Several Seniors Reveal Unusual
Plans for After Graduation
By KEITH BRACKNELL
The world trembles in an
ticipation of the new crop — our
seniors. They are the vanguard
of society — dedicated to the
profwsition: “I wonder what the
hell I learned here.” Before
Atlantic Christian College
unleashes the new furies on the
unsuspecting world, the paper
felt it would be interesting to see
how they plan to shake the tree
of life.
A haphazard sampling of
seniors answered the question:
At the Center
“What are your plans after
leaving Atlantic Christian?”
Their response ranged from the
sublime .... to less than sublime.
Sue Wilson said she would
teach art in school for one year
and then go to graduate school in
textiles.
Kevin Lorenz answered the
question with “I plan to grow
dental floss in Montana. ”
Not to be outdone, Jimmy
Ward has plans to move to Nash
ville — “I want to be a country
star.”
Phil Faison, who is a familiar
face on campus, has decided to
take his talents back to Virginia.
He wants to work in the state
mental hospital.
Margaret Barkley, like many
of the other science majors, is
wondering how industry will use
her knowledge. She will apply at
Abbott Laboratories ‘‘where
everyone else is applying. ”

Karen Quinlan Still Uving;
On Death For Dimities Sake
By D.AMKL \V. I,I\f)LKV
(CPS) — While medical ad
vances make inroads against
mortality, death curiixisly has
become a more controversial
and widely-discussed topic.
Simultaneously, academics
from myriad disciplines are
groping to provide a groundwork
for dealing with the area.
The focal point of the con
troversy centers around a
person's right to die, as
dramatized most publicly by the
case of Karen Ann Quinlan in
New Jersey. In September, 1975,
Quinlan s father, Joseph, asked
doctors to remove his 21-year-
old daughter, who had been in a
coma for five months, from the
respirator that was keeping her
technically alive. Lengthy court
battles ensued until the New
Jersey Supreme Court finally
decreed March 31, 1976 that
Quinlan could be taken off the
respirator if her physicians and
a panel of hospital personnel
agreed that there was no
reasonable possibility of
rwovery Since the decision.
Quinlan has undergone several
recoveries and relapses, and
remains coma lose to date.
Though the personal agony for
the Quinlans has not been
relieved by the court dwision,
the case has renewed interest in
the right of the comatose to
•'death with dignity " A
spokesman for the .American
Medical Association noted
recently that doctors have been
"unplugging " their patients for
years, but that the rwent in
crease in malpractice suits has
made legal protections a
necessity.
Dr. Eric Cassell, a clinical
professor at the Cornell .Medical
Center in New York, observed at
a February American
Association for the Advan
cement of Science (AAAS)
symposium in Denver lhat
although a legal morass can
develop when a patient is
allowed to expire, it can also be

major who was visiting campus
— Susan Williams. She has the
unusual job of ‘‘tobacco
foreman” at Export Leaf
Tobacco Co.
A few of the art majors gave
their plans.
Mark Moser: “Stay in Wilson
and paint,”
Duane Creech: ‘‘I’m going to
sit here and mulch.”
Bernie Volviva: ‘‘I’m going to
graduate school in ar
chitecture.”
Bryan Hunt, an English
major, aspires to be a ‘‘bum” —
specializing in gutters.
Fred Claridge vows to ‘‘gain
more writing skills with ad
ditional Joiu-nalism courses.”
Finally, with an ambition that
is constantly in our minds as an
alternative to work, Robert L.
Tedder optimistically asserts
that he is ‘‘gonna be a
millionaire.”
Dear, dear students,
I do not use the word ‘‘dear”
casually. My husband and I have
cared deeply for you. When I
read your card and saw the
beautiful wreath of spring
flowers I was reminded that
spring is eternal. Spring
reminds me of our faith and hope
for an eternal life. Thank you for
that beautiful reminder of hope.
I was reminded too that from
the dead of winter comes spring_
Surely from my husband s gift ot
his life to you through ACC there
is also a spring of young people
who are his living legacy.
God bless you, Mrs. Wenger
