ATLANTIC CHRISTIAN COLLEGE, OCTOBER 7, 1971
PUBLISHED WEEKLY
NUMBER FOUR
SGA Budget Passed
Ttco Hour Debate
Required Before
Decision Made
After over two hours of heated
debate and discussion, the SGA
Executive Board Monday night
approved a $40,000 budget for the
1971-72 school year. At the outset
of the meeting IFC president Ed
Harris moved to appropriate
$160 from the classes and give it
to the three ACC student
photographers as a bonus for
their efforts. Confusion con
cerning parliamentary
proceedure caused a slight delay
but the motion was eventually
passed. The Board then resolved
itself into a committee of the
whole in hopes of expediting the
evenings business.
Campus Christian Association
president, Mike Wenger was
yielded the floor and he pointed
out that if the CCA budget
continues to be cut back at the
present rate by 1974 they wont
have any budget at all. He then
wanted to know why the SGA
treasurer, Don Hughes had cut
them back to $1000. Student
Coordinator, Robbie Steen said
that the administration and
trustees here are doing their
best to see that the students be
kept spiritually high, and he
moved to keep the CCA budget at
$1000. Some heated debate en
sued and the motion was
defeated. As a result of con
fusion during the voting. Vice
president Robert Cayton moved
for a roll call vote on whether or
not to keep the CCA budget at
$1000. The members voted as
follows
Bob Baucom yes
Robert Cayton no
B C Franklin no
Robert Harris no
Ed Harris no
Don Hughes yes
Tom Kiwana no
Arthur Marks no
Mike McIntyre yes
Jim Sturdevant yes
Rusty Tabb yes
Robbie Steen yes
Betsy Whitehead yes
Andy Gay no
Margie Thorpe no
Dean Whitehurst no
Martha Morgan no
Kathy Lilley yes
(note: the Board was in “com
mittee” so Baucom and
Whitehurst were able to vote.)
Steen then suggested that
rather than the CCA spending
$325 on a concert of religious
music they should buy a
collection of Mormon Taber
nacle Choir records.
Arthur Marks suggested that
$100 be taken from the Hamlin
Student Center budget and be
given to the CCA. Entertainment
Committee chairman Jim
Sig Ep
Installs Pledges
The brothers of Sigma Phi
Epsilon fraternity recently
installed the twenty members of
their 1971 fall pledge class.
Those installed were: Don Bunn,
Wayne McKensie, Rick Blanken,
Mike Macomson, Louise Lowe,
Gene Alley, Ted Davis, Joe
Neely, Rick Stover, Mark
Draughn, Dee Gibson, Bob
Strotmeyer, Elbert Lee, Tenny
Jones, Huck Veners, Billy
Potter, Phil Edwards, Louis
Taft, Milton Norvell and Danny
Phillips.
Sturdevant in a surprise move
offered the CCA $150 of his
committee’s money.
Consequently the CCA ended up
with a budget grant of $1250.
The Board adjourned as a
committee of the whole and
continued on with new business.
Sturdevant moved that student
fees be increased next semester
from $21.50 to $25 with the $3.50
increase going for student ac
tivities in general and en
tertainment specifically. This
motion passed and will be sent to
the Student Life Committee.
Among other topics of great
concern considered by the Board
was a question by Ed Harris as
to why the bells in the classroom
building aren’t functioning.
Baucom said he would look into
it and promised to have those
bells ringing as soon as possible!
Jim Sturdevant then asked for
clarification as to the policy of
cancelling classes during
natural disasters. He noted that
it’s quite dangerous walking to
class while trees and limbs are
falling around you. And he ac
cused the administration of
endangering the lives and health
of students by not cancelling
classes last Thursday during
hurricane Ginger. Dean
Whitehurst said that the decision
whether or not to cancel classes
is made by Dean Swindell, and
he felt that if faculty and staff
are expected to report for work
then on-campus students should
not be excused from classes. Pat
Parvin, a guest at the meeting
asked Whitehurst if he could sue
the school since a tree fell on his
car while attending class last
Thursday. Whitehurst said that
was a legal question but doubted
if a suit like that would be suc
cessful.

Voter Power
Republican politicos continue
to be worried about the way the
youth vote is going, particularly
in California, the country’s most
populous state, and a state Nixon
captured by just 223,000 votes in
1968. The Democrats for in
stance, are easily winning the
registration battle in this 45
electoral vote state. Nelson
Rising, manager of John Tun-
ney’s successful Senate race in
1970 says there are already
700,000 newly registered under-
21-year-olds. “That’s 700,000
young voters already
registered,” he stresses, “and
they are registering 3 to 1
Democratic throughout the
state. Even in relatively con
servative areas like Orange
County, the young people are
registering 2 to 1 Democrat.

Hurricane Wets Dorm
By ROSALIND MATTHEWS
Last Thursday when the
results of the hurricane hit
Wilson, our newest building on
campus. New Women’s Dorm,
showed signs of premature
aging.
Sixth floor residents along
with other residents on different
floors were privileged in having
individual swimming pools.
Also, our housemother was
fortunate enough in having a
chance to shampoo her rug.
Of course, the electricity did
go off, but it did not hurt the
elevator since it was already
broken. To break the boredom of
walking up flights of steps, one
had the opportunity to examine
different footprints and the
different formations of mud.
When one awoke the next
morning, some found they had
no electricity while their neigh
bors did. And, for any girls
wondering what shoes to wear to
class so as not to ruin them, little
did they realize their worry
starrted before getting out of the
dorm. On the flights of steps
leading outside, one had to learn
their childhood game of “hop
scotch’’ to jump beyond the
numberous scattered puddles.
But to make it more difficult in
playing, one could not hold onto
the banisters unless she desired
the “wet head look.’’
When the maids came on
Friday and examined their days
work, I wonder if they were
angry at the hurricane or the
dorm.
