It’s A B
Plane, It’s Superstreaker!
By LEIGH TAYLOR
Spaning the globe to bring you
the constant variety of sport, the
thrill of victory and the agony of
defeat. With the human drama
of athletic competition, Atlantic
Christian brings you STREAK
ING!
Question; What is streaking?
Answer: A form of art where
an individual or group runs “au
natural” past Peeping Toms.
At 10:17 p.m. on March 4, six
nonchalant figures strolled up
Deans Street from Hackney
Dorm past Hilley and New
Dorm. A crowd started to
assemble along the curb, and
girls looked out through their
windows. The anticipation in the
air could be cut with a spoon.
What was going on? Was a
circus or parade coming through
town? The questions were soon
answered as the six figures
became nude flashes. Running
and yelling, but mostly running,
the naked troopers streaked
down the same route they had
just walked. The girls in New
Dorm exclaimed, “Oh my
goodness?” The Hilley girls
shouted, “Go, GrO, Go!” The
crowd on the curb stammered,
“Great Caesar’s Ghost!”
Reaching their designated
finish line, the streakers
dispersed in different directions
to put on their clothes and regain
their membership to the
civilized world.
Streaking had hit the ACC
campus and more was yet to
come. Most of the students from
the four girl dorms and two boy
dorms gathered around the
fountain to wait for the next
streak. Studying would be hard
to come by on this night unless
the student wanted to get a first
hand view of Anatomy 211.
Twenty minutes had passed
without another streak and the
natives were restless. Suddenly
shouts bellowed out through the
night in the direction of three
new naked nomads. The trio
waved their arms and danced in
the street as the spectators
began their chase, but the three
stark figures had streaked for
the hills.
The campus was really
rocking now, and several in
dividual streaks took place. One
streaker was almost caught
when he tripped over his pants.
Another didn't want to run so he
used his 10-speed to travel.
By 11:45 there had been five
minor streaks, but plans for the
biggest streak of the night were
being prepared by twenty
participants. It started at
Tweetiesnext to New Dorm, and
the route proceeded down the
red brick path between Harper
and Hilley to the fountain where
they cooled their feet
Tuesday the streaks were few.
but the fannies flew. One hun
dred and five streakers gathered
near the new gym to begin their
mass masquerade. Monday
night's streaking had slowed the
pace, but chickening out was not
the case. In the biggest streak of
the week and the longest run. the
faculty and other townspeople
watched the streaking strippers
sail past Waters Dorm, Moye
Science Building, Caldwell
Dorm, and climaxing the tiring
trauma at the old gym.
The Wilson police began
moving in to break up the crowd
at 12:00. The gay festivities were
finished for the night and
possible forever as all streakers
were notified that a penalty
would be levied if any streaker
was caught.
Atlantic Christian had taken
part in the new fad called
streaking, and most everyone
enjoyed the new experience.
What next adventure will spring
from creative minds?
Tkeslreak goes on. This three year old set the world record for the
voungest streaker as he marched gallantly into the Guiness Book of
Records. (Photo by Connie Barnes)

Under the modified visitation
plan, dormitory visitation may
take place on Friday and
Saturday evenings and Sunday
afternoons under supervision of
resident hall counselors.
Following the four-week trial
period an in-depth evaluation
will be made to determine
whether or not the policy will be
continued.
The experimental program
was authorized by the board
which delegated the program to
be established through its
executive commitee in
cooperation with the college’s
Student Government
Association, Student Life
Committee and Administrative
Council.
Hello, my name is Jimmy
Adams and I am a candidate for
the office of President of your
Student Government. I have
been at Atlantic Christian
almost three years. Last year,
acting as vice-president, 1 saw
many changes take place at our
school and I believe they were
for the better. I personally have
several ideas that I think would
improve college life;
1. I’d like to see an Assigned
College Councilor, not for
academics so much, but for
personal problems such as loss
of a loved one, boy-friend-girl
friend problems, college
pressure or just plain
depression.
2. I’d like to see a full-time
reference librarian. This would
enable any student to get help or
information on any school or
other subject. Anytime.
3. rd like to see our grade-
point system changed, so that
any student who fails a course
and repeats it, only the pasing
grade and hours will be
averaged into th cumulative
grade.
4. I’d like to see the Student
Government meetings open and
publicized. And used as an outlet
for student complaints.
5.1 would like to see a revision
of our disciplinary system.
If any of these ideas are what
you, the students want, then it is
what I want and will strive to get
for you. I will strive to make real
the students ideals.
The most important concept of
this election is that you vote.
Even if I am not the candidate of
your choice, voting proves we
are a united body that cares
about what is going on. If the
Student Government could
achieve the unity that our
Student Streakers achieved,
there is little that could not be
accomplished.
If I could secure the office of
president, I feel that it would
better enable me to accomplish
some of these goals.
CRAIG ROWAN
My name is Craig Rowan, and
as you probably have noticed I
am a candidate for the SGA
Presidency.
If you think past offices
qualify one for the job of the
Presidency, then I meet your
requirements. However, we are
not in the past but are concerned
with the future.
For an SGA President to be
effective, he must be responsive
to the demands and needs of
each and every student. He must
be aware at all times that he is a
representative of the entire
student body.
However, an SGA President
cannot be effective without the
backing of you, the students.
Every year at election time
you hear promises of how rules
will be changed and these
promises seem never to be-
realized. The only promise I will
make to you is that I will go to
the Board of Trustees and the
Administration and FIGHT for
anything the student body as a
whole desires.
I would like to remind you that
voting is next Monday and
Tuesday. I would greatly ap
preciate your vote, but most
important back your beliefs and
do vote.
LEE MEARS
The office of the president of
the Student Government
Association is an extremely
important position. The person
who serves in this office is in a
position to participate in
decision making and policy
determination which affects the
daily lives of the entire student
population. A candidate;
therefore, must be well
qualified.
Paramount qualifications
should include the desire and
willingness to serve. A person
possessed of the attributes will
work to promote the welfare of
the students and of the in
stitution. I believe that I have
these qualities.
In any election, the ideal
situation would be for the voters
to select the best qualified
candidate. Unfortunately, this is
often not the case, as elections
are turned into more popularity
contests. I urge the students of
Atlantic Christian to take the
SGA spring elections seriously,
and to take an active part in
these elections.
In conclusion, I pledge to the
student body that I will be
conscientious in the execution of
the duties of the president.

LAFF Returns
By,L\{'KIKPARKKK
You may not remember, but
last year around this time, a
very large kite appeared in
Hamlin Student Center. This kite
was built by the Art Club to
advertise LAFF (Last Annual
Flight Festival).
If you missed the LAFF last
year be sure not to miss this one
on Monday, April 1 (no fooling).
LAFF begins at 4:00. We have
chosen a beautiful pastoral area
in which to fly your kites —
between Belk Administration
Hall and lovely Harper Hall.
The only rules for the contest
are to have your own kite
(original or bought), fly it at
least 30 seconds, 8 feet off the
ground with only wind sup
porting it. No propellars
allowed.
If you have any questions,
please contact Rock Bottoms,
Jackie Parker, or any other Art
Club member. Awards will be
given for the most original kite,
ugliest kite, best designed kite,
etc. So get busy finding a kite
and LAFF on April 1.
