Frat Studies Nationals
Phi Delta Gamjna Fraternity has
started official planning for nation
alization with a national social
fraternity. ’
The fraternity that Phi Delta
Gamma will join, as yet, has not
been selected but concrete talks
with several are now being held,
it was disclosed today by John An
thony, President of the local frat.
Anthony said it will probably be
next PaU before the fraternity ac
tually joins a national since it will
take months to complete all the
required work.
Norman Ritchie, Assistant Exe
cutive Director of Alpha Tau Ome
ga, National Social Fraternity, vis
ited with members of Phi Delta
Gamma this week and spoke at
the frat’s meeting on Monday
night.
Alpha Tau Omega is discussing
‘ the requirements for chapter mem
bership in its organization and Mr.
Ritchie outlined the various re
quirements at the meeting.
Anthony declined today to men
tion the other fraternities that Phi
Delta Gamma is discussing the
matter of nationalization with, but
said that they will be announced
as their representatives visit the
local frat.
In an attempt to prepare for na
tionalization, Anthony said his fra
ternity is using the school year,
1958-59 to prepare the organization
for the many changes that are
needed for nationalization. “We do
not want to rush into anything,”
he said. “Members of Phi Delta
Gamma want to take the time that
is necessary to make the right de
cision for this fraternity.”
Anthony also disclosed that forms
are now being prepared to return
to A.T.O. as a preliminary action
to seek membership. “This ac
tion, however, is not binding on us
or the national,” he pointed out.
James V. Cobb, member of the
ACC music faculty, is a national
officer of Alpha Tau Omega. He
accompanied Mr. Ritchie to the
meeting Monday night.
Chapel, Class Attendance
Is Student Responsibility
“One mark of an educated man
is his willingness to assume re
sponsibility.” These were the
words of Dr. Millard P. Burt, ACC
Dean, this week as he discussed
assembly and chapel attendance.
Dr. Burt said programs in How
ard Chapel are for students and
students, not the college, should de
termine the attendance at such pro
grams. “Attending assembly and
chapel programs is a student re
sponsibility and should not be regu
lated by tight rules,” Dr. Burt
said.
He said the present program of
assembly and chapel attendance
was worked out with the best in
terest of the student in mind under
the existing circumstances.
The program is much more len
ient than last year’s, except for
members of the senior class, it was
explained.
“It is our feeling that these pro
grams should be for the benefit
of all students and if seniors are
to be allowed to stay away from
the programs they are missing
part of the educational experi- ■
ence,” Dr. Burt said. This is why
senior attendance was incorporat
ed into the present program.
Dr. Burt, in discussing the pres
ent program, said that it allows
much more latitude than in previ
ous years. “It is true,” Dr.
Burt said, “that we no longer
have cuts for chapel and assem
bly. However, we are requiring
much less attendance this year
than in the past.”
The ACC Dean went further to
say that he hopes programs in
assembly and chEipel will continue
to improve to the point at which
students will desire to attend them
at all times.
He also pointed to the important
position the classes have assumed
in the new program. “Very little
emphasis has been placed on class
es in the past even though this
will prove to be the association
that wiU mean most to students
after leaving college,” ' Dr. Burt
said. He said under the new plan of
having class meetings eaih month.
Co-Op Association Budget
Will Be Submitted Oct. 28
The Executive Board of the At
lantic Christian College Co-opera-
tive Association passed a proposed
budget which will be presented to
the students for approval in the
general meeting of the Co-opera
tive Association Tuesday, October
28.
At Monday’s Executive Board
meeting, the budget drawn up by
the budget committee, headed by
Treasurer Bobby Riley, presented
its proposed budget.
TTie budgets to be allocated to
the various organizations, depend
ent on the student activity fee, are
as follows: to the Pine Knot —
$5,465.47; to the CoUegiate — $2,-
310.00; to the Concert Committee—
$1,825.00; to the Dramatics Club—
$1,145.00; to the social committee—
$1,200.56; to the CCA — $970.00.
At the completion of the last
school year there was a surplus of
funds in the accounts of many or
ganizations. This year’s student ac
tivity fee would not meet the re
quested budgets of these organiza
tions. It was decided that the defi
cits would be made up from last
year’s surplus and the remaining
surplus will be put into the Co
operative Association Emergency
Fund. The Emergency Fund may
be drawn upon, subject to the ap
proval of the Executive Board, if
an organization should run over its
budget in expenditures. This year’s
funds for the Executive Committee
and the Bohunk wiU come from the
Emergency Fund.
The Stage and Script Club re
quested $450.00 to rewire the stage
and the switchboard in the chapel.
It was suggested that it submit
another request to the Executive
Board which will be forwarded to
the Administrative Council.
In further action it was announc
ed that Junior Ralph Messick will
be unable to serve on the Concert
And Assembly Committee. Miss
Emily Waters was selected to fill
the vacancy.

All-Student Plan
Favored By Some
By BOB COLLINS
The Collegiate, following up a
rumor that the campus family had
renewed its walkside discussion of
the merits of pure student govern
ment balanced against the system
now in operation on the ACC cam
pus, this week conducted a survey
to test the reaction of a cross sec
tion of the student body and facul
ty.
The reaction was mixed. Some
of those contacted expressed great
interest in seeing a pure form of
student government on this camp
us. Others reacted in a cool man
ner, and others were openly op
posed to changing the form of gov
ernment. The unusual fact about
the survey was that of the people
contacted, more of the faculty
members expressed favor than did
students.
Dr. Daniel M. McFarland, chair
man of the Social Science Depart
ment, was approached regarding
this matter. Dr. McF''arland said,
“I am in favor of a student gov
ernment system, in which students-
elect their own officers, handle
their own discipline, and manage
student activity funds. I think this
is a wonderful opportunity for
training in citizenship, and would
build student morale and school
loyalty.”
Echoing this feeling, Dr. Mildred
E. Hartsock, Chairman of the De
partment of English, said, “I would
like to see, on this campus, an ex
periment in pure student govern-
nient. I have been proud of our
distinctive type of co-operative gov
ernment in which students and fac
ulty had for many years a produc
tive and harmonious relationship.
For several years, however, I have
sensed a marked loss of interest
in our government. I might, for in-

Last Day For Annual Pics
Officials of The Pine Knot, the
Atlantic Christian College Year
book, were expressing concern to
day that so few students have had
their portraits made this week for
the 1959 edition of the annual.
Miss Patt Murray, Pine Knot edi
tor, said the photographer had in
dicated to her thdt many students
missed appointments this week
when they were scheduled to have
their photographs made
Raines And Cox. Wilson Photo
graphers, are making the portraits
and have been set up in Harper
Hall all week.
“Obviously many students have
failed to see the schedule on the
bulletin boards,” Miss Murray said
today.
The Pine Knot editor said, in an
effort to get as many portraits as
possible for the class sections of
the annual, that the photographers
will take all students today who
have not already been for an ap
pointment.
All students who have not had
their portraits made are urged to
report to the parlor of Harper Hall
as quickly as possible. Today is the
final day of shooting for the class
portraits, it was pointed out.
“We of the staff are hoping to
make this year’s book truly repre
sentative,” Miss Murray said. “If
students fail to have their pictures
made they will probably regret it
for years to come. It will take fine
cooperation today to get the job
done. I hope students will take
advantage of this opportunity and
will report immediately.”
