Attended By Collegians
On Thursday. November 7, tie
Gl« Club went to RaleiRh for the
Sute Convention of the Disciples
o( Christ, held at the Hillyer Mtii.-
„n»l Christian Church. Thursday
oight is always considered A. C.
College night. At 6 o’clock a ban-
nutl supper was given in the base-
mtnt of the church for alumni,
fsculty, and present students of
ibe college.
L»r. Hilley presided at the sup
per. B. Mattox, President o£
the Alumni Association gave a
p.e* to the alumni to visit their
Ainui Mater and help it when they
could. Kussel Roebuck was intro-
iuced to the group as the new
secrtrtary of the Alumni Aaso-
cmuon. Mr. Roebuck gave out
copies of the alumni edition of the
“U>iWgiate” tl#t was published
for and distributed on Homecom
ing i^ay-
timer Mottern, president of the
Senior Clasa, spoke briefly about
the improvements that he has
seen during his four years at At-
uintic Christian College.
Ur. Mildred Hartsock, Head of
the Knglish Department, spoke
from tne viewpoint of a newcomer
in the faculty. She aUted things
U:at she purticularly liked about
our college and mentioned sev
eral things that she would like to
see done at this college in the near
future.
The Glee Club and the Girls
Quartet rendered several seiec-
tion.s at the banquet.
After the meal, services were
held in the main audit^um of
the church. The Glee Club offered
the np^tial. music,, and Mar^raret
Garris sang a solo.
Dr. Gould Wickey, of Washing
ton, 1). C., delivered the address.
He is a l*h.D from Harvard, a
pastor and a college professor,
and now holds the position of
general secretary of the National
Conference of Church • Related
Colleges.
Speaking, Dr. Wickey discussed
the place of the Church-related
college in “such a time as this.”
lie said there has been a gubtl.}
suggestion through the years that
the church-related college will dis
appear, but that any college will
disappear if it is not supported.
What is our product ? Is the
product worth the price? Do the
ie&sons of the past indicate that
there is a position in our world
for church-related colleges? What
ii education? The church schools
have maintained the true mean
ing of education by teaching the
student instead of the subject, and
by having a student-centered not
a method-centered program.
Some people think an institu
tion is not a i^ollege unless it has
lartfe and l>eautiful buildings. We
have so verified quantity that wc
have forgotten quality! In vain
»e build a college unless the stu
dent also grows. The church-re
lated colleges have awakened in-
l^rejit in higher education. The
‘hurch has always been interest-
in education. 160 of the 182
colleges before the Civil War were
church schools. The church estab-
liahed the first Junior College m
America, not the sUte.
'^e accept the separation of tlie
state and the church, but we can-

Day Is Hailed
As A Success

W.VHl)
All tile A. C, Dugpatchers gath
ered in front of the gym on Satur
day night, Noveml)er U, for the
annual observance of Sadie Haw-
kin’s Day.
The girls of Dogpatch had a
predatory gleam in their eyes and
the swains of the campus were
gathered in bunches bemoaning
their fate.
At 8 o'clock the race began
All over the front campus they
ran. Each boy running for his
freedom and ail the girls out to
get them a man. At the end of the
time jiniic, the giris dpigged in
their catches and “Nubbin” came
down a tree....a free man, tlie
only one left in such a condition.
David Snipes didn’t have a chance,
i'hat Gardner girl was bigger’n
he was in the first place. Gene
i'omliiison hot-footed it after
Claude “Pappy Yokum" floward,
and “Dutch” Miller got cotched by
one Irma Lee Spencer. Of course
Mag hung onto Johnny.. .without
any resistance from him. and
Rachel was assured of getting Bob
before the race started. Theresa
didn't have to run very fast to
catch Neal and Joe Frank prac
tically turned and chased Kloise.
After the boys got themselves
so they “couldn't wiggle,” both
catchers and catchees went back
to tite K>in. A very interesting
contest was held using the belovvd
Po’k Chops of Dogpatch land. The
girls formed a circle around an
inner circle of boys. A boy was
given a package of pork chops and
a girl was given a frying pan. At
a signal the girls started pas.sing
the frying pan and the boys start
ed pas-sing the pork chops. At an
other signal the pas.sing was stop
ped and the girl and boy holding
the frying pan and pork chops
stood up. The boy put the po'k
chops in the pan held by the girl
and was forced to do whatever she
told him to. St Clair Caddell had
to prove his acrobatic ability by
standing on his head.
Sadie Hawkin’s Day just could
not pass without the leaping con
test. To look at these girls leaping
made us think that there might
be something to Mr. Grimm’s re-

College and University are nelect-
ed on the above mentioned basis
und this n*cognition ii one that
iM foremost in the nation of high
er educational institutions.
John K. Wooten, of Grifton,
KFI), is perhaps the most single
outstanding student on the entire
vumpus and his career is one of
the most illustrioua of any stu
dent to graduate in recent years
On combing through the dusty
records of the year 1937-38, we
find John a typical freshman
falling for upperclass pranks,
watching some of the boys loae ir
“spanktale hearts'*, making eyes i
at some young freshman girls, and {
occasionally pulling pronkn on hi* |
two roommates... the most single
honor in his frenhman year. John
received bids from all three fra
ternities (few men make such hon
or). However, John pJedg^-d J'hi
Kappa Alpha Fraternity.
Crashing into politic« in the
fall of his second year at A. C.
John was elected President of the
Sophomore class. Shortly after
the political call, John found him
self working diligently on the
fJusiness Staff of THK COLLE
GIATE. Sp<-aking of offices it's
hard to find jobs this Wooten Boy
hasn't held down: in his fraterni
ty- sergeant-at-arms, vice-presi
dent, reporter; sec-treaaurer of the
Boy's Dormitory Council; member
of the Quester’i Club; active tv
the y. M. C. A. The triumphant
moment came when the students
rallied to give him a vote of con
fidence by selecting him over sev
eral popular candidate* for Pres
ident of the C^perative A*socia-
,ion. Thi- position he has served
well and it is most appropriate
that he should be chosen among
those who win shine as an exam
ple of Atlantic Christian gentle
men.

Honor Discussion
Brings Criticism
A panel discussion, n|K>nsor«d
by the Golden Knot .So<’iety, was
held in chapel Tuesday morning,
November 12. The di“f*r“.tion wa*
centenni around the question of
honor. Irma I«e S)>encer. presi
dent of the Golden Knot, presided
over the meeting.
Some of the points discus'U'd
were: Is cheating going on In our
college? W'hat are we going to
do about cheating? Is it just a«
dishonc'st to give out information
as it is to receive information on
a test?
Iteportifng a piTi«on doe: no
good. The environment nhouid h«
so that a person cr»uld not r:h«*at
and still feel popular and liked a
mong the students. .Vo one tak^a
cheating around here seriously e>
nough. Students laugh at it, which
IS not the right attitude at all.
If a person's conscience will al
low him to cheat, he will cheat re-
gardle^.R. MayU* the {M*rson d<M*^
not realize that it in harmful and
it becomes a habit with him.
Honor is something each one
posseaaen. W'hen we don't r^^ad our
parallel, it hurts us, not the nro«
fessor.
