Circle ‘K’ Club
Holds its First
Meeting Of Year
On Tuesday, Oct. 3, the Circle
“K” Club of Atlantic Christian Col
lege held its first official meeting
of the year. The president, Jim
Trader, called the meeting to or
der. Guy Miller gave the treasur
er’s report. President Trader then
welcomed seven new members in
to the club, and explained to them
what Circle “K” is and stands
for.
Plans for various projects on
campus were announced, and then
discussed by the men. In the near
zation will begin the work of
rejuvenating the old house next
door to Tweetie’s. The building is
to be used by various organiza
tions on campus as a meeting
place.
Tom Pippin suggested the possi
bility of Circle “K” sponsoring a
dance at some time during the
school year. He was appointed
chairman of a committee to in
vestigate such possibilities.
President Trader then presented
an idea for a Circle “K” Week dur
ing which traffic safety would be
the main emphasis. Outside speak-
address the student body on the
subject of safe driving. It was
pointed out that help would be
available from the highway pa
trol, the local police force, and the
Kiwanis Club, for such a project.
No action has been taken on this
suggestion yet, however.
The club will meet each Tues
day evening at 7 o’clock for the
next two weeks, and then wiU go
on a schedule of meeting every oth
er Tuesday at the same time. At
present, the club seems only to be
lacking in one area — it needs a
faculty advisor!
Young Democrats
Now Organizing
Plans are now being made to
organize a Young Democrats Club
which will endeavor to inform the
student body of the principles and
programs of the Democratic Par
ty and to develop young leadership
for the government of the future.
Credit for the formation of the
club lies mainly with the unified
efforts of Bill Bardin, San
dra Freedman, and Aileen Clark
who are now laying preliminary
contacting potential members.
Mr. Bardin stated that it is tenta
tively planned that the campus
YDC will become a part of Wil
son County unit of the Young
Democrats Club, and later, after
the club is firmly established, that
they hope to join the state organi
zation. An effort is being made,
Mr. Bardin reported, to have Dew
ey Sheffield, state organizer for
YDC, attend the first organization
al meetiing to be held sometime
this week.
Miss Freedman, also day student
representative on the Executive
Board of the Cooperative Associa
tion, commenting on the aims and
goals of the club said: “We plan
to organize a Young Democrats
Club that will be constantly active
and informed in local, state, and
national political affairs. Our im
mediate goal is to make the stu
dent body of ACC more aware of
the political processes in govern
ment.”
Miss Clark expressed the hope
that all Democrats on campu.s
would rally to supplort the club
by active participation in an or
ganization designed to give stu
dents and young citizens a more
active voice in their countrygov-
ernmept.
Dr. William F. Troutman, chair
man of the Political Science De
partment, and Mr. Parker Wilson,
professor of the history de
partment, have been asked to be
sponsors.
All persons interested in joining
the club or obtaining more infor
mation are invited to contact the
above mentioned persons who will
gladly furnish further details.

Atlantic Christian College may
not be the richest institution of
higher learning, but it seems as
though the students here are rich
enough to afford to throw things
on the grounds and pay someone
else to come along and pick them
up.
