ATLANTIC CHRISTIAN COLLEGE, SEPTEMBER 30, 1976
NUMBER FOUR
Jimmy Carter
for President
Fellow students. As president
of the Young Democrats of
Atlantic Christian College I wish
to urge each of you to give your
support to Jimmy Carter, not
only in the mock election at
A.C.C. next week but also in the
November election.
Jimmy is a former navy of
ficer, nuclear engineer, farmer,
state senator, and governor of
Georgia. Jimmy has been
labeled as being fuzzy on the
issues. This is not the case. He
has been more specific on the
issues than his opponent. He has
promised to reduce the taxes
paid by lower income groups and
increase those paid by the
wealthy and corporations. Ford
worked to protect tax loopholes
while he was in Congress and
has done nothing to remove
them since becoming President.
The Ford administration has
been a government by
stalemate. As a congressman for
25 years. Ford should have been
able to cooperate with Congress.
However, Ford has vetoed 60
bills and secured passage of only
26 per cent of his legislation.
Although Ford stated in
November, 1973 that he would
not pardon Richard Nixon if the
situation arose, he did so on
September 8, 1974 with the ex
cuse that Watergate was a tragic
period in American history and
it was time to put it behind us.
However, the same reasoning
does not apply to draft dodgers
according to Ford. Although the
Vietnam War was perhaps the
most tragic period in American
history, Mr. Ford is content to
let 90,000 Americans remain
overseas for the rest of their
lives. Jimmy Carter has
promised to pardon these young
men so that this tragic period
can at last be put behind us.
Jimmy Carter isn’t afraid to
take unpopular stands that he
thinks are right. This is in
dicated by his stand on abortion.
Governor Carter has refused to
support a constitutional
amendment to ban abortion. Mr.
Ford now supports such an
amendment although he did
nothing about it in the 25 years
he served in Congress or the two
years he has served as
President.
Mr. Ford is a fine man but
lacks the leadership ability to be
a strong President. In the tur
bulent times ahead we need a
strong leader to guide this
country as it seeks new direction
and goals. Jimmy Carter is such
a leader.
Instructor of

named instructor in music at
Atlantic Christian College,

by Dr. Arthur D. Wenger,
president of the college.
A native of Lumberton, he

East Carolina University and
the M.M. degree from Miami
University of Ohio. Powers

the Cincinnati Opera, sung with
the Middletown Symphony
Orchestra in Ohio, and debuted
with the Whitewater Opera Co.
during the past spring.

