Unfair Decision
Made On Awards
The Executive Board of the Student Government As-
sociotion is seldom praised as a highly effecient govern
ing body, and usually the lack of praise is justified in
deed. Recent instances of budget reopportionments made
by the exalted ruling body ore sound reasons for the
absence of praise.
Through the shuffle and reshuffling of funds from
one budgetary organization to another, the board saved
no money but cut some groups in order to provide more
funds for others, chiefly the Entertainment Committee.
The Soicial Committee was virtually dissolved when the
Executive Board completely rechonneled its budget into
the Entertainment Committee. Result: well, if you en
joyed the homecoming dance for the students, you will
not disagree with the results.
The board has also recently ruled that none of the
budgetary organizations of the Student Government can
have the tranditional banquet at the end of the year
given in honor of those students who have donated their
time and energy to student concerns. This new law,
however, excludes the Executive Board itself, which will
still hold the right to conuct an annual banquet. The
board defends the action by pointing out that the heads
of each budgetary organization will be invited to the
dinner. The students who serve under the organizations
will supposedly feel that they hove not been slighted by
the new order.
We deeply feel that it is unfortunate that organiza
tions will not be allowed to conduct their awards banquet
this ^year. And we feel that the students who give a
year's work to students organizations have earned this
token of gratitude. If the volunteer students who worked
for the groups will not be permitted to enjoy a banquet,
.lien the leoders of the organizations, including the Exe-
cutive Board, should also forfeit the privilege.
Happy Thanksgiving
The staff of the Collegiate wishes you o safe and
happy Thanksgiving vacation. We also sincerely hope
and trust that the ocossion will truly be one of giving
thanks for the many rights, privileges and blessings which
you now enjoy.
As humans go, we often neglect our blessings and
see only that which we would like to have but have not.
This year mark the observance of Thanksgiving Day by
thinking of all that you have to be grateful for. See if
this vacation will be more meaningful to you! HAPPY
THANKSGIVING,
Reader’s Perspective
O
Mr. Bussell,
Mr. William Glenesk stated at
the outset of his lecture last week
that the listeners would be
disappointed if they expected to
hear some new exciting risque
things in the new morality. In the
brief conversation I had with
him, he stated that his message
was that the newness was that
morality was being extended to
all facets of society and not just a
concept related to religious
ideals. He said that "people
should interpret the Bible really
and not literally." I do believe my
own limited knowledge of
philsophy regarding such con
cepts denies me the right to
publicly defend or disparage the
discussion and lecture.
I write this letter questioning
the point of view expressed in last
week's letter by Miss Lynn
Johnson concerning the guest
speaker. She stated that Mr.
Glenesk "expelled a lot of hot air
in his two speeches, but he didn’t
say a thing.” Prior to this
statement she implied a con
tradiction by saying that she
"thoroughly enjoyed the con
vocation address by Mr. William
Glenesk — so much that I made a
special effort to attend the
question and answer session later
in the day.”
My observation is that Perhaps
these statements of hers were
ignited by statement of faculty
members and others who were
repeating the comments of one
faculty member who called Mr.
Glenesk a phony. The point I
would like to make is that the
people who so vilely criticized the

lecturer did not attack the
speaker openly in the informal
discussion group held in the art
gallery. 1 feel that it is unethical
to write an abusive attack on Mr.
Glenesk. After he leaves and yet
remain silent during the
portunity to challenge
statements. I reiterate the earlier
statement that I intend neither to
defend or lambast Mr. Glenesk,
but rather to ask which morality,
new or old in Miss Johnson’s
handbook, was she following in
her rather "evasive” critique on
the convocation program. I will
elaborate in the use of the word
evasive in that Miss Johnson
referred to questions and an
swers of which ‘‘the content was
neglible”, yet she did not
specifically cite evidence of this
fault.

Dear Mr. Bussell;
Tonight at 10:30 p. m. on the
WGTM Radio network, a new
dimension in publicty for Atlantic
Christian College v^'ill be
troduced. I am referring
m-
of
course to the Freshman Class
radio program.
The class of ’72 in deciding to
sponsor this program had these
objectives in mind. First of all, as
a class project it might serve to
involve those class members who
without such a project might
have remained dormant and
inactive. Secondly, this program
will serve as a link in com
municating to the students the
different activities taking place
here at A. C. Thirdly, this
program will be informative to
the citizens of Wilson. I un
derstand that it has been only
recently (within the past ten or so
years) that the citizens of Wilson
have come to realize what an
integral part this college plays in
the life of the community. It is
our hope that the radio program
will help to further stimulate
citizen - interest toward A.C.C.
I hope that the students of A. C.
will become cognizant of the
value of this program and will
support it so that it might become
an effective means of com
munication.
Very truly yours,
James C. Abbott
