Faculty Group Will Seek
Grants For ACC Students
A definite program has now been
set up for students seeking finan
cial assistance to further their ed
ucation on the undergratuate or
graduate level.
Dr. Millard P. Burt, ACC Dean,
has announced the appointment of
Hugh B. Johnston, member of the
faculty of the Modern Language
Department, to serve as chairman
of a committee to assemble and
study aU available information re
garding scholarships, fellowships,
and grants — any type of financial'
aid — for students.
This area of student service is
one which has not been thoroughly
investigated in the past. Conse
quently, students desiring finan
cial aid for further study have
found it necessary to seek out on
their own initiative whatever op
portunities there may be. The fuc-
tion of the new committee is to
serve as intermediary between eli
gible students and colleges and un
iversities offering financial aids.
The Scholarship Committee is
composed of one member from
each department. Those serving on
the committee with Mr. Johnston
are Mrs. Lynne N. West, Business
Department; Dr. Vida Elliott, Ed
ucation Department; William T.
Ramsey, English Department;
Robert K. Black, Fine Arts De
partment; Edward L. Cloyd, Jr.,

Third Herd Rocks Rafters At Big Dance
Rafters in the Atlantic Christian
College gymnasium rocked Mon
day night as Woody Herman and
his Third Herd set up stables for
a night of entertainment.
A large crowd of students and
faculty members attended the big
dance sponsored by the ACC In
terfraternity Council and, between
dances, reminisced. It was in the
late Thirties and the Forties that
Woody Herman appeared on the
musical horizon. His Woodchoppers
were a favorite swing band of the
big band era.
Monday night the Third Herd had
a much different sound than the
Woodchoppers had during their
heyday. The modern jazz influence
has permeated Herman’s style.
His new band leans heavily on
contemporary jazz'. However, for
the benefit of thse who enjoyed
the Woodchoppers so m'uch in their
day, Herman presented some old
Woodchopper arrangements Mon
day night. Some of them were
“Blues On Parade,” “Caldonia,”
and “Woodchop^r’s BaU.”
It was the biggest dance ever
held on the Atlantic Christian Col
lege campus. It is estimated that
about 400 students and faculty
members attended. As man ob
served as danced. The sponsoring
Interfraternity Council could term
the dance a great success.
Herman’s band was not the only
highlight, however. Th^ presenta
tion of Homecoming Queen contest
ants at half-time proved to be a
most entertaining event. Miss Sha
ron Hazelrigg served as mistress
of ceremonies and presented the
contestants and their escorts.
The contestants presented were
Miss Gail Joyner, escorted by Rex
Cooper, Miss Frances Evett, es
corted by H. E. Barkley, Miss
Frances Sutton, escorted by Elli
