Tyndall Reports
Smoking Abuses
Students are breaking the rules
by smoking in unauthorized areas
in the Science Building, it was
pointed out this week by Dr. J.
P. TyndaU, Chairman of the De-
partmeut of Science and Mathe
matics.
Smoking is allowed only in the
lounge areas, the faculty offices,
and the entrance vestibule of the
building, it was explained. How
ever, students have been seen
smoking in other areas.
Dr. TyndaU said smoking in un
authorized areas of the building
is dangerous. “Some of our chem
icals are explosive and a fire
could be caused by a careless
smoker.”

Sorority Initiations Held
By ANNE JENKINS
HighUghting the weekend of Jan
uary 23, and 24, were the initia
tions of three of Atlantic Chris
tian College’s four sororities. The
fourth sorority initiation was held
January 29, and 30, completing the
sorority initiations.
These initiations involved busy
schedules for both sorority sisters
and pledges. Informal initiation be
gan early Friday morning of each
weekend and continued through
Saturday afternoon. The formal
aspect of initiation concluded the
initiations Saturday evening.
Growth in the sororities is very
evident in the reports given. So
rority life has obviously become
important to many new girls on
the ACC campus. It is hoped that
new members may gain from and
contribute to individual sororities.
Following is -a synopsis of initia
tion exercises for the various soro
rities.
Phi Sigma Tau
Phi Si^ma Tau’s informal initi
ation began at 6:30 a.m. Friday,
January 23, when pledges arrived
at the Chapel of Atlantic Christian
College dressed in the sorority co
lors — yeUow sweaters and black
skirts, wearing no make up. After
a short session there, the group ad
journed to the dining hall singing
the “Zorro” song. The song was
a result of the initiation theme—
“Zorro and her band of Zeros.”

During the day, the pledges were
kept busy doing good deeds for
their sisters.

Mrs. Betixany R„ Joyner, ACC
Registrar, reported this week that
1,055 students had been enrolled
for the spring term.
The enrollment showed a slight
drop from the record fall enroll
ment of 1,098 students.
“We had planned to have a
smaU decrease to even up teach
er load and other problems,” Dr.
Arthur D. Wenger, ACC President,
said.
Dr. Wenger said the college had
set its admissions schedule so
that an increase in enrollment
would not have been possible.
Dr. Wenger said he was highly
pleased with the way the enroll
ment figures ;came out.
Traditionally the spring semes
ter enrollment'is smaller than that
in the fall. However, last year
ACC broke this trend and had a
sharp increase in spring enroll
ment.
“We could not let that happen
this year because of our particular
situation,” Dr. Wenger said.

Cheerleaders Get Help
At the regular meeting of the
Atlantic Christian College Coopera
tive Association Executive Board
Monday it was decided that the
Executive Board will underwrite
the expenses for eating incurred
by the cheerleaders on their trips
to the basketball games away from
home.
■Mrs. Sharon H. Ginn represent
ed the cheerleaders and present
ed the plea for the funds. The
cheerleaders will travel to the
forthcoming ball games with East
Carolina College, Guflford College
and Elon College.
The action was necessary be
cause the cheerleaders have no
budget alloted to finance these
trips. The purpose of the trips
is to give encouragement to the
basketball team is the games
away from home.
At the meeting a week ago a let
ter was read from Wectern Caro
lina College concerning the all-con
ference cheerleading squad that
wiU be chosen from the North State
Conference schools. One cheerlead
er wiU be selected from each of
the schools and the squad will be
presented at the conference tourn
ament held in Lexington, N. C.
The question of the appropriate
award to be presented io these
cheerleaders was discussed. The
suggestion of a sweater was
deemed impractical and it was
decided that Atlantic Christian Col
lege will recommend that the
award be a bracelet or necklace
with a silver megaphone on it and
possibly a letter.
The method of selection for the
Atlantic Christian College repre
sentative was discussed and it was
decided that the cheerleaders
themselves will make the selec-
sponsor. Miss Ann Bullock, wiU be
in charge of the election.
A letter from the United States
National Student Association was
read concerning the possibility of
helping supply a scholarship for an
Algerian student. The Executive

on the first Tuesday with attend
ance required, and on the third

“A” chapels. Those whose last
names begin with letters M.
through Z wiU attend chapels to

for missing their scheduled chapel
program on their attendance slip.

34 Students Are Suspended
For Academic Deficiencies
Of the 60 Atlantic Christian Col
lege students on academic proba
tion during the fall semester, 34
were suspended for failure to re
move probation at the conclusion
of the term on January 16.
Mrs. Bethany R. Joyner, Col
lege Registrar, said the remaining
26 students on probation were able
to improve their grades enough to
remove probation.
If a student falls more than 12
quality points behind at ACC, he
goes on academic probation the
following semester. If he fails to
make enough progress and is stiU
more than 12 behind at the end of
that semester, he is automatically
suspended for one semester and
then must make application for
re-admission.
Sixty students were suspended
for academic reasons at the con
clusion of the spring semeser last
June. Last January, 33 students
were suspended.
Students who do not understand
the academic probation rule,
should check with their advisors.
Students who are in trouble should
make periodic visits to their ad
visors for guidance and help.
Mrs. Joyner said the number of
suspensions total about the same
for each semester of each year.
“This means that more of our
students are making better
grades,” Mrs. Joyner said, “since
we have increased our enrollment
steadily.
