fall paly for the 1961-1962 season;
“Twelfth Night,” by William
Shakespeare, will be presented in
Howard Chapel on Wednesday and

Miss Walker, Miss ‘Colvard, and

“Death of the Hired Man,”
oy Robert Frost.) Miss Weddle re-

^“sence, while Mr. Wood, Mr.
'Jibbs, and Mr. Wilson, having act
ed in and around Wilson, make
their debut in an Atlantic Chns-
tian College play. “Twelfth Night
promises to return long-absent ta
lent and to reveal new talent
that perhaps should not have re
mained hidden. The remaimng
cast includes Paul Wilson as Val
entine, Rex Horn as Sebastian,
Happy Hodges as Antonio, Bruce
Turner as Feste, Jo Ann Boone
as Fabian, Bobby Royal as the
Priest Randy Ratteree and Jay

“Twelfth Night” has proved to be
one of the most entertaimng of
Shakespeare’s comedies,
ing audiences for generations. The
Quick wit of Viola, the songs of
Feste the piety of Malvolio, the

Unusual Message
Douglas E. Ledbetter, a sopho
more from Atlanta Ga., received
the following telegram from his
parents this week:
HAVE YOU BROKE YOUR
HAND OR GIVE X3 U T OF
STAMPS?
Because of the increase in pros
perity in this country, and because
of Nikita and Fidel and Jackie’s
clothes, there has been a sizable
increase in the number of services
and messages handled by wire
services.
The wire service is undoubtedly
interested in making a profit from
parents of Atlantic Christian Col
lege students who have not writ
ten home in, say a month.
It would appear, however, that
those of you who have managed
to stay out of the armed services
would feel some patriotic duty to
keep aU lines of communication
open to those who are not so lucky
and to those who influence the
situations that got everybody in
ducted in the first place.
In cooperation with our effort to
get everybody to write home
this week, the United States Post
Office is offering stamps which
regularly sell for 48 cents per doz
en at a bargain rate of 24 cents
per half dozen. Take advantage of
this offer and write now. The em
barrassment you save wiU definite
ly be your own.
Secretarial office assistance for
the Executive Board was asked for
by the board at its meeting on
Sept. 25.
Bob Bishop, Cooperative Associa
tion vice president, submitted a
proposal calling for the estab
lishment of a Cooperative Associ
ation sectariat. The proposal was
approved by the -board with a
unanimous vote.
According to the proposal, the
secretaries of the four classes are
asked to assist with the secretari
al work and duties pertaining to
the Executive Board. It is antici
pated they will set up a working
schedule to be in the Executive
Board office from 1 to 5 p.m. Mon
day through Thursday.
With the acquisition of the new
Executive Board office and a wid
ening scope of student government
affairs, it is felt that a need exists
for an additional secretarial staff
to assist in administrative founc-
tions of the Cooperative Associa
tion.
There will be a Peace Corps con
ference in Washington on Oct. 20
and 21. An official letter inviting
Atlantic Christian to send dele
gates to the conference has been
received from vice President Lyn
don B. Johnson, chairman of the
Peace Corps.
The purpose of the conference
is to inform administrative per
sonnel, faculty and students of in
stitutions of higher learning of the
nature and purpose of the Peace
Corps. The conference will be con
ducted along the lines of small, in
formal discussion groups.
It is planned that D. L. Warren,
director of student life, will rep
resent the administration at the
conference and AA^illiam Troutman
will represent the faculty. Yet to
Presidents Hold
Meeting Tuesday
The first meeting of the- presi
dents’ council was held in the
Chapel Tuesday, Sept. 26 at 2:30
p.m. Bob Bishop, vice president of
the Cooperative Association, pre
sided.
Mr. Bishop explained the func
tions of the council and asked
for discussion of these. The council
is to be a sounding board for stu
dent opinions of Executive Board
legislation, a suggestion panel for
legislation and a coordinating body
for campus activities. Mr. Bishop
acts as a representative- - at -large
from the Executive Board to the
council, which is composed of the
heads of most student activities.
The group discussed current leg
islation and voiced opinions on
various issuos. After announce
ments. the council selected 2:30
p.m. each Thursday in the recrea
tion room of Harper Hall for regu-
lar meetings.

j officers are seen reflecting strong
I enthusiasm in this year’s class, nie
i class officer potential is excellent
j and comi>etition is keen.

■ viewed and a genuhie interest and
; alertness was found,
j Virginia Wright .'Mh-n, 18, a
I graduaet of Farmville High School

the small sehodl benefits and the
wide range this college offers in
her major Christian Education.
VV'hen asked what she fi'lt the ma
jor problem of a Freshman student
was, she replii'<i: “Social adjust
ment and breaking the ties with
home - beeomnig an adult.” (Jina
feels that the 1961 Freshman Class
has a great challenge liere at At
lantic Christian and must work
hard to lay a foundation for definite
goals in facing the current world
problems.
Sheila Lerlene Scott, 18, a grad
uate of Elizabeth City High School
has entered Atlantic Christian to
pursue a church vocation. Sheila
is highly impressed by the friend
liness of this year’s class. She
finds the greatest problem facing
a Freshman student to be the
ability to relax around other stu

responsive to others and social ad
justment will be easy is Sheila’s
answer to the problem.

learning to live with his fellow

are essential to first year college
success. Learn to budget your
time and money wisely; be aware
of the world around you, its prob
lems and relationships to you and
your college.

class is doing an excellent job of
settling down to campus life.

Havelock High School is in accord
with Bill Dardin and chose ACC
