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

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.

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

Exhibition
“North Carolina by North
Carolinians,” an art exhibition
sponsored by North Carolina
Arts Council, is presently ap
pearing in Hines Hall lobby
through February 13. 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. Governor Bob
Scott in May, 1970 presented
Medals to the top winners. The
exhibition is available for
exhibition anywhere in the state
for a nominal fee. All students
and faculty are encouraged to
