The lOth annual Parents’s
Weekend came to a close Sunday
afternoon after some 800 parents
viewed the campus and visited
with their offsprings at their
home away from home. Many
parents treated themselves to a
hearty meal in the cafeteria.
ACC Student Government
Association, welcomed parents
on behalf of the student body.
Furnishing entertainment
during the afternoon was the
Atlantic Christian College
Concert Band directed by An
drew Preston.
Executive Board
The members of the ACC
delegation to SSL was released
to the Executive Board in their
recent meeting. The Presidents
to Presidents conference and the
omission of a Good Friday
vacation was also on the agenda.
George Breece, Student Co
ordinator, presented the
following students as delegates
to State Student Legislature:
Mahlon Aycock, Joe Harwood,
Ftin Faulkner, Lin Breece,
Margie Thorpe, Tom Kawana,
and Robbie Steen. Alternates
- Rosalie Gilligan, Jim
Reaser, and Peggy Copeland.
Other students interested in
attending were invited to do so
although not as a part of the
official delegation.
This year’s delegation as
listed included one freshman,
three sophomores, four seniors
and no juniors. One junior and
two seniors were included in the
alternate list. Equal
representatiion has been of
primary concern in past years.
The board has thus far shown no
objection to the delegation.
In response to student con
cern, George Breece asked why
Good Friday was not a holiday
for ACC this year. Robert
Hollard, faculty advisor, ex
plained that the Easter season
and spring break have coincided
in years past but that this was
not always the case. No action
was taken on the matter.
Money was appropriated to
allow Robbie Steen, to attend the
second half of the President to
Presidents Conference in
Washington, D.C.
Senior Class Meeting
The 1971 graduating class of
Mlantic Christian College made
a positive move for change
Thursday, February 11. A class
meeting for “everyone who
plans to graduate’” was called to
order by Senior class president
Kay Dunn, He announced that
ttie meeting was called
ftimarily in response to protest
over the early hour set for
graduation—10 a.m., May 28.
A lively discussion quickly
Mlowed. The reasons for the
tttly hour were explored. It is
cooler in the morning; but as the
Wemonies will be conducted in
shade of the trees, this ob
jection was quickly overcome.
®ue to the unpredictability of
Wson weather, rain was also
ttnsidered in scheduling the
time.
However, there was the un
deniable fact that family and
fiends coming long distances
*ould have to travel on Thur-
% to get here on time. Thus
®2ny people would have to miss
days of work or school.
Kay Dunn explained that the

by Atlantic Christian College for
three major campus im
provement projects.
The projects include the air-
conditioning of Moye Science
Hall, completion of a brick walk
way on a closed segment of Gold
St., from Case Art Building to a
point near the service entrance
of the Student Center, and
landscaping around the south
west entrance of Wilson Gym
nasium as well as construction
of a functional and decorative
fence around a portion of Case
Art Building.
Moye Science Hall is one of the
largest classroom facilities on
the college campus. The air-
conditioning project is to get
underway immediately and is
scheduled to be completed by
June 1, prior to the beginning of
summer school. All other
academic buildings on the
campus have been air-
conditioned.
Cost of the air-conditioning
project will be $54,543, which
includes engineering fees. The
contract was awarded to Jones
Heating and Cooling Co., of
Wilson. Fenner and Proffitt,
Inc., of Wilson, are consulting
engineers for the job.
The paving and landscapgin
project costs amount to $27,981,
the funds for which are being
provided through the recent ACC
Alumni Association Telephone
Campaign Fund and the
Campus Beautification Com
mittee. Contracts for the
projects were awarded to Cauley
Landscaping Co., of Kinston.
Work on the job is to get un
derway immediately.
^tn^ent Life Meets
The Student Life Committee in
its Tuesday meeting approved
and sent to the Administrative
Council two pieces of legislation
originated by students. These
proposals involved compulsory
dining and open house for men’s
dormitories. The committee also
received news that the bill it sent
to the Administrative Council
asking for fraternity houses to
be declared off-campus and to
allow alcoholic beverages in off-
campus housing had been
refused by that council.
