'aculty relations and also better
student-trustee relatiions. Wagner

ems and affairs, therelby creat-
ng a better understanding be-
iween aU campus organizations.

jrnment. “Deal with your rep-
fesentatives, talk with them
about your ideas, and make
mown to them your abilities
and most of aU your willingness

Dr. Wenger Delivers Address:
Emphasizes Goals Of College
By JUDY YOUNGBLOOD
The Fall Convocation of Atlan
tic Christian College was held
pctober 22nd in the New
Gym, under the direction of
Chaplain Dan Hensley, Jr. This
was the first formal activity
held in the new Wilson Gym
nasium. Dr. Arthur D. Wenger,
President of Atlantic Christian
College gave the message for
the Convocation, speaking to the
some 800 faculty members and
students in attendance. Ttie ACC
Chorus, directed by Dr. Cobb,
provided the appropriate music
for this Sixty-Fifth Convocational
Service.
Dr. Wenger spoke on the pur
poses and aims of our institution.
He stated that the building pro
gram and renovation AC is now
undergoing is analagous to the

educational experiences offered
by the college. Just as nay

ic steps of construction, (1) sight

members of our institution un

Elevator In
Big Hold Up
By MICHAEL ROACH
Look, up in the elevator. It’s
one, no it’s two, no it’s three
Hilley HaU girls. Yes, three Hil-
ley Hall girls; Chris Angel,
Brenda Jones, and Becky Col
burn, got the thrill of a lifetime.
They were the first girls to ever
be caught in the new dorm ele
vator.
At approximaely 7:00 last
Tuesday night, the three girls
proceeded to retire to their
rooms for a night of good, hard
studying. The elevator got be
tween the second and third floor
and a power failure started the
thirty minute “sit-down” on the
elevator floor.
The girls immediately pressed
the alarm button which brought
numerous students to their aid,
“Do you know any artificial res
piration?” and “How’s your air
supply?” were some of the com
mon questions which literally
brought the girls to their knees.
There was enough power to
keep the light and the fan on to
lessen the fear of the girls. By
7:30, Mr. Moore came with the
key to open the elevator doors.
The three seated figures peered
down at their large audience and
were then helped down to the
safety of the second floor.
The three girls will probably
be using the stairs instead of
the elevator for a few days un
til the memories . of their ex
perience is worn as thin
as the soles of their shoes.
God, the acceptance of change,
and the commitment of life, our
institution is able to offer “free
people capable of assisting so
ciety.”
With this message establishing
the purpose of this year’s school
term, the Sixty-Fifth Annual Con
vocation assembly was ended.
By offering capable people able
to fit the realm of society Atlan
tic Christian College establishes
itself as a reputable and knowl-
edgable institution of higher
learning.
Executive Board
Accepts Largest
Budget To Date
The SGiA Executive Board
spent a long and busy night
Monday as it held its weekly
meeting. There were several
items of business presented to
the board. However, the pro
posed budget for the coming
year required the greatest deal
of time.
iRoger Sin, the SGA Treasurer,
presented the proposed budget to
the board, and it was approved
in the following form: Bohunk,
$178.05; Campus Christian Asso
ciation, $1,1125.00; Cheerleaders,
$175.50; Freshmian: Class, $185.71;
Sophomore, $260.76; Junior, $452.-
38; Senior, $648.70.

lows: Collegiate, $3,774.50; En
tertainment Committee, ^,818.-

Board, $3,645,69; Pine Knot,
$7,782.05; Social Committee,
$675.67; Stage and Scrijpt, $2,-
246.111; with a total of $26,968.18.
The only changes made in ap
proving the proposed budget was
the addition of $75 more to the
Campus Christian Association.
This was done by subtracting
$25 from Bohuidc, Entertainment,
and Social Committees. It was
also pointed out that campus
movies would come under the
budget of the lElntertainmient
Committee whereas last year
they came under the Executive
Board budget.
In other business the board
voted to rescind a motion which
was passed last week concern
ing the Student coordinator.
The original intention of &e
motion was to amend the consti
tution so as to give the Student
Coordinator a seat and voting
power on the Board. The opinion
was expressed that such a pro
posed dhange in the Constitution
would not be passed by the
