Ralph’s Eats
Throughout my two and one half years of attending
ACC, I have often heard complaints of the food in the
cafeteria. True, it is not the best on earth and it’s a long
way from Mom’s home cooking, but you should be in
hope’s of receiving all of the food that you wish to eat
when you do go to the Crab. There have been complaints
of the poor quality of food, lack of second helpings, and a
variety of others, but the one complaint that stands out
most in my mind is that the student pays more and rnore
for food services on this campus, yet he or she receives
the same and often less for the fees that are paid. This
semester, those of you who have meal tickets, are
paying only for ARA services. There will be an increase
in the cost of your food in the upcoming fall semester,
and I would be sure, even at this time, to say the quality
of the food will not increase at all. This sure isn’t my
idea of a bargain.
Instead of all the complaining that is done usually in
vain, I would like to offer some constructive criticism
which might benefit the students and the ARA.
Let me begin by reminding you that increases in the
cost of meal tickets is due to inflation (This is what
everyone in the nation hears, so why kot us?). Every
student who has lived on this campus has at one time or
another removed from the cafeteria plates, silverware,
glasses, bowls, saucers, and many other utensils. Mr.
Crumpler has made a valid attempt to prevent this, yet
it still goes on and blame is on the students and not Mr.
Crumpler. Secondly, there are many, and man do I
mean many, students who use the services of the
cafeteria yet have not paid for them. Again, Mr.
Crumpler has made a true effort in controlling this by
confronting students in the cafeteria and following up
the incidents in the Disciplinary Board. I hate to see
anyone get busted for eating a chicken pot pie but rules
are rules and if you do not want to conform to the
standards of the society then its your fault and you
deserve to be punished.
However, there is one area that seems to have been
overlooked. I myself, and a small number of other
students have observed on several occasions the
removal of food from the cafeteria by employees. Food
has been seen leaving the backdoor of the cafeteria and
entering trunks of awaiting vehicles and you can sure as
hell bet that ham can’t wear tennis shoes. I have no idea
if Mr. Crumpler knows of these occurances or not. I am
merely presenting to the student body incidents which
have been related to and observed by yours truly.
I am not writing this article to hassle Mr. Crumpler
because he serves food that is not exactly gourmet, but
because I feel this is a possible drain on the students who
pay for the services of the ARA. I feel that if this
situation were eliminated, the rise in the cost of meal
tickets would not have to go up next year.
Finally, I would like to make my intentions known.
This article was written for the students who use ARA
services and no one else. I, myself, do not own a meal
ticket for I can cook cheaper and better than the ARA.
The few meals I have eaten there, I have paid for. In
short, I could give a happy damn if the food gets worse in
the Crab, because I don’t have to eat it. However, I do
give a damn about the students on this campus and I
hate to see them taken advantage of, and if you don’t
believe what I say then why did you read this article in
the first place?

I \iant to say Goodbye to
Atlantic Christian College, not
the institution, but the people. If
you are reading this letter then I
am saying goodbye to you. I
have been teaching Psychology
here for four years. This year I
am "graduating”.
As I reminisce, many
memories came to mmd ...
locking my keys m my office ...
staying up until 3:00 gradmg
papers, a week late ... people
sharing their real problems with
me ... floats and parades ...
discipline committee meetings
an “out of towner” trying to
sell me a lid while I was
chaperoning a concert ... seeing
the good and bad politics of a
college campus ... making lots
and lots of friends, and a few
enemies ...
In general, what I most
cherish is having been able to
share a part of the lives of the
students and faculty I have
known in four years. Many of
them are beautiful people. They
put out good vibrations. They
have lifted me up and I am
better for experiencing them.
There have been some
(students and faculty) that are
evolving but still very negative.
Professors complain about
student apathy. Students
complain that professors don’t
care, are boring, or in
competent. There are apathetic,
heartless, boring, incompetent
people here and everywhere
else. They can be used as an
excuse for your not doing your
job, whether teaching or lear
ning.
I have little respect or need for
those who can only tell me
Be A Part
By PHIL FAISON
College life evolves around
class everyday (no cuts), dates
every once in a while, study
during the week and attending
church on Sunday (non-
sacreligiously); for others there
is time for intramurals and a
night on the town twice a week
along with classes and studying.
For others there’s time to do all
or a part of these and find extra
time to complain about nothing
to do around Wilson at night. To
these, this article is dedicated to.
How many times have you
heard, “I wish they’d get
here for a concert.”
The blanks are for the many
bands you and I have heard.
Let’s pick another example.
Everyone from time to time
feels the campus newspaper
should include this or leave out
this.
What’s going on in the SGA?
Have you had a talk with the
newly elected officers, you so
“painfully” elected.
I’ve heard these complaints
everyday for the almost two
years I’ve been here. Strongly
enough campus life evolves
around anyone, not just a chosen
few.
Your comments and bits of
advice, criticisms, etc., all of
these are important to
representatives.
Have you asked, your newly
elected Collegiate Editor,
Campus Christian President and
your new SGA President, Ellen
Bowen, if she needs any help? It
takes everyone and everyone’s
comments for the “Government
at ACC to function.
Involvement in Campus hfe
takes time. It keeps you from
complaining about your dull
spare time in Wilson.
The Year 1975-1976 should be
even better than this year
changes. It takes everyone
accordance to make
changes. Pull with your Class
and SGA officers. I believe
them.
your
what’s wrong with our world.
But those of you who appreciate
what is here,who use your
energy doing what can be done,
rather than pointing out what is
not, I am going to miss you. A
poster on my door says “we can
complain that rosebushes have
thorns or rejoice that thorn
bushes have roses.” It’s up to
you whether your world is
something to complain about or
rejoice over I wish you all a life
of roses.

