NUMBER TEN
Many hours have been spent calling our alumni but it has been
well worth it. For those who have worked on the campaign it has
been thrilling although there were times when you felt like
g mg up. All this despair or giving up you might have felt is
quickly forgotten as someone holds up a card and yells “I’ve eot
a hundred.” (Photo by Ed Harris)
Coffee House Open
A coffee house is a happening.
This Thursday evening, 6:30-
10:30p.m., a coffee house will be
open in the basement of the Old
Gym. Sponsored by the Campus
Christian Association, in con
junction with the Student Center,
the coffee house will provide an
informal, come-and-go at
mosphere in which to gather for
1 conversation, discussion, en-
j tertainment and relation. This
evening’s coffee house is the
first of a regular schedule of
I coffee houses to be open on the
I ACC campus.
Highlights of this evening will
I be entertainment provided by
I various students on campus,
I including Cynde Mercer, Mike
I Raper, Beth Whitley, and others.
All students are invited to give
suggestions and ideas for the
I coffee house. Susan Jaquith,
I C.C.A. president, states that
“We need everybody’s interest
and participation for its suc-
I cess.” The coffee house is being
I established ‘by students and for
students of ACC.
Attempts to establish the
coffee house last year were
unsuccessful. The major
problem proved to be a lack of
adequate housing. However,
money appropriated for ren-
novation of the Old Gym opened
the basement for student
recreation.
The physical education
department will remove newly
installed ping pong tables each
time the coffee house is set up.
Last spring the C.C.A. invested
in a sound system which in
cludes mikes and amplifiers,
and will be used by the en
tertainers and for background
music. Candle-lit tables, black
lights and posters will add
further to the atmosphere.
Any grops interested in
sponsoring the coffee house or
contributing to the en
tertainment or atmosphere are
urged to contact Susan Jaquith
at the New Women’s Residence
Hall.

Tell
It Like
It Is!
We wondered in how many
different directions our student
body would go, if we posed the
question, “If you had a five day
vacation, where would you go
and what would you do?” These
are the replies.
K.C.D., senior: Go to the
mountains and rest for five days.
J.H.A., junior: I’d go to
Hawaii and live it up.
P.S.S., senior; I’d go to Japan
and drink at Kirin Beer Hall.
N.K.H., senior: I’d to the farm
bureau and get a new rain hat.
M.A.D., freshmen: I’d pick
Florida and go swimming and
soak up the rays.
D.T.P., sophomore: I’d go to
Dr. Hemby’s house and learn
how to pass English.
J.C.H., sophomore: Australia
and chase kangaroos.
B.B.F., I’d go to Hawaii and
study the methods of volcano
eruptions and tribal fertility
rights.

talk to Jimmy Wayne Overton
and Harvey J. Barwick.

Rico and visit my sister and

Stafford
By JIM ABBOTT
William Stafford has been
acclaimed as being one of the top
American poets writing today.
Last Thursday he came to AC to
share some of his poetry with us.
Students, faculty and local
citizenry gathered to bask in the
enjoyment that comes from
hearing a top poet read from
some of his own works.
At the opening of his remarks
Stafford proposed the idea that,
“writing is very much like
talking, it’s just the language we
use everyday to get along with.”
“Creative writing,” he said, “is
a process that will make things
happen that wouldn’t have
happened if you hadn’t entered
the process.” Unlike some other
contemporary poets, Stafford
wants people to like his works.
He admits that, “if someone
likes something I write, then I
like it more than I used to and if
someone doesn’t like one of my
works then I like it less.”
Stafford at one point in his
discussion, quoted from the
Vienese philosopher Wittgen
stein who said, “to do philosophy
one doesn’t learn how to do it,
but that you can do it.” Stafford
Speaker
Miss Barbara Eisenstadt,
former drug user, will speak on
campus December 2nd and
December 3rd on drug abuse.
Miss Eisenstadt comes as a part
of the first convocation in a
series of three programs dealing
with the current and crucial
problem of drug usage in our
community and nation. She is
being sponsored by the Campus
Christian Association, which is
working in co-operation with the
Convocation Co-ordinating
Council.
Telephone
Students of Atlantic Christian
are participating in the Alumni
Telephone Campaign being held
in Hardy Alumni Hall. The
campaign was set for two weeks
and is now progressing into the
last few days. As of Monday
night $11,212 was pledged. The
goal for the campaign is $25,000.
The proceeds of the campaign
will go towards the completion of
the brick walk extending from
the Art Building to the Student
Center plus the landscaping of
the new women’s Residence
Hall.
Motivating the Greek
organizations on campus to work
on the campaign is a $25.00 prize
for getting the most pledges.
There will be a prize for both
fraternity and sorority. As of
Monday night Phi Mu Sorority
was leading with $3045. Delta
Zeta Sorority was not far behind
with $2,745. In the fraternity
division Alpha Sigma Phi is
ahead with $2124. The average
nightly pledges are ranging
about $2200.
Eisenstadt
Wednesday, December 2, Miss
Eisenstadt will lead an open
discussion at 7:30 p.m. in Hardy
Alumni Hall, as the guests of the
Campus Christian Association.
Miss Eisenstadt will speak
Thursday, December 3rd, at
11:00 a.m. in Howard Chapel.
She will be on campus all day
Thursday, December 3rd to talk
with students interested in
various phases on drug abuse.
The convocation program and
CCA open discussion are open to
all students, administration, and
faculty interested in one of the
major crises of our time-drugs.
(See related article).
applies this concept to his notion
of creative writing. He says,
“you don’t learn how to write
creatively, you learn that you
can write creatively.”
“A poem,” said Stafford, “is
anything that is said in a certain
kind of way and invites a certain
kind of reaction to it,” and in his
latest book Allegiances, Stafford
says of his poetry, that he trys to
make each poem “be its own
self.”
In closing his remarks,
Stafford admonished men to
turn to the poet for new answers
to contemporary problems and
he expressed the hope that
eventually, “there will come a
time when all we’ve said and all
we’ve hoped will be alright.”
Information
On Sex
The booklet Elephant and
Butterflies and Contraceptives
has been well received at UNC at
Chapel Hill. It is now in its
second printing. This booklet
contains some vital and well
presented information as
recognized by some of our
faculty and administration.
Jack Stelljes, Dean of Men,
“The booklet is dedicated to the
prevention of the tragedy of
unwanted pregnancies and
veneral disease. Its purpose is
not to advocate premarital sex,
but rather to be a source of in
formation available to people in
hopes of educating them,
Mrs, Mildred Latham, Student
Bookstore Manager, “The book
Elephants and Butterflies and
Contraceptives presents
knowledge that should be
available to those who need it.
The book is written by a group of
medical students who are aware
of the problem from several
points of view.
The information is good. The
reality of the problems exist.
The need to prevent the
problems is imperitive. Dr, Crist
says on page 20, ‘It was written
by students not to promote
promiscuity, but rather, in
recognition of the fact that many
young people are in fact risking
pregnancy, and in hopes of in
creasing their individual and
social responsibility,’ In light of
the latter statement the book is
excellent,”
Dr, Allan R, Sharp, director of
Ministerial Education and In
structor of Marriage in the
Family, Elephants and But
terflies and Contraceptives is an
attractively prepared brochure
on birth control intended to give
accurate information to those
seeking such information.
Prepared by a faculty member
of the UNC School of Medicine,
in cooperation with informed
and creative students, this
brochure should be made
available to all who desire it.
Separating fact from fiction may
be the first and very best step to
valid sex education and this
booklet appears to make just
such a contribution to our
society.
These people and many others
have recognized the need for
