Edgar Boyd Tournament
at host college Pitt
Community.
The team has won 4
of its last 5 games
with a roster of 10
players from an initial
16 who began the
season.
The season
highlight, Britton
said, was playing
against Chowan Junior
College, ranked eighth
in the nation in the
National Junior College
Athletic Association
division.
The Bisons made a
creditable showing,
losing 105-67 and 105-
79.
Britton said one
purpose of the team is
to give players just
out of high school an
opportunity to gain
experience on the
court.
The Bisons play 12
other schools, each
team twice. One
school, Reinhardt
College from Georgia,
travels to WCC.

In 1982, Wayne
Community College
installed its first
Prime computer.
Eleven years later
the college has
installed a new, bigger
and faster Prime.
While the machine is
valued at $200,000, the
college saved on costs
by trading in the old
Prime.
The new Prime has
several components
including a central
processing unit, a tape
drive, a disk drive,
and modems which allow
communication with the
libraries of the other
57 community colleges
in the state through
electronic mail.
Since 1982, 125
computers have been
added to the college's
inventory.
During the Christmas
break, while the
student body was busy
enjoying the holidays,
Information Systems
personnel were busy
installing 34 new
microcomputers in
business department
classrooms, necessi
tating a name change in
typing classes, now
called keyboarding.
The Information
Systems Department
includes Kenneth
Whichard, Director;
Cindy Stephens,
Assistant System
Administrator; and
Teresa Carr and Martin
Sanzone, part-time
assistants.
