As editor of the Wayne
Communique, it is my pleasure
to explain what our newspaper
stands for, to whom our news
is directed, and how the Wayne
Communique is of service to
Wayne Community college.
Communique Code: There is
a free spirited theory behind
the Wayne Communique. Our
staff firmly believes in our con
stitutional rights to freedom of
speech and the freedom of the
press. But we also hold true
the right to refuse material
which we feel might stain the
Communique’s character.
No material will be printed
without the examination and
approval of the editor, the
Dean of Students, and/or our
advisors, Mrs- Ward, Miss
Griffith, and Mrs- Reid.
Our Readers: This newspa
per is for everyone in this col
lege: students, teachers, fac
ulty and staff. Any member of
the student body, any teacher,
any member of the faculty or
staff -- anyone is free to con
tribute quality news stories,
features, editorials and ad
vertisements.
The Communique staff does
not wish to be identified as a
separate entity within this col
lege, or as a special group of
students who race around the
campus gathering news. In
stead, we wish everyone tofeel
they are part of a "community
project” where everyone con
tributes something. In fact, we
will be expecting regular con
tributions from the English De
partment. Any high quality
theme, essay, or report will
be more than welcomed.
Service: There is vertually
no limit to the service the
Wayne Communique can ren
der. For example:
Career Opportunity Day
Announced
Wayne Community college
will sponsor a Wayne County
Career Opportunity Day on
Thursday, April 16, 1970, fl'om
10 p. m. or later, if neces
sary, at the National Guard
Armory in Goldsboro.
The local Chamber of Com
merce, the city and county
school superintendents, and
representatives of business and
industry will assist WCC Stu
dent Services personnel in this
endeavor. The purpose of this
function is to acquaint the
Wayne County and Goldsboro
High school students and the
WCC students with the voca
tional and technical opportuni
ties which prevail in this area.
This event is not directed
toward the student aspiring for
a four-year college degree,but
it is meant for those students
who will seek work after high
school or after one or two
years in a vocational or tech
nical institution.
a. If a student or teacher
has books for sale, a car for
sale, anything for sale, he or
she advertises the facts in the
Wayne Communique
b. If a student needs a rotjm
to rent, needs to share the
cost of a room with a room
mate, or needs a regular ride
to and from school, he or she
advertises in the Communique.
c. If the SGA, the Forestry
Club, or any such organization
wishes to announce a meeting,
sponsor a dance, etc., they can
advertise in the Com-nunique.
Furthermore, any impor
tant news flash is immedi
ately relayed to the student
body via a Wayne Communique
special bulletin.
In short, the Wayne Com
munique is the most versatile
method of communication this
college has ever imagined.
Hopefully, the days of writ
ing on the walls at Wayne Com
munity college are gone for
ever. Now we all have the Wayne
Communique.
Delta Chi Omega
Presents “The Eml^rs”
On Friday night, March 6,
1970, Delta Chi Omega made
a dent in success! The
brothers of the fraternity,
through late nights of work and
organization, presented “The
Embers” of Raleigh, N. C., at
the National Guard Armory in
Goldsboro. The “Men of
Music” from “WYNG” serv
ed as the Em’ C’s for the big
event. Over 1,000 people at
tended the dance and evidently
enjoyed themselves. The dance
was a social service project
and with the profits, $500
^was donated to Wayne Com-
unity College’s Student Union
Fund. The Delta Chi Omega
brothers handled ticket sales
at the door and alternated play
ing “soda jerk” at the conces
sion stand. Four of the broth
ers were attending their final
fraternity event. They are:
Marshall Boykin, Doug Burch,
Ronald Wertheim, and Paul
Brown. These members grad
uated at the end of winter
quarter from Wayne Com
munity college-
Delta Chi Omega announced
its new officers including the
pledges that were accepted by
the fraternity to become full
members. TTie new officers
are:
President, David Adams;
vice president, Scott Smith;
secretary, Leslie Garrett;
treasurer, Rodney Barbour.

Triplett, Jack Dixson, Rodney
Barbour, Bobby Okomoto,
George Bell and Patrick Ma-
haney who join the other broth
ers, Butch Richter, David

Bridge the Gaps
Elon College, N. C.—(I. P.)
--A problem common to both
small colleges and large uni
versities is how to bridge the
generation gap and establish
better relations between their
boards of trustees and students.
