ATLANTIC CHRISTIAN COLLEGE, FEBRUARY 23, 1967
NUMBER FIFTEEN
Conduct Rule Changed By Trustees
NSA Topic
Of Concern
The National Student Associa
tion and its relationship to the
Central Intelligence Agency was
a subject of discussion at this
week’s SGA Executive Board
meeting.
SGA President, Dwight Wagner,
stated that he felt the Board
needed to ask how this affects
students at ACC. ACC is a mem
ber of NSA, but as was stated
by Wagner the relationship has
been limited for at least the last
two years. “We are on their
mailing list and we take advant
age of certain of their publica
tions,” said Wagner.
In looking at NSA and the con
troversy that now surrounds this
organization Wagner could see
no reason why ACC should
change its status with NSA. How
ever, he did state that there had
been a weakness of NSA lead
ers in the past in not informii^g
the colleges about such situations
as the one involving the CIA. He
also stated that all relationships
with the CIA have now been
cut by NSA.
Barry Havens, Student Coordi-
antor, reported that ACC will
be sending a delegation to the
State Student Legislature on
March 1, 2, 3, 4. The bill which
ACC will present to the Legisla
ture is directed at improving
the ratio of qualified medical
and rehabilitation personnel to
that of patients in mental hospi
tals in North Carolina. The dele
gates who will be going to SSL
are; Barry Havens, Dwight Wag
ner, Ray Winstead, Jerry White,
Ben Casey, Kay Antone, Connie
Brantley, Judy Youngblood, Da
vid Finch. The Board ap
propriated $350 to pay the ex
penses of the delegation.
On March 12, 13, 14, 15, offi
cials from the Southern Associa
tion will be on campus for the
purpose of making a reevalua
tion of the college. This is the
second time in its history that
the college has been under such
a study by the Southern Associa
tion, according to the Dean of
Students who reported on this
matter. He stated that the first
was in 1956. He also stated that
the officials would hold a lunch-

Resolution
On Vietnam
At the monthly meeting of the
Christian Service Workshop a
resolution was adopted on the
conduct of Christians in time of
war, Sam McPhail, worship
chairman, stated “that the reso
lution was passed in the interest
of clarity, hoping that as it was
read by churchmen and interest
ed persons, it would stimulate
frank and forthright discussing
concerning the real issues
in warfare.” The resolution re
ceived unanimous approval. The
resolution is as follows;
We the members of the Chris
tian Service Workshop of Atlan
tic Christian College enter the
following statement in the inter
est of clarity and conscience in
a complex and contradictory
world situation.
Whereas we have observed the
frequent public statements made
by laymen and professional cler
gymen supporting the current
hostilities in Southeast Asia on
the basis of defending the Chris
tian faith.
WHEREAS we have heard the
Bible quoted as an authoritative
basis for the legalized murder of
warfare, and,
WHEREAS we have noted the
tendency to equate the existing
political systems with Christiani
ty and the sanctioning of the

Advance 'Fee

ing the advance fee of $50 by
students, either new or return

Capote include OTHER VOICES,
OTHER ROOMS and BREAK
FAST AT TIFFANY’S.
The GRASS HARP was pro
duced on Broadway at the Mar
tin Beck Theater in 1952, as the
first dramatic work of Capote.
Sam Brooks Atkinson (New York
TIMES): “A beautiful play. . .
the most creative contribution of
the season.”
According to Atkinson, “In the
first section of the play Mr.
Capote is writing with an origi-
anl, off-beat humor that seems
completely irresponsible. It has
been gathered out of his va
grant memories and turned into
comedy. But he has something
more than a frolic in mind. For
the greater part of THE GRASS
HARP is an idyll about the pure
in heart who, like the meek, in
herit the earth. All the common
impulses of the world are against
the trio who find sanctuary in
the tree house. The avaricious
sister is outraged. The whole
town is shocked and angry, and
an armed posse invades the
woods to capture the traitors to
society and march them back
to civilization. One of the deputy
sheriffs, doing his duty, shoots
the youth and wounds him. But
THE GRASS HARP, being pure
in heart itself, shows how much
stronger the people of spirit are
than the people of cant, discip
line and selfishness. Their tri-

