Illl Itll . ttfl Illl t -im aijHi ^ 4 WSSU students taking time out for friendly conversation Pride in WSSU A Student Editorial Have you really looked at our campus lately and seen it through the eyes of a visitor? Some of the buildings are old and need renovating. This campus needs money and attention from a physical standpoint as well as from an academic viewpoint. These things we as students can’t do much about except wait and see what the great powers at HEW and the Board of Governors of the University System decide to do. There are, however, things we can do. We can stay informed as to the day-to-day progress being made, by reading the newspa pers and listening to the news. We can write letters to the powers letting them know the needs as we see them. The most important thing we can do is make our campus look like it is populated by students who take pride in themselves and their school. As you walk to your classes today make it a point to notice the junk lying in the gutters, under the bushes and along the walks, h are people paid to keep the grounds clean and they work hard, but they can’t keep up with us. All it takes is one careless person after a visit to McDonalds to ruin the appearance of a whole area of the campus. Aside from the aesthetic standpoint, trash, out of its place, has other negative ef fects. One is that it attracts all sorts of undesirable pests such as, flies and wasps, and worst of all, Rats! Rats are seldom seen so we think they aren’t there, but the latest estimate is that there is a rat for every person in America... a very good reason to discard trash in the proper place. Another negative aspect of litter is the psychological effect it has on one. At firstj^it’s maddening; then one begins to not see it and it becomes almost invisible and then ac ceptable. When it becomes acceptable, one has lost some part of his pride and self-re spect. Ideally students should have enough pride and self-re spect not to litter—however, this won’t happen because there are people who will always be sloppy! That is why it’s necessary for the rest of us to be just a little more responsible. WSSU is going to be more and more in the public eye now that HEW is looking into the State University System’s problems and needs. The fu ture of the University System will be decided in the next few months. Important and influ ential people will be looking at WSSU and making decisions, especially concerning funds which will be allocated to this University. First impressions are impor tant. Questions will be asked: How do the students feel about their school and cam pus? Are they proud of it and themselves? You may say, “What the heck! It doesn’t really concern me. I’ll be long gone from here in one, two, or three years. What do I care?” The point is you should care be cause the reputation of the school from which you gradu ate will follow you for the rest of your life. Each time you fill out a job application, you are asked ‘which university did you attend?’ Even in conversa tion, the question always comes up. And finally, even in your Obituary, more than likely your University will be named. It does concern you. Those of us who care have to make up for those who don’t. Strangely enough, car ing is often as contagious as not caring. When litter-bugs are made aware of what they’re * doing, chances are they will think twice before littering the next time. Nu merous methods have been used in other places and probably on this campus to discourage littering, such as posters, signs and contests between individuals, clubs and societies. The thing that is most effective is peer pressure and example. If students are seen picking up litter and taking pride in their surroundings, others may join in and help. Picking up litter is also good exercise—great for the waist line! When these important people visit our campus and see the old buildings which need money and attention when they see the Chancellor’s house which needs more work than it’s probably worth when they see that our profes sors and instructors are paid about the lowest salaries in the country—let them also see that the students take pride in themselves and their campus and deserve the very best!
