COMMUNITY COUNCIL
PASSED
The student body of No rth
Carolina !.'esleyan College voted
67-2 in favor of a Community
Council, Thursday, December 1$.
The Community Council is a new
program for governing the life of
the college. The goal is to estab
lish "1,'esleyan Community through
fidelity, service and integrity."
In The /ssembly program Dr. C.
Edwin Harwood, Professor of Eng
lish, explained that the key word
to the program is confidence c.nd
trust.
The Council has the pov/er to
counsel anyone or any group in
the I-esley^n Community to promote
a better relationship and effi
ciency in the Community. It has
the pov/er to investigate any area
of the community life to obtain
facts concerning various problems
o ±
confronting the community. It
may recommend to any person
or group of persons in the l^e^eyan
community the findings beliefs,
or suggestions of the Community
Council. It has no authority to
enforce action on any part of the
Community. This power is left in
the hands of the Dean and the Ad
ministration.
The Community Council program
does not list those things a stu
dent must no do. It presents •
the students a Bill of Rights,
which states:
"Me, the people of North Car
olina Lesleyan College Comr.unity
do firmly intend:
I. That every student of the
Community shall receive
equal and fair treatment
in all academic matters.
