JANUARY 19,1978
The Student’s Voice
Our Challenge
We the students of Atlantic Christian have been
issued a challenge. And I, for one, feel that we are
capable of carrying out our part of that challenge. On
January 1, 1978, Dr. Harold C. Doster became the new
president of Atlantic Christian. His quick, sincere smile
and his eagerness to meet and talk with students have
created much more enthusiasm and excitement than I
have experienced on this campus in quite awhile.
So what is the challenge? Quite simply, it is to main
tain this enthusiasm. President Doster has set aside
time to talk informally with students each week. He is
truly interested in what we feel; he wants us to be a part
of his plans — not only when they are carried out, but
when they are in the formation process. If President
Doster’s hope for a closer relationship between ad
ministration and students is realized, Atlantic Christian
could take on an entirely new atmosphere. But half of
the responsibility lies with us. We must take the time to
meet this man and let him experience our own enthusi
asm. If we fail to take advantage of the opportunity to
make our feelings known, we will not only lose our voice
in the government of this campus, we will also lose a
chance to meet a man who has already proven that he is
truly interested in how we feel. I feel that we are
capable of maintaining the enthusiasm which has flou
rished since President Doster’s arrival. With an effort
on the part of each of us, we can make his arrival the
beginning of a new era.

Titticut Follies
“Titticut Follies” is an obscene film shown in Hardy
Alumni Hall Monday the 16th to a capacity crowd. Why
would the good people of ACC and Wilson attend a film
depicting nudity and gross adventures of the mind and
body?” The answer appears simply enough. The film is
also a documentary of the Massachusetts State Hospital
for the Criminally Insane. Hurrah for the people who at
tended. They showed some concern for the plight of
their fellowman.
Not actually though. After the showing of the film,
half of the audience left the auditorium while Dr. Terry
Grimes was left announcing into the heaving noises of
the mass exit that there was a panel discussion on the
subject of the film — injustice and abuse in state mental
health institutions. Some of the die-hards endured the
discussion which proved to be interesting and in
formative.
Unfortunately, the movement toward the door con
tinued. The audience was distracted and the speakers,
Barry N. Nakell, attorney, and psychiatrist Dr. Thomas
Swartzwelder, appeared disturbed.
There are excuses for rudeness, like boredom, or a
need to do something more important. It could be that
some of those in attendance were themselves disturbed
by the shock of reality. But what was disappointing
about the reaction to the program was that the
people only showed themselves true to form.

Recital
Miss Jeanne Rose Tice of
Mov(K-k, will be presented in a
senior organ ret-ilal by the At
lantic Christian College
Department of Music, on Jan. 26,
at 8 p.m., in St. Timothy's
Episcopal Church, in Wilson.
native of Moyix'k, Miss Tice
tias studied organ with Mrs.
Catherine Miller and Mrs. Anna
Bair, and is currently studying
with Charles Rakow of the ACC
music faculty.
Her program will include
selections by Buxtehude, Bach,
Pepping. Langlais, and Vierne.
The recital is presented in
piirtial fulfullment for the B.A.
degree in music.
Miss Tice is the daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. James W. Tice,
R(Xite2, Moyock.
The recital is open to the
public free of charge.
He grew up in the Newton
Grove community, south of here.
Never used a telephone until he
came to the big city to attend AC
College. He soon established a
reputation for leadership that
characterizes everything he
does. A business major, he was
elected the first President of the
Cooperative Association, a
forerunner of the present SGA.
Many, many years later he
would be given the Alumnus of
the Year Award.
To make his own way through
school he worked every af
ternoon at Bissette’s Drug store.
A Wilson woman told me
recently that back in those days
the girls in town would find
excuses to drop by Bissette’s to
talk with him.
After graduation he joined
Branch Banking and Trust
Company, but service in the U.S.
Army during World War II
brought that career to a quick
end. Following the war he went
to work in a bank in Greenville,
but a friend persuaded him to
come to ACC as the College’s
first full-time Business
Manager. It was the best ap
pointment ever made here.
The job was more than met the
eye. He also taught a few
business courses, managed the
bookstore and cafeteria, and
served as athletic director. His
love for sports runs deep, and
the Bulldogs have never had a
more loyal fan.
His leadership in the city of
Viewpoint
Wilson has often come at crucial
times. Right now, as Chairman
of the Board of Education, he is
guiding us through the in
tricacies of a merger of three
school systems and the building
of two new high schools. His
calm, quiet manner is one of the
major keys to the success of the
program.
He has been President of the
Wilson Chamber of Commerce,
the Wilson Civitan Club, and has
served on local committees too
numerous to count. If you want it
done right, you ask him to do it.
An avid golfer, he shoots in the
seventies, putting to shame the
younger men who play with him.
He jogs regularly. His three
daughters are excellent tennis
players, and his bright young
son, an engineering student at
State, played on the tennis and
soccer teams at Fike High
School.
Someone who has known him a
long time described him to me as
“pure gold.” A friend of mine,
highly skeptical of matters
religious, once told me, “He is
what a Christian man ought to
be.” Needless to say, he has
been Chairman of the Board of
First Christian Church,
President of the Men’s Class,
and has served several terms as
an elder. For many years he and
his lovely wife have cooked the
Christmas dinner for our
campus UCCF group.
He is known for making
careful deliberate decisions, as
evidenced by the fact that he
waited until age thirt^..f.,

ACC Receives
Reaccreditation
Atlantic Christian College has
received a 10-year continuation
of its accreditation by the
Southern Association of Colleges
and Schools.
The action came at a meeting
of the association held this week
in New Orleans, La. Milton L.
Adams, acting president of the
college, and Dr. Lewis H.
Swindell Jr., dean of the college
represented ACC at the meeting.
The action followed a self-
study conducted by the college
over a period of two years, as
well as a campus visit by a group
of noted educators who con
ducted a series of conferences,
interviewed members of the
college community and
reviewed the self-study.
It Makes
A Difference
By PHYLLIS PARRISH
Wake Forest’s man-to-man
defense made the difference as
did my seat at the Deacons vs.
Clemson basketball game.
Getting a guest press-row pass
from The Wilson Daily Times, I
found myself seated at the floor
of the rigorous action in
Greensboro Coliseum.
I have been to collegiate
games before, but never was I so
close that I could read the
players shoe labels and Saint
Christophers. My neck even got
sore from looking straight up at
the center score board. That
would give any reporter a pain in
the neck. These minor
discomforts however, were soon
forgotten.
The press secretary brought
statistic sheets, programs, and
press passes. Did I feel im
portant! Behind me I saw
hundreds of fans snugly seated
in pull-down chairs. My
cushioned chair made a dif
ference, as did the elbow room,
and no bobbing heads in front of
me; only ten athletes and the
shining gymnasium floor. Then
the official tossed the ball for the
jump and my mind became
engrossed in high speed
basketball.
Even though Clemson per
formed like “Tigers,” the Wake
Forest Demons had God on their
side. Sparked by ball-handler
Mark Dale, Wake Forest rose
from a nin^point halftime
deficit to tie the score at 84-84 on
an alley-oop play from Larry
Harrison with 26 seconds left in
regulation time. Tight man-to-
man defense by Wake Forest
proved effective as Wake Forest
trimmed down Clemson’s lead.
Clemson’s Derrick Johnson
missed a 20-footer, Wake Forest
captain Rod Griffin rebounded,
and sent the game into overtime!
In overtime the two teams
exchanged free throws until
