From The Students
We the business students ana
members of Phi Beta Lambda
Business Fraternity would like
to express our deep and sincere
appreciation of the late Mr.
Edward F. Bazzle. He was truly
a loyal advisor, understanding
professor, and a good friend. Mr.
Bazzle was a very good person to
work with. He also shared a little
joke or smile, even on a sad and
lonely day. For twelve years, he
proudly supported and promoted
the Phi Beta Lambda Business
Fraternity at Atlantic Christian
College. Last year, Mr. Bazzle
had a very rewarding year as
Phi Beta Lambda advisor. Many
goals were fulfilled all because
he cared. We will never forget
Mr. Bazzle and the joys he
shared with us.
With love,

Contributes
To New Book
Dr. Roger Bullard, professor
of religion at Atlantic Christian
College, is the author and
translator of portions of a new
volume, “The Nag Hammadi
Library,” recently published by
Harper and Row.
The book was edited by James
M. Robinson and translated by
members of the Coptic Library
Project of the Institute for
Antiquity and Christianity in
Claremont, Calif.
It contains introductions and
translations of gnostic writings
discovered in Egypt late in 1945.
Gnosticism was a religious
movement of the early Christian
era that was later judged
heretical.
The discovery of the library
may contribute to the solution of
some problems in New
Testament studies, specifically
whether some books should be
interpreted in light of the gnostic
controversy.
The material was written in
Coptic and will increase an
understanding of the church in
the first through the third
centuries. It isalsorelatedtothe
beginnings of the Christian
monastic movement which had
its origins in Egypt.
Bullard’s contribution in
cludes an introduction to a
document called “The
of the Archons,”
the story of Adam
and Eve from the gnostic point
of view. In this version the
serpent is the hero because it
brings knowledge. Gnosticism
taught that knowledge saves.
Another document in the
library, “The Second Treatise of
the Great Seth,” was translated
by Bullard. It contains the
gnostic version of the crucifixion
in which Jesus only appears to
be crucified but is actually in
heaven watching the event.
Bullard also translated “The
Apocalypse of Peter,” an ac
count of a revelation to Peter
interpreted by Jesus.
The translation work began in
1967, Bullard is one of 31 scholars
to work on the project. He has
taught at Atlantic Christian
College since 1965.

Coneert Termed Success
By DO.N BERRY
Joyce Kennedy with her
dynamic voice had one of the
best concert audiences ever
assembled in Wilson Gym in the
palm of her hand Thursday
night. The Mother's P’inest-
Nantucket concert was dubtied a
complete success and everyone
who helped with it came away
exhausted but smiling.
Thursday night was little
rowdy, to say the least. The
bands were late, the people
inside were trustratea and the
crowd was downright mad,
which was certainly un
derstandable, The doors were
late opening. In fact, when the
doors were opened there wasn't
much left of them.
Once the angry crowd was
inside, however, they became a
terrific audience, something
Atlantic Christian has been
known to provide in the past. We
hope that, despite the adversity,
everyone had a good time.
with a bubbling transcription of
“Orphus in the Underworld
Overture,” by Jackques
Offenback, which features the
well-known cancan. The en
semble will explore various
sounds and textures in the avant-
garde work “SUPPOSES:
Imago Mund.” by Barney
Childs.
There will be selections from
the rock musical “The Wiz,”
which will include a drumi set
and electrical bass as part of the
ensemble. The concert will
conclude with the traditional
march, “Americans We," by
Henry Fillmore,
The concert is open to the
public free of charge.
Waiting For Godot
By Alpha Omega Players
An unusual novelty has been
scheduled for Howard Chapel on
Wednesday, April 5 at 7:30 p.m.
It is Samuel Beckett's con
troversial play, “Waiting For
Godot” to be presented by the
national touring troupe — Alpha-
Omega Players of Rock port,
Texas.
“Waiting For Godot” was a
great hit in London, New York,
Rome and other cities although
hardly any two spectators have
been able to agree on what the
play means, even while agreeing
to its being an unforgettable
experience.
It is a play without a plot. It
starts with two tramps waiting
t)eside the only tree on an empty
plain, waiting for Godot to come
— and without any idea who
Godot is or why they must wait
for him. At the end of the play,
the situation is unchanged. They
are still waiting.
