NUMBER ELEVEN
ACC Choir Presents Concert Tonight
Atlantic Christian College
Choir will present a concert of
sacred music in the First Baptist
Church, Wilson, on Dec. 8, at 8
p.m.
The choir will open the concert
with select anthems of praise.
Included in the anthems are two
examples of Russian liturgical
chorales, “Heavenly Light” by
Kopylow, and “Rejoice My
Soul” by Balakireff, followed by
“With a Voice of Praise,’ by
Handel; “Te Deum” by Clokey;
“How Lovely is Thy Dwelling
Place” from Brahm’s
“Requiem”; and Christiansen’s
arrangement of the hymn,
“Praise to the Lord.”
Following an audience carol
sing, the choir will close with
Benjamin Britten’s “A
Ceremony of Carols.” Solos will
be sung by students Lynn Boldin,
Cynthia Waters, Robert
Schoonover, Nan Deans, and Jan
Pittman. “A Ceremony,” will be
accompanied by Jacquelyn
Myers, principal harpist of the
North Carolina Symphony
Orchestra.
The “Ceremony of Carols”
was composed in 1942 abroad
ship when Britten was returning
to England from a three-year
stay in America. Despite the
Degrees In Music Approved
Atlantic Christian College’s
bachelor of arts and bachelor of
science degree programs in
music have been approved by
the National Association of
Schools of Music. At the same
time the college was named as
an associate member of the
national accrediting agency.
Approval of the baccalaureate
programs in music was achieved
following an extensive effort by
the college and its department of
music in elevating its musical
performance standards,
changes in faculty academic
status, and adjustment of ad
ministrative policy to conform
withNASM requirements.
NASM was founded in 1924 for
the purpose of creating a better
understanding among in
stitutions of higher education
engaged in work in music;
establishing a more uniform
method of granting credit; and
setting minimum standards for
the granting of degrees and
other credentials.
The association is a con
stituent member of the
American Council on Education
and the National Music Council.
NASM has been designated by
the Council on Postsecondary
Accreditation as the agency
responsible for the accreditation
of music curricula in higher
education.
In the field of teacher
education, the association
cooperates with the National
Council for the Accreditation of
Teacher Education. Services of
the association are available to
all qualified types of degree-
granting institutions in higher
education and to non-degree-
granting institutions offering
pre-professional programs or
general music training
programs.
Atlantic Christian was notified
of its approval by NASM, on
Nov. 18,1977.
SGA Shows
New Enthusiasm
As was stated by a member at
the end of the meeting, it was
apparent that the SGA members
had become emotionally in
volved in their jobs as student
leaders at this meeting if at no
other.
It all began when Pam Batts,
Senior Class President, ex
pressed her feelings on the
success, or lack of success, of
the Board so far during the year.
Miss Batts felt that the Board
was not reaching out to the
students; instead, they were
worrying too much about the
Entertainment Committee.
Dean Whitehurst, advisor to
the SGA, stated that one of the
problems was that the SGA
carried out their business during
the meetings, but took it no
further from there. It soon
became apparent that the Board
was operating as much as
necessary, but did nothing more
than that. Few committees,
except for the Entertainment
and the Special Constitution
Committees, have given reports
(firing meetings. President
Fuquay then asked Vice-
President Miles Stanley to check
^d make sure that all com-
grimness of war when they were
composed, the carols are
medieval in spirit, joyous,
mysterious, and simple.
— Mrs. Myers, harpist, is from
Carrboro. She had been prin
cipal harpist with the
Indianapolis Symphony
Orchestra and the National
Ballet Company before moving
to the N. C. Symphony
Orchestra.
The choir is directed by J.
Ross Albert, chairman of the
ACC Department of Music.
Accompanist will be Charles
Rakow, professor of organ and
church music.
The public is invited . No
admission will be charged.
mittees were functioning, with a
report to come at the next
meeting.
The Board examined them
selves further as they brought
two problems out into the open.
The first dealt with the parking
situation on campus. Several
members expressed dismay at
the conditions of the parking lots
as well as the lack of available
parking spaces. Whitehurst and
others soon convinced the Board
that the only way to create ac
tion was for each member to
appear before the Board and
speak out. The Board expressed
hope that their actions in this
repsect would cause some work
to be done on the lots.
Another point of concern wps
as to whether the Board could
convince the administration to
give the students a reading day
before exams during the 1978-79
school terms. Again the board
decided to appear before the
administration on the matter.
The meeting adjourned as the
most productive ever. Many
students expressed hope that the
emotions of the Board would not
lessen during the Christmas
break.
RJR Purchases
Wilson Painting
An oil painting by J. Chris
Wilson, of the Atlantic
Christian College Art faculty,
has been recently acquired by
R. J. Reynolds Industries for
display in its new world
headquarters building now
under construction in Winston-
Salem.
Wilson’s painting, entitled
“Gathering, Gathering,” will
be among works by 100-125
North Carolina artists
represented in the permanent
collection.
The painting was shown at
Atlantic Christian College in
October, 1975, when Wilson
had a one-man exhibit in Case
Art Gallery. The painting is a
large landscape, with a
dramatically illuminated sky.
,Executed in rich gray tones,
the mood is heightened by a
single figure isolated on the
water’s edge. The silhouette of
trees against the sky enhances
the drama.
An exhibit of Wilson’s
paintings and drawings is
scheduled at the Arts Council
of Wilson in December.
The Ozark Mountain Daredevils appeared here last Friday In a suc
cessful concert. A special thanks to all students who attended. (I’hoto

Viewpoint
The man grew up on a farm in
southern Ohio, but agriculture
was not to be his future. He
moved to Bethany College in the
hills of West Virginia for a
liberal education in religion,
philosophy, psychology, and
journalism. Then it was on to the
Ivy League and a degree from
Yale.
The next stop was the Shade
Valley Pastoral Unity in Ohio
where he and his wife traveled
about in a van attending to the
pastoral needs of rural folk. Tiny
churches in the mountains have
their own anxieties, and keeping
them together in that unity
required great tact and hard
work.
His alma mater called him
back to promote the school
among the churches. Here he
learned the intricate skills of
fund raising. Promoted to
assistant to the president, he
saw first-hand the trials and
perils of keeping a church
related college alive.

SGA Resolution
The following resolution was
read and approved at the Nov. 29
Executive Board meeting:
Whereas, the death of President
Arthur D. Wenger last
February left Atlantic
Christian College with a
leadership void in its highest
office; and,
whereas, the Board of Trustees
of Atlantic Christian College
called upon Mr. Milton
Adams, business manager, to
fill that void until such a time
as a new president had been
selected; and,
whereas, Mr. Adams has carried
out the duties and respon
sibilities of the office of
President of Atlantic Christian
College with efficiency and
dignity; and,
whereas, Mr. Adams has shown
a genuine concern for the
betterment of Atlantic
Christian College and the good
of the student body; and,
whereas, Mr. Adams shall
relinquish his responsibilities
to Dr. Harold Doster on
January 1,1978,
therefore be it resolved, that we,
the Executive Board of the
Student Government
Association of ACC does
hereby commend and
congratulate Mr. Milton
Adams for having done a
thorough job of providing this
institution with the leadership
necessary for the past ten
months,
be it further resolved that copies
of this resolution be sent to
Milton Adams, acting
president of ACC, Dr. Harold
Doster, president-designate of
ACC, “The Collegiate,” the
faculty bulletin, and Mr. T. J.
Hackney, chairman of the
Board of Trustees of ACC.
