Students Express
Tweetie’s Snafu
By SUE BRAXNAN
Results of the poll taken on
Tweetie’s and the library were
compiled by Jim Van Camp and
presented to the Executive Board
Oct. 24. Van Camp said he felt
the poll was a valid one, having
been taken in a serious manner
by the students, and therefore re
vealing their true feelings and
op ins.
Purpose of the poll on Tweetie’s
was to learn the opinions of the
students concerning the price
range and sanitary conditions of
the establishment. Of the 655 par
ticipants in the poU, 570 have eat
en in Tweetie’s at one time or
another; 41 have not. One hun
dred and twenty - four said they
feel the food is adequate for the
prices charged, while 440 feel it
is not. Sanitary conditions were
graded excellent by 25 students,
satisfactory by 181, and unsatis
factory by 373. It is the opinion of
25 that nothing constructive can
be done to improve conditions in
Tweetie’s; 113 are undecided; 443
feel that improvements can be
made.
These figures express a dissatis
faction with conditions in Tweet
ie’s on the part of the majority of
the students, verifying the opinion
of the Executive Board. Various
sides to the picture were express
ed in comments made by students,
but these comments can be sum
med up by saying there is general
discontent.
More complaints were made
about sanitary conditions than
alx)ut prices or service. Many said
the sanitation grade should be
improved, and many felt prices
were too high for the quality of
the food. Opinions were expressed
that Tweetie “has a monopoly of
business,” operating with a “cap
tive audience,” consequently be
ing able to maintain low standards.
On the other hand, many stu
dents feel since Tweetie’s is a pri
vate business, nothing can be done
about the way it is operated.
Some feel prices in the school
cafeteria should be considered be
fore comiplaints are made against
a private enterprise.
One student said; “I feel if a
man tries to run a business around
a school, he should charge what
he pleases compared to the horse
play he has to put up with.” Ano
ther felt that “undue criticism has
come forward — We should be a
little less critical and more under
standing.” It was expressed that
if a person doesn’t like the condii-

Miller Band To Play
At Co-op, IFC Dance
The magnificent music of Glen
Miller’s famous orchestra will be
free to the student body at the big
Cooperative Association-IFC spon
sored dance next Wednesday at 8
p.m.
The place: the smooth and so
lid floor of the Recreation Center
gymnasium.
The dance, which will go strong
up to midnight, will be semiformal,
Jim Van Camp, IFC president, an
nounced this week.
Only students, faculty members
and ACC administrators and their
guests will be admitted. For night
students the cost will be $1.
Glen Miller’s dance band will be
under the direction of Ray McKin
ley. And the combination of Mil
ler’s music and McKinley’s speci
al talent is nothing new. It goes
back almost 25 years — to that
time when Miller was starting out
as a young arranger and trombon
ist with the Ben Pollock band in
Chicago and met Pollack’s young
drummer Ray McKinley. The
friendship was quickly formed and
remained fast during the years.
When Miller formed his own band,
McKinley came along as drummer.
Then, in World War II, when Ma
jor Miller was lost in action, Ray
took over the reins.
Featured with the MiUer band is
the top sax man and jazz artist
Lenny Hambro. Hambro wiU be
featured in special numbers with
his jazz quintet.
Special permission for the late
hours will be extended to all wo
men students. They will be due
back in the dorm at 12:15 a.m.

Board Supports
Sit-In Resolution
By TERRILL RILEY
Collegiate Co-Editor
The Executive Board of the Cooperative Association
of Atlantic Christian College went on record this week aa
supporters of desegrepfation, primarily to encourage
peaceful demonstrations of the sit-in movement.
At the National Student Congress of American Col
leges and Universities held last August, a resolution was
adopted by 90% of the student leaders attending. A letter
was received by the Executive Board at Atlantic Christian
from the National Student Association asking this school
to take action in compliance with the desegregation resolu
tion.
David Smith and Zerelda Wal
ston, who represented ACC at the
NSC meeting, reported to the
board that they voted for the
resolution. Smith explained to the
executive leaders, “Since wc are
active members of the National
Student Association, the resolu
tion demands that we make known
our approval or disapproval.”
Smith went on to say,“if we ap
prove the adopted resolution as a
NSA member, then we must pledge
ourselves to encourage desegra-
tion, specifically the ‘sit-in move
ment’.” “If we do not want to
comply with the resolution,” the
executive leader emphasized, “we

world community of mutual trust,”
Nishihara emphasizes.

nitude as he surveys his dynasty
and his subjects around him.

site BosweU in the leading female

should withdraw our membership
from the NSA!”
Much debate and discussion fol
lowed: the board wanted to be
clear in understanding whether
action taken would be the action
of the executive group or the ac
tion and feeling of the entire stu
dent body.
In a final analysis, the leaders
agreed that what was voted on
by the executive board would
stand as the voice and decision of
the students of Atlantic Christian
unless officially protested by the
student body.
Protest to any action or decision
made by the representing board is
provided for in the constitution. A
student-assembly vote must be tak
en on the action-in-question if pe
titioned for by 20 members of the
cooperative association.
Ending considerable discussion,
the board voted to send letters on
behalf of the Executive Board to
encourage various restaurants and
public services to desegregate. In
cluded in the agreement was that
the executive board would write
letters of encouragement to those
who have participated in peaceful
sit-in demonstrations and have been
arrested for their actions. With one
abstension, the Executive Board
voted to write the letters a week
after the board approved the ac
tion.
This imeans, unless protested,
the Executive Board voices the in
tention of the student body at At
lantic Christian to uphold the NSA
resolution to S'upport desegrega
tion.
Next Monday letters will be writ
ten in behalf of the student-body,
complying with the national reso
lution on desegration, unless caU
for a campus-wide vote on the de
cision is made.
Finishing the item, of business,
the board encouraged the student-
body to read the minutes of exe
cutive meetings. Minutes are post
ed on the campus bulletin board
weekly.
The unusually long business ses
sion centered its attention on a re
port from the Intramural and Ath
letic Fees Investigation Commit
tee.
The committee was selected to
investigate the disbursement of $16
which every S’tudent pays as a
student activities fee.
Bette Pomphrey, chairman of
the committee, introduced Mr. Mil
ton, Adms, Business Manager of
ACC, and Eld Cloyd, instruc
tor in the Physical Education De
partment. Adams and Cloyd were
invited to the board meeting to

Women’s Dorm Sets
Open House Sunday
Caldwell Hall wiU hold an
Open House this Sunday. From
4 to 6 p.m., the entire dorm
will be open to the faculty, stu
dents, and their friends. Re
freshments will be served in the
parlor, and a Halloween theme
will be used in the decoration
scheme.
The Open House will give some
of the male ex-inhabitants a
chance to see if they recognize
the face-lifted building.
Has Caldwell Hall made a
comeback, after the boys so will
ingly cast themselves out for the
new Hackney Hall, leaving it
forsaken and an outcast? Many
of the girls it now houses feel it
has. Although some of the seams
may still sag, they look upon it
not as a bedraggled hag of a
building, but as one with char
acter established by years of life
within its walls. Everyone is in
vited to see its outward counte
nance, but perception of its char
acter would require having lived
in Caldwell.
