Kinney Hart, President of the
Panhellenic Council, introduced
a motion to ask the ad
ministration to take additional
I security measures on campus to
I insure the safety and property of
i the members of the ACC com-
M munity. Recent incidents in
volving theft were brought to the
) attention of the board. Miss
Hart’s motion was approved

overwhelmingly.
Pre-Christmas exams were
the topic of a report by Senior
President, Kay Dunn, Dunn
conferred with Dean Swindell on
the feasibility of changing the
academic calendar to include
exams before Christmas and
combining the Christmas and
semester breaks. Swindell
argued that making this change
would exclude some of the
second semester transfers which
are vital to the ACC budget. N.C.
Wesleyan, according to Swin
dell, has been operating on the
early semester system for three
years and likewise has been
operating in the red for three
years. He explained that ACC
should not afford to run in the
red for even one year as such a
situation would probably result
in the closing of the institution.
Dunn reported that he had
checked the situation and found
that Louisburg, Chowan, South-
wood, St. Mary’s, Brevard,
Wingate, and Lees-McRay were
operating on the proposed
system. College of the
Albemarle and Lenoir Com
munity College, two schools on
the quarter system, had exams
prior to the holidays. These
schools were cited as the

primary sources of transfer
students to ACC. The only other
major contributor, Mt. Olive
was on the same system ACC
now employs.
A more thorough study con
sidering the problems of
changing the calendar was
suggested by Dunn and will be
carried out by his committee.
The Student Life Committee in
its Tuesday meeting approved
motion declaring fraternity
houses off-campus and per
mitting students in off-campus
housing to have alcoholic
beverages on premises. This
motion must now face a rigid
test before the Administrative
Council and if it meets success
there, further scrutiny before a
sub-committee of the Board of
Trustees.
The motion came through a
sub-committee investigation of
an IFC proposal of declare
fraternity house off-campus.
The addition pertaining to
alcoholic beverages was added
by the investigative sub
committee. Dean Jack Stellgies,
in presenting the revised motion,
explained that students living in
off-campus housing are still
considered under the jurisdic
tion of the college. Time and
geography make it a nearly
impossible human feat to
supervise every individual
apartment, therefore the frat
houses are perfect targets for
scrutiny if the administrative
privilege was enforced.
Adding the alcohol clause
made the bill more in line with
the original purpose of the IFC
motion. The committee, in effect

College Bulldogs play the
basketball team from the Uni
versity of North Carolina at
Wilmington. The game is to be
played in Wilson Gymnasium.
Game time will be 8 p.m.
Parents’ Weekend registration
will begin on Sunday, at 9:30
a.m., in the lobby of the Student
Center and continue through
lunch. Visiting parents will be
invited to attend morning
worship services in Howard
Chapel. A complimentary lunch
eon will be held in the Student
Center cafeteria. Following the
luncheon a special program will
be held.
In the afternoon parents will
have the opportunity to meet
with members of the college
faculty and administration.
To provide for flexible
schedules in sometimes
cramped facilities, some Sunday
activities for Parents’ Weekend
overlap in their timing. Students
can assist in making efficient
use of this time in several ways.
Frequently the last worship
service in Howard Chapel is
crowded while the early service
is not. If it is feasible for you and
your parents to attend the early
service beginning at 9:45 a.m.
and concluding at 10:30, this
would likely be helpful. Lunch
eon service will begin in the
cafeteria at 11:15 a.m. Eating an
early lunch will give you and
your guests time to tour the
campus and visit with some of
the faculty before the afternoon
program in the gymnasium
beginning at 2:30 p.m. If you
wish for your parents to visit
with a particular faculty
member, it might be helpful to
arrange an appointment.
Folmsbee, chairman of the
committee, THE COLLEGIATE
learned of the upcoming
programs open to students,
faculty and the public.
The North Carolina Symphony
will appear on Feb. 23, at 8 p.m.,

thology,” on May 13, 14, 15.

Department of English, Yale
University, outstanding
Shakespearean teacher and
scholar, will deliver lectures at
11 a.m., in Howard Chapel and at
3 p.m. in the Choral Room.
Folsmbee emphasized the
importance of publicity in the
upcoming programs. He said
that, “We should provide
frequent programs of varied
interest, often aimed at
specific groups that may not
attract more than two or three
hundred.” He said that this does
not remove the obligation of all
concerned to publicize per
sonally and in all other available
ways all programs sponsored by
the Concert and Lecture Com
mittee.
Folmsbee discussed the 1971-
72 program aimed at the Concert
and Lecture Committee’s
cooperation with the Wilson

was “laying it on the line” in
stead of trying to push through
several small bills.
A petition to exempt all second
semester seniors from paying
for meal tickets was discussed
by the committee in the
presence of Ralph Crumpler,
cafeteria manager, Milton
Adams, ACC business Manager,
and a few of the seniors signing
the petition.
Adams explained the current
method of handling practice
teachers individually according
to how meals they would miss.
The reduction of these students
would represent approximately
10 per cent of the current
program. A reduction of this size
was labelled as economically
infeasible.
The committee made no
decision on the petition but plans
to hold a discussion session on
the matter with interested
students.
Housing
It has been announced by the
officers of the Dean of Men and
Dean of Women that all students
desiring housing for the fall
semester, 1971, should fill out a
Housing Application by March 1,
as required by the college
catalogue. Applicantions 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 single students
who do not reside with their own
families (parents or relatives)
are required to live in the college
housing when available. Men
students under te age of 21 may
request permission of the Dean
of Men to live in private homes
in the City of Wilson when the
dormitories are filled to
capacity. Male and female
students 21 years of age and
older, who are unable to secure
college housing, may request
permission from the Dean of
Men or Dean of Women to make
their own housing arrange
ments.”

^^arine Officer’s Selection
Team will be on the Atlantic
Christian College campus
February 17 from 9 a.m. to 4
p.m.
The Red Cross Bloodmobile
will make its annual visit to the
Atlantic Christian College
campus on February 10, 11 and
12.
The Red Cross will set up their
units in the lobby of Hackney
Hall on Wednesday 12:00-5:00,
thursday 11:00-4:00, and Friday
10:00-2:00. The ACC Blood Drive
will be sponsored by the
Panhellenic Council.
To encourage participation
again among the Greek or
ganizations and the classes,
competition will be established
between the fraternities,
sororities and classes to see
which organization has the
largest percentage of its
membership to volunteer to
donate blood. A $25.00 prize will
be given to the winning
organization in each division.
Last year 356 people donated
their blood to the Red Cross. Of
this number 235 were from
sororities and fraternities, 63
independents, and 11 faculty
members with a total of 262
pints. Considering the size of our
student body, the totals were not
very impressive. The
Panhellenic Council urges
everyone to give in order to meet
this year’s goal of 330 pints.
It’s that time of year again when
the Red Cross and their Blood-
mobile make the rounds. They
will be on the Atlantic Christian
College campus February 10-12.
This year’s Blood Drive will be
sponsored by the Panhellenic
Council.
