Homecoming To Begin Tonight
Dean Spells Out
Procedures For
Social Calendar
By BOB COLLINS
Collegiate Co-Editor
The recent complaints about pro
cedures used in scheduling social
events on the college social cal
endar led Dr. Millard P. Burt,
ACC Dean, to explain those pro
cedures and their purposes to the
student body this week.
In a prepared statement to The
Collegiate, Dr. Burt said, “The so
da calendar can be of great ser
vice to the students in that it
coordinates the social events and
states clearly what events are
scheduled at any given date. I feel
that much of the confusion about
the calendar will be cleared up if
the students understand its work
ings and purpose.”
TTie statement was precipitated
by recent complaints to the Inter
fraternity Council and the Execu
tive Board of the Cooperative As
sociation.
Final Approval
Dr. Burt explained that as Dean
of the college, he has the responsi
bility of giving final approval to
any social event requested. When
any organization seeks to sche
dule a social event, the request for
permission to hold the event must
go through the Dean’s office.
However, it is not necessary for
students, and even not proper pro
cedure, to bring the requests di
rectly to the Dean’s office.
Following is the procedure to be
followed in requesting permission
to 'hold social events:
If the event invoves both men
and women, the request is - to be
taken first to the Dean of Women,
Miss Sarah Bain Ward.
The Dean of Women will then
ascertain whether the event is of
the type, and being held in s'ach
a place, that meets her approval.
The Dean of Women also must
be notified three days before the
event who the chaperones are to
be.
Request Forwarded
When the Dean of Women ap
proves the request, it is then for
warded to the office of the Direc
tor of Student Life, John W. Stair.
The student submitting the re
quest does not take it to the Stu
dent Life office. It is forwarded
by the Dean of Women.
A social event that involves only
men, such as a fraternity stag
party, is to be requested through
the office of the Dean of Men.
John H. Rich.
The Dean of Men will forward
the request to the Student Life of
fice if he approves it.

Sharp Letter Is Center
Of Boar(Ts Discussion
A two-hour session concerning
student-faculty business revealed
Monday evening that, with the
close of Dead Week, the Execu
tive Board of the Student Coopera
tive Association was once again
alive to the issues at hand on
the campus of Atlantic Christian
College.
The student governing body
turned its immediate attention to
a letter addressed to the Execu
tive Board by Allan R. Sharp,
Chairman of the Department of
Religion and Philosophy.
The letter expressed Mr. Sharp’s
personal opinion of the action tak
en by the Cooperative Association
in inviting the faculty as guests
to the recent Tommy Dorsey
Dance. Clearly revealing the fa
culty member’s personal resent
ment, it stated, “In the first place
the entire issue is a violation of
the constitution of the Student Co
operative Association, inasmuch as
the faculty and the student body
are both participating members of
this organization. The faculty can
not be guests of themselves, for
they are equal members of the
Student Coof>erative Association.”
The board indicated an under
standing of Mr. Sharp’s justifica
tion for not paying an activities
fee to attend camjpus activities,
“Let it be stated that if this posi
tion refers to the $31.00 activity
fee which the students pay and the
faculty do not, it should be noted
that the faculty stay here many
years serving as sponsors of or
ganizations and advisors, which
are services beyond the caU of
duty.”
The opinion of the department
chairman was considered valid by
Robert Dunn, President .of the
Executive Board of the Coopera
tive Association. Dunn expressed
his appreciation for its having
been written.

ness, Miss SaUy Scudder, Head
Cheerleader of the cheerleading
team of Atlantic Christian and
