Bulldogs Are
Given Award
The annual Athletic Awards
Day was held WcKlnesday, May
5. This day is w'hen awards are
given to the outstanding ACC’s
inter-collegiate athletes.
This year’s Outstanding Athlete
Award went to Larry Jones, a
member of both the basketball
and track teams. Larry not only
received the school’s outstanding
Athlete Award, but he also re
ceived the school’s outstanding
Athlete Award, but he also re
ceived an award for being the
outstanding member of this
year’s baseketball team.
Other’s to win the P. E. Club
award for being the outstanding
member of their individual
teams were: George Miller
for baseball, Wayne Byrum for
golf, Ray Stallings for tennis,
and Charles Hooks for track.
Besides the presentation of
these awards each member of
the different teams received an
award based upon his number
of years of participation. First
year men received a certificate
and an ACC letter, second year
men received an ACC sweater,
third year men received an
ACC blanket, and fourth year
men received a plaque. Only
two men received plaques and
these were Freddy Hale for
baseball and Alton Hill for bas

coats were presented to certain
faculty and administration of
ficials for their outstanding sup
port of the athletic teams. These
recipeints were Chaplain Hensley,
Dr. Allen Sharp, Mr. Adams, and
Mr. Cloyd.
An added attraction to this
assembly was the Atlantic Chris
tian College Band.
reach a decision as to what
specific changes should be made.
‘In taking the preceding action
the Student Life Committt'e con
sidered the public relations of
the College, the relationship of
the College to the church, and
was concerned with the question
of ‘at what times and under what
circumstances a student is a
student and to what extent the
College can regulate the conduct
and behavior of students?’ The
Committee was of the belief that
trustees, faculty, parents, alum
ni, administrators, students, and
church officials, should jointly en
ter into the discussion of the
drinking issue. In essence, the
committee was unable to roach
a decision due to the many im
plications that this bill has for
the welfare of the total college
community.
‘On behalf of the committee,
I would like to express our con
cern for the resolving of this
willingness to participate in any
problem and to indicate our
willingness to participate in any
dialogue w ith other groups
that may be later involve<i.”
Following the reading of this
letter Ray Winstead, chairman
of the elections committee, re
ported on last week’s election.
He noted that only one hun
dred and forty-thrcH; students
voted in the election. Both pro
posed amendments failed to gan
the needed two-thirds-majority
which were netxied in order for
them to pass.
Next on the agenda was a mo
tion to have the Executive Board
of 19()()-fi7 give the President of
the SGA the right to apiwint
any committees he deems nec
essary with the approval of
the board.
Standing committee chairmen
and committee members were
appointed and approved by the
board.
Students Defeat
2 Amendments
Last Thursday, the student
body voted on two amendments
to the Student Government As
sociation Constitution. The first
amendment concerned the right
of the President to appoint com
mittees wich “he deems neces
sary to perform the functions of
the Student Government Associa
tion. . . subject to approval by
the Executive Board.” Tte sec
ond amendment dealt with the
appointments of the Editors and
Business Managers of “The Col
legiate” and “The Pine Knot.”
Both amendments failed to
gain the needed two thirds ma
jority to pass. The first amend
ment, dealing with the appoint
ment of committees, had ninety-
two in favor and fifty-one op
posed (lacking only two votes for
passage); and the second amend
ment faUed with forty-nine in
favor and ninety-four opposed.
Notice
If you are interested in
working on the annual staff
for next year, but haven’t
known how to go about of
fering your services — here’s
what to do. A “staff” meet
ing will be held in the SGA
building at 4:00 on Monday,
May 16, at which time the
new editor, Janie McCor
mick, will present some of
the ideas for next year’s
book. If you have the time
and energy to devote, and
the willingness to work,
there may well be a place
for you on the Pine Knot
Staff, so why not come see?
Previous experience is de
sirable, but not necessary.
