NUMBER ONE
Wenger Issues Welcome
To Old, New Students
It is a genuine pleasure to extend a hearty wel
come to all those who comprise our academic com
munity here at Atlantic Christian College this year.
The return of former students makes our campus
seem like “home” once again; the presence of so
many new students has brought new zest and enthus
iasm to our campus.
I am certain that we are crossing the threshold
of a significant and successful year, one in which
there will be a genuine and wide-spread fulfillment
of our objectives here at Atlantic Christian College.
In this hope, I extend to each of you my sincere best
wishes for a truly fine year.

First Atlantic Christian
Grad Honored By Paraguay
Dr. C. Manly Morton, first male
graduate of Atlantic Christian Col
lege, was recently decorated by
the Paraguayan Government with
the National Order of Merit—high-
bestow upon anyone, and one sel-
est honor the government can
dom bestowed upon a foreigner.
In 1920, Morton established Col-
egio International (International
College) in the city of Asuncion.
Paraguay. During its 40 years of
College did in giving me a start

existance it has grown into one of
the leading Evangelical schools in
South America, and has exerted
a tremendous influence on the
whole educational program of
Paraguay. Many of the leading
business, professional, and politi
cal leaders of the nation are
among its graduates.
In April of this year, Colegio In
ternational celebrated its Fortieth
Anniversary. Mr. and Mrs. Mor
ton, together with the three Di
rectors of the school who have
followed him during that forty
year period, were invited to return
to Asuncion, as special guests of
the Alumni Association.
During twelve day^ spent at
Asuncion, many special honors
were bestowed upon the visitors.
The greatest of which was the Re
ception in the National Capital,
and conferring of the Decoration
of the National Order of Merit.
From Paraguay, the Mortons
went on to Buenos Aires, Argen
tina, the place where they began
their missionary service 44 years
ago.
Students and faculty members of
Atlantic Christian College have
met and conversed with Dr. Mor
ton on v a r i ou s oocasions over
the years. Dr. Morton will be re
membered for a long time by
many of the upper classmen who
had an opportunity to hear him
speak during last year’s pre-Rell-
gious Emphasis Week.
Dr. Morton writes to many of
his friends on the Atlantic Chris
tian College Campus, “The recent
trip to Asuncion and Buenos Aires,
was the most thrilling experience
of my life. I never expected such
honors. And when they came I
could not take them as a person
al tribute, but rather as a tribute
to the fine work Atlantic Christian
planned appearance has not been
determined, it has been decided
he will arrive here about noon to
spend an hour and one - half shak
ing hands and making a speech.
Following his Wilson visit, Tru
man will travel to other Tar Heel
towns and cities including Nash
ville. At Nashville he will parti
cipate in annual Harvest Festival
activities. From tliere he is sched
uled to go to Rocky Mount where
he will board a plane to Virginia.
David Smith, President of the
Cooperative Association, said upon
hearing of Truman’s visit, “This
occasion will give every student
at ACC an opportunity to hear one
of our former presidents. Although
some may disagree with him po
litically, every student should
make an effort to hear Mr. Tru
man speak.”

Nixon Leads Poll
Of Student Heads
Student Body Presidents who
had registered to attend the Con
ference of Student Body Presidents
at the Convention of the National
Student Association in Minneapolis,
and the presidents of the student
bodies of various “key” univer
sities, were recently polled to de
termine their preference for Presi
dent of the United States.
On the basis of a 35 per cent
return of the questionnaire, as we
the Collegiate go to press, the re
sults indicate the folloiwing.

