District 29 Officials
The past several basketball games that ACC has
played, have been a little onesided. The opposing team
has had five ball players and two officials to ACC’s five
players.
This editorialist has been to all the games except the
N. C. State game, where tickets were scarce and seats
plentiful. Some of the calls made by the District 29 of
ficials have been unbelievable. A perfect example was
the game with Methodist, where officials watched ACC
players shoot the ball and then called three seconds on
some other player on our side. To make it simple, call a
foul on ACC for three seconds instead of looking for the
fouls committed by the opposing team.
In some of the games we have played, our players
needed shoulderpads to shake off the blocks thrown by
the opposing team. These fouls were also overlooked by
our blind officials.
Everyone knows how easy it is to make a mistake,
also how easy it is to condemn someone else for a
mistake, but why so many in a row? What happened to
nonpartial, fairly called games?
The officials have a habit of calling games against
ACC, as any upperclassman can testify to.
This year, we have a new coach, new players and
new plays to learn but, w'hat about some new officials?
Our new team is going to lose some games, and it
doesn’t need the old officials to help them along. The
team needs support from the students and faculty.
Tonight is our first home game of the season and the
officials of District 29 will no doubt be up to their usual
tricks. When this happens, let the officials know that you
don’t agree with the calls. Get up and yell and also let
the team know that you are behind them. Winning teams
get their fans’ support and they also get their fans’
support when they lose. Win or lose, our team needs our
support, so let’s give it to them!!

Were You There?
The students on this campus are noted for their out
spoken views and criticism of the administration and
faculty of Atlantic Christian College. However, after
last week’s faculty forum the reverse should be true.
The forum had been designed to let the study body ex
press its views on various subjects and then let the
faculty comment.
A strange thing happened — or was it strange — only
12 of the 1,750 students showed up, while 34 of the 120
faculty and administration attended. It appears that if
28 per cent of the college’s staff can afford to give up
their valuable time to listen to student complaints those
students should have the courtesy to at least show up.
Actually, the only thing the meeting proved was that
apathy had returned to the campus or had it really left‘s
In the future when a student finds something he or she
dislikes, they should keep it to themself, and not com-
plam unless they plan to follow it up ^ it is apparent that
most of the students here are all bark and no bite So
fellow students, the next time you want to complain
about the teachers who read their lectures, not having
unlimited cuts, library hours, or the not so uniformed
grading system, do not, unless you were there.

Keeping Face
Apathy here is of major concern. Not only is it the
attitude oi the student at large but also of the ad-
m nistration Girls of the New Dorm have thoughts of a
boycott next semester until thdr room rates are
lowered. The common answer in these cases is You
didn’t have to live here.” This is known as a copout.
The fact that a dorm is new doesn t necessarily mean
that it is a privilege to live there. The residents of the
New Dorm should not have to pay for the defects in
workmanship which have too frequently plagued this
black sheep.
Maybe it is time for these residents to open the eyes
of the administration. Maybe it is time for the ad
ministration to admit the mistakes of the New Dorm, to
lose face and lower the cost of living in the New Dorm.

