Atlantic Christian students who
Stravinsky Plays
In ACC Concert
Souluna Stravinsky, concert pian
ist, was a campus visitor at At
lantic Christian on Nov. 7. His ap
pearance here, and at several other
outstanding colleges and universi
ties, is part of a tour which he is
making under the auspices of the
Arts Program of the Association ot
American colleges.
Mr. Stravinsky was born in Lau
sanne, Switzerland. He has studied
piano and composition in Paris at
the Ecole Normale de Musique and
under such eminent teachers as
Alfred Cortoy, Isidore Philipp and
Nadia Boulanger.
Since his debut at the age of
twenty, Mr. Stravinsky’s concert en-
gatements have covered most of
the European countries and South
America. In the United States,
where he arrived in 1948, he has
appeared with the major orchestras
and given numerous series of reci
tals throughout this country and in
Canada.
Soulima Stravinsky is widely rec
ognized as one of the foremost
interpreters of Mozart and Scarlatti.
His French background, and his
familiarity with the great masters
of that country give him equ^ au
thority in all matters pertaining to
French music. It is hardly neces-
ary to mentinn that he is the fore
most exponent of the piano music
of his father, the noted composer,
Igor Stravinsky.
Mr. Stravinsky’s program Thurs
day night included Works by Bach,
Mozart, Ravel, Prokofiev, and
Igor Stravinsky.
are interested in participating as
either a team member or alternate
are asked to leave their names,
addresses, and telephone numbers
with Mr. Purcell (Religion and
Philosophy Department) who has
agreed to serve as faculty advisor,
or with his secretary and to do so
immediately. Since the first round
dates are so near at hand, the
team members must be named im
mediately in order for them to make
the necessary plans.
Participation involves the pres
ence of each member at each con
test (the first two are scheduled for
school nights) and traveling to other
campuses; however, all expenses in
curred by participation in “Col
lege Bowl” activities will be paid
for by the Executive Board fund.
Although the responsibilities of the
team members are heavy, the “Col
lege Bowl” offers students an op
portunity for individual academic
recognition as well as for rep
resenting our campus in a worth
while project.
Questions to be used were com
posed at a recent meeting of NSSGA
member school professors. Each
contest will consist of two twenty-
minute sessions with a short break
between them. Additional contest
rules provide for an extensive scor
ing system. The winning team will
be determined by the accumula
tion of points from all the contests.
If you would like to be a member
of the Atlantic Christian team in
these contests, remember to leave
your name, address, and telephone
number with Mr. Purcell before
noon Monday, November 11. You
will be contacted about the develop
ment of the “College Bowl” within
a few days thereafter.

Trustees Discuss
ACC Integration
The Board of Trustees of Atlantic
Christian College at its annual Fall
meeting took steps to expand its
plant facilities, made plans for
changes in the college’s charter,
granted salary increases to faculty
members teaching in summer school
and approved a revised operating
budget for the current school year.
Upon recommendation of its Build
ing Committee, the trustees author
ized the administration to engage
the services of an architect to draw
plans for a new physical education
plant and an art facility. It is ex
pected that plans will be ready to
put out for bids by the Spring of
1965 provided that funds are avail
able at that time.
The board asked a special charter
committee to prepare a resolution
deleting from the college’s charter a
clause prohibiting admission of non-
white students. Action on this for
mal resolution vnll be taken at its
midwinter meeting. The proposed
change in the charter must be rati
fied by the State Convention of
a)ristian Churches before it can
become effective.
A boost in salaries for faculty
members teaching during summer
school sessions was also given ap
proval by the board. The pay in
creases will amount to five to 39
per cent and will become effective
with the summer session of 1964.
This is the first increase in sum
mer school teaching salaries at At
lantic Christian since 1959.
A revised budget amounting to
$1,118,200 for the 1963-64 school
year was also approved by the trus
tees. The revised budget provides
for a supplementary allocation for
library books and periodicals.
