Tarboro Rest Home
Visited By Students
Plans have been made for stu
dents to visit the Tarboro Rest
Home, making a good will tour
every Saturday afternoon, accord
ing to Marie Fisher, Interfaith
Commission chairman.
Students who visited the home
last week end not only had a won
derful and satisfying experience
but met many elderly people and
laid the cornerstone for lasting
friendships. It was surprising how
much some of them knew about
the “'goings on” out at the new
college near Rocky Mount.
Several of them wanted to know
who and how many Tarboro stu
dents were enrolled at Wesleyan.
Soon the Students realized that they
v/ere the ones that were being
quizzed.
There were some of the most in
teresting people living at the rest
home. Who could ever forget the
biird-like little woman who, very
independently, vowed and declared
that she was not going to church
the next day or any other day.
How about Buck, who seemed to
find humor in everything?
Then there was that sweet little
albsent-minded lady who kept for
getting her age. She thought she
v.'as fifty-two or was it sixty-three?
“You are eighty-four,” comment
ed one of her friends. Whew! The
lady sighed as if with sudden reali
zation.
All in all, this is a trip well
worth any student’s Saturday after
noon. Anyone may come. To make
arrangements see Marie Fisher or
contact any newspaper staff mem
ber.
Much progress toward the re
visions of the Student Government
Constitution was made in a meet
ing of the Constitution Committee
Saturday, Feb. 3. The Committee
will meet again this Friday night,
Feb. 9, in hopes of producing a
rough draft for publication by Feb.
14.
Some time during the Student
Leaders Retreat on Feb. 24, a time
v/ill foe set aside for all students to
come in and discuss the proposed
revisions.
Chairman of the Committee, Vann
Massey, said, “We hope to have an
even more democratic constitution
by the end of this year. We have
learned much from experience this
year in the organization of the SGA
and we feel that this experience
will help us a great deal as we
correct our mistakes.”
The committee invites every stu
dent to discuss their ideas on the
Constitution with members of the
Committee. There will also be an
open discussion on Saturday, Feb.
24. The more progress in develop
ing the kind of Constitution the
students want that can be made
in the committee, the less unneces
sary confusion will result in the
Student Body meeting. The Com
mittee, consisting of Vann Massey,
John Alden, Dicky Moore and Pre-
i sident Thomas Collins will be glad
to discuss with any student his
views on the constitution and listen
to any suggestion or recommenda
tions they have concerning the re
visions.

around campus now, the list for

The lucky 16 who made it this

Edwards, Etta Spivey, Vicki Tay