2nd of 9 Part Series
Stage and Script
Study Shows Both Sides Performance
Editor: The Self-Study stands
at 368 pages; for this reason it is
impossible to reprint it in its
entirety, section by section. The
Collegiate will provide a sum
mation of all nine sections, or
standards as they are called in
the study. The recommendations
and projections of each standard
in question will appear at the end
of each summation.
Standard U of the study deals
with the organization and ad
ministration of the college. The
college is governed by a thirty-
six member Board of Trustees.
Included on the board are one
faculty and one student mem
ber. The board meets once a
month. It is divided into four
major committees: the
Executive Committee, the
Education Committee, the
Development Committee, and
the Finance Committee. This
committee system was
evaluated by the study, and was
found to be effective.
Next, the study indicated the
duties and responsibilities of all
twenty-eight administrators,
from the Dean of the College,
down to the Executive
Housekeeper. The ad
ministrators were evaluated and
were found to be competent.
There was however one
weakness found in the workings
of the administration; it was
found that an equitable
distribution of the work was not
the case for the secretaries. It
was advised that this problem
should be remedied as soon as
possible.
college is further carried out by
twenty-four standing com
mittees. Included in these
committees are such as the
Athletic, Homecoming,
Admissions, Awards, and so on.
This committee system was also
seen as functioning effectively.
It was further noted that the
majority of students felt that
they had an adequate voice in
most matters concerning the
administration of the college.
This was especially true of the
standing committee system.
Following are Standard II’s
recommendations and projec
tions.
RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Name a Personnel Director
to redistribute secretarial
and clerical work on a more
equitable basis.
2. Study the traffic patterns in
the present Registrar's
Office and equipment in the
anticipated move from the
present building.
4. Explore the possibility of
granting voting status to
student and faculty
representatives on the Board
of Trustees.
5. Monitor more closely the
custodians in Howard
Chapel, Old Gym, Hardy
Alumni Hall. Caldwell
Dormitory, and Hamlin
Student Center.
6. Emphasize to present
students through programs
and exhibits, the importance
of alumni participation.
7. Consider use of additional
student help in Publicity
Office.
8. Consider the employment of
an attorney familiar with
trust and grant develop
ment.
9. Consider the employment of
a second professional in
Publicity Office.
10. Examine more closely the
Mt. Olive Experimental
Program.
11. Establish a Development
Council with representatives
of the College community —
administrators, faculty,
students, and alumni —
community, and church to
act as an advisory group to
Development Office.
12. List in Student Handbook the
proper office to contact
about specific needs.
13. Clarify the administrative
organization of the
Washington-Norfolk
Ministers’ Institute at
Roper, N.C.
14. Review ACC-Scope.
15. Study the job description of
the Director of Develop
ment.
PROJECTIONS
Based on these enrollment
projections, there are no plans
for major changes in ad
ministrative organization within
the next decade. While some
offices have minimal staff, the
College is firmly committed to
leanness in staff.
Howard Chapel will be the
setting next Thursday, Friday,
and Saturday nights, October 7-
9, for the presentation of The
I.ion in Winter. Directed by Paul
Crouch, this will be Stage and
Script’s first play of the new
season.
The action centers around the
question of who will succeed
Henry, king of England, upon his
death. Eleanor, queen of
England, has just been released
from jail for the Christmas
holidays, by Henry. Her release
causes conflict; Henry is caught
between his wife Eleanor and his
mistress Alais, princess of
F'rance. This leads to cleverly
sarcastic scenes between Henry
and Eleanor, and Eleanor and
Alais. Alais’ brother Philip, king
of France, arrives to force
Henry to marry his sister, which
further complicates matters.
The struggle for power between
John, Geoffrey, and Richard,
Henry’s three sons, adds more
wit and humor to the comedy.
The performances begin at
8:00 p.m. All ACC faculty and
students will be admitted free of
charge.

EASTSIDE INCIDENTS
Aside from ashcans and
halljohns
and pigeon coops
the hot July stoops
There were those mad Valenti
kids
who killed my cat
with an umbrella
There was Dirty Myra

in the cellar
And there was Vito and Tony
and Robby and Rocco
I see them now
eating poisoned mushrooms
and vomiting air
killing Mr. Bloom the
storekeeper
and getting the chair
I see them now
but they aren't there

Why should Americans elect
Jerry Ford President in 1976’’
Just Uxikat the record!
President Ford has put
America on the road to sound
fiscal respoasibility. He has
reduced inflation from 12 per
cent in 1974 to an annualized rate
of 7 per cent in 1975. The tide of
unemployment has been
stemmed since last spring and
t(xiay, there are one million
more Americans at work. His
actions were bold and
deliberate. He vetoed 55 bills
that would have burdened lax
ptiyers with billions of dollars in
excess of his budget. He saved
the tax piiyers some$68 billion in
the 94th Congress and $462
million in the 93rd. President
Ford challengi-d Congress to join
him in restraining Federal
spending by deepening a $395
billion ceiling on 1977 ex
penditures. He requested a
Federal spending cut of $28
billion in order to provide a $28
billion tax cut ... a tax saving of
$412 for every typical family of
four making $14,000. Con
sistently and almost single-
handedly, President Ford has
said "No” to spending bills that
went beyond his budget.
President Ford is making
government responsive to
fieople. By pursuing one of his
most important goals. President
Ford has set about to cut
government down to size ,., “to
make it more manageable, more
responsive, more efficient, and
less costly.” President P'ord has
come to the aid of the American
farmers, assuring them that the
Soviet Union will be a more
consistent buyer of grain at
market prices ,prices which
have fluctuated wildly over the
past decade. He has directed the
Secretary of Agriculture to
increase the 1976 Wheat Allot
ment by 8 million acres, thus
providing additional target price
and disaster protection.
President Ford has declared a
war on crime. He has called for
an end to “Saturday Night
Specials” that have no use other
than against human beings. He
has called for laws establishing
mandatory sentences for per
sons committing violent Federal
crimes. He has asked for an
extension of the law en
forcement assistance ad
ministration authorizing up to
$68 billion of F’ederal aid toState
and local governments to fight
crime, and improve pt'rsonal
safety. President Ford believes
that it is time for law to concern
itself with the rights of the
people it is designed to protect.
