No Easter Holiday
Will Be Observed
Spring holi<lays will be
observed March 21-2!M
This annminci'ment was
made public to thi' student
body on F r i d a y morning.
March 5. It is tiu' first time
in the history of the college
that the tradition of Spring
vacation at Easti*r has bei'ii
broken. The action was ta
ken by the faculty at a meet
ing i>f the faculty to which
a petition calling for an ear
lier Spring recess, drawn up
and signed by the students
of the college, was present
ed.
The holidays, which would
have come April 21-2(i. were
moved back t<i the wei'k fol
lowing quarterly examina
tions. The reason for the pe
tition was given as being that
the rt-ce.ss would have come
too near the end of the school
year. This would have cre-
ati'd on the part of tin* stu
dents and the faculty a )iai<l-
ship as the final examina
tions are scheduled only oiu*
week later, A late ri'cess
would have given no tinie at
all for readjustment to school
work and preparation for fi
nal tests.
An announcement of the
same nature" Is that there will
be no form of holiday at
Easter time.
Editor’s N<ite:
The fact that there will
be no form of holiday at
Easter means that there must
be no cutting of cla.ssi's im
mediately preceding or fol
lowing Easter for such may
become double cuts. Most
students cannot stand such
cuts and if wholesale cutting
appt'ars. several may be

Do You Know Who Did It?
There is one thing I’d like every student on this cam
pus to take one look at. It’s the sign on the front campus
which in days before read, '‘Atlantic Christian College,
given by the class of '.'57.” At present, it’s (juite an “appre-

sign;
VV'hat do you suppose pa,ssers-by think? What do visitors
to our campus think? What do you yourself think?
Has it ever occurred to the persons responsible for
for its present appearance that the sign was not their own
property? Does respect for others and other’s belonging.s
play any part in the social world any longer? If it does,
then why do things like the event in question happen?
If you're guilty, stop such behavior. If you're not
guilty, find the guilty person and see him given due pun
ishment or at least try to keep such occurrences from
appearing again!
There is some talk that college students didn’t com
mit this act. If this is true, then, it is still the duty of the
students to seek out the culprits. If it is an act of out
siders, then action of some kind must be taken against
