The Student Government
Association welcomed a special
guest to their Tuesday night
meeting as Dr. Harold Doster
made his first appearance at a
regular SGA meeting. While the
Board waited for enough
members to arrive in order to
have a quorum, Dr. Doster
fielded questions from the
Board.
After the quorum was finally
achieved, the Board began to dig
into their business. Dr. Doster
spoke up several times during
the meeting without even
waiting to be yielded the floor;
however, the Board felt that his
enthusiasm made up for his
inexperience and calmly ignored
Parlimentary procedure.
The SGA handled many items
of business as well as learning of
the results of last week’s Board
of Trustees meeting. The
members who were present took
time to pat themselves on the
back concerning their work
towards the naming of Wenger
Hall. They also passed a
resolution praising the now
defunct Special Constitution.
The Board of Trustees will
probably approve the Con
stitution in the very near future.
Erie Sellers, Elections
Committee chairman, discussed
the upcoming elections. He
informed members that anyone
who will be unable to vote in
person in the elections near the
end of this month will be able to
vote by absentee ballot. Those
persons who desire to do so must
contact Sellers and return the
ballots to him 24 hours before the
elections begin.
Cindy McNeil once again
brought with her a full agenda of
business, as she raised several
questions before the Board. One
of these concerns the possibility
of a practice wall at the tennis
courts. McNeil and other in
terested students were told to
take the request to the P.E.
Department.
Candidates for the upcoming
elections were reminded that
there is a mandatory meeting on
Wednesday, March 8. Exact
time and location will be an
nounced in that morning’s Green
Slate. Any candidate unable to
attend must get in touch with
Sellers before the meeting.

The Atlantic Christian College
Board (rf Trustees, at its mid
winter meeting held here this
week, took action to tentatively
approve a record operating
budget in excess of $5 million for
the coming academic year,
authorized an increase in tuition
and fees, officially namtxl a
major residence hall, approved
the appointment of a new dean of
the college and nominated new
members for election to the
board.
The board tentatively ap
proved an operating budget for
the 1978-79 academic year in the
amount of $5,325,940. an overall
increase of some 8 percent over
the current year. It also allows
for modest salar>’ increases for
faculty and staff.
Dr. Harold C. Doster,
president of the college, com
mented on the many bt'nefits to
be derived from the new budget.
He outlined 12 specific areas in
which the college plans to im
prove its overall program in
cluding the areas of academic,
extracurricula activities, plant
facilities and archives
development.
Also approved was an increase
in student tuition, room board
and fees totaling an ap
proximate average of $274 per
year (two semesters). Tuition
was increased $190, meals $40.
room $30 (average), activity fee
$10, and medical fee $4.
It was pointed out that with the
increases, Atlantic Christian
College charges would probably
remain within the lower 25
percent bracket of similar
private church-related in
stitutions within the state.
The board officially named the
college's newest major dor
mitory, the “Arthur D. Wenger
Residence Hall," in honor of the
late president of the college.
Earlier known as the New
Dormitory for Women, the six-
story structure is liK’ated at LtH>
and Deans strwts. across from

Ix' will assume his duties at
.Atlantic Chrsitian at the

Kussell D, Dement and Hugh H.

Mrs, Pittman
The Freshman probably
appreciate this lady the most.
Eating meals in the college
cafeteria that first semester
away from home isn’t quite the
same as sitting down to a
homecooked meal with your
mother smiling and making
certain that there are at least a
couple of things on the table that
you don’t detest. Well maybe
Mrs. Nettie Pittman can’t
guarantee that there will always
be something served which will
meet your approval, but she
does always have a smile on her
face and a pleasant word for
anyone who wants to talk.
Mrs. Pittman has worked in
the cafeteria for ten years. Her
job has brought her into contact
with many students and chances
are that she remembers the
names of at least half of them.
Although Mrs. Pittman’s co
workers tease her about being
unable to remember names, she
does possess a remarkable
memory which makes her a
favorite of all those students who
come into contact with the same
people every day and remain
nameless.
The secret of .Mrs. Pittman’s
popularity with the students
comes from her genuine interest
in their welfare, Mrs. Pittman
says that the thing which makes
her job so enjoyable is talking
with people. She has an open ear
for those with problems, a smile
