ACCToTiJSVP^ radio station! It
may sound ridiculous to some,
but not to John Doran, John, a
music major from Virginia
Beach, had the idea for a radio
station here on campus since the
first day he arrived, John would
like to set up an AC loop radio
station which would feature
progressive rock, would operate
only at night and would be closed
NTE Scheduled
The National Teacher
Examinations will be ad
ministered on Nov. 9, 1974 in
Hardy Alumni Hall at Atlantic
Christian College which has
been designated as a test center.
According to Zeb M,
Whitehurst III, dean of students,
many college seniors preparing
to teach and teachers applying
for certification, licensure, or
those seeking positions in school
systems which encourage or
require the NTE will be taking
the tests. In addition, the
designation of Atlantic Christian
College as a test center for these
examinations will give
prospective teachers in this area
an opportunity to compare their
performance on the
examinations with candidates
throughout the country who take
the tests, Whitehurst said.
Last year approximately
100,000 candidates registered to
take the examinations which are
designed to assess cognitivie
knowledge and understanding in
professional education, general
education and subject-field
specialization. The
examinations, which are
prepared and administered by
Educational Testing Service of
Princeton, N.J., are limited to
assessment of those aspects of
teacher education that are
validly and reliably measured
by well constructed paper-and-
pencil tests.
Bulletins of Information
describing registration
procedures and containing
registration forms as well as
sample test questions may be
obtained from Dean Whitehurst
at Atlantic Christian College or
directly from the National
Teacher Examinations,

to just the school. An AC loop is
when the signal is transmitted
through the AC current of the
school. It would operate only at
night because of certain FCC
regulations and legalities. Ac
cording to John, it would take
approximately six to eight
months to set up the station. The
reason it would take this long to
set up is because the FCC has to
approve the equipment being
used and supervise the in-
stllation of the equipment.
At this moment, John, who
has his third class radio
operators license, is the only
student pushing for the radio
station. He has consulted many
authorities and has support from
a few of the faculty and ad
ministration. But he needs help
and support from the students.
The AC loop station would cost
roughly $5,000, but if the North
Carolina Broadcast Association
would help the cost would be
lower.
The school would benefit from
Marathons
Return
On P'riday, October 25, the
Circle K Club of Atlantic
Christian College will sponsor its
first Dance Marathon for a
Camp for Autistic Children. The
Marathon will begin at 7 p.m. in
the old gym and will continue
through the night. The dance will
be run as a "Sock Hop” in
memory of those "Fabulous
Fifties” There will be refresh
ments served to the par
ticipants.
The members of Circle K are
asking for the support of all
students for this worthwhile
cause. Organizations or
departments can supply their
own dancers who will find their
own sponsors at any amount per
hour. This is an excellent project
for fraternity and sorority
pledges to participate in. Prizes
will be given to the organization
with the most money and to the
single dancer with the most
money.
For additional information
contact Cathy Turner or Nina
Jones at 291-0338 in Hilley Hall.
Circle K must be informed of the
participants by the first Monday
in October.
such a project. Classes in
broadcast journalism could be
started and students could get
"on the job training." The radio
station project needs the full
support of the student body. If
anyone has any questions,
suggestions, ideas, experience,
or would like to help, then

Howard (]hapel
l)rawiii|i;s Heeeiitly
("oiiiiiiissioned
Jerry Miller, a top-ranked
North Carolina pen and ink
artist, has been commissioned
by Atlantic Christian College to
do one of his finely detailed pen
and ink drawings of Howard
Chapel,
Bill Smith, director of alumni
affairs at the college, has been
exploring the idea with Miller
since early summer. After final
concurrence by Dr. Arthur
Wenger, it was agreed that
Miller would complete a limited
edition of 350 pen and ink
lithographs, each individually
numbered by the artist, to be
ready for purchase by mid-
September.
First priority for these
Howard Chapel prints will be
made to the alumni on a first
come basis. There will not be
any additional prints made after
the 350 limited edition is sold out,
so there is very little likelihood
of the prints being offered to the
public. In fact, with over 7,000
active members, and only 350
prints available, you should
write now to assure yourself one
of these prints. All profits from
the sale will go to the Alumni
Fund.
Each print measures 10 inches
by 14 inches, and will be printed
on the finest quality of heavy
textured paper. Priced at $10
each, the value can only in
crease once the edition of 350 is
sold out.
Born and raised in the heart of
North Carolina, Sanford in Lee
County, Miller has an extensive
background in the architectural
field. He attended Elon College,