Faulty Expenditures
The Atlantic Christian Bulldogs have recently
opened their basketball season. The Bulldogs started off
on the right foot by winning the first game at N. C.
Wesleyan, but then drooped the next three. The Bulldogs
are at home tonight, hosting Elon College.
You might not know that the basketball season has
started, since the only coverage of ACC was last Friday
night, when the Bulldogs played N. C. State. The games
are not being broadcast this year on WGTM radio. The
main reason for this is that former A.D. Ira Norfolk sold
time to the sponsors. This year WGTM has found they
cannot sell time for ACC basketball games. Besides that
the scores can only be found in the Wilson Daily Times
the next day. Local TV stations have not given postgame
scores until the NCSU game.
It’s bad enough that the media pays more attention to
Lee Knipe in Snow Hill than to ACC, but it seems that our
cheerleaders could put more effort in the support of the
team. We supposedly have boy cheerleaders this year,
but they have yet to cheer. The reason they didn’t
cheer at NCSU is because some were too inebriated to
stand up.
The cheerleaders have recently acquired a 140 per
cent increase in their budget. This increase was to have
covered the cost of new uniforms that have yet to be
worn, uniforms for the boys and the rest was to cover the
cost in traveling. They weren’t at High Point last
Monday night. They must have spent that $1,200.00 in a
hurry.
Last year when I cheered there were 14 of us evenly
matched. We had a budget of $500.00 and didn’t spend all
of that. We budgeted our time and money, and if I do say
so myself, we looked pretty damned good. Some of the
girls on this year’s squad are sincere while others are
out for self-glorification. They are doing a gross in
justice to the name of the college and to the student
body.
The cheerleaders should not come under the heading
of the SGA but should be a part of the Athletic Depart
ment, budgeted by this department. Election of head
cheerleader should not be a popularity contest but the
cheerleaders should vote among themselves for the top
position.
This year’s squad emphasizes the inadequate ability
of mature young students to represent the school in
sports. Their increase in the budget exemplifies the
gross amount of apathy on and around the campus.

Dear Editor,
Tuesday night around 7-k

here at A. C. C, •
In our years of study here
Atlantic Christian we havesJ
many important areas of thit
college develop with The
changing times. However, while
these areas have been pushed
toward advancement we, the
students and administration
have failed to push for the ad
vancement of our security
system. Atlantic Christian has
now reached a size that is
necessary to have a very goo(j
security system. We, the
students, and they, the ad
ministration, need to find the
answers to the problems oI
security and solve them quickly
and efficiently in order ti)
discourage such bizarre in
cidents from happening again.
The Student Government
Association met October 20 in an
open session. This called
meeting was about the security
problem on our campus. During
this meeting a motion was made
and passed stating a desire for a
special committee to be formed
to look into the security problem
of our school. This motion was to
be passed on to the Trustees for
further action.
The Trustee Meeting was held
October 22 and this motion was
presented to them for further
action. However, Chairman
Hackney has not followed up on
this motion as he has not ap
pointed two members of the
Board of Trustees to sit on this
committee. This committee was
to be formed and supposedly
they were to report monthly
their findings on the security
problem. It has now been over a
month and the committee has
not even been formed. We
believe that Chairman Hackney
should fulfill his job and gel this
action underway immedately,
Atlantic Christian College
has stressed the fact to
prospective students that we are
a community of advancements
and opportunities. The cataloque
stresses the fact that the college
is here to give everyone who
desires the highest possible
academic program. So now let
us add to this aim^. We also
guarantee the highest possibly
protective propam to om
students who strive to gain this
higher education.
Thank you.

A day in the life of you guys
when all of a sudden the hair on
your face suddenly turned to,
NO! Could it be?! Yes! Peach
Fuzz!! Oh, Glorious Hour Oh,
Happy Day !! Puberty has
fmally struck.
I bet most of you went through
the same mishaps that
^dy Adolescence did. From
thatmday he found peach fuzz,
^dy shaved avidly twice a day
hoping those blond hairs would
turn black. But alack, they only
turned mousey brown.
Andy decided that since he
was man enought to grow long
hairs on his face” that it was
time he had a girlfriend. So
suavely he called Molly Mingle
asked her to go out to eat and to a
Day In A Life
movie, Andy took Molly to a
steak house and when he was
cutting his steak his fork slid
across his garden peas and they
shot across the table and into
Molly's lap. He was mortified to
say the least.
To top that incident, the only
movie playing was “Carmen
Baby”. Thinking it was a
Spanish comedy he took her in.
Two hours later they came out.
“There were more nude bodies
in the movie than in the last
issue of Playboy!” Andy ex
claimed. Molly was not im
pressed. Her mortified look was
frozen on her face.
He took her home and at the
door attempted a kiss good night
just like he had seen Rick Nelson
do the night before. Only she
kept her mouth closed.
What a fantastic failure ®i
night was. Poor And)
Adolescence realized, ■ '
what adolescence was all aMU
As the weeks went by, ®
reluctently admitted he n®'
have hair on his chest, a
