Honors College
The week of April 22 has been
proclaimed as ".Atlantic Christian
College Week” by Wilson May
or E. B. Pittman. The mayor
said the college has “through its
cuUui;'al and economic contribu
tions to the community, become
an integral part of Wilson's past,
present and future progress.”
He also urged citizens of the
community to back up ACC in its
current $1,750,000 Advancement
Fund Campaign.
Pany he is the eastern North
-arohna distributer for Goodrich
I^ire and Rubber Company. Ht
serves as a director of the
Wilson Savings and Loan As
sociation and is a long time sup
porter of the First Christian
Church.
Provides
The current campaign will pro
vide funds to help ACC keep in
step with the everchanging de
mands of education. Substantial
pledges are necessary for suc
cess and the level of donation
is far exceeding the college’s
15-year Development program,
according to Gregory. A majority
of the prospects for donations
have yet to be heard from
and the committee rnembers are
enthusiastic about the results to
date.
The development program in
cludes plans for a new library,
provision for expansion of the
campus, and improvements on
existing buildings. The money
will also provide for the retire
ment of outstanding obligations.
