Orientation of the 1967 fresh
man class began on Tuesday,
Sept. 5, when resident freshmen
descended on ACC’s campus full
force.
They were met by a team of
enthusiastic upperclassmen, who
were full of energy and antici
pation as the first freshmen ar
rived, but as the hours wore on
they became more and more
weary, and less enthusiastic.
That evening marked the first
group activity of the Orientation
Week, when John Day and “The
Other Side” — a newly formed
campus folk group — entertain
ed in a folk concert.
•On Wednesday morning all
freshmen reported to Howard
Chapel to be briefed on registra
tion procedures and to be official
ly introduced and welcomed to
the ACC campus. Following the
assembly they broke up into
small groups and met with their
advisors to begin the ordeal of
registration and to be informed
about academic regulations.
The task was completed in the
afternoon, and the freshmen re
ceived a welcome rest in the
evening when the movie “Cha-
Arnold Has
Art Showing
The art gallery in the Case
Art Building has opened this year
with a one - man exhibition by
Prof. Russell W. Arnold. It will
be the first in a series of art
shows which will appear during
the academic year.
Arnold is possibly one of the
best nationally known artists from
this area. He reputation as a
painter has been established for
many years. A well-known teach
er, many of his former students
have won recognition as artists,
art directors and college profes
sors.
With the exception of two years,
Arnold has been in all of the
North Carolma Artist Annuals at
the North Carolina Museum of
Art since 1951. During this period
he won five top awards.
Other shows he has been in in-
rade” was presented in Howard
Chapel.
Bright And Early
Bright and early Thursday
morning freshmen began to file
into the gymnasium to complete
registration by picking up their
class cards, filling out the end
less number of cards and form.s,
and standing in the long line
to have I. D. pictures made.
For those who were fortunate
enough to finish before night,
the remainder of the day was
“In the Vietnam war we must
choose not to believe Christ or
to believe Him and try His
Way,” the Rev. Jack Crum of
Raleigh told ACC students and
area citizens in a Hines Hall
“Negotiation Now” meeting
Thursday, Sept. 14.
“Negotiation Now” is a self
proclaimed “national citizens
campaign for responsible yiitia-
tives to end the war in Viet
nam” which is seeking a mil
lion signatures from citizens
across the nation to be present
ed to President Lyndon John
son. Crum told the 47 attend
ing people at the meeting that
the signatures on the “Negotia
tion Now” petition would “en
able, or prompt the President
to hasten negotiation over the
Vietnam war.”
Rev. Crum, who is director
of Christian Social Action of the
N. C. Council of Churches, seem
ingly took several positions on
how Christians and Americans
should react to the Southeast
Asian conflict.
At one point he declared,
“Peace comes when men love
each other. . .loving the Com
munists is the best way to
bring them closer to us. . .we
must choose not to believe Christ
or to believe Him and try His
way.”
Somewhat later, however,
Crum told the audience “most
of us feel violence sometimes is
a necessary prelude to an abun
dant life. . .often it is through
violence that we learn.”
He told the group that “Nego-
free until the denominational
meetings that evening sponsored
by the individual churches.
The only scheduled activity for
Friday was a film strip for the
purpose of getting the freshmen
acquainted with the idea of col
lege life.
One entitled “Your First Week
at College” was intended to in
form the freshman of what to
expect from college life, and the
tiation Now” rejects the “Bomb
them now and get it over with
theory. That would bring us into
a war with China.” The organi
zation also “rejects the unilater
al withdrawal theory and escala
tion.”
He stated that certain actions
should be taken by the United
States to end the war;
1—The U.S. should announce a
unilateral cease fire and should
not fire unless fired upon.
2—The U.S. should request and
solicit aid from United Nations
Secretary General U. Thant in
seeking negotiation with North
Vietnam; and the U.S. should
announce readiness to negotiate
with the North Vietnamese and
the Liberation front.
3—The United States should be
willing to abide by the results
of a free and internationally con
trolled election.
4—We should announce a guar-
