Dr. Scales Knows No Boundaries
BY MICHAELL PARKER
Staff Writer
Dedication, understanding, and
wisdom are only a few words that
describe Dr. Manderline Scales, Special
Assistant to the Vice Chancellor of
Student Affairs and Associate Professor
of Spanish and Social Sciences.
Dr. Scales exhibits a sense of warm
devotion to God, and caring that students
as well as faculty and staff seem to cling
to.
Scales, who has been at Winston-
Salem State University for 22 years, is
very concerned about the well-being of
the students. Scales says that students
need higher self-esteem instead of
having the “I can’t do it” attitude.
The lack of community involvement
by WSSU students is a concern of Dr.
Scales. “It doesn’t take alot of money
to help a brother or sister,” says Scales.
“It only takes the ability to share some
time and love. It will make a big

difference especially where our Black
males are concerned.” A graduate of
Spelman College, the University of
Pittsburgh, and University of North
Carolina in Greensboro, Scales stresses
the importance of academic excellence.
She says that the more you learn, the
better your grades will be, and the more
chances you will have for employment.

Encouraging young people to do
their best is what Scales considers to be
most important “I encourage students
to do their best. You always give your
best in everything you do,” says Scales.
Perhaps this attitude is what attracts
students to her. Any day of the week
you can find a number of students in her
office. “I can not understand why
students always come to me,” says
Scales. “Maybe its because I’m
genuinely concerned about the welfare
of the students here.”
Students come to Dr.Scales to take
care of business involving their clubs and
organizations and to discuss any
problems they may be having in school.
However, a lot of students go to Dr.
Scales seeking advice or encouragement.
On student said that Dr. Scales
makes students feel comfortable. No
matter what you say to her, she is always
attentive and caring.
Scales’ colleagues are also
influenced and encouraged by her work.
“Dr. Scales is very easy to work
with,”says Gwendolyn F. Campbell in
the Student Affairs Department “She’s
busy and energetic. Most importantly,
she has an excellent relationship with
the students.”
Scales’ concerns extends to the
community as well. She is a member of
the Forsyth County NAACP, Democratic
Party, the Kiwanis Club, and the
graduate chapter of Delta Sigma Theta
Sorority. She is also the national
president of Women of Achievement and
a member of the trustee board at
Baptist Church in Winston-Salem.
Being heavily involved in numerous
organizations may seem like a lot to
some people but this is only the “tip of
the iceberg” for Manderline Scales.

BY CANDACE MARSHALL
Staff Writer
Roland Watts recently received the
permanent position of the Chair of the
Department of Fine Arts.
Watts, a Winston-Salem State staff
member for 30 years, has held various
positions on the staff. Coordinator of
the Art Program and Chair of the former
Art Department are two other positions
Watts has occupied.
Watts present ambition for the
department is to expand its existing
programs. “I feel the whole department
is in a renaissance, or rebirth,” slated
Watts. He especially would like to
develop the commercial music and a
commercial art programs. The problem
with enlarging these programs is the
limited amount of space available.
Although, Watts has encountered this
problem strengthening current programs
is a principal goal.
“The offerings in the art department
when I first began was only nine hours,he
said. “ It has expanded to 66 hours. That
is a whole lot of growth.”
Watts’ affection for art is obvious
firom his character. The Chairman’s office
is Uned with the artistic work of his
students. “I think it is more impressive
to have students’ work than my own,”
Watts stated.
Watts has received much
recognition for his own work in
woodblock printing. The artist has been
featured in numerous newsj)apers and
pamphlets. In one article Watts
commented, ‘The more I do, the better
I get and that’s the way it should be.
An artist, for that matter, any f)erson
must progress,” he went on to say,
“This appointment is the height of my
career goals.’

The new addition to Hanes Mall
opened on Thursday Oct.4 bringing with
it 55 new stores. More stores were
scheduled to open up at a later date. For
now, Hanes Mall is the largest mall in
North Carolina.
“I suspect that the old part of Hanes
Mall will be more quiet now,” said
Reggie Foster, a junior from Ml Holly.
“Everyone has seen the old part, so a lot
of people come out to explore what they
have added on. The reason that I am
here is to get a job.”
Many students share this same
thought With the expansion of Hanes
Mall, many Winston-Salem State
University students are not just flocking
out to get a look at the new mall, they
are flocking out to find themselves a job.
For most it is the first place to start their
search for a job. Why?
“Because of the expansion, the mall is
so large that there has to be at least one
store that is hiring,” stated the hopeful
Foster.
The atmosphere of the mall also
seems to be an attractive feature for
students looking for jobs. Since the mall
is a place that is frequently visited by
the students, it is never considered a
boring place to work. A student worker
will always see someone that he or she
knows, therefore the monotony of the
job is eliminated.
“The mall is a very popular place
among students,” said Franz Stinson,
who is already employed at Frank and
Stein’s restaurant ‘Two other WSSU
students also work here. I personally
know 13 other students that work at the
mall. There are a lot more that I don’t.”
However, there is no particular
favorite place among students to work.
The number of students in each store
varies greatly. It is estimated by other
students that as many as 50 students have
jobs at the mall. With this number vastly
increasing, many students are thankful
for this new addition to Hanes Mall.
