The Heart Fund is an
important part of our society.
Through this organization we
may one day find a cure for
heart disease. The Math Club
once again is sponsoring the
Heart Fund Drive here at WCC
this year. The Club will solicit
contributions from the faculty,
staff, and administration.
Also, the Club will be selling
balloons in order to raise
additional funds for the Heart
Fund. Everyone is encouraged
to contribute something
whether it be a quarter or a
dollar to this worthwhile cause
that may one day help us all.

ART CLUB
The WCC Art Club has been
busily planning for the New
York Trip scheduled to take
place from February 24 to
March 3. Twelve people are
participating in this educa
tional trip which will include a
viewing of the world famous
Vatican Collection. The club
has been working enthusias
tically to raise money for this
memorable event with the help
of Bill Nichols who not only
sold several of his prints at the
Boone Mall in December, but
he also sold Valentine
sketches in Thompson Hall
from February 9 till February
14.
The Art Club will also
sponsor an art show around
the middle of March. All WCC
students interested should
register with Lola Knox in the
Technical Arts Building by
March 7. There is a two dollar
fee for the first entry and one
dollar for each additional
entry by the same artist.

From The
President
The things we most value in
life are those we attain
through hard work — the
dreams become reality
because we want them badly
enough. A few months back,
our community decided it
needed a community center.
To some, it may have seemed
out of reach for a community of
our size, but the people began
pledging their money and
moral support toward a
common goal.
Recently, our Board of
Trustees and Endowment
Corporation announced that
construction will begin
immediately on the John A.
Walker Community Center. In
about 12 months, a beautiful
auditorium — convention
center — management
training complex will sit on
the hill adjacent to the
Technical Arts Building.
The community center will
mean much more than just a
building on campus. Civic and
community groups will have
an ideal place to conduct their
activities. Local business and
industry will become stronger
and more profitable through
specialized training conducted
at the center. Our local fine
arts groups will finally have
an adequate facility in which
to present their talents. Wilkes
County will become a regular
stop for touring national
attractions. The list goes on
but they all mean one thing —
our community will become a
better place to live.
Nearly 1500 individuals
have contributed to the John
A. Walker Community Center
so far. The majority of these
are working people who are
giving from their hard-earned
pay checks. WCC students
conducted fund-raising
activities and donated the
proceeds to the cause. Our
corporate citizens came
through with generous
donations. We have over 96-
percent of our $2.1 million goal
without one cent of state or
federal money.
Wilkes Community College
is proud to be a part of a
community which could
visualize a goal like the John
A. Walker Community Center
and then be willing to work to
get it. We will always value the
building as a tangible example
of community spirit.

hoop action. Concessions will

For Immediate Release:
^‘Financial Aid Now Available
From Private Donor
Students in need of financial
aid for next fall should begin
now to apply for the thousands
of scholarships being offered
by private foundations, trade
and civic groups and other
sources.
There are over 25,000
different scholarships
available, according to the
director of The Scholarship
Bank. Scholarships are
available from tax exempt
foundations that are required
by law to make a certain
amount of financial aid
available each year in order to
maintain their tax-exempt
status.
The Scholarship Bank
matches students with
available aid and sends the
student a print-out of the
private financial aid sources
that appear to be most
promising for that student.
Each student may receive up
to 50 sources of aid. Most
scholarships have a value of
approximately $1,000, and
many are renewable annually.
Financial need is only one of
several criteria to receive aid.
According to The Scholarship
Bank, major in college,
occupational goal, geographic
preference, military service of
the student or his parent,
employer, union membership,
academic standing, ethnic
heritage, and whether the
student is interested in work-
study, loans, essay contests
and the like all determine
eligibility for aid.
Students wishing to receive
a print-out should send a
stamped, business-size self
addressed envelope to The
Scholarship Bank, 10100
Santa Monica Blvd., #750, Los
Angeles, CA. 90067. A
questionnaire for the student to
fill out describing him/herself
will be sent back to the student
and the applicant then can
receive the personalized
information.
From The Dean Of Curriculum
Programs
Spring brings the expecta
tion of new growth in nature.
We look forward to warmer
weather, and graduation.
Our campus will be busier
than usual this year with the
construction of the John A.
Walker Community Center
soon to begin.
The various curriculum
departments have provided a
comprehensive spring sched
ule to meet the needs of our
students throughout the
service area.
The scheduling process for
curriculum programs is a
function of the department
chairpersons who solicit input
from individual instructors.
Basic schedules are composed
of the courses in the college
catalog on a quarterly basis.
Non-required special
interest courses and seminars
are scheduled on a request
basis, students having
an interest in a particular
course should make it known
to Student Services who will
put the student in touch with
the right department. When
sufficient interest exists, the
course will be offered.
Evening students through
out the service area have an
opportunity, during the
quarter, to make their requests
known to the evening director.
Lifelong learning is a
concept that the community
college is ideally suited to
support. We strive to make this
concept a reality to all people
in our area by comprehensive
scheduling and services. This
spring we will offer free
childcare to our on-campus
evening students as a service
to those who might not be able
to attend class otherwise.
Interested students should
inquire at the student services
office.
