Cries for changes in school
regulations are often heard but
frequently people do not know
what basic channels proposed
rule changes must go through
before being administered.
Those Thirties
On Saturday. October 26, the
Circle “K" Club will sponsor a
dance marathon in the old gym.
The dance will begin at 7 p.m.
and last through the night. The
theme of the marathon is the
“Fabulous Thirities.”
Prizes will be given to the
organization with the best
participation and the single
dancer who turns in the most
money. A prize will also be given
to the couple that dances the
longest.
The funds raised by this
marathon will be donated to a
camp for autistic children. This
is an opportunity for every in
dividual student or organization
to become both a part of the
campus and the community.
For those who wish to dance,
contact Nina Jones or Cathy
Turner (Hilley 306 or 291-0338)
or obtain the necessary forms. If
you are not interested you can
still participate as a spectator
for a small door fee of 50 cents.
There will be a meeting of all
interested dancers within the
next few weeks. Watch for more
information in the Green Slate.

Dr. Barnes Amnesty Now
Changes are rapidly being
made in relation to the nursing
department of Atlantic Christian
College as the department
prepares for relocation in the
new nursing building and for
NLN accreditation. These
changes have given rise to a
general feeling expressed by Dr.
Barnes, the head of the nursing
department, as excitement and
elation. The nursing department
building also, referred to as the
little “White House,” represents
a bit of nostalgia for Dr. Barnes
at the thought of its future
replacement by the nursing
building. Nevertheless, Dr.
Barnes’ bit of nostalgia is
overshadowed by pleasure in the
prospect of gaining the new
single-story nursing building.
Improvisions by both students
and faculty in the program have
been made on campus up to this
time in providing space for the
proper education of nursing
students. The new building will
render unnecessary these im
provised classrooms scattered
in several locations on campus.
Dr. Barnes feels that the new
facilities coupled with the
conceptual based curriculum of
the department will not only
continue to have the benefit of
the nursing student as its aim,
but will be able to more
adequately meet this challenge
of education.
ANN DIXON
By HARROP FREEMAN
In the United States there is
confusion between general
“pardons” (President) and
“amnesties” (Congress). Im
mediately after the Revolution,
Congress restored all rights to
the Loyalists who did not flee to
Canada. On July 4, 1794,
President Washington granted
“pardons” to all who par
ticipated in the “Whiskey
Rebellion” and in 1800,
President Adams gave a general
pardon to the “house tax in
surrectionists” of 1798.
The Civil War period was
marked by extensive amnesties,
even for treason, and by conflict
between Congressional and
Presidential power. Presidents
Lincoln and Johnson were
quicker in pardoning the in
surgents than was Congress. In
1862 Congress had recognized
the President’s power to pardon
and had delegated the power to
amnesty those participating in
the rebellion. Lincoln acted
twice, Johnson four times. The
Presidents labeled their action
as “general pardons and am
nesty.” In 1876 Congress passed
a complete and all-inclusive
amnesty.
After the Civil War both the
practice and the confusion of
pardon-amnesty continued.
President Wilson pardoned a list
of political opponents to World
Herein lies the route of any
proposed rule change.
Usuaully the initiative is taken
by a student or students or by
their student representatives on
the Student Government
Executive Board. A student or
students could begin with the
S.G.A. Executive Board or
Student Life (Committee. The
S.G.A. Executive Board has the
President and Senator of each
class, the President of Men's
Interdorm Council, President of
Women’s Interdorm Council,
President of the Interfraternity
Council, President of
Panhellenic (Council, President
and Senator of Day Students,
Student Coordinator. Faculty
Representative and Dean of
Students. The Student Life
(Itommittee has the Dean of Men.
Dean of Women, Dean of
Students. Faculty Represen
tative to the S.G.A., Chairman of
College Discipline Committee,
three other faculty members
and four students. Mary Atkins,
Debbi Hurd, Ray Wilkins and a
freshman to be appointed are the
four students.
From the Student Life Com
mittee. if the matter should
receive a positive report, the
proposed change would go to the
Administrative Council of the
College. Minor changes in the
rules usually can be decided
here while major changes would
be passed on to the Board of
Trustees for action. The Ad
ministrative Council decides
what is major or minor and
when in doubt the Chairman of
the Board of Trustees is usually
consulted as to whether it should
be considered major or minor. If
the Administrative Council
decides negatively against the
change then it is killed there
rather than being passed on to
the Board of Trustees. Ad
ministrative Council membtrs
are Dean Swindell, Mr. Milton
Adams. Mr. Cleveland, Mr.
Daniell, Dean Whitehurst, and
Dr. Wenger.

To keep its head above the smog
Relax the standards, there is a

Wilt the leaves, grey the sky,

So the rats will eat the young,
So the rats will become too

So disease will spread even

And caribu migration is minor
Master nature, progress can
