8 WCC CAMPUS VOICE MAY 23. 1988 WCC revives campus newspaper by Staff Members For the first time in 13 years Wayne Community College has published a campus newspaper. The effort began when the Student Government Association created a Communications Committee in the fall of 1987. Through out the fall quarter, members of this committee and other students interested in reviving a campus newspaper met weekly. In the winter quarter instructor Liz Meador worked at three newspapers as a participant in the Back to Industry Program. She learned all aspects of newspaper production so that she could teach these journalistic skills to students. In the spring quarter the Liberal Arts Department offered for the first time an Introduction to Journalism course. Only five students took this course: Angie Ballard, Yvonne Crespo, Renee Hill, Martha O'Neal, and ViNita Warren. The entire student body partiticated in the selec tion of a name for the newspaper. After the votes were tallied, "The WCC Campus Voice" was the most popular choice. Because of the tireless efforts of the journalism class and its instructor Liz Meador, again WCC has a campus newspaper. This project would not have been possible without the help and expertise of the Media Production Department. The staff would like to give special tharJcs to Betty Wellons, who assisted with layout; Grace Lutz, who helped with ads and head lines; Mike Futrell, who developed and printed the photographs; and Malcolm Shearin, who instructed the journalism students in the use of the camera, took many of the photographs and developed and printed the ^ photographs. "The WCC Campus Voice" is printed at the Mount Olive Printing Company. The "Voice" staff extends its appreciation to Leonard Teachey and his staff for their advice and their assistance with the publi cation. The "Voice" staff also thanks Nelson Mitchell in the Advertising Department of the "Goldsboro News- Argus" for his advice about ad costs. The "Voice" staff is also grateful to Micah Harris and Tom Gurganus, both from East Carolina University, who explained the comic strip process and shared samples of their art with the journalism class. Don King, 1987 graduate of Wayne Community College (WCC), has won first place in impromptu speaking at a Phi Beta Lambda state competition. A junior at East Carolina University, King has been a member of Phi Beta Lambda (PBL), an organization for business majors, for one year. King attributes his success to a public speak ing class with Ed Potter, speech instructor at WCC; he said also his participation in clubs while he was at WCC helped him feel comfortable speaking before a group.

King had ten minutes to jot down three main points on 3 X 5 cards and then plan his "attention-getting opener," all strategies he learned from Mr. Potter, he said.

The publication of a student newspaper represents a significant accomplishment which promises to be of great value not only to the students on the newspaper staff, but also to the institution as a whole. The students in English 161, Introduction to Journal ism, have exerted great efforts and devoted long hours to this publication. In the process, they have learned first-hand the skills of gathering, reporting and printing important information. Now the entire college has access to the information gathered by the newspaper staff. For the first time in over a decade, Wayne Community College has its own vehicle for news items, features and articles of interest to faculty, staff and students. On behalf of the entire college, I commend the news paper staff for their accomplishment and wish them every success in their future publications.
