Dead Week Slows
Campus Activity
In keeping with the policy of
suspended extracurricular activity
during Dead Week on the Atlantic
Christian College campus. The
Collegiate will not be published
next week.
Dead Week, which begins Mon
day, is a week of suspended ac
tivity which was extablished by
the administrative council of the
college upon a recommendation of
such action by the Executive Board
of the Cooperative Association in
1957. The week of suspended ac
tivity comes in the middle of each
semester of the academic year.
Mr. Winstead said that the sti
pulation for members of the facul
ty and administration to purchase
$1.00 tickets in order to attend the
dance featuring the Tommy Dor
sey Orchestra appeared to him to
be most “discourteous.” He em
phasized to the board that there
was no need in the association’s
emergency fund for the very small
amount of money which would be
made by such a stipulation to the
faculty and administrative staff.
“Indirectly,” Winstead pointed
out, “it appears to be a polite
way of saying that these people
are not welcome.”
Places A Barrier
Winstead further stated that
such an action places a barrier
between the relationship of the
student to the faculty; he said
that this was directly contradic
tory to the philosophy of Atlantic
Christian’s “campus family” rela
tionship. Winstead completed his
opinion on the matter in saying
that some . provision should be
made, such as a combined stu-
dent-faculty activities card, so that
faculty and administrative mem
bers of the college “family” could
attend campus activities under the
same conditions as the students.
Everette Bryant, Vice president
of the Cooperative Association,
asked for a repeal of the arrange
ment requiring members of the
faculty and administrative staffs
to purchase tickets for the coming
Tommy Dorsey Orche.stra dance.
The arrangement had been made
by the board in one of its previous
weekly meetings; the reasoning
was .that the faculty and admin
istration do not pay an activities
fee of $31.00 which every student
pays. Members of the Executive
Board voted to repeal the stipula
tion. The chairman indicated that
a special invitation would be made
to the faculty and administration
to attend the dance without the
cost of admission. They will be
the guests of the student body.

Semi-Formal Attire Set
By IFC For Big Dance
By RALPH MESSICK
Collegiate Co-Editor
Final plans for the Tommy Dor
sey Dance being held in the Wil
son Recreation Center were made
by the Interfraternity Council of
Atlantic Christian College at its
meeting Tuesday night.
The IFC reaffirmed the notice
concerning the attire for the dance
at the meeting. This notice is to
the effect that the attire will be
semi-formal — men wearing suits
and women wearing party or
cocktail dresses.
In further business, members of
the ticket committee said that they
were planning to sell tickets for
the dance to night students Mon
day and Tuesday night in the
Classroom Builidng. These tickets
wiU be sold for $1 each to night
students only. The ticket will ad
mit the student and his or her
date to the dance.
A motion was made by Miss
Peggy Green at the meeting that
no outsiders or spectators be ad
mitted to the dance. This motion
was passed unanimously.
Bobby Dunn, president of the
Cooperative Association, attended
the meeting and urged the frater
nity and sorority delegates pre
sent to entreat their respective
brothers and sisters to uphold the
dignity of the college at the dance.
Dunn said that this was the first
function of its kind to be held in
the Recreation Center. Future op
portunities for Atlantic Christian
College to use the center depend
largely upon the result of this trial
effort.
Sammy White, president of the
IFC, reiterated the remarks made
by Dunn. He added, ‘Students that
attend the dance have a responsi
bility to the coUege to care for
the Recreation Center.”
White also said that no students
wiU be admitted to the Dance
without Athletic Association Cards
or tickets. There wUl be no ex-
