ACC: Spending The Money
This year’s Homecoming Queen is Patricia Williams, a junior English
Major from Enfield, N.C. She was elected ahead of Delores Williams
and Ellen Bowen, first and second runners-up. “The Collegiate” looks
forward to the reign of the current queen. Many belated
congratulations to the outgoing queen, Karen Dick.
Homecoming
Homecoming 1975 proved to be
one of the best ever. AC is proud
to announce their Queen, Miss
Patricia Williams, who was
crowned Friday night at the
dance. Patricia is well known on
our campus for her outstanding
willingness to be an active part
of the environment. She is in
volved in many organiqations
and gives of herself to make
those around her happy.
Patricia displays great talent,
which has been seen in her
performances on campus with
her violin. Along with these and
many other qualities she is a
beautiful girl with a sweet and
likeable personality.
Congratulations goes to
Psychology Club for being the
wmner of the best float in the
parade Saturday morning.
Appreciation goes to the Junior
Class, Sophomore Class, Afro
awareness, Day Satudents, and
the Kazoo Band for their entries
in making the parade a success.
Also congratulations goes to
New Dorm and Hackney Hall for
being the winners of the best
decorated dorms.
This year there was definitely
more student participation to
make homecoming enjoyable to
all. I feel the Alumni were proud
to come back and visit their
Alma Mater and see the type of
involvement you as students
showed last weekend. Thank you
student body for what you have
done to make the activities
successful.
A special thanks goes to Mr.
Bill Smith who is in charge of
ALUMNI affairs for without him
homecoming would have been
impossible. Appreciation also
goes to the entertainment
committee for their choice of a
band for the dance. I am sure we
all now await for next year’s
homecoming which will take
place in the bicentennial year of
our country.

There is a popular saying
which goes something like this:
“Money doesn’t mean
everything, but it sure is way
ahead of whatever is in second
place.’’ The truth of this
statement may be open to
question, but nonetheless,
money certainly has an
important role in the
maintenance of college
organizations, ACC not
excluded.
Atlantic Christian College
must have a new budget each
year that will suit the current
fiscal needs of the institution.
The money for the budget is
based upon the tuition from the
number of students enrolled in
the college and is not clearly
identifiable until after the fall
“drop-add” period.
At such a time as the money
appropriated for the college
budget is known, the SGA
instructs each camps
organization to decide upon, and
ask for a budget suited to its
needs. The faculty advisor and
the president of each
organization have the
responsibility for this decision
and must submit the properly
signed requisition to the SGA
Board.
A budget must then be worked
out which will as closely as
possibly, fulfill the needs of each
organization. It must be done
without going over the amount of
money appropriated for college
use throughout the fiscal year.
This time consuming task is
mainly the responsibility of the
SGA treasurer elected by the
student body. This year the
responsibility rests on SGA
treasurer Allen Stallings.
Each year, the treasurer must
present this proposed budget to
the SGA executive board at least
one day before the meeting. A
motion of acceptance on each
item must be made by the
treasurer before the board. In
the event that items are voted
down, the budget must be
rearranged to a greater or lesser
degree.
Drums And Fifes To Perform
_ • - 1,4 -
KM*
The Music Department of ACC has formed the Fife and Drum Corps to
commemorate the nation’s bicentennial. The group strives for
authenticity in uniform and music. This group marks the first major
step towards participating in the national birthday.
On Saturday, November 1, the
A.C.C. Band took on a “new
look” with an “appearance of
old” as it salutes the Bicen
tennial celebration with the
initial performance of the A.C.C
Drum and Fife Corps as part of
the Homecoming festivities. The
Corps, under the direction of Dr.
Andrew Preston and drum
major Randy Barham, marched
in the Homecoming parade at
10:00 A.m. and presented a
concert on the center campus at
3:00 P.M.
Organized in September, the
Fife and Drum Corps has come a
long way in a very short time
because of the fine efforts of
many people. With the help of -
A.C.C. student, Hannah Mason,
working in Williamsburg, and
Mr. John C. Moon, Musikmaster
of Colonial Williamsburg,
authentic colonial Amecican
music and dress were selected
for the use of the college corps.
Since then. Dr. Preston has
worked with the group with
instruments and music while the
A.C.C. Women’s Club has spent
countless hous cutting, sewing,
and fitting uniforms. Finan
cially, the Corps received a
much needed boost from a $750
donation from the Evening
Kiwanis Club of Wilson.

On being approved by the
executive board, the budget is
voted on by the student body to
make the appropriations official
Checks must then be signed by
the SGA President and
Treasurer who are both bonded
in case of financial disorder.
One given official status,
appropriations are made to
individual organizations which
would include not only clubs, but
student committees,
associations, classes, the
Collegiate, the Pine Knot, and a
variety of other groups as well.
For example, seventeen
separate groups will be allotted
a total of $47,000.00 this year out
of the requested total of
$56,446.74,
Each organization may spend
its money as it wishes with the
provision that its budgetary
boundaries may not be violated.
This money, then, is spent on
numerous projects including
gifts to the school, Homecoming
events, coffee houses, concerts,
lectures, plays, supplies, and
dances. Travel expenses and
phone bills must also be paid.
One may reasonably conclude
that the budget indeed plays an
important part in the ability of
the college organizations to
function properly for the benefit
of all The formulation of a
budget is a long and complicated
process and coming with it, is a
great amount of responsibility.
