See Launching
Of Col. Glenn
Dismissed classes, a crowded Bo-
hunk, excited talk throughout the
campus, marked the orbital flight
of astronaut John Glenn, Tuesday,
February 20.
Early Tuesday morning, when it
had been learned that Flenn’s
flight would take place, a steady
buzz of conversation began, con
tinuing throughout the day.
The television in the Bohunk, us
ually deserted for games of bridge
and conversation, was surrounded
at times with as many as 40 or 50
students.
Usually normal classes were
held with suspense of Glenn’s his
toric flight on everyone’s mind. In
many classes, professors allowed
radios to be played periodically in
order to be informed of Colonel
Glenn’s position and number of or
bits. Several other classes, were
dismissed and allowed to watch
television.
John Glenn’s orbital flight, com
parable to the Wright Brothers,
was delayed for almost three
months because of technical diffi
culties and adverse weather condi
tions. Making three complete orbits
at a speed of better than 17,000
miles-an-hour, the flight took four
hours and 56 minutes, from blast
off at 9:47 a.m. to impact in
the ocean at 2:43 p.m.

Basketball Squad
Honored On Monday
Members of the Atlantic Chris
tian CoUege Varsity and Junior
Varsity basketball squads were
guests of the BuUdog Club at a
special dinner held at Parker’s
Restaurant Monday evening.
Presiding over the dinner was
Edward L. Cloyd Jr., Director of
Athletics. Speakers for the even
ing were Coach Jack MCComas
and Junior Varsity Coach Frank
Montgomery.
Palyers of each squad were in
troduced individually by their
coaches and awards were made to
several players.
through a state association, the
gathering and communicating of
all the memiber schools. We have
two conferences a year, at which
we have discussion groups on the
different problems facing the indi
vidual schools. In these discus
sions, the representatives are able
to receive the solutions which oth
er member governments have em
ployed in alleviating their own sit
uations. The representatives ex
change new ideas for improving
their student governments and new
ways to serve the students.”
The next conference of the mem
ber schools will be at Catawba
College Sunday, April 29 and Mon
day, April 30. The purpose of this
meeting will be the election of of
ficers for the coming year and a
discussion of problems.
Mr. Kanipe explained that while
LEE KANIPE
the structure and amount of actual
governing power varies greatly be
tween student governments, the
purposes and problems arc often
very smilar. In his current cir
cuit, he visited East Carolina Col
lege Monday and St. Andrews Wed
nesday. Other member schools ' in
clude Western Carolina, Appala-
chain State Teachers’ College, Ca
tawba College, Pfeiffer, Elon Col
lege, Guilford College, High Point,
Lenoir Rhyne, and Atlantic Chris
tian. About ten other schools are
now being considered for member
ship.
Mr. Kanipe was asked to evalu
ate the association. He replied as
follows; “I think the NS^A is
very valuable to its member
schools. At our conferences, a
great deal of information is re^
ceived by the representatives and
this information is taken back to
the respective student govern
ments and given to them. This
gives aU the schools a vast knowl
edge of what is happening in stu
dents government at other
schools, and gives them new ideas
for improving and better serving
the students.
“The association could be much
more valuable if the member
schools would make use of it. One
way to do this is to contact the
central office at Catawba and ask
for the solutions used by other
schools.
“We are now working on joint
ly sponsoring tours of well-known
performers to all member schools.
We could contact these perform
ers and contract them for a visit
to the eleven schools and by doing
this, the respective schools would
be able to obtain good performers
at reduce drates.
One of the faults that I find is
not in the association itself, but
in the response from the student
governments of the member
schools. This fault lies on the
shoulders of the officers of each
school. The NSSGA sent out a
questionnaire asking for informa
tion which was needed immediate
ly, and the local officers waited
a month 'before returning this in
formation. Such occurrences hamp
er the efficient functioning of NS
SGA.”
