vidual need and what the club
proposes to do with the funds.
Carl Hoskins, who is in charge of
the SGA Budget Committee, said,
“We evaluated every club and or
ganization, their proposal, what
they planned to use it (the funded
money) for, and what the club
had to offer to the students.”
The organizations that were
allotted funds were Dissenter,
Greek Council, Senior Class,
Club Dramatica, Junior Class,
BSA, SNCAE, Bacchus, Cheer
leaders, Lacrosse, Gospel, S.D.
Club, PBL, Black & White Photo
Club, The Decree, Campus Ac
tivity Board (CAB), and Intramu
ral Sports & Recreation (IM-
REC). Three of the organizations
alone were awarded 75 percent
of the allotted money: The De
cree, Campus Activity Board, and
Intramural Sports & Recreation.
CAB, by itself, was awarded
55 percent of the total allotment,
or $21,895. CAB was awarded
this money because they are re
sponsible for bringing in a num
ber of events to Wesleyan cam
pus for the students’ entertain
ment. Not only are they respon
sible for bringing the entertain
ment to the campus, they are re
sponsible for paying that enter
tainment as well as transporta
tion and boarding.
The IM-REC was another big
winner in the hunt for funding.
IM-REC was awarded 11 percent
of the total: $4,500. This was
Staley lecture set
(Continued from Front Page)
Through Staley’s support, lec
turers and programs have been
brought to scores of small,
church-related colleges. North
Carolina Wesleyan among them.
The Staley Lecture is an impor
tant event in the life of the Col
lege, through which we celebrate
our church relatedness and in
which we are engaged in inquiry
about our historic, religious faith.
Wesleyan College is also spon
soring a Pastor’s Workshop in
conjunction with the Staley Lec
ture. Dr. Gaventa will be making
comments on contemporary theo

Asked how her first few weeks
have been as a resident director,

rently trying to become more
knowledgeable about Wesleyan,
she appreciates the good job that
the Student Life and R A staff does
to assist her with her position as
director and student life assistant.
She is impressed by the fresh

trying to figure ways to establish
a better sense of community be

Television needed
North Hall Council is looking for a new television to
replace the one that was stolen last semester. Anyone
willing to donate a television or is willing to sell one at a
cheap price is asked to contact the North Hall Council
President, Michele (Buffy) at 5323.
Any donations will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
$2,100 more and almost twice the
amount they were awarded last
year. With the amount of students
increasing each year, Benny Saint
Romain, the director of IM-REC,
finds himself needing more equip
ment and more programs to keep
up with the needs of the students.
Romain has added three new
sporting programs and a new fit
ness center to his already full
schedule. The three new sports
added are tennis, aerobic classes
twice a week, and cardiovascular
fitness.
When asked about the new
programs Romain replied, “I had
to add new programs to the sched
ule. Participation has increased
dramatically. There is more (stu
dent) participation this year than
there ever has been.”
Romain also said he was re
sponsible for buying equipment
for all of the IM-REC sports —
things like whistles, footballs,
soccer balls, field maintenance
supplies, and prizes for the win
ning students.
The Decree was the last big
winner to receive funding from
the SGA. The Decree was
awarded nine percent, $3,600.
This is actually a decrease in fund
ing from last year. In the fall of
1995 The Decree was awarded
$3,760. The amount of $160 was
cut from The Decree’s budget.
Some clubs were completely
cut from this year’s SGA budget
proposal. Clubs like Student Ra
dio, Student Republicans, psy
chology, and the freshman class
failed to receive any money at all
for the fall 1996 semester.
Get fit.
