' “You are fast becoming what you are going to be.
: With our particular modes of living more is needed beside
' real estate, bank accounts and insurance. We need a sane
spiritual foundation upon which to ti'ead in an environ
ment of bright temptations and dark righteousness. We
need to strengthen ourselves in faith to strengthen our
selves in character, in personality and thus in popularity
1 with God and man. We need to learn facts, theories, lang-
; uage, music, art, drama, ourselves and Christ. Life neces-
I sitates the love of Jesus, and no life is complete^ without
■ the possession and application of knowledge of God. This
I is a new school year, full of opportunity and challenge for
! every student. Another year to mold a foundation for what
we shall soon become has arrived, soon to pass away. Stop,
look and listen; go, sell, give, come, follow. Think of the
necessities of successful living as it becomes factual that
“you are fast becoming what you are going to be.”

Let 8 Get Started Right
Summer is gone. We are back at college. But are we
really prepared for what is ahead?
We hope we will not hear that frayed old statement:
“Well it’s just like it was last year, etc. etc. etc.”
This is definitely not like it was last year. Have you
looked around you? ACC has the largest enrollment in
its history. New faculty members have joined our family
to help us in our search for knowledge. Don’t forget this
is the real reason we are here — knowledge.
But there are other things. Our new buildings provide
an atmosphere that makes us all proud to be. a part of the
growing ACC family.
Our schedule ahead shows that we are starting on the
greatest year in the history of ACC.
Homecoming — that happy weekend in November
that tires us out with enjoyment — is just ahead. The
committee is planning the biggest ever. We need to have
plenty of volunteer workers and not helpers — those kind
that help from the Bohunk — on this project.
Basketball — We have the biggest and best schedule
that anyone at ACC can remember. Let’s get right on the
spirit theme right now. The boys will need all the help
they can get on December 2, when we go to Raleigh to
beat State.
Dramatics — We have a play coming up. Let’s hope
Mrs. Holsworth doesn’t have to look in every nook and
cranny to find actors. Volunteer. And remember, if you
can’t volunteer be sitting in the many seats provided in
Howard Chapel on the night the production is presented.
Student Government — The Executive Board should
not be required to do all our decision making for us. At
tend Exec. Board meetings. When it’s ballot time, vote. It’s
your government, help run it.
Classes — we gave knowledge the top place in this
writing becau.se it is the real reason we are here. You can’t
get knowledge if you don’t go to class. Cuts are for emer
gencies and late sleeping is definitely not an emergency.
Social Events — We don’t have them because the
committees like to do extra work. They are a part of our
overall campus experience. In the game of life, it’s just
like missing a class. Attend the receptions, the dances, the
fraternity and sorority parties. If you don’t, someday you
will wi.sh you had.
Chapel — You won’t know whether we had a good
program or a bad one if you don’t attend. Most of them
are top flight and worth the time you give to them. Make
it a point this year to attend the assemblies and chapel
services. Is your time really so important that you can’t
spend some of it getting a little more culture? And remem
ber, please cut down on the noise when you go in.
We believe all these things are neceSvSary to build a
driving spirit in our student body. And that’s what we all
want — a driving spirit.
See if you can join with us in creating this spirit. Let’s
get started right.

Back to dear ole ACC
Or newly arrived
By all. we strive
To make fashion the news!
Something that came up over
the snmmer vacation, was person
alizing towels with your own foot
print — new bath fad.
When you’re overcome complete
ly by wild waves of giggles, you’ve
been “unglued.”
For the hot days that are still
left, brush your hair off your face
— off your neck too, if you can!!
Dust moist palms with scented
talc when reading, writing, and
playing cards.
There’s much to do about hats
— it continued through the sum
mer, and fall predicts more hats.
A parade of school pennants,
stiU a growing fad for fall, also
big shirts with our emblem on
them. Don’t forget ACC’s Blue and
White, BuUdogs!!
Good report cards from high
school are new bulletin board dec
orations. Coeds say, “just the sight
of those rare old straight “A”
grades, buck me up.”
Garter favors from college
proms are in new demand as other
momento’s.
Monogrammed notebooks are a
South Dakota discovery.
What planet are you from?,
means everone knows but you.
The new color in lingerie:
Red in everything.
Irresistible Apricot,
Beige and the most flattering
Blues.
Nice hair:
11. Daily brushing, stimulated
circulation in the scalp, helps keep
hair healthy.
2. In any weather, hair spray
disciplines locks. On humid days,
it’s a girls best friend.
3. Bleaching always takes some
thing out of the hair . . . the
original color.
4. Three reasons for wearing per
fume: because you like it, others
like it, and it accents your femi
ninity.
5. Dramatize your \^aistline wth
a contrasting cumberbun to make
the bosom seem fuller and the
soulders wider, by contrast.
6. Sportswear is easy to take
care of in DuPont fibers.
7. Little habits in good groom
ing makes the difference.
8. For a bright open-eye look,
curl your eye lashes. The upward
sweep lets more light into the
eyes.

