Land Purchased
For Physical Ed
Atlantic Christian College is in
the process of purchasing a plot of
land called the Corbett Tract which
lies behind the row of houses fac
ing Corbett Avenue and along Gold
Park Road.
The tract measures approxi
mately 388 feet by 361 feet. When
the details are worked out and
the college has possession of the
tract, it will be used to expand
physical education facilities.
Obtaining this piece of land will
allow the college to begin a pro-
g r a m of development of areas
needed in both the teaching of phy
sical education courses and in in
tramural sports, such as softball,
tennis and others.
The problems which the college
hopes to solve in this manner have
been brought on by increased en
rollment and by the growing num
ber of students desiring to major in
physical education.

Dead Week Issue Up For Study
By JIM BISHOP
Approximately a month ago the
following bulletin was issued by
the Dean’s office:
"Due to the continued increase
of flu among students and faculty
it has become necessary to take
further emergency steps in an at
tempt to reduce the possibilities of
spreading the disease. Effective
until Monday, November 11, all
non - academic activities will be
suspended. This includes Chapels
and Assemblies; Intramural Sports
Program; Fraternity, Sorority and
Club Meetings; all Social Events;
Executive Board and Pan-Hellenic
Councils.”
This proclamation was greeted
with mixed emotions by the ma
jority of students. Some of these
students were joyful at this an
nouncement, for they thought this
would be a good week to take it
easy without any pressing engage
ments ; on the other hand there
were others who felt that it would
be impossible to carry on school
without these important and es
sential social functions.
It was after this week that the
student leaders of the campus be
gan realizing that it would be a
blessing to have a “dead week”

at which time 31 pledges will be
inducted into the sorority at a
formal ritual.

ganization are: Joyce Johnson,

abeth Winborne, Barbara Keen,
