ATLA|}4TIC CHRISTIAN COLLEGE, APRIL
18, 1973
NUMBER TWENTY TWO
A Wilde Night Scheduled
The Carolina Readers
Theatre, a new professional
acting company, will give a
performance of “A Wilde
Night,” at Atlantic Christian
College, on Wednesday, April 18,
in Howard Chapel, at 8 p.m.
A “Wilde Night” reveals the
life and times of Oscar Wilde as
only he could see it. The script,
which features excerpts from
Wilde’s best known works,
shows the relationship between
his writings and his life, and how
each affected the other.
It displays the style and wit,
the slsill with the turn-of-phrase,
that brought Wilde to the height
of the literary world in his day.
It includes many of his famous
epigrams, such as “Twenty
years of romance makes a
woman look like a ruin; but
twenty years of marriage makes
her something like a public
fxiilding,” and “Duty is what one
expects from others — it is not
what one does oneself.” Also
included are excerpts from “The
Importance of Being Ernest,”
•‘A Portrait of Dorian Gray,”

Circle K on the Move
The 1972-1973 school year is
coming to a gradual close, and
with it the first year of the Circle
K Club. For a full year, the
Circle K, a branch of the
Kiwanis, had done much hard
work, unbeknowing to the
majority of ACC students. An
organization devoted to com
munity, as well as national
service, the Circle K has un
dertaken many projects to live
up to its standards.
Many may remember the
Walk-a-thon held in November,
in which over $600.00 was raised
for the multiple sclerosis cause.
Students walked from Wilson to
Stantonsburg, wearning signs of
their sponsors, who gave $10.00
for each walker they wished to
have. There may have been
many sore feet and blisters at
the end of the thirteen mile hike,
but most agreed that it was a fun
and also rewarding project.
Along with this major project.
Circle K members have been
busy with various other jobs.
Having two car washes was
included in these, and just this
past Saturday, five club
members spent their day selling
200 dozen dougnhuts. $100.00 of
this hard earned money will be
donated to the College
Fullfillment Fund.
Not all projects are to raise
money, as proved in the help the
club gave with the Bloodmobile,
which came to ACC twice this
year.
Plans are now being formed as
to what the club will be doing
next year. There are ideas being
discussed fora Miss ACC pagent
to take place in the fall, and also
plans for more community
service projects in cooperation
the the N. C. Wesleyan Circle K.
Once a month, the Iwo clubs will
probably be holding parties for
the handicapped at a hospital in
Goldsboro.
Next year’s officers are
headed for Miami for a week
Alvimiii Purpose
Most of us swear to God that if
we ever leave this place, “they 11
never see or hear tell of me
again'."
This is the typical threat that
we all make to help smooth over
our egos, which have been
crushed,' trampled, torn apart,
and all but taken from our souls
during our educational (?)
experience.
Yet, as the years pass by after
graduation, we find ourselves
missing our old friends (and
NCSL
long international convention in
August. Here they will elect
international officers and ex
change views on club ideals and
projects. They hope to come
hack sporting good tans, but also
a lot of workable ideas fol- the
coming year.
Along with these plans is the
Walk-a-thon, as a very good year
is being expected. The Circle K

