ATLANTIC CHRISTIAN COLLEGE, NOVEMBER 16.1978
The newest member of The Collegiate staff.
Close Encounters of
the Compo Kind
During the next few weeks, the
Collegiate will be going through
some very important changes.
These changes are due to the
arrival of a new kid on the block.
As of Tuesday, Nov. 7, the staff
and advisor of the Collegiate
waved a welcoming “Hello!” to
the Compugraphic Composer,
which now lives in the Art
Department.
The Compugraphic Composer,
which is a product of the Com
pugraphic Corporation, is a
$15,000 piece of extremely
sophisticated equipment. The
composer will give the
Collegiate staff more freedom
and flexibility in what goes into
the paper and how it is printed.
The composer looks like a
large typewriter on a stand. But
it is more than that. It has a
memory (something the staff
does not have), it prints out the
copy for us, and it even allows us
to correct our mistakes
(something we really need).
Since the end of last semester,
the Collegiate has been pushing
for this addition. Due to the
rising costs of printing a paper,
the staff felt that it would in the
long run be cheaper for the

Collegiate to purchase their own
composer than continue to ask
the Wilson Daily Times to do the
composing for them. With the
help of Dr. Doster and several
influential members of the
Administration, a loan was
negotiated and signed in blood,
which would allow theCollegiate
to finance the Composer through
the college over a five year
period at a nominal interest
rate. This makes the next five
years an important five years
for the Collegiate. For example,
our beloved editor does not want
to see his grandmother run over
by a motorcycle gang that calls
itself the “A.C. Riders.”
With the composer, the staff
will be able to completely
prepare the paper and take it
down to the Times’ office
“camera ready.” This will cut
the cost of the paper drastically,
except for one little matter
called a $15,000 loan. With the
help of advertising, the staff
feels confident that the loan can
be repaid within the “five year
or through the nose” period.

Students and faculty of
Atlantic Christian College have
expressed shock over the recent
disappearance of student leader
Don Berry, who has not been
seen since Tuesday, Nov. 7.
Berry was reported missing to
the Wilson Police Department on
Thursday, Nov. 9, by Dean
Davis, Dean Monshower and
Berry’s rommate Bo Davis,
after contacting his parents who
have not heard from him.
Dean Davis, Academic Dean
of the College told theCollegiate,
that Berry had been having
some problems with class ab
sences recently as other sources
claimed he had been acting a
“bit erratic.” Berry was not
seen in Hackney Hall, where he
lived, since the night of Nov. 6.
The last time Berry was seen
was on Tuesday afternoon, as he
and a friend were sitting alone
on a downtown street watching a
building being torn down. Brian
McVeigh, the person whom
Berry was seen \\ith, said
I Friday he did not feel as though
Berry seemed depressed or
“anything like that,” at that
time.”
There have been other reports
that perhaps Berry had been
seen last Thursday night in
Raleigh at the Jesse Helms
Campaign Headquarters sup
posedly celebrating Helms'
victory in last week’s election,
but this report has not been
confirmed.

The search continues for Don Herry. missing for the past ten days.
The search for Berry is being
conducted through I tie office of
the Dean of Students, Dean
Joyner. Joyner explainf-d !o the
Collegiate that Berry had
perhiips left school to(>scape the
pressures of being S.G.A.
President, as well as other
pressures. Joyner told the
Collegiate thjit there seems lobe
several students or gnniiis which
were conducting their own
searches for Berry. .Joyner
staff'd that this could only
hamper the search, but not
allowing tlie police. lhr<High
Joyner, to conduct a IhorcHigh |
investigation. Instead, Joync'r
asks that all studi-nts who may
Iwve any information contact
him immediately
In the meantime, the SCJ.A

Dr. J. P. Tyndall, chairman of
the science department of
Atlantic Christian College,
mentioned at the advisor-
advisee meeting on November 7
that several possible changes
were being considered for the
science department. One of the
possibilities is that of expanding
the medical technology program
at A.C. into a four-year program
in cooperation with Wilson
Memorial Hospital and possibly
other area hospitals. Currently,
A.C. offers three years of pre-
medical technology preparation
and has an affiliation with the
Bowman Gray School of .Medical
Tet'hnology for the fourth year of
the program. A grant from the
Health Kducation Foundation of
F.astern North Carolina is to
fund a study of the feasibility of
expanding A.C’.'s medical
technology program. To be
considered in the study is the
fact that keen competition in
admission tonif'dical technology
schools has caused many
qualified students to be rejected.
There is also a suspicion thiit

students from eastern North
Carolina never return to

Another possible change in the
science department is the

Dr. Tyndall also made known
a plan to h:ive a premedical
review comniilte<- at AC. The
comniittt>e would interview and
review cri'dentials of medical
sch(K)l applicant.s. Dr. Tyndall
said that he hoped the com
mittee would be tough that if a
student gets the reconi-
mendation of this committw,
the student would have an ex
cellent chjince of admission to
one of the irKKlicai schools If a
student did not get this com
mittee’s recommendation,
however, he would still be able to
apply to a me'dical school
through normal channels.
The faculty is also discussing
changes in the basic laboratory
science requirements for all
students, possibly allowing a
