IT ONLY HURTS A FEW SECONDS — Flu shots are well worth the trouble and it’s a lot bet

above. Nurse Francis Griffin is a real artist with the needle and does an almost painless job.

Flu Outbreak Curtails Weekend
Social Activities On ACC Campus
The flu bug “bit” 75 victims
on campus during a three-day
period last week. Of the 75, two
were admitted to the hospital
and a number of students from
nearby towns were sent home.
One college physician, noting
the trend, notified the adminis-
stration that it was necessary to
report it to the Wilson County
Health Department and, in turn,
the administration should get in
touch with the Health Depart
ment. At that time Dr. Camp
bell, county health official, ad
vised Dean Bennett that it would
be in the best interest if all
unnecessary activities, particu
larly non-class, be curtailed un
til it could be determined if it
were the beginning stages of a
flue epidemic. According to Dean

pace.
When school activities were
cancelled the Cooperative Asso
ciation was forced to postpone
the back to-school dance sched
uled for last Friday night and
lost a deposit of $40 on the
band. Because the circumstances
were beyond its control, the col
lege is going to reimburse the
association.
It was reported that 135 stu
dents received flu injections last
week. Although the short-lived
epidemic seems to have been
checked at present, preventive
measures are advised as this
year seems to have a head-
start on last year when flu was
barely known at this early date
here at ACC. County health of
ficials encourage all students
faculty, and employees to take
the flue shots available at Lee
Infirmary for 50 cents
Sliideiil Union
x\nd Cafel("ria
Are Included
Plans for the building of a
new cafeteria and student union
and the remodeling of the pres
ent cafeteria into an office and
meeting building were presented
to the Executive Board Monday
night by Dr. Arthur Wenger,
president.
Dr. Wenger stated that ACC
has doubled its enrollment in the
last 10 years, and that the com
pletion of the new girls’ dorm
has made it a necessity to de
velop these facilities. Dr. Wenger
then introduced B. Atwood Skin
ner, architect for the college,
and Barry Lamm, assistant archi
tect, who explained the plans to
the board.
Skinner first stated that a cafe
teria - student union combination
would be built where the faculty
parking lot is now located. He
said that the first floor would
be a new cafeteria with a seat
ing capacity of between 550 and
650 students. This cafeteria would
feature the elimination of long
lines down the side walls, and
the serving area would be con
siderably larger than the pres
ent arrangement.
The ground floor, said Skin
ner, would consist of a new book
store, a new snack shop with a
seating capacity from 60 to 70,
a recreation room with card ta
bles and pool table, and a tele
vision room. The building would
be built so expansion could be
conducted if necessary.
Skinner went on to say that
the first floor of the present
cafeteria would be designed in
to an area which could be used
as recreation area, seminar, or
dance area. These various areas
would be set up through the use
of moveable partitions. The
ground floor would serve as of
fice areas for the student gov
ernment, the “Pine Knot” and
“The Collegiate,” and various
administration offices.
In the center of this arrange
ment would be a large confer
ence room which would be used
by the student government for
their meetings and related activi
ties.
Dr. Wenger stated that no date
has been set for the start of
construction, although it is hoped
that some progress can be made
in six to eight months. Construc
tion would take a year to com
plete.

local and other chapters.

Omega Chi Sorority.
Omega Chi had its beginning
here on the ACC campus in 1956,
under the supervision of Mrs.
Edna Johnston. A little less than
10 years later, the local group
began to investigate the possibili
ty of affiliating with a national
sorority. After consideration and
study, it was decided that Delta
Zeta was the sorority that best
suited the needs and ideals of
this local group. On May 6, 1965,
members of the Theta Omega
chapter were initiated as pledges
to Delta Zeta.
October 2 and 3 will mark the
end of this particular pledge
group and the beginning of the
first national sorority on the At
lantic Christian College campus.
