There are two rea.sons why we consider it not expensive.
One is from the material stand-point; by that we mean
the lights can be removed and u.sed again. The other
reason is from the immaterial stand-point; by that we
mean that the value of impioved lights in terms of human
welfare is beyond the monetary value. We know we should
look to the future and spend our money wi.sely, but a few
years from now we will get no benefit from the lights.

Ijear Editor.
A common complaint we often
hear from our professors concerus
the seemlndy chronic tardiness of
•tudtnts to classes. I’m sure that
nearly everyone will feel a twinge
of guiltiness as they read this for
It is very few who even put forth
an effort to get to class on time.
Consequently, much time is lost
from each period.
Every day you can't fail to note
the (croups of students standing
about chattering, while the
teacher waits patiently for the
enterance of his class. Eventu
ally It becomes necessary for him
to ask them to kindly enter so
class may begin.
Why should there be such a
problem here In our college? We
are presumably here to acquire an
cduiatlon. So why should we
h hy Exclude Some ?
There has been .some complaint around the campus
recently concerning the prohibiting of the dormitory girls
to see the intramurals which are played in the gymnasium
each night after supper. The games, which get underway
about each week night are usually over at 7:15. As
ii.w.- I,,., ii. .11 I ■ ' . . ’Ihe girl.s ha\ e to be in their rooms at seven, they only see
I!" t ' '^."1 i the lirst few minutes of each game.
as I paused through, one girl was just finishing up her
cleaning chore. Her room diiln’t have a wool carpet on the
tliH>r and her furnishings weren't mahagony and velvets,
but her room wa.s clean! I thought to myself a.< I passed
how much I admire a peison who keeps her surroundings
clean. We all do as a matter of fact. It tells something
about a person. ... A couple of steps further 1 passed an
other door which stood open revealing a den.se jungle of
confusion. The contrast uas .so sharp that it became sick
ening and disgusting. . . . Wa» that Your Koom?
Kach <lny the halls are swept and the cla.ss room
straighteiU'd and cleaned. \ e," as fast as they are swept,
s imeone is there to tear down anil strow a mixture of
paper, candy, nuts, drink bottles, and the like. When
cla'tses begin the following morning no one would ever
suspect that a groom had i-ver hit the lloor. There is no
excuse for such abu.se! If it were the energy of the nine
year old or the adolesci'iise of the high .school .student
se. ping through rhen- might be some excuse for it, but
you’re not an ailolescant and you are not a nine year old.
\ou're an adult . . . supposedly and I want to know why
you don't act like one.
Several years back the .sluti. nts at Atlantic Christian
College didn’t have a nice dining hall and chapel as we
have today. Their (lining hall was where the library is now
and they helil chapel in the gym. Today we have a beauti
ful Chapel aiiil a very nice dining hall, but they won’t stay
beautiful long at the rati‘ they are taking a beating.
You know a building is very much like a boxer who
goes into the ring to fight. It takes time, intelligence, and
money to train a man for that fight and it takes time, in
telligence, and money to build a structure strong enough
Since the intiamurals are for the students and are
conducted by the studenUt^^ seems only fair that all
should be given an e«iual chance to see the games. Such
games are supposed to be supported by the student body,
but how is it po.ssibl w hen a part of them are confined to
their rooms while the activities are taking place?
There is an intramural game scheduled for almost
ever>- night during the coming semester. How can enthusi
asm be aroused when .some are excluded? If the college is
to be democratic, it cannot afford to let part of its student
body benefit from its activities while the other part is left
"out in the cold.” Hy n moving a trivial rule, the students
of the college couid make an all-out effort to support the
excellent intramural jirogram which has been outlined for
the year. The intramurals can be beneficial to the students;
but the students, too, can be beneficial to the intramural
program.
I)t*ar Kditor,
I am dlsKuested! We hare a
faculty member who was Ihought-
fiil enough lo place '*bult cans”
in the halls to catch flying? faK
butts. Yes, they are for clKarette
butts. Hut evidently we are not
aware of the purpose of these
cans because today 1 went to dis
pose of a “weed" to find the cans
flll»*d lo capacity with paper . . .
th<‘ butts were all over the floor?
If we are Koin^ to smoke in the
halls then lets nive the cans what
they ask for . . . fag butts!
Cooperatively yours,
“Nlcotina."
CAMPUS PERSONALITIES
Everybody stands around expectantly awaiting the din
ner bell.
Suddenly someone slowly walks through the dining hall
with the bell behind his back. The "bell-hider” is u.sually
Jack Daniel or Lib Ward, the dining hall supers’i.sors. I
suppose they are the best-liked of anyone on the campus
around show time.
Jack is the “Georgia Cracker” who always sees that

