Hindu dance brings eastern culture to Atlantic Christian.
Bhaskar To Perform
Bhaskar: Dance of India
Concert, will be presented
Tuesday, Sept. 13, in Fike High
School Auditorium, at 8 p.m. The
concert is being sponsored by
the Atlantic Christian College
Concert and Lecture Committee,
and the Arts Council of Wilson.
Internationally acclaimed as
one of the grestest con
temporary proponents of
classical Hindu dance in the
world, Bhaskar’s avowed ob
jective is to bring an ancient,
incredibly art form to every part
of the United States.
Bhaskar is the son of the late,
renowned artist-sculptor, D. P.
Roy Chowdbury. His early
career began as a boxer
(welterweight champion of
Madras), progressed to a film
career (some 25 films) and
culminated in an intensive study
of all forms of classical Hindu
dance. At the age of 25, Bhaskar
had formed his own dance
company, had toured throughout
India, had given a command
performance for Queen
Elizabeth II, and had been
decorated by the late 'rime
With the economy emerging
from its woeful slump, there is
an upward swing in hiring of
college graduates.
According to the College
Placement Council, job offers
for Bachelor’s Degree can
didates at 160 colleges are up 49
per cent from last year. This was
also reflected in the number on-
campus visits by employers this
past year.
The recruiters that have
visited Atlantic Christian
College this past year have cited
several factors as to why
graduates were not extended a
job offer. These reasons are as
follows:
—unrealistic salary demands
—poor grades
—poor communication skills
—restricted mobility to a
certain geographical location
—lack of knowledge about the
company
Minister Nehru for his out
standing contribution to Indian
art.
A true son of the East,
Bhaskar’s assimilation of the
West is startlingly obvious in his
most recent choreographical
works — which blend classical
Hindu movements with modern
dance movements. In the case of
Bhaskar, if his adopted country
is indeed a “melting pot", the
metal appears to be pure gold in
the eyes of dance fans and critics
alike, who are more and more
eager to accept an ancient in
credibly beautiful art form as
very much their own. His dance
partner is Candice Hibbard.
A master will be conducted on
Monday, Sept. 13, at Atlantic
Christian College, from 2-3 p.m.,
and 5-7 p.m., in Hardy Alumni
Hall.
Tickets will be available at the
door or may be purchased at the
Arts Council of Wilson, 205 Gray

groups numbering over 10. For

Clubs React
Due to the controversy over
last week’s budget cuts by the
SGA, “The Collegiate” has
sought reaction to these cuts
from the organizations affected.
Sarah Gattis, faculty advisor to
Pi Gamma Mu, one of the
organizations whose funds were
cut, was interviewed.
Gattis questioned the
priorities of the SGA when ap
propriating funds to various
campus organizations. She asks,
“Why doesn’t the student
government try to create a
balance in funding between
academic activities and
organizations and social ac
tivities and organizations?’’ She
says that apparently the SGA ib
more concerned with en
tertaining the students than
providing academic op
portunities for them.
Gattis adds that the Pi
Gamma Mu organization of AC
is recognized nationally by
various social science
organizations. “Academic
organizations, such as Pi
Gamma Mu, help to raise the
quality of education at AC,” says
(iattis. She asks, “What better
purpose could student money be
used for than to improve the
academic quality, since
academic study is what students
are on campus for to begin
with?”
Gattis suggested that the SGA
should establish a fund to pay for
academically oriented lectures
and trips sponsored by
organizations. The benefits that
could be reaped from such ac
tivities would well be worth the
small amount of money that is
necessary to fund them, she
said.
Gattis expressed her disap
pointment that the organization
will no longer be able to sponsor
speakers due to the loss of funds.
Reggie Sandlin, president of
the Afro-American Awareness
Society, expressed sadness over
the loss of funds by his
organization, although he said
that he did not have “hard
feelings” towards the SGA.
Sandlin said Afro-American
was a “great help to blacks, in

Three campus organizations
were denied funds by the ACC
Student Government
Association Executive Board at
its regular meeting held
Tuesday, Aug. 30. The
organizations slated to lose
funding are the Afro-American
Awareness Society, Pi Gamma
Mu, and the Social Club.
Funds were tenativeiy
withheld from the organizations
because of their failure to
become established as official
campus organizations.
It was pointed out by Miles
Stanley, parliamentarian, that
the SGA is required by its
constitution, to fund only gnxips
which are official past had
apparently failed to enforce the

It was unclear what action the
three groups in question could
take to establish themselves as
official campus organizations to
