Dedication Ceremony
“Tams” Ai*e Discussed
At Exec Board Meeting
The “Tams,” a musical group,
which played in concert on the
ACC campus Friday night was
the subject of considerable dis
cussion during Monday night’s
Executive Board meeting. It was
reported to the Board that the
“Tams” broke into a locker in
the faculty dressing room of the
Wilson Gym which was made
available for their use, used a
pair of tennis shorts they found
there for a shoe shine rag, left
beer cans lying around, and in
general left the room in consid
erable disarray. They also dam
aged the stage which was used
for the concert. This was caused
by a special type of shoe they
were wearing. The Boad in dis-
SEVERALi HUNDRED PERSONS—Were prese.nt Nov. 5 for the dedication of ACC’s three newest
buildings. The dedication ceremony was just one of the events of this year’s homecoming. For

Homecoming Filled With
Work^ Happiness.^ Sadness
By DIANE TUNNELL
Homecoming is again a mem
ory, but many things remain to
be said about it. Actually, home
coming began many weeks ago
in plans of homecoming can
didates, voting, boards, tacks,
and napkins. All those tired peo
ple who ripped the interior of
their cars up with those huge
boxes of napkins still probably
feel that everything said in this
article is an understatement.
Behind all the original collegi
ate floats you saw went a great
deal of work and, of course,
great fun. You can be sure that
somewhere out in the cold of a
warehouse many busy fingers
worked diligently trying to cover
yards upon yards of chicken
wire with multi-colored napkins.
From experience, let the records
show that many people had
dreams filled with visions of
“pinkness,” “blueness,” and oth
ers after finally resting their
weary heads early Saturday
morning. Several really indus
trious people did not sleep at
all Friday night. This was pret
ty evident by the dark circles
beneath their eyes Saturday. As
a result of all the effort, Atlantic
Christian had one of the most
successful parades ever.
Saturday was indeed a busy
day. Early Saturday morning.
Veterans Stend
Monthly Cards
Note to veterans - in - college
— treat your attendance cards
like money in the bank, accord
ing to W. R. Phillips, Manager
of the Winston-Salem VA Region
al Office. Sending them to the
Veterans Administration will
bring a check back to you.
For the month of September
only, however, the VA sent pay
ments after receiving just the col
leges’ verification of enrollment.
Colleges should have submitted
this after receiving from veter
ans two copies of their Certifi
cate of Eligibility, obtained from
Regional VA offices.
If their payments for Septem
ber are delayed, veterans ^ould
see that their schools have veri
fied their enrollment to the VA.
At the end of October, veter
ans should have mailed their
certifications of attendance for
the month of October to the VA.
The VA will then send payments
to veterans November 20. This
procedure must be followed each
succeeding month.
cars were lined up on Lee Street
awaiting their charges. Each
held one member of the home
coming court and many pretty
flowers. Though it may have
seemed impossible, somehow all
those cars, floats, and bands fin
ally were blended into a well-
organized parade. The theme of
“ACC TV PARADE” came
through loud and clear as such
floats as Gunsmoke, The Flint-
stones, and Petticoat Junction
came by.
It is amazing how quickly
something long planned can slip
by when it arrives. Soon the
parade was history and a busy
day took shape. Saturday was
filled with special dinner, joy
ful reunions of friends, and new
friendships begun. Alumni again
walked the campus of their alma
mater, when and if they could
find their way amidst the new
buildings. The information booth
was indeed a good idea for
Homecoming 1967. Perhaps the
most asked question was in con
nection with that gigantic “Min
ing operation” in progress next
to the cafeteria. Thankfully m
alumni were reported lost in it.
Something new was started
this year which may become a
tradition at Atlantic Christian.
The Junior class had as its proj
ect the selling of white chrysan
themum and blue ribbon cor
sages. They indeed added to the
spirit of the weekend. Thanks
must be given to all who partic
ipated in this effort.
Saturday night featured .the
varsity - alumni game and
dances. The gym was full of
spectators. The dances after
wards in the cafeteria and class
room building were also well at
tended. As midnight approached
many weary feet and drooping
eyes headed for home.
Sunday brought the transfor
mation of floats to “great white
elephants.” Floats must be tom
down; this is a fact of life.

Monday
Although contrary to the
thoughts and wishes of many,
classes will begin after the
Thanksgiving recess on Monday
Nov. 28, at 8 a.m. The confu
sion concerning the date of re
suming classes was brought
about by a mistake in the col
lege calendar. Thanksgiving re
cess will begin on Tuesday, Nov.
22, at 10 p.m.

cussing this matter seemed to
feel there is no way to make the
Tams pay for the damage.
For the purpose of getting the
reaction of the SGA President
concerning this incident, and in
order that the students might
know what action is being taken
to prevent actions such as this
from happening in the future,
we interviewed Dwight Wagner
SGA President. Mr. Wagner said,
“I feel that it is most unfortu
nate that an otherwiss wonder
ful Homecoming should be
marred by the disgusting con
duct of the Tams while they
were on our campus. To say
that they imposed on our good
will and our attempts to treat
them well is an understatement.
The damage which they did to
the stage will cost an unneces
sary expense to be repaired. But
we also have suffered in our
public relations with the com
munity since it was a borrowed
stage that we were using.
Despite the fact that the new
Faculty Dressing Room was
made available for their use,
the Tams maliciously cluttered
the room with beer cans and oth
er trash and broke into the lock
er of a faculty member destroy
ing a new pair of tennis shorts.
It is obvious that this was done
without the least bit of considera
tion for anyone or anything.
As a result of this incident the
Entertainment Committee is
sending a letter to the booking
agency from whom the Tams
were obtained, asking for assis
tance in collecting damage ex
penses. A second letter will be
sent to the music union that the
Tams might belong to. Also,
the Executive Board has consid
ered this situation and may feel
that it is necessary to adopt a
resolution on this matter.”
During the meeting a motion
was also passed requesting the
SGA president to ask the Day
Students to help the Mental
Health Association coordinate
Operation Santa Claus. This is a
state - wide project in which
groups collect money and gifts to
give to patients in mental in
stitutions.
MID-TERM—One again brought students face to face with the
ever present evil—the mid-term exam, and to quote one of ouf
faculty members they found that there is “nothing like a cold
hard fact”.
