Vietnam Still Issue
In Campus Politics
Bv JEM BUSSELL
Disagreement, words and tem-
i flared openly at Monday
S's meeting of the E^^utive
Board over a letter fent to the
Erd from a student request
ing permission to display liter-
ie supporting America s stand
in Vietnam. . ,
Frank Harper, a senior, had
written a letter statmg his de
sire to display the literature in
L lobby of Hines HaU Tuesday
Sough Friday. In the letter
iarper said that the display
would open two petitions to the
Itudents. that of the campus
awareness committee and a sup-
Bort of our position in Vietnam
^ew He went on to state m
the letter that the display would
also provide “the opportunity to
the presidents of the Young
Republicans Club, Young Demo
crats Club and Young Americans
for Freedom to display literature
telling about their organizations.”
Insult
“I take this as a personal
insult,” exclaimed Bobby Dunn,
member of the Campus Aware
ness Committee and Day Stu
dent President, after the letter
had been presented before the
Board. “I met with the man per-
sonaily, and I don’t see the
relevance of this at all!”
Of the absent Harper, Student
Government President Doug Dex
ter stated: “He (Harper) either
miiunderstands the purpose of
the committee, (Campus Aware
ness Committee), he mistrusts
the committee or we have some
thing personal here.” Dexter
went on to say, “It used to be
the administration that was call
ed ‘them,’ now it is Barry
(Havens) and his committee
(Campus Awareness).”
Objection
Dunn objected to the letter be
cause the display would include
literature of the Young Ameri
cans for Freedom: “We cannot
place our sanction on this re-

the issue over America’s in-
rtav remains a lively issue on campus. Mon-
or s„^xecutive Board meeting left an aura of mystery
around the Campus Awareness Committee and left Board mem-
bers even more confused over campus war displays.

The days of walking by that
splendid mass of concrete and
steel between Hardy Dining Hall
and Hackney are soon to be by
gone. The Atlantic Christian Col
lege Student Center is about to
become a long-awaited reality.
The center should open shortly
after the Christmas holidays ac
cording to Mrs. Nan Herndon,
Program Director for the Stu
dent Center, The only holdup
now would be a shipping delay.
Otherwise everything is ready
for the green light.
The new student center will
include a game room with Ping-
Pong tables, pool tables, a color
television, and various table
games. This room should have a
capacity of about 70-80 people.
Downstairs with the game room
will e the snackar, bookstore,
post office, and offices for stu-

The Editor of the “New Ex
ponent” campus publication of
Tennessee Wesleyan College, has
written to the Collegiate to find
out how Atlantic Christian’s cha
pel system is set up. It seems
that the students up there dis
like their compulsory chapel sys
tem. Sounds familiar, doesn’t
it? Do you have any sug
gestions as to how we should
reply to their letter?

Grin?
Yes, it always happens on that
particular day each year. Some
don’t get this while others don’t
get that. You just have to grin
and bare it and was there a lot
of grinning on Wednesday.
Registration is held in the gym
because it is a campus wide ath
letic conference. Students line up
at the door ready to present
the “time card” and begin the
race to the finish. Back and forth
the contestants go, picking up
this, signing that, and all the
while hoping to be the winner
for his tune group.

dent personnel. The dining hall
will occupy the upper level.
The center will provide not on
ly a meeting place but an organ
ized program of recreation for
the student body. Mrs. Herndon
and the Bohunk Committee hope
to have tournaments, coffee hours
and special guests scheduled. The
weekday hours will be from
9-10:30 p.m. with an 11 p.m.
closing hour on weekends. Mrs.
Herndon stated, “We are looking
forward to the opening of the
student center and to the estab
lishment of a program that will
be of interest to our student
body.”
Months of anticipation are
about to reach their climax. This
new addition to our campus
should be a welcome spot for
fellows with flat pocketbooks
by providing a delightful but in
expensive date. Everyone hold
on for the final countdown, it
should be well worth the wait.
Atlantic Christian College of
ficials have been notified of the
continuation of its accreditation
for a 10 year period by the
Southern Association of Colleges
and Schools. The announcement
came at a meeting of the as
sociation held in Dallas, Tex.
earlier this week.
The action was a result of a
“Self Study” conducted by the
college over a period of two
years and a campus visit by a
group of noted educators. The
educators held a series of con
ferences, interviewed members of
the college community and re
viewed the “Self Study.”
The Self Study was an in-
depth investigation by members
of the college faculty and admin
istration. It covered every aspect
of the operation of the college
including legal, financial, aca
demic, physical, religious, pro
motional, philosophical and pro
cedural.
Atlantic Christian’s program of
teacher education was fully ap
proved and accredited by the
N. C. State Board of Education
under the board’s new approach
to certification of public school
teachers in 1965. The college has
been approved under the old stae
system for a number of years.
In 1966, the college received
accreditation from the National
Council on Accreditation for
Teacher Education (NCATE) in
the highest category of national
accreditation from the agency.
