Collegiate To Go Weekly Next Fall
The Collegiate, Atlantic Christian
College’s campus newspaper, will
probably becorne a weekly publica
tion during the next academic year,
it was announced today.
Officials of the Publications Com
mittee of the college said today
that the committee has been
working with the Executive Board
of the ACC Cooperative' Associa
tion for the last two meetings work
ing out preliminary plans for such
a move. ,
Until this year The Collegiate had
generally operated on a monthly
basis. This year The Collegiate
changed its schedule so that it was
printed twice monthly.
The Publications Committee, in
a letter to the Executive Board on
May 5, said 1. If there is a short
coming in cooperative government
on the campus of Atlantic Christian
College, this shortcoming is in in
adequate communications of the is
sues at hand between the govern
ment and its constituency —stu
dents and faculty.
2. The growth of the student body
has helped to increase this lack
of communications. No longer can
the word spread by voice.
3. The campus newspaper, The
Collegiate, must serve as the voice
for better communications on the
campus.
4. The Collegiate, on a twice
monthly schedule, cannot answer
this need for improved communi
cations.
5. To meet this need and to pro
vide students in a body of our size
with the best comm'unications a-
vailable, the Publications Commit
tee would like to see The CoUegiate
become a weekly newspaper next
Fall.
The present Executive Board ex
pressed approval of the weekly
plan and voted permission for the
Publications Committee to begin
the necessary preliminary plan
ning.
Next Fall a concrete plan and

sented by students of Atlantic

8 p.m.

in the college gymnasium to take
care of the large crowd that an

Freshman Dance
Slated Friday
Tomorrow night, from 8 until 11
p.m., the freshman class is stag
ing its Sadie Hawkins Dance- in
the cafeteria, and all students and
friends of Atlantic Christian Col
lege are invited to attend.
This occasion offers an oppor
tunity to the girls, for they have
the freedom to turn the tables and
invite dates for the evening. Since
this is one of the few times when
the boys can sit back and wait for
a date, girls are urged to get busy
and line up their favorite fellas
for a dance guaranteed to be “su
per-plus.”

Junior Class
To Fete Seniors
The Junior Class of Atlantic
Christian College will be hosts at
a luncheon to be held Saturday at
11 o’clock at the Cherry.Hotel. The
luncheon will honor the graduating
Seniors.
This will be the first time such
a luncheon has been attempted at
the college. In the past this annual
affair has been in the form of a
Junior - Senior Dance. The main
complaint of the past Junior-Senior
Dances has been the light atten
dance. The luncheon replaces the
annual dance in hopes of more
participation.
The prospects this year for a
larger attendance at this annual af
fair are again dim, for the list of
reservations shows that less than
sixty students have responded to
the invitations sent by the Junior
class.
The deadline for answering these
invitations was last Tuesday.
