Page 4, The News Argus, April, 1982 Students Speak Out... By Marian Anderson On college campuses, a majority of the students have strong feelings about varying issues and topics of interest, of which they sometimes never get a chance to express. This situation exists here at WSSU. Many students discuss campus issues amongst each other and never have the opportunity to be heard. Therefore, The News Argus staff is now featuring a section entitled STUDENTS SPEAK OUT which will appear in each future edition of The News Argus. Hopefully, it will en courage students to write in and ex press their opinions on varying topics without any hesitation. In getting this section underway, this month, five students were picked ran domly to contribute ideas to the paper. Shelia Ettson, a junior art major from Durham, N.C., speaks out on the topic of coed visitation: “Coed visitation of ficially started Tuesday, March 30. Now that we have it, 1 wonder how long it’s going to last! I feel that the rules which we are to use as guidelines were made for kids in junior high. Such things as visiting from 6 p.m. un til 9:55 p.m. and having to leave the door open exactly six inches are stupid! But at least we are getting a little /reerfow-although restricted. 1 assume we’ll have to take one step at a time. Coed visitation is a privilege and 1 hope that no one abuses it. If anyone has any complaints about the rules 1 feel that he/she should take them to the SGA. (Believe it or not that’s what they are there for). I’m taking my com plaints to their office as soon as possi ble. I can’t say how much my opinion is worth but I feel that if everyone were to voice their opinions then maybe we could get some changes made around here.” Michael Brown, a WSSU musician, focuses his views on registration: “Registration is very unorganized. 1 feel that it needs to be handled more promptly and maybe begin in the sum mer. Registration has become a pro blem here at Winston-Salem State and if the faculty and staff members would take considerate attitudes towards the matter, it may be cleared up. Many of the faculty and staff give incorrect in formation to students during registra tion just to get rid of them. Things of this nature tend to discourage and in timidate students. Action needs to be taken against this problems so that registration can become less of a hassle.” Doreen Hall, a senior business ad ministration major shares views on mid-term reports: “1 have not yet understood the significance of the sending home of mid-term slips to parents. If mid-term slips must be sent to our parents then why not send them slips to let them know that we are also making grades other than D’s or F’s? I feel that the student should be the only Travelers on a budget now have an 11 ton ally when it comes to fighting inflation: the bus. For example, travelers can fly from Boston, Mas sachusetts to Jacksonville, Florida for $145 one-way if they’re willing to go mid-week. Thanks to a new “meet or beat” policy, reports Trailways’ Vice President Robert Buschner, travelers can get from Boston to Jacksonville and back for only $118 by bus, a round- trip savings of $172. That big bus, it seems, can be a big help in saving you money. one who receives a mid-term report; after all our parents aren’t taking our classes. Our parents may be paying for the classes, but if a student does not want to do better he/she will not— regardless of what the parent says.” Kimberly Sherrill says: “Although there are many things that we as students would like to change here at WSSU, 1 do not regret coming here. 1 only wish that the student body would unite as one and therefore, keep our in stitution from becoming a predomi nantly white school (The University of North Carolina at Winston-Salem).” Eric Davis, an English major and Charlotte native, speaks on the 1981-83 WSSU Catalog: “At this point in time, Winston-Salem State University is be ing carried through a series of transi tions. The changes that have caught my attention are the physical make-up of the university, the effects of the con sent decree and the positive move to in crease enrollment...all being progresive moves toward the betterment of our in stitution. But I must say as we embark on this climb up the ladder, let us not forget who we are and from where we have come. Let us not forget the total com petency of instructors that will leave us in spite of the many students they fruit fully cultivated. Also, let us not depict a falseness through brochures and catalogs, which may be used to attract new students under what may be con sidered misleading first glance effects. (I am referring to the 1981-83 WSSU Handbook). So in conclusion, I merely leave this note—As we move on up with the Joneses, let’s keep in mind our name and gain our prestige with true face value.” *******For those interested in submit ting entries contact Marian Anderson, advertising manager, at 2nd floor, Dillard Hall, or any member of The There are an estimated 61 varieties of chili peppers in Mexico alone.
