ATLANTIC CHRISTIAN COLLEGE, MARCH 13,1975
NUMBER NINETEEN
Candidates
Ellen Bowen
Many changes have come
about at Atlantic Christian
College in the three years I have
been enrolled here, but our work
is far from finished. We need to
look ahead to what can be ac
complished, rather than dwell on
past achievements, for living in
thememory of past success may
close the future against any
furtter victories. We cannot
afford to be caught looking back
when there is so much yet to be
done.
First and foremost among our
needs is the need for students to
pull together as a Study Body,
not merely an institution led by
one or a few individuals alone. A
Student Body can exist at its best
only when everyone becomes
involved, working as a unit
towards a common goal.
Strength comes in numbers, and
only when we participate ac
tively as a Student Body can we
hope to achieve anything.
1 cannot make staunch
promises, because I am only one
person and goals need to be
achieved by many. I do,
however, have hopes for Atlantic
Christian College that I feel
could grow into realities if only 1
could receive your support,
interest and participation now,
during the elctions and if elec
ted. I hope to deal with such
issues as food, unlimited cuts,
curriculum changes, parking
problems, social events, faculty
and administration problems,
and student affairs in general. I
want students to be assured that
their suggestions or problems
will be heard and dealt with
through the proper channels. 1
alone cannot guarantee that
success will be achieved every
time, but I can guarantee that I
will do all that I possibly can to
meet the student’s wishes.
Surely there is enough that
needs
every
to be done to warrant
student’s participation,
and only when this participation
takes place will changes occur.
We all need to become con
cerned, and the first step to this
is voting on election day. If
elected, I hope to show mv
concern by offering my lime,
ability and ideas. 1 am asking
you now to give me the op
portunity to work for you. If
given the chance, 1 would
display the most responsible
leadership possible, but Atlantic
Christian College cannot exist on
any one individual alone. We
need the participation of each
and every student working
together, and only then will we
move ahead. We all need to
become CONCERNED’.

S.G.A. PRESIDENT.

attempt at directing an entire
play production. Any student

excellent opportunity for student

the acting ability of 1 man and 1

science at Atlantic Christian
Allege, has received an in-
'’itation to visit at the Depart
ment of Peace and Conflict at
the University of Oslo, and the

“The Tridget of Greva” is a

Mary Kay McKown the play
needs 3 persons to play the part

Robin Clos, an art student at

Student Governmeiit on the
Atlantic Christian College
Campus for the last few years
has been rapidly declining in the
confidence which students and
faculty have in its ability to
accomplish its goal of providing
responsible leadership for the
campus and representation for
the student body as a whole. Also
over these past few years we
have seen the campus com
munity become more and more
divided. Factions, special in
terests and cliques have con
tinued to dominate the ability of
us to work together as a small
college community. These two
problems are not ours alone but
exist within many communities
and other phases of life. Over
coming differences and
regaining confidences once lost/’:
sus on the College Disciplinarv
Committee, the fact that he has
a lot to say about how the 48 to 55
thousand dollars in student
activity fees are used, the fact
that he appoints many people to
various vital committies such as
the College Curriculum
mittee and student life
mittee, the fact that he sits on
the Board of Trustees and the
fact that he presides over
student leadership can make a
difference in the quality of life
we enjoy while you and I arc at
Atlantic Christian.
Essential to any ad
ministration is that it have the
confidence of the people it is
working for, that it know them
and the problems that face
them. Furthermore it is
essential that these ad
ministrators be problem solvers
who can present and make their
solutions work. Below are a few
ideas that 1 have about the
problems S.G.A. faces and some
solutions to these problems.
Examine them and see if they do
not reflect thought of what is
ahead and what it will take to
have a responsible S.G.A.
