Saturday night with a surprising
loss at Pfieffer - without the play
of Bryan Chalk (due to
sickness), and without the play
of Billy Sauls.
The news of Sauls no longer
being with the team hit hard.
Students as well as faculty are
concerned on the eve of our
entering the play-offs, especially
the district tournament, in which
we are well seeded. Coach Nor
folk, when contacted for com
ment, said the decision was
made due to personal reasons,
and that further explanation is
unnecessary.
In effort to answer questions
the students have been
presenting all week, Billy
himself was asked the following
questions:
Editor: A lot of students are
really concerned about losing
you and the only explanation we
can get is “personal reasons.”
We were wondering if you could
comment further.
Sauls: I’m sorta skeptical about
commenting. Some people might
think it’s due to financial
reasons or things at home etc.,
but it just isn’t, it is not.
Editor; Is there any chance of
your returning this year or
coming back next year?
Sauls: I doubt it.
Editor: Will the athletic com
mittee take away your
scholarship?
Sauls: Next year, but not for this
spring semester.
Editor: Do you have any other
comment regarding the
situation of the outlook for the
tournament?
Sauls; No more than that they
stand in good terms, especially
in the District. I think the morale
is good. I’ve talked to a couple of
guys on the team and they seem
to be going at it hard. I wish I
could be with them - but un
fortunately, I cannot.
Myra Price, head cheerleader,
was contacted to reflect the
views of the cheerleaders and
others she is concerned with in
association with the team: “In
the two previous years I have
been a cheerleader here, I have

The National Ballet President

® an integral part of the
cultural and community life of
"'ashington, and its main
P'lrpose is to serve those needs,
whether at a glittering gala
performance before political
aid social leaders, or in special
*fee concerts for the un-
^rprivileged children of the
inner city.
Most of the company’s 30-week
5^son is spent in Washington,
rehearsing, performing, or
^eparing new works to add to
®e repertory. And, at the end of
®t season, the number of
wllets iti the repertory had
®weased to 37 ballets. The
'Gaining time is devoted to
®r-expanding tours
throughout the United States.

“Concerto Barrocco”; “Ray-
monda”; and “Don Quixota,
Pas de Deux.”

NUMBER SIXTEEN
Finalist
Is Named
The Woodrow Wilson National
Fellowship Foundation today
announced award winners in its
twenty-fifth annual fellowship
competition. Over 10,000 college
seniors were nominated by their
professors for the 1971-72
competition. Fifteen Regional
Selection Committees inter
viewed candidates and made
final selections. Three hundred
and five college seniors will
receive Woodrow Wilson Fellow
ships, and an additional 741 have
been named Finalists. The
purpose of the competition is to
encourage outstanding young
people to consider careers of
service, primarily in college
teaching.
A Woodrow Wilson Fellow is
supported by the Foundation for
a first year of study at the
graduate school of his choice.
While Finalists do not receive
financial support, they are
recommended for fellowships
and assistantships awarded by
graduate schools.
William R, (Billy) Dixon IV, of
Atlantic Christian College is one
of the Woodrow Wilson finalists.
Dixon, a major in English, is a
former Sports Editor of the
Collegiate, A Wilson residence
he is the only student in the
history of the college to achieve
this honor,
In announcing the awards, Dr,
H. Ronald Rouse, National
Director of the Foundation, said,
“We are encouraged each year
to find so many young men and
women who combine intellectual
curiosity and brilliance with a
deep concern for society’s needs.
Today there is too much
pessimism about the future of
higher education, and a tem
porary over-supply of Ph.D.’s
has been magnified out of all
proportion. It is important that
fine students be encouraged to
consider careers of college
teaching, where their talents
add quality and relevance to
higher education.”
In past years, some 17,000
college seniors have become
Woodrow Wilson Fellows, and
more than 6,000 now teach at
colleges and universities across
the country. Another seven to
eight thousand are still in
graduate school, preparing for
teaching careers.
Funds for Woodrow Wilson
Fellowships have been provided
by The Ford Foundation, F. M.
Kirby Corporation, Andrew W.
Mellon Foundation, Charles E.
Merrill Trust, Helena Rubin
stein Foundation, the U.S. Steel
Foundation, and by former
Fellows.
Friday, February 26 is the date that the National BaJlet of Washington, D.C. will appear in Wilson
in the Fike High School Auditorium. “Stop the World — I Want to Get Off” will be produced on
March 30. A limited number of tickets are available to ACC students through the music depart
ment at no cost for the concert.
Tell It
Many colleges and uni
versities across the country are
changing their curriculums with
the times. If you could change
the curriculum at Atlantic
Christian College, what would
you change.
M.K.B.: I would prefer pass-
fail courses in some basic
required subjects except in your
major and to do away with tfie 11
a.m. free hour.
C.J.I.: I would change the
block courses in education to a
more practical approach where
there is more teaching experi
ence than just classroom
methods.
P.R.E.: I would go to pass-fail
system for student teaching and
