NUMBER SEVEN
Student Activity Budget
Approved At Big Assembly
An overflow audience of students
and faculty members approved a
record budget for student activi
ties at a special meeting held in
the AtlantLc Christian College
Gymnasium Tuesday morning by
the ACC Cooperative Association.
The budget calls for expendi
tures totaling $12,916.03. The ac
tion by the students and faculty
members rectified a situation that
had been created earlier by a lack
of a quorum at a previously called
meeting to stamp approval on the
budget.
With all the facts ready for pre
sentation, the officers of the Co
operative Association sat on the
stage of Howard Chapel two weeks
ago to request a routine approval
of the budget. It turned out to be
far from routine when it was found
that only 128 students and faculty
members were in attendance and
any action taken became invalid
because of a lack of a quorum.
A total of 466 students and faculty
members were needed to act on
the budget.
There was no question about a
quorum Tuesday. It was a re
quired meeting and the gymnasi
um was filled with members of
the association. Others stood out
side the doors.
In voting approval of the budget,
the association agreed to spend
stipulated amounts of the budget
in various student activities. They
are Tne Pine Knot, $5,465.47. The
Collegiate, $2,310, Concert and As
sembly Committee, $1,825, Stage
and Script, $1,145, Social Commit
tee, $1,200.56, and Campus Chris
tian Association, $970.
The remainder of funds received
by the association from students
activity fees will be placed in an
emergency fund. Surplus funds
from last year’s budget have been
placed in an executive fund. The
Executive Board and the Bohunk
will operate from these two funds.
George Grisworld, President of
the association, presided at the
meeting Tuesday morning.
Infirmary Has New Supply
Of Flu And Polio Vaccine
By BOBBY SWEVSON
As medical advisors the coun
try over are warning the Ameri
can i>eople that two of its deadliest
enemies are still lurking in tiie
wings waiting for another attack,
the Atlantic Christian College In
firmary announced this week that
it has the weapons to fight both
these enemies.
Medical experts have warned that
the country miay undergo another
siege of flu this winter and a
siege of polio next spring. Mrs.
Mary Wilson, Infirmary Nurse,
announced today that there is vac
cine on hand at the Infirmary to
decrease the prospects of any
wide epidemics on the ACC cam
pus.
Shots for flu and polio wUl be
given at the coUege infirnaary
Monday, November 10, until Fri
day, November 14, from. 10 o’
clock in the morning until 4 o’
clock in the evening. Shots will be
given during the entire week for
the benefit of day students who
frequent ACC only two or three
times a week.
Mrs. Wilson also announced that
there will be a series of three
shots to be given. For those tak
ing their first shots, another will
be due in exactly one month. No
notification will be given students
as to when they are to take these
shots since they are not compuls
ory.
There will be a charge of 50
cents per shot for those people ov
er 21 years of age. All under 21
wiU be given the shots free.
Although there has never been
a single case of polio on campus,
all students are urged to take
advantage of this opportunity of
defeating two of the main enemies
of mankind’s health. In the past,
students have flocked to the in
firmary and it is hoped this wiU
be the case this year.

Woody Herman Dance Plans Set
By JIM BISHOP
Collegiate Editor
The Woody Hermjan dance band
will appear on the Atlantic Chris
tian CoUege campus, Monday, No-
vern/ber 17, through the coopera
tion of the Executive Board of the
Cooperative Association and the
Interfraternity CouncU.
At a called meeting earlier this
year the funds to bring Woody
Herman and his orchestra to the
ACC campus were appropriated by
the Executive Board through the
Social Committee with the stipula
tion that the Inter - fraternity
Council be responsible for aU ar
rangements.
At a meeting held earlier this
week the IFC began to formulate
final plans for the affair.
Colin Sholar, spokesman for the
Tickets and Chaperones Commit
tee, suggested that the student ac
tivities cards be used for admis
sion to the dance. The committee
also suggested that each sorority
and fraternity provide one chaper
on for the dance. Both these rec
ommendations were approved by
the councU.
Miss Patt Murray, Chairman of
the Decorations Committee, an
nounced that her comimittee had
chosen “Midnight in Paris” as the
theme for the dance.
A committee headed by Miss
Peggy Pittman reported that the

ning of the same week.

floor. He also added that provid
ing a bandstand still presents a
problem.

for her committee, said that a con

basement of the gymnasium and
also suggested that the IFC hire
two coUege students to work there
during the entire evening. Dress

Trustees Of College Vote
Record Budget Of $ 721,000
Atlantic Christian CoUege stu
dents are now receiving benefits
of the largest budget in the his
tory of the college.
At a meeting held a week ago
Wednesday, the Board of Trustees
of the coUege adopted a revised
budget nearing three-quarters of a
million doUars for the operation of
the coUege during the current aca
demic year.
The ACC trustees placed their
stamp of approval on the budget
totaling $721,900, the largest in the
history of the 56 year old insti
tution. It represents a 20 percent
increase over the budget for 1957-
58. That budget totaled $599,800.
Dr. Arthur D. Wenger, ACC
President, said the sharp increase
in budget was made necessary by
an 8.7 percent increase in enroll
ment for this year. He said the col
lege had 1,098 students enrolled for
the fall semester. Last year the col
lege enroUed %9 students in Sep
tember.
A portion of the budget increase
will go into increased teaching fac
ulty salaries, it was explained. Dr.
Wenger said the budget calls for
increases to give full professors
from $1,000 to $1,100 more per year
than they were receiving at the be
ginning of the 1957-58 college year.
He said associate professors are
being increased from $650 to $900
above the salaries they received
at the start of last year. He said
the increases for assistant profes
sors wiU range from $600 to $700
and a $500 increase over the start
of the 1957-58 coUege year will be
made for instructors.
Dr. Wenger said that an ap
proximate 10 percent increase in
salaries for part time instructors at
the coUege is included in the new
budget.
