S.G.A. Dance
Makes History
SGA officers announced this
week that the trial open door
policy, implemented ex
perimentally at a recent
dance, has been termed a
success and will be continued
in the future.
According to John Prevette,
Chairman of the SGA Student
Activities Committee, both
attendence and conduct at the
October 22 dance were
commendable.
Prevette commented, “We
were well pleased with the
outcome of the SGA function.
In spite of rainy weather and
two competing homecomings,
we had great participation.”
According to Prevette,
approximately 40 percent of
the Wayne Community
College student body attended
the dance which featured Bill
Deal and the Rhondells.
The new open door policy, in
effect at this dance for the
first time, was formulated
during recent weeks through
the cooperative efforts of the
Wayne Community
College Student Government
Association and the college
administration.
The new policy allows
students to determine policy
and police all student
government functions. Prior
to the adoption of the new
policy, all policy matters and
police duties at student
government functions were
determined by the college
administration.
Prevette said that prac
tically all students are pleased
with the new policy which
allows them to assume
responsibility for their own
conduct. Prevette stated, “I
believe that freedom and
responsibility go hand in hand.
If the students at Wayne are to
become responsible members
of the community they must
begin by accepting the
challenge of being responsible
for their own actions now. I
think this new student activity
policy signifies an increasing
student sense of responsibility
on our campus.”
Prevette added, “I also
believe we will be able to look
back a year or two from now
and see this move as one of the
first steps toward an active,
aware and responsible student
body.”
Student government of
ficials report that Bill Deal
and the Rondells were well
received by the student body
and that many students have
requested that the band be
invited to play on campus
again.
One SGA member has in
dicated that several members
of the student organization are
investigating the possibility of
having the Rondells back in
the spring.
The next Student Govern
ment Association dance,
scheduled for late November,
is currently being planned.
Students who have
suggestions for this dance, or
for other student activities,
have been requested to con
tact any member of the
student activities committee.
Prevette, chairman of the
committee, observed, “We
are eager for all students to
become involved in student
activity functions and in all
functions of the Student
Government Association.

for this dance.
Members of both frater
nities, Sgma Tau Sigma and
Delta Chi Omega, aided in the
work of the project.

the Pepsi Cola Bottling
Company of Goldsboro.
Members of the Student Union
Committee aided, in preparing
drinks for the Student body.
After the cook-out, “BIT
CH” performed in the Student
Union to top off the afternoon.
Since the afternoon was
such a success, more cook-
outs will hopefully be
scheduled. Help and
cooperation from the student
body is needed for this to be
possible.
Thanks to all the students
who helped make this af
ternoon a success.

the national FFA convention
held in Kansas City, October
11-15.

ern Wayne High School and is

Library Too Noisy
Recently there has been too
much noise in the Library.
Students have been com
plaining that they cannot
study because of the loud
noises. Remember to keep in
mind that the Library is a
place of study and the Student
Union or elsewhere can be
used for socializing.
New Annuals
New! Different! Better! All
of these terms describe the
proposed 1972 yearbook — if it
can be called that at all. The
yearbook has been changed to
a magazine type publication.
According to Jean Edgerton
and Danny Nicely, co-editors,
this book will consist only of
action shots of students as
they really are on and off
campus.
All 17 staff members, along
with Jerry Kirby from the
media, have become
photographers. Pictures are
being taken any place and
anytime. So beware you may
be snapped next.
Visiting Artist
Discusses Sessions
“It is like sitting up all night
in the dorm and talking things
out,” says Miss Virginia Raad
of her weekly talk sessions at
W.C.C. The topic for these
informal discussions is art
appreciation. However, one
such session started with
architecture and Frank Lloyd
Wright, went on to William
Buckley and Senator Byrd of
West Virginia, and closed with
a debate on “What is Liberal
Arts?”
Miss Radd graduated from
Wellesley College and spent
several years studying music
in Paris.
She is both an outstanding
lecturer and listener. She
obviously enjoys the company
of students and is genuinely
interested in their opinions.
Miss Raad deplores the fact
that people find no time to get
involved in the Arts because
they are so involved in the
MISS VIRGINIA RAAD
mechanics of making a living.
Her sessions provide the
students with an opportunity
for relaxation and good
conversation over coffee or
coke.
She will be here every Tues
day between 11 and 12 o’clock
(in the board room of A
building.)
Drama Discontinued
Because of lack of support
from the right people, Wayne
Community College no longer
has the drama department
which produced such plays as
Joan of Arc. The drama in
terest was once centered in a
small group of dedicated
people mostly from the
community. These people
worked hard at giving of
themselves, their talents, and
their time. Everything
possible was tried to stimulate
interest in drama but the lack
of money and moral support
hamper^ their progress. The
drama department ended
because they got tired of
always giving and getting
nothing.
