paKf fi Cheryl Edley a Welcome Addition By Tezra Ellis The Wesley Foundation is an organization that was founded at WSSU during the 1986-87 academic year for students who could benefit from a religious organization on campus. Its objective is to provide an opportunity for students,’ faculty, and community residents to grow and mature in faith through counsel, worship service, and fellowship with others. The Wesley Foundation is led by Cheryl Edley, a native of Lynchburg, Va. Edley has a B.A. in Psychology and Sociology from Duke University, as well as an Educa tional Specialists’s Degree from James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Va. It was at James Madison that she learned of the position of Director of Methodist Campus Ministry at WSSU. At the beginn ing of her final year in grad school, she ap plied for and received a Crusade Scholar ship (sponsored by United Methodist Chur ches for minorities in graduate school.) Through the Crusade Scholarship program she was introduced to the “U.S.-2” pro gram. “U.S.-2” is a voluntary missionary program for young adults. It allows a graduate to serve at a school anywhere in the United States for two years. Her tenure here at WSSU will end at the conclusion of the spring semester, however, she will remain at WSSU, maintaining her position with ihe Wesley Foundation as well as counseling students in the counseling center located on the third floor in the Hauser Student Union, Off Broadway Play Delights S.U By Linda IVIcKnight Staff Reporter On February 29, at 8 pm, the Kenneth R. Williams Auditorium of Wiston-Salem Slate University rang out with the sounds of the longest running black off-broadway musical “Mama, I Want To Sing.” The musical was written by Vy Higginsen and Ken Wydro and was under the direction of Rudolph V. Hawkins. The story centered around the main character Doris Winter, a young black daughter of a minister who discovers while in the church that she has a singing talent. When her father dies, Doris decides to strike out on her own to develop this talent. She is faced with many decisions which in clude a non-supportive mother who would rather have Doris develop herself as a singer in the church. Without her mother’s blessings, but with those of Sister Carrie, a friend of the family, Doris sets out to make it big. She does this and returns home to her mother and the church so that they can share in her fame and fortune. The story is told by a radio sta tion disc jockey recapturing the develop ment of Doris Winter as a famous singer. This was a musical well worth its price. The songs and messages in the story had the audience sitting on the edge of their seats as they laughed and cried with the Winter family. Hats off to the Lyceum Committee for br inging this treat to WSSU! 3rd Annual “Lip Sync” is coming!
