Challenge 71
Probes Ecology
Six ACC students represented
the college recently at the
Challenge ’71 Symposium at
Wake Forest University. The
Challenge topic, “The Challenge
of Survival: Not Man Apart,”
focused on environmental issues
with special concern over where
society is heading for the future.
Andy King, Winn Clayton, Diane
Hicjman, Bill Bousman, James
E. Jones, and Joyce Copeland
composed the local delegation.
Keynoting the four-day event
was consumer-advocate, Ralph
Nader. Nader challenged the
Challenge audience to consider
support for a North Carolina
program to provide funds for a
student-public interest
organization to handle student
concerns. Such a program, he
informed the group, is in the
pioneer stage in Oregon and
Minnesota. The establishment of
a citizen interest lobby would
have tremendous effect on
congressional action was em
phasized in his address, “as long
as these millions of Americans
sit watching the soap operas,
chatting on the phone, bowling
or watching the Dallas Cowboys
and the New Orleans Saints in a
kind of a drunken stupor, as long
as that continues and those
valuable resources of citizen
time and energy are fiddled
away, then no matter how much
the economy grows...there shall
be little improvement...We’re
down to the grass-roots, citizen-
power,” The recent defeat of the
SST by the powerful citizens
lobby was cited as an example of
public opinion and its effect on
the legislator.
Other major addresses of the
Challenge ’71 program included
a plea for personal commitment
in the clean earth campaign by
Kentucky ex-legislator, Harry
Caudill; and the expression of a
need for a reinstatement of
diversity in human life by
changing the goal of progress to
quahty rather than quantity by
Rene Dubos. Panel discussions
groups included such dignitaries
as Mr, Roy Sowers, Chairman of
Coming

singer will perform and serve as
emcee.
the State Department of Con
servation and Development;
Attorney General Robert
Morgan’s Ocean Law Con
sultant, Thomas Caine; and
Tenth District Congressman,
James T. Broyhill.
The major theme recurrent in
the Challenge ’71 was the need
for individual involvement and
concern over environmental
problems. The idea of a
Challenge program was a result
of a 1%4 bull session at WFU.
The Wake Forest students saw a
need for agreater involvement
with the problems that face
mankind. Challenge is now held
every other year at the Winston-
Salem school.
Eighty-three schools in the
Eastern United States were
invited to attend this year’s
program. The participation of
these schools was light, but the
program accomplished its goal
of instilling in its participants a
compassion and understanding
needed, in facing up to solving
problems.