Over-cuts
The faculty voted last week
to recommend to the Board of
Trustees that students no longer
be academically penalized for
over-cutting required chapel and
assembly. If the Board accepts
this recommendation then they
will also be responsible for de
ciding what type of penalty will
be given for over-cuts. The
faculty’s recommendation does
not have the intention of doing
away with required chapel and
assembly. It is only an attempt
to have the penalty for over
cuts non academic in nature.
The faculty also voted down a
proposal to change the academic
calendar. The pronosed change
involved starting the fall semes
ter earlier and finishing it be
fore Christmas.
3-D Concert
Is Planned
The 3 D’s — a rising new vocal
instrumental trio will present a
unique kind of entertainment
March 1 at 8;00 p.m. in Wilson
Gym as part of A. C. C. con
certs. The show is called the
3 D’s present The 3 R’s —
Rhyme, Rhythm and Reason.”
Comedy, drama, music and
rhythm are combined to show
case some of the world’s best
loved literature. Dimension and
diversity are the order of the
night with something for every
one. The pounding of cannon and
thunder of hoof of the “Light
Brigade,” the triumphant march
home with the head of Lewis
Carrol’s Jabberwocky and the pa
thetic swoosh of Casey’s third
strike will be among the high
lights of the show.
The trio records for Capitol
and has been called by the com
pany “one of the most creative
groups in years.” In addition to
this original material the 3 D’s
will present their versions of
favorites from the world of pop,
blues, folk and semi-classical mu
sic. For accompaniment in their
tw^o - hour concert, the 3 D’s

jos, a bass fiddle, conga drum
and bongos, trumpet, piano and
sometimes melophone, harmonica

the hallmark of the 3 D’s con
cert.

Duane Hiatt are the 3 D’s (hence
the name.)
Noted Educator

Dr. William D. Sheldon, pro
fessor of education at Syracuse

guished lecturers of the National
Council of Teachers of English
for 1967, will speak at Atlantic
Christian College, on March 16,
in Howard Chapel at 7:30 p. m.
The public is invited.
His lecture is entitled “Basic
Issues in the Teaching of Read
ing.” Local chairman of ar
rangements is Dr. Mildred E.

Department of English.

oratory and chairman of the Im
provement of Learning Program.

The National Council of Teach
ers of English, with headquar
ters in Champaign, Illinois, has
underwritten the cost of the
Distinguished Lecture Program
to strengthen the teaching of
English in small colleges and
nonurban school districts. Lec
turers are sent, upon approval
of application from institutions,
to colleges and schools away

are inappropriate to this stand
ard and will not be tolerated.
Hazing in any form, academic
dishonesty, and unbecoming be
havior are forbidden under any
circumstance or situation. Penal
ties for violations of these regula
tions may be severe, up to and
including suspension from the
college.’
This change is a major one in
that the rule in the past has
stated that; “It is contrary to
both the spirit and purpose of
the college to gamble to drink
intoxicants, or to be involved in
unbecoming behavior. Students
are expected to follow p r o c e-
dures of academic honesty in all
areas of academic pursuit. All
offenders in these regards will
be subject to disciplinary action
by the College Discipline and
Morale Committee.
By a resolution of the Board
of Trustees, hazing in any form
is forbidden.”
This change had been under
study for a long time, having
been iniated by the SGA Execu
tive Board last fall.
Previous to the business meet
ing where this change was made
the Trustees attending a lunch
eon to which the SGA Execu
tive Board and the editor of
The Collegiate were invited.
This is the first time any such
coming together of the two
boards has occurred.
At the luncheon Dwight Wag
ner, SGA president, spoke brief
ly to the group. He attempted to
indicate some of the areas with
which this year’s Executive
Board had dealt. He also stated
that he felt a major accomplish
ment had been made with the
coming together of the two
groups.
Mr. T. J. Hackney Jr., Chair
man of the Board of IVustees,
stated tiiat he hoped this kind
of thing would be continued in the
future, and he also said that
he felt the Trustees could be
proud of the type of students
that attend Atlantic Christian
College.
