Alpha Qii Performs
Induction Ceremony
New officers were installed
and24 Atlantic Christian College
students were inducted into the
N.C. Gamma chapter of Alpha
Chi, a national honorary
scholastic fraternity, on the
college campus recently.
A national honor society
founded in 1922, Alpha Chi is a
member of the Association of
College Honor Societies.
Dedicated to the stimulation of
sound scholarship and scholastic
endeavors and devotion to the
truth, Alpha Chi has as its ob
jective the promotion and
recognition of scholarship and
ttiose elements of character
which make scholarship.
Membership in the society is
the highest recognition of
scholastic achievements which
may be bestowed upon a student
at Atlantic Christian and
requires a student classification
of junior or senior with over all
accumulative grade average of
3.2 or higher.
Takeing office were Emy
Swindell of Wilson, president;
John Anders of Havelock, vice
president; Linda Horne of
Wilson, secretary; Kenneth
O’Connell of Wilson, treasurer;
Milton Provides
Speaker’s Topic
JIM ABBOTT
“He was a politician, but he
was a different breed of a poli
tician than what we know to
day; he spoke from his heart.”
This is what one student had to
say about last Tuesday’s con
vocation speaker. Dr. Brooks
Hayes. Dr. Hayes is a native of
Arkansas, and is a Democrat.
He ran for the Governorship of
his state at the age of thirty; he
lost that election but was soon
elected to the United States
Congress where he served for
sixteen years. President Ken
nedy appointed him to be
Assistant Secretary of State and
he served President Johnson as
a Special White House Assistant.
In 1965 he was sent to the United
Nations as a member of U.S.
delegation. Presently he is
serving as the Director of the
Ecumenical Institution at Wake
Forest University.
Dr. Hayes centered his
remarks around the topic of
education and the relevance of
modern education to con
temporary society. At the outset
he established his thesis based
on the words of John Milton who
once proclaimed that, “I count
that a complete and generous
education which fits one to
perform skillfully, justly, and
magnanimously all the offices of
life in peace and war, and in
public and private enterprises.”
Questions Answered

formation to help in answering
any questions which students
may have about the new draft
lottery. If you have any other
questions the draft board has
advised us that they will be able
to answer them by Friday, Dec.
12.
Q. I am 18 years old and will
not be 19 until after December
31, 1969. Do I have a selective
service random sequence
number?
A. No. Your random sequence
will be determined by the first
drawing held after you become
19.
Q. Once I receive a random
sequence number, will this
number change from year-to-
year as new drawings are held?
A. No.