10 the Heather the storms. Whether that man stays in the has crackers with the regular Wednesday soup,
ring or not is usually up to his oponent. Well now if our i fi^rnishes crackers and Lib furnishes soup becau.se
cha|>el is to stay in fine shape then it's up to us lo keep j »he is used to the soupy weather of Williamston I try to
11 that way. Itul it won't take many rounds before our I furnish the corn,
chapel will be in the same shape as Kin.scy Hall is today.
That, my friends, is up to you. i I-ib and Jack work hard to .satisfy the food consumers.
Thi.'t year, our college has spent a great ileal of money ! '•^hey gel up early and go to breakfa.st every morning,
f^or etjuipmenl—net all we need, of course, but it's a lot of i That's probably more than anyone el.se can say Of course

that no one els«- does. We should be proud of the things . ‘ ^ ^ even if you can’t
that were done for our benefit. Now let’s show our appreci-
ation for these things by u-sing them in the best nossihl. They’re the ones to st>e if you want to get on the “good
side" of .someone. If you treat them exceptionally good,
maybe they will slip you an extra saccharine tablet for
your coffee or an extra com flake. There might even be an
extra buy in your pepper shaker for your own convenience.
Jack is a good cook, e.specially of cakes. He hasn’t of
fered me any as yet, but he Ulks about them veo’ much.
Lib cooks right much too. The fact is that she lives in a
■■kitchen." It's a sure thing that she can cook coffee. She
can make it smell good anyway.
Dear "Sid"
In reading your article of De
cember 13th I notlce<l that you
wrote in reference to basketball.
' \Vc were always under the im
pression that a college athletic
schedule was made up several
niontbs in advance lo the opening
of the season but that doesn’t
Seem to be the case at A.C.C."
I’ll grant that athletic schedules
are made up well in advance lo
the opening of the season, but I
think you’re somewhat unjust.
1 wonder if you took Into con
sideration when you wrote your
article that A.C.C.'s opening a
week iat.-r than scheduled could
have upset previous plans for a
basketball schedule.
•Margaret Taylor.
Dear Editor,
How sorry we feel for poor old
A.C.C. come next year. The United
.S'ations lost two of their Hlg
Thre<’, hut they had replacements
for them. Oh, but where could
A.C. ever And replacements for
Chapin, Columbo and Godwin?
Forming of the peace seems to
lie 0 pretty stiff task, but think
about forming a team at A C.
without these athletes. Of course
this question may easily be ans
wered by the coaching ability of
Coach .M. J. (Ited) Hlrd.
For instance, Hlrd seems to
know ^ust when to make substi
tutions. Ask anyone who saw the
game at -N’orfolk. Of course some
people think he should have play
ed the live boys that he left on
the bench after Bobby V. went
Into the Norfolk Training Sta
tion game. After all, it must be
pretty disheartening to practice
faithfully all season and then
watch someone who has been to
practice three or four days play
while you are sUting on the
bench.
However. Bird Is the coach and
he should know what is best. ’Who
am I to criticize?

is b4-nefici«l to the welfare of both the students and the fac
ulty, As our cla<sr<M)ms are already overcrowded and with

be even more acute.
