Bohunk Director Speight Keeps Busy
By CH.^RLKS SMIRLEV
No where else on campus is
there better evidence of the sue-
of ACC’s recent growth and
expansioa program than is to be
found in the new Alumni-Student
Center appropriately named the
S<jhunit. The person largely re
sponsible for the continual high
^andards of relaxation and en
tertainment afforded by the
^lumni-Student Center is its di
rector, Mrs. Louise Speight.
As I began my interview with
Mrs. Speight 1 was Immediately
struck by the fact that here is an
|ii)dividual who possesses that
rare combination of a deep in-
(>rest in her work and, even
ore important, a genuine in
terest in others. One of her first
omments was: “I’m really
riled over the opportunity of
serving as director of the Bo
hunk. I have had wonderful co
operation from the students, and
ny personal feeling is that the
Bohunk can become a training-
r>'Und for the development of
*tter citizenship and social atti-
udes of all concerned.”
Mrs. Speight, as director of the
enter, is in charge of the over-
11 planning (or student activities
arried on in the Bohunk and is
^ying to include on the Bohunk
-alendar all the special activi
ties on campus. She urges that
all students keep a close check
'n the bulletin board now that it
is in operation, since it includes
. all of the more important month-
' ly events that are to take place.
Mrs. Speight points out that
' much of the credit of keeping the
I Bohunk operating efficiently goes
to the Bohunk Governing Board
! This governing board is made up
I of two faculty members, two day
jstudi-nts, and two campus stu
dents. The members of the board
are Claude Fulghum, chairman
•and day student representative;
; [..ibby Griffin, day student rep-
i resentative; Ollie Cuddington,
'campus student representative;
D^ty Rhodes, campus student
rijPresentative; Mr. John
\^ems, treasurer and faculty
member; and Miss Ann Bullock,
faculty member. In the evenings
; this governing board, with assist-
j ance from volunteer faculty
; members, serve at the Bohunk.
I The Director stresses that shr,
Dean Morrow, and the governing
. board are trying to keep the stu
dent center open for all campus
I and day students and faculty
members. Mrs. Speight states
that “One of the main purposes
;o( the Bohunk is to be a type of
home for the students during
their leisure hours. We hope the
; students will treat it as such.“
i She said that since the center is
for all of the students, any or
ganization wishing to use it for
private purposes would be re
stricted to using one section. It
.seems, after checking with her.
that the two sections are known
simply as the “juke-box area”
and the *'T.V. area.”
I was glad to learn that Mrs
Speight shares my enthusiasm
for the “Apple Polishing Hour”
that was held February 5. I feel
that she certainly did a wonder
ful Job in planning this aft<*rnoon
of fun and fellowship. It was in*
teresting to learn that she hop*• <
this hour of student and faculty
participation will become a
standard activity, and she re
vealed to me that plans are in
the making for )ust such an hour
once a month during the remain
der of the year. Mrs. Sj>eight
feels that this apple polishing
event “will help to establish b«*t-
ter social relationships between
faculty and students.”
Some of the activities Mrs.
Speight has helped to Initiate
through the Bohunk this year are
the showing of movies in Ifow-
ard Chapel; sp<msoring, along
with the Pan-Hellenic Council, in
formal dances after week-end
ballgames; and the relatively
new idea of having each sorority
and fraternity sponsor one social
activity in the Bohunk during the
'spring semester
Other activities ft>r the spring
semester Mrs. Speight gave me
include plans to make available
a shuffle board on the terrace of
Harper Hall, horse,sh'« - s<»mc^
