Collegiate Editor
One of the most famous musical
pioneers of the swing and jazz ages
will bring his music crew to the
campus of Atlantic Christian Col
lege Monday night to play for the
largest dance in the history of
ACC.
Woody Herman, a name that
made juke box coin slots jingle
for years, will front a new group
at the dance to be sponsored by
the Atlantic Christian College In-
terfraternity Council, Monday
night at 8 p.m. in the ACC Gym.
All students, their dates, and fac
ulty members are invited to at
tend. There will be no charge.
Remember “Blues On Parade,”
“Woodchopper’s Ball, “Caldonia,”
“Your Father’s Mustache,” and
“Apple Honey?” Well, Woody Her
man and his band of the ’40’s
made them all famous. They were
records that were played all over
the country.
Big bands lost their prominence
following World War II, with the
arrival of television. Now it seems
they may be on the way back and
Woo^y Herman is helping to lead
the parade.
The new band is known as “The
MUSIC MAKERS FOR DANCE—ACC will have two band leaders
playing at its dance Monday night in the ACC Gym. Woody Her
man, popular music maker, left, will bring his band to the camp
us for the dance sponsored by the Interfraternity Council. A1
Belletto is the leader of a special jazz combo that is incorporated
into the Herman band. He is a well known combo leader himself.

grate the best features of tradi
tional jazz with the better sons
from the new school now appear
ing on the scene.
Sammy White, president of the
Interfraternity Council, said today.
“We are all looking forward, I
know, to the dance Monday night.
Woody Herman is a big name in
the music business and we are
pleased to have his group on our
campus.”
The dance is undoubtedly the top
social attraction of the fall semes
ter on the ACC campus. Elaborate
plans have been made to make it
enjoyable for those who attend.
At intermission a special attrac
tion has been planned. At that time
the contestants in the college’s
Homecoming Queen’s contest will

Paris.”
Refreshments will be sold at cost
in the basement of the gymnasi
um. A coat room wiU be operated.

Executive Board Studies Bohunk
By BOB COLLINS
Upon hearing complaints from
dissatisfied students that the Bo
hunk was not being kept clean,
the Executive Board held a
lengthy discussion seeking a solu
tion in its regular meeting Mon
day.
Appointed to serve as a commit
tee to work out a cleanliness cam
paign were Lyn Grice, Miss Sally
Jo Griffin arid James Boswell.
It was pointed out in the meet
ing that the students and faculty
are not taking the proper interest
in keeping the Bohunk free from
trash and litter. At any given time
a visitor in the Bohunk wiU find
the tables littered with cups, sand
wich wrappers, cigarette butts,
and other forms of trash. Spilled
cold drinks, and scraps of food
serve to detract from pleasantness
of the atmosphere and to draw
flies in great n'umbers.
It was also pointed out by mem
bers of the Board that keeping
trash cleaned up is the responsibili
ty of every student and faculty

member. The Bohunk is cleaned
every morning, but within a few
hours it is littered with trash. This
not only creates an unpleasant sit
uation for the regular users of
the area, but is not good adver
tisement to show visitors on the
campus.
The Bohunk Governing Board
will be asked to take some defin
ite action, but no matter what ac
tion is taken, the primary respon
sibility still lies with the persons
who use the area regularly. With
out the co-operation of the students,
the Bohunk will continue to be an
eye-sore on the campus.
In further action, the Executive
Board elected members of the 1958-
59 Bohunk Governing Board. Elect
ed to serve as representative for
the resident men was Conner
Kraft. Representing the resident
women is Miss Jane Johnson. The
non-resident student representa
tives will be Donald Benton for the
Men and Miss Catherine Pappas
for the Women. Faculty Represen
tatives are Miss Ann Solomon and
R. Parker Wilson.
Atlantic Christian will be one of
75 colleges represented at the
Southern Students conference to
discuss racial tensions at Pfeiffer
College on November 28, 29, and
30. The Executive Board elected
Bob Collins to represent the stu
dent body at large. The other
Representative from CAC will be
Miss Peggy Pittman who was se
lected by the Campus Christian
Association.
It was announced at the meeting
that the Gavel Committee has re
ceived the class gavels. Each of
the gavels has the name of the
president of the class engraved
upon it. The gavels will be
placed in the trophy case.
Polio Shots Go Begging
Atlantic Christian College stu
dents and faculty mjemlbers have
failed to take advantage of the
availability of flu and polio shots
at the college infirmary.
Mrs. Mary Wilson, College
Nurse, said today that only eight
students had visited the infirmary
to request the shots since it was
announced last week that they
were available.
All students under 21 years of
age can obtain the shots free of
charge, Mrs. Wilson said. Those
over 21 are required to pay only 50
cents per shot.
Medical experts contend that the
nation may undergo another siege
of flu this winter similar to that
suffered last winter when the
Asian Flu virus swept the country.
Experts also said that polio may
start striking more and more
adults since the Salk polio vaccine
has been administered to most of
the nation’s children.
Students may obtain shots by vis
iting the infirmary anytime be
tween 10 o’clock ifi the morning
and 4 o’clock in the afternoon on
school days, Mrs. Wilson said.
She also urges aU faculty mem
bers who have not had the shots
to visit the infirmary so that they
can be administered to them.

lege seniors have been nominated

Gift By Hackney
Pays For Paving
Atlantic Christian College stu
dents and faculty members were
enjoying new asphalt walks on the
campus this week thanks to the
generosity of a local friend of the
college.
Recently Willis N. Hackeny of
Wilson instructed college officials
to pave several walks around Har
per Hall, the dining hall and the
gymnasium, at his expense.
The work was completed last
week.
“In discussing the project today
Dr. Arthur D. Wenger, ACC Presi
dent, said: “Mr. Hackney has an
outstanding record of generosity to
this institution. Many times he has
seen the need and has offered as
sistance that has made the pro
gram of Atlantic Christian College
a much more fruitful one. We can
not pay too much tribute to him.
His support of Christian Higher
Education merits our sincere ap
preciation.”