Association is again honored to
sponsor its’ annual campus wide

Art Auction
The Atlantic Christian College
Department of Art held its an
nual art auction on Dec. 4,
beginning at 8 p.m. Proceeds of
the auction will go toward the
publication of “Crucible,” a
little magazine co-sponsored and
published by the ACC Depart
ments of Art and English.
More than 50 items were
available to buyers. Russell
Arnold, chairman of the
department of art and a co
editor of “Crucible,” said a
number of works had been
donated by students of the
department, art faculty and
others.
Need Photos
If there are any clubs,
organizations or Greeks that
have not been photographed for
the Pine Knot, please contact
Lee Martin immediately.
Board To
Investigate
The Executive Board met
briefly on Monday, December 1
with seemingly no major
business to consider. There
were, however a few minor
issues needing the executive
stamp of approval.
A motion by Jeanette Norfolk
would create a committee to
study the problem of trans
portation to and from the clinics
for students in need of medical
attention beyond that afforded
by the college informary. Miss
Norfolk explained that for the
resident student without a car
there is no ready means of trans
portation. A person who is sick
“doesn’t feel like hunting up a
ride,” and some students can’t
afford a taxi. She pointed out the
difficulties incurred by persons
with injuries such as a sprained
ankle which necessitate several
trips to the clinic. The motion
passed without opposition.
The other matter of business,
also brought up by a sophomore,
made a recommendation to the
City of Wilson that signs
“designed to guide motorists to
our campus” be placed at
strategic intersections on the
perimeter of the city. Jim Abbot
made the motion and explained
that “the town is sort of con
fusing if you don’t know it.” He
felt the signs would be of help to
persons looking for the campus.
This motion was also unopposed.
Q. I am 20 years of age, cur
rently deferred in Class II-A. My
deferment will terminate in
June 1970, What will be my
liability after the termination of
my deferment?
A. If you are placed in I-A and
found to be acceptable for
military service, you will be
placed at the top of the available
list, provided your number was
reached while you were defer
red. If your number was not
reached while you were defer
red, you will be placed in a lower
priority group, whether you
were deferred until June 1970 or
for the entire year.
Q. I am a 22-year-old student
classified II-S. Because of my
high random sequence number,
I wish to be classified in I-A
rather'than II-S. How can I get a
I-A classification?
A. You will remain in II-S as
long as the reason for your
deferment exists. Your local
board was obligated to classify
you in II-S, since this was the
lowest classification for which
you qualified. However, if your
local board receives evidence
from your school that you have
ceased to be a satisfactory full
time student because you have
withdrawn, graduated, ter
minated your enrollment, or
become a part-time student,
then your local board will have a
basis to reclassify you from II-S.
Q. My random sequence num
ber is 262. I have heard that my
chances of being called for in
duction during 1970 are slim.
A. There is no way to deter
mine when any registrant in I-A,
who is subject to random
selection, will be called for in
duction.
Q. I was ordered to report for
induction in December 1969. My
local board postponed my induc
tion until February 1970. Does
the lottery affect me?
A. No. Unless there is some
reasonfor your being deferred,
you should expect to report on
the date in February that the
local board advises you to
report. The lottery does not
affect the status of any
registrant who is ordered to
report for induction, when the
original reporting date is prior to
January 1, 1970.
Q. Suppose I transfer for in
duction and the board I transfer
to orders me to report in
January 1970?

Commenting on the justice
that Milton referred to, Dr.
Hayes noted that, “all too often
the people of the South tend to
look at the world through the
windows of our churches and
sometimes we see only the
beauty that is there and we fail
to see the squalor and injustices
of life.” In his own personal
experience Dr. Hayes observed
that as he looks back over his life
he notes that his most painful
memories are those in which he
recalls when he was not “just”
one of his fellow human be
ings, He went on to say that in all
of our relationships in life we
have come to expect to be
treated in “just” manner. At this
point Dr. Hayes turned to the
words of the modern theologian,
Emil Bruner, who once
remarked that, “all suffering is
bitter, but suffering that is
unjust is doubly bitter; suffering
that is destiny unites us; suf
fering that is unjust divides us.”
In regards to the role of the
educator as administrator of
justice Hayes noted that the,
“educator is part of the great
process of securing justice for
our people and one of the tests of
education is whether or not we
are always concerned about
administering justice.”
On the topic of student protest
Dr. Hayes said that it is not too
early in our lives to oppose the
establishment when we think its
wrong; in our lives to oppose the
establishment when we think its
wrong; in fact it is one of our
great privileges as American
student: In an interview
following his speech 1 asked Dr.
Hayes if he advocated protest
marches as an effective means
of opposing the establishment.
He said, “The groups may be
right or wrong, but the im
portant thing is that the process
of voicing grievance be
protected and that of course is
basic in American life.”
Dr. Hayes closed his remarks
on a note of “love” and he urged
that all students try to exhibit
love in our own lives, whatever
course they may take.”
Carols Fill
Wilson Gym
By JOHN STOUT
Last Tuesday’s Christmas
program completed the fall
schedule of morning convo
cation, The program entitled
“Music for Christmas” featured
the A,C,C, Band under direction
of Mr. William Duckworth, and
the Atlantic Christian Chorus
and Vocal Ensemble under the
joint direction of Dr. James
Cobb and Mr, Ross Albert.
The forty-five minute program
was immediately brought to life
by the A.C.C. Band in a delight
ful medley of gay Christmas
tunes entitled “A Christmas
Festival.” The Chorus followed
the band’s performance with the
merry Christmas tune, “Carol,
Brothers, Carol.” Next the Vocal
Ensemble took the stage and
filled the hall with Carols, meant
to bring the Christmas spirit to
one and all. This included such
favorites as “Deck the Halls”
and that traditional German folk
carol “0 Tannenbaum” (Oh
Christmas Tree”).
