The Iceman Cometh
By KENNETH O’CONNELL
An ACC delegate to the State
Student Legislature was elected
to two top student legislature
posts. Harold Herring, SGA
student co-ordinator, was
elected Parliamentarian of the
Senate of State Student
Legislature and he was named
Public Relations Chairman of
the state organization.
Over thirty-five North
Carolina colleges and univer
sities were represented at the
33rd annual session of the State
Student Legislature. Atlantic
Christian’s delegates to this
year’s session were: Joe
Wilkins, Kenneth O’Connell,
David Finch, Lee Martin, Judi
Brewer, Jimmie Lucas, Doug
Brinson, Larry Messer, Robbie
Steen and Harold Herring.
ACC’s delegates arrived in
Raleigh at noon Wednesday and
immediately began politicking
for their two bills. These
delegates were welcomed to
Raleigh that afternoon during
the first plenary session by city
officials. They also heard an
address by State Represen
tative Jim Holshouser, State
Chairman of the North Carolina
Republican Party, who urged all
delegates to get involved in
politics regardless of their party
preference.
On Wednesday night, the
delegates attended a reception
at the home of North Carolina
State University Chancellor
John Caldwell. At the reception
and back at the hotel ACC’s
delegates began executing
strategy in an effort to seek
support for their bills.
The first ACC bill entitled “An
Act to Repeal The Tax on
Cigarettes and Soft Drinks,”
was one of the most discussed
and publicized bills at State
Student Legislature. In the
Senate, ACC’s delegation ac
cepted a friendly amendment to
delete the section repealing the
cigarette tax and the bill passed
with only two dissenting votes.
However, in the House the bill
was amended to increase the
cigarette tax to five cents per
package after which it passed
with only a few dissenting votes.
The bill was then sent to a
Senate-House Conference
Committee which recommended
the Senate version of the bill.
The bill was then brought up at
"The Iceman Cometh to Wil-
a.” That’s right, A.C.C. will

the plenary session on Saturday.
The debate was heated and
lasted nearly 90 minutes. With
the tentative time for ad-
joumament four hours past the
body wearily proceded to table
the motion. The delegation felt
that it has acheived a victory,
however, because of the
dialogue created and the
pubhcity received.
The first ACC bill reads as
follows:
A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO AMEND CHAPTER
105 OF THE GENERAL
STATUES OF NORTH
CAROLINA BY DELETING
ARTICLE 2A THERE IN
REPEALING THE TAX ON

Butler will appear in Wilson
Gymnasium.
Butler, better known as “the
Iceman” is well known to
anyone in tune with the popular
music. He has appeared on the
behalf of the Vice President of
the United States, Senator
Eugene McCarthy and Governor
Winthrop Rockefeller. This
talented performer, writer and
producer has appeared on the
Johnny Carson show, the Joey
Bishop show as well as Upbeat
and the Dick Clark show.
The “Iceman” is admired by
members of his own profession
as well as popular music fans.
Henry Mancini and Johnny
Mercer, collaborators on “Moon
River,” ran a full page ad in the
trade magazines thanking Jerry
for his recording and assistance
in making the song.
“Only the Strong Survive,”
“Moody Woman,” “Hey
Western Union Man,” “Never
Give You Up,” and “Mister
Dream Merchant” are just a few
of this young man’s hits. Mark
April 3 on your calendar as the
date to see and hear “the Ice
man,” Jerry Butler.
Admission will be charged.

Toffler Will Appear
A reader of the February and
March issues of Playboy will
find articles by Alvin Toffler.
But who is Alvin Toffler? Alvin
Toffler describes himself as a
“social futurist.” Alvin Toffler is
a social critic. He’s concerned
with change. “Change is
avalanching toward us, and
most people are utterly un
prepared to cope with it,” he
says in his forthcoming book,
“Future Shock.”
Alvin Toffler is from New
York; Manhattan to be exact.
He’s written books. He’s been a
contributor to anthologies and
many well-known periodicals
such as Life, Reader’s Digest,
New York Times Book Review,
Saturday Review and Playboy.
Alvin Toffler is coming to
Atlantic Christian College to
speak about the future. The men
of tomorrow, Toffler says will
“live faster” than we do today.
They will move more often, and
marry more often, will change
their jobs, values and friends at
a rate that would stun us today.
Yet not all of us will be able to
keep up with the accelerating
rate of change. We face what
might turn out to be the most
devastating disease of
tomorrow; future shock.
Alvin Toffler is being spon
sored by the Campus Christian
Association. He will be on
campus Tuesday, March 17,1970
for the 11:00 a.m. convocation.
Witty, authoritative, and bril
liant, author Alvin Toffler’s
conversations about tomorrow
are superbly, researched, im
peccably organized and de-
vastatingly relevant.

Elon Sets
Convocation seems to be a
provoctive topic on many
campuses in reference to
required attendance. Elon
College seems to have come up
with a fairly good solution to an
age old problem.
The Feb. 26 edition of Maroon
and Gold, Elon’s campus press,
contains an article relating to
convocation attendence. Elon
students are given the op
portunity to earn credit by at
tending “a religious, cultural or
intellectual ...” program. The
student must attend a mimimum
of 30 events.
The college provides regular
weekly programs as well as
visiting lecturers, local plays,
concerts and other programs of
interest to the academic com
munity.
Loan Available
The College Foundation Loan
Applications are now available
in the office of the Director of
Financial Aid. All persons in
terested in this loan should
contact the Financial Aid Office.
The overwhelming rate of
population expansion and grow
ing concern for it has spawned
many groups displaying overt
concern for the problem of too
many people. Among these Fs an
organization known as “Zero
Population Growth.” ZPG’s
objectives center around the
education and influence of a
number of people significant
enough to have a curbing effect
on population growth.
A number of students have
expressed a desire to form a
local chapter of ZPG so that they
might participate in alleviation
of the problem. They are holding
an organizational meeting in the
Faculty Dining Room Tuesday,
March 17 at 6:00. They have
expressed a hope that many
other students will join them.
Play Try-Outs
stage and Script will hold
tryouts for “The Taming of the
Shrew” on Tuesday and Wed
nesday, the 17th and 18th of
March, at 7:30 p.m. Approxi
mately 15 men and 6 women will
be needed. No experience is
necessary. This will be an
unusual production of Shake
speare’s classic.
It has been announced by the
offices of the Dean of Men and
Dean of Women that all students
desiring on-campus housing for
the fall semester, 1970, should
fill out a Housing Application by
Friday, April 3. Applications are
available in the deans’ offices or
from any residence hall coun
selor. All applications should be
returned to the deans’ offices.
Students are reminded that
the college catalogue states that
“all full-time students who do
not reside with their own
families, parents, or relatives
are required to live in the college
housing when available. Male
students may secure housing in
off-campus facilities when the
residence halls are filled to
capacity, but are responsible to
maintain their conduct accord
ing to college policies and
regulations. Female students 21
years of age and older, may
request permission from the
Dean of Women to make their
own housing arrangements.
Request for such permissions
must be made prior to the
beginning of the semester.
Female students receiving per
mission to reside off-campus are
expected to abide by all college
policies and regulations.”
