Wednesday, Sei>t. 18, 1963 THE WESLEYAN DECREE Page 3 John Hines Welcomes Students To Wesleyan ‘The student government at Wesleyan has been keejMng its pace in activities with the steady- physical growth of the college. All four classes will be repre sented for the first time this year. The enlarged Senate, con sisting of representatives from each class, wUl have more bene fit to the student because of the greater number to speak out on) issueis. This expansion of your Senate to fuU representation wilL enable your leaders to carry on;' the democratic process. “The Judicial branch of the Student Government Association w'ill haave to be enlarged due to » the increase in dormitories. Planning for an inter-dormitory council is already underway. Dormitory elections are close at hand, and capable leaders are needed to insure an effective judiciary. “The Executive Council will be making miajor decisions on policies to be carried out by the students with Senate approval. It will also be the purpose of this council to keep in close contact with the various' commissions and class officers, seeing that each part of the student govern ment structure is being efficient ly carried out. “Each officer, like myself, wants the student to speak out on any issue that might arise. If the student is not content with his representative, who will be speaking for him, then by prior appointment, this person may appear before the Senate to air his or her viewpoint. “Each student is welcome to come to the Senate meetings, for they are all open. However, in order to prevent any chaotic conditions, a student must have an appointment to speak. “Speaking for aE the Student Government Asisociation offi cers, I urge you to contact your class representatives for any ideas you may have to improve your student government. Only through your interest can Wes leyan achieve a Student Govern ment Association of which you can be proud. “Your representative for the Senior class is Gary Garlow; the Junior Class, BiU Hartley; and the Sophomore Class, Steve Cherry. The freshmen class wiU elect officers in the near future.” John W. Hines, President, Student Government Association, Meet The Officers Of Student Government JOHN HINES Community Council And Student Life Explained John Hines wfas elected first Student Government president for North Carolina Wesleyan College to preside over four col lege classes. Gary Garlow was elected as the first president of a Senior Class at the new col lege as the first Seniors will graduate in May, 1964. John Hines, a rising senior from Rocky Mount, was elected as president of the Student Government Association. Other officers of the Student Govern ment are: Robert Stevens of Roxboro, vice president; Joan Duke Honored By Scholarship Fund By BONITA PITZER Before the birth of our com munity, the Administration es tablished certain rules for our guidance. Since then most of our regulations hav been made by the students themselves. Learn- ing to abide by these rules has^ been a painful process. In the last three years our young college has experienced many of these growing pains ranging from pigs (of the farm tj-pe .species) in Nash HaU to a serious lax in the students’ at titude of right and wrong. Cures; had to be administered for these pains. Some, as in the case of MacAdoo, the pig, must be handled by a disciplinary coun cil. Having made the rules, we, the students,, have been en trusted with the responsibility of maintaining and enforcing them. We have designated the Student life Association for this purpose. It is composed of a chairman elected by the student 'body, the Director of Student Life, and the President of the Day Students, Women’s, and Men’s Councils. The penalties imposed by this group for majcw Davie Named To Admissions Job Ronald H. Sherron, director of admission at North Carolina Wesleyan College, plans to leave Wesleyan this fall to be gin work on a Ph.D. at the University of North Carolina. Richard E. Davie is the new Director of Admissions. Davie, a native of Durham, is a graduate of Mars Hill Jun ior College, the University of North Carolina, and has earned the Master of Education from U.N.C. in Guidance and Coun seling. He served with the U. S. Air Force during World War II and during the Korean con flict. He has taught High School in Durham and Orange Counties. For the past two yeans he was Director of Guidance for Gran ville County schools. offenses, the interpretations of handbook rules they give, and the decisions! they make con cerning appeals from other dis ciplinary councils have laid the foundation for the principles which the community should and must uphold. The growing pain'S have been more serious than harmless pranks such as letting MacAdooi escape in the dorm. The SLA has been very effective in “cur ing” the violators causing these