A motion to exempt student
teachers from compulsory
dining during their eight weeks
of student teaching was ac
cepted by the committee after
extensive debate. Milton Adams,
Concert
On Tuesday evening of next
week, our own college chorus
and the chorus from N. C.
Wesleyan in Rocky Mount, will
sing with the North Carolina
Symphony in a concert at Fike
Senior High here in Wilson. This
will be the second such concert
this year, the first having been
given in Rocky Mount on
February 3. The work in which
the chorus will participate is
Leonard Bernstein’s
“Chichester Psalms”, a work
commissioned by Chichester
Cathedral in 1%5 which Bern
stein chose to write in the form
of settings of Psalms, including
the familiar 23rd, and 100
Psalms, in Hebrew. Soloists
from Atlantic Christian include
Jim Reaser and Gloria Hare.
Also singing as soloist will be
Mark Berry, boy alto, from
Wilson. This marks the first time
our chorus has sung a work with
the Symphony by a present day
composer, although they have
sung in the past works by
Schubert, Haydn, and Faure.
Students of the college will be
admitted to the college with ID
cards. In addition to the Tuesday
evening concert the Symphony
will present a children’s concert
in the New Wilson Gym at 1: oo
on Monday for 4th and 5th
graders from Wilson city and
county schools. This is the
symphony’s 27th touring season.
Tuesday night’s program will
include, in addition to the
Bernstein Psalms, the Wagner,
“Rienzi” Overturn, a Mozart
symphony, and music from
Bernstein’s “West Side Story”.
The concert will begin at 8:15 in
Fike High School Auditorium.
The half finished brick walkway between Hines Hall and the An
Building will finally get its other halt. Funds from the recent
telephone campaign will help finance the project. Construction
will begin soon.
college businessmanager,
presented the administrative
stand by explaining the volume
cost situation and the current
policy of reimbursement to
student teachers on he basis of
meals missed. He stated that:
“We (the administration), feel
this would probably not be a
good precedent to begin.” He
went on to suggest that it would
probably open the door to other
groups to make similar
requests.
When questioned about
whether the increase in students
brought about by the new dor
mitory was enough to offset the
volume loss, Adams said this
only kept the college from
increasing the cost this year.
The increase was hoped to
enable the college to go on
another year without substantial
increase in cafeteria fees.
The possibility of a five-day
plan was abandoned due to the
fact that the decrease in price
for those utilizing the plan
would not warrant the increase
in the amount seven-day par
ticipants would have to take.
Inconvenience was the major
argument for the proponents of
the bill. Student teachers, they
suggested would be tired after
their daily routine as well as late
getting to the dining hall, thus
disposed to eat the “leftovers.”
The cafeteria motion came as
a result of a petition from
several seniors requesting that
all second semester seniors and
student teachers be exempt
from compulsory meal cards.
The motion approved in a 5-4
vote of the committee restricted
the exemption to student
teachers. The bill now faces the
stiff reconnaisance of the Ad
ministrative Council where it
will probably meet certain
disaster.
A petition forwarded by the
Men’s Interdormitory
Association with regard to open
house for Hackney and Waters
was presented to the committee.
The Association requested open
house in the men’s dorms each
Sunday from 1-4 p.m. in con
nection with a poll taken among
resident males. Joe Harwood,
new addition to the committee,
commented that visitation in the
fraternity houses and private
apartments afforded more
privacy than the prwilege
allowed dorm students in their
lounges. The survey which
prompted the request showed
that 168 of 170 men responding to
the questionnaire were in favor
of the open housing proposal.
Dean Sarah B. Ward placed a
motion on the floor suggesting to
the Administrative Council that
open housing be allowed from 1-4
p.m. on four Sundays on an
esperimental basis if the
majority of the residents in the
male dorms approved. This
motion met unanimous approval
of Student Life.
The Women’s Interdormitory
Association placed their bid to
Student Life with a request for
the extension of visitation hours
in fraternity houses and
bachelor apartments to coincide
with curfew hours. The com
mittee approved the request, but
as in the previous cases it still
faces an ominous future before
the Administrative Council,