Elon College, a small liberal
arts institution, thinks it has
found an answer - Elon’s presi
dent, J. Earl Danieley,propos
ed to the board in their annual
meeting that each year a grad
uate from the preceding year
be named to a two-year term
on the board of trustees-
In approving this proposal,
the Board included the stipula
tion that these recent graduates
rank in the top ten percent of
their class and not be allowed
to succeed themselves.
“The members of the Board
are very enthusiastic about this
approach which will provide for
young alumni to serve as trust
ees soon after the completion
of their college work,” com
mented Dr. Danieley in making
the announcement-
The first election will be held
in April, 1970, at which time
a member of the class of 1968
will be elected to a one-year
term and a member of the class
of 1969 will be elected to a
two-year term- In the spring
of 1971, a member of the class
of 1970 will t)e elected to be
gin service on July 1 when the
term of the trustee from the
class of 1968 expires.
This new procedure will not
affect the total number of trust
ees which is 36. The young
alumni will be replacing trust
ees whose terms have expir
ed.
Spilling the Beans
You may be tired of it all.
Our government is a hum bug
of brides and rich old men who
could care less for the people
they represent.
You ask for the right to vote
at age 18, but do you realize
there is more to voting for a
good man than pulling the
lever- A good choice is hard
to make. The result of a bad
choice, and refusal to make
a change is the result of a fall
ing capital.
Experience is a good thing
to have, but God better help
those who are using it for self
fulfillment, to make themselves
rich at the poor fellow’s ex
pense. Bills are being passed
every day to legally aid the
rich man in office, to make him
high in power and fat in the
purse. Can you see the light?
Then spill the beans to your
government when you disagree
or wonder why. It will make
them wonder too.
LINDA PRICE, PERSONALITY OF THE MONTH —
Miss Linda Price has been chosen Personality of the
Month because of her work, her pleasant smile, and
great interest In WCC. She was the SGA treasurer
and did a fine job.
Did You Know that . . .
Seventy-five percent of the
doctors in Russia are women?
Line forms to the right.
Clyde A. Erwin, Jr., Presi
dent of WCC, taught vocational
agriculture before becoming
a school administrator — you
can take Mr. Erwin out of the
country, but you can’t take the
country out of Mr. Erwin.
The WCC library has back
issues of magazines on reels of
microfilm and two microfilm
readers, one of which is a
reader-printer, for student
use?
Ed Nicholson, Dean of Aca
demic Affairs, has a collection
of over six hundred LP
records? We wonder who is
enjoying those records with
Mr. Nicholson.
The Learning Kesource Cen
ter has a Zerox machine for
student use for a nominal fee?
Mrs. Eleanor Powell,Chair
man of the English Department,
rides a bicycle around Walnut
Creek every chance she gets.
How many miles did you say
you had racked-up so far?
Wayne County Courthouse
maintains records dating back
to 1776?
Andy Anderson, Registrar,
collects “matchbook covers”
as a hobby? Mr. Anderson, how
many clubs are represented?
John Hancock was president
of the first Continental Con
gress which made him our first
president before George Wash
ington?
If every WCC student would
pick up one bottle, one can, or
one piece of paper everyday
for one week, we would then
have a beautiful ^'amnnc9
But, What About
The Students?
The only really valid reason
for the existence of Wayne
Community College is to serve
the educational needs and in
terest of her currently enrolled
students and her potential stu
dents. Therefore, it logically
follows that everything we do or
propose to do must hold this
objective foremost.
Whenever we evaluate anon-
growing program or a new pro
posal, I always ask the ques
tion, “But, what alx)ut the stu
dent? How does it affect him,
how will this particular sugges
tion or thought benefit the stu
dent?”
Though try as I may to cast
myself in the roll of the stu
dent, I know full well that it is
not always possible for me to
think exactly like the student.
On numerous occasions, in
formally, I seek the advice and
counsel of students in making
school decisions. However, I
know that only a very small
percentage of the students is
Involved in this type of ap
proach. What we needisamore
formalized system of student
opinion gatherng.
This student newspaper can
serve a most useful purpose in
that it will give all of us the
forum for communication. I
hope that beginning with this
issue and in each succeeding
issue you will always feel free
to express your views and your
thoughts so that all of us can
share in the benefits of our
collective thoughts-
I hope also that every stu
dent in this school will al
ways feel free to come by the
office and give mo the benefit
of your thinking. It is only
though an effective system of
two way communication that
we can build together a col
lege which will for all times
remain a student oriented in
stitution. -- Clyde A. Erwin,
Jr., President, Wayne Com-
