NUMBER SEVENTEEN
ew American flag is now flying above the Atlantic Christian
f„llese campus through courtesy of the U.S. Air Force. Par-
11 responsible for the gift is John Lee McLaughlin of the
'liege maintenance staff. McLaughlin is reponsible for the
raising and lowering of the flag on campus. A few weeks ago he
oted the old flag was becoming a bit worn and mentioned it to
the local U.S. Air Force recruiter. This week the college
received a new flag. Shown taking part in the presentation are,
left to right, McLaughlin, T. Sgt. Leonard Mitchell, local
recruiter, U. Diane Fulcher of Raleigh, and Joe Harwood,
president of the ACC Student Government Association.
The SGA Executive Board, in
response to the new guidelines
regarding naming campus
buildings, passed a resolution to
refer to the ACC Student Center
as the Dr. C. H. Hamlin Student
Center. A motion by Day Student
President, Bob Moore, coincided
with the resolution, Moore
suggested that the SGA
recommend Dr. Hamlin as
Tarheel of the Week, a feature of
the News & Observer.
Further business of the
evening included the setting of
dates for election activities,
acceptance of a plea to join the
Southern University Student
Government Association, and a
petition to the board to recognize
the B.P. Club.
The following resolution was
presented to the board by Kay
Dunn, Senior President;
Be it hereby resolved that the
Students and Faculty of Atlantic
Christian College hereafter refer
to the Student Center as the Dr.
C. H. Hamlin Student Center.
Because of his many years of

Discussion On Sex Tell It
'Sex and the College Student
ii Today’s So-Called Sexual
Sevolution” was the topic
iscussed by Dr. Takey Crist,
issistant Professor of The
Department of Obstetrics and
Cynecology at UNC last week,
lie discussion was sponsored by
Campus Awareness Com-
iiltee.
Dr. Crist questioned the
ffiistance of a sexual revolution
Ij noting the lack of a clear
movement in an “understood
and generally supported
irection.” He described the
tirrent attitude rather as a
'ml wilderness” with the
fflllege student caught in its
nidst. The college student,
iccording to Crist, has added a
lew question to his search for
iWty. “Should I or shouldn’t
I", a question which was
iraditionally ignored.
Rejecting the seemingly ar
tery rules of morality in the
N, Crist feels today’s youth
ite seeliing “an empirical or
pwtical basis to make their
Mraldecisions.” He went on to
iiijgest “many nice young
Wle are fighting to find
mselves in a world that is
■g its best to turn them into
•ething else. While the en-
htainment industry has made
anal love a plaything, society
“tts have made it a disease,

