Students Asked: What Should
Be Done With The Fountain?
By DALE ADAMS
What would you have done
with four miscalculated cor
nerstones made for the roof of a
building, say for example, the
Hamlin Student Center? Well,
with the imagination of the
Greeks of ’67 and the manpower
of Jones Construction Company,
you could have built a fountain!
Had the construction of the
Student Center gone according
to plan, the space in front of the
Center could very well be empty.
But through the ingenuity of
At
The
Center
several Greek organizations, our
fountain was completed in 1968.
Today, the Campus
Beautification Committee is
trying to decide what to do with
the fountain. Due to problems
with water volume and leakage,
it has not been operating this
year. According to Mr. Lee
Moore, Superintendent of
Buildings and Grounds, this tj?pe
of problem is not new. It seems
that there has always been some
type of problem witt inadequate
water pressure. If the fountain is
to remain in working order,
several adjustments will be
necessary. The Beautification
Committee has considered
several alternatives, among
which is the idea of transforming
the fountain into a planter. The
Collegiate, at the request of the
committee, asked several
students to voice their opinions
on the matter. If these students
are representative of the whole,
it seems that the student body
stands united: they want the
fountain to stay.
The following individuals were
enough to state their
kind
opinion.
Jeff Webb: “I’d like for the
fountain to stay in some form.
It’s a point of attention on the
campus. It could be improved; it
is kind of plain as it is.”
Mike Joyner: “We should keep
it, but it shouldn’t be empty.”
Debra Johnson: “I want it left
where it is. It’s somewhere for
students to gather and talk,
especially in the spring.”
Nita Parker: “I think they
should cut it on, if people
wouldn’t abuse it. I definitely
think that it should stay, but it
should be used.”
Debra Lane: “It should stay; I
don’t think they should turn it
into a planter.”
Mike Sawyer: “It’s called a
fountain therefore it should
serve as a fountain. If there are
problems that limit its use as a
fountain, they should be
corrected. If there is concern
about abuse, all fountains are
abused. Our fountain should
serve as a fountain. I don’t think
they should turn it into a planter.
Then it would really be abused.
The Greeks gift should be
rpQnpoted ”
Ray Silverthorne: “I’d like to
see it running without soap suds.
It should be larger, have more
jets, and be lighted at night. It
would be nice if they could put
some rock pebbles in the bottom.
I’d like to know how they’re
going to keep it clean.”
All members of the
Beautification Committee have
shown great interest in obtaining
student opinion on this matter.
They would welcome yours. Dr.
Graham heads this committee
and is concerned about the
student’s wishes. He and others
on the committee would like to
hear from you. Perhaps they will
not be able to comply with all
wishes such as Ron Morton s
who suggested “a nude Greek
statute that sprays water” or G.
Todd’s, who suggested that they
“put in a few sharks, but it is
certain that the committee will
do their best to please the
majority of the students.

Dr. Wenger Suffers Heart Attack

Art Students Visit New York
The third annual Art Department trip to New York City
began on Wednesday, February 9 when four art faculty mem
bers and twenty students left Atlantic Christian at 5:30 a.m.
Stopping in Washington, D.C., the group visited the Hirschorn
Museum, the National Gallery of Art, and the Phillips Collec
tion. Tired but excited, they reached New York City around 9:00
p.m.
On Thursday, informal groups went to the Metropolitan and
Guggenheim Museums and to private galleries. Groups went to
the Frick Collection, the Museum of Modern Art, the Cloisters,
and to China Town on Friday. Some went to the Brooklyn
Museum by subway on Saturday, then on to Greenwich Village,
and later to the Rockefeller Center for ice skating. Before
leaving New York, some saw the play “Godspell,” the movie “A
Star is Born, ’ the Empire State Building, Times Square, St.
Patrick's Cathedral, the Rockefeller Center, and many stores
and shops (and delis).
On the fifth day of the trip, the group left the Big Apple at 9:30
a.m. for the Philadelphia Museum of Art. After 485 miles, the
weary but enlightened and inspired artists arrived back in
Wilson around 11:00 p.m. Sunday.
