Annual SGA Elections Held
BySTEVE DIEHL
Last month marked the
annual elections for Student
Government Association
Officers at Wayne Community
College. TTie new officers will
officially take office im
mediately following an
inaugural banquet which will
be held in the latter part of
May.
Tlie candidates campaigned
through most of the month of
March. Their speeches were
held in the Student Union, and
voting was conducted in the
Student Union Board Room.
Voting results were a little
better this year than in the
past, but a sizeable per
centage of the students failed
to show an interest.
When the votes were count
ed and new officers were
announced, this is the way it
went; Johnny Ray Wiggs -
President; Stephen Byron
Diehl - Vice President; Nancy
Taylor - Secretary; Hazel
Broom - Treasurer.
You should try to become
familiar with your new of
ficers for the year 72-73.
Hiey are all interested in
helping you in any way that
they possibly can. Both Wiggs
and Diehl hav6 made it clear
that they plan to set up “Rap
Sessions”, or open hours, at
which time one of them will be
available to hear complaints,
ideas, or anything you might
wish to talk about. They really
are interested in helping you
and want to make 72-73 the
best year at Wayne. Lets all
work with them and give them

Wayne Coimty. Alton Glenn

department, is 31 years of age.
He graduate from Rosewood
Hi^ School, attended North

Smith is very active on and
off campus. He is a member of

Some of his ideas as stated
in his filing statement should
be very interesting items to-
us.
“I am not running against
anybody or anything; I am
running for the best school
possible for our children I
believe I am a qualified
person to serve. I have been
trained in education. For the
past eight years, I have
walked in a classroom, and
taught students. This give me
an insight of the problems
schools have. If elected I
provise to always put the
diildren of Wayne County first
in my decisions.”
Best wishes from Wayne
Community College.

Note from Staff
This month the staff of the
Wayne Communique has tried
to continue to our ideas and
objection from last month.
You will notice, due to the
short time, hurried dead lines
and lack of help that your
paper has returned to a four
page issue. The effort that was
put forth was done for the
benefit of the students and
would appreciate any com
ment to our approach. Any one
that would like to help with
future issues of the Wayne
Conraiunique please contact
someone on the staff.
Thanks

Job Fair Planned
Plans are being made for a
“Job Fair” to be held on May
11 in the student union. It will
be from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
So far 14 companies have
responded to invitations to
have representatives at the
fair.
The “Job Fair” will give
students that are interested in
jobs a chance to talk with the
representatives from the
companies. Students, are
encouraged by the Dean of
Students Office to participate.
It is to their advantage if they
do so.

Lenesfsky speaks to students and faculty, April 11, on the
foreign policy.
Lenesfsky Speaks
What are your opinions
concerning our foreign policy?
Is ping pong the answer?
David Lenesfsky, foreign
policy analyst, was on hand
April 11 to spe^ to the SGA at
12 o’clock and have a question
and answer period with
students and faculty at 2:00 in
K-7. Mr. Lenesfsky’s
discussion revolved mainly
around China’s admission to
the United Nation and
Taiwan’s resignation from the
United Nation and the affect
both issues had on the United
States and foreign relations.
After his summary of the
world relationships, the floor
was open for question and
answers. The questions were
discussed as follows:
1. Is there more conflict
predicted in the next decade?
More conflict is expected in
the coming decades. The
rising cause of world conflict
are: worldwide television
transmission, the inability of
some countrys to peacefully
change power, and the rising
research in weather control.
Future conflicts could be not
prevented but controlled with
a better fact finding com
mittee, so that the people will
know what is really going on.
The U. N. should set up a
permanent disaster relief
force, and a permanent police
force on constant stand-by of
about 25,000 to keep the peace.
2. Are not separate spheres
of influence developing, such
as Yugaslovia and British
Common Market?
The world is definitely
becoming a uni-polar body.
The soviet’s would not let the
U.N. become involved in any
European Communist con
flicts but they may well
welcome U. N. intervention in
non-European Communist
conflicts. With the admittance
of China to the U. N. the world
is no longer a bi-polar body.
3. What other prospects are
there on keeping peace
besides the proposed would
police?
It has been the custom in the
past to intervene with forces
from member nations. This
has not been very effective,
but it has worked better, than
U. S. unilateral intervention.
It has been proven that if the
peace keeping forces do their
job that a peace settlement is
actually hendered. These
forces separate the opposing
parties and give them no
reason to compromise.
4. China has said she won’t
become a super power or the
first to use nuclear weapons.
How should the U. S. read
these statements?
If the U. S. believes this
pledge we become on the
defensive. The U. S. has come
up with a policy that the U. N.
might except. It reads
something like this:
Each member nation
pledges that they will not be
the first to use nuclear
weapons except for self-
defense or in defense of a non
nuclear country when they are
attacted by a nuclear country
regardless of the wapons used.
5. Would tiie U. N. ever
become involved in the
release of U. S. P.O.W.’s from
North Vietnam?
This would depend on the
new Secretary General of the
U.S. But basicly this is in the
hands of the President.
