ATLANTIC
CHRISTIAN COLLEGE
Dean Whitehurst gets new job.
New students who are arriving
on the Atlantic Christian College
campus will not notice anything
unusual, but returning students
will quickly find that a few
administrative changes have
taken place. During the past
summer, three new deans have
been hired as one former dean
found himself moved into
another building.
Last year’s Dean of Students,
Dean Zeb Whitehurst, has
received, if not a promotion, at
least a title change as he was
named Director of College
Relations. Mr. Whitehurst will
be involved in the future
development of the college as he
works with present and past
students and their parents,
college alumni and community
businesses and civic
organizations. Whitehurst will
be working hard to build up
support for the school within the
college and the community
surrounding it. One of his func
tions in his new position will be
to help make the school a vital
part of the Wilson community.
Whitehurst will find himself off
campus an average of two days
a week as he seeks an in
teraction between the two.
Replacing Whitehurst as Dean
A cruise to the Carribean was
in store for this author over the
summer months. Many weeks
were spent in front of the
television set watching the
“Love Boat” to help prepare for
the unexpected on the cruise.

BSU
The Baptist Student Union
(BSU) is a religious organization
dedicated to creating Christian
fellowship on all college cam
puses. BSU strives to help
students find inner strength
without a strict, formal struc
ture.
Over the past few years, BSU
has been very active at Atlantic
Christian. By sponsoring coffee
houses, car washes, outreach
teams and refreshment stands,
their summer missions program
has been successful. This
program allows college students
the opportunity to witness for the
Lord in many lands.
Two years ago, the Atlantic
Christian BSU was named the
best BSU in North Carolina. This
year promises to be an exciting
year as AC attempts to reclaim
this cherished honor. President
Chuck Wheeler and Vice-
President Sharon Norvell invite
one 'and all to join BSU. They
also encourage you to attend the
college Sunday School class
from 10:00 until 10:40 at the First
Baptist Church located at 311
West Nash Street. Refreshments
are served until 10:00. Sunday
School is held at “The House” on
315 W. Nash.
Come to BSU and bring a pal!
We want to be your friend.
Chuck Wheeler
of Students is Gordon Joyner
from Fayetteville. Dean Joyner
has three children even though
he looks as if he is not old enough
to be married. With Dean Joyner
comes an attitude that whatever
happens in the office of the Dean
of Students is up to the students
and not the Dean. Joyner wants
a close interaction between his
office and the students; through
not only the S.G.A., but through
the individual student himself.
Any student who has a com
plaint, or who needs help is
encouraged by Dean Joyner to
come down to his office and let
him know about it.
Also moving into the Student
Center offices is A1 Monshower,
who is replacing Larry
McCracken as Dean of Men.
Dean McCracken resigned this
past June. Monshower hails
from Manhatten, Kansas and is
a recent graduate of East Carol
ina where he was in a Double
Masters program. While at
ECU, he worked as a graduate
assistant. A retired military
officer, he hopes to move his
wife from Fayetteville within 6
to 8 months. Monshower’s policy
goes hand in hand with that of
DeanJoyner; the student affairs
office is here to serve the
students and serve as a “bridge”
day, August 5, at 4:30 p.m. The
first order of the day was the
introduction of the passengers to
the captain and his crew. The
second order of the day was the
retrieval of one’s luggage. The
crew was obviously in high
spirits upon their arrival back in
Miami after spending a week at
sea with another cruise party.
They were throwing luggage and
suit bags at each other. While 1
was searching for my bags, I
noticed a middle aged man
crying over in the corner. I
wandered over to ask if I could
offer him any assistance. He
pointed to his luggage that was
at the bottom of a pile containing
a foot locker and several suit
cases.
I noticed that there was a mild
reddish hquid dripping from his
suitcase. While crying un
controllably, he told me that he
had stored several bottles of
scotch in his suitcase for the
cruise and you can figure out
what happened. Scratch the
booze and chalk one up for the
American Tourister!
A fire drill was the first item of
business for all passengers once
they were settled into their
quarters. Fire exits and the use
of life jackets and life boats were
explained to the some 900
passengers. Yep, there were
over 900 passengers on the TSS
Carnivale, a ship registered in
Panama. Once back into the
quarters, we met our room
Stewart, Mr. Chin. A dapper
man of 40 from China. He was
just super, taking our clothes out
of our bag and putting them into
our drawers and hanging our
jackets and shirts up in the
closet. Every morning, Mr. Chin
between the students and the
staff. Monshower sees no
changes anywhere in the near
future, believing that “if things
are running smooth, then don’t
change it.”
F. Mark Davis is the new
Academic Dean on campus.
Davis comes from Augsburg
College where he was Assistant
Academic Dean. Dean Davis’
responsibility here at Atlantic
Christian is to oversee all
academic programs and the
faculty. Davis sees no im
mediate changes ahead but
possibly some changes over a
period of time. He has begun to
study the academic programs on
campus to see where changes, if
any, are needed. He already is
creating an ad hoc committee to
advise him on the attendance
policy at A.C., and he is in
terested in why so many
students are presently receiving
incompletes at the end of the
year, and are being allowed
extra time to turn in work.
With the changes and ad
ditions to the A.C. staff, students
are bound to find Atlantic
Christian a little bit different
and hopefully a little bit better
than last year.

