Parents Council
NUMBER ELEVEN
Opposes Visitation
The newly formed Parents
Advisory Council met Nov. 19
and discussed among other
things, the topic of visitation.
According to David Cleveland,
Director of Development for the
college and chairman of the
Council, the Council was asked
to react to the question, “Are
you in favor of visitation of
women to men's dorm rooms on
Sundays from 1-4 p.m.?”
Cleveland told a Collegiate
reporter that some of the
parents felt that visitation was a
good opportunity for students to
act responsibly, while other
parents felt that visitation was
an invasion of privacy for those
opposed to guests in the dorm
rooms. Cleveland went on to say
that the Council expressed its
opinion of visitation in a straw
vote with 7 parents voting for it
and 12 against it.
When asked if any plans have
been made to inform the trustees
of the Advisory Council’s opinion
of the matter, Cleveland said
that no steps are being planned
at this time to do that.
In other action, the Council
held a lengthy discussion of the
purposes of the College, con
centrating on the statement of
purposes found in the college
cataloge.
The Advisory Council plans to
meet again in March.
Faculty Votes To
Keep Pink Slips
The faculty and staff of
Atlantic Christian College voted
recently to continue sending out
pink slips to the parents of fresh
men and sophomores according
to Collegiate sources. The action
came at the Faculty-Staff
meeting held Nov. 10.
Dean Swindell, representing
the Central Committee made the
motion to abolish the pink slips
and after it was seconded, an
ammendment was made to
abolish them for sophomores
and keep them for freshmen, but
after lengthy discussion con
cerning the “value” of pink
slips, both the motion and am
mendment failed.
This was the second attempt
made in recent years to do away
with pink slips. In 1968 the SGA
voted to recommend to the
faculty and staff that pink skips
should be abolished but it was
defeated by the faculty and staff.
However, the College has done
away with sending pink slips out
to the parents of seniors and
juniors.
Trustee Day To
Be Held.
By IMOGENE THOMAS
Exactly who are the members
of the Board of Trustees of
Atlantic Christian College?
What are their responsibilties as
members? How are they chosen
and why does so much power lie
in the hands of these men?
These are just several of the
many questions which Atlantic
Christian students can ask
during the first Board of Trustee
Day to be held on campus,
Tuesday, February 22.
The day prior to the next board
meeting has been designed by
the Convocation Coordinating
Council to provide a time for
Atlantic Christian students,
faculty, and administration to
acquaint themselves with these
members. In the past. Board of
Trustee members have arrived
and left campus on the same
day, thus limiting the op
portunity for students to really
get acquainted with them, and
most important for them to get
to know us.
The Council in cooperation
with all students, faculty, and
administration hope to show to
the board members a typical
day of an Atlantic Christian
student, in essence, they will be
3 “student for a day.”
As students for a day, the
Trustees will be escorted by
different ACC students around
our college campus and com
munity. They are invited to
attend class, eat in the cafeteria,
visit dorms, tour the town of
Wilson, and participate in
various campus activities.
• •
The highlight of the day will be
a panel discussion involving a
panel of Trustees, students,
faculty and administration for
open discussion on topics con
cerning our college.
This is the “big” day all
students have asked for. This is
a time for students to express
their ideas and gripes to the
board members. The council
believes this day can be a
rewarding and enlightening one
to all who actively participate.
All students interested in par
ticipating in the event are asked
to sign up at the student center
beginning Friday, December 10,
Remember this is your chance
to “tell it like it is”, on our
campus. Get involved 1!
