Prevette Speaks Out
Power to the SGA shall be
our cry. After the last student
week-end, I can safely say we
the students at W.C.C. have
embarked on a new era of
campus involvement.
It is only right-to thank Rick
Hall and his committee for the
cookout and the rock concert.
Also, Sigma Tau Sigma and
Delta Chi Omega for the work
they did for the student ac
tivity committee, in helping
prepare food.
We had asked for your co
operation in participation in
S.G.A. functions and you gave
it to us. We now have a leg to
stand on. We can now support
new ideas with your actions.
You have shown the ad
ministration you are and can
behave like adults. Thank you
for your help in the past and
we implore you to help us
make the future great for
W.C.C. and you.

Why Student Unrest
To what can student unrest
and disorder be attributed?
In Reader’s Digest, S. T.
Hayakawa puts it this way “In
seeking the cause of student
unrest, I believe that we have
not paid enough attention to
the degree to which many
young men and women are
involuntary and restless
captives of the educational
system.”
Many young people are
forced into “higher
Mer.cy-Killing
Mercy-killing—is it right or
wrong?
This practice is formally
called euthanasia which
means “the act of killing in
dividuals that are hopelessly
sick or injured, for reasons of
mercy.”
When a person is alive but
not really living, isn’t itTbetter
to go ahead and end his life?
People dying from cancer or
other terminal diseases suffer
unnecessarily. In this way,
killing them would be the fair
thing to do.
On the other hand, maybe
by a “miracle” they could
really live again. If their lives
had been ended, the chance
would have been taken from
them.
Is living worth the
prolongation, the pain, and the
suffering? Miracles do not
happen often.
If the person can think for
himself, he should be given the
opportunity to decide. If the
person is nothing more than a
“vegetable” and never will be
anything else, what is the
point of keeping him alive?
Some people view mercy
killing as murder, but is it not
the humane thing to do? BB

education” whether or not
they need or want it. And, once
there many become restless
but are obligated to stay.
Tliese youth are trapped.
In this situation they
become bored. New ad
ventures must be found. As
the article states, “the bored
student is social dynamite.”
Students are looking for a.
way out. They are now young
adults and are tired of being
treated as children. They want
‘real’ problems to cope with,
not just set-up situations in a
classroom.
To those who really want to
learn, college is real—not a
new playpen adventure. They
are preparing for their chosen
irofessions.
Force causes unhappiness.
When unhappy, a person will
speak out and rebel, often
times for a want of challenge
and recognition. BB
Mechanics
Displays
Tools
The mechanical vocations
class instructed by Mr. Paul
Bright and Mrs. Manley
Outlaw have designed a
display containing tools and
other articles completed by
the class. These tools are
mounted on a large plaque
covered with red velveteen.
Also, made by the students is
a large black frame that adds
finishing touches to the fine
pieces of work.
Students first receive a
sheet containing directions,
and then they are turned loose
to get to work. Contrary to
having pre-cut steel bars, they
start from scratch, and work
their way up. Beautiful work
has come from these studetns,
including everything from
solid steel hammers to sturdy
combs.
The display board can be
seen in the mechanical
Vocations Department.
On Man
By BERNIE HOUCHINS
A man fears only those who
have feared him. His likeness
to those he adores yet bitterly
detests.
People have given him a
reason but robbed his dreams,
■nie platform from which to
spring is built, yet now he’s
afraid to make the leap.
His life molded on pettiness
and pity, neither of which
were ever known to him. Love
and hate, government and
rule if there is such. But he
goes on, acting the part which
is expected.
His loneliness and mind are
known only to him. He yearns
for distant unknowns never to
be reached. He knows his
plight but has lost his
willingness to fight.
The challenge is sought but
never to be feared. Life is but
living death with limits and
bounds. He can no longer be
but must survive.
Society has ruled, yet of
fered an escape. To him its
death, to, others a new life.
Surrounded by fraud and
deceit, he tries to carry on but
only in actor’s clothes.
Jesus Christ Alive And Well In Goldsboro
By GARY SMITH
Can it be?
The following wanted
posters appeared in Time
magazine June, 1971.
“WANTED” Jesus Christ
ALIAS; THE MESSIAH,
THE SON OF GOD, KING OF
KINGS, LORD OF LORDS,
PRINCE OF PEACE, ETC.
Notorious leader of an
underground liberation
movement.
Wanted for the following
charges: practicing medicine,
winemaking, and food
distribution without a license.
Interfering with
businessmen in the temple.
Associating with known
criminals, radicals, sub
versive prostitutes and street
people.
Claiming to have authority,
to make people into God’s
children.
APPEARANCE: Typical
hippie type-long hair, beard,
robe, sandals.
Hangs around slum areas:
few rich friends, often sneaks
out into the desert.
BEWARE: this man is
extremely dangerous, his
insidiously inflamatory
message is particularly
dangerous to young people
who haven’t been taught to
ignore him yet. He dianges
people and claims to set them
free.”
In New York City, at
Manhatten’s Mark Hellinger
Theatre, Jesus Christ
Superstar opened in a
Holocast of disapproval,
critics say, “Superstar closes
with Christ’s death,
Christianity opens with
Christ’s ressurection from the
dead.”
