Budget Approved
ACC to Witness Changes
Beginning with the fall
semester of 1975, Atlantic
Christian College men and
women dormitory students may
observe identical housing
regulations, if a plan adopted by
the College trustees is ultimately
approved by the Department of
Health, Education, and Welfare.
Basically, the plan provides
that all dormitory students will
observe self-regulating hours,
but after midnight students will
have to present identification to
be admitted to the residence
halls which will be locked at that
time. Individual dormitories
may, by vote of the residents,
adopt more stringent security
measures.
In its fall meeting on Wed
nesday, Atlantic Christian
College trustees expressed their
willingness “to abide strictly by
the law” but protested against
the threat of loss of federal
Sculpture
on Display
A one-man show of sculptures
by Prof, Paul VanZandt,
chairman of the Pembroke State
University Art Department, is
the current exhibit in Case Art
Building gallery. The exhibit
will continue through Nov. 26.
Reared in the Southwest,
VanZandt received his B.F.A.
degree from Oklahoma State
University and the M.F.A.
degree from Tulane University.
He has been a member of the
Pembroke State faculty for the
past six years, teaching mainly
in the area of sculpture and
ceramics.
He has exhibited widely in the
southeastern region of the
country and has had many one-
man exhibits. He won the
Atlantic Christian College
purchase award for “Totem,” a
sculpture at the 1972 Artists
Annual at the N.C. State
Museum. The work is currently
exhibited in Hardy Library.
The 15 pieces in the show
represent work done over the
past three years. Most are
mixed-media pieces and include
elements of clay, bronze,
leather, iron and plexiglass. The
size range varies from 15 inches
to 10 feet high.
The public is invited. There is
no admission charge. Gallery
hours are: Monday through
Friday, lo a.m. to 5 p.m., and 7-9
p.m. on Tuesday.
financial support to secure
compliance.
The plan being proposed is
intended to bring the college into
compliance with Title IX of the
Education Amendments of 1972.
This law requires colleges
receiving federal funds not to
discriminate on the basis of sex.
Action in this area at Atlantic
Christian was begun last spring
when three students complained
to DHEW that the college un
fairly discriminated against

College alumni returned
Saturday to their alma mater for
Homecoming Day activities.
Mrs. Dorothy Hodges of New
Bern, was named president of
the Atlantic Christian College
Alumni Association during a
special alumni business meeting
held at noon.
Named vice president of the
association was Mrs. Aileen
Parish of Wendell. Other officers
elected were Mrs. Isabelle Dunn
of Raleigh, secretary; Harry
Laing of New Bern, treasurer;
and Donald Stanley of Greens
boro, alumni representative to
the ACC Board of Trustees.
Named to the association’s
board of directors were: Mrs.
Doris Bunn of Garner, Onnie

which the association can

women dormitory students. The
Atlanta DHEW office asked the
college to remedy these
allegations. The college then
asserted its obligation for
security to women students as
justification for different rules
and cited a Kentucky circuit
court decision as precedent.
The Atlanta office rejected
this case as not being legally
applicable and insisted that the
college take action to remove
alleged sexual discrimination in
dormitory rules. The proposed
plan was then developed over a
period of several weeks in
consultation by several college
groups involving students,
faculty, administrators, and
trustees.
One result of the plan, if put
into actions, will be a small
increase in dormitory room
charges to emply additional
personnel to administer it. In
commenting on the subject,
Atlantic Christian president
Arthur D. Wenger said, “It is
obvious that the trustees of the
college believe that we have a
strong obligation to protect the
personal security of our
students.”
A record expenditure budget
of $3,971,963 for the 1974-75 fiscal
year was approved by the
trustees of Atlantic Christian
College at their fall meeting on
Wednesday afternoon.
Other actions included
receiving the 1973-74 annual
report of president Arthur D.
Wenger, the re-election of of
ficers and executive committee,
and the passing of memorial
resolutions.
President Wenger reported
that last year the College
operated in the black by $1,414.
When a deficit of $13,772 had
been anticipated a year ago. In
comment. Dr. Wenger said,
“The fact that a slight excess of
revenue over expenses occurred
represents the commitment of
the College to a sound fiscal
policy adding to the overall
viability of the program. '
He also reported that last year
the College administered
student aid to 614 students
amounting to $634,548. Of this
$236,454 came from the recently
instituted state-financial student
aid program. $209,421 from
federal sources, and the balance
