Freshman Girl
Dance Planned
By JOHN HYSON
The annual Most Popular
Freshman Girl Dance has be
come somewhat of a custom on
the ACC Social Calendar, and for
a number of years has been
sponsored by Sigma Pi. One year
it was held as a Sadie Hawkins
Dance, but it was decided to
keep it as a dance in itself.
This has always been one of
the most successful events of
each year, and the way the
plans are shaping up, this year’s
will be better than ever.
This year the Most Popular
Freshman Girl Dance will be
held Friday, February 25th, from
eight until twelve p.m., in the
Carolina Room of the Cherry
Hotel. Dress will be semi-for
mal. The charge for admission
will be $2 per couple. Couples
only. Music will be provided by
Gene Barber and the “Cava
liers.”
The “Cavaliers” is one of the
fastest rising groups in the Car-
olinas. They made a great show
at the Pine Knot Dance and
are backing Martha and the
“Vandellas” in their concert
on the 21st.
Pictures of the candidate for
the various organizations will be
posted in front of the Classroom
Building for the week prior to
the dance. At the dance, you
niay cast your ballot when you
enter, or you may wait until
after the candidates are formal
ly presented during the first in
termission. The Most Popular
Freshman Girl will be crowned
during the second intermission.
By ANN JOHNSON
A very important part of the
programs for improvement and
expansion at ACC in recent
years has been the gifts of va
rious foundations. Among the
largest of these have been two
$25,000 gifts, one from the Z.
Smith Reynolds Foundation and
the other from the Mary Rey
nolds Babcock Foundation. These
are to be used specifically for
the library improvement proj
ect. Another has been a gift of
$8700 from the National Science
Foundation. This amount was
matched by ACC and used to
buy scientific equipment.
These gifts are largely the re
sult of the work of a foundation

college to the same foundation.
Explaining what a founda
tion is, Mr. Cleveland mentioned
four different types of what
might generally be called such.
They were independent founda
tions such as Ford, Kellogg, etc.
with their own board of trustees
and set of regulations; com
pany - sponsored foundations
which are those of business cor
porations such as Sears, General
Electric, oil companies, or small
er local concenrs; family fou-
dations established by an individ
ual as a philanthropic medium;
and government foundations
whose funds come from taxes

Rudolf Serkin
To Play Raleigh
Again a number of student
tickets are available for Atlantic
Christian College students at the
Music Building beginning Feb.
21 at 9:00 a.m. for a piano re
cital in Raleigh at N. C. State
University, Reynolds Coliseum.
Serkin is one of today outstand
ing pianist. He includes on his
program the Beethoven “AM)as-
sionata”, the Schuman “Cama-
val”, and works by Bach, Haydn
and Busoni on the 100th cele
bration of his birth.
the college’s program.
During ACC’s last building
fund campaign in 1963, Burling
ton Industries pledged $15,000.
R, J. Reynolds also gave $5,000
although not in the name of a
foundation.
According to Mr. Cleveland, al
though large foundation gifts at
tract much attention and are
certainly useful, most support
for higher education is from in
dividual contributions. This is not
only true of ACC but generally
of education across the country.
Informed estimates set the to
tal assets of foundations at $15
billion while people die leaving
that amount each year. The
American Association of Fund
raising Council estimated that
in 1964 $1.8 billion was given to
ail education. In that same
year less than $200 million was
given by foundations.
In the next few years Mr.
Cleveland foresees for ACC con
tinued efforts to obtain founda
tion funds and increased empha
sis on individual gifts for en-
dovmient funds. An effort is now
being made to finance a balcony
from foundations and to act as
a clearinghouse to avoid multi
ple or conflicting requests from
the different departments of the
in the new gymnasium through
funds from the Kresge Founda
tion. Nearly all the gifts re
ceived by the college are now
being used for construction pur
poses. The additional emphasis
on endowment funds is the re
sult of a need for more stu
dent scholarships and increased
faculty pay to which foundations
seldom contribute.
The excellent support of local
companies and individuals to
ACC was also cited by Mr.
Cleveland who suggested the pro
bability of another building fund
campaign in 1967.

one of the ten organizations
“During the next week,” he said,
“we are hoping that every stu
dent will give serious considera
tion to taking part in this
important community project.”
“All organizations are encour
aged to turn in their pledge
cards by 7:00 p.m. each day in
the lobby of the SGA Building.
This will enable the Bloodmo
bile Committee to post the per
centages of participation the fol
lowing morning.” Smith conclud
ed.
Vice Chairman of the Drive,
Bobbie Ellis, announced that a
booth would be set up in the
lobby of the Classroom Building

to 1:00 p.m. She pointed out
that persons manning the booth
