NUMBER NINE
The apathy of the AC student body was displayed two weeks ago in this
meager turnout of students at the Student Board of Trustees meeting
on Oct. n.
Science Dept
Cooperative Studies
The Department of Science on
the A.C.C. campus has en
deavored this year as in the past
to offer an educational
curriculum in an interesting
manner for the student. At the
present time, this is being at
tempted in three ways
primarily.
First, and closest to the
campus, are the local field trips
taken by various classes in the
Science Department, These trips
serve as invaluable tools of
education as well as a means of
variation from the regular
classroom experiences. Students
benefit from the knowledge
gained on field trips that cannot
be as easily obtained in a
classroom although lab is
stressed in addition to classroom
lectures.
Second in the attempt to help
the student benefit fully in the
study of science are the weekend
excursions often taken by
various advanced level classes
in the Science Department. For
example, the Plant Kingdom
class (Bio. 306) and several
other interested students spent
the weekend of October 18th-20th
in the Black Mountain area of
North Carolina under the
supervision of Mr. Graham of
the Science Department. The
purpose of this trip taken each
fall is to provide the students
with the opportunity to see
plants in their natural mountain
habitat. These plants are
primarily fungi, mosses, slime
molds, jelly fungi, mushrooms,
and ferns. Students in small
group trips such as these gain
not only educational value, but
an enjoyable experience as well.
Although the mountain trip is the
one “big” trip of the year, other
trips taken by science students
to the coastal areas of the state
are being considered for the
spring semester.
Emphasis must also be placed
on the course curriculum by the
Science Department while
taking into consideration the
importance of both local and
distant area field trips and
excursions. At present, the
department offers A.C.C.
students the Bachelor of Science
Degree in Biology and
chemistry with minors
available in Biology, Chemistry,
or Physics. In addition to
teacher preparation in the area
science, a medical technology
program is offered by the
department, and provisions are
made through this department
for the basic science courses of
the nursing curriculum. The
latter program includes a three
year study of prescribed courses
on the A.C.C. campus followed
by twelve months of study at an
approved school of medical
technology. This fourth year of
study is transferable back to
A.C.C. for graduation. At the
present time, A.C.C. and
Wesleyan College of Rocky
Mount have a cooperative
arrangement in which advanced
level chemistry courses offered
in the curriculum of Wesleyan
College are being made
available to A.C.C. students for
credit towards graduation. The
hope of the Science Department
for the future is to extend this
area of cooperation between
the colleges to other areas of
science. This would broaden and
enrich the cirriculum, par
ticularly freshman courses of
botony and zoology are con
sidered for the future. The
Science Club of our Science
Department is affiliated with the
N.C. Collegiate Academy of
Science which is in turn af
filiated by the N.C. Academy of
Science.
The Science Department of
A.C.C. has industriously en
deavored to benefit the students
under its instruction to the
fullest extent. In all of these
areas the department has
succeeded and hopes to fulfill its
plans for the future similarly.

These are the proposals which
the Administration recom
mended to the Board of Trustees
yesterday at 10 a.m. Action
regarding these changes will be
the result of the Trustees' vote.
These recommendations and the
resulting vote are to be in the
HEW office at Atlanta by
November 4.
In order that we may provide
equal treatment for men and
women in the residence halls of
Atlantic Christian College, we
wish to make the following
suggestions for your con
sideration:
1. The employment of student
resident assistants for all
residence halls. Suggested
numbers: Harper Hall 6, New 6,
Hilley 5, Waters 5, Caldwell 3,
and Hackney 6. Total 31.
2. Security:
a. In order to lock all
residence halls at midnight each
night and still permit students to
have access to go and come, it
seems necessary to employ
mature personnel to man the
desk in all residence halls
(except Hackney) from mid
night to 3 a.m.
b. It would be necessary for
students to present Coded
Identification Cards to the
person working between 12:00
and 3 a.m. for entrance. Persons
wishing to enter the residence
halls between 3 a.m. and 7 a.m.
should report to the security
guard station with proper
identification. If the guard is
making a round, the student
should wait until the guard
returns.
3. Timing:
Implementation of this new
suggested system should be
accomplished no later than the
beinning of the 1975 fall
semester.

Dorm Changes 1975-76 Year Add

Vocal Ensemble
Concert
T onight
The Atlantic Christian College
Vocal Ensemble will be
presented in its fall concert,
under direction of Robert
Daniel, tonight in Howard
Chapel on the college campus, at
8 p,m. Assisting will be Andrew
Preston of the music faculty,
and a student, John Doran,
The program will consist of
two brief Renaissance motets
“Ave vera virginitas,” by
Josquin des Pres and “Exultate
Deo,” by Alessandro Scarlatti,
Following will be a motet of
Johannes Brahms: “O Heiland
reiss die Himmel auf” (O
Savior, throw the heavens wide).
Catches and Rounds from the
17th century will follow. A
collection of works by early
Baroque English composers, the
most notable of which is Henry
Purcell, these rounds reflect the
rough yet good-natured “punch
bowl” wit of British clubmen
during the 1600’s. Concluding the
program the ensemble will
perform arrangements of three
J.S. Bach works in the jazz vocal
style of Ward Swingle. Ac
companied by string bass and
drums, these along with other
selections were made popular
during the 1950’s by the “Swingle
Singers.”
The concert is open to the
public. No admission will be
charged.
