PUBLISHED WEEKLY
Constitution
Revision To
Be Presented
By DWIGHT WAGNER
Copies of the newly proposed Con
stitution and By-Laws will be prese-
sented to the student body at a
Co-Op meeting on February 2. This
Constitution will then be discussed
and voted upon a few days later. If
it is approved it will conclude a
long effort to improve this docu
ment.
Three years ago it becanie evi
dent that the present Constitution
was inadequate. It had been original
ly designed to serve a student body
of 500. By thaf time the enroll
ment was up to 1200, and today it
is 1300. In November of 1963 a
Constitution and By-Laws Commit
tee was formed to revise the Con
stitution. Shortly thereafter 1 e t-
ters were sent to all the schools in
North Carolina and surrounding stat
es asking for a copy of their
Constitution. From this material and
other features the committee pre
sented on Arpil 20, 1964 a rough
draft of the new Constitution.
On this committee were Maurice
Belanger, Cookie Wickham, Rex
Horne, Dean Robert Bennett, and
Oden Lathom. They have received
much credit from the Executive
Board for laying the fundation of
the present document.
With the resumption of the present
academic year the Constitution and
By-Laws Committee has continued
to work in order to establish the
present Constitution. Meeting ap -
priximately twice a week the com
mittee has spent many hours re
fining this document. On this com
mittee have served, Lee Horne,
Richard Surles, Gordon Mercer,
Dean Robert Bennett, Cookie Wick
ham, Stuart Lee, Hubert Burden,
and Dwight Wagner.

student educational and social ac

vacations which is a traditional
time for j)eace oriented denwnstra-

continually deceives the public and
decision making becomes further re
moved from public control.”

Fund Drive
BERKELEY (CPS) - The Univer
sity of California’s Free Speech
Movement has launched a drive to
raise money to pay the legal ex
penses of 800 students arrested last
December during a demonstration
protesting the schools regulations re
stricting campus political activity.
The University’s faculty had raised
$8500 in bail money when the stu
dents were first arrested, but the
Free Speech Movement said addi
tional money was now needed to
help defer legal expenses. So the
Movement is calling on students
across the nation to help raise it.
At the same time, it called on
students on other campuses to write
letters to California Governor Ed
mund G. Brown and the state legis
lature supporting the demonstrators.
AC Students
Are Planning
For SSL Meet
By ELWOOD VANN
During February 18th and 20th the
scene at our old State capitol build
ing will be dominated, not by grey
ing, elderly statesmen, but by young,
serious - minded students from vari
ous colleges throughout North Caro
lina, each eager to test his ability to
manage the gears of government
There is no cause for alarm. The
scene is replayed each year as the
State Student Legislature takes com
mand of the old Capitol in a mock
session complete with senators, rep
resentatives, lobbyist, general sup
porters, legislative bills, propaganda
materials, and much enthusiasm, all
being furnished by colleges from
across the state.
With these “raw” materials the
State Student Legislature hopes to
fulfill its purpose — to give stu
dents first-hand instruction and ex
perience in governmental processes
and procedures.
The experience gained at such a
gathering will reflect in better gov
ernmental leadership in the schools
represented and will develop bet
ter quality citizens through a better
understanding and respect for gov
ernmental procedures.
Although this will not be ACC’a
first year to be represented at the
assembly, in past years ACC has
not sponsored a bill for considera
tion by that body.
The image of ACC as a participat
ing member of the S. S. L. will be
greatly enhanced by the presenta
tion of the Sweeny-White Fishery
Bill in February. The chances of
passing this bOl through are good,
since it is a worthwhile, well re
searched, and skillfully written one.
Official delegates representing ACC
are: Senators David Webb and Stu
art Lee; Representatives Dwight
Wagner, Cookie Wickham, and El-
wood Vann. David Webb and Dwight
Wagner are to be commended for
the quality of the bill. The confi
dence in the bill is based upon the
re.s;ults of their outstanding personal
application and leadership in making
the bill a reality.
Atlantic Christian will be repre
sented in force. Approximately elev
en supporters will accompany the
official delegates to Raleigh and will
be active in gaining support for the
Sweeny - White Fishery Bill.
Many methods of publicizing the
bill will be employed. Past state
newspaper articles supporting the
text of the bill will be reproduced
and distributed. Pins with the in
scription “ACC likes Fish.” will be
distributed to arouse interest. Let
ters will be sent to other schools
participating in the event in an
effort to inform and win support
for the bill prior to the actual ga
thering.
Many students do not realize the
influence the passing of a bill
through this body can have. Billa
passed by the S.S.L. are considered
for action by the North Carolina
Congress. A copy of the bill is be
ing sent to members of the N. C.
legislature from the Wilson district
ACC and many throughout the
state, who will be personally affect
ed, will be viewing the course o!
the Sweeny - White Fishery Bill
wdth much concern. The Wilso*
