NUMBER FOUR
ACC Students on Retreat
this year.
D. J. Thurston Jr., president of
the company, upon completing
final details of the gift said, “It
has been my good fortune and
that of many of my associates, to
receive a very good education
and training at a cost far less
than the actual expense to
others. If this little gift will in
some way benefit and help
others who follow us to have the
advantage of a good Christian
education, it will certainly be
worthwhile, and we are more
than fully repaid.”
Since the property is not
suitable for campus purposes, it
will be placed on the market for
sale at an early date, according
to J.E. Paschall, chairman of
the college’s finance committee.

and IRENE HA 1.1.
Want to know how an AC
student can get to know other
students, have a weekend off
campus, enjoy home-cooked
food, experience God through
nature and fellowship with
others, and have an overall good
time? This past weekend, 30 AC
students and their advisors did
all of this on a BSU retreat at
Camp Leach near Bath, N.C.
This energetic group was headed
up by Debbie Tippett, President
of BSU at AC, and their advisors,
Mr. Larry Bennett, Dr. Roger
Bullard, and their state advisor,
Mr. Kay Huggins.
After stuffing all these people
and their luggage into seven
small cars, they arrived at
Camp Leach around 8:30 p.m.
Friday. Once everyone had
settled in, they assembled in the
conference room for a time of
singing, followed by the viewing
and discussion of the film, “The
Hangman." This symbolic film
depicted modern man's
prejudices against others and
his unwillingness to stand up for
anyone except himself. The
discussion was followed by a
brief devotional lead by one of
the students.
Saturday morning arrived
bright and early. The day began
with an assembly of the group
beside the river at 7:45 for a
brief devotional before break
fast. Shortly after breakfast. Dr.
Bullard led the group in a talk
and discussion on “The Will of
God.” The discussion was
centered on God’s intentional
will and His will upon man in any
given circumstance. The
remainder of the morning was
filled with recreation and free
time.
In the afternoon, Mr. Kay
Huggins talked with the group on
statewide activities for college
BSU’s with the emphasis being
placed on the uf>coming fall and
spring conventions. Summer
opportunities for college
students were also discussed.
Perhaps the highlight of the
weekend was the “trust walk",
the purpose of which was to
teach the students to put their
entire trust in the Lord. Each
student had to test his trust in
another person while being led
around the camp grounds with
his eyes closed. No words were
to be spoken between the two,
yet the guide was to show the
blinded one the world around
them. Each person was given a
chance to lead and to be led.
The remainder of the af
ternoon was spent in free time
and recreation, including
Oehler Presents Recital
Susan Oehler, flautist, will be
presented in a faculty recital by
the Atlantic Christian College
Department of Music, on Oct. 8,
at 8 p.m., in the choral room of
the Willis and Roma Hackney
Music Building on the college
campus.
A full-time member of the
music faculty at the University
of North Carolina at Chapel Hill,
she serves as adjunct instructor
in music at Atlantic Christian.
She will be assisted by Barbara
Rowan, pianist, and Donald
Oehler, clarinetist, also of the
UNC music faculty.
Mrs. Oehler’s recital will
consist mainly of 20th century
American music. The program
will include Mario Davidosky’s
“Synchronisms No. 1” for flute
and electronic sounds; the
Walter Piston “Sonata” for flute
and piano; the Alan Hovaness
“Sonata” for solo flute; and the
Aaron Coplan “Duo” for flute
and piano.
The Piston “Sonata” dates
among his earlier works. The
“Duo” represents Copland’s
most recent compositions; it
was written in 1971 in memory of
William Kincaid, the former
first flautist with the
Philadelphia Orchestra.
The public is invited. There is
no admissions charge.
swimming in the Pamlico River,
touring historical Bath, or just
relaxing, Saturday night
brought with it a continuance of
the talk and discussion on "The
Will of God" by Mr. Bennett. At
this lime, how God's will is
revealed to man was discussed.
One of the purposes of this
retreat was to bring up new
ideas and suggestions for ac
tivities throughout the coming
year. Some of the activities
discussed were the pt)ssibility of
a spring retreat with other area
college BSU's, the possibility of
a large group attending the fall
convention in November,
suggestions of working with
some of the elderly in the Wilson
area, and the possibility of AC's
BSU conducting several worship
services in an area hospital.
Another brief devotional ended
the scheduled activities for the
night.
With the start of another day,
the group met at the beautiful
outside chapel by the river for a
period of quiet meditation. Later
in the morning, a worship ser
vice was conducted in the
conference room by Dr. Bullard.
This was also a time for
reflecting upon and sharing
blessings experienced over the
weekend. After packing and
cleaning, everyone departed by
1:00Sunday afternoon. Tired but
happy from the wonderful
weekend, everyone safely
returned to the campus by 3 p.m.

Dr. George Lucktenburg,
harpsichordist, will appear in a
lecture-demonstration on the
campus of Atlantic Christian
College, Monday, Oct. 8, in the
choral room of Hackney Music
Building, at 4 p.m.
Dr. Lucktenburg will give
demonstrations on both the
Mozart piano as well as the
harpsichord.
The harpsichord is an unusual
keyboard instrument, similar to
a piano in general structure but
essentially different in tone
quality. It was a favorite of the
17th and 18th centuries. Sup
planted by the rapidly evolving
piano during the 1800s, the harp
sichord is now back in style
and is drawing an ever-growing
following among both per
formers and music lovers. Its
extensive traditional literature
is being substantially expanded
by contemporary composers.
Dr. Lucktenburg brings his
own elegant replica of an 18th
century instrument with him in a
specially-fitted truck “the
Harpsicart.”
Dr. Lucktenberg’s second
instrument is an exact replica of
a 1784 Stein piano, called an 18th
century piano — or a Mozart
piano because of its association
with the works of the 18th cen
tury master. The mozart piano
produces a quite different sound
from the conventional in
strument. The sound is brighter,
more delicate, reminiscent of
strings and woodwinds.
Lucktenburg says the piano is
the intermediate step between
the harpsichord and the modern
piano. It has 61 keys, compared
with the modern piano’s 88. The
modern-day bottom and top
octaves are missing.
Of the instrument Luckten
burg says: “Everything is more
delicate, smaller and thinnner.
It is flexible and expressive.”
A native of Columbus, Ohio,
Dr. Kucktenburg holds degrees
from the University of Illinois
and F'lorida State University in
the U.S., and the Artist's
Diploma from the State
Academy of Music in Vienna,
Austria. He has received
Fulbright and Ford Foundation
grants or advanced research
study, and is the author of
several published articles as
well as editions of music
pedagogical and concert use.
Active in organizational work,
he was founding president of the
South Carolina chapter, and
later served as president of the
Southern Division, Music
Teachers National Association.
In addition to concertizing as a
solo harpsichordist and in duo
recitals with his wife, Jerrie, Dr.
Lucktenburg is chairman of the
Garaduate and Piano depart
ments in the School of Music,
Converse College, Spartanburg,
S.C. Each summer is spent
teaching piano and harpsichord
at the National Music Camp,
Inerlochen, Mich.
