Santa knew what we wanted for Christmas; But, we guess, he just couldn’t figure out how to wrap the darn thing! Oh
well, it’s the thought that counts — Merry Christmas!

By CLAY BROWN
'On Monday ni^t December
11, the Atlantic Christian Col
lege Student Government Assoc
iation approved the constitution
of K Gamma Mu, a National
Honorary Social Studies Society.
The Pi Gamma Mu constitu
tion was formulated because of
a desire among a number of
social studies students and fac
ulty members to encourage a
professional atmosphere among
social science majons.
Previously, on Nov. 14, 27 stu
dents were contacted for mem
bership into Pi Gamma Mu.
Qualification requirements for
membership into Pi Gamma Mu
are a “B” average in the major
areas of social studies. It is
hoped that this society will add
incentive to the remaining social
studies majors in order that
they too may be accepted into
the society.
Officers and advisors were
elected on Nov. 16. The elected
officers are: Rhett White, pres
ident; Arthur Dunn, vice-presi-
dent; Kathy Chastain, secre
tary; and Byron Wyndham, trea
surer. Mrs. Sara B. Gattis and
Dr. Robert Delp were elected
advisors. Both Mrs. Gattis and
Dr. Delp are previous charter
members of Pi Gamma Mu.

bers, contingent upon the grant
ing of a charter from Pi Gam
ma Mu, are; Faculty; Dr. Rob

Once again the trials an tribu
lations of Frank Harper and
The Campus Awareness Com
mittee became the focal point
of the SGA as it held its last
meeting of 1967. Harper, on be
half of an “organizing com

a request to the student legisla
ture. Both documents contained
the signatures of approximately
50 students.
tThe petition expressed the de
sire that the campus Awareness

the low cost, we expect an In

On Tuesday, December 5 at
7 p.m. the Second Annual
Dance Festival was held in the
New Wilson Gymnasium. It was
open to the ACC student body
and faculty for an hour and
a half of entertainment.
A variety of folk dances in
cluding round dances, Schot-
tische, Varsouvienne and Mix
ers were performed. The stu
dents of the Methods Class con
sisting of PE minors and ma
jors taught and demonstrated
the different dances using the
folk and ballroom dance classes.
The audience was asked to par
ticipate in some of the dances.
The contemporary dance class
offered some special numbers.
Among these were a modern
version of Petticoat Junction
and two jazz numbers, “Keep
the Ball Rolling,” and “Across
the Street.”
Impressive
The most impressive dance
was “Keep the Ball Rolling.”
The dancers, dressed in black
leotards, held white balls
throughout the number. Accord
ing to Mrs, Jeffries the favorite
of the audience was “Teton
Mountain Stomp” because it
gave the ACC students a chance
to stomp.
the subject of the group’s re
quest.
“We don’t want to be as
sociated with their (the CAC’s)
opinion or their viewpoint” was
Harper’s arguement in favor of
a proJVietnam display through
the sanction of the Exec. Board.
“We feel there are other proper
channels to go through.” Harper
told the SGA that the campus
was ignorant of CAC’s function.
Therefore they associate the
committee with its members. He
repeated that his group was not
an organization, but a number
of students voicing opinion.
Bobby Dunn, day-student pre
sident and member of the CAC,
answered Harper by stating, “If
we vote in favor of Mr. Harper,
we may as well disband the
CAC. . .“we are taking away
the role of the CAC.”
Ross Albert pointed out to
Harper that by making his re
quest he was in effect denying
the Campus Awareness Com
mittee the opportunity to show
the student body it was willing
to present both sides of the argu
ment. Albert also pointed out
that same students can’t under
stand why the CAC is waiting
for someone to initiate a pro-
Vietnam program, when it pre
sented the opposition readily.
After prolonged debate which
actually accomplished nothing
but utter chaos the question was
put to vote. Of course, there
was a brief time out to see
what Robert’s Rules said about
the situation. Then with Mr,
Purcell’s memorable quote -^“A
vote against Harper will be a
vote for your constitution,” in
mind the request was denied.
The meeting moved on to oth
er business. The Pi Gamma Mu
and the Psychology Club consti
tutions were approved. The re
vision of the poster regulations
were also given an affirmative
vote.
