over the fact that his visit
to A.C. had not been marred by
the presence of numerous
“greasy, grimy, long haired
hippies.” He went on to say that
he hoped more schools around
the country will soon adopt some
of A.C.’s policies regarding
drinking and female regulation.
“I am confident,” he proclaimed
“that only through strict ad
ministrative control over the
lives of today’s high school and
college students can America
ever achieve its true potential as
the land of the free and the home
of the brave.”
Operation
To Change
Mrs. Ileda Spade, director of
the Student Union has recently
announced a new policy con
cerning all future activities of
the popular alumni-student
center. “Financial burdens have
caused the change,” says Mrs.
Spade. (I believe in calling a
speight a spade.)
Beginning next week, roulette
wheels, pool tables, crap tables,
and bingo (For money) tables
will be available to the students.
The new Director of College
Growth and Development will be
in charge of all of “gamboling”
facilities. Students must present
their athletic card and swear
that they are over twenty-one in
order to play these games of
chance. If they are not over
twenty-one, they can just swear.
“A continuing loss of money
by the Student Union has caused
this change,” said Mrs. Spade.
Ever since Clawd Moochum has
been handling the finances, the
Student Union has been
operating in the red. Only a
tremendous profit that had
accumulated previous to Mr.
Moochum’s treasurtship
prevented this change from
coming sooner.
Students are asked to make a
minimum of noise as they are
checking their mail, buying
books, or reading the paper. An
overplus of noise would interfere
with the bingo-caller and hence
delay the game. Student co
operation will be enlisted with
the aid of John Rich, who has
been assigned the job of student
bouncer. In order that absolute
quiet might be maintained the
juke-box and television set will
be removed from the Student
Union,
Students temporarily short of
money will be allowed to use
meal tickets up to a minimum of
$10.00. There will be no credit
extended said Mr. John Milton,
club cashier. Blue chips will sell
for $1,000, and red ones will not
be sold due to impending in
vestigations by the House Un-
American Activities Committee,
