Grady Nutt
at ACC
Versatility could best describe
nationally-known humorist
Grady Nut.t.
Grady sings, tells humorous
stories, juggles, plays half-
dozen musical instruments, and
performs before groups across
the country — ranging from
college concerts to banquets and
conventions.
Perhaps he is best known for
his unique brand of down-home
homor, which he skillfully ex
tracts from everyday life around
us.
An ordained Baptist minister,
most of the time Grady’s
“pulpit” is a concert stage or a
plate of ham and green beans.
He averages more than 150
speaking appearances annually.
He has also been a frequent
guest on the nationally syn
dicated Mike Douglas Show.
A native of Texas who was
transplanted to Kentucky,
Grady received his bachelor of
arts degree from Baylor
University, Waco, Texas, and a
master of divinity degree from
the Southern Baptist Theological
Seminary, Louisville, Kentucky.
He and his wife, Eleanor, and
their two sons. Perry and Toby,
live in Louisville, Kentucky.
Everyone is invited to attend
next Tuesday, Feb. 25 in the
chapel at 11:00. Don’t miss the
Nutt or you will feel like a nut.

Pennies Remain Scarce
Gold bugs may have vanished,
but pinchers of the lowly-penny
are alive and thriving, govern
ment officials report.
New York banks are still on
allocation and the U. S. Mint is
preparing a nation-wide ad
vertising campaign to retrieve
the little coins.
Of the 70 billion pennies
produced sii\ce 1959, the mint
estimates 30 billion are lost or
still lying in pickle jars, piggy
banks and shoe boxes — out of
circulation.
The hoarding continues
despite a 60 per cent drop in the
value of pennies’ copper content,
a change which mint director
Mary Brooks hopes has left
speculators “with egg all over
their faces”.
Last year’s sharp rise m
copper prices to nearly $1.50 a
pound led to home stockpiling
and talk of an aluminum penny.
With 147 pennies to a pound,
some Americans wondered
whether they might better sell
their coppers than use them for
cash.
But copper sells now at about
50 cents a pound. And Mrs.
Brooks says the aluminum
P«nny has been “absolutely
rejected”.
te a sales gimmick, and to
retrieve pennies, some New
York stores maintain penny
premiums. Sam Goody’s a
record shop, gives a $1.50 credit
for 100 pennies. “You better
'>elieve people are still coming
says a Goody’s manager,
Bernard Bornstein,
Mrs. Brooks says penny
^''ing is a “bad habit, bad
TOUsekeeping,” and premiums
°r pennies are ridiculous.” She
a mint campaign in
West asking school children to
bring in the copper coins has
eased shortages there and the
mints are now planning an April
television and radio campaign to
further the drive.
AAUP
“The Radicalism of Henry
David Thoreau”
Thoreau is popularly thought
to have advocated extreme and
even dangerous ideas in religion,
philosophy, economics, and
politics. Hence his recent status
as a cult hero for radical youth.
However, a close reading of
Thoreau’s works revels that he
was ultimately seeking not the
extremes but the central
meaning of man’s existence
between heaven and earth.
RICHARD J. SCHNEIDER
will speak on Thoreau March 4,
1975 at 11:00 a.m. in the Choral
Room of the Music Building.
The National Teacher
Examinations (NTE) will be
administered on April 5, at
Atlantic Christian College
(Hardy Alumni Hall) which has
been designated as a test center.
According to Zeb M.
Whitehurst, III, dean of
students, these examinations
are offered to college seniors
preparing to teach, to teachers
applying for certification or
licensure, and to those seeking
positions in school systems
which encourage or require the
NTE. The designation of
Atlantic Christian College as a
test center for these
examinations will give
prospective teachers in this area
an opportunity to compare their
performance on the
examinations with candidates
throughout the country who take
the tests, Whitehurst said.
Last year approximately
100,000 candidates registered to
take the examinations which are
designed to assess cognitive
knowledge and understanding in
professional education, general
education and 28 subject-field
specializations. The exami
nations, which are prepared and
administered by Educational
Testing Service of Princeton,
New Jersey, are designed to
assess only those aspects of
teacher education that are valid
ly and reliably measured by well
constructed paper-and-pencil
tests.

Atlantic Christian College has
a relatively unique dimension in
its music program that many
other small colleges in North
Carolina do not ~ an electronic
sound laboratory. The lab began
as a student's hobby and now
since Mr. Lamb has come to
A C., the lab under his direction
has gained more equipment and
efforts are being made to em
ploy the lab more broadly in an
academic setting.
Presently the lab has one four-
channel trac (recoder) machine,
a Quarter Track Stereo Sony
Recorder, an Electrocomp
Studio Synthesizer, a six channel
Sony Stereo Mixer, an internal
Patch System and a homemade
playback system.
The purpose of the lab is to
explore new sounds and new
horizons in music. Through the
use of the synthesizer more
sounds and sound capabilities
can be produced than in any
other instrument including the
human voice. Synthesizers have
become very popular within the
last years. The public has more
contact with the synthesizer
through rock groups and T.V.
which now, more than ever.
depend on electronics for sound
effects. Electronic music via
synthesizer has been used much
by T.\’ to create moods in
settings which call for a
futuristic or an occult subject
matter. Emerson, l^ike, and
Palmer, Billy Preston, and
Edgar Winters are known for
their successful use of the
synthesizer.
Basically, the lab uses tape
manipulation to create the new
souncls. Several new pieces of
music have tx’en composed in
the lab at A C. David Arnold has
composed a trombone and tape
piece named I’rojeolion and a
synthesizer piece entitled. Rabid
Dogs and Ix’pt'rous Men, Tom
Denton has composed a total
tape piece entitled, Slnictures
which is of a musical concert
typt'.
The Music Department hopes
to open the use of the lab to all
students through development of
syllabus for an Electronics
Music Composition Course in the
future. The course will l>e open
to all students by permission of
the instructor and will be a
theory-composition course in
nature.

Instead, they were calm

the seriousness of playing such
