Party time
New Library: Workable
Working plans for Atlantic
Christian College’s new library
building are expected to be
completed shortly. The two-
story structure will contain
approximately 27,000 square
feet of space and is to be located
on the south side of West Lee St.,
across from the Administration
Building.
The new building will serve
as the general library for the
college. It is being designed to
meet the foreseeable library
requirements of the college for
the next 20 years. The present
library was completed in 1951
when the enrollment was about
750 students. It was later
remodeled to provide more
workable space, but the
college’s enrollment more than
doubled making the need for a
larger structure mandatory.
A notable characteristic of the
new building will be its overall
flexibility. The design of the
building allows for future ex
pansion. There will be no load-
bearing interior partitions, and
most partitions will be
relocatable. Access to the
second floor will be by an in-

On Sunday night, January 25,
the Entertainment Committee
held a party at Silver Lake to
celebrate the hard work they did
during the Fleetwood Mac
concert. An appropriation of
three hundred dollars was made
by the SGA for the festive oc
casion. Also attending the party
were stage hands who worked
during concert week.
The party would have been
publicized in advance, but the
swift action by the SGA made
the announcement unattainable.
Among reasons for the
celebration were beer

the appearance of former SGA
president, Jimmy Adams (also

Theatre of the Deaf Holds Tarade'
The National Theatre of the
Deaf is embarking on its
seventeenth nationwide tour this
fall. This enthusiastically ac
claimed presentation will be
seen at Howard Chapel on
Friday, February 6 for one
performance.
Since the founding of this
extraordinary company nine
years ago, the world has ac
claimed its exciting new
theatrical form. Using the
superb ability of deaf people to
communicate visually, plus
their natural acting talent, the

project — a fully professional
permanent company. The NTD
is now the only Equity-scale full-
year dramatic touring company
in America.
The National Theatre of the
Deaf has to its credit sixteen
national tours, two Broadway
runs, eight tours of Europe, Asia
and Australia, three films and
numerous national and in
ternational television ap
pearances. In December 1973,
the NTD was seen with Sir
Michael Redgrave in a CBS
