portunity to become acquainted.
Interfraternity Council President,

party: “The IFC of 1958-1959 is an
ticipating great results from this
informal affair. This is something
new on our campus and we feel
that it is going to serve a definite
purpose. It will acquaint the fra

with the fraternities and sorori
ties.”

Pet Gripe
Student Urges Quick Petitions
Dear Jim;
I would like to say that I realize
the professors at ACC are busy
people, however, I would like to
know why our petitions are not
acted on quickly. I understand that
there is a lot of "red tape” involv
ed, but if anything is important
enough to warrant a petition, it is
important enough to warrant a
quick answer. Actually, I believe
that some of the petitions demand
quick acticm.
Thank You,
A Petitioner
The Central committee of the col
lege is tiie Kroup that acts on all
petitions. When questioned about
the matter of delay the committee
said that at the present time it
does not have any pending: peti
tions.
the committee also expressed a
desire that all students understand
more clearly the procedure for
submitting a petition. When a stu
dent wishes to present a petition
he should see his advisor and talk
the matter over completely.
If the .student still wishes to pe
tition after discussing; the matter
wiih his advisor, he may do so by
presenting the petition to his ad
visor. The aidvisor will then for
ward the petition, with his com
ments, to the Central committee.
Only through this procedure will
petitions be accepted by the Cen
tral committee.
Dear Jim:
Can something be done about the
drains on the terrace directly out
side the Classroom Building? Some
of them are without covers and be
fore long some student or possibly
a faculty member (heaven forbid)
might step into one of these open
holes and be injured.
Oops
I spoke with Milton L. Adams,
Business Manager of the college,
and he said that the matter would
be taken care of immaiiately. Be
cause of the urgency of the matter
there is a possibility that it will
be cleared up before the printing
of this paper.
IF YOU HAVE A GRIPE, SEND
IT TO:
JIM BISHOP,
Box 334.

CCA Attempting
Co-Op Program
By RALPH MESSICK
The Campus Christian Associa
tion is working diligently in order
to plan a program which will stim
ulate student and faculty participa
tion on the campus of Atlantic
Christian College.
This year tiie association is at
tempting to work with the other
organizations presently existing on
the campus. It is believed that in
this manner more students will be
reached and the CCA will better
serve its purpose in the college
life.
Although this program may seem
new to the majority of the readers
it maybe recalled that last year
the "old” Student Christian Asso
ciation began this cooperation with
other campus organizations by
bringing resource personnel in the
field of business to relate the area
of business to the practice of
Christianity. It is hoped that this
year’s CCA may carry out this
plan more effectively.

