Conklin states that “man’s most

tombs nor pyramids. It’s the air

Calendar
Proposal
The administration of Atlantic Christian College is contemplating a
new calendar for 1972-73. The proposal allows for exams prior to
Christmas break with the closing of school set for May 8.
According to the new calendar, the fall classes would begin August
30. Thanksgiving break would cover four days and Christmas break,
beginning Dec. 21, would last 19 days.
Spring semester would begin Jan. 9, immediately after the
Christmas holidays. No provisions have been made for a reading day.
Unlike the situation this year, Easter Monday would be a free day.
This calendar would allow ACC students to end spring semester a
full three weeks earlier than it currently ends.
The proposal has been approved by the Faculty and Staff for the
1972-73 academic year. It now awaits approval by the Administrative
Council and finally the Board of Trustees. The Council meets May 5.
The office of the Dean of Students is now open to any comments or
suggestions from the student body. May 4 is the deadline for such
response.
The following is a copy of the proposed calendar:

a little.” Robbie Steen,
appointed student co
ordinator, told the board that the
majority of students did not use
Reading Day for its designated
purpose and that he personally
would rather have the day off at
the end of the year.
Dean Zeb Whitehurst told the
board that the Administrative
Council was open to suggestions
on the calendar. He reminded
the group that any changes
would have to revolve around
the State Board of Higher
Education’s minimum class
days requirement. Discussion on
the matter was tabled awaiting
the opportunity for the board
members to review the opinions
of their organizations.

Tell It
Following student and faculty
concern over the academic
schedule, a new calendar has
been proposed for the 1972-73
school year, our “Tell It”
reporter queried several
students on their opinion of the
proposal.
D.M.T.: The only thing I don’t
like about it is that I am an
English major and for those that
have to do a lot of reading and
research, it will difficult to get
papers in on time. Other than
that, it is a very good schedule.
P.W.H.: I like the exams
before Christmas. It puts us out
the same time larger schools are
out. I like getting out earlier in
May.
L.A.H.: It is okay, but I think

Spring is in the air as everyone knows. The center campus is
laden with people all through the day. New spring fashions can
be seen everyday especially “hot pants.” Brenda West, a fresh
man at AC, posed long enough for our photographer to snap a
picture of her “hot pants.” (Photo by Ed Harris)
