IFC Presidenfs Speech
Calls For New Prosram
T r. “
James Van Camp, newly-elected
president of the Interfraternity
Council of Atlantic Christian Col
lege, outlined a three - point pro
gram for the IFC to foUow next
year.
These plans were presented to
the IFC at a meeting held last
week. The three points advocated
by Van Camip were; 1, Let’s grow;
2, Let’s grow scholastically; and
3, Let’s grow socially. Van Camp
said that following these three
points could prove to 'be “a start
ing point for a strong IFC at AOC.”
In further business at the IFC
meeting, Billy Batchelor, from
Sigma Pi Fraternity was elected
vice - president of the IFC. Other
officers were also elected at the
meeting: Miss Zarelda Walston,
Phi Sigma Tau, was elected Sec
retary and Julius Woody, Alpha
Sigma Phi, was elected Treasurer.
In his plans for the IFC to grow
Van Camp suggested that the
Greek letter organizations plan a
united publicity campaign that will
reach students planning to attend
AOC. He said that a brochure
showing that fraternity and sorori
ty life has many advantages and
is not a substitute for academic
acheivement, but a supplement to
it would be a valuable asset.
Van Camp said that this bro
chure, sent out to these futuure
students during the summer
months would increase the desire
to become a member of a frater
nity or sorority, and would place
fraternity life on a higher plane
in the eyes of parents.
Van Camp said that this bro-
IFC to restudy what it has to
offer prospective members. “Let
us face the fact that freshmen to
day are looking more for an edu
cation than they have been in the
past. We must also realize that in
the past many students joined fra
ternities in order to have a decent
place to live, but as a result of the
new dormitories being built on col
lege campuses, this need is no
longer vital,” Van Camp said.
This led Van Camp to give his
reasons for scholastic growth:
“There is a need for the IFC to
develop a better attitude toward
scholarship which will convince
parents, future fraternity and sor
ority members, and college admin
istrators that fraternity life can
truly help a person achieve aca
demic success and make the tran
sition to coUege level accomplish
ments,” Van Camp said.
Van Camp also said that “a bal
anced participation in extracurri
cular activities usually compli
ments good scholarship and that a

WUS Fund Drive
Ends Here Today
The World University Service
Fund Drive on the Atlantic Chris
tian CoUege campus cornes to a
close today Bob Bishop, who is
serving as a solicitor for the
drive, announced.
“Members of the ACC family
who have not contributed to this
fund are urged to make their do
nations as soon as possible,” Bis
hop said. He also said that dona
tions will be accepted next week
from, students who are unable to
contribute at the present time.
WUS is the only drive that ACC
students are asked to donate to in
the spring semester. Several years
ago the Executive Board decided
to concentrate on one large char
ity drive each semester instead of
continually harassing the students
for money.
The Executive Board gave the
choice of the chairty to the Cam
pus Christian Association who di
rects the fund raising. “WUS was
chosen as the charity to supiwrt
because it is a student organiza
tion, which helps students who are
attempting to help themselves,”
Bishop said.
“Throughout the history of World
University Service the internation
al organization has demonstrated
a keen ability to further the cause
of education in underdeveloped
areas,” Bishop said.
Commenting further on the im
portance of WUS Bishop said:
“WUS is an organization of stu
dents from 41 countries concerned
with the fight against poverty,
disease, ignorance, and despair in

Dean Urges
To Register
All Students
In Advance
Advance registration for the 19W
summer and fall terms wUl begm
May 10, it was announced this
week by Dr. Millard P. Burt, ACC
Dean.
Dr. Burt pointed out in his an
nouncement that it is necessary
for all students who are presenuy
enrolled at the coUege, and who
plan to return to ACC next faU, to
register during the advance regis
tration period.
“Every effort wiU be made to
make registration for the Summer
Session and the FaU term as con
venient, efficient, and as effective
as possible,” Dr. Burt said. He
went on to add, “A new system
was inaugurated last year,
many difficulties developed. It is
well to point out some of these to
show measures to be taken to
avoid the same problems this
year.” , 4. +
Dr. Burt then pointed out that at
the beginning of the school y®ar,
when the new system of using tne
class cards was started, a bottle
neck developed when it was dis
covered that each student s name
had to be punched on the card^
“The supplier of the system failed
to inform us beforehand that the
names had to be punched on the
cards,” Dr. Burt said
The Dean also said that the
large number of last - minute
schedule changes complicated the
registration procedure. “This year,
students are to work out a com
plete schedule with their advisors
and change it only if a definite
need arises,” the Dean said.
Dr. Burt also noted that appli
cations for admission are way
ahead of last year, and that the
number of students that can be
accepted is Umited. Priority wiU
be given to returning students,
but they may take advantage of
this priority only through advance
registration. , , ^
It was also noted that last ye^,
a large number of students who
had registered in the spring of toe
previous term did not return. J^e
college must have some tangible
e^dence of each student’s mtention
to return next faU,” the Dean said.
Dr. Burt then went on to say,
“As an indication of faith and plan
to return, each student wiU be re-
niiired to pay an advance regis
tration payment of ten dollars at
registration. This is not an addi
tional charge because it wiU be
applied to the charges for the
term. This advance payment will
be refunded at any time until
August 24, 1%0. If a student who
has registered in advance decides
not to return, and notifies the col
lege before August 24, then the
paymient wiU be refunded. After
August 24, the payment wiU not be
refunded.”
Dr. Burt then Jisted the follow
ing procedure to be foUowed for
advance registration:
Fall schedules wiU be available
from the departments and the
switchboard on April 29.
Students should determine a ten
tative selection of courses for the
summer and - or fall terms.
Students wiU meet with advisors
on Tuesday, May 10, to receive
final instructions and complete the
required forms.
Advisors wiU turn in summer
school and - or fall registrations
according to the following sched

average for the previous semes
ter. This provision is made in the
constitution of the Cooperative As
sociation.
