The Atlantic Christian College
Board of Trustees, meeting here
Feb. 25, took action to approve
tentatively a record operating
budget for the 1976-77 academic
year. It also authorized an in
crease in student tuition, ap
proved the awarding of an
honorary degree, and nominated
several members for election to
the board.
The trustees tentatively ap
proved a record operating
budget in the amount of
$4,566,538 for the 1976-77
academic year, an increase of
$170,236 over the budget for the
current academic year.

Honors Choir Fest
New York Art Sampled
Dark and early Wednesday
morning, the twenty-fifth of
February, thirty-five eager art
students and the four art faculty
members left Wilson a 16:00 a. m.
for the second annual Art
Department trip to New York.
The museum touring began on
Wednesday during the stop in
Washington, D. C., with visits to
the National Gallery of Art and
the Hirschorn Museum. The
chartered bus left Washington at
3:30 and arrived in New York at
8:00.
Each morning the students
met in the Hotel Taft’s lobby at
9:30 to form semi-organized
groups. (The museums dislike
groups touring without their
guides, so the commentators and
guides were the faculty mem
bers and the students who went
last year.) The groups visited
the Metropolitian, Guggenheim,
Modern, Frick, Cloisters, and
Brooklyn (by subway)
museums, and also some private
galleries. The museum touring
usually ended at 5:30.
The evenings were free, but
again semi-organized groups
went out to eat and on random
sight-seeing walks. The group
sampled the cuisine of an
American steak house, Mexican,
Japanese, and Italian
restaurants, and a Chinese
restaurant in Chinatown.
Various groups went to the
Empire State Building, the
Lincoln and Rockefeller centers,
a flea market, Times Square,
cathedrals and churches, and
Greenwich Village. Saturday
was left free for shopping and for
more museum viewing.
The tired but culturally-
enlightened group left New York
at 10:30a.m. Sunday and arrived
in Wilson at 9:30. Not only will
the works of art, the many
sights, and the education be long
remembered and valued, but
also the close fellowship and
enjoyment.
History Brings Riddle Session
The Atlantic Christian College
Department of History and Pi
Gamma Mu honorary social
science fraternity will sponsor a
lecture by Dr. John M, Riddle,
associate professor of history at
N. C. State University, Tuesday,
March 16, at 8 p.m., in Hines
Hall, rooms 207-208.
The lecture will be entitled,
“The Origins of Medieval Witch
craft.” According to Dr. Riddle,
the problem of the origins and
early development of witchcraft
is increasingly intriguing. He
explores the question — were
there witches or was there
merely a conspiracy of the ec-
ciesiastical-political “establish
ment” to regiment thought and
loyalty by focusing on deviates?
Other points to be examined
by Dr. Riddle are the role of
magicians, the use of drugs and
possibly an involvement of
religious and counter-religious
groups.
Dr. Riddle is author of a
number of articles on the history
of medicine in the medieval
period. He has traveled in
Europe collecting materials for
his studies, attended numerous
conferences nad has been
recipient of a number of grants
for research and travel.
Prior to his appointment at
NCSU, he served as assistant
professor at the University of
Wisconsin at Eau Claire. He was
awarded the Ph.D. degree by the
University of North Carolina at
Chapel Hill.
The public is invited. There is
no charge for admission.
Charter members of the
Atlantic Christian College
Honors Choir F'estival, were
guests of theACC Department of
Music at a recital performed by
"1 Musici di Capella della
Collina," on Sunday, March 7, at
8 p.m., in the choir r(X)m of
Hackney Music Building.
"1 Musici di Capella della
Collina," is a group of chamber
musicians from Chapel Hill as
its name implies — The
Musicians of Chapel Hill.
They are friends who have
common interests in performing
old and new music with
emphasis upon the baroque.
Most every member of the group
is a professional music teacher.
The goal of the group is to
perform unhackneyed music in a
historically authentic manner.
The group includes two
soprano singers, two violins,
viola, cello, recorder and
harpsichord. Lydia James, who
plays recorder and harpsichord,
is a former Wilson resident.
Gene Featherstone, a former
ACC faculty member, was guest
harpsichordist.
The concert was entitled
"American Chamber Music
1776-1976.” The group present
ed music from five
traditions of American music.
The first four are mainly 18th
century and the last tradition
represented is contemporary
with two pieces of special in
terest: “Concerto da Camera,”
written for the group by Roger
Hannay, composer-in-residence
at UNC; and “A Maze (with
Grace),” by Thomas Albert,
formerly of Wilson, son of J.
Ross .Mbert, chairman of the
ACC Department of Music.
The Honors Choir guests were
the v(x:al music teachers and
quartets or octets of their best
choir students who meet at ACC
for advanced music reading
sessions. The idea started with
11 high schools participating and
has grown to include students
from 23 schools.
