Page 3 THE VOICE November, 1980 SGA’s Business Manager Mr. James “J.W.” Wright, Jr. is the new Business Manager for the Student Government Association. He is a rising senior and his hometown is Rocky Mount, N.C. “J.W.” is majoring in English/non-teaching and he was president of the junior class. Hecan be heard daily on th vibes of WFSS- FM. Mr. Wright is a very en thusiastic individual. After he was unanimously elected as Business Manager, I was more than delighted to in terview him. The following is an account of my inter view with Mr. James “J.W.” Wright, Jr. Voice: What activities does your office plan to imple ment for the upcoming school year? Wright: We’re in the process now of forming several committees. Some com mittees that I am responsible for are the entertainment committee and the home coming committee. I’m re sponsible for making sure these committees are formed and have their by laws set. In addition to tradi tional activities, we plan to have more entertainment. Voice: In addition to mana ging the Student Govern ment’s budget, how do you plan to become actively involved in other student matt9rs? Wright: In my speech^ I stated that I would like to be instrumental in keeping the students abreast of what’s happening around the campus. I would like to work as a mediator to the president and bring back ideas from the students so we can deal with them pro perly. I would also like to be instrumental in keeping the students informed through the media (WFSS). I plan to start a Favetteville State University newscast about what is happening inside the student government. Voice: Will the students be able to have some know ledge about the budget that is allocated to the S.G.A.? Wright: I think they (the students) should have some knowledge as to how much we have in the budget and how we plan to spend it. The officials in the SGA have many ideas as to how to spend the money. We will work cooperatively in deciding how to spend the money educationally, etc. Voice: Are there any special projects that you hope to establish whils serving as Business Manager? Wright: In addition to the student government news cast, I would like to establish several projects. As you know, this past semester I was instrumental in starting “The Essenceof Glide”. This was a program that was held on April 19. It was designed to pull out the various talents of our stu dents. I would also like to establish a talk show that will be similar to a forum. The idea behind this pro gram is to have the students and adminsitrators commu nicate about the activities on this campus. In addition, I would like for us to open the year up with a “boom”. My idea is to have a big concert. Voice: Please give your overall view of Fayetteville State University. For example: student life, academic standings, etc. Black novelist Award in Ralph 1 952 Ellison won for The the National Book Invisible Man. Wright: I feel the students at Fayetteville State Univer sity are capable of doing a lot more than they have in the past. I feel that what has happened is that we have had a change in tradition. I think the morale Of the stu dents needs to be enhanced and some pride needs to be restored. When we enhance the morale of the students and they become convinced about the things they can do, I feel that we can go all the way. Voice: What do you hope to accomplish as Business Manager of the Student Government Association? Wright: I hope to accomplish the fact that I’ve done my job and to come up with ideas that can improve Fayetteville State University. I plan to work cooperatively with Mr. Merritt and keep an accurate account of the student government’s bud get. I’m notayes man. Ifthe money is not being spent properly or if the proposed activities are not favorable for the students, I won’t agree to them. If 1 don’t agree to them and there is confusion, I will bring them to the students. The Voice Working COiE QUITS Natalie Cole is a cigarette smoker.
