Miller Clan Set
Les Elgart has cancelled his orchestra’s eneraere-
ment to play for the COOP-IFC dance Nov. 2.
His reason: “Not enough money.”
In turn, the Executive Board of the Cooperative
Association has engaged the famous Glen Miller orches
tra — at a price lower than originally contracted with
Elgart.
“Les Elgart will never be issued an invitation to
play here again as long as I’m on campus,” Smith said
in response to the cancellation.
“Glen Miller’s orchestra was not a second choice
anyway,” Smith said.
“Everybody’s happy with the new contract, I feel,”
he concluded.

Old Classrooms, Offices
Brightened By New Faces

new attractions among the facul

some of the best were lost ap
parently some of the best have
been gained in this new group.
The English department has
added William N. Harrison, a tall,
friendly Texan. He has already
gained an excellent reputation in
his freshman English classes (ex
cept for pop tests). His hobby
is writing and he is presently at
work on a novel. Harrison is mar
ried to Merlee Kimsey Harrison
and they have tv/o children.
D. L. “Pete” Warren from Kin
ston has become well known
among many students, especially
the freshmen because of his work
during freshman orientation week.
Warren is the new Director of
Student Life. His wife, Patsy, is
enrolled as a member of the
freshman class. They have two
little girls.
In the Education and Psycholo
gy department James L. Barden,

won many st'idents with his ready
wit. Mrs. Pauline Jones, a fast
taling redhead from Kentucky, has
also been added to that depart

Big Blast
Is Planned
February 11
Plans are being made for one
of the biggest, brightest, ring-tail-
tootenist homecomings ever wit
nessed at Atlantic Christian Col
lege, according to James Daniel,
Director of Alumni Activities and
Student Recruitment.
The big day is February 11,
1961.
The steering committee met this
week to make a tentative sche
dule of events.
There’s going to be a big parade
in downtown Wilson, for one thing,
playin’, horn blowing’, pretty
girls, crepe paper, and confetti.
Also, a semi-formal dance is be
ing planned at which the Home
coming Queen will be crowned
from the student body.
Other events will be the sorority
and fraternity luncheons honoring
alumni and students, class reunion
luncheons, the big alumni dinner,
unveiling of plaques on the Science
Hall, the now men’s domitory and
the infirmary, and a big open
house all over the campus.
Perhaps the biggest event of all
is the Atlantic Christian-Pfeiffer
basketball game on Saturday night
of the homecoming weekend. A
big bonfire is planned for that
night and you can bet that aim
mater, the fight song, victory danc
es and war chants will fiU the air
as the student body gets ready to
cheer its team on to victory.
Members of the steering commit
tee who are laying the goundwork
for homecoming activities are.Jam
es Daniel!chairman, Edward Beel
er, Allan R. Sharp, Foy N. Go

Cuts Now Eight
Tweetie, Library
Polls Win Yeas
Tweetie’s notorious snack shop, the library and an ob
scure article pertaining to the number of cheerleaders at
ACC were under discussion this week at the meeting of
the Executive Board.
As for Tweetie and the library: a poll.
Hoping for an expression of pub
lic opinion on these widely dis
cussed matters, president Dave
Smith appointed Jim Van Camp
chairman of a ]poll committee.
Van Camp wiU formulate perti
nent questions and distribute poll
sheets among students.
In action last week, the Execu
tive Board voted to look into mat
ters pertaining to food service, san
itation, and prices at Tweetie’s
snack shop. Tweetie’s is adjacent
to the campus and one of the few
eating places available in the vi
cinity.
Some faculty and students were
said to have apologized to Tweetie
(Mr. Etheridge) for rumblings of
discontent in the Executive Board
reported on the pages of this pa
per.
“As for the executive board,”
Smith said, “I don’t feel that any
one owes an apology for us. We
certainly acted within our juris
diction,”
In spite of a motion to table
the matter of the snack shop dur
ing the last meeting, Smith visited
Etheridge during the week for a
talk.
The conversation brought these
results:
It was Tweetie’s idea that there
are “only about 11 students against
me over there,” Smith told the Col
legiate. He said they had always
been personally antagonistic and
were the real troublemakers.
Smith asked if he would wel
come a poll of the student body
on the matter.
Tweetie said he would, it was
reported.
“I’m sure the student body would
decided in my favor — that these
are unjust accusations,” Tweetie
reportedly said.
Smith expressed his feeling that
students would judge the snack
shop pretty severely.
So the ix)U wiU decide.
In other action, the newly re
vamped constitution of the Coope
rative Association was brought un
der fire. Head Cheerleader Eliza
beth Winborne expressed disap
proval of the sentence in Article
II which read that “six addi
tional cheerleaders will be elected
by the Cooperative Association on
or about October 1.” Nancy Rob
erson, in supporting Miss Win
borne, said in previous years eight
cheerleaders plus one were al
ways elected. General consensus
was that the sentence was a mis
print.
Mr. Van Camp recommended an
amendment to Article XII which
amendment to Article XII which
would make it read: “. . . addi
tional cheerleaders” instead of
“six additional cheerleaders.”
It was explained the clause
should read this way because the
need for more or less cheerlead
ers may be needed in the future.
The proposed amendment was slat
ed to be brought before the entire
student body at its next assembly.
Tlie subject of chapel cuts was
raised before the board. Millard
P. Burt, Dean of the College, who
met with the executive leaders, an
nounced there would be eight
chapel cuts allowed each semest
er. Dr. Burt said the provision
was subject to change by the ad
ministration.
Franklin Brooks, chairman of
the Committee on committees pre
sented the following names to
serve for the current year: So
cial Affairs Committee, Bob Mat
thews, chairman, J'udy Barnes,
Bob Bishop, Elizabeth Harris and
Miss Sarah Ward; Assembly and
Concert Committee, Louise Wells,
Chairman, Margaret Walker, Lin
da Cale, Douglas Ouzts and Gene
Featherstone; Bohunk Governing
Board, Pat BeJangia, chairman,
Richard Clayton, Howard Batts,
Judy Gray, Henry Tyson, Judy
Bailey and Miss Jessie Daniel.
Bill Alexander is acting chairman
of the memorial committee.
Commenting on the Executive
Board meeting, Dr. Arthur Weng
er, ACC President, said it w a s
the “most refreshing meeting that
I’ve seen in a long time and has
been very ably conducted.”
