College Preparatory Program
Begins Fifth Year In Summer
Atlantic Christian ■ College will
hold its fifth College Preparatory
Session from July 15 to August
19, 1966. The program has been
held for the past four summers
and college officials report that
statistics indicate it has proved
to be invaluable to participating
students. In addition to academ

opportunity for an early orienta

the transition from high school
to college less difficulty.
Purpose of the program is to
give students intensive instruc
tion which provides the opportun
ity to improve those skills and
techniques which experience in
dicates are areas of greatest
weakness. While prior acceptance
for fall enrollment by some col
lege or university is recommend
ed, such enrollment is not a
prerequisite for participation in
the preparatory program.
Instruction will be provided in
reading, English and mathema
tics. Students will be provided

Dr. Swindell Says
Days Missed Will
Not lie Made-Uj)
The three days of classes that
were missed last week because
of heavy snow will not have to
be made up according to Dr.
Lewis Swindell, Dean of the Col
lege. Dr. Snindell stated that the
official schedule of the college
was flexible enough to absorb
the lost time.
The big snowfall, which
reached a total of nine inches in
the Wilson area necessitated the
calling of classes on Thursday,
Friday and Monday of the past
week. Many ACC students living
outside of the state of North
Carolina were stranded by even
heavier snowfalls.
Approximately 100 to 150 stu
dents were here at the college
during the layover and most of
these people, as well as other
students, were more than glad
to start classes on Tuesday.
Time was difficult to kill during
this period, and the dorms were
the scenes of many a bridge
and poker game.
In his statement to the The
Collegiate, Dr. Swindell said
that classes would not be calle<l
as the result of any further snow
falls. He said that students living
far away would not be expected
to indanger themselves if they
were not able to make a safe
passage to and from the college.

life.
All courses will be on a non
credit basis and will be taught
by a competent faculty. It
should be clearly understood that
successful completion of the pro
gram can in no way guarantee
acceptance at any college or un
iversity.
The course in English will em
phasize grammar, theme writ
ing and correct oral expression.
In the area of reading compre
hension, vocabulary and increas
ed speed are emphasized. A
standarized reading test will be
administered at the beginning to
determine reading level, and at
the conclusion a second test will
be given to determine improve
ment.
In the area of mathematics,
students will be offered a gener
al survey of the fundamental
concepts and techniques to in
clude number systems, set the
ory, proof and functional rela
tionships.
Remedial instruction will be
available in areas of demonstrat
ed deficiency.
A program of supervised rec
reation will be provided as an
integral part of the prepara-

The program is primarily a
resident program; however, some
