Preparatory
Program Again
Atlantic Christian College will hold
its fourth College Preparatory Pro
gram from July 16, 1965, through
August, 20, 1965. The program has
been held for the past three sum
mers and college officials say statis
tics indicate it has proved to be
invaluable to participating students.
In addition to academic gains, the
program offers an opportunity for
an early orientation to college life
wh'ch makes the transit'on from
high school to college less difficult.
The purpose of the program is to
give students intensive instruction
which provides the opportunity to
improve those skills and techniques
which experience indicates are
areas of greatest weakness. While
prior aceptance for fall enrollment
by some colleges or university is
recommended, such enrollment
is not a prerequisite for participa
tion in the preoaratory program
Instruction will be provided in
reading, English and mathematics.
Students will be provided with an
opportunity to learn better work and
study habits, to participate in super
vised study and supervised recrea
tion and gain an orientation to col
lege life.
All courses will be on a non
credit basis and will be taught by
a competent faculty. It should be
ciearly understood that successful
completion of the program can in
no way guarantee acceptance at any
college or university.
Tlie course in Engl’sh will em
phasize grammar, theme wr’ting
and correct oral exx»ression. In the
area of reading comprehension, vo-

Goal of $750,000
To Underwrite First
Phase of Program
Atlantic Christian College has e.^-
ceeded its minimum goal of $750.-
000 to underwrite the first five-
year phase of its 15-yYear Develop
ment Program, according to an an
nouncement recently by Thomas J.
Hackney Jr., chairman of the col
lege’s development campaign.
Commenting on the announcement
Hackney said, “The attainment of
our minimum financial goal this
early in our current campaign gives
us every reason to believe that the
needed goal of $1 million for the
first five-year phase of our long-
range development program can be
reached by 1968.”
The college’s 15 - Year Develop
ment Program was authorized by
its Board of Trustees in 1961 and
was designed to be carried out in
three five-year phases. The plan
provides for an extensive building
program, supplementing of faculty
salaries and increases in the col
lege’s endowment fund.
Contributing financially to the
campaign in the form of gifts and
pledges were trustees, students, fac
ulty, alumni, citizens of North Car
olina and other states, members of
the Christian Church (Disciples of
Christ), business corporations and
foundations.
At time of the announcement, Dr.
Arthur D. Wenger, president of the
college said, “By their generous
response to the long - range de
velopment plans which the faculty
and trustees had set after intenisve
study, the college’s friends have
made it quite clear that they be
lieve deeply in the objectives which
the college is attemping to achieve.
Such interest and concern are
among the college’s most valuable
assets.
“The achievement of the minimum
financial goal enables the college
to maintain, or even to accelerate,
the schedule of building and de
velopment which was adopted at
the launching of the campaign in
March of 1963. We are confident
that the promise of further devel-
