The Executive Board held its
fall leadership dinner at the Wil
sonian Restaurant on Monday, Nov.
20. After the meal Jeff Adams,
president of the board called the
meeting to order and the agenda
was presented.
The first topic of the evening
covered the point system commit
tee this report presented pro
cedures that an individual must
take in order to carry an excess
of 30 activity points. Said individ
ual must formally petition the
board and present a list of all
campus activities and proof of a
scholastic average of at least 1.5
then the board will commence to
consider each individual request.
During the course of the meet
ing sever,al attempts were made to
revise the present system — an in
crease of scholastic minimum re-
suirements of 2.0 even went to
vote and passed; however this was
defeated later on in the formal
amendment vote. This subject
closed with the present system
held in force. FoUoKving the point
system a tally of IFC dance tickets
was read and procedure for fur
ther s,ales announced.
The Wilson City manager has
agreed to meet with a committee
to discuss the speeding and traf
fic problem aroimd the campus
and possible situating of additional
traffic lights.
The final agenda item was the
NSA conference in Greensboro the
first week of December. Steve
Everett and Jim Van Camp will
represent ACC student Govern
ment Association. Also discussed
was the program for the regional
conference to be held at Atlantic
Christian the same week, the
theme of this program is “The
Emerging Nations of Africa and
South America.”, during this same
program the Campus Awareness
Committee will show the fUm “Op
eration Abolition.”
PRACTICE TEACHERS
All students who plan to practice
teach during the Spring Semester
are urged to contact Mr. Gene
Purvis in the Education Depart
ment as soon as possible, prefera-
Wy by the end of the first week in
December.
Those fortunate and concerned
enough to have attended a meeting
sponsored by the Campus Aware
ness Committe on Nov. 16, should
have clearly in mind the distinc
tion between a liberal and a con
servative.
Dr. William Troutman spoke on
and discussed the topic “What is
a liberal?”
Dr. Troutman gave two criteria
or guides by which a person in any
,age may be evaluated as a liberal
or a conservative.
First, according to the speaker,
is the attitude of the two schools
toward freedom — a responsible
and moral freedom. The liberal
says that such freedom is up to the
individual and that the individual
should decide upon his own rights.
The conservative believes individ
uals should submit to the better
knowledge and ability of their su
periors.
In a second place, a liberal and
conservative may be distinguished
by their attitude toward change
or the status quo. In Dr. Trout
man’s mind, a liberal assumes
that the status quo is a product of
selfishness and believes that
change is a way to bring about a
relative amount of justice and feee-
dom. According to this point of
vew, one must even be w^ng to
give up certain present freedoms
in order that rights and freedoms
of others may be realized.
In contrast to this, the conserva
tive feels that change is 'bound to
lead to trouble. He feels, Dr. Trout
man continued, a great respect for
tradition and thinks it dangerous
to monkey with it. To the conser
vative, selfishness is expressed by
change. . t *
Dr Troutman stressed the fact
that this differontation in points of
views concerning freedom does not
mean that one side seeks freedom
and the other does not. The main
distinction is the outlook of man-—
whether man is able to govern and
rule himself. . , ,
The group of approximately 30
people who attended this discussion
met first in Howard Chapel. Be
cause of the relatively small num^
ber in attendance, it was decided
to move to one of the classrooms
for a more informal surrounding.
Jim VianCamp, chairman of the
Campus Awareness committee,
opened the session and presented
Dr. Troutman to the group.
In attendance was another well-
known campus figure, to whom Dr.
Troutman paid tribute as one who
exexmplifies liberalism — Dr.
C. H. Hamlin.
Dr. Troutman classified him
self as ,a liberal, but said he was
not speaking for all liberals. He
defined a liberal as one who feels
that the proper, just and free world
should let the individual develop as
he wUl and as he wishes to re
spond to moral responsibilities. He
is a person who is first of all con
cerned about the individual.
During the course of the discus
sion, it was brought out that the
classical conservative movement
grew out of liberalism. This conser
vative movement advocated the
idea that man was basically weak.
Closing out the session with ,a
comment on general world situa
tions of today. Dr. Troutman stated
liberals see a revolution taking
place. The lower classes over the
world are rising out of their sub
mission to demand their freedoms
and rights from the dominant mid
dle classes.
Bringing it even nearer home.
Dr. Troutman referred to liberals
as believing that unless the United
States is able to make some dras
tic changes in its economics and
policies, it will continue to reap
animosities of the world toward
this country.

son.

ren Covingttin and his band pro
vided music for the IFC-Cp-Op

Just prior to intcrmis.sion, Joyce
Tyndall was crowned as “Pine

nouncement and crowning usually
takes place at the annual Christ

this ceremony at the IFC-Co-Op

ley, Sydney Wilson, Maggie Wil
liams, Alease Willoughby, Mary
Louise Westphal, Yvonne Fauc-
ette, Diane Fleming, Linda Morris
and Nancy Weddle.
The music furnished by Mr. Cov
ington’s band was appropriate for
all types and moods of dancing. In
evidence throughout the evening
were steps from the bunny hop
and hokey-pokey, through the waltz
and other slower numbers, to the
faster and livier cha-cha-cha and
twist.
At one time in the evening’s
activities and happenings, the band
took to the dance floor and pro
vided everyone with a march of its
own as it blared forth with the
familiar “Alexander’s Ragtime
Band.”
Throughout the four - hour period
of enjoyable music, the band re