The North Carolina Student
Legislature met in Raleigh at
the Sir Walter Hotel Wednesday,
March 28 thru April 1. Atlantic
Christian’s delegation was
composed of Otis Carter, Linda
Edwards, A1 Johnson, Cindy
Kramer, Robbie Steen. Kim
Taylor and Shannon Wilson. A1
Johnson and myself comprised
the Senate delegation while the
others served as House
delegates. For the first time in
its 37-year history a committee
system was instituted in an
effort to cut down on debate in
the Senate and House sessions. It
proved to be moderately suc
cessful but there are definitely
some wrinkles to be ironed out.
There were over forty pieces of
legislation and the end result
was a number of schools left
"out in the cold” so to speak.
Atlantic Christian was among
this group. Our primary bill
establishing a Consumer’s
Counsel was amended slightly in
committee and then passed in
both houses. I met several times
with Attorney General Robert
Morgan and he was a tremen
dous help in preparing my
presentation of this bill. Our
secondary bill, establishing a
schedule of efficient charges for
discharges into state waters was
discussed in great length in
committee and with the help of
Kathy Holoman of EC(J I
rewrote the bill which passed
with only two votes in opposition
in the House. However, this fine
bill never made it to the Senate
floor due to the crowded agenda.
Our tentiary bill which would
have legalized raffles, bingo
games, etc. ... for nonprofit
organizations, never reached the
floor of either house.
During the session we were
address by Gov. Holshouser, Lt.
Gov. Hunt and Speaker of the
House Ramsey. The legislature
received greater press coverage
than in past years. Although The
Charlotte Observer headlined an
article about NCSL “Student
legislature okays Pot” in
referring to our passage of such
a bill. Little mention was made
of the passage of legislation
pertaining to land use, judiciary
reform, tax relief to older
persons and other such worth
while measures.
The awards presentation was
to me an unfitting ending for
what had been a largely suc
cessful session. Best large
school and small school awards
went to Duke and Wingate
respectively. Duke and Carolina
are constantly rivals for the big
school award, but I felt that
Wingate’s honor was based
entirely upon the actions of one
member of their delegation who
admittedly was a standout.
However, the award is for an
entire delegation and I felt that
Methodist College was more
deserving. Best small school bill
went to Meredith College and its

possibly old enemies i of our
days back at ACC. Never fear!
To help us close that commun
ications gap is the AC Alumni
Office here on campus.
Our Alumni office is often
misunderstood by those of us
who haven’t used it yet, so this
reporter made an effort to find
out how our office works
After talking with Mr. Bill
Smith, director of the alumni
office, I am of the impression
that AC cares more about its
alumni than just as a source of
money. Mr. Smith said that AC
has about 10,000 alumni with
about 7,200 alumni addresses on
file.
The only prerequisite for
becoming an alumni, besides
attending AC, that is, is that the
student must have received
credit and left voluntarily.
Where does the money factor
come in? Well, Mr. Smith ex
plained, that it is easier for the
college to find an industry
willing to donate funds if the
college has a large number of
alumni contributing. It doesn't
matter how much exactly, just
so the jijidustry knows the alumni
cares.
Look at it this way; if we take
the view, as students often do,
that we want to leave all this
behind us, for good, then we’re
discounting our degrees. If the
school should have to close, our
loss is creditation, then your four
years (five, six, whatever)
would be in vain.
So, its’ important that the
school stay open to represent us
just as we represent the school.
Perhaps, the face value of giving
has been deceiving to us, but the
alumni helps us in the areas of
student aids, the library, and
campus improvements. To help
stress these needs, AC alumni
have set up 13 Alumni chapters
—11 in N.(i. and 2 in Virginia. In
return, the students help the
alumni celebrate their
homecoming ceremonies each
year, an event important to most
of them.
However, if you still have
nagging doubts about the sin
cerity of the Alumni office, if you
still think that alumni are
considered as an unlimited
source of funds, and if you don't
think AC’s future depends on
your involvement, drop in to see
Mr. Smith at the Alumni office.
He'll be glad to give you the
straight story.

Fall Delivery
1973 begins a new era in Pine
Knot history. In an effort to
produce a better yearbook it was
decided that the Pine Knot
should be a fall delivery book.
This decision was not made
hastily or without a thorough
study. It was discovered that the
better college yearbooks are on
fall delivery (i.e., East Carolina,
and Carolina). In light of the
evidence uncovered, it was felt
that it was time for Atlantic
C^iristian to try and produce a
better book. Thus, we arrived at
our decision.
The advantages of a fall
delivery book are many. To
begin with, the photographers
are not nearly as rushed as they
would normally have been. They
have more time to print more
pictures — and to take pictures
over again that did not turn out
well. So, the first advantage is
better quality of photography. A
second advantage is that the
