Students Fail Their Leaders
Officials; of the Atlantic Christian
College Cooperative Association
were placcd in an ennbarrassing
position Tuesday in Howard Chapel
ao they sat before a minimum au
dience.
Purpose of the assembly was to
dLscu.HS and approve the Coopera
tive Association’s budget for this
yenr L«-.n.s than a quorum was on
hand In fact there were only 128
persons in attendance and a large
porc€;ntage of the group was faculty
members.
W>- know it must have been try
ing for the Executive Board. It is
most difficult to attempt to carry
on a program when the very peo
ple the program is designed to
serve are .so uninterested that they
do not even care to show up for a
discussion of the program.
No student on this campus can
place any blame on the Executive
Board for a lack of action in im
proving the campus program. Lack
of interest by students will certain
ly kill any enthusiasm the leaders
of this government may have.
The Executive Board needs en
couragement and suggestions from
its constituency. It is failing to re
ceive them from the students.
We must commend the E^xecu-
tive Board for its meeting Mon
day afternoon. It studied more
problems and took more action in
that meeting than at any other
previous meeting thLs year.
And then it was hit with non-
attendance at assembly right after
its leaders had given it a shot in
the arm.
Do we want government? W we
do we must support it. Yes, we can
find fault if the fault finding is an
earnest attempt to improve the
process. But we also must provide
support when it is needed.
The staff of The Collegiate sym
pathizes with the members of the
Executive Board. They were not
supported in Assembly Tuesday.
They were there to give the stu
dent body and faculty a,clear cut
report on an expenditure totaling
more than $12,000. Those who pro
vided the funds were not interested
enough in the manner they were
to be spent to show up for the
meeting.
All the work by the Executive
Board in preparing for the meet
ing was of ’HO avail. A quorum was
not on hand. Therefore, all the ac
tion taken is nullified.
Wake up students before it is too
late. Assume your share of respon
sibility for government on the cam
pus or that government will surely
die.
Autos Across Driveways
Disturb ACC Neighbors
Residents of homes encircling the
Atlantic Christian College campus
were beginning to complain this
week about students parking cars
across their driveway entrances
One resident said his driveway
had been blocked three times in
the last 10 days.
“We don’t like to call the police
and to get students in trouble.”
one homeowner said, “but this
I problem is getting worse and some-
I thing must be done about it.”
j In each instance reported, a
I check by the office of student ac-
! tivities showed that the cars did
j not bear college parking stickers.
John E. Weems, Director of Stu
dent Activities, said he had advis
ed homeowners to notify the local
police department about the infrac
tions when stickers were not car
ried on the vehicles. Students will
have to pay a fine downtown and
will also have to go to court.
“We have 'urged student drivers
to obtain college stickers for their
cars so that we can deal with in
fractions here at the college,”
Mr. Weems said. “Many have not
picked up the stickers, and, there
fore, we will have to notify the po
lice department about any infrac
tions reported to us on cars which
do not bear stickers,” he said.

Nelson, Peele Share Billing
By JAMES BOSWFIX
Miss Anne Nelson of Roberson-
ville, and Sanford Peele of Wilson,
two Atlantic Christian College jun
iors, will have prominent leads in
Shakespeare’s comedy, Tlie Tam-
inif of The Shrew, which will be
presented by Stage and Script dra
matics club in Howard Chapel No
vember 13 and 14.
Mi.ss Nelson during her high
school days, was featured in many
school plays and became noted for
her singing before church and
school groups. She achieved recog
nition for work in debating and
speech-making.
As an Atlantic Christian fresh
man, she played the part of the
Mother of Joan of Arc in Anouilh’s
The Lark. She did much back
stage work in three one-act plays
which the club presented that year.
As a sophomore, Miss NeLson
continued to do extensive b a c k-
stage work in the fields of proper
ties and special effects. Her talent
was an asset to the production
“The Lady’s Not For Burning.”
Later in the year, she played the
Holy Mother in "A Child Is Born”—
a Christmas production. Her first
lead part came when she was as
signed the role of “Jenny” in Down
In Tlje Valley. She played Mrs. B.;
F. Pinkerton in i\Iadame Butterfly,
one of a series of three one-act
plays.
In high school, Sanford Peele was
early introduced to patrons of the
theatre through his portrayals of
lead parts in Doctor Jekyll and
Mr Hyde and Smarty Pants.
Sanford’s first college perform
ance was in Shaw’s I’yfrmalion
In which he played “Freddy.” Fol
lowing this was a [wrtrayal of Em
manuel. the doctor, in Carl Green’s
Quare Medicine. Sanford began to
show his prowess with stage set
tings when he painted scenery for
these productions. Ho was as
signed the duty of designing the
lights for The Lark in which he
also played the part of Charles VII.
His second year of college saw
Sanford portraying Richard, the
Clerk, in “The Lady's Not For
Buring by Anouilh. He also de-
I signed sets for this presentation.
I Sanford directed the Yuletide play
A Child Is Bom. He designed the
! sets for the Spring musical Down
I in the Valley. In the one -act play,
, Madame Butterfly, Sanford was the
I consul. He directed the production
j Five Days,.
I Sanford and a former student,
i Miss Ellen Dennis performed in
I Tennessee Williams’ This Property
Ls Condemned at the Goldsboro Dis
trict Festival and Sanford won a
highest award at the Chapel Hill
State Festival.
Both of these performers consid
er their forth-corning roles in the
Taming: of the Shrew to be among
their best opportunities for theatri
cal expression. Miss Nelson por
trays Kate, a “shrew” of a woman
whose rocky heart discourages all
would-be suitors until the devil-
may - care Petruchio (Sanford
Peele) comes along and “fights
fire with fire.” The entangled situa
tion which ensues results in a com
ical outcome which well explains
the popularity of this farce by
Shakespeare

dent Activities at Atlantic Christian

Drapes Planned For Classrooms
Plans are being made to place
drapes in several classrooms in At
lantic Christian College’s new
Classroom Building to permit more
effective use of the rooms.
It was announced this week that
drapes will be placed on windows
in several of the rooms so that
they can be used for audio - visual
purposes.
At the present time, only one
room in the building is equipped
with drapes. This situation makes
it difficult for faculty members to
make plans for instruction cen
tered on the use of audio - vistial
equipment requiring a darkened
room.
With drapes on several class
room windows, AV materials may
be used more frequently and more
efficiently. Very little shifting of
classes will be necessary
The only room in the building
presently equipped with drapes is
Room 212. It, the elevated lecture
room in the Science and Mathe
matics building, and Howard Chap
el, are the only facilities now equip
ped for showing films.
Faculty members were also re
minded this week that they must
give two days’ notice to the Audio-
Visual Department for equipment
to show films.
Reservations for equipment may
be made by telephoning Miss Mit-
tie Waddell, secretary, in the col
lege Administration Building. Her
telephone extension number is
three.
Several pieces of new equipment
also have been purchased recent
ly to be used by faculty members
in audio-visuals.

Government began with an address
from J. H. Allred, High Point Col
lege Dean of Students. Mr. Allred
urged the representatives to com
bat drinking and cheating on cam
puses. He pointed out the need to
exalt scholarship in the minds of
students. At the same time, he
warned, no student government
should resort to the use of under
handed methods or force (such as
riots) to get things done
When the group re-convened af
ter the noon meal, speeches and
discussion centered around the top
ics “Safety on the College Cam
pus,” . “City - College Relation
ships,” “The Two - Party System,”
“All Conference Cheer - Leaders,”
and the awarding of the outstand
ing Student Government Associa
tion award. The meeting was ended
after the floor was thrown open
for discussion of any and all local
student government problems.
