One Step Forward?
The good old Student Life Committee has done it
again. In taking a giant step forward toward social
progress, they have kicked true reform two steps to the
rear. The executive board under the Wilkin’s ad
ministration recommended allowing womens visitation
privileges in fraternity houses. This motion did not give
any reference to overnight visits although one would
seem to think this was the case in light of some reactions
to the bill.
The Student Life Committee has approved a
resolution permitting visitation for women in fraternity
on a one year trial basis. (See related article, page L)
The crusading committee did not; however, stop there.
In order to visit with the brothers a coed must be an
upperclassman. Recognizing the dire scandal this might
create, the committee added another stiuplation. The
young lady must have permission from mama and
daddy.
Students of Atlantic Christian College should be
extremely grateful for the great esteem and
wholehearted faith the Student Life Committee has for
their integrity.
Maybe the committee should take a int from Radford
College in how to go about getting parental permission
to visit fraternity men. Each year the Radford officials
send a form letter to parents of their budding young
debutantes explaining the birds, the bees, and VIP men.
Parents are well informed as to how the evil sex
maniacs from Virginia Tech lure their daughters to
some dark foreboding corner. The letter then provides
space for parents to give approval or disapproval for
their little angels to go away with the bid bad men from
Va. Tech.,
ACC, take heed! We are really falling behind. You
know that no one can trust a fraternity man. Isn’t it time
we really let loose and did some real reforming around
here. Most of the students here are at least 18 oyears old
and many are over 20. If this generation ever going to
learn to take on responsibility, now is the time.
Crude, Rude,.
Discourtesy is a fault that society frowns upon prob
ably as much, if not more, than any social evil that exist
today. If a person displays discourtesy in any form he is
labeled uncouth and undesireable. Thus the Atlantic
Christian College student body, when it comes to their
behavior in convocations may be termed “crude, rude,
and socially unacceptable.”
It is of course true that most all students are dis
content with the present convocation system, however
this does not justify the conduct that has been displayed
recently in various convocation meetings. During
convocations students sit reading their notes for their
next class, chat leisurely with the person beside them,
or mock the speaker. When a break comes in the
speaker’s deUvery everyone immediately looks up to
see if now is the time to make a mad dash for the nearest
exit. So was the case with the Pittsburgh Men’s Glee
Club. As soon as the last note had been sung the roaring
throngs of students hastened to the exits.
The remedy to all of the convocation problems lies
with the Student. All that would be necessary is that the
students sit tight or “up-tight” which ever may be the
case and wait for the presiding faculty member to
dismiss the convocation, then dash for the nearest open
portal that represents escape until another Tuesday.

Reader’s Perspective
A
Dear Editor;
As the world stands now, evil
tends to present itself more
abundantly than good and be
cause of its abundance, life
seems to present itself an
enigma for most people. It
seems to be empty with no
meaning or purpose. As this
futile life became more despond
ent, men began to divert to other
means of finding satisfaction or
purpose in life. For some people,
this purpose leads to war, hate,
crime, and other transgressions.
Even though evil has presented
itself rather forcefully, we can
overcome evil. However, within
ourselves we cannot do it.
Perhaps you have seen this for
yourself. Many times people say
that they are going to live better
lives. Many of them do for a
while but as time progresses,
they tend to fall back into the
same predicament. However,
with Christ in ones life, he has
the power to stand, he can over
come evil for this is God’s will.
If we overcome trans
gressions, life would be more
meaningful. There would be
peace within us and withour
fellowman plus freedom from
transgression such as hate,
envy, strife, jealousy, and etc.
To overcome would be life and

life more abundantly, a life
which has a meaning, purpose,
and resolution. These are only a
few results; however, there are
many more.
Why don’t we as individuals
strive through Christ to over
come evil. It only takes a “Yes to
God” to overcome. Why not try
and overcome now?

DR. JAMES COBB
Last Wednesday night a group
of young singers from Rio de
Janeiro visited our campus and
presented a program of music
from the Middle Ages and tlie>2S
Renaissance. Under W'
direction of Roberto de Regimf^^'
the ensemble presented musif,^
by Clement and JannequininthJ*‘‘
first half of the program anF
Medieval and SpanisF
Renaissance for the second pai^“'
of the program.
The audience was very re^*'
sponsive and enthusiastic abof®
the performance, although IhF
music was unfamiliar to most, i
not all of the listeners. It if”
music that deals with every daj'“
matters of life and speaks in il!*^
own special way to ar'
uninitiated audience.
A few of the soloists were out®'
standing in their contributions (T
the program, particularlj
Elaine Sampaio and Ald(
Baldin, but the outstandinf
quality of the evening was thf
variety of textures and qualities
which the group achieved and^
their very fine blend of voices. It
would be a real treat to havh
them visit us again.
It might be of interest to
students here to know that te
Conjunto chose Wilson, sltet
seeing it on Wednesday, as 2
place to spend a few extra days
of rest. They particularly ad-,
mired all of the spring flow®
that were in bloom. They sang
