Pare 2 THE WESLEYAN DECREE Wednesday, Nov. 21, 1962 Editorials Community Council The goals of the Community Council are impos sible! The Council will never be able to realize its goal of individual honesty and fairness on our cam pus. These are “good” things and such complete goodness is an ideal. How can any movement based on an ideal be effective? Yet, is not Christianity equally ideal? Is it not effective ? The Community Council is striving to create an atmosphere in which this individual honesty is pre valent. Rather than establish laws that guard against human perversion, the Council is seeking to promote belief in and respect for our “Wesleyan Spirit” which assumes that everyone in the communi ty is honest and mature. Can we accept this charge? Are we honest and mature enough to develop our community to this same level? The Community Council stands behind us in this development. Each of us on this campus is a student— staff, faculty and students. We are students of human nature and our learning never ceases. As part of the growing Wesleyan community, we can not only learn more but also use our knowledge in reaching for the ultimate goal of human goodness. Each group has charge of a particular role in establishing our ideal, but we must work together. The Community Council is an important factor in cementing the relationships between students, facul ty, and staff. All groups meet within Council, en deavoring to maintain equality and fairness to each other. Here the three forces become united and their effectiveness is accelerated. If we fail to grow as a whole, our community will cease to be unique in its positive intention of our Bill of Kights. As such a unifying body, the Community Council is responsible to eacn individual. Few of us realize that the Council was established for us. Each of us is entitled and asked to voice his ideas concerning our community, iiy going to the Council with mat ters which we feel would improve the promotion of our ideal, we can be assured that they will be judged and considered and, if need be, passed on to the organization which can act most effectively. If we do not take advantage of this opportunity offered by the Council, we are failing to meet our responsibility as members of the Wesleyan Spirit Movement. The ultimate goal of the Community Council may be impossible to achieve, but the essence of the ideal can be attained. In this the Council will not fail! It will not fail as long as we do not shun our re sponsibility to be mature and honest, to respect our Bill of Kignts, and to endeavor to bind our community together m trust.

Letters printed represent opinions of the individuals and not those of The Decree staff.) Dear Editor, Once upon a time a group of lions got together and had a swingiLig dance around a clear ing in the forest which included a decorated shack and out house. Everyone was having such a good time when a few unwel come guests arrived. Some little bothersome monkeys began throwing coconuts and screech ing as hard as they could. They swung from one Umb to ano ther, giving no consideration to the lions. The parents of these little pests stood around as if nothing was happening. With a few ob vious implications on the part of the lions the parents gather ed their monkeys and left. The moral of the story is that there is a time and place for the attendance of children and a time and place for adults. Let’s keep them straight. Dorcas Moore Dear Editor, Room is limited, to say the least, and we are weU aware of the fact. But after all, our dance space should not be made any smaller by depositing chairs, tables, and other miscellaneous items there when the chapel and assembly area is cleared. May we suggest that the stu dents are very willing to have the chairs left there occasional ly because this does leave some room to dance? But we hope that in the future the other items, including a broken round table, be placed somewhere else. The students are very willing to help in any way to correct this situation. James Vassil Dear Editor, As a student of Edgecombe Dormitory, I wish to make a complaint. My complaint is di rected to the occupants of the Dormitory. What is your pur pose in coming to college? For some of us, it is to study. For others it is evident that they wish only to “have fun” and cause a continual disturbance in the dormitories, thus making it impossible for others to study. True we have a Dormitory Council and we have counselors. True also that they do not do much good. It is quite during the closed study hours of 7:30 until 10:00 but what about those many hours that come after 10:00? From 10:00 til much later on an the wee hours of the morning it is almost impossible to get any studying or sleeping done. I ask, can something be done about this? Even during this examination period that has just passed the noise was just as great. I do not see how many students could have gotten much studying ac complished. Let’s hope that the students, seeing this letter, wiU realize that SOME people do come to college to study and let’s hope also that they will then decide to BE QUIET! AN EDGECOMBE DORMITORY STUDENT Lecture Is Given By DuPont Official The second of a series of lec tures sponsored by the Division of Science of Wesleyan CtoUege was presented Thursday, Nov. 15, at 8 p. m. The speaker was Dr. R. E. Taylor, member of the research division of the E. I. DuPont plant at Kinston. Dr. Taylor spoke on the rediscovery of a long lost and extremely rare mineral.
