NUMBER SEVENTEEN
Miss Langley is shown examining a student’s eyes. The device
in use is one commonly used to test a person’s vision. It is
one of several devices used in the Communications Laboratory.
Miss Langley^ has stated that the use of the Communications
Laboratory will be especially helpful to those students who are
going to take the National Teachers Examination.
Laboratory Can Prove
Beneficial To Students
One of the more outstanding
benefits made available to stu
dents at Atlantic Christian Col
lege this year was the instal
lation of a special Communi
cations laboratory. The labora
tory was set up with a twofold
purpose. It was designed to as
sist students who. have needs in
certain areas of communications,
and to assist students who have
a good command of communi
cations skills but might wish to
improve them.
Director of the laboratory is
Miss Tassie Ree Langley who
also serves as an instructor in
the Department of English. The
laboratory program includes in
struction in reading improve
ment, speed and comprehension.
Bill Is Passed
At 'SSL Meet
The, 1967 session of the State
Student Legislature met March
1-4 in Raleigh. The ACC delega
tion stayed at the Sir Walter
Raleigh Hotel and the legisla
tive session was also there. The
SSL usually has about 20 schools
from N. C. participating and
about 500 delegates attended.
ACC sent a nine- member dele
gation this year.
Barry Havens acted as chair
man of the delegation and was
co-authior of the Mental Health
Standards Bill with Clay Brown.
Delegates to the House were
Barry Havens, Dwight Wagner,
David Finch, with Connie Brant-
ly and Kay Antone acting as
alternates. Ray Winstead and
Sam MacPhail were Senators
and Ben Casey acted as alter
nate in the Senate.
Dwight Wagner was asked by
Mr. Franklin Freeman, past
president of the SSL, to preside
over the House during elections,
and Jerry White was asked to
be the Parlementarian in th
Senate. In addition David Finch,
Freshman Delegate was asked to
be a member of the influential
Confrence Committe.
ACC’s bill was presented and
debated in the House by Barry
Havens and was presented and
debated in the Senate by Ray
Winstead. The Bill passed in the
House with one amendi^ent and
no negative votes and it passed
the Senate with a similar amend
ment and three negative votes
The bill as presented was voted
second best small coUege bill by
the Conference Committe.
vocabulary, spelling, composition,
organization of ideas, outlining
and note - taking.
Students may refer themselves
to the laboratory, or they may
be referred by their teachers.
Students planning to take the
“National Teachers Examina
tion” may find the laboratory
extremely beneficial, especially
in the areas of vocabulary,
reading speed and comprehen
sion.
According to Miss Langley,
the first approach is to diagnose
the particular problems of stu
dents. This usually begins with
a visual screening test folowed
by formal and informal read
ing, writing and spelling tests.
If a visual problem is detected,
the student is referred to an
eye specialist. Frequently lenses
will not correct the problem and
eye exercises may be required.
In this case the specialist may
recommend eye exercises which
may be do?ie in the laboratory.
Limited facilities for this kind
of correction are available.
Miss Langley indicated that
spelling poses a very serious
problem among college students
as well as children at grammar
school level. “Through experi
ence we have found poor spell
ing may be due to a neurological
or coordination problem caused
by a student’s cross dominance
(whether he is right - handed
and left - eyed or left-handed
and right-- eyed). Some cases
of this type may be corrected
by special training techniques.”
“Spelling difficulties often be
come intensified by emotional
stress,” said Miss Langley. A
reading specialist may be re
quired to break down the bar-

Lucktenherg
Duo Praised
A very enthusiastic audience
in Howard Chapel heard a very
polished performance on Monday
evening by George Lucktenberg,
Harpsichordist and pianist, and
his wife Jerrie, a violinist. Dr.
and Mrs. Lucktenberg, who are
on the faculty of Converse Col
lege, are spending the current
school year at the University of
North Carolina, doing research
in the field of ensemble music
which made up last night’s pro
gram, presented by the College’s
Concert and Lecture Committee
Th program began with what
was possibly the most appealing
number of the entire evening, a
Sonata by Geminiani, an un
published work which has been,
among other things, the objcet
of Dr. Lucktenberg’s research
this year. Both performers dis
played a degree of technical pro-
ficincy and an understanding of
the music that placed the pro
gram on a very high artistic
ilevel. This was maintained
throughout the contemporary
work of John Boda, a piece
which exploited the tonal possi
bilities of both instruments alone
and in combination, through the
Bach Sonata, the Sonata by
Beethoven, and the Rhapsody by
the South American composer
Alberto Ginastera. Dr. Luckten
berg invited the audience to
come to the stage and examine
the two valuable and unusual in
struments, and many did so.
The harpsichord, used during the
first portion of the concert, is a
Speerhake, made for him in
Germany. Mrs. Lucktenberg’s
Stradivarius violin, an extreme
ly valuable instrument, made its
value apparent in the skilled
hands of Mrs. Lucktenberg
throughout the evening. The
beautiful tone, and the seem
ingly perfect control which she
displayed, along with the balance
in ensemble playing made the
evening a most enjoyable one.
At the close of the program, the
artists presented on encore, in
response to their appreciative
audience, a short piece by iRavel,
“Piece d’une forme Habanera.”
review a “Self-Study” conducted
by the college over the past two
years.
The Self-Study is an in-depth
investigation by members of the
college faculty and administra
tion. It covers every aspect of
the operation of the college in
cluding legal, financial, academ
ic, physical, religious, promotion
al, philosophical and procedural.
Chairman of the visiting team
will be Dr. George Christenber-
ry, dean of Woman’s College of
Georgia. Other members of the
group will be President James
E. Boyd of West Georgia Col
lege; Dr. S. M. Kennedy, vice
president for academic affairs,
Texas Technological College;
Dean J. Fincher of Samford Uni
versity; Dr. George W. Hood,
director of counseling services.
Stetson University; Gene M.
Abel, assistant librarian, Univer
sity of Tennessee Library; Doyle
M. Dillard, assistant comptrol
ler, Medical College of Georgia;
and Dr. Ray Black, chairman of
the Department of Education,
Birmingham - Southern College.
Work Study
To Be Used
The administration has an
nounced that ACC will once
again be participating in the
PACE program this summer.
PACE is a part of the college’s
Work - Study program which
is coordinated during the sum
mer months by the Commission
Services Division of the N. C.
State Board of Public Welfare.
PACE, itself, stands for Plan
for Assuring College Educations
in N. C.
Under this program the school
will be able to help about sixty
students find jobs for the sum
mer. Any student who is in need
of financial help and who doesn’t
have a job for the summer may
apply for this program. Last
year about twenty - five stu
dents worked under this plan
and they are especially encour
aged to apply again this year.
The program involves approxi
mately ten weeks of work at
either a public or private non
profit organization. The pay is
$1.25 an hour for forty hours a
week. The work starts about
June 6 and ends about the end
of August
Anyone interested in this pro
gram may apply to Mr. Adams,
