ATLAKiriC CHRISTIAN COLLEGE, APRIL 22, 1960
NUMBER TWENTY-TWO
Bryan, Walston, Pomfrey Elected

Blasted
By T. RILEY
At their official meeting this
week, the Executive Board mem
bers of the Cooperative Association
of Atlantic Christian College listen
ed attentively as Robert Dunn,
President of the Executive Board,
verbally lambasted the Administra
tion of the college.
The statements made by Dunn
were his own personal expressions
and feelings, but when members
of the board responded with their
consent and approval of the presi
dent’s remarks — they became the
voice of the Executive Board.
Stimulation of Dunn’s criticisms
of the Administration developed
within the board’s discussion of
this week’s elections. In making
plans and necessary arrangements
for election of the Vice - presi
dent, Secretary, Treasurer, and the
Publications editors and staff
members, it was asked what should
ibe done about nomination and elec
tion of the student - faculty rep
resentative to the Board for next
year.
It was explained that under this
year’s revision of the constitution
this office had been eliminated.
The difficulty which presented it
self to the board was that this
year’s revision of the constitution
Administration
By Exec Board
has not had a vote of approval
from the student - body; thus, dur
ing this election season, the pro
cedures of government are legis
late by the present constitution
which provides for the student-fa-
culty representative to be elected
to the board.
A member of the board inquired
BOBBY DUNN
dicing the discussion as to why
this had not been taken care of in
the mandatory request for approv
al by a vote of the student body.
This was the stimulus that caused
Dunn and other executives to anni
hilate any growing insinuations
that there had been neglect of
their responsibility.
In defense and attack, the stu
dent - body president stated force
fully that he, personally, had de
signated specific dates in advance
on the social calendar with the
approval of the Director of Stu
dent Activities for an assembly
program to present the revised
constitution and other phases of
government to the student 'body.
“But when I did,” Dunn empha
sized “the assembly was cancell
ed for another function.”
Reviewing his present term of
office, Dunn went on to say, “What
the students want and hold impor
tant in their college government
is made subservient to the desires
of the Administration! Student gov
ernment is and always has been
last on this campus!” As if in a
state of patient submission, surren
dering to the powers that be, Dunn
acquiesced: “But maybe, some
day, this board will have some

Content just to be there at last,
residents of the new men’s dormi
tory at Atlantic Christian College
took little time off from their mov
ing - in chores to comment on the
building.
Most common among the replies
to the question, “What do you like
most about the new dorm?” was
the terse comment: “the beds.
Every resident interviewed in the
new dorm this week comniented
upon the comfort of the residence
hall.
James Weaver of Mount Olive,
summed up the opinions of most
of the residents with this com
ment: “This is a far cry from
CaldweU Hall.”
The men of Atlantic Christian
College moved into the new dormi
tory last Monday. CaldweU Hall
has been closed down for renova-
tion.
Bill Thomas of Williamston, and
T. Riley, of Tampa, Florida, both
said that the atmosphere created
by the modern residence hall
should improve the academic at
mosphere of the college. “It is
much more conducive to study,
RUey said. Then Riley added a
postscript to the comment saying,
“In fact this place is more condu-
cive to living than Caldwell Hall.
Alton Lee, of Raleigh, was among
those that noted the contrast of
the new dorm to Caldwell HaU.
Lee also commented on the com
pactness of the rooms and the
building. .
All the furniture m the roonis
is stationary. The rooms are in
suites of four with a bathroom for
each suite of rooms. Each of the
suites is connected to the down
stairs by an interconi system.
Several of the residents of the
dorm noted that a big improve
ment could be made if a night ta
ble was placed between the beds.
The beds in all the rooms are
placed in the same relatioMhip to
each other. There is enough ^ace
for a small table between the beds.
Many of the men noted tois need.
Dedication of the new dormitory
is slated for May 2.
At present, there are about 80
men living in the dorm. All of
the residents of CaldweU HaU mo^
ed to the new dorm, and a lew
men who had been Uving m town
also moved to the dorm.
The building will house 144 men.
from the persons visited.
The CCA plans include the con
tacting of students who live in the
dormitories, fraternity houses as
well as the town students. Persons
who commute to ACC from out of
town will also be contacted.
On Wednesday a movie will be
shown in Howard Chapel depict
ing the importance of WUS. All
students and faculty members of
ACC are urged by the CCA cab
inet to attend this movie.

The first annual career assem
bly program sponsored jointly by
the Accounting and Business Clubs
was presented Tuesday and Thurs
day of this week.
Horace I. Seeley, charter mem
ber of the North Carolina Business
Education Council, spoke on “WeU-
Known Secrets of Business Suc
cess.”
Predictions for the year 2000
are: There wiU be 325 million peo
ple in this country as compared
with 180 miUion people at present;
if a cure for caner is found, the
figures wiU go straight up; there
wUl be 35 million people over 65
years of age; the average income
for a famUy wiU be $15,000 a year;
28 - hour work week; and two
hundred miUion automobiles wiU
be on the roads.
To iUustrate the bright prospects
for the future, Mr. Seeley said
that General Motors is expecting
a 40 percent increase in business
in the next five years; General
Electric, 50 percent increase by
196 and Carolina Power and
Light 60 percent by 196.
Mr. Seeley exclaimed that there
are greater opportunities now than
ever before in careers and voca
tions. There is also great oppor
tunity for salesmen and service
personnel. The trend in the busi
ness office is management — top
management has become a profes
sion.
Mr. Seeley predicted, “There is
coming in the business office and
business vocation fields much more
of statistical methodology. Facts
are the basis of sound decisions.”
Jobs in the near future are going
to be on higher occupational lev
els — jobs in which a person can
gain more satisfaction from his
job. People will use their brains
more and their hands less.
He ^aid the six basic skUls of
business success are:
1. Ability to use the scientific
method —every theory should be
tested against the facts.
2. Understanding people and skill
in working with them.
3. Communication skills.
4. Organization of a per.son’s ac
tivities — organize your time well.
5. Perserving effort.
6. Cultivating a memory of
names and faces.
“The secret of success is first to
say to yourself what you want to
be, then do what you have to do—
constancy of purpose. When you
have decided what you want to do,
don’t let anj^hing stand in your
way,” he said.
He said a speaker addressing a
graduating class might leave these
two thoughts:
1. There is no such thing as a
free lunch.
2, You can never go broke mak
ing a profit.
Mr. Seeley is also a past national
president of the National Office
Management Association. He is a
assistant treasurer of Carolina
Power and Light of Raleigh.
