STIAN COLLEGE, MARCH 1, 1973
NUMBER EIGHTEEN
STEPHANIE CHASE
Violinist In Concert
At fourteen, Stephanie Chase
is undoubtedly one of the most
exciting phenomena that has
occurred in American music in
some time.
She erupted onto the concert
scene at barely nine — a first
place winner in the Chicago
Symphony Youth Competition —
and performed as soloist four
times with the orchestra. Later
the same year she performed
with the Grant Park Symphony.
At two years of age, Stephanie
requested a violin from her
professional violinist mother.
She was reading music and a
seasoned performer on a local
circuit before she could read
words. At seven she was a three
time winner on the Ted Mack
Amateur Hour, and at eight was
featured on a Peabody Award
winning segment of television’s
Evaluation
Scheduled
The Student Government
Association has recently ap
pointed a committee to work out
an effective method of student
evaluation of the faculty of
Atlantic Christian College. The
type of procedure that will be
used is a questionnaire to be
completed by all students. On
Tuesday, February 27, the
committee’s main concern will
be compiling this questionnaire
based on a previously used form
at Atlantic Christian College and
other institutions of higher
learning. All professors will be
given theseforms to distribute to
all of his students in all of his
classes. These forms can be
turned in to the professor at the
end of the class, or to the head of
the department or in a
questionnaire box that will be
placed in the lobby of Hines Hall.
There will also be questionnaires
in Hamlin Student Center to
evaluate professors that
students have had before. The
dates of this evaluation will be
immediately following spring
break during a two-day period to
include as many classes as
possible. The committee will
then tally the results of the
survey and present them to the
students, faculty and ad
ministration. Cooperation from
all students and all faculty
members is imperative to the
success of this evaluation.
Linda Purvis
"Artists Showcase,” entitled
Child Prodigy”. She recently
appeared with the CBS Sym
phony on three programs, and in
the spring of 1971 was twice a
guest on the David Frost Show.
Stephanie is also the subject of a
soon-to-be-released documen
tary by Screen Gems.
The amazing artistry of
Stephanie Chase has thus
brought her to national attention
at an incredibly early age, and
her musical career is certain to
be one of the most brilliant ever.
Her repertoire now includes all
of the standard concertos and
several full recital programs.
Stephanie studies at Juilliard
with Sally Thomas, A
monumental talent, Stephanie
Chase is certain to join the ranks
of the titans.
Stephanie’s hobbies are
tennis, bicycling, and horseback
riding, but she is not allowed to
jump. She has a pet parakeet
that says “Practice! Stupid”
and on occasion jumps on her
bow and rides back and forth.
She has three sisters, two
older and one younger.
ESP And The
Occult Art
Have you ever wondered about
the Zodiac? What is your sign?
What do the stars hold for you
today? And I’m sure that almost
everyone reads Jeanne Dixon’s
horoscope. What does this in
dicate — people’s desire to
explore the unknown realms of
Astrology.
Astrology is one of the oldest
sciences in the world. It
originated thousands of years
ago. Its' very mystery and ex
citement only reflect the age in
which it originated. The only
thing which parallells astrology
in its mystery is the Occult Arts.
Witches, warlocks, the Black
Arts and witchcraft.
If you would like to learn more
about ESP and the Occult Arts,
then you have the perfect op
portunity to do so. There will be
a course taught at Wilson Tech
starting March 6 by Dr. Schatz.
The course will meet on Tuesday
nights for ten weeks.The cost —
$2.50.
Dr. Schatz has worked quite a
lot in the areas of Astrology and
ESP. If anyone is interested in
this area of study, then speak to
Dr. Schatz for further details or
go out to Wilson Tech and speak
with the registrar.
Board Of Trustees
Makes Plans
WILSON, N.C. - The Atlantic
Christian College Bord of
Trustees meeting here Feb. 28,
set in motion a capital fund
program through which it ex
pects to raise some $3 million to
construct a new learning
resource center. nursing
education building, acquire
additional campus property,
make necessary campus im
provements and meet certain
financial obligations.
T. J. Hackney Jr., chairman of
the board, said the effort, known
as the "Fulfillment Fund
Program,” will be the third and
final phase of the college's 15-
Year Long Range Development
Program which was launched in
1962.
Need for the proposed Lear
ning Resource Center developed
as the college's present library
became inadequate due to in
creases in student enrollment
and new developments in
learning and reference
technology. The present library
was designed for a student body
of 700 and a book collection of
70,000. Today’s enrollment is
some 1,770. In the past years
book acquisitions of bound
volumes have increased 29 per
cent while periodicals have
experienced a 32 per cent gain.
The new learning resource
center will relieve this restricted
and congested condition.
According to scholarly
Revival Begins
Atlantic Christian College
students will observe a week of
religious emphasis March 4-8,
through a series of religious
activities entitled, "Find Your
Place in the Son.”
The purpose of the event is to

and that all persons, regardless
of their religious persuasion, can
have a place in the Son. Students

landscaping.
A substantial amount to bt‘
raised Ihrouah the Fulfillment
Fund will be used to completely
retire the college's construction
debt to its major commercial
creditor and maintain its
favorable current position on
other longterm debt.
These obligations were in
curred in the past to provide
additional buildings when their
construction was mandatory.
Interest costs on this debt have
been substantially less than the
inflation in construction costs,
thus vindicating the judgment of
the college's board of trustees
and administration.
Appointment of major com

men for the Fulfillment Fund
Program are to be announced in
the near future.
“Dark Of The Moon” A Success
ByGKKGG O'SIIKIJ.
Despite it’s faults and
weaknesses, “Dark of the
Moon” proved to be another
successful production of Stage
and Script. Thursday’s opening
night attendance was better than
many. It was unfortunate they
could not have seen a more
polished performance.
With a cast of 28, “Dark of the
Moon” presented a major
casting problem to Mr. Crouch.
In general, the play was well
cast, considering the available
talent. The performances of
several of the minor actors
seemed to suffer from a lack of
preparation and this was
reflected upon the whole play.
The envolvement of the actor in
his role must be the same with
the smaller parts as it is with
the leads or the play will not
solify.
Hal Hummel and Debbie
Hester worked together
especially well. Hummel gave
his best performance to date as
Witch Boy. Over the past two
years, Hal has strengthened and
developed his dramatic abilities
greatly. Kudos to Debbie for her
portrayal of Barbara Allen. It
was almost impossible to
seperate the role from the ac
tress, they were so closely in
termeshed.
Also of special note in the cast
were Heather Jordan and
Marvin Winstead as Conjur
Woman and Conjur Man.
Fantastic makeup and costumes
coupled with fine acting made
these two quite enjoyable. Fran
.Mercer, Mike Raper and Ross
Albert were all good in their
respective rolt>s.
Once again Fran Mercer
deserves praise for her rear
stage projections. Mr. Crouchs'
use of skeletal scenery seems to
work the best with the stages
limited area. The actual con
struction of the sets was lacking
any visual strength whatsoever
and gave the impression it would
collapse any second. This was
unfortunate, as the general
designs were good.
Ross Albert, Vance Daniell,
Wayne Kin ton and Alton
Watkins provided real mountain
atmosphere with their great
Blue Grass music.
“Dark of the .Moon” cannot be
considered as good theatre. But
it was entertaining which
essentially is all theatre needs to
be.
