The Executive Board in
session Monday, April 7 passed a
resolution urging Congressman
L. H. Fountain to support
legislation which would lower
the voting age to 18 years. The

was one to which the Executive
Board should address itself. His

democracy is founded on the
principles of suffrage which
provide for the individual a
peaceful voice in government. It
also stated that young people
“are better educated and better
informed on the major issues of
our time than any other segment
of the citizens.”
The resolution resolved “that

Psychology Excursion
Enriches AC Students
By THOMAS FURLONG
On March 22-24, there was a
field trip conducted by Mr.
Grant Folmsbee to St.
Elizabeth’s Hospital in
Washington, D.C., Richmond
Department of Social Services,
and Richmond School of Social
Work. Accompanying Mr.
Folmsbee on this three day trip
were members of his
Psychology clsses.
Some of the highlights of the
trip included a visit to the John

efamous “Iceman,” Jerry Butler, performed Friday night at
^ ^ Wilson Gym. Jerry completely captivated his bountiful
audience by singing some of his old time greats such as “Moody
Harri*"'” "Hey, Western Union Man.” (Photo by Ed
Howard Building at St.
Elizabeths and a visit to the
Welfare Department of the City
of Richmond. While at St.
Elizabeth’s on Monday, the
group had a tour of the grounds,
visiting many of the buildings,
many of which date back to the
Civil War. One of the newer
buildings at St. Elizabeths is the
Maximum Security Building
commonly referred to as the
John Howard Building. It is here
that the criminally insane are
committed for observation and
therapy. The class was fortunate
enou^ to visit one of the wards
in John Howard. Falling very
short of the class’s expectation,
those patients with whom we
visited seemingly were not as
“mentally ill” as many of the
people we come in contact with
day by day.
Upon leaving the John Howard
Building, the class visited the
Occupational Therapy Unit of
the hospital. It is in this unit that
patients receive Physical
Therapy and training which
enables them to compensate for
a physical disability which they
may possess. Included in this
unit we find an array of gadgets
that allow the patient to perform
daily routine tasks.
The following day, Tuesday,
the class visited with the
Richmond Department of Social
Services. Included in this
department were welfare, child
adoption, family services, aid to
the blind, and aid to dependent

United States.” An amendment
by Student Co-ordinator Harold
Herring stipulated “that 18
years olds also be legally liable
under law.” The resolution
passed without opposition.
The Board in its last meeting
also gave its stamp of approval
to a “statement of Rights and
lities of Students.” Vice-
president Joe Harwood stated
that the draft was based on a
statement by the National
Student Association. The state
ment provides that the
possessions of students shall not
be searched without the
student’s permission “except
under extreme emergency
circumstances.” Students shall
not be subject to classroom
judgement of opinions. Student
records shall be privileged and
“academic and disciplinary
records shall be separate.”
Records of students’ political ac
tivities or beliefs shall not be
kept. The student press shall be
free of my censorship or threat
of punishment becuase of
editorial policy or content. The
college shall not prohibit off

Will Open
In the fall, 1970, the ACC
campus will expand to include
the new women’s dormitory. The
180 women to live in the complex
will have to adjust to a floorplan
different from the other
dormitories. The dorm will face
Deans Street, as Hilley Hall
does. A circular drive to loading
and unloading will lead to the
front door. According to Lee
Moore, Superintendent of
Building, the lobby will contain
“courting rooms” much as those
found in Harper Hall. A
moveable partition will also be
installef for closing-off part of
the main lobby. The first floor
will contain the resident
counselor’s apartment and the
guest room. One elevator and
two staircases lead upstairs.
Small sitting areas will be
placed on the landings of the
staircase facing Leigh Street.
All laundry facilities will be
found on the second floor.
The rooms are arranged in
suties, with four room,s or eight
women, sharing a bathroom.
Each bathroom contains two
showers. The rooms open onto
terrances built into the building.
Corner terrances serve two
rooms while side terrances will
accomodate three rooms.
Sliding glass doors will provide
access to the terraces. Although
carpeting is still under
consideration, the sliding glass
doors will be equipped with
drapes.
Woman will sign up for the new
dorm in the regular manner by
drawing numbers.
