could have been “hectic” but

students’ help.
By NANCY DAVIS
Plans to continue the Sadie
Hawkins Park area between F
building and the student union
were undertaken by Mrs. N.
Powell’s fall quarter sociology
students about the fifth week
of classes. These plans were to
add trees and shrubbery to the
park in an organized manner
and to install a suitable
sprinkler system.
The first plans of having a
“plant-in” to improve the
landscape were discussed the
sixth of October, 1971. The
injitial act in preparing for the

headed this committee and
together they drew up .a
questionaire to pass out tO;
everyone possible for them to '
fill out. This poll was effective
in giving the class an idea of
the school’s support.
Statistics acquired by the
survey were based upon four
hundred forty five par
ticipants. Ninety-three per
cent agreed that further
landscaping the area would be
an improvement and ninety-
two per cent believed it could
be accomplished through
student effort.
After the school’s
agreement, as shown by the
survey, that the project was
worthwhile, the different steps
to be done were established
and a date for the official
“plant-in” was set for
November 6, 1971. Several
committees were organized to
systematically carry out these
steps. A sprinkler system had
to be arranged to water the
plants. Fred Simmons drew
up a plan for this system and it
was accepted by the class. The
other steps to be done were: to
dig holes, to get sawdust and
peat , moss, to locate
a^gwoods, and to plant the
trees.^.9khese steps were
carrieift bttt effectively and in
an orggnted^anner.
A eotiple week-ends
befoM^the “li^t-in” was to
take placsfi some members of
the class met to dig fioles and
prepare for the ,final and
climatic step.. Jan Stewart
arranged for food to be
brouglii for ttiose who helped
and sevwal girls helped by
twinging food and fixing "it for
the workers.
On October 21, several
people helped in staking for
the dogwoods. Among these
were; Greg Wilder, Tommy
Allen, Fred Simmons, Ron
Jones, Robert Perry, and
Robert Stephens. The
following Saturday the “hole-
diggers” included Allan
Johnson, Tommy Allen, Fred
Simmons, Howard Michaels,
Don Cameron, and Jan
Stewart. Ed Holt and Tony
Tart brought in sawdust
October 28th, and Clarence
Williams saw about the top-
soil.
Some of the heavy work
preceeding the actual “plant-
in”, like unloading the dirt
from the dump truck, was
taken care of by John Barden,
Thomas Kilpatrick, and
Robert Perry. Along with all
this work, Doreann Smith and
Thomas Kilpatrick arranged
to get a large sign up to
promote the project and to stir
interest for the project.
The final step, “plant-in
day,” was a big success. To
highlight all the hard work
and make it all seem even
more worthwhile, a party was
held the evening following the
afternoon of sincere work. The
females handled the food,
while the males furnished the
drinks. Donations to the
project came from Mc
Donald’s, Sears, B. B.
Glasscock, Roy Woodard and
the SGA.

was given the opportunity to
sponsor the Blood 'Mobile
December 8 from 10:00 a.m. to
3:30 p.m. in the Student Union.
Each Christmas the Blood
Mobile seeks blood donors.
During the holidays many
lives are lost because they are
sometimes uanble to receive
blood of their own type. When
one gives one pint of his own
blood, he knows that he is
saving somebody’s life.
This year Wayne Com
munity College set up a new
method for blood donors. Each
blood donor chose a club on
campus that he wanted to
represent. The club that had
the most blood donors
received a prize. Also, the
blood donors can now be 18
years of age or over to give

the college for their warm
hospitality. Pettine is from the
