Academic t reedom Bill
By MARTIMER LEETE
The Executive Board, at its Mon
day night meeting in the classroom
building, received further informa
tion on aid to foreign colleges, dis
cussed a petition calling for action on
an Interfraternity Council — Co
operative Association dance, and con
sidered a request for participation in
an academic freedom project. Policy
concerning the point system for ex
tracurricular activities was clarified,
and committees were established to
recommend changes in chapel pro
cedures and to study the possibility
of a fund raising campaign for a
Student Union.
A letter was received from the
National Student Union confirming
the integrity and financial difficulties
to a college in southern Africa which
had previously requested donations
from ACC and 2,500 other schools.
The board had endorsed a contribu
tion at a prior meeting; the students
will now vote for approval or rejec
tion during the Nov. 5 meeting of
the Cooperative Association. The
NSA coordinator suggested the pos
sibility of the adoption by Atlantic
Christian College of an institution in
Africa or Latin America. Adoption of
another school would entail sending
financial aid, and possibly books and
teachers as well; in addition, there
could be exchanges of students.
A petition was received by the
board calling for a Co-Op Association
vote on whether to hold an IFC —
Co-Op dance during the coming
year. It was pointed out that the
budget, which has already been ap
proved by the students, alloted no
funds for such a function, but that
the Social Committee of the Execu
tive Board does have a limited
amount available. This matter will
also be decided by vote at the Nov,
5. meeting of the Cooperative As-
Walsh Gives Talk
On Peace Corps
Miss Mary Walsh, representing the
Peace Corps of the United States,
is visiting the ACC campus today.
A former Paris staff member of the
New York Times, Miss Walsh is
employed in the Office of Public
Affairs of the Corps, and is here to
explain to students the purpose and
ainas of that organization.
She will appear before the stu
dent body in chapel this morning,
will lunch with the Executive
®oard at the Cherry Hotel. She will
hold conferences with individual stu
dents in the afternoon. At 7:00 p.m.
Uiis evening, a 28 minute movie
concerning the Peace Corps will be
shown in the chapel.
sociation.
A National Student Union represen
tative sent the board a letter con
cerning an Academic Freedom Proj
ect being organized by NSA, and in
vited the participation of this school.
The project has been established to
review cases in which there is some
question of a violation of students'
rights. The project is preparing a
formal Bill of Student Rights and
seeking the adoption by colleges of
concrete regulations by which stu
dents may know exactly how they are
to govern themselves. This matter
is to be discussed further.
Two committees were established,
the first to study possible changes in
chapel attendance regulations and
the second to consider a fund rais
ing campaign for a Student Union.
Absent from the meeting were
Rex Horne, Junior Class President,
and Sherri Herne, Senior Class Sen
ator.
Held In Cullowee
This past weekend three ACC stu
dents attended the North State Stu
dent Government Association Con
gress held at Western Carolina Col
lege at Cullowhee, N. C. Present at
the three day meeting were David
Peebles, president of the North State
Student Government Association;
E. B. Shearin, president of the Ex
ecutive Board; and Joe Eastman,
president of the freshman class.
According to Peebles some of the
main resolutions passed which
would affect ACC were: the ap
pointment of a committee to look
into the possibility of setting up a
booking agent for securing big name
bands for future concerts and danc
es, thereby allowing each of the 10
member schools to save money from
their funds devoted to concerts of
this type; NSGA increased the dues
of constituent schools by ten dollars

James C, Hagerty, Press Secreta
ry to President Eisenhower from
1963-61, held an informal discussion
with the Atlantic Christian Faculty
and students in Hardy Library. Mon
day afternoon.
In an atmosphere charged with the
forthcoming Presidential speech,
which was set for one hour after the
meeting with Mr. Hagerty, most of
the questions directed to Mr. Hager
ty centered around the (Xiban situa
tion and his opinions on this subject.
lie predictai, even before hearing
President Kennedy's speech, that the
President was probably planning
some type of blockade of Cuba, lie
admitted that although he had been
in contact with Washington and New
Vork several times during the day,
that he had been unable to learn
anything about what measures the
President was about to take.
When asketl how the Latin Ameri

