Pear Editor:
■phis is basically an appeal for
help, help for a program that is
not meeting its potential on this
campus. Only students can
rescue it.
According to the grapevine,
many students do not attempt to
participate in dramatics at A.C.
bacause they have heard “If
vou're a fraternity or sorority
member, forget it. The don’t
want you.” Or they labor under
tl,e mistaken idea that a student
has to be enrolled in a drama
course to participate. These
ideas are patently untrue.
Tryouts for all Stage & Script
productions are always open to
everyone and everyone is ac
tively encouraged to help out,
performing or backstage.
Now comes the appeal. In the
coming school year Stage and
Script has scheduled produc
tions which will use the talents of
a large number of people; talent
that is on this campus but that
has not, for some reason, ever
been used in plays. In October,
we will be doing a production of
the popular musical “You're A
Good Man, Carlie Brown.”
Tryouts will be held September
II and 12. In addition to the six
singers and backstage crew, we
need to find rehearsal pianists
and others to play the show.
Second semester will begin
with a production of “Dark of the
Moon” which requires about 25
actors, folk singers, guitar and
accordion players. It deals with
the mountain legend of Barbara
Allen who loves and marries an
immortal witch-boy.
Since our “Firebugs”
auditions only had 12 people
trying out for 10 roles, and the
one-acts had only 9 trying out for
8 roles, this makes the choice
somewhat limited. (This also
might answer the criticism that
the same faces are used over
and over again. Of course they
are! They’re the only people who
try out.) Needless to say, if there
are not 30 or 40 people at “Dark
of the Moon” tryouts, the show
will be replaced by something
with fewer people, a real loss for
the A.C. students for whose
benefit these shows are staged n
the first place.
Sincerely,
Paul H. Crouch
Director of Drama
Dear Editor:
Since I have been a student at
Atlantic Christian these pas'
four years, the student body has
asked for many reforms. I have
been in sympathy with many of
these reforms. Unfortunately,
many of the measures which 1
favored failed to pass the
Executive Board or the Board of
Trustees. The failure of these
reforms has often been at
tributed by the student body to
the utter intransigence of the
administration. However, I have
my own theory as to the reasons
why the reform measures have
failed. For four years, I have
observed various irresponsible
acts committed by certain
members of the student body.
The latest of these acts was the
leaving of two rather expensive
spot lights outside overnight in a
driving rain storm.
I would like to pose a question
to my fellow students. How
may we ever gain the con
fidence of the administration
and others in positions of
authority when we continually
demonstrate our incapacity to
shoulder any measurable degree
of responsibility. The reforms
that we as the student body are
requesting are in general, not
rights, but privileges that would
be granted by the ad
ministration. To obtain these
privileges we must demonstrate
our competence to handle the
responsibilities that accompany
them. I hope that in the future
the student body will take this
into account when they request
additional reforms next fall.
Sincerely yours,
Mike Wenger

seven day meal plans, and 3. the
change in meal hours. Barry
Morgan proceeded to make a
motion that a committee be
appointed to examine the
cafeteria management and
report to the SGA the first
meeting in October. A
suggestion was made to change
the date to the first meeting of
November. Retracting the
motion, Barry Morgan moved to
appoint a committee to examine
the cafeteria management and
report to the SGA the first
meeting of November. It was
seconded and carried.
Another area, in which Barry
Morgan felt some change was
needed was the library hours.
Barry Morgan made a motion to
ask he library committee to
consider adjusting the night
hours, Monday through Thur
sday and hours changed on
Saturday. President Robert
Cayton said a letter should be
sent to the Library Committee.
The motion was seconded and
carried.
A1 Johnson, Senator of the
senior class brought to
discussion the idea of having a
student representative on the
Administrative Council. It was
open for discussion. A motion
was made by Barry Morgan to
have the SGA President be the
student representative on the
council. Barry Morgan retracted
his motion. A suggstion was
made by William Ireland that
because the duties of the
President were so great that the
student coordinator represent
the students on the Ad
ministrative Council. After
discussion a motion was made
that Dr. Wenger consider a
student appointment on the
Administrative Council. The
question of the student
representative will be con
sidered in the fall of 1972.
Next of the agenda dealing
with new business was the
recognition of a new
organization. Sir Walter Scott,
vice-president, gave the
organizations title as the ACC
Sport — Parachute Club and
read its purpose. He moved we
accept the Parachute Club to the
ACC organizations. The motion
was seconded and carried.
Andy Gay, treasurer, in
troduced the fiscal 1972 budget
and the proposed 1972-73 budget.
It was open for discussion. Andy
Gay moved that the August 1st
1972 through July 31st 1973
budget be accepted. The motion
was seconded and carried.
The floor was next open for
discussion on the issue of the
discipline committee. It was
suggested that the committee be
reformed. President Robert
Cayton discussed the discipline
committee purpose. Barry
Morgan moved we establish a
committee to look into the
discipline committee. It was
seconded by Margie Thorpe. The
motion was carried.

Ever since the spectacle at the
preliminary on last Wednesday,
April 26, at Hardy Alumni Hall
all eyes have been turned toward
the encounter this week The
stage was set as far back as
three years ago when the
challenger dared to offer
resistance to the defensive
champion. At that point in the
game, the speaker for the
challenger, the SGA, attempted
to go through the proper
channels in an attempt to change
the drinking regulations which
proved to be in vain. Following
that confrontation, the cry “Fix!
Fix I ’■ was widespread. It was no
news to anyone that the
champions leading man had
threatened to step down should
the rules be changed. His sup
porters in awe dared not to move
a finger, fearing the downfall of
a dynasty.
In the past year or two, little or
nothing had been attempted to
further the cause of the
challenger. The SGA sat around
on their cans and the students
didn’t appear to really care
either. But wait! All of the
sudden, from out of nowhere, the
ball started rolling again! The
challenger, spurred by Tom
Kawana, was in training and
looking good. On Wednesday, the
challenger was out in force for
the preliminary. Its opponent,
the Student Life Committee, a
very formidable foe, recognizing
the attributes of the challenger,
discussed them and came out
swinging ... for the challenger.

So the scene is set today
Following the remarkable
pt-rformance of the challenger
last week hopes are high Doubt
remams however, because out
siders do not believe the
challenger can maintain the
superb style shown thus far
Humor has it that once more the
main man of the mighty masters
will not be moved However, the
iron's hot and the time to strike
is now
Game time!!
The challenger came out of his
corner somewhat sluggishly On
the drinking issue, remarks
were not offered readily. Then
there was a flurry of opinions
The students appeared to be in
good form. All areas of im
portance were touched on. The
champ appeared interested and
presented a commendable op
position due to this concern. The
issue of visitation followed and
now the challenging students
were full of zest and once more
every vital argument was
brought out. The problem of
women's hours was also
responsible for bringing to the
surface heartfelt views. The
champ was cool and did not
appear shaken by this awesome
display of power. The bout went
the full amount of time allowed
The decision?! We all know
who this is up to. The champ's at
the controls. Some may say,
“well, there’s no hope” but I
disagree. Sure the Ad-
minstrative Council didn't speak
to the issues t(xlay. Things would
have probably gotten out of hand
and the time was limited. But
you could see that they cared.
They will not just cast aside five
hundred students as in-
signficant. People, I think we re
going to witness a few changes
around here so thank an ad
ministrator today.
