a Biblical instrument with ten
strings. Mr. Nutt referred to it
as, “a ukelele with thyroid
trouble.”
Mr. Nutt concluded his
program with some remarks
along a more serious nature. He
remarked that throughout his
Biblical study what impressed
him most about Jesus, was the
everpresent realization that
Jesus was a, “Man filled with
humanity, rather than just a
man filled with pie^,”
He said also that the humor of
Jesus was one of his most
significant assets. Mr. Nutt said
that he often asks himself what
type of man would Jesus be if he
were alive today. Would he ride
a honda? How would he feel
about society?
Mr. Nutt closed by asking that
we be patient with the church
and with society and he
remarked that, “God does love
us and that he is the friend of
sinners.”

The rising cost of education is
a basic concern to everyone
involved in the college system.
Each year brings an increase in
the cost of “sending Johnny to
college.” Atlantic Christian
College is no exception to the
rule. Expenses have risen from
$100 to $2200 over the past three
to four years. Financial assist
ance has become a necessity for

the majority of ACC’s nearly
1,400 students. This assistance is
limited; therefore, the question
arises as to who gets the cash.
During the 1968-69 academic
year $88,772.50 was granted to
eligible students. This figure
includes athletic as well as
academic grants. The academic
portion alone totaled $67,602.50.
Several of the grants are named
and are listed in the college
catalogue. Approximately $7,500
per year are appropriated from
the general college budget to
unnamed scholarships. The
largest scholarship granted,
according to Milton Adams,
business manager of the college,
goes to sons and daughters of
faculty and staff. Approximately
$20,000 will be spent in this area
this year.
Educational Opportunity
Grants, sponsored by the federal
government, amounted to
$38,265 last year. These scholar
ships amount to no more than
$1,000 per student and must be
matched by another grant or
loan. The distribution is based on
need. Consideration is not neces
sarily limited to those with
exceptionally high IQs.
Ministerial scholarships are a
large factor in the ACC financial
program. Ministerial students
have a choice between a grant of
5 per cent of tuition or a depart
mental grant which does nol
exceed $500. The members of the
department faculty recommend
recipients.
The music department grants
approximately $400 per year at
the discretion of the music
faculty. Foreign students are
granted $3,000 each year. Last
year, however, $6,100 was allo
cated to this purpose. Class
valedictorians and salutatorians
receive $100.
Philanthropies and trusts
account for $5,000 to $6,000 each
year. The rest of the money
comes from either the federal
government or general college
budget.
This year a new dimension has
been added to the financial aid
picture. Five scholarships per
year are to be awarded under
the sanction of a special com
mittee headed by Dr. Kenneth
St. John. By 1973 twenty people
will benefit from this program.
First year receipients are
granted $200. This amount in
creases to $300 for the second
year, $400 for the third, and $600
for the fourth year. This money
is funded through the general
budget and will eventually
amount to $7,500 per year.
The Department of Athletics
awarded $19,195 in grants-in-aid
for the 1968-69 year. These
scholarships were distributed
among 29 young men. Only
$9,000 of this amount was funded
through the college budget'. The
rest was provided by the Bulldog
Booster Club. Coach Ira Norfolk
believes that, “without the
support of the Bulldog Boosters
we could not maintain even the
present standard of athletics at
ACC.” None of the money from
student fees is used in this
program.
Basketball grants receive the
largest appropriation by far
toward grants. Coach Norfolk
explained the proportion is due
to the fact that basketball is the
only income producing sport on
campus. Money from this sport
helps offset the expenses of other
sports. The Carolinas Con
ference limits grants in this
sport to nine. Spring sports are
not limited at present, but ACC
gives five awards in this area.
Two grants go to baseball and
one each to track, tennis, and

Prime business for the
Executive Board in session
Monday, October 6 was approval
of the budget for the fiscal year
1969-70. SGA is working this year
with nearly $14,000 more than
last year and with two fewer
organizations to be funded. A
record budget of $38,340 was
approved.
The following appropriations
were made: Campus Christian
Association, $1,500;
Cheerleaders, $240; Classes,
$1,954.43; Collegiate $5,921.50;
Entertainment Committee,
$12,000; Executive Board,
$6,500; Pine Knot, $10,500.
Money from the Executive
Board Budget was suballocated
as followed: Day Students, $275
and Campus Awareness Com
mittee, $200. Each of these
organizations were granted $100
more by the Board than by the
proposed budget. The Board also
appropriated $400 for secretarial
help.
Rick Stewart, president of the
Day Students, made the motion
that his organization be given
$275 instead of $175. Stewart
explained that it is impossible
for his 750 day students to
assembly in mass. He,
therefore, feels it necessary to
send out a newsletter in order to
communicate with his con
stituents. He felt that a column
in The Collegiate was not suf-
ficiant to eliminate day student
dormancy. In addition the Day
Students plan extensive par
ticipation in Homecoming ac
tivities.
Harold Herring, Student co
ordinator, moved to give the
Campus Awareness Committee
$200 instead of $100. A1 Cooke,
committee chairman, expressed
his view that the committee
could not function on $200.
Treasurer Ken O’Connell
pointed out that the committee
would not be limited by the
budget. “You can always come
back and ask for more money.”
The $100 increase was approved.
With no further amendments the
total budget received the
executive stamp of approval.
The budget now awaits only the
approval of the student body.
In other business Herring
moved for a student referendum
on the drinking issue to back up
the request to the Board of
Trustees for liberalization. The
motion was defeated. The
trustees will consider the
campus drinking policy at their
October 23 meeting, Zeb
Whitehurst, Dean of Students,
will present the resolution to the

“Whom you choose represents

of your class, and its character.”
The Freshman class officers’
campaign officially opened with
a few “words to the wise”
delivered by SGA president Joe
Wilkins. Wilkins also en-
numerated a few DON’Ts' for the
Frosh.
“Don’t vote for a candidate
because of his looks. And don’t
judge a person by the company
he keeps. They are not the ones
being elected. A candidate must
be able to stand alone, as a
leader.”
Wilkins then opened the floor
