in the mid-l930s, is one of the
significant private collections of
photography. “Not only do the
individual works in the collec
tion reflect high critical stand
ards,” Mr. Szarkowski has said,
“but the collection as a whole
expresses a vigorous, personal
perspective.”
Charles , Sheeler (1883-1965) is
best known as a painter. He
took up photography first as a
livelihood in 1912, and two years
later discovered the beauty of
indigenous American architec
ture, which was reflected with
force and purity in both his
painting and photography. Sheel
er valued photography for the
things it alone co'ild accomplish,
and once said: “Photography is
nature s-een from the eye out
ward, painting from the eye in
ward.”
Ansel Adams, born in San
Francisco in 1902, is described

To fill the many solitary hours
of his life, Jonathan feeds the
giant Venus fly traps; collects
coins, stamps and books; builds
telescopes; and attends Madame
Rosepettle’s Silver Piranha fish.
Rosalie is a baby sitter in the
hotel, and becomes “interested”
in Jonathan’s welfare. The com
modore is an eccentric aged
playboy who becomes involved
with Madame Rosepettle’s maca
bre world.

Study Program
Is Inaugurated
By LYNN JOHNSON
This semester a new concept
in education has been introduced
at ACC. The experimental college
is a non-graded, voluntary pro
gram whereby the student
learns through discussion. Be
cause it is nongraded, the stu
dent is freed from fear of fail
ure and can concentrate on the
subject itself. The lines between
the instructor and student are
softened and freer exchange of
ideas can result.
Sponsered by the Campus
Awareness Committee, the first
session of this new program
was held last Thursday. Approxi
mately 40 people heard Dr.
Roger Bullard speak on lin
guistics at that time. The topic
will be discussed further in

will sponsor a faculty evaluation
tentatively set to begin March 21.
Questionnaires will be distrib
uted during class meetings, be
ginning with the seniors March
21, allowing each student to rank
all professors he has had In or
der of preference. From the list
the student will be asked to
evaluate the top two, bottom
two, and any four in between.
According to Rick Harrison,
student chairman of the Fac
ulty Evaluation Committee, re
sponsible for the project, “Stu
dents will be asked to evaluate
their professors in detail. The
questionnaire is directed towards
determining the instructor’s com
petency, ability to communicate
and general teaching ability.”
“The purpose of the entire
project is to give each professor
a chance to see himself in the
eyes of his student,” Harrison
continued.
Questions will range from “Is
the professor interesting in the
presentation of the material?”
to “Are assignments reasonable
in length and difficulty?”
Harrison stated that through
the project, the student “will
also be given an opporunity to
express his opinion on Atlantic
Christian College professors in
general.”
“At no time,” he concluded,
“will the student, in any way,
reveal his identity. When statis
tics of the evaluation have been
compiled, each faculty member
will receive his own results.”

For Convocation
At 11 a.m. Tuesday Depart
mental meetings will be held.
Attendance is required and will
be taken by the individual de
partments.
