Since the musical “Hair”
made its debut astrology has
been re-introduced into the
twentieth century. Not many
people realize that astrology has
played an important part in the
history of the world. It had its
beginnings in ancient civil-
zations, and many medieval
kings had astrologers as part of
their councils. It was a fore-
ij runner of modern astronomy. It
* lost its appeal after Copernicus
I proved the sun to be the center of
j our solar system. Its revival
1 came with the song “Aquarius.”
, Since that time the popularity of
astrology has skyrocketed. Its
influence is seen throughout the
contemporary scene. Thus it
seems only fitting that the theme
for our 1970-71 Homecoming
should be “The Age Of
Aquarius,” with the twelve
houses of the sun being
represented.
The Sophomore Class is
representing Aries, the Ram. It
is the sign for March 21-April 19.
Aries is ruled by Mars and
represents birth. A person born
under this sign always gets what
he wants — his needs come first.
He is innocent and fearless;
dreams fabulous dreams, but he
cannot lie. He is very direct and
has a super ego. He will always
be at the head of his chosen
career, and he usually happier
at creative arts and business.
Patience is not his strong point.
Taurus the Bull is to be
represented by Sigma Phi
Epsilon. It is the sign for April
20-May 20. Taurus is ruled by
Venus. He has a strong, silent
attitude, and he is steady and
solid. He wants to be left alone,
and his temper is seldom
displayed impulsively. He
seldom worries, and he is
stubborn. He is strongly attrac
tive to the opposite sex. He is a
homefolk.
Gemini, the Twins, has been
assigned to the Junior Class, The
dates are May 21-June 21;
Gemini is ruled by Mercury. He
is impatient and knows where he
stands. He has quick-moving
eyes and is eager. He has
graceful movements and is
immediately friendly. He can do
two things at once; he doesn’t
like routine. He is skilled at
creative writing and is very
honest. He hardly ever gets
enough sleep. He seeks an ideal.

“The Age of Aquarius” will come
into full bloom this weekend as
the Atlantic Christian College
Homecoming brings on the
parade. All twelve houses of the
sun will be seen as the parade
progresses down the annual
parade path of Nash Street.

become the college’s 14th
academic department. The new
department will come about
through division of the college’s
present Department of
Education and Psychology. A

ment has not yet been an

A wish will often reveal the
personality and the inner most
desires of a person. Some wishes
show selfishness, some show
honest concern over the world
situation, some show concern
over the campus situation...
these are just a few. If you had
one wish...what would your
wish be?
N.K.H., senior; I would wish
peace for all mankind and more
understanding consideration for
all people.
E.K.T., senior: I would wish
for peace and understanding
between people.
J.C.B., junior: I wish I has a
million dollars.
I.E.H., junior: I wish for a
Harley Davidson Sportster.
S.T.A., senior; I wish I had a
ocean of cold Pabst Blue Ribbon
Beer.
C.B.K. sophomore; I wish I
had Raquel Welch for a room-
