Exec Board Discusses Budget
By STEVE LOVE
The Executive Board held its reg
ular meeting Monday night, Oct, 4th,
in room 212 of the Classroom Build
ing. The main topics of discussion
centered around the budgets submit
ted by the Concert and Assembly
and Stage and Script Organizations.
The budgets for the groups had
been tabled until further informa
tion could be secured.
Mr. Cecil Willis, director of Stage
and Script, was called upon by the
Board to explain the need for the
$800 increase in his organization’s
budget. Mr. Willis stated that the
main portion of the increase will be
used for restoring the lighting facili
ties of Howard Chapel which are
in dire need of repair. The Chapel
is used by other groups on the cam
pus and it has been the policy of the
school to leave the maintinance work
to the Stage and Script Club. Mr.
Willis further stated that costumes,
the switchboard, storage, micro-
pohones, backdrops, and stairs are
among the problems with which the
WINNERS—SaUy Cox from Washington was elected by P0P«Iar vote
as “The Most Popular Freshman Girl” last Friday night. Jay Born-
hill, a senior from Benson, was elected as “Mr. Top Hat on tsa
day night. Both were sponsored by Sigma Phi Epsilon Fraternity.

ed The Most Popular Freshman
Girl Friday night at a dance spon
sored by Sigma Pi fraternity at the
Cherry Hotel.

Epsilon, was among seven candi
dates competing for the honor. The

Club Has Meeting
The Accounting Club of Atlantic
Christian College held its first meet
ing on Thursday, Oct. 3, 1963. There
were approximately 20 people at
tending this meeting. It was decided
that the Club would meet on the
first Wed. night of each month at
7:30 p.m. in room 104 of the class
room building. The Club welcomes
new members who are interested in
accounting. The officers for the year
are: President, Richard Keel; Vice
Resident, Charles Price; Secretary-
easurer, Grover Dees, and Report
er, Jay Hare.
Club has to contend. Last year the
Club presented six plays which cost
approximately $200 apiece and this
year they will present 13 plays at
a cost of approximately $145 each.
After considerable discussion the
Board passed the Budget.
Mr. James Cobb was asked to ex
plain the submitted increase in the
Concert and Assembly budget. Mr.
Cobb commented that Atlantic Chris
tian could not have a well rounded
program of popular and cultural
concerts on the $1,600 which has
been the budget of Concert and As
sembly for the past few years. Most
“Hot Campus Groups,” such as
“Peter, Paul and Mary” and others
do not even begin to fit into a
$1,600 budget. Mr. Cobb proposed
that with a $4,000 budget ACC could
afford to get outstanding attrac
tions and with added money from
the sale of tickets to these events,
more attractions could be had. The
$2,400 increase was approved by the
Board.
Several proposals were made by
members of the Board concerning
the amount of admission to be charg
ed at the forthcoming “Four Preps
Concert.” Rex Horne proposed on
admission charge of $.50 but it was
defeated by the Board. Richard Surl-
es recommended $1.00 as the admis
sion charge but it was also defeated.
If was finally decided that the
amount charged should be left up
to the Concert and Assembly Com
mittee which is handling the Con
cert.

Hatten Hodges Is
Named To AC Post
Roland Hatten Hodges Jr. of Wil
son has been appointed Director of
Alumni Activities at Atlantic Chris
tian College, according to Dr. Ar
thur D. Wenger, president of the col
lege.
Dr. Wenger said, “Mr. Hodges’
appointment as Director of Alumni
Activities brings a new and stronger
emphasis to this important phase of
work at ACC. Previously our alum
ni work has been coupled with other
major responsibilities. Under this
new arrangement it will approach
full-time status. Mr. Hodges has
demonstrated his qualifications to
give outstanding leadership in our
alumni work. While a student he
served in numerous roles which have
helped to prepare him for his new
duties. We feel fortunate in having
him associated with the college.”
Hodges is a native of Raleigh and
was graduated from Atlantic Chris
tian College in 1963 with the bache
lor of arts degree. While attending
ACC Hodges was editor of The Col
legiate and winner of The Wilson

en to the student who shows the
most promise in the field of publica
tions.
Hodges was also awarded the Fac
ulty Cup his senior year. This award
is presented each year to the stu
dent who has the best general rec
ord in the college. Winning this cup
is considered not less distinctive
than achieving the degree which the
college confers.

Epsilon Fraternity, Hodges held two
elective offices in student govern
ment. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs.
R. H. Hodges of Wilson and is
