Panties, Panties
Everywhere
Kent, Ohio would be more than pleased if their
troubles were no more than a harmless panty raid. The
good citizens of Jackson, Mississippi would welcome
the frivolity of hundreds of boys storming the
puritanical barricades. The officials at the University of
Wisconsin would turn flips if all their problems dealt
with panties flying. BUT, this is Wilson, Wide Awake
Wilson, North Carolina where a panty raid rates the
distinction of being a major campus disorder.
The scene which took place in the wee hours of last
Friday morning began with a handful of boys pulling an
age old college prank. The cry of unmentionables grew
and the crowd swelled to hundreds and the women’s
balconies and windows hug full with frivolous, cheering
females.
The excitement mounted as the crowd mushroomed.
Whenever the activity waned, cries for more action
rekindled the flame. The police were summoned as the
clamour increased. Fortunately the officers sat quietly
and enjoyed the fun. I have been given to understand
they even asked for a share of the bounty.
Shouts of glee and peals of laughter were byproducts
of the affair. Is this a shameful act? Everyone’s decency
was intact when the uproar quietened down.
Now, what was the big problem, why was everyone so
uptight? There were no bombs bursting in the air, no
bricks hurled at police, and no fires raging in ad
ministration buildings. No one was attacked or harmed
in any way (except maybe the over-anxious young man
who tripped over a loose board beside the New Dorm).
The raid was a healthy outlet of tension and excess
energy.
The statement has been made that panty raids are old
fashion and other colleges and universities look upon
such affairs as child’s play. Other college and univer
sities also have limited hours for women. Would the
administration rather we invent bigger games and play
for keeps,So what is every woman on campus was up
after hours, maybe there was an epidemic of insomnia
on Friday a.m. Sept. 25.
Word to the wise administration: WHY LOOK FOR
TROUBLE WHERE IT REALLY DOESN’T EXIST.

The population explosion has affected ACC.
Everywhere one looks he sees more students, more
staff, more faculty than ever before. This increase in
population increases a problem that was bad to begin
with and now has grown from bad to worse, parking.
More students mean more cars and aside from the
pollution problem, there must be space for those cars.
Everyone knows there is only so much space to be
utlized for this purpose so why not take full advantage of
the land which exists.
The parking problem is especially urgent for com
muting students. These commuters may have to ride
around campus several times to seek out spaces that
often do not exist. BUT spaces do exist.
The faculty and staff are provided with several lots.
One of these lots has several vacancies nearly all the
time. I refer to the lot between the Science Building and
Art Building. There are often whole sections of this lot
vacant in the prime parking time for students. However,
the venturous student who dares leave his vehicle in one
of these vacancies is liable for a $5.00 fine. The same
holds true for faculty in the reverse situation but they
have more space in which to park. Most of the faculty
lives within walking or cycling distance of the campus.
Why can’t part (not all) of this lot be converted to
student use?
The situation is bad. Evidence of the fact is revealed
in the enterprise of a certain local businessman who
found a chance for gold in “them thar” lots. That’s bad.
