piiBLISHEDWEEKLY 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 News Briefs thanksgiving WORSHIP: The College Community is in- '’ited to join in a service of Thanksgiving Tuesday, Nov. 21.

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. Now, a change is never quite See K.\C()L'.\TKBS Page fi 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.
