VOL. 5, NO. 4 WIXSTOX-SALEM STATE COLLEGE, WrXSTOX-SALEM, X. C. jrXE 1, 1965 SUCCESS TO CLASS OF 1965 A class of 189 students will be graduated from Winston- Salem State College at 10:30 a.m. Tuesday, June 1. During its four years on campus, this class has done much to distinguish itself. It has presented gifts of intrinsic worth to the campus—a leather covered pulpit Bible as freshmen, magnolia trees and other plants as sophomores, and outstanding photographs as seniors. Class Day was one of the most dignified ever held on any campus. Both the valedictorian, Donaki Benson, and the saluta- torian, Marye Wells, delivered thoughtful, challenging addresses. After this program, the class produced an added feature, a luncheon with a distinguished speaker. Dr. Lewis C. Dowdy, president of A & T College. Commencement will be held Tuesday morning with Dr. De- lyte W. Morris, president of Southern Illinois University, as speaker. This will be a fitting climax to four fruitful and pro ductive years at Winston-Salem State College for the Class of 1965. Mrs. Dorothy Blount, class adviser, is to be congratulated on her work with this class. Dr. Kenneth R. Williams, president of the college, is sentimental toward the class because it arrived when he arrived as president. Class of 19G5, you have enriched the campus with your pres ence. The News Argus knows that you will dignify your alma mater with your achievements in the future. Goodbye. We are happy to have met you.

Rules Announced For Campus Students liy Delois Shaw The Winston-Salem State Col lege administration released an analysis early this month of 16 grievances submitted by the stu dent body in March, following a student protest. This report indicated that school officials made a thorough study of the student protest, which called for intellectual and social improvements on campus. The students also called atten tion to other conditions not con ducive to wholesome living and studying on campus. Grievances submitted were di vided into two areas. The first 15 dealt mainly with general im provements in the areas of food service and preparation, educa tional facilities, library service, educational preparation a n d health service. The second area was mainly concerned with so cial privileges. In the first division of griev ances, a number of definite pro posals were made. The griev ances and administration pro posals in this area were: 1. Better preparation for the National Teachers Examination. Administration proposes to or ganize and set up seminars to better prepare students for the National Teachers Examination. 2. Compulsory vesper attend ance requirement be lifted. Stu dents will be required to attend vesper at the usual 4 p.m. Sun day hour. Vesper must remain at this hour so that students may worship at the church of their choice at 11 a.m. 3. Improvement of educational facilities. This depends on ap propriation of funds by the state legislature. The administration is studying all possibilities for further improvements. 4. Dormitory improvements. Work is underway in the area of maintenance of living quar ters, 5. Efficient janitorial service. Consideration is being made to secure efficient workers. “This is not easy,” 6. Nurse on duty in health center at all time. This can be accomplished only by an in crease in health fees to about $38 more than is now paid. The college would have to employ at least three more nurses. 7. Doctor on duty at all time. Dr, H. Rembert Malloy, school physician, reports that two other local physicians are available for duty when he is not. 8. More intellectual and social activities. Supervised recreation al activities in the city of Win ston-Salem are now available to students in tennis, bowling, swimming and others, 9. More cultural activities. Funds are being appropriated for scheduling more cultural mo vies and entertainment. There will be faculty participation in this area. 10.

Open the library additional hours. The library will be open each Saturday afternoon from 12 noon until 5 p,m. with addi tional help from the faculty and students. 12. Relieve strict punishment. College disciplinary actions must be maintained. Women students who fail to sign out and in will have to be disciplined if valid reasons cannot be given, 13, Improved advisory coun seling, The administration’s goal is to organize better advisory committees. Transcripts will be made available to students to view and discuss. 14, Students assigned to facul ty committees, Alton Barr, Stu dent Council president, appointed Sylvia Long and Horace Webb to work closely with the faculty to discuss and find ways of dealing with student problems. 15, Privilege to return to cam pus after midnight. Students re turning to campus after mid night will not be punished if substantial reasons for their de lay are given. Social privileges were dealt with as follows: 1. Privilege of leaves: Women students are given an extra 30 . minutes on both evening and afternoon leaves. Freshmen wo men with “C” averages are granted an evening leave per week. Students with “B” ave rages and above will have addi tional privileges of leave. 2, Calling hours. All women students will be granted an ex tra minute for entertaining guests. Other privileges that students desire are: 1, Better treatment of male students by dormitory matrons, 2, Privilege to ride in car of one's choice without submitting the name of the driver, 3, Women be allowed to wear pants all day on Saturday. “The college allows women to wear pants all day only in inclement weather,” Dean of Students Ruth Mosby said. Barr in his report to the stu dent body said the student hand book will be revised to include the new appi’oved privileges. The majority of students at tending the meeting expressed attitudes of dissatisfaction with the administration’s proposals. Students said they felt few chan ges had been made. Dean Mosby said the faculty is still studying the grievances and will do all that is possible to help the students and make the campus a better place to study and live.
