Organ Recently Installed
Marks ISew Developments
The musical strains which fill
the air in Howard Chapel this year
are from the newly - installed or
gan which is acclaimed as the
newest development in electronic
organs.
The new organ which was install
ed recently in the chapel went into
production only last June at the
Allen Organ Company plant in
Pennsylvania. The musical tones
in, the new organ are produced by
transistors which measure less
than one inch in length.
Complex System
Gene A. Featherstone, member
of the faculty of the music depart
ment, explained that the tones pro
duced by the transistors are in
turn amplified by a complex sys
tem.
Each of the speaker boxes of the
organ has six speakers mount^
on a rotating disk. As the organ is
being played, the disk rotates to
improve the quality of the sounds
produced.
Mr. Featherstone also pointed out
that the tone quality of the organ
is quite like that of a pipe organ.
The method of sound production
used is the best in electronic or
gans, he said. It was also pointed
out that one of America’s most fa
mous tone scientists perfected the
tone quality of the organ.
A Rush Order
When the order was placed for
the organ, the representative of
the Allen Organ Company managed
to push through a rush order and
the instrument was delivered and
installed in about one - third the
time usually required.
Receiving the organ ahead of
schedule had other advantages than
the time element. The instrument
that was delivered to Atlantic
Christian College was originally
slated for another location, and the
college was fortunate in receiving
many extra features which were
donated by the company.
The present amplifier system uti
lizes two speaker boxes. However,
the ideal set up would be to have
. three of the amplifier sets, and the

Annual Rush Week Set

Ground Rules Listed
See TYNDALL Pagre 2
By RALPH MESSICK
Collegiate Co-Editor
Prospective fraternity and so
rority members are urged to keep
the week of October 19-23 open on
their calendars, Sammy White,
president of the Inter - Fraternity
Council, advised. At this time, the
Greek letter organizations on the
Atlantic Christian CoUege campus
will observe rush week, according
to plans made in the IFC meeting
held Tuesday night.
In further business at the meet
ing, White, representing Sigma Phi
Epsilon, was re - elected president
of the council. Miss Carol Austin,
representing Omega Chi, was elect
ed secretary of the organization;
William Newberry of Sigma Pi,
vice - president and Dave tMus-
tian of Sigma Phi Epsilon, treasur
er.
White appointed a committee to
revise the present constitution of
the IFC. Serving on this committee
are John W. Stair, Director of Stu
dent Affairs, Miss Austin, and Ev
erett Purvis, of Delta Sigma Phi.
Most of the meeting, however,
was devoted to the planning for
rush week, the period of fraternity
and sorority enlistment. The coun
cil agreed to follow the schedule
and rules that were set up last
year.
The procedure from last year
stipulates that "all female fresh
men and transfer students who are
not already members of national
social sororities shall be divided
alphabetically into four groups.
These groups shall alternately vis
it each sorority on successive af
ternoons between the hours of 3:00
p.m. and 6:00 p.m.
The rules further state, “All
new male students who are not al
ready members of a national social
fraternity shall be divided alpha
betically into four groups. These
groups shall alternately visit each
fraternity on successive evenings
between the hours of 7:00 p.m. and
9:30 p.m.
“From Monday morning until
Wednesday at 5:00 p.m. quiet days
will be observed. This means that
each fraternity and sorority mem
ber is pledged on his honor not to
discuss with potential pledges any
matter which might influence their
decision concerning pledging.”
White also announced that uni
form bids will bo furnished by the
IFC for all the fraternities and so
rorities on the campus. Organiza
tional colors will be pinned to these
bids by the Greeks. These colors
are to be worn by the persons
pledging the Greek letter organiza
tions after the bid has been accept
ed and returned to the Student Life
office.
White urged the representatives
on the council to stress to their
respective fraternities and sorori
ties the importance of upholding
the rush week rules. He said that
the IFC delegates had an obliga
tion to each other and to their fra
ternities and sororites to follow all
the rules of the IFC. ’
First Art Show
To Open Monday
Next Monday, October 5, the At
lantic Christian College Art De
partment wiU open its first exhibi
tion of the year the “Ceramics
of Japan” to the general public.
This exhibition is to be one of con
temporary ceramics in which three
general types of artistry, crafts
manship, and manufacturing will
be represented. In addition to the
actual pottery, there will be a set
of display photographs showing
steps in the manufacture of pot
tery, the kilns, at Mashiko, and
Hamada Shoji at work. There wUl
also be a colorful map of Japan
showing the location of rural pot
teries.
Representative Pottery
This collection is thought to be
reasonably representative of the
art of pottery making in Japan.
The exhibition includes wares us
ed on ordinary occasions as well
as decorative and functional piec
es.
Some of the potters represented
in this exhibit are Arakawa Toyo-
zo, Asami Ryuzo, Hamada Shoji
and Kato Mineo.
The exhibit, to be shown through
the month of October, should prove
interesting in its a wide variation
of items offered. The showing be
held in the lobby gallery of the
Atlantic Christian College class
room building.
Record Enrollment Presents
Many Problems For Officials
By BOB COLLINS
Collegiate Co-Editor
The enrollment of 1,213 students
at Atlantic Christian CoUege this
year has presented a multiplicity
of problems to the administrative
officials of the coUege, and has
plunged ACC into the midst of the
enroUment crisis which is confront
ing coUeges and universities across
the nation.
Dr. Arthur D. Wenger, ACC Pres
ident, explained that the pre - set
registration maximum was 1,1OT.
This was to be a calculated in
crease of five per cent over the
enroUment of 1,098 students of last
year.
Only about 40 per - registered
upperclassmen failed to return for
the current semester.
The record number of returning
students made the control figure
impossible and a net increase of
10.5 percent was reached.
Not only did the number of re
turning students and the number
of new acceptances upset the plans
for controlled enroUment, but it
has upset other plans made before
registration.
Dr. MiUard P. Burt, ACC Dean,
found it necessary to make the ad
justment in the chapel schedule
which put freshmen and seniors in
chapel on Tuesdays and sopho
mores and juniors in chapel on
Thursdays. The original plan was
for freshmen to attend chapel on
Tuesdays and the upperclassmen
to attend as a block on Thursdays.
There have been compUcations
arising in the scheduling of classes
in the various classrooms. The
present college facilities are taxed
to the Umit, the dean pointed out,
and it is difficult to work out a
satisfactory room usage schedule.
The dean went on to say that the
problems have been solved and that
the academic procedures of the
coUege are operating normally
now.
Dr. Wenger said that the col
lege is seeking to do aU it can to
provide an education to those who
are seeking such. However, he
pointed out that the coUege has
done as much as it can with pres
ent facilities. This problem is not
unique to ACC, Dr. Wenger point
ed out, but is universal in the na
tion’s schools. The enrollment cris
is is challenging the abilities of all
coUeges and universities to pro
vide faciUties to those seeking ad
missions.
Dr. Burt echoed the opinions of
the coUege president and stated
further, “I hope aU the students
here wUl take every opportunity
to make full use of the program
the coUege has to offer. TTie ever-
increasing desire of people to at
tend coUege presents many prob
lems, and many applicants cannot
be accepted, "riiose who were ad
mitted to ACC this year are privi
leged to have the opportunity to
study here and I hope they make
use of their opportunities.”