““fusion, uncertainty, and

Crist questioned the decision
to participate in pre-marital sex
as a “buy now, pay later”
proposition, going on to state
“how are you going to feel if
payday is everyday.”
The validity of responsible sex
information was discussed by
the doctor. “To be well informed
about your body and its
physiological reactions doesn’t
make you promisuous. I can’t
believe, that understanding
human sexuality will cause
someone to demonstrate
irresponsible sexual behavior. I
believe, indeed; the opposite.”
He told the audience that they
must make an effort to get
proper information with regards
to the body and its function and
not to be satisfied with rumor.
“No information,” he added, “is
better than misinformation.”
Regarding contraceptives,
Crist suggest one stop thinking
of their use as unromantic.
Physicians are available for
your aid he declared. “It is our
job, I believe, as physicians not
to decide what is good or bad but
to what’s necessary.” The
physicians should leave the
moral and religious aspects to
his patient.
Crist told the group that
‘ ‘every man and every woman in
this room has the capacity to
determine their own destiny.”
He challenged them “if you
decide to give up your virginity,
what do you plan to get in
return?”
A question and answer session
followed the lecture concerning
such topics as contraceptives,
both oral and intrauterine,
abortion, and sexual physiology.
Dr. Takey Crist is a member
of the Department of Obstetrics
and Gynecology at the
University of North Carolina
School of Medicine. He is noted
for his work with the students at
UNC in providing frank and
necessary information on sexual
matters. The conclusion to the
booklet “Elephants and But
terflies and Contraceptives”
was written by Dr. Crist. His
column “More Elephants and
Butterflies,” appears weekly in
the Daily Tarheel. This column
will be featured in the Collegiate
in the coming weeks.
The S.G.A. Executive Board
unanimously approved a
resolution to refer to the Student
Center as the Dr. C. H. Hamlin
Student Center. This resolution
came as a result of the Board of
Trustee’s decision to establish
guide lines for naming buildings
on campus, (refer to Expertive
Board article on page one and
President’s report on page two,
for further details).
Several students were asked
their opinions on the guidelines
established by the Board of
Trustess. Their reactions reflect
their sincere concern over the
guidelines and their affection for
Dr. Hamlin.
C.E.S. — Just because
someone has enough money to
finance a building on this
campus does that make him
worthy to have the building
named after him.
L.A.C. — If the students and
faculty feel that someone is
worthy of having a building on
this campus named after them
then it should be their priviledge
to do so.
R.A.S. — When a man has been
as devoted to a college and its
family as Dr. C. H. Hamlin to
Atlantic Christian College and
when he is held so dear in the
hearts of all the students and
faculty members there seems to
be little room for question in the
naming of the Student Center as
the Dr. C. H. Hamlin Student
Ppnfpr
K.A.A. — The fact that the
Board of Trustees dictated the
policy for naming buildings on
this campus after the petition
was submitted to name the
student center after Dr, C. H.
Hamlin shows again that the
voice of the students of Atlantic
Christian College has little or no
effect on major decisions.
R.M. — It is a shame that a
service and distinction to the
college, because of the warm
feelings we have in our hearts
for this fine citizen, because of
recent decisions of the ACC
Board of Trustees concerning
the naming of buildings on
campus, we, the undersigned
resolve to hereafter refer to
Student Center as the Dr. C. H.
Hamlin Student Center.
Dunn explained to the board
that “the petitions (to name the
center after Hamlin) were
turned in last fall, they (the
Board of Trustees) did not have
any rules or guidelines at all in
naming any buildings on
campus. When guidelines were
brought up last week they ruled
this (the petition) out of order.”
Joe Jarwood expressed the
opinion that this was not fair to
the students and faculty. He
assured the board that this
resolution would not be passed
Elections
Dates for upcoming elec
tions have been set by the
Student Government
executive board. Filing dates
have been set for March 8
through March 9 at midnight.
Campaigning will run March
10-19. Elections will be held
March 29 and 30.
person that has done so much for
this school, and most important
of all, is so loved by the students
can not have this recognition. It
seems senseless to have an
honor bestowed on a person after
he has done a job. Why can’t it be
given in the present to en
courage others to follow in his
footsteps.
S.L.F. — I don’t agree with the
guidelines. I believe that Dr.
Hamlin is loved more by the
students and has done more for
this college in the last forty-five
years than anyone has done in
the past or will take the time to
do in the future.
J.A.C. — The dedication and
concern that a man such as Dr.
C. H. Hamlin has shown toward
the college and the student body
in his many years of service
should be recognized and
rewarded in a manner showing
our true appreciation. The
naming of the Student Center is
the most appropriate in that it is
truly the center of student ac
tivity. This act would be a
reflection of a living dedication
rather than a memorial.
Coffee House
The Coffee House will open
tonight at 8 p.m. Appearing on
the platform will be the Esquires
combo, a locally popular group
which played at the Faculty
Reception last semester. The
Esquires will play intervals
throughout the evening.
Special note: The CoHee
House does not count as a night
out for resident women.
on for approval by the adminis
tration or Board of Trustees but
would be accepted by the student
body.
Filing, campaign and election
dates for SGA officers were set
by the board. Although the
Handbook states that filing be
held at least two days prior to
March 1, circumstances caused
a delay in the procedures. Filing
dates were set for March 8
through midnight, March 9.
Campaigning will run March 10-
19 with elections on March 29
and 30, Procedures for filing
may be found in the Handbook
along with qualifications.
The board appropriated $80 to
cover expenses for joining
SUSGA. The extra $1,800
collected from this semester’s
student fees was appropriated to
the Student Center Committee
and the Entertainment Com
mittee.
The B.P. Club, ACC’s new pep
organization, was given two
weeks to present a constitution
to the SGA for official
recognition.

slight increase in college tuition,
and nominated two new persons
for seats on the board.
The trustees approved a
tentative operating budget of
$3,073,773 for the 197-172
academic year. The new budget
reflects increases of cost of
living and inflation as well as
providing for three additional
faculty members and cost of
living increases in salary for
faculty and staff members. The
board will take final action on
the budget at its regular October
meeting.
The board approved the

respect to faculty status for the
1971-72 academic year:

sence — William I. Duckworth,
assistant professor of music;

assistant professor of physical
education; and Dr. Jung Karp

1971-72 for further graduate
study — J. Ross Albert, assistant
professor of music; and Larry
Whitlock, assistant professor of
psychology.

Dr. Jung Karp Suhr from
assistant professor to associate
professor of political science;
and James A. Wooverton from
instructor to assistant professor
of geography.
Granted permanent tenure —
Dr. Mary Fetter Stough,
associate professor of English.
The board approved a tuition
increase of $25 per semester for
the 1971-72 academic year which
was brought about by inflation
and cost of living increases. The
board did not announce further
increases in room rent and
board.
The board was notified that a
special Parents’ Advisory
Council was in the process of
being organized which will serve
in an advisory capacity to the
college.
