Patios Are Completed Jerry Komegay, President; Jim Baker, vice-president; and Debbie Evans, treasurer, will serve as SGA officers for this 1971-72 school year. A new secretary will be elected to replace Sandy Mitchell who married in August and will not return. Two new patios on the west side of the Student Union and walkways between the Union and “F” building are ready for student use. Under the leadership of Mike Hanville and Mrs. Nina Powell, Sociology classes 201 has struggled with plans for campus improvement through active participation and cooperation with students, student government, faculty, administration and the community throughout the past academic year. Wayne Community College students have shown that they can be active and responsible in achieving goals which meet their needs by becoming in volved in campus affairs. The project, currently called “Sadie Hawkins Park” - and in need of a new name, began as a study of social movements in Sociology 201 last spring. The class, as a group organized under the leadership of Mike Hanville, Larry Usry and James Holmes worked with other groups on campus to establish a comprehensive landscaping plan for one small area on campus. The area is bounded on the North and South by driveways and parking lots, on the East by the Student Union and on the West by “F” building. The students envisioned a network of walkways in the area as the first step in their plan. The walkways lead to strategic points of student interest: classrooms; the union; bookstore and parking lots. The walks were com pleted during the first sum mer session. The second stage of park development involved design ing and pouring patios ad jacent to the Student Union large enough for outside dances and other forms of recreation. The summer Sociology 201 class was in strumental in achieving this goal. The class project was coordinated by Randall Bryant. He was assisted by Pamela Johnson, Brantly Watkins and Theresa Askew. Other students involved were: Ava Best, Yvonne Best, Marion Boots, Susan Daniel, Larry, McIntyre, Robert Maples, Ghauti Mehidi, Mary Patrick, Richard Sauls, Fred Staten, Sarah Weatherford, Steven Langston, Queen Wiggins, Paula Perkins, Patricia Cinquino, Harry L. Smith, Charles Wright, Fran Etherington, Deborah Tillman, William Mont gomery, Martha Dabbs, Judith Fulghum, Kathryn Komegay, and Curtis Shubert Mike Hanville, student chairman of the building and grounds committee for the Student Government Association, says that he hopes the coming academic year will see the com prehensive landscaping project completed, but massive cooperation of the student body will be needed. Anticipated phases of development include designing and installing irrigation and lighting systems; designing and constructing tables and benches throughout the area; submitting designs for a bandstand and supervising its construction; and finally gathering large quantities of dogwoods and other native plants to be planted during the proper season. When the project is com pleted the students will have a park area which will serve their social, aesthetic, and recreational needs from dances to outdoor dinners. Mrs. Scottle Cox is appointed director of the Learning Resource Center.