Looking Back
Four good years have passed
away
Years I won’t forget,
So many friends I’ll leave behind
On that Denver town bound jet.
I think how good it would be
To go another four,
But destiny calls me elsewhere
Like a windfilled mountain roar.
I won’t forget that Richmond
couple
A finer pair no where you’ll find.
The friendship has meant so
much to me
They’re both so thoughtful and
so kind.
And of course there’s many
others
That’s how it is going to be.
I’ll try to leave them happily
But through tear — filled eyes
I’ll see.
Thegreatest memory I’ll have of
school
Is the experience that I’ve had.
I’ve learned to cope through
problem times
I’ve had many good times and
many bad.
But the good times overshadow
the bad ones
And I can honestly say,
That if asked how I would do it
next time
I would tell them, just the same
way.

Hartsock was
3S guest SDealfPi*
following the dinner. She spoke
on the importance of forei®
languages as an invaluable kev
to doorways which would enable
one to not only make himself
better understood, but to enter a
greater understanding of the
world of which he is a part Dr
Hartsock also directed attention
to the problems here at Atlantic
Christian College where even
though it is a liberal arts college
languges are rapidly beins
phased out. This is not the ad
ministration’s fault but the fault
of those departments who feel
that it is more important to
increase the number of majors
in their department by dropping
the language requirement
rather than giving students the
background necessary for any
future career. Most major works
are done in a foreign language
and although translations are
good, something is always lost.
Everything possible should be
done to preserve foreign
languages on our campus.
Dr. Hugh Johnston, Professor
of Spanish and co-advisor of
Sigma Pi Alpha, followed Dr.
Hartsock’s address with the
induction of outstanding
students enrolled in foreign
languages. The following were
inducted: Leigh McClellan,

Streamlined Toothbrush
Ages and ages ago, well, maybe not ages but years at
any rate, if you wanted a toothbrush, or anything else,
you either made one or went to the store and bought one.
Life was simple — A caused B, or, in other words, your
old toothbrush lost its bristles and you got another one.
Of course, then, the store was not nearly so
accessible. What with cars, parking lots, drive-up
windows, curb service, and superhighways that carry
you swiftly across the continent, you’re in business.
When you finally got to the store back in grandma’s
days, it was probably all sort of utilitarian. You could
find what you needed and what you didn’t need you
probably would never have. Like everything else, there
was probably only one style of toothbrush — simple,
three rows of bristles stuck in a handy wooden stick. It
cleaned your teeth.
Nowadays, you go to the drugstore to buy a
toothbrush and immediately you’re struck by the wde
variety of styles to choose from. There’s the rainbow
translucent, or the tie-dyed psychedelic, or even one
with notches to assure you of your grip. There’s brushes
with natural bristles, nylon bristles, natural and nylon
mixed together, and finally, water-piks with no
The newest and neatest toothbrush, the one that a
the commotion is over, the one that the TV has rav
about, the one that is a landmark in oral hygiene, is
steamlined toothbrush!!!! It was used by
space, Dustin Hoffman, and, yes, even
Fuller. It has a somewhat sophisticated look,
simple, yet urbane, and you can feel the smoothness o
across your teeth. It’s got a squarish and ^^^a^seri v
wooden handle with three rows of bristles stuck m
end. It cleans your teeth.
