The Right To Vote
If you’re ever in Grand
Central Station (that is, the
secretary’s office in K build
ing) you will undoubtedly
notice an impecably neat,
attractive secretary named
Mary Saunders typing madly
away at her desk, answering
the telephone with a bright but
soft “Good morning, K build
ing,” or running off a “rush
job” needed before the hour is
up. She could very well be
doing all three at once. From
8-4 p.m. Monday through
Friday, K building’s executive
secretary manages, referees
and cajoles each day to its
close — while she prepares
herself for the morrow.
Mary’s tasks are en-
numerable — making coffee
for the faculty every morning,
typing, running off and
assembling tests, forms,
letters and hand-out sheets,
talung messages up and down
the stairs, and generally
making sure each day in K
building glides by as smoothly
as possible. With the aid of her
office cohort Virginia Whaley
and a work study student here
and there, somehow the sun
sets without crises. But the
Q1I/VI d(? ^Qm
rush is on at 8 a.m. sharp the
next morning. Through it all.
Mary keeps a cool head and a
ready willingness to help.
Students ask her volumes of
questions a day and she
^ways responds in the same
friendly way, even if it’s only
the 32nd time that same
question has been asked. After
seven years at WCC, Mary’s
used to it.
She came to WCC as an Air
Force wife in November of
1965, where she worked part
time at first. Eventually she
was hired as a full time em
ployee and was transferred
from A building to B building
and finally to K ljuilding
(taking time out to have two
children-Hope, 8 years old,
and Manira, 3.)
One of the most significant
observations is the delightful
relationship she has with the
faculty. In fact, Mary has
nothing but praise for the
teachers she works with. She
says, “I love working here for
them. They are all so nice.”
The teachers, in turn, rank
Mary their most valuable
teammate.

Again!
Sigma Tau Sigma has done
it again. The brothers aided by
Alpha Pi Epsilon, gave a
Christmas party for the
Special Education students
from Eastend Elementary
School which was a big suc
cess. They are planning
another cook-out for the
children in the Spring.
January 6, 1972 pledge
period began for 14 “rough
and ready” pledges. After a
long rugged month of pledg
ing, February 3, twelve new
Brothers were inducted to
make a total membership of
thirty-one Brothers. During
pledge period the pledges
sponsored a car wash. The
toothers and pledges also
show their terrific school
spirit at ttie home basketball
games.
Plans are now being made
for other service projects in
the Spring. Also coming is the
Azalea Festival that everyone
is looking forward to.
The Brothers regret that
they will lose Bemie Houchins
and Gary Dozier this quarter.
Their active [>articipation in
the fraternity has helped the
brothers through many
hardships.

Associate Degree Nursing
Students in their red, white,
and blue uniforms have
become a familiar site at
Wayne Memorial Hospital. It
iias been stated that they will
be remembered for their
patriotic attire, if nothing
else!
Seriously, slowly and surely
the group is gaining the
respect of a lot of people. As
with all new programs, people
are apiH'ehensive until the
students have proved their
abilities. The Associate
Degree Students have spent
many hours studying and
working since they began the
program in the fall. Now their
efforts are being rewarded by
the feeling of accomplishment
they get from doing things
right.
The students have worked at
Oak Manor rest home, Wayne
Memorial Hospital, Ob
stetricians’ private offices,
and have visited the Eastern
North Carolina Sanatwium.

With the new age limit for
voting in effect, college
students are able to play a
much more active role in
politics. Not only are they able
to hold rallies, participate in
campaigns, hand out buttons
and bumper stickers — all of
which are important of
course, but the responsibilities
of actually putting our
governing iwdies into office
lies partly on their shoulders
too. There will be a much
greater percentage of eligible
people who could vote this
^ar than there has ever been
in the past. Please note, I said,
“Eligible people who could vote
this year”!!!! !Now think
about that for a minute. — We
screamed, we yelled, we
demonstrated, and generally
raised a lot of hell trying to get
the eighteen year-old voter
rights bill passed! Well, we’ve
got it now so lets do something
about it. Having the right to
vote, and actually voting are
two different things. If you
cared enough to fight for the
right, please care enough to do
something about it!! Get out
and register so when the
elections come you will be
able to support the things you
believe in. Registration will
end on April 17, and anyone
who hasn’t registered by then
evidently is not interested in
the type of government we
have. With residency
requirements being lowered to
three months for local elec
tions, and the state only
requiring one year residence,
practically all college
students should be eligible to
register and vote.
Registration facilities were
made available at Wayne
Community College this
month. Posters were put up
long beforehand so the
students would be well in
formed, announcements were
made, and the whole thing
took place in the student union
— despite all of the
arrangements, approximately
10 per cent of the student body
was all that bothered to
register. By looking through
the student union from the
registration table, you could
tell that most people were tied
with much more important
things, such as their cup of
coffee, their daily joke, their
game of cards, and of course
their favorite song!!! If by
chance you fall in the lagging
90 per cent, I think you should
re-evaluate your priorities
and beat the deadline. If not,
don’t be one to complain when
the votes have been counted
and the results announced —
you could have done
something to change it!!!!
