Dr. Wenger Speaks
On Chapel Program
Dr. Wenger, president of ACC,
attended Monday night's SGA
Executive Board meeting, and
discussed some of the aspects of
Required Chapel and read to the
Board a proposal which he had
drawn up which states certain
assumptions and attempts to
clarify some bf the terms that
are concerned with this area.
The proposal reads:
CHAPEL AND ASSEMBLIES
(A Proposal For Study)
During the current academic
year lively attention has been
focused on the College’s policy
of required chapel attendance.
Discussion, both formal and in
formal, has taken place in all
areas of our academic commu
nity including students, faculty,
administration and trustees.
Surveys of student opinion
have been conducted. Commit
tees have considered various al
ternatives, none of which have
resolved the issue. The Educa
tion Committee of the Board of
Trustees presented a proposal for
changes in policy regarding
chapel attendance to the Febru
ary, 1967 meeting of the Board.
Definite action was not taken.
Instead, the Board instructed the
Administrative Council to bring
a recommendation to the May
meeting of the Board.
It is important that any pro
posal which is made take into
account the fundamental issues
involved and, most important of
all, the relationship of chapel
and assemblies to the aims and
objectives of the College.
This, then, is an attempt to
identify the basic factors and
to state basic assumptions which
may be generally accepted as
valid.
It is hoped that discussions of
this matter among appropriate
individuals and groups may be
helpful to the Administrative
Council in preparing its recom
mendation for the Board of Trus
tees.
It must be realized that the
administration of any “ideal”
solution to this question,'if there
is one, will have to prove work
able within the various unavoid
able limitations within which we
must work.
I. Assumptions
The following assumptions are
offered for consideration:
1. From the date of its found
ing, Atlantic Christian College
has emphasized the pivotal im
portance of providing for its
students the kind of an educa
tional experience designed to
bring the student into confron
tation with religion as an im
portant dimension of liberal
learning.
2. Elements in its program
through which the College has
sought to provide such confron
tation have included required
and elective courses in religion,
required chapel and voluntary
association of students in clubs,
organizations and societies with
religious orientation. In addition,
there has been an attempt to
provide an academic and intel
lectual climate conducive to the
development of wholesome re
ligious perspectives. '
3. Religion on the Atlantic
Christian Colege campus is seen
as an integral part of the unity

Presentation Set
For ^Canticle IF
Canticle II (Abraham and
Isaac), a work by the con
temporary British composer Ben
jamin Britten will be presented
on April 26. This is a modern
concert version of a medieval
mystery play, for tenor, con
tralto and piano. The perfor
mance will be given by Mr. and
Mrs. Charles Rakow and Dr.
James V. Cobb, Jr. All students
and faculty are invited to at
tend this Music Seminar meet
ing. This meeting will be held
in the Choral Room of the Mu
sic building at 4:00 p. m.
Last Official Meet Is
Held By Exec. Board
The 1966-67 Student Govern
ment Executive Board held its
last official meeting on Monday
night. As has been true with
most of their other meetings
this one had its share of busi
ness and discussion.
One of the major highlights
of the meeting was a presenta
tion by Dr. Wenger, president of
the college, concerning chapel.
He threw out several ideas and
assumptions concerning chapel
which he asked the board" to
consider. He said that what he
was trying to do was to “send
up a trial balloon”.
He also responded to a ques
tion dealing with required chapel
by saying that, “the most fruit
ful kind of worship experience
takes place in a voluntary situa
tion. However, this does not say
this can not happen at required
or formal worship services.” He
also said, “it is also something
less than ideal in thinking stu
dents will worship just because

mitory Association, the Inter-

en’s Dormitory Council are:

Awards
Several trophies were award
ed to the sororities and fraterni
ties at the end of Greek Week.
An IFC release listed last week
the fraternities that won awards.
The sororities to win awards
were: Sigma Sigma Sigma for
scholarship. Phi Mu for Talent,
Sigma Sigma Sigma for Stunt,
Phi Mu for Sing. Delta Zeta was
recognized as having the highest
scholastic average among the
sororities’ pledge classes.
they are brought together in one
group. Therefore, if programs
were broken down into other
categories besides “chapel” then
it might be possible to have
voluntary worship services.”
He expressed a different feel
ing about assemblies by saying,
“through college assemblies we
are trying to extend what is
happening in the classroom. We
don’t make attendance at classes
optional. A student is academi
cally penalized when he misses
too many classes, therefore, at
tendance at college assemblies
should be required and students
should be penalized if they over
cut.”
He noted that the faculty has
voted to do away with the
academic penalty on required
chapel. “However, if this is done
our whole system dealing with
chapel would need to be re
studied,” he said. He also said
that, “I feel that an academic
penalty is needed for these as
semblies because through them
we are trying to do the same
thing we are doing in the class
room.”
He also felt departmental
meetings should be required be
cause of the great amount of
important information that is
given to the students at these
meetings.
However, he said that because
of the many and varied student
assemblies and because of the
great diversity in student in
terest certain student assemblies
might be optional.
He pointed out that these were
only his thoughts and that there
are many others concerning the
area of Required Chapel.
The Exec. Board voted to
sponsor an intramural College
Bowl, and to appropriate $15 for
a trophy which will be present
ed to the winner. Ray Winstead
has been in charge of setting
this up and will serve as chair
man of the event. He said that
the tentative dates for the event
are May 8 and 10. Mr. Purcell
has agreed to write to the
faculty and ask them to submit
questions for the event. It was
noted that the College Bowl will
be set up along the same or
ganizational lines as are the in
tramural athletics.
Rhett White reported on a Con
ference on China which he and
Dwight Wagner attended last
weekend. The conference was
held at Harvard University and
lasted three days. A program
is scheduled to be held April
