New Freshman Officers Pledge Support
The Freshmen class at N.C.
W. C. recently elected officers
to fill those positions vacated
this semester. Those elected
were Barry stallin^president,
George Watson, vice-president,
and Claire Anderson, secretary.
Returning as treasurer from
last semester is Marty Sarra.
President Barry Stallings hopes
to promote more social life and
activities on campus while in turn
producing more spirit among the
student body itself.
At this point, Barry feels
that the class is divided into
too many separate groups
or cliches which >aoes not, in his
opinion, constitute a class. As
president, he hopes to promote
those activities which will bring
the students of Wesleyan closer
together. The Hay ride sponsored
by the Freshmen Class is the
first attempt in this direction.
“ I want to help make this a
college instead of an academic
institution” says Barry, and thus,
sums up his ideas and hopes
for the Freshman class and the
student body as a whole.
George Watson, as vice-pre
sident, supports Barry Stallings
to the fulilest and plans to do
all he can to aid the class in
any ideas toward unity that can
be originated. “It is hard to get a
class to act together as a group
with the students taking such a
shallow attitude toward functions
on campus and the campus
itself.” George feels that the pro
motion of the previously stated
ideas will in some instances aid
to solve this critical problem
on campus.
George was also recently el
ected to serve on the Judicial
Board of the Student Life Asso
ciation.
Serving as Secretary for the
remainder of this year is Claire
Anderson. Claire hopes to install
a sense of cooperation between
all the classes with more unity
with the Freshmen Class as part
of the school. “As it stands
now, it is the Freshmen Class
and the rest of the school as
two sep&i'ate groups. I would
rather see the Freshmen class
be a part of this school instead
of a separate entity.”
One of the main ideas of the
class, although still tentative,
is the organization of a social
Fraternity on campus which will
work co-ordinately with the
Social Commission to provide
activities for the students.
The Fraternity would organize
projects to earn money to spon
sor these activities wnile the
Social Commission is hampered
by the lack of funds necessary to
promote activities every week
end. It is hoped that if the
idea of a Fraternity is passed,
that in a few years a Fraternity
house could be constructed on
campus to provide a place for
such activities as well as watch
ing television, shooting pool, etc.
This idea is fully endorsed
by the Freshmen Class officers
and partially has the backing of
the class.

College Support
Put At 99 Pet.
For Year Now
Ninety-nine per cent of the
$50,000 continuing support for
Carolina Wesleyan College for
1565 has been paid or pledged
to the Rocky Mount Area Wes-
leydn College Foundation, re
ports the college’s bimonthly
bulletin
Foundation directors learned
this month that $49,442.28 of the
$50,000 goal was pledged by 480
persons and organizations dur
ing the campaign. Part of the
money — $32,017.54—has been
collected. The balance must be
collected before the campaign
can be dtclared a success.
Foundation directors are
charged with collecting $50,000
annually for the college’s oper
ating budget. The commitment
was made by the Rocky Mount-
Nash-Edgecombe community in
1956 when it sponsored the
founding of the college.
Archie W. McLean, founda
tion pre.sident, has expressed
appreciation to the community
for its support in the campagn.
He also has paid tribute to the
work of Jasper L. Cummings,
campaign chairman, and fellow
foundation directors.
The campaign began in No
vember. November was pro
claimed “Wesleyan College Ap
preciation Month.”
“The success of our campaign
gives concrete evidence of the
appreciation by the communi
ty,” Cummings said.
Most of the contributors make
annual donations to the foun
dation, and they have been re
cognized as “honorary alumni”
of the college. Honorary alum
ni of the Class of ‘65 will be’
recognized on Founders’ Day
Oct. 25, 1965.
In addition to the campaign
for continuing support, the
foundation also i.; responsible
for collecting the area’s capi
tal pledges for constructing the
college.
A report to directors showed
$1,635,407.35 has been collected
from 3,513 original pledges.
Unpaid balance on 1,580 pled
ges amounts to $564,631.04. The
balance is being decreased as
pledges are paid.