College Librarian
With the beginning of a new
schodl year it seems pertiaent to
devote this space to a description
of just what this column is all
about and what it hopes to ac
complish.
Last year we started off by list
ing the oustanding new books
which were acquired by the col
lege /library (with a little horse
play thrown in on the side.) The
question immediately arose as to
what was meant by a “new book.”
Our thinking went something like
this: a new book is any book to
which our readers have not pre
viously had access. We feel that
this is a good definition and hope
to continue with it.
Space does not permit a review
of the books which we think that a
brief comment now and then may
stimulate your native curiosity.
We hope too that the listing of
new reference books occasionally
may keep the faculty informed as
to what is available in their various
subject fields.
Of course, we Hardians like to ^
have a bit of fun too and we like
to share it. If some days we seem
a little wacky, we hope that you
will join in. Books do have strange
effects on people. Come in and see
us and find out for yourselves.
Student Takes
Marine Course
Campaign is Underway
'The popular gifts division of the
$500,000 Atlantic Christian College
campaign for capital funds will
have its kick-off at a dinner on
the campus on Monday night, Oc
tober 14.
The dinner probably will be held
in the lobby of the Classroom build
ing and will be attended by about
350 leaders in Wilson who have
volunteered to work in the cam
paign.
Heading the popular gifts divi
sion of the drive is Thomas J.
Hackney, Jr., p r e s i d e n t of the
Hackney Body Company of Wilson.
’This is one of two divisions in
the campaign. 'The other division
— special gifts — is headed by
Willis N. Hackney of Wilson, head
of the Hackney Tire Company. The
special gifts division is already at
work.
Serving under Mr. Willis N.
Hackney as co-chairmen of the
special gifts division in Wilson, are
David W. Woodard and John N.
Hackney, Sr.
The campaign is being conduct
ed to put Atlantic Christian Col
lege in a piosition for future
growth.
New Advising Plan
We feel that most students were pleased with the
new advising plan that went into effect October 1. A lot
of complaints have been heard in the past about students
who could never find their advisors and also from advis
ors who could not find their students.
A plan of such magnitude deserves some attention
from The Collegiate so we hiked over to the Dean’s Ofhc^
to di.scuss the plan further.
The system is being started to give students a better
opportunity to receive guidance concerning their work
during the present semester and also advice for making
plans for courses during the spring semester.
However, the new system will not abolish individual
visits to see the advisor. It was felt that more sessions are
needed rather than less.
The ediotrs hope that the new program will give stu
dents more of an indication of what lies ahead. It is too
late to be interested after the F on a course has gone in
to the grade book.
My Pet Gripe
By JIM BISHOP
Think back over the earlier part
of today; or you may even have to
turn your thoughts to yesterday.
However, I am sure it has not
been more than twenty-four hours
since you have uttered, “Doesn’t
that get you!” or, as I would say
it, “Boy, that gripes me!”
Even though everyone is trying
to make A.C.C the very best, we
aU know that there are improve
ment to be made. Hence, we
thought you, the readers, could
help make some of these improve
ments. If something on campus is
bothering you, why not write and
tell us about it and we will in
turn print it in this column. If
you feel you have a solution to
this problem, give us that, too.
However, the latter is not essen
tial since what we reaUy want
for publication are your gripes or
pet peeves. Our endeavor will be
to solve them.
Here it is, gant, this is youn
column — your real chance to
“sound-off” and tell us what’s on
your mind. These gripes need not
be signed; just address them to;
Jim Bishop, Box 334, A.C.C.
We’ll be looking to hear from
you; don’t pull your punches. What
is YOUR pet gripe?
Thad Prevatte, a senior at At
lantic Christian College, will enter
the Marine Corps, upon his grad
uation at ACC, as a second Lieu
tenant. During his Junior year at
ACC, Thad joined the Platoon
Leaders Class, which is designed
by the Marine Corps for college
students desiring to become an of
ficer. After several examinations,
physical and aptitude, he was ac
cepted and sworn in by the Ma
rine Corps in order that he might
train and receive his commission
at the time of graduation *from
college.
During the past summer, Thad
was sent to Quantico, Virginia,
to the Marine Corps Schools 'Train
ing and Test Regiment for 12 weeks
of training. This he completed suc
cessfully and he awaits now grad
uation day this coming May to
receive the commission and the
college degree.
Thad selected, after having pas
sed rigid mental and physical ex
aminations, the aviation branch of
the corps. He will be sent back
to Quantico, Virginia, upon grad
uation, to take various flight phy
sicals for approximately two weeks
before being given first duty at
Pensacola, Florida, for eighteen
months of flight training. He then
serves in active duty for two years
in the Marine Corps thereafter.
Rush Week
We would like to commend the Pan-Hellenic Council
for its plan for Rush Week and the procedure for issuing
bids to prospective members of fraternities and sororities.
For the finst time, we believe we have a program that
will work for the benefit of all Greek letter organizations
on the campus.
We hope our front page story carries sufficient in
formation so that all students will know what is taking
place during Ru.sh Week.
On the percentage schedule for issuing bids, we are
pleased that the Council saw fit to attempt to help alf
fraternities and sororities realize an equal potential for
membership.
Our fraternity and sorority program can only be as
strong as its weakest link. By building up some organiza
tions and letting others slide we feel that the entire pro
gram could be hurt.
I Let’s hope that all groups will be able to reach their
hoped for potential in this project.
To students we can only say this: that the future of
any Greek letter organization depends as much on its new
members as old ones. We hope that each student who re
ceives a bid will pledge himself, not only to become a
member of an organization, but also pledge himself to do
as much for that organization as he can. For some of us
this will mean leadership responsibilities. If we can carry
out our leadership and membership responsibilities to the
best of our ability we will have a growing Greek letter
program on our campus.
i And that is what we want. If we are to have frater-
i nities and sororities we want them all to be strong and
! Anything below this maximum effort is not
