Open Letter
We Need Your Help
Are you a mature, stable,
open-minded person eigh
teen years of age or older,
and willing to give a very
small portion of your time for
the sake of another indivi
dual? If you are, then the
City of Winston-Salem-
Forsyth Covmty Court Sy
stem needs your help.
The brothers of Phi Beta
Sigma Fraternity, Inc. and a
small number of citizens
from the surrounding area
' are participating in a court
volunteers program in For
syth Covmty. The program is
imder the supervision of Ms.
Becky Eagles who is the
Co-ordinator of the volimteer
program. Volunteers work
along with other probation
officers from Forsyth Co.
One volimteer will work
with one offender for a
speicific period of time in an
effort to help him to
establish a lifestyle which
will enable him to become a
productive member of socie
ty. The volunteer helps
supplement the work of the
court and each volimteer
works under the direct
guidance of a regular
►t Probation officer or Juvenile
Court Counselor, but he
carries substantial responsi
bility for the supervision of
the individual assigned to
him.
Volunteers establish and
maintain weekly personal
contact with the probationer
in order to become aware of
the probate’s needs which
could be met through other
community resources.
Volunteers try to seize
opportunities to aid the
individual in meeting every
day problems and crises as
well as serve as a mediator
and facilitator of opportuni
ties for the individual.
Volunteers attend work
shops and meetings arrang
ed to meet the needs of the
volunteers, and they also
attend a pre-service training
session before being assign
ed a juvenile or first
offender. The pre-service
orientation is a two-evening
session lastint two and a half
hours. Additional in-service
sessions are held throughout
the year during which time
various topics and problems
are discussed.
If you have ever had
previous work experience
with young people as a
counselor or any related
field, or if you have not, but
Commentaries.
wish to do your part to aid
your fellow man, community
and most of all yourself, and
enjoy working with and
relating to young people, we
need you!
The brothers of Phi Beta
Sigma would like to see more
students from Winston-
Salem State University and
especially all members of
fraternities and sororities aid
this community through
volunteering to help lead a
young person in the right
direction and help them deal
with everyday problems and
to become better people. WE
NEED YOUR HELP?

Coping With Energy Crisis
In compliance with Gover
nor Hunt’s recent request for
energy conservation, the
thermostats in the buildings
and dormitories were turned
back to 60°, effective
February 8th.
This cutback will be in
effect until Chancellor Wil
liams receives word that the
crisis is over and our state
fuel reserves are back to a
safe level.
When students were
asked how they felt about the
heat cutback, there were
numerous attitudes stem
ming from the need to cancel
classes because it is too cold,
to taking a spring break
early, and closing down the
University for two weeks.
Many students just but
toned up and said, “There’s
nothing that we can do about
this.”

Tlie NEWS ABGUS is a (tadent pnblicaiion of Winston-Salem State University.
Hw contents are the sole lesponsibilitjr of its students.
Siudents seem to be
preparing for the worst with
their efforts to keep warm
during those drastic nights
when the temperature drops
to 32°F or lower. They are
acquiring more blankets and
even using small inexpen
sive electric heaters.
During the end of the
week that thermostats were
lowered, students seemed to
have adapted, to the
temperature change, espe
cially in the daytime when
the temperature outside was
pleasing if not pleasant as
compared to what they were
getting.
Before the heat was
turned down in the buildings
on campus, students moved
around quickly to get from
the dormitory to the cafeteria
or to a classroom where they
would be warm again, but
that trend has changed
considerably in the past few
weeks. When the building
you are entering is the same
temperature as outside, and
in some instances even
colder, who wants to rush.
You seem to have adjusted
to the situation at hjind
rather quickly and seem to
be going about your work of
becoming a more educated
individual with good inten
tions. The major adjustment
to be made, is that of the
cold nights and mornings.
Keep your coats on and your
minds in the right direction,
and remember that spring is
near, and hopefully it will
bring warmer weather.

A Look Behind Women’s Sports
There is a growing interest developing in the young ladies
here at Winston Salem State. They are now participatmg m
the sports once set aside for the men only. The News Argus
staff decided to do a little research on the regulations set up
for schools to govern by. t *
The question most asked by students was Can I get an
athletic scholarship?” WeU after talking to Coach Games we
find there are no scholarships available to women nor to
“men”. Here at W.S.S.U. we have what is known as athletic
aid. This aid works h£md in hand with the financial aid
department. After they have given all the funds available to
any other student the athletic department completes the
package so that the student will not have to pay any money.
The next question was “What determines which sports
will have a ladies team?” WeU as in all other phases of
educational procedures there are certain guidelines that
determine the answer to this question. Each school must
provide equal athletic opportunity for members of both
sexes, including establishing women’s teams in which men’s
teams’ exist. If there happens not to be enough interest to
make up separate teams, women must be allowed to try out
for the men’s teams so long as it does not involve actual
contact. Such sports would be golf, tennis and swinuning.
These are the sports that W.S.S.U. encourages their young
ladies to try out for. The ladies are placed according to their
skills just as the men are.
Separate teams for contact sports, if they wished to be
played, must be formed, if enough women show interest. ^
determining whether a school provided equal athletic
opportunity the regulations HEW could take into account are
(1) whether the sports sponsored by the school accomodated
the interests and abilities of both sexes, (2) provision of
equipment and supplies, (3) scheduling of games and
practices, (4) travel and per diem expenses (5) coaching and
academic tutoring, (6) provision of locker rooms, practice
and playing facilities, (7) medical, training, housing and
dining facilities and f8) pubUcity.
You see it is mandatory that there be enough interest
shown in the students to get a particular sport.
So Lady Rams we do have equal opp>ortunities to
participate in the athletic department of our school. 'The
stipulations are set up for the benefit and well being of all
ladies. So Rams support the fair ladies of our school.
