RELIGIOUS EMPHASIS ^aTEEK PRCGRAI'I IS POSTPONED UNTIL SPRING
Atlantic Christian College's annual Religious Emphasis Week, which was
scheduled to begin Monday morning, was postponed late yesterday afternoon.
The postponment came as a result of a misunderstanding between officials
of the Student Christian Association and the main substitute speaker. Rev«
Douglas Bell, Minister of the Gordon Street Christian Church of Kinston, N.C.,
was contacted following announcement that the principal speaker. Barton Hunter,
executive secretary of the Department of Social Work and Welfare of the United
Christian Missionary Society, w^s in the hospital with a case of pneumonia and
would not be able to come to the college. Mr. Bell agreed to fill the spot
but in talking with him, Mr, Bell was inadvertently given the wrong date. He
assumed the Religious Emphasis Week was set for the final week in October rat
her than next week.
When SCA officials attempted to reach Mr. Bell yesterday they found that
he x^as on a trip to cover the entire week next week and could not be reached.
Therefore, the program had to be postponed..
Plans now call for the program to be held in February, officials announced.
Officials learned of the problem yesterday too late to make the change in
the regular edition of THE COLLEGIATE that's why it carries a front page
story about REW.
Dr. R, B. Cutlip, Dean of the College, announced this morning that the
regular student assembly xd.ll be held in Howard Chapel Tuesday morning and
that a religious chapel service will be held on Thursday morning.
