“We’re not police officers,
instigators, ‘tattle-tailers’ or mommies
and daddies, we’re students with jobs to
do that must be done-it’s that simple,”
says Taura Hatney, a Wilson Hall
Residence Advisor.
The 1995-1996 Residence Advisory
(RA) Staff is working hard in the
residence halls to make sure that where
you live is a comfortable, quiet and safe
place. If you’re unfamiliar with this
year's RA Staff, their names and where
(hey live are listed below.
Atkins Hall: Kitchawa Roulac,
Nakikia Wilson, Ericka Sneed, Karen
Taylor and Takeba Roulac.
Brown Hall: Carlos Massey, Jamar

Manigualt, and Tiffany McCaskill.
Wilson Hall; Taura Hatney, Tiniki
White, Sean Squire, Carlos Lee, Darren
Hicks, Tara Tate, Ayasha McGhee,
Queyana Woods, Shaka Gibbs and
Kenya Mitchell.
“The RA staff is a combination of
extremely dedicated and active students;
which means that it’s a lot of hard
work,” says first time RA Taura Hatney.
“We’re confronted with various
issues of residence life and once it’s
piled on, it’s piled on thick,” says Shaka
Gibbs.
The R.A.’s are easily accessible in
the residence halls. They provide hall
meetings where they distribute
information, entertain suggestions/ideas,
host in-house activities for the residents
to create unity or ease the tension of
exams, office workers that provide
direction and last but not least, serve as
mentors and keepers of the peace to
ensure that residence life is pleasant for
everyone.
“We are football players, officers in
organizations, band members, off
campus workers, RA’s, and students
too,” says Tiniki White. “It’s the
outgoing personalities that keeps us all
from cracking up.”

CAMPUS HAPPENINGS
Physical Therapy Major
Off to A Great Start
BY DEVONA MCPHATTER
News Editor
Winston Salem State University’s physical therapy program
has captured the eyes of many people across the country.
WSSU is one of only four universities in North Carolina
and the only one in northwest Piedmont region that offers
physical therapy as a major.
The university’s curriculum for a bachelor of science
degree in physical therapy is a five-year program that requires
149 semester hours for completion. The curriculum is divided
into two components: the Pre-Professional Component and the
Professional Component.
The Pre-Professional Component can be completed at an
accredited four-year college or university. It requires that a
minimum of 68 semester hours be successfully completed and a
maximum of 64 hours may be transferred from a two-
year/community college. It also requires that a minimum 2.5
GPA be obtained in order to be eligible for the Professional
Component.
Acceptance into the Professional Component requires a
hand-written autobiographical sketch, verification of sixteen
hours of observation in two or more physical therapy settings
and a personal interview.
The department’s tenure on campus began in May 1993
with 22 students. Entering as juniors, they had completed the
Pre-Professional course work. Five of the students completed
their Pre-Professional stage at WSSU; six are from out of state
and 11 were from other parts of North Carolina.
Dr. Eddie L. Harden, the department’s chairperson, feels
that there are never enough people in physical therapy. This is
due to a small class size and not enough funding to expand the
program. Harden believes that physical therapy is one of the
most competitive careers of the 90s.
The class that entered in May 1993 was the first class of
physical therapy graduates. They graduated in May 1995. The
department is located on the first floor of Pegram Hall.
