Executive Board Creates
Brilliant Math Discovery
By JOYCE COPELAND
The laws of mathematics in
clude a statement on the diety of
significant figures. According to
William Perkinson comparing
UI to 2.5 is comparable to
comparing apples to oranges.
This enlightening discussion of
the science of mathematics oc
curred during the special called
meeting of the executive Board
It Monday night. The discussion
dealt with the proposed can-
, Jidacy of Joe Harwood for the
office of vice-president of the
I SGA. Byron Wyndham had
declared Harwood ineligible
I because the 2.5 average required
of the office. Kay Watson,
sophomore senator, moved to
appeal the presidents decision.
Perkinson then presented his
thesis on the rounding off of
Harwood’s 2.47 average to 2.5
instead of making the 2.5 read
2.50. The board approved Miss
Watson’s motion.
In order to remain consistent,
the board also approved the
candidacy of Miss Lee Martin as
editor of the Pine Knot. Miss
Martin had a 2.18 average falling
short of .02 of a point of the SGA
approved 2.2 requirement.
A petition from Bill Galagher
was presented to the board
concerning his desire to be a
write-in candidate for vice-
president of the rising junior
class. The board pointed out that
this was not necessary and
illegal. The class constitution
provided for petitions for can
didacy within one week of
nominations.
Cast Announced
For ‘^^Antigone^^
The Stage and Script helc
tryouts for “Antigone” on Feb. 12
and 13. The cast selected includes
Tom Albert, chorus; Sandra
Edwards, Antigone; Vickie
Newsome, nurse; Linda Spatig,
Ismene; Jim Abbott, Haemon;
Bob Noble, Creon; Steve Dollar,
Wilbert Hardy; Robert Thomp
son, guards; Robby Koelling,
messenger; Marvin Cox, page;
and Jackie B. Keen, Eurydice.
Originally a Greek Tragedy,
“Antigone” has been adapted for
modern use. The adaptation to be
presented by the Stage and Script
was cleverly devised during
WWII to appeal to the Nazi
Germans and pass censorship.
Yet it retained meaning for
Germany’s victim, France, and
presented a universal appeal
remaining today.

Is Named
As Clerk
By JIM ABBOTT
RALEIGH — Two ACC
delegates to the State Student
Legislature held here last week
were named to top student
legislative posts. Kay Watson,
sophomore class senator, was
elected SSL secretary and Al
Cooke, SGA vice-president, was
named reading clerk in the
Senate.
Over 35 North Carolina colleges
and universities were
represented at the 32nd session of
the legislature. The oldest
legislative body of its type in the
United States, the body is a
nationally recognized
organization. A number of
today’s state legislators and past
governors have served as
delegates. It is significant that 46
per cent of the bills passed by SSL
during its history have been
enacted into law by the N. C.
Legislature.
Atlantic Christian’s delegates
this year were: Byron Wyndham,
Al Cooke, Paul Land, Paul Latta,
Sarah Mewborn, Kay Antone,
Kay Watson, David Finch and
Jim Abbott.
Arriving here at noon Wednes
day, the delegates registered at
SSL. State and city officials
welcomed the delegates during a
plenary session that afternoon.
Wednesday night was reserved
to allow the participating
delegates to revise bills and to lay
strategy for Thursday’s session.
The ACC bill, entitled “An Act
To Provide Measures For The
Purposes of Purchasing Voting
Machines,” was passed almost
unanimously in both houses. Only
four votes were cast against the
bill in the Senate and one in the
House.
The ACC bill read as follows:
“Section 1. The Legislature of
the State of North Carolina, upon

Waters Hall By Board
Atlantic Christian College’s
Board of Trustees, at its annual
®id-winter meeting held Feb. 26,
took action to award an honorary
doctoral degree, name a major
l>uilding and gave approval to a
proposed operating budget which
approaches the $2.5 million mark
lor the 1969-70 academic year.
The board named Miss Sarah
Bain Ward, dean of women and
coimselor, to be awarded the
honorary Doctor of Laws (LL.D.)
*l®gree at the college’s May 30,
commencement. Miss Ward
's completing her twenty-fifth
year of service to the college. A
W38 honor graduate o£ Atlantic
^I'ristian, she holds the M.A.
%ee from Columbia Univer
sity.
Atlantic Christian College’s
lost
®ost
structu:
recently completed
^ six-story dormitory
for men, was named “Waters
Hall” in honor of the late Dr.
John Mayo Waters of Wilson, who
died on Feb, 5, 1969. Until his
retirement from college ac
tivities on May 31, 1968, Dr.
Waters taught and served in
many capacities at the college for
57 years.
The board approved a proposed
operating expense budget of
$2,487,000 for the 1969-70
academic year. The new budget
provides for substantial in
creases in faculty and staff
salaries. Additional income to
fund the larger budget comes in
part from increases in student
fees. In addition to a previously
announced increase of $100 in
tuition for the 1969-70 academic
year, the trustees approved in
creases in board and activities
fees as well.
