Van Camp Makes Motion
Board Kills Grade Average Drop
By GUY MILLER
The proposal concerning grade
averages of Cooperative Associa
tion presidents was killed at the
Executive Board meeting Monday
night.
The proposal, calling for lower
ing the scholastic requirement for
the office of president of the Co
operative Association from the
present 1.5 average to a 1.2 aver
age, had been presented to the
Board at its meeting February 20.
It was decided at that time to table
the motion for one week.
At the meeting Monday night at
tended by five visiting student ob
servers, board chairman, Dave
Smith, called for the motion to be
untabled. Board member James
VanCamp proposed the motion be
tabled indefinitely. Dr. Troutman,
parliamentarian, said the action
meant killing the motion.
VanCamp’s motion passed.
There was no discussion on the
motion.
Following the vote. Dr. Trout
man said he realized that Van-
Camp was the person who h a d
been in mind when the original
proposal had been presented and
that the fact he had taken this step
indicates him to be one who has a
sense of values and has put the
school’s values before his own de
sires. According to Troutman, this
certainly must have been a diffi
cult decision for Van Camp to
make.
Smith expressed the hope that
VanCamp will be able to serve on
the board next year and offer his
great leadership ability to that gov
erning body.
The Board decided to request
from the Administrative Council a
ruling as to whether the handling
of the Bohunk Bucket is a student
affair. Smith said he felt the Buck
et should remain in the hands of
the students.
If the council decides that such
is a student affair, a committee
of the Executive Board is sched
uled to confer with the student
body president of East Carolina
and formulate a policy to be fol
lowed in the future.
Disappearance of the student
government organization chart
from the Cooperative Association’s
office door in the Bohunk came up
for discussion again. Ken Bryan,
fice-president, said he considers
this a serious matter.
Smith stated that “a lot of ef
fort went into the planning and
make-up of the chart. If it is not
recovered, someone will have to
do the job again.” He added that
the Board is not particularly angry
about it, but is disturbed that
someone would do such a thing for
no apparently good reason.
An earnest request is made by
the Board that the chart be re
turned.
Among other items of business,
the Board alloted $20 to the cheer
leaders for transportation to the
recent North State basketball
tournament at Lexington and ac
cepted the constitution of WACR
as amended by the Executive
Board.
The Board held a special called
meeting on February 23 to recon
sider previous refusals of a SNEA
appropriation. At this meeting, the
Board decided to allocate $100 to
the SNEA for the purpose of send
ing delegates to the SNEA conven
tion.
Twice previously, the Board had
refused an appropriation to this or
ganization. It was felt the Board
did not have the money to spare
and, in addition, the organization
is autonomous and not under the
Executive Board’s jurisdiction.
Also, it had been pointed out, the
group does not represent the en
tire student body.
At the February 23 meetmg,
Pete Warren asked the Board for
a reconsideration. He pointed out
that a refusal now would break a
ten-year tradition of the Board. In
Mr. Warren’s opinion, if the Board
was going to stop the policy, it
should have given the organization

some advance warning. It seems
the SNEA expected the Board to
give it help, so had not made other
arrangements for raising the need
ed funds. The organization, it was
pointed out, does not have time to
secure the funds from any other
source at this date.
In view of such conditions, the
Board reversed its former de
cisions and gave the SNEA $100 of
the originally reque.stcd $150.

vice president; Jo Ann Boone, a
senior from Wilson, secretary;
Sandra Modlin, a senior from Wil

equipment manager.
Since the beginning of Spring
semester, at which time Dr. Leh
man took over as band director,
the organization has increased in

many man hours to spruce up their
less than desirable practice quar
ters. All music has been cataloged.

Johnny McBride has been elect

Jean Bazemore was chosen by
the group as secretary. Alton Lee,
nominated for the position of chair

David Smith, President of the

give a run down on what the exec
board had done the night before.
The Presidents’ council will then
comment and act on matters mak

However, the group will be with
out voting power.
Smith said he was a bit ashamed
of some of the organization presi
dents on campus who had failed to
respond to the idea and at least
give it a try. He felt the council
had at least a “50-50” chance of
working if the presidents would
show some interest.
Newly elected chairman Mc
Bride urged members to get other
organization presidents to attend
future meetings.
NUMBER SEVENTEEN
ACC Cagers Clip
Top Teams, Gain
Second Position
Pullinp: off a coup thut on
ly a few people thouf?ht pos
sible, the battling Bulldogs
of Atlantic Christian College
whipped first and third seed
ed teams but lost to High
Point College to gain runner-
up in the North State Con
ference Tournament in Lex
ington a week ago.
The Bulldogs, Coach Jack Mc-
Comas and the team managers
will receive a glimpse of the deep
admiration of Bulldog fans Mon
day night at a banquet honoring
them.
The Century Club, an organiza
tion of adult Bulldog boosters, is
sponsoring the banquet which be
gins at 6:30 p.m. at Parker’s Bar
becue on U. S. Highway 301 South
of Wilson. Members of the College
administration and faculty have
been invited to attend the dutch
affair.
In the tournament the McComas-
men downed East Carolina College
in their first game 72-71 on a last
second tap by big Dale Fillingame.
The following night, Friday, num
ber one seeded Lenoir Rhyne was
eliminated 66-48. In the finals ACC
bowed to a strong High Point
squad 88-73 despite their good play.
Winning the hearts of tournament
fans and sports writers from all
over Carolina, the BuUdogs were
termed the “Tournament Darlings”
by many scribes.
The tournament highlighted many
Bulldogs stars. Jerry Fritz, for ex
ample, was runner-up for the most
valuable player honors and led
the team with a 21 point per game
average, scoring 63 points against
the three teams ACC faced. He
scored 23 points in the losing cause
against High Point.
Jack Boyd, ACC’s all-conference
guard, was close behind with 59
points for three games and must
also be cited for a good share of
the honors.
Perhaps one of the most excit
ing and important tourney per
formances was turned in by lanky
senior BiU Shouldice. He kept the
Bulldogs alive in the first half of
the ECC game and finished with
a strong 14 points. Against Lenoir
Rhyne his second half shooting
pulled the Bears outside and opened
up the lane for E^itz, Atkinson and
Boyd.
Others were impressive too. Dale
Fillingame began to take on more
poise and grace in the tourney, it
seemed, and promises to be a
future Bulldog standout. Tommy
Parham accomplished the same
feat as Shouldice — keeping ECC
outside and opening up the lane
for the top Bulldog scorers — in the
first tournament game, ^bby At
kinson, Terry Harris, and Ernie
Oden all played with obvious de
termination and poise in the tight
places.
It was a team victory. It gave
the Bulldogs the pleasure of whip
ping the tournament favorites and
in the face of some tough calls by
referees the cagers played the
game with restraint and never
quit.
