“Council” Calls
for Unity
A call for unity seemed to be
the major theme of the first
dinner meeting of the “Council
of Presidents” last Monday
evening in Hardy Alumni Hall.
(Members from 45 of the cam
puses 50 organizations were on
hand to take part in the first of
several dinner-meetings to be
held throughout the year. After a
hot meal of roast beef and baked
ham, Dr. Doster said a few
opening words and thanked us
all for coming.
Dr. Doster then asked each of
us to say a few words about our
clubs or organization. The next
hour and ten minutes were spent
discussing the objectives, hopes
and the accomplishments this
year of each of the groups. The
most common goal seemed to be
k that of group unity, not only
I within the group, but also with
other groups as well. One
representative said, “By
working together, we feel that
we’ll be able to accomplish a lot
more for the student body,” This
idea was conveyed several times
during the evening.
Other interesting topics
brought up by the Council were:
Plans for the Inauguration in
October
Membership drives for
several of the clubs
Plans fora Baby Face Contest
Pla ns for Action groups
Spirit boosters and pep rallies
School Dicos and Banquets
Service projects
National and International
trips
Seminars
A Sadie Hawkins Weekend
All who attended seemed to
have a good time and enjoyed
listening to ideas for the coming
school year.
Following is a list of all the
organizations that were
represented:

Placement Office
Offers Help
It now is the time for all good
seniors to prepare for their entry
into the world of work or
graduate school. The A.C.
Placement Office, under the
auspicious guidance of Bruce B.
Tingle, is ready and willing to
help the students as much as
possible to give them an op
portunity to find the best job
possible.
The Placement Office needs
the help of the student to provide
the best service possible,
though. Every graduating
student has a placement packet
in the Placement Office. These
students should go by the office
and pick up their packet to
complete it. The office needs the
completed packets as soon as
possible. After the packets are
completed, each student should
make an appointment with Mr.
Tingle to discuss their future
plans.
(The Placement Office
regularly hosts recruiters from
businesses all over the area and
I beyond. This gives the students
I an excellent opportunity to meet
|! with those persons who are able
to provide them with a secure
future.
Mr. Tingle is proud of the
success of the Placement Office
in providing an excellent service
for the student. But the service
cannot be provided without the
help and cooperation of the
student. Without the completed
placement packet, the office is in
no position to help the student.
During the first week of
October, several recruiters will
be on campus, and from then on,
Mr. Tingle expects a full
schedule of recruiting. All
seniors are urged to get their
placement packet completed as
soon as possible.
In addition, Mr. Tingle will be
getting together with the majors
of various departments in order
to work with those departments
as best he can. All students,
whether they are seniors or not,
are urged to be present at these
meetings.
Seniors again, should prepare
for the first week of October,
when recruiters from Burroughs
Business Machines, the Internal
Revenue Service, and South
western Bank and Trust will be
here. Tingle reminds the
students that this is the best
opportunity for them to find
meaningful employment before
they leave school, so they should
have their packets ready, before
this week arrives. The
Placement Office is here to
serve the students.
WHAT STUDENTS WATCH
(CPS) — College seniors
apparently watch less television
than college freshmen, at least
according to a survey by the
University of South Carolina.
Freshmen women, the survey
found, are the most avid TV
watchers, averaging 10.2 hours a
week. Senior men and women
average 4.2 hours a week.
Opening comments by Dr. Doster were well received by all.

A Touch of Holland at AC
79-
?39
If anyone thinks they live far
from home and miss their family
and friends and feel sorry for
themselves, they should cheer
up ... there are some people who
live farther from Wilson then
they do. Corine de Ruiter is one
of them and she is from Holland.
Why would an interesting
person like Corine want to come
from the Netherlands and live in
the United States? Corine ex
plains that in Holland there are
three levels of High School and
one can only go to a University if
he or she graduated from the
highest level of High School. The
eight universities in Holland are
for the very intelligent. Upon
entering a University the
student immediately begins to
have classes in his or her major
area of study. Therefore, after
High School graduation the
major must be declared before
entering the university. Corine
had not decided what she wanted
to major in when she graduated,
in the Spring of 1978, so she made
plans to come to the United
States. In her own words, Corine
said she is taking a break here in
the United States until she
decides what she wants to major
in.
Two things helped Corine with
her adjustment to life
“American Style.” First of all,
she had studied English for six
years and secondly she par
ticipated in a program for
foreign students called
“Experiment in International
Living.” This program helps a
foreigner adjust to his new
surroundings and provides a
“home away from home” for
them, Corine stayed in Georgia
for three weeks, before coming
to Atlantic Christian Cojlege,
AiTanti
By KI.'VIHKRI.IKGH McRAK
with a family that introduced
her to American society.
Corine commented on the
differences in food, climate, and
holidays which she found
unusual in our culture. She had
never had scrambled eggs
before she came to America. For
breakfast in Holland one usually
has a cold breakfast or
sometimes they have toast with
jam, cheese, or chocolate
sprinkles on it. Another unusual
feature Corine discovered was
that cars in the U. S. are air
conditioned. There is no need for
air conditioned cars in Holland
because the hottest temperature
recorded in the summer is 70
degrees! One of the holidays that
is celebrated in Holland than the
United States, is Christmas.
Instead of distributing gifts on
December 25, Corine and her
family exchange gifts among
themselves and special friends
on December 5.
Last week, Corine attended
her first football game. It was a
new experience for her, because
she is used to watching soccer
games in Holland. Corine enjoys
ice-skating at home, as a matter
of fad she is a spt‘ed .skater.
Unfortunately, Corine will not be
doing many physical activites
for awhile, because she sprained
her ankle on Monday in tennis
class. When her injury heals
students can be sure they will
find her in the gym playing
Volleyball.
Since it is always cloudy in
Holland, Corine is thankful for
all the sunshine Wilson has to
offer. Likewise, Wilson is thank
ful that Corine chose to come to
A. C. to further her education.
Corine is to be admired for her
outgoing personality, her in
terest in new people, and her
involvement in new experiences.
One can learn many interesting
facts from conversations with
Corine. Corine wants to learn
more about the people and
customs of America, so feel free
to visit and talk with her in
Wenger Dorm. We can all
contribute our efforts to make
A.C. Corine’s second home.
UCCF on the Go
Many of us have had ex
periences with grandparents
going to live in homes for the
aged. It becomes increasingly
hard for families to visit twice,
once, or even fewer times a
week. Quite often the eldery
have had no one to visit except
during Christmas when all girl
scouts, church youth groups and
civic clubs pour on the carols. If
you would like to join in a bit of
off-season celebration, come
with UCCF (United Campus
Christian Fellowship) to the
Wilson Clonvalescent Center this
iMon^y^pjg^t ^si{^f^o^k
Wilson, N. C.
and pass out goodies. We will
meet in Hardy Alumni Hall at
6:15 to go over a few songs and to
get organized. P'rom there we
will go as Mrs. Alice Dilda,
manager of volunteer groups
instructed us to sing out in the
lobby where most residents
could hear. Hopefully we will be
able to go around and speak to
each of the forty residents,
maybe remembering Granny,
Grandpa, and ol’Aunt Ida back
home.
Thanks,
Lynette Bingham
President of UCCF
