^ISTIAN COLLEGE, MARCH 8, 1973
NUMBER NINETEEN
Miss Mary Dennis and Tim
Corbett are bidding for the
ediolrship of the 1973-74
Collegiate. Miss Dennis is a
junior from Ocala, Fla.,
majoring in education. Corbett
is a sophmore, from Walston-
burg. North Carolina, majoring
in speech and hearing and is
presently serving as editor of the
Collegiate. Each candidate was
given the opportunity to express
himself to the students in an
article written by the can
didates. The following are the
articles for Collegiate Editor.
The answer was yes, for all of
these things ARE the paper and
the paper is part of me! I feel
that 1 have done the best I could
this year, considering the
amount of experience I had.
After this year, I can truly say I
have some good experience
behind me. With your supporting
me for re-election, together we
can make next year’s Collegiate
100 per cent better for
everybody. Do not abuse your
right to vote — Participate in
democracy and vote for ex
perience. Vote Tim Corbett.
MARY DENNIS
In an effort to build school
pride, the newspaper should be
an effective tool in voicing the
feelings of the student body. Too
many times, certain issues are
reported from one side.
1 believe in a well-balanced
paper with a variety of articles,
giving equal time for all —
Greeks, athletics, organizations,
etc. We need to re-evaluate the
purpose of our newspaper,
realizing that its improvement is
of benefit to everyone. I will
work to the best of my ability to
strengthen this outlet of com
munication.
TIM CORBETT
In making my decision to run
for collegiate editor again, many
things ran through my mind.
Could I withstand all the static
and criticisms from GDI’s,
Greeks and faculty about the
quality of the Collegiate? Could I
face another year of burning the
midnight oil in putting the paper
to bed; the running back and
forth to the Daily Times to
deliver and pick up the paper?
Could I face the almost im
possible job of getting a qualified
staff together and keeping it?

ballot for President. Each

article concerning his views on
the office and the campus ac
tivities at Atlantic Christian.

Hi, I am Danny Smith a
candidate for the office of
President of the Student
Government Association of
Atlantic Christian College.
Presently I am a member of the
SGA Executive Board serving in
the capacity of Junior Class
Senator.
This past fall semester 1
personally took it upon myself to
try and improve what little
security AC had. My proposal
was sent by the SGA to the Board
of Trustees. The Trustees saw
need to take action and in the
near future high powered
floodlights will be installed in the
darker areas of the campus.
However, I feel more progress
can be made in the field of
security and I will campaign
with this as one of my issues.
At the present time I am
working with the college in
trying to develop a parking
system to improve existing
facilities.
In the past year I have worked
with several AC females for
extensions of hours in final hopes
of obtaining self-determininmg
hours.
Also I am working on havmg
fraternities governed by the
same rules that govern apart
ments. Another issue I plan to
campaign on is allowing
sororities to purchase a house if
they so desire.
The most important point I
have saved to last. Majoring in
Political Science has taught me
to place faith in the political
process as long as the "Buck” is
not passed, I fully agree with the
late President Turman, ‘ The
Buck stops here”.
However, stability and its
existence depends on apathy
which maintains the Status Qua
Last spring the students of AC
mobilized to express their
concern. In doing so many of the
changes desired came into
existence. The first step m
combating apathy is a n^t we
all have - the right to vote. The
next steps take a ‘‘“Je "nore
time, but anything worth having
is worth working for.
I would appreciate your vote
at the polls next week and if
elected I will do everything m
mv power to express your
concern. Thanks for your time.

Yes, I am concerned .. I am
concerned about what happens
in every facet of campus ac
tivity. Whether it be campus
improvement, student life,
administrative reform, faculty
evaluation, etc. These things are
all important to me because I
hope to become a graduate of
ACC and this school will be a
direct reflection upon me and
my fellow students. We must
work toward a better ACC and
develop a sense of pride in this
school. This pride can only be
developed through student in
volvement and the willingness to
learn, yet not be dictated. We
will have worked four years for
our diploma and it should mean
more than just a job placement,
it should be a part of our lives.
The needs of the students
cannot go unrecognized,
everyone is aware of that, so
why continue to argue about
what we want. The problem that
exists is how we are going to
satisfy our needs. Lets put our
needs alongside the needs of the
college and come up with the
best possible answers. Why
continue to pull ourselves fur
ther and further apart by using
the same old slogans of “we
want visitation ”, "we want
drinking on campus”, or ”give
us better parking ” If these are
what the students want then the
strongest diplomacy available is
the study body joined together in
thought and action.
I am proud of ACC but it gets
harder everyday to understand
why so many intelligent men and
women sit back and accept what
is thrown at them. Take a part in
your life — don’t let others make
your decisions. Let the up
coming election be a starting
point toward getting involved
and making your own decisimis.
With your support we can build a
better ACC and then ACC can
help build a better you. After all
that is what you are spending
your money and time here for, to
build a better you,

I feel that an important aspect
in any community is that of
change. Not change for the pure
sake of change, but change for
the betterment of all involved.
To many people change for no
other reason than being dif
ferent, or going against
established practices is the only
thing that matters. I feel that
this is wrong I feel that a l>asis
for change starts with a need, a
need that is important and needs
to be taken care of. Before we
can bring about change, we need
to examine the possibilities and
see what definitely needs to be
done, and how this change can
be brought about most ef
fectively and for the benefit of
the most of those concerned.
This may be a slower prcK’e.ss
than some, but I feel lhat it is an
important prcR’ess, and the only
one that can be used to bring
about the most effective change.
I am all for change. Not
change for the sake of change,
but change for the betterment of
all those involved I feel that
there are those who see definite
wrongs in policies of this school,
and who have a deep down
concern about seeing these
wrongs made right. It is these
feelings that I wish to get in
volved in and see if we can l)ring
about change for the better.
By my being on the SGA board
this year, I feel that I have been
involved in a body that has
brought about this kind of
change, and I wish to continue to
serve on this body and to con
tinue to strive for newer and
better policies. It is for this
reason that I solicit your votes.
To bring about new ideas and
changes lakes teamwork It
takes a group that is united in a
common cause, and a group that
has effective leadership. The
group is YOUK SGA board, and
the common cause is CHAN(JE
FOR THE BETTERMENT OF
ALL THOSE INVOLVED, I feel
that I can offer the effective
leadership. If I didn t I wouldn't
be running.
Your vote next week will be a
vote for one who is concerned
about the present state of affairs
and for one who is willing to take
on the responsibility necessary
to see that these concerns are
satisfied. Your vote next week
will be greatly appreciated.
