number of business items.
Present at the meeting was
Mr. Tom J. Hackney Jr.,
chairman of the Board of
Trustees. Hackney, who said
that this was his first visit to an
Executive Board meeting an
swered questions posed by the
Board members and student
visitors. Hackney acknowledged
that the recent Trustee Day was
a very beneficial experience for

future years and suggested that
they be held every other year.
On the naming of the Hamlin

Trustee
Report
During the recent trustees
meeting, the trustees requested
that Dr. Wenger provide the
Collegiate with a copy of his
report to the trustees so that we
might examine it and report
items of interest to the students.
The four-page report deals with
various items such as: the In
tercollegiate Athletic Program,
Campus Security, Wage-Price
Freeze, Dorm rooms for Nursing
students. Carpeting of Hines
Hall and Admin, building,
parking, and the library annex.
In the area of athletics Wenger
noted that the Ad Hoc Com
mittee investigating athletics
recommended that soccer be
added to our existing in
tercollegiate program.
In regards to campus
security, Wenger reports that
the Pinkerton agency is
currently providing security
personnel which streghthen
campus security during night
hours. Also, the Wilson City
Manager has placed the College
parkings lots on the patrol beat
of police cruisers.
One major upcoming ex
penditure for the College ac
cording to Wenger’s report will
be a $22,000 project of carpeting
Hines Hall and the Ad
ministration Building. “One of
the greatest benefits,” Wenger
sated “will be sound control
which represents a substantial
problem in the classroom area of
Hines Hall.” The carpet has
been ordered for installation.
The crowded Hardy library
will have its load eased when
some of the infrequently used
volumes such as th Discipliana
collection are moved into a
vacant house across the street
from the library. The
authorization to purchase the
house was given by the
Executive Committee of the
Trustees on Nov. 12, 1971.

of-absence, was approved by the
board. The board approved the
return of J. Ross Albert to active
status following a one-year
leave-of-absence. A leave-of-
absence was granted to Dr.
Roger A. Bullard for the spring
semester, 1973, to release him
for full-time work on the Old
Testament Translating Com
mittee of the American Bible
Society.

Admin. Council
Makes Changes
The Administrative Council
met Friday, Feb. 25 and ap
proved a number of changes
concerning on and off campus
housing according to Dr. Arthur
D. Wenger, president of Atlantic
Christian College.
Perhaps the major change of
the meeting dealt with all
students being able to live off
campus when the dormitories
are full to capacity. This in
cludes male and female
students, freshman and senior
students.
Other changes approved by
the Council concerned freshmen
hours for women. Curfew hours
were extended to 10 p.m. on
Mon., Tues., Wed., and Thur
sday nights and to midnight on
Fri., Sat., and Sunday. Fresh
men women will also be allowed
to receive blanket permission.
In the area of off campus
visitation, the Council said that
parental permission will no
longer be required for female
students to visit in off campus
bachelor apartments.
These changes will be printed
in next year’s student handbook
and college catalogue. The
changes will not go into effect
until the 1972-73 school year.

engraved on a pla()ue recently
placed at the fountain in front of
the newly named Hamilin
Student Center The pla<(ue was
given by the seven Greek
organizations on campus during
ceremonies early this week
Several years ago the Inter
fraternity Council and Pan-
Hellenic Council appropriated
over $2,000 to construct a
fountain and walkway in front of
the student center which was
then under construction. The
fountain, which was constructed
out of rejected corners from the
top of the cafeteria, was un
named until January of this year
when the Greeks voted to name
it in honor of Dr. Hamlin who has
been affiliated with Atlantic
Christian College for over 47
years.
The presentation of the placjue
took place just a few days after
the Trustees voted to name the
student center building after
Hamlin, consequently the entire
student center area will serve as
a memorial to one of ACC's
oldest and most colorful
professors.
