Page 2 Housing Hassle By It’s that time of the year once again, the time most students dread! It’s the time of the year that puts parents in more of an uproar than students. What is this dreaded time? What is this game we all hate to play? It’s the housing scramble! Finding a place to live on campus is just as hard as finding an apartment. Last spr ing many students left school, not sure what their accomodations would be for the follow ing semester. There were also in-coming freshmen, who had no idea where they would be housed. It is a known fact to the students at Winston-Salem State, that hous ing has always been a hassle. This is a new year, and most students feel they should not have lo compete with housing problems anymore. What procedures will be used to change the bad opinions of students toward Residence Life? After interviewing our Housing Director, Michael Sutton, “I feel confident with this year’s housing procedure.” Instead of choosing your own room, the Dormitory Supervisor will accommodate your living space. You, on the other hand, might con sider this as not being fair, but it is fair, fast, and can be very effective if students cooperate. Mr. Sutton stated, “that the pro cedure will be on a first come, first serve basis, so students need to pay their deposits, in order to be granted a room.” Last year Senior female students who liv ed on campus felt they were cheated. Why'’ Because, they all thought of going to Dillard Hall as being a honor and they also felt they should not have had to share with underclassmen. Next year, classmates will not be mixed. Dillard will be for seniors on ly, Moore Hall will be reserved for juniors, sophomores will be housed in Pegram and part of Colson Hall. Mr. Sutton feels students enjoy being with their own classmates and are able to get along better. Then, you may ask, “Suppose I want to room with a friend who is not a classmate?” This will not be possible, although if your friend is within you class it is as simple as paying your housing deposit together. As always, there are students who will look for off-campus housing. Is this a cheaper route, and who should live “off the yard?” Mr. Sutton feels that living off cam pus is more expensive, because it is not stable like dormitory living. While living on campus, you have no bills, and you don’t have to worry about being evicted! There are some students who should live off cam pus, students who can not deal with school policies and students who desire privacy, your next step is finding an apartment! Also this year Residence Life has been in vestigating apartments in the Winston area, and are leaving approval stickers at Ihe homes which are better for their students. Since this is a new year, maybe Residence Life will also be new and will advance in their new procedures. We as students should be pleased with their determination to make our stay on campus easier and ef fective, as well as enjoyable. Let’s all cooperate and come out with better living arrangements for the next year and more years to come.

Those who prefer to play cards, i.e. tunk, gin rummy, spades and poker instead of reading and studying African history are actually playing an African game. What do cards represent? If you are playing the game with a little knowledge you will see: —52 cards in the deck, these represent the 52 weeks of the year. —12 face cards, these are the months of the year. —13 cards in a suit, these are the luna tions of the moon. —The 4 suits represent the 4 seasons of the earth—as it goes from winter, summer, spring, and fall. —The total face value of the cards coun ting the jack as 11, the queen as 12, and hte king as 13 represents 364 days plus the magent 1,234 equals 365.234 days of the year. The length of each side on the square base of the Great Pyramid of Giza built by Khufur (Cheops) is equal to 365 >/4Cubics. This is equal to the total days of the year. Hence, the ancient Africans knew how many days it took for the earth to make a complete rotation and revolution around the sun. This information comes from a book by John Smalls called Nuggets from King Solomon’s Mine. History Society Meets By Carter Cue For many it was a homecoming of sorts. Former students and teachers of segregated Forsyth County schools reminisced about the old days. These teachers and students vividly recalled guests at the K.R, Williams Auditorium on February 14th, their days at schools with names like Street School and Depot Street School. The program entitled “Early Perspectives of Black Educations in Winston-Salem/Forsyth County was spon sored by the Society for the Study of Afro- American History in Winston- Salem/Forsyth County. James T. Diggs, Jr. a former graduate and instructor in ihe Art Department pointed out to those present that the auditorium in which they now sat was once the location of his elementary school-- Columbia Heights. Diggs also gave everyone a brief history of Ihe founding of Slater Industrial Academy to the preseiii day WSSU. The president of the society is WSSU pro fessor Dr. William Rice. Rice said he was sorry more students could not attend. Wesley Foundation Goes On Retreat By Carter Cue Make a joyful noise unto the Lord. This was the theme of the State Student Con ference for Methodist and Presbyterian students held at Camp Thunderbird in Charlotte N.C. on February 5 thru 7. The 200 students in attendance came from the various colleges and universities in N.C Five students from the WSSU Wesley Foun dation, which is the methodist campus ministry attended the three day conference The conference speaker was Don Shockley, the chaplain of Emory University in Atlanta Georgia. Shockley encouraged students to believe in themselves and to do the work of God at any level they happened to reach in life. Also, the WSSU Wesley Foundation sent 4 students to St. Louis, Missouri over the Christmas break to Jubilee. Jubilee was a national student conference sponsored by the United States Methodist Church. The 4 people that made the 15 hour bus ride to St. Louis with other students from North Carolina were Cheryl Edley (Campus Minister), Bennie Carver, Dawn Hand, and Carter Cue. The large contingent of 700 people includ ed Asians, Hispanics, Native Americans, Africans, and African-Americans. The con ference provided those in attendance the means to erase all biases and a culturally pluralistic understanding of God. One of the highlights of the conference was the spirit filled message given by Bishop Leontyne Kelly; one of the only Black females in the upper echelons of the United Methodist Church, Bishop Kelly was featured in a recent article in Ebony Magazine.
