THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1965. ■THE DECREE- ,T „3 5_ Juniors Initiate New Projects Determined to Tflake this the best year yet, the eager class of ’67 s5heduled several new projects at a called meeting early Saturday morning. Under the leadership of Blaine Adams, Billy Norton, Marilyn Shei^rd and Terri Conway, who serves as president, vice-president, sec retary, and trea.surer respec tively, the Junior Class feels that financially they will have big returns. First on the agenda is set ting up a newspaper rack in memory of the late Nguyen Manh Troung, a Viet-Namese student, and Miss Barbara Mary Miller, a Wesleyan economics profes sor, who were fatally injured last year. On the stand will be Garb Day In accordance with Wesleyan tradition, Freshman Garb Day will be held on the campus on Friday, October 1, from 7:00 A. M. to 12:00 P. M. Garb Day, which was first held three years ago, has become an important phase of the Freshman Orien tation program. On Garb Day, Freshmen girls are not permitted to wear make up, jewelry, pins, ribbons or other decorations in the hair. Girls must select from their wardrobe a skirt and blouse consisting of various color, plaid, or pattern combinations. Fresh men girls are also required to wear white socks rolled down, and mixmatched shoes. All Freshmen boys are required to wear white dress shirts, dark ties, and dark slacks with one pants leg rolled up 3 Inches below the knee and mismatched shoes and socks, in addition, all regular Freshman rules will still be in effect. There will be a dance in the Student union that evening, drawing Garb Day to a close. Freshmen will continue to wear their beanies for at least another week. Food Services The quality and choice of fooJ currently available in the cafe teria facilities necessitates that a special committee be estab lished to discuss the situation with Mrs. Vanderslice, Super visor of Auxiliary Enterprise. The SGA, last January, had established a special senate com mittee to confer with the cafe teria personnel about the food “services”. The support of the students for the project was de monstratively shown by a student boycott of cafeteria facilities. After complaints of greasy, par tially uncooked food, repetitious and unappetizing menus, the SGA was able to reconcile the stu dents’ position by working with the cafeteria personnel. The members of the Wesleyan Community should order the sen ate to re-establish last year’s one semester committee and in sure that insults to the organs of gastronomical delight do not ever happen again. The special committee could correct the pre .=>nt condition and, if made a permanent part of the SGA, stop all future difficulties. The SGA will re-establish the committee only at the request and insis tence of the members of the Wesleyan Community. a plaque in their honor. During the Founders Day Convocation scheduled for October 25, the dedication will be made. Also in their honor the Junior Class will furnish the first Index Volume of the New York Times newspaper. This will be placed on a reserved shelf in the li brary in the hope that future classes will continue the 'col lection. Along with the newspaper rack the class of ’67 plans to offer the Wesleyan Community seat cushions bearing the school seal. Although this project is yet in the planning stage, ads will soon be sold. Also the class plans ^0 sell at a low cost, durable and clear plastic yearbook cov ers. Both of these projects are not only beneficial for the Junior Class but also a service to the students. With these projects already In motion the class president said, “We should do well.” It is felt that the members of this class realize the necessity of unison work for above average results. MATHEMATICS DEPARTMENT This year the mathematics department at Wesleyan is of fering the same fundamental courses as last year. As the college and faculty grow, these courses will be augmented. There are many opportuni ties available to a mathematics majors. Rather than graduate work, the teaching profession has been preferred by Wesleyan graduates. Joan L. Munday, Wini- ferd Sawyer, and Barbara Hall, 1965 graduates, are currently teaching. Mathematics majors can find an interesting career in the armed forces in such depart ments as Military, Ballistics, and Supply Control. The gov ernment also employs mathe matics majors in divil service jobs. At present, Betty Ander- sonj a 1964 Wesleyan graduate is so employed. Leading newspapers, such as the New York Timesi carry num- erous advertisements for math- ematic personnel. i Wesleyan Goe?

C. W. C. expecting to find themselves in a typical North Carolinian atmos phere, began to wonder for a time Thursday night if they were -in the right place. The Orientation Committee, as a continuation of their get-to gether and get-acquainted series, took th§ new students on an imaginary journey half-way around the globe to a Hawaiian luau. Features of the luau in cluded an authentic Hawaiian set ting, musical entertainment, and New freshmen struggle through registration a colorful array of costumes. The scenery, which was basical ly Hawaiian, contained the ex pected palm trees and the like, but was rimmed by Japanese lanterns to add a more oriental flavor. Headlining the entertainment was a folk music group from UNC “We Three and Me”. They pre sented a two segment program consisting of both popular and traditional folk songs. Brian Flynn, (alias Bob Dy lan) also appeared briefly. Brian, a freshman at Wesleyan, sang four selections including “Buffalo Boy” and Ballad «of the Four soldiers”, a song which he wrote. The costumes were both color ful and varied, some came at tired in typical Hawaiian dress (although the grass skirt was -sadly missing) while others wore 'bermudas and gay shirts and blouses, one boy even showed up in a bathing suit more easily identified with Atlantic City of the Roaring 20’s. Although all appeared to have an enjoyable time, it is most likely that they were glad to find themselves once again among Carolina pines at evening’s end. Vince-Dooley, football coach at the University of Georgia, is an avid student of history. He has his masters degree from Auburn in history and plans to study the subject while coaci’ ing at Georgia.
