Freshman initiation helps break the ice through clean fun The school year begins with new and unfamiliar faces. There are now many freshman students wandering around trying to become adjusted to college life and the AC campus. These new students stand out and it is obvious that some- thing is needed to help them fit into the crowd. This is what freshman initiation is all about. Sophomores create a situation that will break down the barrier between the two classes. This usually involves a ri- diculous new outfit, lots of syrup and flour, and plenty of eggs. If this episode of fun doesn ' t break the ice, the final event, including cakes, cokes, and potato chips, always results in many long-lasting friendships and many fun- filled experiences during the school year.

Visiting candidates seek student votes The year of 1976 was a political year. Across the nation, and even on the AC campus, campaign buttons, bumper- stickers, and a paraphernalia of political posters and pamphlets set the lifestyle for everyone. Jack Carter, son of Jimmy Carter, made an appearance on campus. He spoke briefly to a large crowd of en- thusiastic students. Classes came in second to Carter ' s campaign speech in support of his father. Some classes were dismissed to hear Carter and acquaint themselves with political issues and de- bates. President Ford also made a recent visit to Anderson. When the election season passed, Car- ter carried South Carolina and was victorious in the race for the United States Presidency.

Mock Civil Defense alert helps prepare for an emergency The sounds of sirens were heard on a cool October night in Anderson . Was it a national disaster? No, it was the civil defense alert. The Civil defense alert is practiced almost every year. Ambulance squads from all over the Anderson area were expected to appear at AC to pick up the wounded. Hospital officials were una- ware of the alert. AC students were chosen as vol- unteers for the event. Aches of the joints, shock, and pregnancy were only a few of the ailments students were pretending to have. At the hospital, students were treated for the diseases and soon released. Several dead on arrivals became revived at the hospital. Anderson citizens were amazed at the great cooperation of the AC student, often taking time to watch him.
