THE STUDENT VOICE
editorial
Last semester, every once in a while I took the liberty to write my
Editorials any one single train of thought. 1 realize that some of
you have never seen any form of thought in my Editorials, so this
week ought to be nothing out of the ordinary for you. This week, 1
am about to embark on a journey through the nooks and crannies
of my mind and let you know what is up there. And please, don’t
try to l(xik for any unifying factors in this article, because there are
none.
Hirst off. I'd like to say a word about Spirit Night last
Monday...Hogwash. Please don't get me wrong, I’m all for the
promotion of school spirit, but I don't feel that justice was severed
in this case. 1 was glad that the guys won their game, and upset to
see the girls lose, (they were both great games) but I was even
more upset when the awards for the most spirited were given out
at the end of the game. In case some of you weren't there and
haven't heard, the Phi Mu's were the recipients of the coveted
trophy. Let’s get one thing straight before 1 go any futher, 1 have
nothing against any one of the Phi Mu's, nor do I have any qualms
with any of the Greek organizations' members. At least not any
more than any other organization here on campus. What I am
trying to say is that in declaring this sorority as the most spirited
group on campus this year, a great injustice was done to another
group. I am refering to that self-formed group, made up mostly of
blacks, that have made it to almost every sporting event this
school year. I doubt that any of the Phi Mu’s can make that claim.
Nor could the Tri Sigs. Nor the Dee Zees, Sig Bps, Alphas nor any
of the rest of them, I guess the point I’m trying to get across is that
anyone can come to a sporting event one night out of the season,
get all dressed up, sit in a group, and yell and cheer no matter
what happens out on the floor or field. But it takes true dedication
to follow the teams around all year, pay an unsuspected $4.00 to
get into a game, to cheer when appropriate, and let the Ref know
when he is wrong. This, in essence is what these fine folks have
done. They have given encouragment to the teams all year round.
Yet where were these other organizations when there was a
sporting event? Why, Downtown of course, doing what they do
best: parting and socializing. So to all you people in the Unnamed
Orgamization, 1 present you with the Collegiate’s First Annual
Most Spirited, Most Supportive Award. It may not be much, but at
least you now have public recognition.
Now, for those of you that haven’t thrown the paper down in
dicuss„ the next item to be mauled over is the week-end life here
on campus.
Now 1 would like to take this time to remind all of you two
things. One, If you would like to have an article published, it must
have your name on it and it must be in the Collegiate office no later
than 6:00 on the Tues. before the paper is to be published. And the
second thing is all Letters to the Editor must be signed.
And no Steve Kyte, I will not put your name in the paper just
because you like to see you name in print.
Well, I think that about wraps it up for now. So, until next week,
keep those cards and letters coming, we’re wanting and waiting to
hear from you.

Entertainment Chairman for
Afro Awareness Society
What 1 see here on Atlantic
Christian College’s campus is
something that disturbs me; it is
“separation.” I am fully aware
of people’s personal hang-ups,
but more than one hang-up can
be a drag and a burden to those
who are trying to make progress
in today’s society.
What 1 see are beautiful
people on this campus who are
fortunate to have two cultures.
The first culture was given to
these people from the beginning
of historical civilization in Egypt
thousands of years ago. It is
needless to say that the African
culture handed down from many
generations has layed the
foundations for a progressive
people in today’s society. Also,
the African culture is a very
unique edifying and influential
What I See
culture of which the black race
can be proud. The American
culture shows the rapid pro
gress of the Black man. From
bondage of slavery, to being a
free man and then to becoming
a United States representative
has shown great progress in less
than one hundred years.
What 1 see as a problem is my
brothers and sisters both doing
their own things. There are
many separated minute cliques
in all the residential dormitories
on the Atlantic Christian Col
lege campus. The cliques are
not what I am against, it is the
separation of the many cliques.
The Afro-Awareness Society
is the largest Black Organization
on this campus, whether you
know it or not. The Afro-Aware
ness Society would like to
extend cultural contacts to both
Black and White students. Next
month, the second week of
February, the Afro-Awareness
Society will be presenting
“Black History Week.” Events
are now being planned to the
interest of all students. Certain
highlights of this week wil
shock ignorance, direct those
who are wondering what to do
or where to go, educate every
one who is naive about Black
culture, give elucidation to an
oblique mind, and then give
spiritual uplift for a downcast
soul. Black will definitely exploit
the Black man’s heritage and
his culture.
So, cliques, let’s pull together
and be a part of the bigger
organization to which everyone
Black is a member; whether you
are a paid member, a don’t c»k
member, a don’t give a damn
member, or whatever your per
sonal hang-up is member. The
Afro-Awareness Society would
like to remind you that Black is
still beautiful at Atlantic Christ
ian College.
Letters to
the Editor
The Social Science Club
would like to make an apology to
the Student Government Asso
ciation for a misunderstanding
printed in last week’s Colleg
iate. According to the article
entitled New York or Bust, the
Social Science Club was in
formed by the Student Govern
ment Association that they
could not receive SGA funds to
aid in the cost of the United
Nations Student Conference.
This statement was not. correct.
The Student Government As
sociation very politely asked the
Social Science Club to look for
other funds available at Atlantic
Christian College. After meet
ing with Dr. Doster, the Social
Science Club discovered that no
other funds are now available
outside of those in possession of
the Student Government As
sociation. The Student Govern
ment Association has been very
helpful, and agreed on Tuesday,
January 30, to reconsider the
merit involved in the need of the
Social Science Club for funds to
go to New York for the Student
United Nations Conference.
The Social Science Club
would like to commend the SGA
for the job they are doing as an
asset to the students of Atlantic
Christian. We would like to
extend our apologies to the SGA
for the mistake in last week’s
Collegiate caused by our misun
derstanding.
TDNCUES OF FIRE^
Have you heard about the
Christian Tea Bag? Well, it is
popularly believed that you can
tell whether a Christian is
genuine or not by his actions in
Hot Water. A genuine Christian
will become stronger when he
confronts problems (Hot Water)
whereas a lukewarm Christian
will be out of place in Hot
Water. When confronted with
problems a lukewarm Christian
will “lose his cool” and not
triumph over his tribulations.

It should be our daily ptayei
that God will enable us to exer
cise our Christian muscles and
become stronger from the ad
versity. As Ann Kiemel (one of
God’s incredible, humble sain
ts) would say. “Our greatest
growth...Every miracle..,comes
to us out of adversity.”
How about you? What do you
do when you get mad or find
yourself in a difficult dilemma?
