ACC Sponsors Concert
By Touring Buckinghams
By CARL TYER
A dose of the sound of the
Psychc^elics was in store for
Atlantic Christian students who
attended the Buckinghams con
cert Feb. 1.
Buckinghams; ‘Different’

The new sound of music, many
melodies away from the “Soul
South” music which has charac
terized the selections of recent
years on Southern campuses,
was exempliefied in the group’s
“Susan.” Playing their selections
in a darkened gym with blue-
filtered spotlights, the Bucking-
hims brought their psychodelic
mixture of their instruments into
a loud, wierd effect, which, at
least, gave the ACC students a
chance to obtain a broader scope
in music and continue the “high
er education” we are here for.
(Although, it can be disputed
whether this is higher education.)
The concert, held from 8:15
until 10 p.m. in Wilson Gym,
marked the second of the year
sponsored by the Entertainment
Committee. For the Buckinghams
it marked one in a series of
concerts on campuses in the

Of interest to all ACC stu
dents, the concert went smooth
ly with no mishaps of people
being brought from the stands
by police. Only one heckler was
observed by this writer, and he
was well taken care of by the
Buckinghams themselves.

Bound
“Wilson and Atlantic Christian
College are inseparably bound in
a pro'graim of progress,” said
Gregory, “and if our community
is to grow and continue to
prosper so must its major cul-
ural asset, Atlantic Christian Col
lege.
“I have taken this assignment,
however, knowing full well the
work that lies ahead, but I am
certain of the unqualified sup
port of all those who have the
welfare of Wilson in their
hearts.”
More and more students with
top high school records are be
ing attracted to the college and
a growing percentage of these
are going on to graduate stud
ies. This trend along with other
recent developments in educa
tion requires advancements in
curriculum, facilities and ser
vices.

Communications Lab Is
Helpful Asset To ACC
By JOYCE COPELAND
The communications lab at
Atlantic Christian College is now
in its second year of operation.
Miss Tassie Langley is director
of the lab.
Although some students are
referred to the lab by faculty
members it is not limited to
these referals. In fact it is
desired that students refer them
selves.
Two students have done ex
ceptionally well in their par
ticular programs according to
Miss Langley. Duke Whedbee
and George Melchoir report they
have read a maximum of 600
to 1000 words per minute with
85 to 100 per cent compre
hension. Whedbee remarked that
the course not only improved
hiis grades but gave him time to
read for his own pleasure. “It’s
not too much fun at first, but
when you begin to improve it
becomes more interesting.” Their
objective is to reach maximum
speed with maximum compre
hension.
Key Word
“Desire” is the key word in
the communications lalb. If stu
dents recognize their weakness
es and wish to gain improve
ment, they may find help in the
lab. Miss Langley believes, “Stu
dents must tate responsibility
for their own learning. Any stu
dent who flunks and doesn’t seek
help is shirking his responsi-

The Executive Board then pro

petitioners had not fulfilled the

denied. The motion met the ap
