Doing His Civic Duty
auomrnca rnoio
Ken Dawkins is first in line Tuesday morning waiting for polls to open at East
Forsyth High School. He arrived there at 5 a.m., an hour and a half before the
doors were opened. Both of Dawkins' parents have passed away. It was in their
memory, he said, he felt compelled to get out of bed and be the first in line to vote
at his precinct.

Future of WFU yearbook is uncertain
Publication has faced controversy in the past
CHRONICLE STAFF REPORT
A committee will evaluate the future of
Wake Forest University's student
yearbook. The Howler.
Kenneth A. Zick, vice presi
dent for student life, has called for
the committee review after nearly
a decade of declining involve
ment of students on the yearbook
staff and declining interest in the
publication.
Two weeks ago, on the rec
ommendation of The Howler
staff, faculty advisor, and the
Wake Forest Media Board treas
urer, the board voted to suspend
production of the 2008-2009
yearbook. Previously, in light of
declining interest and quality, the
Student Budget Advisory
Committee of Student
Government cut The Howler's
budget by $60,000. Student
Uovemment has been faced with an increasing
number of student Organizations vying for funds
that have remained relatively flat over a five
year period.
According to a recent article in The
Economist, many universities are halting the
production of yearbooks, which cost students as
much as $75 to purchase.
In 2003, the school's year
book made national headlines
after it featured an article
questioning why African
American students at the
mostly white university tradi
tionally win the titles of
Homecoming King and
Queen.
The article upset many
students and eventually the
company that publishes the
yearbooks sent out replace
ment pages to replace the one
with the offensive article.
The study committee will
be asked to submit a report by
no later than the end of
February 2009. The report
will be shared with the uni
versity's Student Life Committee, Student
Government, and the Media Board. Students,
faculty, staff, and alumni will be represented on
the committee.
