Board Reviewed j By JIM ABBOTT The Atlantic Christian College community this year is com posed of some 2,000 persons including students, faculty, ad ministrators and employes. Although our size is small in- comparison to some other eudcational institutions, ACC is till larger than many in corporated towns and cities. Consequently, to maintain a sense of order, purpose and direction among its component members, the college has, since the early 1930s provided for a student government which enables the students to govern themselves and to have a voice in the operation of the college. During the years, the concept of a student government has been continually re-evaluated by both students and administrators to assure maximum effectiveness. This re-evaluation has brought 3hout some significant struc tural changes. In 1936 the student govern- rorat at Atlantic Christian College was named the Faculty- Student Cooperative Association. The duties of this organization were threefold; to administer athletic funds, to handle discipline cases, and to carry out the functions of a <^a®pus government. The Executive Board was composed seven students and four faculty representatives, all teted by student and faculty votes. The second president of the Operative Association was Dr. rah Bain Ward, (now dean of '‘'"Kien). Dr. Ward recalls, “at New Voting Procedures The SGA Executive has ap proved the following voting procedures as a proposed edition to the constitution. You will be given a chance to approve or dis approve the proposal on February 15-16 in a general election. Please study the issue and be sure to vote next Monday and Tuesday. If approved these procedures will go into effect in the Spring SGA elections. The elections must be publicized in The Collegiate and Green Slate two weeks prior to the election. There is to be a compulsory meeting for all candidates soon after their nomination. The SGA President and the Senator of the Senior Class will set the date and conduct the meeting. It will be explained that there shall be no that time the Executive Board was a very powerful or ganization. We handled the finances of all intercollegiate athletics, paid the referees, and even owned a car for trans portation. The funds came then, as they do now, from student activity fees.” Dr. Mildred Hartsock, now chairman of the English depart ment was very active in the Cooperative Association. In retrospect she said, “I liked the old system of student govern ment, but I would hate to see us return to it now. Our whole social situation has changed, as has the total nature of the school. There used to be a greater sense of unity among the different factions of the school than there is today.” Thirty-four years after the inception of the Cooperative Association, we find a different system of studeht government prevailing on the ACC campus. The formation of the Student Government Association was approved by the Board of Trustees in 1965. This was the first time that the trustees had officially recognized the ex istence of a student govern ment on campus. David Webb, while serving as president of the student body at the time, op timistically observed, “Our new SGA, replacing the Cooperative Association will give students more freedom in governing student affairs.” Although the SGA no longer handles discipline cases nor See BOARD Page 4 Miss Nancy Jackson sponsored by Caldwell Hall was named the “Most Popular Freshman Girl” Friday night at the annual dance held by Sigma Pi Fraternity. Miss Sally Beth Jones was named runner up in the event. Miss Jones was sponsored by Alpha Sig Fraternity. Pep Club There has been a rumor going around campus that ACC students do not have spirit. A concerned group of students have set about trying to remedy the situation. ACC is about to have a Pep Club. An organizational meeting is to be held Tuesday, Feb. 16, at 7:30 p.m. in Wilson Gym, All students, including cheerleaders and Pep Band members are urged to attend. It is the ambition of the proposed club to provide support for the athletic teams by motivating school spirit. Future plans include projects to help curb expenses of student transportation to out of town athletic events. The organizers intend to guide the club to SGA affiliation. Financing of the new club should come from such projects as after-game socials, car washes, the sale of pom-poms and booster badges, and club membership fees. All these arrangements are of course tentative to the success of Tuesday nights meeting. The chances of the Bulldogs achieving a high positionin the NAIA standings are highly optimistic. Student involvement with an organization of this sort could provide the necessary incentive to inspire a trip to Kansas City. campaigning on the first floor of Hines Hall except for approved posters. Also posters will only be allowed on the proper places as specified in the Student Hand book, Each student must present his I,D, card and his voting card in order to vote.

The exhibition is presented for the people of North Carolina. “It is an attempt to bring the finest available photography before the people and also t make art a more significant part of our daily lives.” The photographers were chosen by the Council with the aid of four out-of-state judges and an in-state panel of prac ticing photographers. Several of the photographers were chosen through a statewide com petition. Winners were placed in six categories: People (black and white); Places (black and white); Things (black and white); People (color); Places (color); and Things (color). The exhibition is being sponsored by the Wilson Arts Council. It was first presented at the North Carolina State Fair in October, 1970.
