The only exceptions to the examination schedule are for students
with as many as three difTicut examinations on one day. In this case,
the student must notify the Dean of the College no later than 10 days
before the beginning of the final examination period (December I).
Normally the examination will be administered one day following the
scheduled examination. When this date results in another three
examination day, the examination may by administered one day
before the scheduled examination. All other absences will result in an
automatic failing grade. When an emergency requires that a student
must miss a scheduled examination, the Office of the Dean of the
College must be notified as quickly as possible.
Prof. Gattis Honored
Sarah B. Gattis, social science
professor at AC, has been
recognized by the Pi Gamma
Mu International Honor Society
in Social Science for her contri
butions to the AC chapter of the
society.
Gattis applied for the AC
charter 13 years ago, and since
that time 266 members have
been initiated. Because the
chapter has sponsored many
activities and guest lecturers, it
has appeared on the Inter
national Roll of Distinction four
years and the Roll of Merit five
years.
According to International
president, Scott D. Johnston,
“Few persons approach their Pi
Gamma Mu duties with as much
creativity and enthusiasm as
does Professor Gattis.”
“Good faculty officers are of
primary importance in an effec
tive chapter of Pi Gamma Mu,”
Johnston said.
Gattis is in the first group of
faculty to receive this recog
nition established by Pi Gamma
Mu trustee action in April.
Gattis was presented this
award at the October faculty
meeting.
Harold C. Doster, AC presi
dent, said, “This is a distinct
honor and one which we arc
pleased to know has been
awarded to Professor Gattis.
"She is extremely conscien
tious in her leadership with Pi
Gamma Mu Chapter here on
the Atlantic Christian College
campus.” he said.
The purpose of Pi Gamma
Mu, according to the organi
zation's handbook, is to improve
scholarship in the social sci
ences and to achieve synthesis
therein; to inspire social service
to humanity by an intelligent
approach to the solution of
social problems; to engender
sympathy toward others with
different opinions and institu
tions by a better mutual under
standing; and to supplement
and to support, but not to
supplant existing social science
organizations by promoting so
ciability and attendance at
meetings.
Pi Gamma Mu is a member of
the Association of College Hon
or Societies on whose council it
has representation.
