Promises Mark Fresh
Campaign Speeches
By CARL TVER
I “If I am elected, I wOl uphold
the duties of president to the
best of my ability. I will do all
in my power to make this the
best year yet. Your student gov-
semment is only as good as you
make it.” And so went the frosh
^campaign speeches held on Sep-
;|ember 26, in Howard Chapel.
‘Eleven speeches were given by
he candidates for president and
senator, and only “twice” did
anything said make sense.
The chapel was full of in
terested freshmen, who came to
sign the attendance slips. The
chapel was also full of phrases
such as, “I held the offices of
president of this and that, and
therefore I am qualified to hold
the office I am running for.”

legislative pride, the Executive
Board of the Student Govern
ment Association, held its first
meeting of the 1967-68 year on
Monday, Sept. 25.
The meeting was highlighted
by the unanimous disapproval of
President Doug Dexter’s plan to
establish a general fund for the
budget.
Under the new plan, all money
which was not used by various
organizations during the academ
ic year was to be returned to
the general fund. Supposedly the
general fund would assure full
utilization of allotted funds. Af
ter thorough confusion in the dis
guise of discussion, Dexter's di
lemma was voted down.
The Campus Awareness Com
mittee was allotted $400 from
the Executive Board budget on
the condition that all money left
unused should be returned to
the Board.

Congestion
Is Problem
The 1967 Atlantic Christian
Homecoming Parade has been
quite a disputed topic over the
past two weeks. The dispute has
involved administration, faculty,
alumni, as well as students.
The annual parade, held tradi
tionally on Saturday morning of
the Homecoming weekend had
virtually been cancelled this year.
The Homecoming steering Com
mittee had announced that their
search for an available ware
house, which would house float
construction, had been to no
avail.
Due to a tobacco backup in
the Wilson warehouses, the floors
of the houses would still be flood
ed with bright leaf well past the
Nov. 11 date set for Homecoming.
By Tuesday night the outlook
was dark and an announcement
from the administration had been
sent to the Collegiate stating that
the parade would, of necessity,
be cancelled.
However, this morning, word
was received at the Collegiate
from the administration that two
possible warehouses had been lo
cated which would house the float
construction. By our printing
deadline this had not yet been
made official. But, according to
Zeb Whitehurst, director of alum
ni activities, the warehouses had
been contacted and the two could
house construction of the parade.

Co-eds at a small, Christian,

quite evident from a cursory
dance at our ACC puritanical
girls.
“Our” girls can be seen going
to their respective classes in
purely respectable fashion —
voluminous skirts, yard after
yard of flowing materials, and
mazes of high - buttoned shoes.
It is a common sight to spy
several toting their umbrellas to
and from classes as they vamly
protect themselves from the tan
ning rays of the sun.
The skirts, as evidenced in our
accompanying photographs,

lengthy skirts sweep the floors
