Convocation Set
Services of worship in
meditation and prayer have
been scheduled by the Con
vocation Co-ordinating council
for all members of the college
community. These services are
to be held in Howard Chapel
from 11 a.m. to 11:25 a.m. on
Tuesday May 9, Thursday May
11, and Tuesday May 16.
The theme for meditation and
prayer on Tuesday May 9, will
be “Peace Among Men” with

May 11 service around the
theme, “Fullness in Life.” The

These services will be
structured for quiet moments of
reflection, contemplation and
prayer. They will be brief in
length in order to allow those
who only have an hour for lunch
time to attend and still have time
to eat.
Sanford, who obviously
believes himself to be that
“fresh voice,” got an unex

gradually found their seats in
front of four to five hundred
students. Although the majority
of the students remained silent,
they expressed their support by
the applause that was given to
the ones that expressed their
views. Tom Kawana, leader of
this new movement, asked the
students for serious and orderly
discussion with which the
NORBKRTIRVLNE
Sided Willi Student.s...
students most eagerly
cooperated. Although the
discussion began rather slowly
many ideas were epxressed
within the fifty minutes.
The new drinking law was first
on the agenda. The mouth of the
south, Elaine Davis, boldly told
the council that drinking
Help Needed
To Save A Life
Your help is needed to keep a
6-year-old girl on a kidney
machine. A major tobacco
company has agreed to help pay
the cost of themacine. For every
ten empty cigarette packs (not
necessarily their own brand),
the company will pay for one
hour of the machine's use.
Your donations will also gain
you some reward both
emotionally and financially. The
Freshman class (Class of 1975)
is donating a $10 prize to the
organization and a $10 prize to
the person who turns in the most
empty cigarette packs.
You may turn them in to:
Jimmy Adams, Waters, 313;
Mike Laing, Waters, 306; Beth
Harper, Hilley, 507; Libby
Smeltzer, New Dorm, 205;
Renee Joyner, Caldwell, 105.

for. If you don't want to com

anyway. Help save a life.
presently existed in all dorms
and that it was safer to drink in
your room rather than go out
driving and drinking. Miss Davis
related to the Administrtive
Council that the ACC students
would act like adults once they
were treated as adults.
A religious point of view was
taken by Dwight Bailey. Bailey
asked the council to pul
Christianity in each one's in
dividual hands, and not try to
control one's religious views If a
person wants to be a Christian,
drinking will not affect him, but
for those who are not concern
ed let him drink. According to
Havery Davis, the Ad
ministrative Council was not
really concerned with drinking
in the dorm, but mainly con
cerned with setting a good
community image to keep the
money coming in.
The discussion on drinking
gradually came to a halt, and
was followed by a brief
discussion on visitation. Beverly
Smith began the discussion by
asking the Administrative
Council for trust in the ACC
students. Miss Smith em
phasized that not having
visitiation did not put a halt to
anything, because “we will do
what we darn well please.” Miss
Elaine Davis took the floor once
again with two main ideas. Miss
Davis first stated that the men's
dorm room was not only a
bedroom, but also a living
room.She emphasized that if
people can not conduct them
selves properly in their living
rooms that they will not conduct
themselves properly anywhere.
The biggest laugh came when
Jim Abbott stated "That prisons
have even recognized the need
for visitation"
The visitation discussion was
followed by a debate on the
hours of ACC 'women. The
discussion was brief with
several ideas brought out. The
main idea stressed by several
was that since entertainment
must be sought outside of Wilson
that 1:00 a.m. was too early to be
in. Under the present rule, two-
thirds of the time is spent on the
highway seeking entertainment
and one-third enjoying it. Fresh
man, Julie Upchurch, hit with a
big blast when she stated
“women are now equal with men
and should have the same
rights.”
Due to the lack of time
Kawana read the rest of the list
of grievances to the ACC
students in which there was very
little discussion. As the meeting
