THE VOICE OF WILKES COMMUNITY COLLEGE VOLUMK 8, NO. 7 WII.KKSBORO, NORTH CAROLINA MAY 10. 1978 Spring Fling Sprouting I m dont > THIS CHICKEN HAS A PROBLEM IN COMMON WITH SOME OF OUR GRADUATES Does The Contemplative, Bearded, Southern Appalachian Mountain Man Still Exist? MARY R. SHEW Well, it’s that time again! The bees are buzzing, the birds are singing, and the flowers are blooming. It’s time for the yearly Spring Fling! This is a special fun-filled occasion that has been happening for several years at Wilkes Community College. It gives the students a chance to become involved in someting more than books and studies and the ringing of class bells. It breaks the monotony of the Spring quarter. Carousel On Tap At W.C.C. Another fine Rogers & Hamm- erstein Musical brought to the area by the Symphony Guild and the Wilkes Community College Theater. The production will run the 5th & 6th and the 10th thru 13th. The performance on the 5th is reserved for Symphony Guild season ticket holders. The public opening performance on the 6th will be signed for the deaf. All performances start at 8 o’clock. This is a show for the whole family. Tickets will cost $3.00 for non-students and $2.00 for students. Jerry Bangle, Sandy Smalling, and Bud Mayes have collaborated to make this a memorable production. The story line involves a charming vagabond, a naive and trusting girl, a restive and lonely teenage girl, some solid respecta ble people and some not so solid and respectible people. All these characters are involved in some highly unusual ways. The Spring Fling will be held on Friday, May 12, on the college lawn. In the event of rain, the festivities will probably be moved indoors, but this not official. The Spring Fling is sponsored by the SGA at a cost of approximately eight hundred dollars, but it’s free to the students—so enjoy! The activities are many, and varied. The biggie will be the “Battle of The Bands.” There will be six bands competing. They will begin playing when classes end at 11:00, and continue playing the rest of the day. Other events will include the Frisbee distance throw, the 100 yard dash, a Horse-shoe tournament, a sack race, a Volleyball tournament, Foos Ball, and Ping Pong. The Phi Beta Lambda will be selling ice cream, and the Circle K will be selling Hamburgers and Hot Dogs. Don’t miss this chance for a relaxing, enjoyable, fun-filled day! Refusal Of Petition There has been a lot of talk as to why David Maine’s petition for SGA President was not accepted. In the first place, the deadline for petitions was Friday, April 14. All petitions would have been accepted any time before Friday. David’s petition was not turned in until Monday. If the SGA had accepted David’s petition, the entire process of signing petitions would have had to been done over. This would also cause a delay in elections. In the SGA constitution it states that elections must take place the last two weeks in April and before the SGA convention, which is May 3. David was told of these facts and agreed that in all fairness he could not run.

A drop in center or crash place on campus. A place where a teacher can have a cold, smoke cigarettes, and admit to drinking beer. A student would lay down or even catch a nap. There are no old buildings on this campus with little nooks an crannies to hide in. Wouldn’t it be nice if the folks who plan things put some private places in their plans.
