New Dormitory
to Open in Fall
The rising senior women of
Winston-Salem State College are
anxiously awaiting the opening
of the new senior women’s dorm
itory. The building is to be com
pleted by April 15. Students will
live in the new dormitory at the
beginning of the next school
term.
The opening of this dormitory
will relieve much of the over
crowdedness of their present liv
ing conditions. For the past few
years State College has been
faced with the problem of over-
crowdedness. There are present
ly as many as four girls to a
room which makes it inconven
ient for proper functioning and
comfortable living.
This new dormitory, which
has not been named, will house
120 women. The building covers
a total area of 21,631.20 sq. ft.
There are three floors and a
basement to the building. The
building appears to be of simple
design from the exterior with
only a small amount of decora
tive additions of pre-cast stone
located at the entrance and a
pre-cast lining around the sides.

What is this new social organ
ization that has captured many
young men at the Winston-Salem
State College? Roy Hicks, vice-

COURSE
CANCELLED
As of July 1, 1978 the teaching
degree program in biology will be
cancelled at WSSU. Presently
only two people are enrolled in
the biology-education program.
The biology department itself is
in no danger and the decision to
eliminate the teaching major will
have little to no effect on the
department as a whole.
The decision to eliminate the
education program in biology
was made on the basis of a study
done by the Board of Governors.
The committee was headed by
Donald J. Stedman. The study
showed that at least 20 percent of
the teachers educated at 15 North
Carolina universities cannot find
work.
Aldermen
Elected
Dr. Virginia Newell, an active
and enthusiastic member of our
university family has been
elected alderman (she prefers to

niiM’lings twice a month and
make decisions and policies
(■onceming city ordinances and
( Odes. She is also involved with
setting-up the city’s budget and

Honor Gaines
By Evasvtt Jack •on
Founder's Day. October 17. wiD be a
special day for Clarence “Bighouse"
Gaines. No, it’s not his birthday or an-
Qsvenary. U*s the day for the dedica
tion of tbe new G.E. Oaiites Complex.
Tbe complex serves as a Mnicture of
gratitude for Clarence Oaines, tbe
man, the coach...TH£ LEGEND.
What about Clarence Gaines. Where
does he come frMn? What is he tike
and what are his accomplishments?
He was bom Clarence Edward. May
21.1923 in Paducah, Kentucky. He was
the only child of Lester and Olivia
Gaines. He was raised during the Great
Depreuion.
Gaines’ life has been centered
around love. “In fact 1 rejected some
of my love.” said Gaines, "I was
almost like a play toy.”
It is oflen heard of a baby being
born with a “silver spoon.” But with a
basketball? No. not really. However, it
would seem almost synonymous to (he
tremendous coaching success of
Clarence Gaines. "1 took after my
mother. She was very active in
athletics.” admits Gaines, “she always
lold me she was on a high school
basketball team that never lost.”
