PAGE 4 — THE COUGAR CRY, NOVEMBER 11, 1974
PNE Learning
The practical nurse students
are proud to be a part of
Wilkes Community College,
and we certainly have been en
gaged in absorbing a tremen
dous amount of knowledge of
basic nursing care in many
aspects.
The code of ethics is the way
by which all licensed practical
nurses shall govern their lives
and nursing careers. Its pri
mary function is to guide the
nurse in and out of her pro
fession as an individual and as
a nurse.
A small part of the nurse’s
code of ethics is the following:
(1) The licensed practical
shall practice her pro-
the nutritional needs during ill
ness.
We have been learning inter
personal relationships and how
to deal with each patient on an
individual basis.
The human body — normal
structure and function, and the
nature of human growth and
development in the life span
has been a big part of our
studies.
The practical nurse’s goals
are to have the satisfaction of
being needed, of helping the
young to grow strong, the sick
to grow healthy, the well to
stay well, the chronically ill
and the elderly to live to their
fullest capacity. We as prac-
ties, and every practical nurse
needs to know what these
rights and responsibilities are.
There are many opportuni
ties in becoming a licensed
practical nurse. Today the li
censed practical nurse works in
all types of agencies involved
in nursing.
We now have the knowledge
ot the daily needs of the in
dividual and how they can best
be fulfilled to promote health.
The local general hospital is
an important facility for health
care in our community. The
hospital is a business institu
tion and ranks 10 in the busi
ness industry of our country.
The hospital educates health
workers, patients and family,
and provides research pro
grams for the prevention of
disease.
We have learned the basic
knowledge of nursing proced
ures and have practiced many
procedures in the laboratory.
We are now aware of the ef
fects that good and bad nutri
tion can have on health, the
nutritional needs in health and
How Did We Get
Into This Mess?
The Division of Business and
Commerce will offer, during
the Winter Quarter, a new
course entitled Current Busi
ness Problems.
The course, as the title im
plies, will focus on the current
economic situation of the na
tion, in North Carolina, and in
Wilkes County.
One of the first questions the
course will attempt to answer
will be: “How did we get into
the economic mess we’re in?”
Current Business Problems is
a two-credit-hour course sched
uled to meet on Monday after-
noone, 2-3:50 p.m.
Prominent guest speakers
and appropriate films will be
utilized in the course.
Students from all disciplines
are eligible for admission to
the course.

STEPPING OUT
Homecoming will be in Jan
uary, 1975! Would you, the
students of WCC, like to step
out, boogie . . . FORMAL! By
stepping out FORMAL we
mean, coat and tie for men,
dress or dress pant suits for
women. If you would or would
not like a formal affair as de
scribed, voice you opinion to
Coach Linney, John Cashion,
James Mullis, Vickie Bullis, or
any member of Phi Beta Lamb
da, SGA, or the WCC cheer
leaders.
Let us know if you wish to
boogie . . . FORMAL!

of view of a non-connoisseur.
All points are judged on a scale
from 1 (low) to 10 (high).

Blake’s is a beautiful new
restaurant located on Highway
268 (River Road). The main
objection, other than the food,
is that the lights in the dining
area are too glaring. The food
was not good, and if it were
not for the great enthusiasm
and cheerfulness of the staff,
and the super-nice buildings,
Blake’s would have nothing go
ing for it.

Prices .... 6 or 7 (seemed a bit
high, but the quality of the
flounder offset that.)
The College Park is “a clean
well-lighted place.” The de
gree of noise is a little dis
tracting and unpleasant. There
seem to be a hurry up under
current, but this remains my
favorite drop-in place.
PIZZA HUT is brand new
and was visited on opening day.
Please take that into considera
tion.
Tennis Team
Is Defeated
On October 17, the WCC
tennis team was defeated by
the New River Community Col
lege (Dublin, Va.) tennis team.
Of a total of six singles
matches and three doubles, the
Wilkes players won only two
singles matches.
In the first match WCC’s
Steve Woodie defeated Mickey
Hatcher 3-6, 6-3, 6-1. Dave
Bumgarner lost to Larry Man-
non 1-6, 2-6. In the third
singles match New River’s
Roger Banks shut out Wayne
Adams 0-6, 0-6. In the fourth
Skip Province lost to Tab
O’Brien (no score available.)
Charles (Barney) Graham lost
to Loop Price in the fifth 1-6,
6-8 and then came back to
down Mark Moore in the sixth
7-5, 6-3.
The first doubles saw Woodie
and Bumgarner go down to
Hatcher and Mannon 2-6, 3-6.
The second saw Adams and
Frank Shuford lose to Moore
and Banks 6-3, 3-6, 2-6. WCC
dropped the third doubles as
Graham and Dr. Mayer were
defeated by O’Brien and Price
6-7, 3-6.
Jr. High Students
Visit WCC
On Friday, Nov. 1, approxi
mately 100 eighth graders from
Hudson Junior High School
visited WCC to study plant
science. Primary interest cen
tered around a discussion about
horticulture by B. Townes in
the teaching auditorium, fol
lowed by a question and answer
period and a tour of the cam
pus.
Plant propogation, flower
forcing and identification prac
tices were demonstrated in the
greenhouses which stimulated
much interest. The inquisitive
group seemed most interested
in the study of plants as related
to the greenhouse environment.
To top off a v/onderful day a
picnic lunch was held on the
penninsula of the control lake.
The students and accompanying
staff were impressed with the
facilities and atmosphere of
Wilkes Community College.

Prices .... did not seem to be
out of range
Service was extremely slow,
but it seems a little unfair to
make such a judgment as this
was their opening day. How
ever, the Pizza Hut was visited
again three weeks later —
Nothing seemed to have chang
ed.
PISCES is an attractive,
pleasant, cozy, all together,
medium size restaurant where
once stood a dilapidated, run
down beer joint.

Prices very reasonable
The PISCES really is a nice
place. It is apparent that much
money was spent in remodeling
the building and very tasteful
ly so. The service is some
where near perfect and the
food is great. T^ey also don’t
get too upset if you give them
a bad check. More restaurant
reviews next time.
