Atlantic Christian Campus
To Be Scene Of Four Preps
Last Yearns Coop Budget
Is Topic Of Exec Board
The Executive Board held its reg-
Tlie nationally famous recording
artists, “The Four Preps,” will ap
pear in concert at Atlantic Chris
tian College on Oct. 28.
Sponsored by the Concert and
Assembly Committee of the college’s
Cooperative Association, the con
cert will be held in the ACC gym
nasium from 8-10 p.m. The group
will be performing primarily for
the student body, a limited number
of tickets will be available to the
general public which may be ob-
taibed in the lobby of the college’s
classroom building, beginning Oct.
24, beginning at 2 p.m.
In 1957, when the Preps began re
cording for Capitol, they were the
youngest vocal group on a major
record label. Contrary to what
seems to be the musical law of
Nature for teen vocal groups, their
career didn’t end with one big hit.
Their first record, “Dreamy
Eyes,” was a success in 1957, but
their million-selling “26 Miles”
made them national celebrities in
1958. Soon to follow was “Big Man,”
which almost overtook “26 Miles”
and helped snag The Preps’ recog
nition as “Most Promising Vocal
Group” of 1958 in the Cash Box
Magazine poll.
There have been other hits —
“Down by the Station,” “Big Sur
prise,” Lazy Summer Night,” “Got
a Girl,” and “Cinderella,” (which
they sang in the motion picture
“Gidget”) proving that The Preps
are as popular as ever with the
jukebox crowd.
But what has made The Preps
a phenomenon is that they’ve
grown up in show business — with
out passing through “that awkward
stage.”
By mid-summer of 1961, when
their smash album, THE FOUR
PREPS ON CAMPUS, became a na
tional best-seller, it was apparent
that The Preps had smoothly ma
triculated to college and adult adu-
diences.
Mason Addresses
AC Student Body
The guest minister for the Tues
day Chapel Service was the Rev.
Mr. Samuel Mason. Mr. Mason
hails from England where he is the
minister of the Aigburth Vale
Church of Christ in Liverpool. He
is in this country as the fraternal
delegate from England to the as
sembly of the International Conven
tion of Christian Churches (Disci
ples of Christ). For the past two
months he has been observing the
nature, structure, and function of
the Christian Churches in Canada
and the United States. The Rev.
Mr. Mason graduated from Leices
ter College of Art and Technology
and Overdale Theological College.
Rev. Mason’s sermon dealt with
the theme that man must stop and
listen to the song of nature apart
from the noisy and busy world he
finds himself living in. The mem
bers of the Atlantic Christian Col
lege Community sat and listened
as this English minister, with verb
al thoughts, turned a college gym
into a cathedral of quite beauty.
Phi Beta Lambda
Holds Meeting
Phi Beta Lambda held its latest
meeting at Parker’s Barbecue on
Wednesday, Oct. 16, 1963. Mr.
Foy Goforth, vice - president of

ed with the various phases of

the college student. He invited the

212 of the Classroom Building. Sev
eral pertinent campus issues were

Miss Eloise Reel brought up the
question of the shortened Christ
mas Holidays this year and moved
to have Dean Swindell investigate
the matter. In a discussion of the
matter it was mentioned that there
are a minimum number of days
the college must be in session and
that to fall below might cause
ACC to loose its position as an
accredited school.
Mr. Robert Royall, National Stu
dent Association Co-ordinator, an
nounced that there would be a fall
NSA Regional meeting at State Col
lege in Raleigh on Nov. 15 and 16,

surer of the Coop, spoke to the
board regarding overdrawn budgets
of a few of last year’s organizations
under the Cooperative Association.

on campus exceeded their budget
ACC To Examine
Teaching Program
In keeping with its program of
quality education, Atlantic Christian
College will soon take a careful look
at its academic and teacher educa
tion program.
Plans are now underway for a
series of self-studies in preparation
for evaluation and accreditation of
its teacher education program by
the N. C. Department of Public
Instruction and the National Coun
cil for accreditation of Teacher Ed
ucation (NCATE).
The college is also scheduled for
re-evaluation by the Southern As
sociation of Colleges and Schools
which includes not only teacher
education but the entire college pro
gram.
The teacher education program at
Atlantic Christian has been accredit
ed by the North Carolina group for
many years, but this will be the
first time approval has been sought
of the National Council. Evaluation
of the college’s teacher education
program will take place during the
spring of 1965 when committees
from the accrediting agencies are
expected to visit the campus.
Under the new state approved pro
gram, graduates of the college will
be granted teachers certificates on
ly upon recommendation of the col
lege. Presently certificates are
granted by the state agency. Ap
proval by the National Council will
give national recognition to future
graduates of the college in teach
er education.

Play To Run
Again Tonight
A lot of work by a few means
enjoyment for many. That’s the sto
ry behind Stage & Script’s produc
tion of “Out of the Frying Pan,”
closing tonight.
The play, by Francis Swann, con
cerns six young hopefuls trying to
break into the theatre via Ar
thur Kenny, theatrical producer,
who lives downstairs. Their efforts
to get him to see his play, which
tliey rehearsed, are constantly up
set by the arrival of Alfred Coburn,
one of the girl’s father, Mrs. Gar
rett, the landlady and the Cops.
Playing the young people are:
Betty Lu Gray as Marge, George
Farr as Tony, Rae Torrey as Dot-
tie, Floyd Harnage, Grace Driscoll
as Kate Ault, and Fred Barber as
George. Penny Kirk plays the land
lady, Bobby Royall plays Arthur
Kenny, and Jim Burroughs plays
Alfred Coburn. B. H. Marshall and
Mr. Cecil Willis play the part of
the two cops. Mac and Joe. Mr.
Willis’ portrayal of Joe, the dumb
cop, promises to be one of
the highlights of the play. Floyd
Brown is the new State & Script
stage manager.
The play is a fast moving, light
comedy with plenty of laughs from
the opening curtain to the close of
the third act. This play is one
of the laugh highlights of the 1963-
64 season of Stage & Script.
