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's topic was
"characteristics gained
from membership in PBL and
how membership will help
the individual in the
business world." 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.

event. King took the speech
textbook he had used at WCC

tion would occur.

Cinninati, Ohio, at the PBL
