Evaluation
Inflation
Recently, the residents of Waters’ Hall expressed the
idea that they would like to have a Pepsi-Cola machine
installed in the dorm’s laundry room. The idea was well
received by the dorm’s council and the Men’s Interdorm
Association.
Investigation into the possibility of having this done
was found to be satisfactory until it reached the ad
ministration. It has been learned that the Pepsi Com
pany agreed that a machine could be installed if it was
so desired. The desire is there all right, but it becomes
tarnished when it was learned that the business office
was holding things up — PRICES.
At the last, Men’s Interdorm Council meeting it was
announced that the Pepsi Company had agreed to install
this machine with the price of drinks to be 15 cents.
However, this became tarnished when the business
office told the company they could place a machine in
the dorm if its price was 20 cents a can. This decision
was reached after the business office learned that it
would not be making a profit for the general funds if
drinks sold for 15 cents.
The price of Pepsi has already been raised in
Hackney, and in protest the students have boycotted
that machine. Unless some action is taken NOW by the
students they may be faced with all drinks costing 20
cents when they return this summer or next fall. Fellow
students you must express your views to the Business
Office—It is NOW or NEVER!

New baseball uniforms for Atlantic Christian team I
I don’t know how many of you have taken the time to
go see the mighty Bulldog baseball team—but they need
new suits. The unifornis they are wearing now are torn,
permanently wrinkled (unless you have time to steam
press them for two hours). They have been patched and
re-patched and the style of the uniform went out four
years ago.
The team has done an outstanding job this year being
coached by ex-baseball pro Dr. John Sanford. Their
record being 11 wins and 5 losses. Some losses being
close ones. They are in second place in the conference.
And second place in the district.
With the new re-doings of Fleming Stadium — our
team needs some redoings—new uniforms. So wake up
Athletic Dept.—this winning team needs you—and new
uniforms. It’s a disgrace to the school and the players.
Keep up the winning record team! Any donation of
safety pins, patches, needle and thread are greatly
appreciated.

The teacher evaluation forms are in now and
teachers have received the information on their
teaching methods. Everyone knows how the evaluation
was done and if you were fair in your answers, the in
formation was helpful. r u j -..u
Now, if I step on a few toes or turn a few heads with
what I am about to say, then all well and good. The time
has come for some teachers to take notice and find out
what’s happening!
Those evaluation sheets are not to cause a professor
to be fired or to swell a teacher’s head, but rather to be
helpful to him or her. I emphasize the word HELPFUL
because if the students weren’t interested in the value of
their education then they wouldn’t have filled them out!
The student doesn’t have to come to this school and you
teachers ought to remember that we pay your salary.
Ah, hit a nerve did I?
Many teachers are taking their feelings out on their
classes for the comments made about them. You
teachers know who you are, too. If you can’t take a little
honest criticism then get the HELL out of teaching!
Students take honest criticism all the time from
teachers on their papers and don’t go around threating
professors. For those teachers who will try and profit by
the criticism, then we need more of you at AC.
I feel the students are deeply interested in the level of
education they receive and can demand this level
because they pay 85 per cent of the operating budget at
AC.
So teachers with your tail feathers ruffled, come off
your high horse and get with the program. To the rest of
you, we the student salute you and urge you on!

P.S. This is the last paper of this year and I hope that
everyone has a nice summer and good luck on exams.

To Whom It May Concern,
After serving as President of
the SGA this year, I would like to
express my deepest ap
preciation to my fellow students,
administration, and faculty, and
to my executive board for their
co-operation. Without this co
operation, the achievements of
the SGA would not have been
accomplished.
The 1973-74 term of SGA
President has begun, my prayer
is that Andy Gay will serve the
student body as President to the
best of his ability. In order to
have an effective SGA, Andy will
need the co-operation of each
individual. The success of next
years SGA depends on you.
Once again, I would like to
thank everyone for making my
term as SGA President suc
cessful. My prayers will be with
you next year and may God bless
each and everyone.
Yours in Christ,

THE QUEST
Who can tell of the
Searchings of a man?
mner
What can still the fiery tempest
raging within his breast
through the years of time?
The quest for knowledge saps his
strength as a running sore,
As he seeks the release of the
locked depths of his intellect.
Man will go on searching,
reasoning, theorizing.
Time is running out.

you; the competition involved in
getting a good job or getting into
grad school is keen, Butifvl
don’t get that good job or Z
don’t get into grad school does
that bring an end to your life or
mark you as a failure? “Oh look
at me; a has-been at the ripe ase
of twenty-one! Alas, IBM and
General Motors have no
openings for me, and Chapel Hill
and UVA just turn their backs'”
These are thoughts that must
run through the minds of some
seniors, or at least the minds of
their parents. I know I spend a
great deal of time contemplating
alternatives to goals, as well as
alternatives to alternatives. It is
really a shame that we have to
grow up so fast. Why at twenty-
one, should I feel obligated to
become settled down, get
married (if you’re not already),
make payments on a bouse and
plan for the pitter-patter of little
feet? I think I’m raising these
questions because I want some
better answers than I can come
up with. Success to me is not a
good job, owning one’s own
home, having a new car or being
a member of Shady Pines
Country Club. Now each of these
accomplishments is out-of-sight,
but I can’t see gaining each of
them and then Boom, settling
down for the rest of your days in
the same place. The United
States is really wrecked with
Indian uprisings, exorbitant food
prices, and fuel shortages, just
three of the surface problems
you hear about. But the U.S. has
still got to be the greatest and
most beautiful place in the
world. That’s why I can’t un
derstand why people must
establish roots in just one of the
zillion neat places in our
country. Wouldn’t it be better to
stay in Florida for a few years
and enjoy the sunshine and
warm weather and its people
and then move to some better
place with a different chmate
maybe and different people for
sure? There’s too much around
us to learn and see for us to
become stagnant in one vicinity.
I guess that’s why I can shrug off
what appear to be in
surmountable “future
problems as only ideas which I
thought were problems. If 1 don t
make it into law school I will
really be down ... low. Not
because an easy life with lots of
luxuries will have passed me by
but because I want to study law
so I can try to help straighten out
the world. However, one does not
have to be a politician or a law
maker to change the world. And
