Hemby tries administration
Dr. James B, Hemby Jr.,
professor and chairman of the
Department of English and
Modern Languages, was sel
ected as an American Council on
Education (ACE) fellow in the
1979-80 ACE Fellows Program
in Academic Administration.
The program is designed to
strengthen leadership in Amer
ican higher education by iden
tifying and by preparing faculty
and staff for responsible pos
itions in academic adminis
tration. Thirty-five fellows,
chosen by the presidents or
chancellors of their institutions,
are selected each year in a
national competition. There
were 140 nominations for the
1979-80 class.
Typically, each ACE fellow,
during the academic year, either
at the home institution or on a
host campus, is assigned to a
college or university president
and chief academic officer to
participate in task-oriented ad
ministrative activities. Fellows
attend seminars on the
problems of academic admini
stration, read extensively in the
field, produce an analytical re
port. and engage in other activ
ities to prepare them for admin
istrative careers in higher educ
ation.
Dr. James B. Hemby
ACE and participating instit
utions are providing the fellows
an opportunity to see if they
would' like to go into adminis
tration as a career without any
penalty. They are guaranteed by
their institutions that they can
assume the same positions they
held the year before.
As a “home fellow” Hemby
will be spending one-half of his
time on the Atlantic Christian
campus where he will be study
ing all phases of the college’s
administration including the
executive branch - develop
ment. public relations, student
services, maintenance,
athletics, budget, student loans,
etc. He will be observing very
closely how the budget is put
together and presented.
Other projects on the ACC
campus are to study the feasi
bility of graduate programs in
certain disciplines; to invest
igate the advantages, disad
vantages and methodology of a
merit system for promotion and
pay raises for the entire campus
and propose a method of broad
ening and deepening the col
lege’s Continuing Education
Program. Time permitting, he
will deal with the feasibility of
establishing an honors program
at the college.
The remaining half of
Heniby’s time will be spent
working with the general ad
ministration and programs.
He is scheduled to attend
three week-long out-of-state
seminars sponsored by ACE. He
is to do a formal paper for the
council which will deal with his
proposal concerning one of his
projects - the merit system.

Have you ever wondered why
there is so much going on at
A.C.C. and why so many people
are involved'.’ It is a truly
amazing feat, but students have
again shown their great concern
for the affairs of their college by
the overwhelming attendance at
the Student Body meeting.
Wednesday night, Sept. 19, a
of the grand total of ten people
attending, nine were either on
the Cabinet or a class repre
sentative to the Senate. The
tenth person was a Collegiate
photographer. We hope that the
IWX) that missed the meeting
might at least care enough to
read what happened.
The rules of prixedure which
are used by the SGA Senate
were adopted as the format by
which the meeting would be
conducted. There was no old
business. Under new
business. President George Mur
phy states that the candidates
for Freshman class officers had
chosen not to make their speech
es at the Student Body meeting,
but rather at a scheduled Fresh
man Class meeting the follow
ing evening. He then asked for
anv other new business.
At that point, a student
question was raised about the
rights of students at A.C. and
how they might voice their
opinions on issues or present
concerns, such as longer visita
tion or alcohol on campus.
Murphy urged any interested
the Senate
meetings which are held at 5:45
on the 2nd and 4th Thursdays of
each month in the I'rustee Kix)m
of Hardy Alumni Hall, or to
contact a class renre.scntative.
Lee Morton, SGA Treasurer,
went over a breakdown of the
budget for the 1979-HO schixil
year, including the amount of
and percentage of the of
the student fees which gi>es to
SGA. This budget is presently
being considered by the Senate
and will be voted on at their next
meeting.
Mr. Murphy then announced
the Homecoming and Freshman
Class elections to be held Sept.
27 and 28, the final Homecom
ing elections and possible run
offs for Freshman Class officers
to be held Oct. 4 and 5, a special
Senate meeting called for Oct. 4
al 6;(X) p.m. for the State of the
Assix'iation Address by Pres
ident Murphy and the Homc-
coming Dance in the gym Satur
day, Oct. h. When a question
was raised about the reason for
having the dance in the gym, he
explained that all other pos
sibilities were bixiked.
With no further business, the
meeting was adjourned. Even
with the small number of peo
ple, hopefully something was
accomplished and all those who
should have been in the empty
chairs will be motivated to
become involved.
Best holds services
in Howard Chapel
Sept. 16 marked the Sun
day for the first service to be
performed in Howard Chapel for