my opinion, any direct action taken
Foreign Student Talks
At SNEA Meeting Here
The Clyde A, Erwin Chapter of the
Student National Educational Asso
ciation met in the Recreation Room
of Harper Hall on October 18, 1962
at four o’clock. The meeting was
called to order by the President,
Jackie Rivenbark, and the Chaplain,
Carolyn Anthony, gave a devotion on
“Education Day”,
The guest speaker for the meeting
was Eva Holmberg from Backaby,
Sweden and a student at Atlantic
Christian, Miss Holmberg talked to
the S.N.E.A. on the educational sys
tem in Sweden. She told them that
classes began at eight-thirty in Swe
den and they go to school on Satur
day. The Parliament has passed a
bill in Sweden which is inspired by
many American ideas on education
This fall, it has been accepted and
brings about much uniformity and
certain other changes in the public
schools.
All elementary and most secondary
schools offer free textbooks, and free
lunches are served in some districts.
The students are given free medical
check-ups and free dental treat
ments.
A child begins school at the age
of seven and usually is twenty years
old when he finishes. Before a stu
dent can go on for further educa
tion after secondary school he must
pass the Student Examination or the
Maturity Examination. This exami
nation requires long hours of study
and preparation.
Miss Holmberg ended her talk on
the education system in Sweden by
showing the group some pictures of
graduation exercises in Sweden and
playing a record of her school song.
TTie next S.N.E.A. meeting will be
in November.
Janet Danielson
Presents Concert
Miss Janet Danielson, pianist, who
has joined the music faculty of the
College this year, was enthusiastical
ly received by her audience last Mon
day evening when she appeared in
recital in Howard Chapel. Miss Dan
ielson plays with precision and as
surance.
The Partita No. 1 in B flat which
opened the program was executed
with skill and understanding which
made it most meaningful to the lis
teners. The Beethoven “Pastorale”
Sonata, a seldom heard work of that
great master which followed, was
played with warmth and feeling, its
dramatic moments being brought out
forcefully, displaying the emotional
range inherent in such a work by this
composer.
After intermission, a very imagina
tive rendering of three Debussy pre
ludes preceded the final work, Varia
tions on a theme of Corelli, Opus 42,
by Rachmanmoff.
Miss Danielson proved herself
a capable exponent of the late ro
manticism of Rachmaninoff, and
was enthusiastically applauded at the
conclusion of this real tour de force.
Mrs. Hall Added
To ACC Faculty
MRS. DORIS HALL
Mrs. Doris Browder Hall of Chap
el Hill is now serving as instructor
in the department of English at At
lantic Christian College.
A native of Andrews, S. C. she is
a graduate of Williamsburg High
School and North Greenville Junior
College, Tigerville, S. C. Mrs. Hall
was graduated “magna cum laude”
from Carson-Newman College, .Jef
ferson City, Tenn., with the A.B.
degree in English and is currently
completing work on her M.A. de
gree in English from the Universi
ty of North Carolina.
Prior to her graduate studies she
taught for four years in the Chat
tanooga, Tenn. public schools. She
is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Al
bert C. Browder of Andrews, S. C.,
and wife of the late William C. Hall
of Chattanooga, Tenn.

1962-63 academic year.
against Cuba would be supported by
no more than five to six countries
of the OAS,”
He said further that in the L;»tin
American the people have supported
the dictators because they have ex
tended to the people certain benefits
that they did not have before, such
as better housing, running water,
and higher wages. But in other
areas the people have been stolen
blind by the dictators.
Commenting on the Senatorial race
in Mass., where Henry Cabot Uxige,
,Ir. and Ted Kennedy are running
against each other, Mr, Hagerty said
that he believed that Kennedy would
win. However, he said, “a Ted Ken
nedy victory in Mass. will hurt the
Democrats for two reasons. F'irst of
all, Kennedy has none of the qualifi
cations for a senator. Secondly, Ted
Kenne<iy will be forced many times
to vote against Presidential propo
sals in favor of state interest."
In respect to Telstar operations,
Mr. Hagerty said that world-wide tel
evision would probably be in full op
eration in about five years. He fur-
tlier predicted that in fifty years the
United States would have manned
television satellites revolving around
the earth. Tliis inter-continental tele
vision would, however, be used most
ly for great human events rather
than every day programming.
Mr. Hagerty is now serving as
Vice President of the American
Broadcasting Company. In this offi
cial capacity he is in charge of all
ABC news coverage.
Mr. Hagerty was invited to Wil-
,son by the Rotary Club, where he
made a speech last Monday night.
Attending this highly interesting
discussion with Mr. Hagerty were
approximately 25 persons.
Bryant, Willard
Chief Majorettes
Tension flourished among five girls
last Thursday, Oct. 18, when the
majorettes for the coming year
would be selected. After weeks of
practicing different routines with
Marilyn Bryant, chief majorette, and
George-Ann Willard, assistant
chief, the twirling ability of th girls
was put to a difficult test. The try
outs were: Barbara Layton from
Edenton; Emily McCauley from Fu-
quay Springs; Janet Bottoms, Mari
lyn Seboume, and Lianna Joyner all
of Wilson.
After a long period of observance,
the judges came to a final decision.
Since all the tryouts were classified
as “Number One” majorettes, the
judges decided it would be impossi
ble to eliminate anyone of the five.
The decision was a happy one for
the five girls who put quite a bit of
time and effort in practicing.
