Monday, November 20, 1967 THE DECREE PAGE^ POIYTIN’ AROUND by Omar Duts & Steve DeArm Yes, we’re still here, bring ing to light facts and figures (trash and miscellaneous gar bage) about Wesleyan Campus, W;mt to see your name in print? Just tick off a mem ber of the staff... To ^11 people who ask us to quit writing “sin” in our column, we thank you for the compliment. Contributions to the Jim Hogan Drivers Retrain ing Fund may be left in The Decree office. Remember, the life you save may be your own. We notice that the soccer team has an unblemished record for the season. Seriously, NICE COACH! Tony DeMuth has a new name. The Wesleyan Sheepherder. Will someone please tell the Highway Patrol where our Lost and Found Department is ? We imagine they’d like their signs back. Maybe they’ll request help from the Rocky Mount Fuzz. Saw Mike Knott with his arm around Mrs. Hagins, in his room no less. Harper’s Bi zarre was a smashed, (oops) smashing success. Notice! Steve DeArm is look ing for a good lawyer...but not because of Poiytin’ Around... another article is the culprit. By the way Omar, could you decide whose car you plan to use for after dance ceremonies? L. T. dedicates her birth con trol seats to Peggy. Looks like one of the authors of this column will be hurting soon. By the way, there are defi nitely girls who turn Ed Pierce on.^ Next time you see Gagnster, notice that he’s wearing two shoes now, at least he’s civ ilized in that respect, (se riously, Gangster, Nice Foot), Did you hear what happened to Peyton one Sunday? The steering wheel of her car came off in her hands. The guy she was with drove the car back with a wrench. Talk about losing control! We see party boys, Tom, Butch, Benny, and Rich are doing fine; wonder what they do in their pad all week long. Sally Edwards dared us to men tion her name in this column, so here it is. We hear Tom Moore got mugged. The infamous HICKEY OF THE WEEK AWARD goes to The Hair, for his necklace of hickeys. We feel the runner- up position deserves mention this week...had Charlie Kemp’s hickey been 5 cm. wider, he would have won the award. This particular Item turned up during a room search. It was returned by Dean Wilde, Funny thing about the way we mention names in this col umn and nothing happens. We suppose intelligent people don’t want to make mountains out oi molehills. Norma Winstead receives two awards this week; 1) The Trash - Mouth of the Week Award for telling Omar to “go to hell” for mentioning I I |v STUDENT UNREST MDUNTS The Religious Life Commit tee of the faculty is seriously considering the Convocations proposal concerning chapel at the present time. At its regular meeting on November 3, the committee members expressed their views on the matter and addressed questions to Dean J. W. Moore, author of the proposal. No action was taken on the proposal at that time, however. Dean Moore reported that the Education Committee of the faculty increased the number of semester hours re quired for graduation from four to six before passing the Con vocations proposal and sending it to the faculty. Now, it must pass the Religious Life Committee and the faculty in order to go into effect. The Religious Life Commit tee will meet in special ses sion on November 17. It is imperative that students ex press themselves to the faculty members on the committee prior to this date. (A list of the members of this com- BY JIM PERRY mittee will be posted on the SGA bulletin board.) Otherwise, the faculty committee will be influenced into voting for some thing the students will not tol erate. To pass such a meas ure over student opposition is unwise because it will not settle the problem of chapel at alL It will only make it worse. The students will be revolting again before the ink gets dry. We, the students, will have to endure whatever proposal is adopted. The faculty and administration don’t have to go if they don’t want to, and they usually don’t! Therefore, we intend to be heard. We are concerned about the future of N. C. Wesleyan, We do not want future classes to be sub ject to the type of chapel serv ice which we have so long- endured. The future students whom this pending proposal will affect are not here to speak for themselves; therefore, we must. We want to see im- p' ovement in chapel not a new 1 institution that reiniposes aca demic sanctions on chapel. This is like taking one step forward and two backward. Give us a quality chapel service. Give us speakers v.’ho understand a college com munity. Give us good speakers to complement the music we enjoy from the Chapel Choir. With this improved quality in the service, you will find that students’ attitudes will improve as well. Faculty and students must work together in order to form ulate a workable solution to our problem. It is impera tive, therefore, that the faculty and the administration be keenly aware of student opinion so as to make our task more feasible. MERLE NORMAN Cosmetic Studio TAllRYTOWN MALL Come in for Beauty Tips and Gift Suggestions for Christmas Dance her name last week; 2) The Sorehead of the Week Award for being bitter for two weeks after the mention of her name the last time. This second award will be made bi-weekly after this column. Forewarned is forearmed. Peabody’s landlord is taking too much of his profit so he’s searching for a new spot. We’ve come to the conclu sion that a certain Dry Clean ing establishment in town is in business for fun ... they couldn’t be serious about their work. Rosy is back ... and he didn’t know where he was on Octob er 19th either. As a poiyting note; c’est la guere! Where have all the benches gone? If you are wondering what ever happened to the benches which once adorned our front lawn, the answer lies in the word service. These benches were removed so that they might be repaired and re painted. As soon as the re conditioning process is com plete, they will be returned for your convenience and p leasure. This long needed service to our campus is being performed by APO, Alpha Phi Omega Fra ternity, which is the service frat^^rnity on campus. Wes- leyan’s chapter of APO is com prised of about fifteen active members and a number of life and inactive members. APO is designed as a national broth- e rhood ai med at providing serv ice to individual campuses while giving a degree of social en joyment. Omicron Rho, our chapter, also plans to usher at all three performances of Once Upon A Mattress and to sponsor one of Wesleyan’s newest tra ditions, UMQfJ, the Ugly Man On Campus pon^est.