Looking Glass
Every Girl Seeks Band-Box Look
By GWEN STANLEY
Organization of clothing gives
ever>' individual that smooth, band
box look that every young woman
should endeavor to create. The
band - box look comcs indirectly
from having all grooming items in
particular places and using them
at regularly scheduled times. Bet
ter grooming anywhere and espe
cially in college living is built on
the pillar of organization. What is
the selection of skirt and comple
mentary sweater or trousers and
appropriate shirt but ORGANIZA
TION? Polishing shoes, putting
Sunday’s hat into a box, folding
sweaters for plastic bags are all
part of organization. A day set a-
side for shampooing the hair and
grooming the nails can help you
to be an attractive, poised indivi
dual.
Time is saved by organization.
Efficiency is increased by sched
uling activities. Grooming is im
portant, but studying in prepara
tion for classes is necessary. Spe
cific study space and time can re
duce the number of hours wasted
and make possible greater effect
iveness in classes. Do you have a
specific study place? All the need
ed materials together? Sharpened
pencils, pen and ink, dictionary,
paper, paper clips?
L^arn to budget your time — jot
down daily reminders — and read
them: return library book; write
short theme; study history; review
today’s class notes; write a short
note home. Can you do aU these
with your present schedule? ’Hiose
wrinkles on your brow because of
studies wiU disappear when the
tinve is planned. And you’ll have
more time for fun, too!
Fashion Views:
The hair style Louise is now
wearing — very becoming! Bou
quets to the young women and
men attending the Top Hat dance—
you were lovely; you were hand
some! Many of the girls are wear
ing attractive monograms on their
clothes. NEXT WEEK: When And
Where To Use Gloves.
Stage And Script
Entertained At Play
At the Stage and Script Club’s
meeting on Tuesday, October 7, a
one-act play was presented by
members of the club. It was di
rected by Miss WUma Hairr.
Members of the group said the
play was well done with Mary Lou
Bryan, John Harrell and Carl
Metts in the cast.
By WALTER GRAY
College Librarian
No, we’ve not yet turned into
philosophers — Just working up to
it. ’This week we’ve chosen to be
rate and inform — perhaps next
week we’ll get back to the books.
The library copy of LIFE maga
zine for October 6 was recently
found to be short of its innards.
We discovered that pages 82-95
which deal with Housing Design
were mysteriously missing. The job
was neatly done and a 'credit to any
old razor blade. We appreciate true
artistry, but we hate to see such
talent go to waste. Should any fac
ulty member receive a treatise on
the subject we hope that he or
she will report to us in order that
due recognition for the achieve
ment might be given. Green
stamps, anybody?
There are many signs that the
joyful days of research for term
papers are fast approaching. We
count this a happy season in which
we learn to know and work close
ly with the new students. Perhaps
we can offer a few helpful hints
and some needed explanations. A
college library is not a Public Li
brary. Rather, it is an integral
part of the teaching program. Our
library staff is not here to do your
work for you. You are expected to
learn how to use tne catalog, in
dexes and bibliographies in the
same manner as you are expected
to learn your algebra or your his
torical data. We are here to help
you find these tools and use them
wisely — to help you get out of the
blind alleys that the searcher oc
casionally winds up in. Only inci
dentally are we here to collect
your fines for overdue books.
Experience shows us that miany
students waste much time through
the sin of omission. Do list those
authors and titles properly the first
time and don’t slump on taking
down full information from the cat
alog card. Do use the call slips
provided for books and magazines
and save them until you’re sure
you’ve recorded all the informa
tion you will need. . . We like to
see you back, but not with that
discouraged look that says, “Yes,
I’m doing it all over again.”
Happy hunting!
Civil Service Exam Announced
This fall, the United States Civil
Service announced a new Federal
Service Entrance Examination.
This is the examination through
which the Federal government pro
vides for its annual intake of col
lege graduates into most occupa
tional fields in the competitive civil
service other than the engineering
and scientific professions.
The new examination for the
present academic year will be
available through John E. Weems
in the Placement Office. The an
nouncement gives such details on
the revised examination as how to
apply the written test dates, qual
ifications required, and the career
fields open to students.
The last Congress increased the
Federal pay scale making it pos
sible to pay higher starting sal
aries now than in the past. The
starting salary for a student with
a bachelor’s degree and no experi
ence will range from $4,040 to $4,-
980 per annum. Under this year’s
recruiting plan, studenis who
have a B average or who are in
the upper 25 per cent of their
class and who make higher scores
in the written examination, will be
qualified for consideration by em
ploying agencies at the higher sal
ary. All persons who attain final
eligibility in the Management In
tern portion of the examination
will be qualified for consideration
at $4,980 per annum. Management
Intern eligibles who, in addition to
a bachelor’s degree have one year
of graduate study or qualifying ex
perience, will be qualified for con
sideration at $5,985 per ann'um.
It is vital to our government
that a representative num«ber of
the nation’s most talented young
people each year choose a career
with the Federal civil service. Stu
dents who want more information
about the employment opportuni
ties offered through the Federal
Service Entrance Examination,
should see Mr. Weems in the
Placement Office or write to the
Regional Director, Fifth U. S. Civil
Service Region, 275 Peachtree
Street, N. E., Atlanta, Georgia.
Peele Will Design Stage Sets
The Stage and Script Club,
drawing ever closer to curtain
time for its production, is now con
centrating on sets and costumes.
In their presentation of The Tam
ing of the Shrew, club members
have decided to use original sets
designed by Sanford Peele. These
sets are in a revolutionary, new,
modernistic pattern with brilliant
colors and abstract designs.
Costuming for the production
wUl be Elizabethian in style and
striking in the use of color. The
club members feel that this dis
play of color in both sets and cos
tumes will best express the farcical
nature of the play.
Rehearsals are in session with
the following planned for the fu
ture: Tues. Oct 21, 7 p.m. Act III
(no books); 8 p.m. Act II; 9 p.m.
Act IV; Wed. Oct. 22, 7 p.m. Act
IV (memorized); 8 p.m. Act III
(no books); Tues. Oct. 28, 7 p.m.
Act IV (memorized); 8:30 p.m.
Act V (blocking); Wed. Oct. 29,
7 p.m. Act IV (no books); 8 p.m.,
Acts I and II (no books).
Ring Representative To Visit
Lee Blackwell, Goldsboro, sx>ecial
representative for the L. G. Bal
four Company, will be on the At
lantic Christian College cannpus
Friday, October 17, to take orders
for class rings.
Members of the Junior and Sen
ior classes at the college are eligi
ble to purchase the rings, it was
explained today by John E. Weems,
Director of Student Activities at
the coUege. However, another re
quirement is that a student must
have completed 78 semester hours
of work in order to place an order
for a ring.
Mr. BlackweU will be in the Bo-
hunk to discuss rings with the
plans to co-sponsor a noted scien
tist from one of the universities
in the state to speak on the use of
religion in the field of science. It
is believed that this type of pro
gram will generate in the science
club a good deal of interest in the
subject of religion.
John R. Scudder, faculty advisor
for the CCA, expresses to the stu
dent body the opportunity to offer
suggestions for future programs
for the Campus Christian Associa
tion. “’The purpose of the CCA is
to serve you, the student, and help
you to grow in Christian spirit,”
I Mr. Scudder asserts. “We welcome
I suggestions which will help us to
fulfill this purpose.”
Juniors and Seniors and to take
their ring orders, it was explained.
Miss Winstead
Wins Cake Award
Atlantic Christian College has
gained a great deal of prestige
due to the achievements of Miss
Janet Winstead, a member of the
science department faculty of the
college. Miss Winstead displayed
the versatility of the faculty by
winning a prize at the Wilson Coun
ty Fair for a cake that she baked
and entered in the cake - baking
contest. Efforts by the Collegiate
to discover the recipe have failed.
