Hackney Hall Scene Of Bike Theft;
Convocation
Held
By JACKIE PARKER
This past Tuesday at 11:00 in
Howard Chapel, the 1973 Fall
Convocation took place.
Chaplain Dan Hensley presided.
The service began with an
impressive processional of the
ACC faculty decked out in caps
and gowns. A hymn was sung
and Chaplain Hensely led the
congregation in an Affirmation
of Faith. Mr. J. Ross Albert sang
“The Eight Psalm” by Wright.
The ACC choir did an excellent
iob. They were led by Mr.
Albert.
Dr. Arthur Wenger addressed
the college. He expressed his
hope that every student’s ob
jectives would grow and evolve
into something greater than the
original desires. He said that
education can not solve
problems. Dr. Wenger then
stated that the survival of a
college depends on several
things: a balanced budget,
defined goals, understanding the
students, and reformed
curriculum. He said he felt the
first three had been given some
degree of attention and now
curriculum is necessary so
fewer walls will exist between
academic and real life ex
periences.
Dr. Wenger concluded by
expressing his belief that he had
never had an experience, in
dealing with higher education,
where there was a more real and
profound feeling that the
students, faculty, and staff
respond to the responsibility of
taking chances to improve
quality of life.
The services ended with a
benediction by Chaplain Hensley
and the recessional.

Barnes New Director
Having a student-centered
nursing program is the objective
of Dr. Ruby G. Barnes, Atlantic
Christian’s new professor and
chairman of the Department of
Nursing.
A native of Parkton, N.C., she
holds the B.S.N. degree from the
School of Nursing, Duke
University of North Carolina at
Chapill; and the Ed. D. degree
by the North Carolina State
University.
Prior to coming to Atlantic
Christian, Dr. Barnes served as
professor and director of con
tinuing education at the School
of Nursing, East Carolina
University, a position held since
1970. Earlier she served as
director of nursing at the
University of North Carolina at
Chapel Hill; Rex Hospital School
of Nursing in Raleigh;
educational consultant. North
Carolina Board of Nursing; and
educational director,
Southeastern General Hospital
in Lumberton.
Dr. Barnes serves as associate
editor of “Nursing Digest”, and
holds membership in various
professional and civic
organizations.
Dr. Barnes names two long
range goals vital for the ACC
Nursing Program: getting the
school accredited by the
National League for Nursing and
the completion of a new building
for the Department of Nursing
classrooms. National ac
creditation will be granted at the
time of the first graduating
class, in May of 1974. Plans have
been made for a new building,
and construction will begin in
the near future.
Excited about the addition of
four faculty members to the
staff. Dr. Barnes hopes the
department will continue to
grow in enrollment and in ser
vices. She is particularly in
terested in building a nursing
program of quality patient care.
Increasing the faculty will allow
more students to enter the field
of nursing. She feels they will
discover that the department is
unique, by dealing with people in
a different scope of ways.
Dr. Barnes has found Atlantic
Christian to be a very warm and
cooperative environment to
work in; qieaning the ad
ministration is interested in its
faculty and students, and hopes
this will help strengthen the total
administrative framework of the
nursing program.
Areviniiie of ihe two hundred
resident studtj/ts on campus
with a bicycle’’ If so. then the
problem of stolen bikes concerns
you.
Last Wednesday evening, two
bicycles were taken from the
bike racks below the stair well at
Hackney Hall. Some students
became suspicious when they
saw some people meddling
around the rack. They notified
Dean Nadleman at 10:30 p.m.
\\Tien the students investigated,
they found two bike chains were
filed. The thiefs are not believed
to be ACC students.
Dean Naldeman suggested
several things that can be done
by students to protect their
bicycles. First; register your
bike with the Wilson Police
Department, downtown. The
expense for this proection is
around twenty-five cents.
Second; always lock your bike.
Third; if you see someone
around a bike rack, not
unlocking a bike, ask them if you
can help them. Chances are, if
they are planning to take a bike,
they will leave when you ask.
The college too, is making an
effort to protect bicycles by
putting the racks in lighted
areas. The one at Hackney has
been moved under a direct light.
The Dean asks that all bikes
not be put in rooms, halls and
stair ways. This is against fire
regulations because if one
student fell over a bike, it could
block other students from
escaping the building.
