IFC Holds First
62-63 Assembly
On Sept. 18
MARY LOUISE WESTPHAL
President Jay Barnhill called the
Interfraternity Council meet
ing of the 1962-63 school year to
order Tuesday, Sept. 18. Following
the roll call and the reading of the
minutes by Sidney Jean Wilson, the
treasurer, Ed Perkins reported that
there was $81.47 in the IFC treas
ury.
There was a lengthy discussion as
to whether the Greeks would have
a Greek Sing or not. The IFC board
finally decided that this year, for
the first time, the Greeks would
have a non-competitive Greek En
tertainment Night instead of a com
petitive Greek Sing. Mr. Barnhill
announced that Wink Holland will be
in charge of this entertainment night
which is to be held Friday, Oct. 19.
A committee, the president of each
sorority or fraternity, was appointed
to work with Mr. Ho.''and, and Dean
Warren suggested that the commit
tee bring back to the IFC board
at their next meeting the plans that
they decide on for this entertain
ment program.
There was great discord among the
board members as to the date Rush
would be held this year. Fan Faulk
ner suggested that the sororities
have rush separate from the fraterni
ties and at a later date than fraterni
ties this year. This would give stu
dents a better chance to understand
more about Sororities before Rush.
Miss Wilson was not in favor of this
being done this year. Bob Bishop
moved that Rush be held Monday,
Oct. 22 through Thursday, Oct. 25.
After a long debate among the com
mittee, Fall Semester Rush was set
for Mr. Bishops proposed dates.
Mr. Barnhill announced that Joel
Newton will be in charge of rush
this year, and will set up a program
as to when each alphabetical group
will visit a certain sorority or frater
nity. Sororoity rush will be in the
afternoon and fraternity rush at
night.
Mr. Barnhill made it quite clear
that he hopes this year many of ACC
students will visit the different soror
ities and fraternities on campus and
that rush will be a satisfying suc
cess.

Presidential Nominees Offer Their
Pre-Election Views Of Frosh Class
By JESS MAGHAN
Interviews with candidates for
president of the freshman class
accented the strong competition that
was evident during the campaign
last week. •
Floyd Harnage, graduated from
Jacksonville High School where he
was president of the Science Club
and vice president of the Latin and
Drama Clubs. When queried as to
why he chose Atlantic Christian,
Harnage replied that he desired a
small college to gain tlie benefits
from close faculty-student associa
tion. According to Harnage,i “the
greatest problem facing a freshman
is the ability to “buckle down”
and study also the development of
character in the new horizon of the
college world. “The Class of ’66 is a
swell group and are out to do a good

job,” Harnett concluded.
.loe Eastman is a graduate of
Beaufort High School where he was
president of the junior and senior
class. Eastman came to Atlantic
Christian seeking to locate a campus
with a friendly atmosphere and
small student body. “It is easier to
adjust and the benefits are more
readily available on a small camp
us,” Eastman stated. “The out-side
party activities are not so demand
ing as is evident at larger colleges
and universities.”
Eastman viewed the greatest prob
lem facing a freshman as the ad
justment to new surroundings, the
transformation from “home rule”,
so to speak, to life on “your own.”
In commenting on the Class of ’66,
Eastman felt that this years fresh
man class was to be the largest and
best freshman class Atlantic Chris
tian has ever experienced. “The year
will prove this as the freshman po
tential is tapped in all phases of col
lege life,” Eastman assured.
Gene Brown comes to Atlantic
Christian from Durham High School
where he was active in debating
and forensic leagues. Gene was also
homeroom president and served on
