It was a typical autumn day as
;udents paraded to the gym for
he official opening convocation
ills..
'f the 1969 fall semester. This
the 68th such convocation
isfe
yas
.0 be held in A.C.’s history. The
f;ym, although more crowded
®han usual, retained an air of
ignity as the faculty processed
1, adorn in their academic
“'egalia.
Q tf!
Dr. William Paulsell presided
jijver the convocation, and in his
E(,i’astoral prayer asked the
If'tudents to, “develope a genuine
jft'ense of curiosity and a strong
Jesire for intellectual growth.”
.|i le closed by asking that the
jjjtudents and faculty, “. . .work
(jOgether in the pursuit of
fjpHOwledge.”
® The A.C. Chorus then en-
■“'ertained with a short selection
^Intitled, “Psalm 100” written by
®*br. James Cobb, Chairman of
laShe Music Department,
an Chaplain Dan Hensley, in the
iibsence of Dr. Wenger gave the
, Imnual Convocation address,
aflensley centered his remarks
olaround the topics of “What it is
EO be a man; and What type of
ainan do you want to be?” At the
:e)utset he delineated wht he
leteontends to be the three types of
ispontemporary men. “The
niDrganization man,” said Hen-
ol;ley, is the man caught up in the
'ush of society, the man who has
,ost his identity, he is in short,
^;he epitome of conformity.
The “hippie” is the second
Fype of man. Hensley expressed
piis concern over the “bag of the
lippies feel there is very little
*iood in man and in the world.
Jfensley’s third category was the
■‘spaceman,” “those caught up
' n the fancy of the world.”
I Constantly searching, probing,
and investigating, capable of
loing the impossible such as
?oing to the moon.
Hensley then questioned the
audience as to what type of man
^as Jesus? Was he an
J)rganization man, a hippie or a
spaceman? To some people
Jesus was a type of hippie, in
hat the philosophies he taught
nd the ideals he preached were
lot always ascribed to by the
Mjority of the populace. Jesus
•vas also somewhat of a
fPaceman said Hensely. Not in
-he sense of space travel but in
regards to his constant probing
and his capability of doing the
Impossible.
At this point Chaplain Hensley
^egan to differentiate between
two other types of men, the
GaUlee Man and the Man of
Galilee (Jesus). The Galilee
man was symbolized by
decaying bones and a
meaningless life, while the Man
of Galilee represented a, “.
i-spark of divinity in the dust of
humanity.” A spiritual man
aware of the presence of the
divine in his life. The man of
Galilee came to serve, while the
that govern rushing at A.C.C.

WRA Holds Picnic
The Women’s Recreation
Association held its annual fall
picnic on Monday afternoon,
September 22 on the athletic
field. The picnic provided an
opportunity for everyone to get
to know each other, and an
opportunity for the freshment
and transfer girls to get the facts
about the intramural program.
WRA president, Norma Jean
Respess greeted all of the girls
and explained to them just
exactly what WRA was all
about. For a girl attending ACC,
the WRA offers fun, competition,
and exercise. Participation in
WRA can prove to be a rewar
ding experience. Some of the
activities during the school year
include softball, tag football,
volleyball, volley tennis, tennis,
basketball, clock golf, and
badminton. To be a member of
WRA can mean a great deal to a
girl if she is willing to par
ticipate and have a bood time.
Anyone with any questions
regarding our WRA program
contact Carole Mewborn, WRA
Director or Norma Jean
Respess, WRA President.

Galilee man wanted only to be
served.
Hensley then alluded to
sometimes irrelevancy of the
present educational system. He
said that too often we learn only
second hand experiences, and
that seldom do we ever attempt
to seek our own experiences and
learn from them. He emphasized
that students must not be afraid
to try something even at the risk
of failing.

New Idea
For Group
If you have just become a
member of the Atlantic
Christian student body and you
live off campus — you are a Day
Student and are entitled to the
privileges of the organization.
You are represented on the SGA
board by Jeff Chase, Senator
and Ricky Stewart, President.
Since it is close to impossible to
get the approximately 750
members together at one time, A
Day Student Committee is in the
process of being formed to give
the Day Student a more
dominant role in the activities of
campus events. Therefore, if you
are a Day Student and have any
ideas that you feel would benefit
the Day Students, especially in
the area of the parking problem
that so many Day Students seem
to be faced with each day, you
are welcome to be on this
committee or if you do not have
the time, we would still welcome
your suggestions. There is a box
in the lobby of the Student Union
for such suggestions.
In the way of activities
already planned for the Day
Students this year; the Day
Students will take an active part
in the homecoming events in No
vember, and; in the proposed
budget of the Day Student Or
ganization, money has been allo
cated for some form of social
activity which will be a new
concept for this organization.
Our goal this year is Day Student
participation — at the price you
pay for the use of the campus —
you should capitalize on every
opportunity.
