—Saturday, May 6 is primary day in N.C. and I hope all registered
students and faculty will take time to vote.
—It would be a big help I think, if the faculty at their May meeting
would pass a resolution supporting some, if not all the student
grievances now being considered by the Administrative Council and
Trustees.
—The outdoor concert Tuesday night was really great. I hope there
can be more like it next year.
—Terry Sanford told several people last Thursday that he was really
impressed with the beauty of our campus and the maturity of those
students who asked him questions.

Guest Opinion
By PHILHARDV
The students of ACC have finally decided to stand up for their
rights. The fever of change is spreading throughout the campus and
everyone is now waiting patiently. The students voiced their opinions
at two separate meetings and they are now ready for action
Many thanks should go to the Student Life Committee for the super
job they did. The Administrative Council met and their decisions are
very important.
If the Administrative Council should pass all of these grievances
then we would have to wait for the Trustees to meet. This meeting wili
be held graduation day - a lot of good that will do the students for they
will not know the outcome of the vote. With the meeting on this date
the Trustees could very well vote down all of our grievances and the
fever of change will be controlled until next year — same time same
station. ’
Some action should be taken to have the Trustees meet before this
date. If an emergency meeting would be called, then the vote could be
tabulated and we would have a better chance of getting something

Apathy Is Dead
During recent years student apathy has been the
chief prohibitive force on the Atlantic Christian campus.
Because students have been apathetic, many social
regulations have remained unchanged, the SGA has
been virtually powerless, and campus life in general has
been a bore.
But alas, a type of Renaissance is taking place now
amongst Greeks and non-Greeks, seniors and freshmen,
faculty and students, straights and freaks, smokers and
non-smokers; everyone is getting it together and the
unity which has resulted will be more powerful and
effective in attaining change than any editorial or SGA
resolution.
In the past week over one thousand students have
attended meetings in which they voiced their feelings
regarding the campus social situation. The Student Life
committee acted favorably on several key issues, but
the bulk of action now needed must come from the
Administrative Council and the Board of Trustees.
The Renaissance has also extended into the political
arena. All types of ACC students have involved them
selves in various state and national campaigns and it is
estimated that quite a large number of ACC students
have registered to vote since receiving the franchise.
The change in political awareness is more obvious when
one realizes that five or six years ago a well-known U.S.
senator was on campus and only about 30 students
turned out to hear him. Last week over 400 students
spent their Thursday lunch hour listening and
questioning a dark horse presidential candidate.
Yes, I think student apathy at ACC is dead and I’m
certain that few of us will mourn its passing.

New Wine
After a brief absence for a
quick journey to see former
butcher turned ding-bat barber
the New Wino is back. I wouldn t
stoop to the journalistic lows of
naming anyone by their
Christian nomanclature, but
religion major Bud Parish will
cut some of your foliciles if you
happen to even wander close to
his barber chair. It’s a good
thing Bud is going into the
ministry, he certainly couldn’t
support his wife long as a barber
after the word got out as to his
tonsorial skills. It's rumored he
used to work in the Meat Dept, of
the A & P and we all know what
he did.
The most newsworthy item
last week on campus was the
rable that accosted the Student
Life Committee last Wednesday
evening. It was quite a
gathering. The discussion ran
the gambit from the seriousness
of the hours ACC women should
be able to keep or not keep to the
matter of the nakedness of our
feet. Some brother of the Sigma
Pi said he was distrubed because
he wanted to feel the $22,000
worth of carpet in the classroom
building with his feet. Even
Dean Ward had to chortle at that
remark. The Student Life heard
our gripes whether they were
absurd or serious. Most of what
was said was bordering on
responsible, but when students
call for equal rights for women
at ACC as guaranteed by the
Constitution of these United
States, well, I mean there are
limits this fine Christian in
stitution can go to. After all who
is the school here to serve, the
students, or our parents or the
administration! Pray tell, why
should we trust people old
enough to vote. The Congress of
the U. S. isn’t really that
responsible a body. All they do is
have a high old time with the tax
payer’s money and try to keep
up with Henry Kissenger. What
do Viet Nam veterans know
about shaping their own
discipline rules?
I must congratulate the
Committee on the points they
have already acted on and ap
proved. It’s about time the
people who set policy respond to
student’s desires. The wine vat
spills the best salute to that sort
of effort.
I for one have been wondering
what sort of organization a
certain religion professor has
perpetrated on certain af
ternoons in the hallowed Halls of
Hines.
I personally have heard from a
reliable second hand source that
there has been chanting,
praying, and all grades of magic
such as the calling back of dead
spirits, especially of some dude
named Jesus Christ. These
strange happenings must be
investigated and I call on all
students to prepare for their
investigation by finding more