around 7:00 a.m. I would leave
the room around 8:00 a.m. and
proceed to the dining room.
Since breakfast was served at
9:00 a.m., I would sit on the
French Boulevard overlooking
the ocean and drink coffee until
the “gong” was sounded that
announced that the meal was
ready. We were told to count the
calories when we got back into
the States, and not while we
were on the cruise. I now see
why, the food was just delish.
When we returned to our
quarters, the beds were already
made up and fresh towels were
in the bathroom. An agenda
sheet that described the day’s
activities was put in our rooms
along with the latest news
compiled from dispatches from
all over the world; Bonn, Lon
don, Paris, Stockholm,
Johannsburg, and New York.
This kept us abreast of the
events that we were to leave
behind, for one week. For you
ladies, the room stewards would
lay your night gowns on your bed
at night in the form of a heart,
they were romantic indeed!
A full day was spent at sea on
Sunday. There were church
services for all denominations.
It was a solemn time for we had
heard that Pope Paul had passed
away. Sunny skies were
awaiting our arrival on the main
deck. Four swimming pools with
plenty of gals in skimpy bikinis
Anyone interested in working
on “The Collegiate” staff for the
78-79 school year is cordially
requested to attend a staff
meeting, 6:30 p.m. Monday,

office. Please bring samples o(
your writing to be published.
come into full view. Alter
searching for a deck chair, I
located one that was next to a
“foxy lady.” I somehow
managed to strike a con
versation up and found out she
was a legal secretary named
Dianna from Miami. This too,
was her first cruise. After many
minutes of conversing and
seeming to get no where, I
inquired as to who she came on
the cruise with or was she alone?
With that question, a guy that
was a carbon copy for Charles
Atlas came over and satdown on
her deck chair. For my safety, 1
hightailed out of there. I never
wanted to be bait for Jaws cause
he could have flipped me
overboard with his little finger.
No kidding, he was hugh! So
much for Sunday.
Monday saw our arrival into
San Juan. It was a most
gorgeous place. That night, a
group of us went to the El San
Juan Club or a show. What a
show, it was a combination of Ed
Sullivan and the Playboy Club.
We were taken to a jewelry store
that was duty free, a many a
bargain could be found on rings,
watches, and gold ingots. I
noticed a ploy that was very
evident. The store served mixed
beverages that obviously in
duced the customer to purchase
more for the beverages were on
the house.
To be continued next week.
Positions also available in
commercial art, sales, layout
and design, typing, and cir
culation. Anyone not attending
will have very little chance of
working on the staff unless
Rueggy is informed of your
intentions prior to the meeting.
