Milton Adams Appointed Act
ing President by Trustees
Milton L. Adams of Wilson,
has been appointed acting
president of Atlantic Christian
College, according to an an
nouncement by T. J. Hackney
Jr., chairman of the ACC Board
of Trustees. He will fill the post
left vacant by the death of ACC
President Arthur D. Wenger, on
Feb. 25.
In his announcement,
Hackney said:
“Milton Adams worked iiv
timately with the late President
Wenger in establishing a sound
educational and financial
program at the college. He has
earned wide respect on the
campus and in the community.
The trustees are confident that
Atlantic Christian will continue
its progress under his leader
ship.”
Hackney said the selection
process for a permanent
president would begin right
away. A search committee is to
be appointed shortly and will be
comprised of all elements of the
college community.
Adams has served as business
manager for Atlantic Christian
College since 1949. He is a 1937
graduate of Atlantic Christian.
Editor — Last Tuesday The
Collegiate conducted an in
terview with the college business
manager and interim president
Mr. Milton Adams. The purpose
of this interview was to dispel
any false notions by students,
faculty, or other interested
persons concerning the financial
status of the college. It is a fairly
well known fact that ACC is a
well run and financially stable
institution. Some facts which
concern the financial condition
of the college emerged during
the interview, and they follow.
First of all, the operational
budget proposed for next year is
$4,955,000 up approximately
$250,000 from the previous year.
According to Mr. Adams, the
college expects to meet this
budget and end the year in the
black. In fact, ACC has operated
in the black all but two of the last
20 years. That is quite an ac
complishment in light of today’s
rising costs and inflation; many
small colleges have closed down
in the past 10 years because of
finances, while a majority of
others have been forced to
operate in the red. This all the
more surprising if it is kept in
mind that among comparable 4
year private institutions, such as
High Point, Lenior Rhyne,
Catawba, Campbell, Methodist,
etc., ACC is in the bottom 15 per
cent of total fees charged to
students.
An independant study con
duced in 1972 by The
Management Division Academy
for Educational Development
Inc , listed ACC as being one of
the best finanacially handled
small colleges in the U. S. Mr.
Adams stated that the school has
excellent financial status, pays
all its bills on time every month,
and has a triple A credit ratmg
anywhere anyone cares to ask.
As a sidenote, Mr. Adams was
asked if he had any desire to
become permanent president of
Atlantic Christian. He stated
that although he was highly
flattered that the Board of
Trustees asked him to act as
interim president, he had no
ambition to be the permanent
president of the college.
News in Brief
Wenger Memorial Fund Established
WILSON, N.C. — A memorial fund honoring the late I’resideni
Arthur D. Wenger is being established at Atlantic Christian
College, according to an announcement by T.J. Hackney. Jr..
chairman of the ACC Board of Trustees.
"The fund is being established in response to requests by
numerous friends of Dr. Wenger and the college." said
Hackney. "The trustees of the college enthusiastically endorse
the concept."
Eventual use of the fund will depend in large measure on the
total amount contributed. The board chairman pointed out, for
example, that $250,000 would endow a faculty chair; $125,(MK)
would endow several schoarships; or $20,0(K), a lectureship.
Competition on View in Gallery
The first annual High School Art Competition Exhibition is
currently on view in the Case Art Gallery at Atlantic Christian
College.
High schools within a 50 mile radius were invited to par
ticipate in the first competitive exhibition for high school
students sponsored by the ACC Department of Art.
Some 315 entries were received and judges selected 121 for (he
show. High schools represented in the exhibition are: Fike
Senior High, Kinston High, Southern Wayne, North P^dgecombe
High. Tarboro Senior High, Cardinal Gibbons. Rocky Mount
Senior High, Saratoga Central, Smithfield-Selma High, South
Edgecombe and Rocky Mount Academy.
The art department has been encouraged by the participation
as well as by the quality of work submitted and is already
planning for a more ambitious show for next year.
The public is invited to visit the exhibition of paintings,
drawings, prints and two-dimensional mixed-media works. The
gallery hours are Monday through P’riday from 10 a.m. to 4:30
p.m., and on Saturday from 1:30p.m. to 3:30p.m.
Tryouts for One Acts Monday
Tryouts for four hilarious one-act plays will be held Monday
and Tuesday, March 21 and 22, at 7 p.m. in Howard Chapel.
Each play will be directed and staffed by students.
Cliff Blowe will direct "Postcards." an amusing look at a
couple who spend their lives sending postcards to the famous
people of the world.
"I'm Herbert," to be directed by Donna Perrin, reveals the
foibles of an elderly often-married couple who can't quite
remember which spouse each did what with.
The four-character play, "The Footsteps of Doves." involves
the conflict over whether a middle-aged couple should replace
their double bed with twin beds. The husband fights the move,
thinking it will be the beginning of the end for their marriage.
Jimmy Ward directs.
The fourth play is an hilairous spoof of a military court-
martial called "Clevenger's Trial." If the name sounds familiar
it is probably because the play is an adaptation of the Ninth
chapter of Catch-22, the famous absurdist novel of military life.
The six characters will be directed by the team of Walter Knight
and Ray Connell.