Last Thursday evening the
Adler Deutsch Club held its last
meeting of the year at the home
of Dr. and Mrs. Schatz. The
meeting was a bit out of the
ordinary. In the spirit of Spring
the members of the club threw a
spring picnic in the mood of an
Oktober Fest — well almost.
Among honored guests at
tending the meeting were Dr.
and Mrs. Wenger, Mrs.
Shakelford, and Mrs. Latham.
Also three of Atlantic Christian’s
foreign students added a truly
international flare to the
evening. They were Francisco
Matamoros, Maffeo Sin, and
Howard Tang.
And so with a lot of German, a
flare of Spanish, and a touch of
Oriental the evening was on.
While eating Louis Duprie’s
hamburgers and hotdogs casual
conversation evolved between
the club members and the
guests.
As the evening wore on con
temporary German songs such
as ‘‘Wind in der Nacht” and
Trink, Trink” were sung. Later
that night the main area of in
terest was Astrology and Palm
Reading. Mrs. Latham and Mrs.
Schatz. both being proficient in
that field, seemed to be in
competition with each other as
people switched from one to the
other trying to get a longer lease
on life.
But the highlight of the
Hoover Dead
At Age 77
J. Edgar Hoover, who has
been director of the Federal
Bureau of Investigation for 48
years, died at his home in
Washington, D. C. Monday
night. Hoover, who was 77 years
old, has served as FBI director
for the past eight U. S.
presidents.
out about this character from
Israel. If you should personallv
encounter him proceed with
extreme caution because he has
been known to change the at

Until the last issue of this

Letter
German April Feast
evening was the presentation of
the Errenurkunde Award to
Mike Raper and Alice Wyndham
for their outstanding per
formance in German I.
Also the new officers for 1972-
73 were installed. They are Mike
Raper, President; Robert
Cayton, Vice President; and Vi
Andrews, Secretary-Treasurer.
The outgoing officers are Ray
Griffin, President; Mike Crew,
Vice President; and Terry
Rogerson, Secretary-Treasurer.
All in all, the evening was
undoubtedly one of the most
successful that the club has yet
experienced. We would again
like to thank our guests for
coming, and we hope that they
will come again next year. As a
closing remark, it can perhaps
be said of Der Adler Deutsch
Club that “Wir geben uns mehr
Muhe.”
I was very peeved when 1 left
the “IF” concert last Monday
night. Sure, they were just as
peeved at the students who were
there or the majority who were
not. But if they are the fine
performers Temple claims them
to be, they would have given a
better concert.
As a performer myself, 1 know
what it is like to work long hours,
striving for perfection on stage,
only to see how apathetic AC
students are when it comes to
supporting our plays. But the
students who do come and the
others who come and even pay to
see our plays want to see a good
performance. And the cast does
their best, no matter how small
the audience is, because the ones
that do come are sincerely in
terested.
“HERO” the back up group
are not as well-known and
maybe that’s why they did their
best, but the fact is, they did put
on a good concert and gave it all
they had as they should have, for
those of us who went to hear
them.
So why should the musicians of
“IF” cheat us, the ones who tooii
time and paid money to see a
good performance?! They were
paid and I am very insulted that
they felt it their liberty to per
form for a limited time and do
their evidently “not greatest”
works.
Is this what good performers