From mass baptisms on the
beaches of California, to
bewildered parents all over
the east coast whose children
are starting to study the Bible,
it’s plain to see that something
strange is happening. Jesus is
living up to what the Bible
says about him. The great
liberator is setting people
free. And most exciting of all
is that he wants to know each
of us personally.
You’ve got a lot to live,
Jesus has a lotto give. Each of
us has to make a personal
decision one way or the other.
Think about it and live.
Class Goes To Tarboro
(Monday, October 25,)
mechanical vocations com
bined with the welding class
went on a field trip. After
waiting twenty minutes to get
across the highway, the bus
was finally on its way. Their
destination was BLACK and
DECKER tool company, in
Tarboro. None of the travelers
knew what was going to be in
store for them that day.
While coming to an iipmediate
halt, smoke began to smother
the entire area. After
everyone hurriedly scam
pered from the bus, they were
to soon find out it was only
leaky brake fluid.
After the excitment ended
the bus safely arrived at
BLACK and DECKER
MANUFACTURING COM
PANY one hour late! Mr.
Doug Tfiylor, personnel
supervisor, introduced the
classes to the company in a
training room and afterwards,
took them on a grand tour of
the entire company. After a
toief question-answer period,
the students were on their way
to lunch at Hardees’. After
Levi Hicks finished his lunch
the group returned to WCC.
Friday, October 29, Sigma
Tau Sigma took on a task that
was different from any other
project completed this
quarter. The fraternity
washed the Goldsboro Police
Cars. The action took place
behind the student union. The
cars were cleaned not only on
the outside but on the inside
also. The following men
helped in washing the cars.
They are Eddie Lane, Gary
Dozier, Steve Meadows,
Dennis Holloman, Jimmy
Whitehurst, Mike Hairr, A1
Newman, Bill Hommond,
Gene Harrelson, Jerry Raper,
Darryl Kilpatrick, Andy
Massengill, Ricky Sanderson,
Gerald Renfrow, and Harold
Tyson.
This is only one of the
successful projects completed
by Sigma Tau Sigma.
Get Involved
By ROSEMARY McCULLEN
Feel like you want to do
something? Then get out and
support an issue or project.
I There is a tendency to take a
back seat when there is a task
to be done. Don’t let this be
you! We often hear, “I don’t
have time.” Maybe you are a
busy person but somewhere in
your crowded life you should
be able to find an hour to make
your school a better place.
We often hear someone say
“Let them do it, they control
the campus.” Tliis statement
wouldn’t be true if ^ou would
help out. Sure there are a few
that take most of the credit,
but the fact is that we have a
job to do and there is no one to
do it. If you don’t like to see a
few take the credit, then
contribute your time and be in
the “spotlight”.
WCC will be to you what you
make it. If there is no student
involvement, there isn’t much
of a school. Of course it takes
an administration and a
faculty, but the most im
portant part of WCC is the
students. So Students, make
your contribution and give a
portion of your time.
Honor Council Buses At W. C. C.
Recognizing that students in
vocational, technical, and
college areas of study should
be treated as adults, the
Wayne Community College
and The Student Government
Association have the duty to
set forth certain areas of
prohibited conduct and
student rights. The college
does not undertake to punish
for violations of state, f^eral,
or local law, but will make all
efforts to protect the rights of
all students to pursue their
study. Any infringement of
these rights will not be con
doned.
The following acts are
prohibited. They are
plagiarism, lying, stealing,
abusive, obscene, and ex
cessively noisy conduct,
malicious or unwarranted
destruction of property.
Others include: idle threats,
violation of parking rules,
hazing of any kind, in
terference with activities of
the College, failing to appear
before the Honor CouncU, the
possession of or use of
alcoholic beverages, nar
cotics, or hallucinogenic
drugs, knowingly passing a
worthless check.
If these acts are broken a
student may be expelled from
school for varying periods of
time with the information put
on your college transcripts.
Tliese procedures may be
open to the student body or
closed ufwn the individual
students request.
Representatives from
W.C.C., Donna Bolinski and
Jerry Komegay, upon the
request and invitation of the
Goldsboro area Chamber of
Commerce, have been meet
ing with the Chamber in order
to establish a better line of
communication between
young people in Goldsboro and
the city business. At the meet
ings, city business as well as
topics of interest to W.C.C.
students are discussed.
To better serve W.C.C.
students, it was suggested that
the city buses servicing the
college make their stop back
of A building instead of in
front of it. This was suggested
so that students can become
aware that the service exists
and can familiarize them
selves with the bus sdiedule.
In the near future, students on
campus should be able to see
the buses stopping behind the
administration building.
These buses will be labeled
with their destination rather
than just their route number,
another suggestion put forth
by W.C.C. representatives.
Also, to curb the extensive
shoplifting problem here in
the city, a program, coor
dinated by a committee of Phi
Theta Kappa members in
conjunction with a committee
of Chamber members, is in
the process of being initiated.
Throu^ sudi meetings and
programs, the Chamber of
Commerce hopes to establish
an interrelationship with
young Goldsboro citizens,
serve the college students in
anyway possible, and con
sequently, involve young
people in community affairs.
