would have been in the Dunn

“In a separate meeting, repre
sentatives of the Rocky Mount
senior class, the adult degree pro
gram representatives, and the site
directors wanted to continue the
outside ceremonies,” she said.
Andre Clanton, a member of
the class of 1996, said, “I wish
there was no limit, but I under
stand it. It’s logical. If the cer-

emony is inside, some limitations
are needed.” Clanton believes that
things could be worse as he
looked on the brighter side and
remarked, “What if it were out
side and there were limitations?”
Whitener explained that the
college runs five adult degree pro
grams in different locations.
“There will be over 300 people
graduating and the Dunn Center
seats 1,200. If it rains, we will
first seat guests with tickets. We

will seat everyone that we possi
bly can in the Powers Recital Hall
(in the Dunn Center) and set up
folding chairs in the aisle of the
auditorium and in the lobby. This
will only provide 4(X) additional
seats,” she said.
“We will have sound equip
ment, so hopefully those guests
that won’t see the graduation will
get a chance to hear it,” she added.
Senior Kimberly Curseen is
not happy about the arrangement
but understands that the school
will only accommodate what it
can.
“I have about 30 people that
are flying from far away with the
promise that they will get to see
me graduate,” she said. “Without
those 30 people I wouldn’t even
be in school. But there’s nothing
the school can do about it. We
can’t have a wet graduation.”
She suggested that the school
broadcast the ceremony on big
screens and closed-circuit televi
sion sets in the Powers Recital
Hall and the gym.
“This is a very difficult situa
tion,” Whitener said. “I hope the
college will come around to hav
ing two ceremonies. If two cer
emonies are held in one year then
approximately seven guests
would be allowed for each gradu
ate.”
She also said the outdoor
Wesleyan ceremony was “beau
tiful” and noted, “It is one of the
nicest ceremonies anywhere. I
don’t blame folks for wanting to
hang onto it.”
