Rambling
Now that the war is over and the list of POWs has
been released, it is time to turn toward something more
constructive. It is time to destroy the myths surrounding
college students. College students are thrown into a
group of long-haired, pot smoking, unfit group of
humans. This is simply untrue. In fact, just the opposite
is true for the vast majority. Many students are just
looking for some outlet to funnel their energy. Let us all
work together toward the completion of our chosen task.
About the mishap involving three of our students this
past weekend. They were injured in an automobile
wreck in which a freshman was driving. Chances are
tha the freshman was as good a driver as you or me, but
the fact that it was a freshman makes it different. The
student may or may not have been able to avoid the
accident but the fact that the driver was a freshman
makes her guilty. Let’s look at the motive behind the
action before we punish unjustly.
Congradulations are in order for Jim Nixon who is
leading District 29 in free throw shooting with an 88.9
percentage.
The talk reaching this desk is that there will be a bus
going to the game this Saturday. The game is with
Pembroke State and with the bus, should provide a good
crowd.
As we come closer to the end of this year, let us
remember something that Winston Churchill said, “This
is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end.

Thank God There’s Peace
At 10 p.m., January 23, President Nixon was on
national television stating to the American public that
Peace was here.
At 10:15 p.m., January 23, four beautiful people, who
had heard the announcement, headed for all corners of
the campus to spread the good news. To commemorate
the peace, those four beautiful people decided to hold a
chapel service. Intercoms were buzzing and mouths
were flapping. Within fifteen minutes the chapel was full
of people — happy people! PTL. A hymn was sung
rejoicingly, there was a reading on Peace, and finally a
time of silent prayer, where each individual prayer
could be heard by the good Lord himself.
This has renewed my faith that God is still here on
campus and in the people of the campus. We must reach
out like those at the service — reach to the hand of God,
for the hand of God signifies Peace and without Him
there can be no peace.
Before you go to bed tonight, say a prayer. It can be
loud and long, or short and quiet, but you can bet your
bottom dollar that the Lord hears them all.
The spirit is now very much alive in the students of
Atlantic Christian so let us pray for a place of solitude in
which to manifest the spirit. “Be persistent in prayer
and keep alert as you pray with thanks to God. ”
Collossians 4:2.

Letter To Ed
Dear Editor,

Undone
By ROBBIE STEE.N
I don't know how many of you
make it a habit to visit the
grocery store and stock up on
those “everyday low prices”,
but it has come to my attention
that the price of milk is shooting
out of sight. Why should we have
to pay sixty-eight or seventy
cents for the same half gallon of
milk that sells in L.A. for fifty-
four cents and in “the land of
sky-blue waters” for only fifty-
two cents? The State Milk
Commission has offered such
excuses as; Carolina’s soil
requires more fertilizer than
that of the Midwest; our state
must import considerable
amounts of feed; we have higher
sanitation standards; and finally
that the dairy industry in North
Carolina only began to mature
after W. W. II and that it’s still
trying to realize expenses from
as far back as 1950. All of these
seem to be respectable
arguments but I wonder at the
fact that North Carolina’s soil
requires more attention than
that of Los Angeles, California,
or if perhaps they have milk
confused with a different brew in
Milwaukee.
Not satisfied with any of the
arguments that I had en-
courntered thus far, I decided to
seek answers right from the
cow’s mouth. The Moo U. Dairy
Farm was where I ended up, at
the stall of one Ms. Gertrude
Guernsey. Ms. Guernsey is a
real authority in her field and
she provided me with an insight
that I had yet to encounter. It
seems that the Guernsey group
feels it is being exploited. They
cited instances such as that
clown, Ronald McDonald, who
sells hamburgers, Yogi the
Bear, selling fried chicken, and
those three midgets, Snap,
Crackle, and Pop, who sell
cereal, as examples of
minorities who made it big. Yet,
no one has offered a contract to
any of the Guernsey group to
promote, say. Lawn and Garden
Grass Seed or even Dupont fly
swatters. She elaborated by
saying her group was boycotting
all milking machines, as well as
any restless fingers. She ex
pressed a desire for the
recognition, which she said was
long overdue to her members. I
promised to keep them in mind
but excused myself for I had an
appointment with some
Hereford steers.
Harry Hereford greeted me
and offered to answer all my
questions without any bulls —t. I
thanked him for his candidness
and proceeded with my in
terview. His arguments were
along the same lines of the
Guernseys. The Herefords were
tired of such characters as
Charlie the Tuna and Wilma the
Whale reaping all those network
profits, while they themselves
were left to cry in their milk. I
noted that Borden had seen fit to
hire Ms. Elsie Borden to aid
them in their advertising
campaign. Mr. Hereford
granted me that, and, adding
that he hoped I wouldn’t take
him for a bum steer, stated that
his group felt that this was
taking women’s lib a bit too far.
His arguments made sense, and
I asked him what his plans were.
He said that the Herefords were
currently in the second week of a
sit down strike for increased
promotional offers, as well as a
pension for those members who
are over the hill. I thanked him
for his time and left Moo U.
So readers, there you have the
reason for these outrageous milk
prices. I suggest that we launch
a campaign to see that the
requests of North Carolina’s
cattle be met. Talk to your
grocery store managers, your
dairy man and write your
congressman. Remember “Only
Love Beats Milk” but who wants
to kiss someone who’s teeth are
falling out due to a lack of
calcium?!

This Sunday night has pmv^
to some ACC students ^
student welfare stands a dista'
second behind the blacic Z
whiteMickey Mouse rules of ti!
college. Some explanation ^
make this statement evident
The situation: An acciden,
mvolvmg three ACC student!
returnmg from home thi\
weekend caused much alarm
among friends here on campus
The news of the accident Ls
sketchy, and the friends on
campus sought every possible
means of gaining knowledge
about possible injuries to th4
involved in the accident The
state police, the city police
many radio stations, T.V
stations, hospitals, operators
and information services were
called to acquire knowledge of
the accident. There was much
concern about these fellow
students by others here on
campus. When most attempts at
gaining information failed, these
students went to Waters Hall to
ask the dean what he knew about
the accident. His very fot
words in reply to the situaliot
was ‘‘One thing I do know is that
a freshman was driving a car
and as I understand she’s had it
on and off campus all
semester.” Well congratulations
dean, you’ve caught yourself
another one of those rule
breakers.
The Dean seemed to be more
concerned about this girl
breaking a rule than he m
about the possibility of the girl
being seriously injured. It's
true; the argument that if the
girl had been abiding by the nile
the accident wouldn’t have
happened can be used as an
alibi. But it seems that the
oarents of this freshman must
have known about her using and
having the car. To be sure she
didn’t steal it from her parents.
So what will the Administration
do, put her parents on probation
or will they really slam them
and confine them in their room
from dusk to dawn? It would
have been a pleasure to see the
expression on this girl’s parents
faces if they could have heard
the dean. Wonder if he would
have said the same thing’
It seems the time is long
overdue when the Ad
ministration should get their
heads out of the rule book and
realize the world and this
campus doesn’t revolve around
rules and deans. It would also be
appropriate for a reply to come
from the dean in Water’s .Mens
Dormitory. His Mousekateers
would appreciate it,
with Much Concern,