Kennedy 35.2 per cent
Undecided 6.0 per cent
Atlantic Christian College was
represented at the August con
vention in Minneapolis by David
Smith, President of the Coopera
tive Association; Zarelda Wals
ton, Secretary; and Bette Pom-
frey. Treasurer.
The Executive Board of the Cooperative Association began a study Monda^ of
the conditions reported to exist at Tweetie’s Snack Shop, an establishment adjacent to
the college campus.
After hearing numerous complaints on prices, sanitary conditions, and food qual
ity, it was suggested that Dave Smith, president of the Cooperative Association, visit
the establishment and convey the student complaints.
A motion was made to this effect, then tabled and referred to further study.
^ ♦Tweetie’s Snack Shop carries a
state sanitation rating of “B”.
Students have complained that
prices have recently been raised.
In further business, James Van
Camp, President of the Junior
Class, requested that the Exeucu-
tive Board recommend to the At
lantic Christian College Library
that it be open between two and
six p. m. on Sundays.
Van Camp told the board that
he believed that such a request
was in the best interest of many
students. In supporting his argu
ment, the class president said
that many students work Friday
afternoon and Saturday which
leaves no time for work in the
library. “Atlantic Christian Col
lege is ever trying to foster
scholastic attainment which helps
the student achieve his scholastic
potential,” Van Camp averred.
The executive officers moved to
send a recommendation from the
Executive Board of the Coopera
tive Association to the College
Librarian requesting that the
Library be open on Sunday be
tween two and six p. m.
As he presided over the gov
ernment meeting, the president of
the board recommended that a
committee on committees be es
tablished to look into the possibi
lities of other comittees, needed
to accomplish various tasks. Ac
cording to Smith, the committee
would serve in an effort to recom
mend Atlantic Christian College
students for various positions to
organizations on campus.
The recommendation was ac
cepted and Franklyn Brooks was
appointed Chairman of the new
committee with Zarelda Walston
and Tom Norvel serving with him.
Kennedy Bryan, the vice presi
dent of the Executive Board, ac
cepted the chairmanship for this
year’s budget committee. The
committee’s duties were designat
ed by the board to prepare the
annual budgets of the various or
ganizations supported through the
Association of student - faculty
government. Serving with Bryan,
will be Bette Pomfrey, Pete War
ren, Director of Guidance and
Student Life, and Dr. William
Troutman.
Prior to the adjournment of the
executive meeting, Zarelda Wals
ton, Secretary of the Cooperative
Association, was instructed to send
notices to each faculty commitee
chairman to notify them of the
budget committee’s readiness to
consider budget proposals.
Caldwell T ransf ormed
With $18,000 Outlay
At the closing of the 1960 spring
semester, women students of At
lantic Christian College were
promised by Mass Sarah Bain
Ward, Dean of Women, that Cald
well Hall would be renovated dur
ing the summer to serve as a
women’s dormitory. That promise
has been faithfully kept.
Milton Adams, business manag
er, states that approximately $12,-
000 was spent on furniture which
is completely new. Every woman
has personal access to a dresser,
a desk, and a bed. Large built-in
closets with adequate shelf space
are provided.
The rooms are painted a cool
shade of green which lends a plea
sant atmosphere conducive to stu
dy. Bathroom fixtures have been
repaired, as well as doors, win
dows, and floors. Upon their return
to campus this fall, students com
mented that Caldwell HaU, even
from the outside, has a “new
look.” Beside the cost of furni
ture, approximately $6,000 was
spent for other necessitives, in
cluding Venetian blinds, and for
outside repairs. The Georgian style
door frame erected around the
back door and wrought iron rail
ing make an attractive rear en
trance.
Women of Caldwell Hall receive
messages by means of an inter
communication system. Telephones
are located on each floor and op
erated through the receptionist’s
desk in the parlor.
Caldwell’s three stories houses
.58 women: 17 sophomores, 23 jun
iors, and 18 seniors.
Mrs. Miley Johnson, housemoth
er, is beginning her third year’s
work at Atlantic Christian CoUege.
Her first year was spent at tiie
Phi Sigma Tau sorority house
on Gold Street and her second at
Rountree House, which is no long
er in use.
Mrs. Johnson comments, “I am
still happy in my work, and I am
pleased with the new building. I
am looking forward to a very suc
cessful year with the women here
at Caldwell.”
The parlor and Mrs. Johnson’s
apartment have been refinished in
attractive sandalwood. Remodeling
of the parlor, including all new
furnishings, is expected to be com
pleted by the first of the year.
Caldwell HaU, the oldest build
ing on campus, was erected in 1911.
Since that time it has served as
an administration building, the
headquarters of the Science De
partment, and as a men’s dormi
tory.
