NC Student Legislative
A Student Lobby Group
By ALLAN HICHESO.N
Atlantic Christian College was
represented in the North
Carolina Student Legislature
which was recently held this
past March 6-10 in Raleigh. The
North Carolina Student
Legislature was one of the
earliest student law-making
bodies of its type in the country.
It is a student lobbying group
made up of students from such
colleges and universities in
Spring Concert
Do you need a break from the
Spring semester blues? What's
got you by the neck now? Term
papers, SGA, baseball practice,
frat activities, play rehearsal or
maybe just plain ol’ tests?
Well rejoice! For AC’s fine
entertainment committee has
once again succeeded in its'
effort to deliver the campus
from the pit of despair. Last
spring, the committee came up
with what was, to many people,
the best concert of all time for
AC. Of course opinions can vary,
but you can’t please everybody.
Across the state, college
students somehow managed to
make their way to the small time
atmosphere offered here at AC
as the J. Geils Band rock and
rolled” their way through the
smoke and smell. When they
left, there were more happy
people in the dorms than there
were in the Ad building.
This year — well it appears a
triple dose awaits our virgin
ears. It’s all happening Thur
sday night, April 4 from 7 to 11
p.m. at Fleming Stadium;
There's the Earl Scruggs Revue,
Goose Creek Symphony, and
Ray Buchanon. All should be
great 1 Tickets are $2.50 for all
AC students with ID s. For all
others, $5.00 in advance and
$6.00 at the gate, see you there.
North Carolina as .N.C. State,
Duke, and UN'C at Chapel Hill.
Bills which are passed at the
student legislature are passed on
to a committee that is appointed
by the .\orth Carolina State
Legislature. This committee
looks these bills over and any
bills which they feel are of merit
are passed on to the State
Legislature. In this way the
college students in North
Carolina have an opportunity to
participate in the process of
making laws. In addition to
lobbying for certain legislation
the student legislature is also a
place where the college students
may lobby with North Carolina's
political figures. This year we
had the opportunity to talking
with the Lt. Governor, Jim Hunt,
and a senatorial candidate. .Nick
Galifinakis.
One of the bills which was
passed in this year's .Vorth
Carolina Student Legislature
was Duke's "Tax Reform Bill.''
This bill takes the taxes off of

.Adams, a junior
psychology, was named
president for 1974-75.
Jimmy has high hopes for his
year as president of the Student
Government Associa tion
Besides the major issues con
cerning student pnvilegt>s on
campus now, he has several
other proposals concerning
other areas of life on campus
"Next year 1 would like there
to lx> some Uisic down to earth
changes that the students can
see,' was Jimmy's ojx'ning
statement.
He (eels that there is a strong
need for a reference librarian
and although the SG.A couldn't
fund the project, he ho[x's that
the .-Xdministration will
recognize the usefulness and
necessity for such a college
employeand aid in this proposal
Another major proposal by
.Adams is that the grade point
system Ix' changed so that when
a student has failed a course and
then repeats it receiving a
[xissing grade, only the passing
mark will Ix- averaged into his
cummulative grade point
average. Lights are also
suggested for the far tennis
courts.
Jimmy closed by saying that
he wanti>d to come into closer
contact with the sludent.s at .AC
and that he hopt'd more students
would attend the SGA executive
lx)ard meetings and the Student
Body meetings
