Wilkins promised to strive for
social refornris on campus. “In
the recent SGA elections, 898
students voted, , .for social
change.” President Wilkins
declared, “It is up to the new
Executive Board as represen
tatives of the students to use all
legal means possible to ac
complish these social reforms.”
“The time for campaigning has
come to an end and now the work
must begin,” he said. “The new
board has a common goal, that of
social reform.”
Wilkins noted, however, that
the board will be ineffective
without the aid of the individual
students. “The new Executive
Board,” he stated, “can only
accomplish desired changes by
working together for social
change, for only by working
together will we be able to ac
complish anything.”
“We are on the brink of a new
M
m
era at Atlantic Christian; an era
where the student assumes more
and more responsibility for
governing himself.” If the
students will not accept
responsibility for their actions,
however, “the social conditions
here will remain as they have
been for the last 66 years, back
ward and archaic.”
“It is up to me, Joe Wilkins,”
he continued, “to represent the
best interests of the student body.
. .1 pledge to you, the student
body, that I will use all the
resources at my disposal to ac
complish these goals (social
reforms).”
Ending his address with a
quote, Wilkins repeated a
statement made by Edward
Hale, former chaplain of the U.S.
Senate;
“I am only one, but I am me. I

To Be Given May 1
I Our question for this week is:
Bo you think that women
I students should be allowed to
war Bermudas and-or slacks to
class? In a random sampling
students and faculty members
^ gave these answers.
Yes. We have set a double
standard in the dress codes for
students here at A.C. These rules
definitely need to be changed. —

No, I feel that it would lower

i Slacks have become so
I generally accepted in polite
society that it would be stretching
a point to reject them. As for
bernaudas, I am a young man for

“Barefoot in the Park” opens
May 1 for a three-day run in
Howard Chapel. Presented by
Stage and Script, the play is free
to all ACC students.
Written by Neil Simon,
“Barefoot” is one of the brightest
comedies to come along in recent
years. The story concerns the
misadventures of a newly
married couple, Corie and Paul.
The problem is simple — at first
Paul, a beginning lawyer, must
settle down to his job after six
days of marriage.
Corie, a rather scatterbrained
and flighty girl, is by no means
ready to end the honeymoon. The
situation is complicated by
Corie’s choice of an apartment —
a six-flight walkup, with rather
questionable neighbors.
Victor Velesco, for example, is
a 58-year-old man who needs to
crawl through a window in
Corie’s apartment and along

Wyndham a clay “peace” pipe on
which was inscribed the words,
“A pipe with which to keep the
peace.”

Alcohol Regulations Provide
For Grand Political Finale
By JOYCE COPELAND
“The evil demon alcohol should
not be permitted to touch the
undefiled lips of ACC students,”
pronounced the pope of Atlantic
Christian, Rev. Paul Land. The
statement occurred when Land
moved to remove the alcohol
regulations resolution from the
table at the April 9 Executive
Board meeting.

•‘Costuming”
The board was in a “ready for
anything” mood as it closed out
its political career at ACC.
William Perkinson’s resolution
would allow students to possess
and consume alcoholic beverages
in their residence halls. Alcohol
would not be allowed at on-
campus functions.
A1 Cooke, known to the board as
“Mr, Constitution,” told the
board that approximately 95 per
cent of all heroin addicts once
drank alcohol. He did note the
biblical passage in which Christ
turned water to wine stating that
a little spirit was all right.
Board philosopher, William
Perkinson, negated the Cooke
statistics and left the board in
hysterics with his statement that
“100 per cent of all heroin addicts
once drank milk,” His quote from
second Timothy assured the
board that one should “drink a
little wine for thy stomach’s
sake,”
Steve Dollar questioned the
feasibility of the bill. The con
ditions in dorm make study hard
enough, thus he urged the board
to consider the noise this addition
to the rules and regulations would
involve.
Land, who provided costuming
for the affair, commented on the
vagueness of the current rules.
Perkinson also questioned the
ability to enforce current rules.
The board, paving the way for the
Wilkins administration, ap
proved the proposal.
With a bit of nostalgia and
some manipulating of Robert’s
Rules, the board closed its final
meeting and a huge sigh of relief
filled the air.
