Students Speak Out! If you could change one thing on the campus of Winston-Salem State, what would it be? I Mia Dayon, 18, Freshman from Trenton, NJ., major Nursing. "I would change the policy against co-ed visitation, because 1 feel that as college students, we are and should be at the point in our lives where we are able to act accor dingly and maturely, enough so to handle and accept the responsibility of co-ed visita tion.” Enrichment Center Offers Many Free Services To Students By Shelton Bullard The Enrichment Center which is located in room 204 of the Hall-Patterson Com munications Building is a learning resource lab. The purpose of the center is to enhance and expand a student’s knowledge. The hours of the Center are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday-Friday. The center is equipped with audio visual material, audio tapes, slides, filmstrips, sound pages, programmed texts of college level study material and many more educa tional materials. These materials may be used by the student or the instructor. The center is also able to assist the han dicapped and visually impaired students, with such materials as a variable speed tape recorder, a “talking calculator, dic tionary and encyclopedia.” WSSU students are also able to practice a foreign language, and practice or record an oral presentations. Students may also learn the content of a complete course. Aaron Orr, 20, Junior, Charlotte, N.C., Music Education major. “If I could change one thing about our campus, it would be the quality of food we are served in the cafe. I feel that for the money we pay to attend this school, we should get a bigger and better selection.” Materials on such standardize test such as the SAT, ACT, or the College Level Ex amination Program (CLEF) are also available in the center for student use. The Enrichment Center also has student tutors in math, biology, chemistry, accoun ting, Fresh. Composition, American History. Black History, and World Civiliza tion. Students wanting to use the tutorial service need to first make an appointment. The times of the tutorial sessions are posted in the center. Another area of the center is the Graphics Lab located on the third floor of the Com munications Building. In the Graphics Lab students will find the necessary materials and supplies to prepare posters, charts, laminations and dry mounting projects. The student must come to the Enrichment Center first before going to the Graphics Lab. There is no charge for the use of the Lab, but there is a charge for consumable items. The Enrichment Center is staffed with people who are concerned with a student’s academic needs. The Director of the Enrichment Center, Mrs. Maurice Johnson, is one of these peo ple. Mrs. Johnson sav;, “In the past years 4!; percent of students have come to use the center’s facilities.” But she is “worried about the other 52 percent that do not use the center.” Maurice Mayfield, 20, Junior, Warrenton, N.C., Political Science/Public Administra tion major. “I would include more activities for the student body as a whole to participate in, not just one particular group or organiza tion getting together, but the entire Winston-Salem State University family.” Mrs Johnson says, "It takes more exer tion on the part of the students to take ad vantage of the services available to them m the center." “It is not an area of remediation. It should be utilized by those who want to forge ahead,” explained Mrs. Johnson concerning the center’s purpose. Paula Vinson, 18, Freshman, Burlington, NC., Major Business Education. “I would change the hours of the grill. I think they should be open longer to cater to the student body.” Several students have asked “it the Enrichment Center’s hours could be ex panded?” By expanding the hours student- usage of the center might increase. Accor ding to Mrs. Johnson this question is in the process of being answered. However, students should take advantage of the ’free’ services rendered by the center.
