New Dean At ACC By JIM ABBOTT On Sept. 1 Jack Stelljes assumed his duties as the Dean of Men at ACC. Since then he has been immersed in the many activities which accompany tehe opening of school. Recently, he took time out from his duties to talk with “THE Collegiate” about his views regarding several contemporary issues. Like many of the young people on campus, Dean Stelljes is concerned about the problems confronting our nation and the world. He openly voices his opposition to not only the Vietnam war but to all wars and all violence. He is critical of those churches which for hun dreds of years have been ex pounding social ills and problems but have done little to rectify the. He said, “I am encouraged by the students who are willing to become committed in an active way to the improvement of our society, and I would like to see some type of organization established on campus which would work on a local level to improve some of the depressing situations in theWilson area.” He went on to say, “I feel that this kind of organization would definitely fall within the scope of the church-related college.” In regards to the Greek Notices!

Wenger said that in the Fifties and Sixties students were told to get in volved. Dr. Wenger stated that “today’s student by inclination and preparation is better prepared to receive something of infinite worth from their edu cation than his counterparts of the Fifties and Sixties. Focusing the remainder of his address around five key words in the vocabulary of success these words were used: Discipline, Perspective, Priorities, Involve ment, and Commitment. He stated that “self discipline is one of the basic ingredients of success. Choices based upon priorities determine the thrust of one’s life. Involvement is the natural, logical sequence of a life of inner discipline, sound priorities, and clear per spective.” In conclusion Dr. Wenger stated that commitment char acterizes the way man has in volved himself in society. He was hopeful that our experi ences, intellectual and spiritual growth will enable us to become a part of the solution to man’s problems, rather than becoming a part of these problems. Tell It Like It Is! Watching the freshemn on campus for the first two weeks reminds us all of our first weeks at college.

R.J.G. female—I like the fact that your professors are per sonally interested in you. I like the friendly attitude of the up perclassmen. The only thing I really dislike is that too many students leave on the weekend. C.A.W., male—I don’t like having to climb to the windows after 7:00 to see the freshmen girls. K.L.M., MALE—The people here are very friendly. The community needs to offer more entertainment for college students. B.M.H., male—The food is not exactly home cooking. I like the fact that it’s a small college so you can get to know everyone. I appreciate the fact that the college gives the students things like concerts to keep them here on the weekend.
