Students Gain Experience
in Valuable Field Work
Begun in the spring of 1969,
supervised internship or field
experience became an integral
part of the B.S. major for both
psychology and sociology at
ACC. A casual discussion be
tween a faculty member and an
alumnus, Mr. R. B. Hawkins,
class of ’31, led to planning and
the first such work for credit in
the Psychology Department.
Both psychology and sociology
majors took the course entitled
Psychology of Social Work. Mr.
Hawkins, then supervisor for the
Eastern Region of the
Vocational Rehabilitation
Agency, arranged his schedule
to be with the students during his
lunch hour two days a week,
teaching without salary. Lec
tures, discussions, field trips,
and actual work experience
were the content of the course,
as they are now. Several
enrolled at that time are
currently employed by social
agencies in North Carolina,
Later, Mr, Folmsbee in the
Psychology Department was
assigned the course and has
taught it until the present. With
the addition of the B. S. major in
that department and the
beginning of the Social Work
Concentration in Sociology, an
adjunct professor was employed
for the latter program. Mr. Dan
Shingleton, with a M.S.W. from
Commonwealth
and several years
in Social Services,
the interns in that
Virginia
University
experience
supervises
field.
Students have been placed
over the years in Departments of
Social Services in nearby
counties. Several have done field
work at Cherry Hospital;
others have been placed with
youth agencies such as Richard
T. Fountain and Dobbs Schools.
A number have worked at
mental health centers, agencies
for the retarded, and in the
North Carolina Department of
Corrections. A few students have
used their summers as op
portunities to obtain credit by
working in their home com
munities, one as far away as
Bridgeport, Connecticut.
Occasionally, the student is paid
by an internship program
sponsored by the Department of
Human Resources in North
Carolina.
The programs are time con
suming, considering the travel
involved and the written and
oral reports required. However,
almost uniformly, those par
ticipating agree that the effort is
worthwhile in obtaining fir
sthand knowledge of how
classroom theory is applied and
in gaining experience as an asset
toward employment.
Carol Peele, a senior psychology major, learns by working wilh the
meiitallv retarded.
Cold Paralyzes Nation
The severe cold blitz that has
left at least 75 Americans dead
and sliced deeply into natural
gas supplies has forced millions
of Americans off the job or out of
school.
Thousands of schools, par
ticularly in the Northeast, were
closed Monday as state officials
fought to preserve diminishing
gas supplies.
The gas shortage forced toe
layoff of more than 1.5 million
workers in areas where plants
and businesses were ordered to
close or reduce operations so
availabe heating fuel could be
used for homes in the Northeast
and Midwest.
At least two states ordered
emergency measures to deal
with the weather and energy
crisis.
More than 75 deaths were
attributed to the weather during
the brutal storms and frigid
temperatures of recent days.
In North Carolina, the low
pressure system moving east
ward dusted the southeastern
counties of the state with less
than an inch of snow early
Monday. The National Weather
Service in Wilmington reported
there was about % of an inch of
accumulation.
The heavy demand for
unemployment comj^iKation
due to weather related layoffs
will put new pressure on state
unemployment compensation
funds that are already 3.6 billion
dollars in debt, the government
said.
Among the states hardest hit
by the chill were New York and
Pennsylvania, both of which
were declared eligible for
federal disaster relief. Pres.
Carter said Monday that
Florida, where the winter citrus
crop suffered extensive damage
from the freeze, could get
federal help.
According to the nation s
weathermen, February will see
no relief; record low tem
peratures are expected. North
Carolina has already recorded a
record low on Jan. 17 of-1 degree
farenheit.
Dean Swindell

Dr. Lewis H. Swindell Jr.,
dean of Atlantic Christian Col
lege, will conclude a 36-year
career in the field/«f education
upon retirement from his
position with the college at the
end of the current academic
year, according to an an
nouncement today by Dr. Arthur
D. Wenger, president of the
college.
Commenting on the announce-
“During his tenure as
academic dean at Atlantic Chris
tian College, Dr. Swindell has
provided highly significant
leadership in the development of
an increasingly effective
academic program.
