NUMBER SIX
Leaders Discuss Gripes
At Exec Board Meeting
By TERRILL RILEY
The Executive Board of the Co
operative Association of Atlantic
Christian College at its meeting
Monday night disc'assed the lack
of student interest in the govern
ment on the ACC campus.
Various members of the Execu
tive Board brought to the meet
ing comments from students to the
effect that they protested some of
the recent actions of the 'board.
There were two chief complaints
voiced by members of the Execu
tive Board. First, that these pro
tests were not made directly to
the student representatives. Second,
these protests were made after,
rather than before, the action was
taken.
Robert Dunn, president of the
Cooperative Association responded,
“Either the students of Atlantic
Christian College do not complete
ly understand that the Cooperative
Association exists to establish stu
dent government through the in
dividual’s expression of his opin
ions, or they just don’t care!”
Everett Bryant, vice - president
of the Executive Board of the
cooperative Association, expressed

stated. Samtny White, president
of the IFC, said that the organi

ture.
John W. Stair. Director of Stu

New System Of Reception

Dead Week Slated
To Open November 9
In an attempt to provide better
service and more careful attention
to those persons who visit the Ad
ministrative Offices at Atlantic
Christian, a new system was start
ed in the Administration Building
this week.
“Many visitors, students, and fa
culty members have had to wait
long periods of time in recent
weeks when they came to the
building to see a member of the
administrative staff,” Dr. Arthur
D. Wenger, ACC President, ex
plained. “TTie reason they had to
wait is because the administrative
official did not always know they
wanted to see him.”
In an attempt to improve the
communications, all visitors to the
building are being requested to go
by the telephone switchboard infor
mation center in the lobby of the
building. The switchboard operator
and receptionist has been instruct
ed to contact the office of the
staff member the visitor wishes
to see to determine if he is in.
The Collegiate will not be pub
lished, The Executive Board will
not meet, fraternities and sorori
ties will not meet and other extra
curricular activities will be sus
pended as “Dead Week” begins
November 9 on the Atlantic
Christian College campus.
Dead Week is a week of curtail
ed activity which was put into ef
fect by the administrative council
of the college upon submission of
a recommendation by the Execu
tive Board of 1957.
The board felt that there should
be a week set aside each semester
during which there would be no
during the semester.
The Executive Board in J957, un
der the administration of David
Blackwood, president, presented
the recommendation that such a
week be set aside to the adminis
trative council. The council approv
ed the proposal and the week of
suspended activity was made a
part of semester programs.
The administration of Dead Week
comes under the office of the Dean
of the college.
Dr. Millard P. Burt, ACC Dean,
pointed out that exception was
made to the rules of Dead Week
this year as permission was grant
ed to hold the dance featuring the

Homecoming Parade Off;
Date Change Proposed
Atlantic Christian College’s an
nual Homecoming Parade has been
cancelled, it was announced this
week by the Homecoming Commit
tee.
James E. Fulghum, Chairman of
the Homecoming Committee, said
the group decided to take the par
ade out of the schedule when it
was learned that the Wilson Cham
ber of Commerce had set its an
nual Christmas Parade for Friday,
November 20. The Homecoming
Parade was set for Saturday, Nov
ember 21.
“Our committee felt that is was
impossible to try to have parades
in Wilson on successive days,”
Mr. Fulghum said. “We contacted
the Chamber officials and learned
that they were unable to make a
change in their plans. It woulid
be almost impossible to get bands
from the area to come in for two
parades in two days,” he said.
“We also would have a hard task
of finding enough trucks for the
two parades.”
Mr. Fulghum said the commit-
^tee realizing that the November
schedule is getting more crowd
ed every year, has recommended
to the Administrative Council of
the coUege a change in the tra
ditional Homecoming date. “We
have recommended that Homecom
ing be celebrated in February af
ter this year,” Mr. Fulghum said.
“We believe that we can have a
good program at that time with
fewer conflicts.”
The present schedule for Home
coming calls for a pep rally and
sock hop on Friday night, Novem
ber 20, in the college gymnasium.
The next day a luncheon and
business session for alumni will
be held at 1 p.m. in the college
dining haU. Featured on the pro
gram will be the Atlantic Chris
tian College Chorus.
At 3 p.m. a band concert fea
turing the Atlantic Christian Col
lege Band under the direction of
Darrell Harbaum, wUl be held in
Howard Chapel.
At 4 p.m. a campus open house
will be held with refreshments be
ing served in the Bohunk. At the
same time several classes wUl
hold reunions. They are the classes I
of 1909, 1919, 1929, 1939, 1949, and
1959. I
Fraternity and Sorority suppers {
will be held at 5:30 p.m. to be |
followed by a basketball game at i
8 p.m. between ACC and Pem
broke State College. The game will
be played in the Wilson Community
Center. At the half-time of the
game, the Homecoming Queen will
be crowned. Organizations are now
making nominations for Home
coming Queen. Mrs. Lynne N.
West is the faculty chairman of the
queen’s contest committee.
The final feature on the Home
coming program will be a dance
to be held' in the lobby of the
Classroom Building following the
basketball game.
In discussing Homecoming to
day, Mr. Fulghum said the com
mittee hopes the fraternities, sor
orities and residence halls on the
campus will have outstanding dec
orations for the Homecoming. “We
are not asking other groups to erect
displays,” Mr. Fulghum said.
