The newly elected 1970-71 SGA
Executive Board met for the
first time Monday night to begin
its official year of legislative
activity. Presiding over the
meeting was President Joe
Harwood who welcomed the new
board and expessed his hope that
the coming year would be a
fruitful one. Harwood then read
a letter from Dean Whitehurst
which revealed that Atlantic
Christian has been added to the
list of colleges waiting to appear
on the GE College Bowl.
The letter went on to announce
that the Student Life Committee
has approved for a one year trial
period, the unchaperoned
visitation of girls in fraternity
houses. However, the letter
stipulated that visitation would
be allowed during certain hours
designated by the committee
and that the privilege would
begin next fall and would not be
extended to freshmen women. In
addition, parental permission
would be required for those girls

and the United Church of Christ
merged administration on their
programs in Latin America and
India.
Dr. Thomas received the B.A.
degree from Drury College and

with the honorary Doctor of
Divinity degree by Culver-
Stockton College in 1957.

skillfully the sounds of these
animals.

“Illumination of the Mind,” is
a four part rock concert which
will be presented in the Old Gym
at 8 p.m. on Monday, April 27.
The show, which is part of the
Student Contemporary Night,
was written and produced by two
A.C. students, Howard Martin,
a junior and Tom Albert, a sen
ior. Martin and Albert began
work on the show in December.
“The show started out to be a
religious piece,” said Martin,
“but now its just an example of
some creative effort.”
In producing the show, Martin
and Albert have enlisted ad
ditional assistance from both the
college community and from
Wilson. Assisting with the
production are Steve Bassett,
John Stout, Alan Powell, and
Grady Ormsby.
The performance will be
divided into two parts with the
first half featuring the “Martin
synthesizer,” a four-foot high
light box which Howard will use
to conduct in concert an
assortment of undesignated

musical instruments. Also in
cluded in the first half will be
selections by A.C. Students,
Diane Bishop, Adelle Miller, and
Ron Taylor.
The second part of the show
consists of a mixture of the
Martin and Albert rock music
combined with lyrics which tell
the story of people trying to find
themselves and find out what
they are in the world today. At
one point a play entitled, “Well
Here We Are” which was written
by Grady Ormsby, a Darden
High School English teacher,
will be inserted into the per
formance.
In discussing the concert
Martin said, “The show is
unique because its the first real
original rock ever done by some
A.C. students.” He went on to
say that he expects student
criticism about the performance
because, “its just not the kind of
music that the majority of AC
students have been exposed to.”
Martin added that, “The show
will be dedicated to Conrad
Willis, the AC student whose
recent death has had a profound
effect on many students.”
All students and faculty are
invited to attend the per
formance, no admission will be
charged.
who make use of the visitation
opportunities.
One final point noted in the
letter was that in compliance
with a motion passed by the old
Executive Board, a stamp
machine has been placed at the
student center information desk.
Under the area of New
Business, Interdormitory
President, Sam Clarke moved
that the Executive Board
recommended to the Ad
ministrative Council that
Whitehead Annex be kept open.
In arguing for the motion,
Qarke noted that close bonds of
friendship exist between the
Annex residents and also that he
felt the option for low-cost
housing should be kept available
for students. Clarke also men
tioned that, “well over 100
students from the men’s dorms
had signed petititions supporting
the drive to keep the Annex
open.”
Dean Whitehurst explained to
the board that the decision to
close the Annex was made by the
Student Life Division about
three months ago both for
financial reasons and the lack of
sanitary conditions in the Annex.
Clarke then replied that he had
checked with both Dr. Wenger
and Milton Adams and they both
assured him that the Annex was
not a financial burden on the
college. “As for the unsanitary
conditions,” Clarke said, “the
maintenance department has all
but completely eliminated any
problems in that area.”
Dean Whitehurst then com
mented that he was not, “here to
debate with Mr. Qarke over the
issue. “The board then voted
and the motion was passed.
In other business, Rick
Stewart, Day Student President
moved that on Sundays the
library open at 3 p.m. instead of
6 p.m. This was also passed.
Stewart then announced that a
meeting to nominate candidates
for Day Student offices was held
Monday and the candidates are
for President — Bob Moore and
Rick Stewart; for Senator, Rudy
Farmer, and Bert Crawford.
The board then gave
authorization for the Day
Student elections and the
elections to approve the recently
passed constitutional am-
mendments to be held this
Thursday and Friday.
Following several an
nouncements, the board ad
journed.