pains. It is the medium through Which we protect our community from those who would thought lessly destroy the Campus Code we have estaj>lished. The ideals at Wesleyan are high. We in tend to keep them that way. The SLA serves us as the counselor that we need for this goal. To the newcomers to our campus, I present the Student Life As sociation. Another area of painful growth has been in founding and enact ing of the BUI of Rights. The Community Council, represent ed by m'embers from the facul ty, 'Staff, and student body, serves as the conscience of our community reminding us of the main ideal that we are aU basi- adly honest. Whenever proiblems of morale or ethics arise, the Council investigates the situa tion and makes recommenda tions for the needed action to the proper groups or persons. Such was the case last year when students became careless in signing for chapel attendance and then failing to go. Each memjber of the community should be aware that the Council is available for advising and aiding in any matter which he feels should be remedied. The Community Council stands for the trust which is placed in each individual. It 'bases its beliefs, in an ideal—an ideal which it holds as the goal of our entire commiinity in which we wUl cherish and respect our own honesty and that of our fellow student, staff, and faculty. Together the SLA and CC strive to help us create a com munity in which the Campus Code prevails throughout. Do you know what the Campus Code is? Edwa.rd F. (Dick) Duke has been honored by the establish ment of a scholarship fund at North Carolina Wesleyan Col lege. President Collins annouc- ed that a friend initiated the Dick Duke Scholarship Fund with a generous contribution this month. Several gifts sent to the Businessi Office have already been added to this fund. The scholarship will honor the memory of Duke, one of North Carolina Wesleyan College’s ori ginal Trustees, and a form,er mayor of the city of Rocky Mount, Long active in local affairs, he had -served as Aldeirman from 1943 until May, 1949, when he was elected mayor. He serv ed two terms-until 1953. At Wesleyan he was a trustee, a member of the building com mittee and the finance commit tee. An active member of The First Baptist Church he served also as a member of the Board of Deacons. A permanent endowment fund for Carolina Wesleyan Ck)llege begins with gifts in excess of $3,200 given to honor the memory of Page K. Gravely, dedicated trustee of North Caro lina Wesleyan College. W. W. Shaw, president of the Rocky Mount Area Wesleyan College Foundation, released the announcement that the per manent endowment fund was established. The Fbundation has pledged $50,000 annually to the operating support of the college so long as it shall exist. Income from this and future endowment gifts count toward this financial goal. E. E. “Knocker” Adkins serv ed asi chairman of the fund this year which pledged $40,000 to the operating .budget of the college. The 'gifts to initiate the en dowment fund were made to the Foundation by Director Lee Gravely on behalf of China Amercan Tobacco Company, Eastern Storage Corporation, Gravely Foundation Inc., L. L.

The Faculty’s Vacation A lot of ibusy nine-to-five, year- round workers look green- eyed at teachers’ three-month vacation and murmur, not quite inaudibiy, “What do they do aU isummer?” At North Carolina Wesleyan, College there’s hardly a pause in the regular routine of most teachers and administrators. They just mumble absent-mind- dly, take another vitamin pill, and continue, fuU-speed ahead, on whatever project demands their attention. Miss Herta WoUsheiber has continued work on her doctoral dissertation >at the University of Graz in her native Austria. She is assistant professor of physios at Wesleyan. Miss Frances Exum, Spanish instructor, has traveled and studied in Mexico this summer, gathering informa tion and experiences to pass on) to her students this faU. H. Ray Brackett, assistant professor of psychology, continued to work toward his Ph.D. at the Univer sity of Virginia. Assistant professor of history Willard B. Gatewood, Jr., hasi studied at the President Truman Library for Research, in Inde pendence, Mo., after he com pleted one session of summer teaching at Wesleyan. James Tedder, assistant profes'sor of romance languages has done 'graduate work at the University of Wisconsin. Gerald M. Gar mon, instructor of EngUsh, con tinued doctoral studies in En glish Literature at the Universi ty of Virginia. James B. Alsip, instructor in history 'a>nd gov ernment, and Mrs. Alsip, In structor in French, both have M.A.’s from Texas Christian University. Dr. Peter Gerschefski taught at the music camp in Brevard; Dr. A. W. Sharer taught in a special science institute for high school teache-rs at Duke. Others have traveled-asrfar-as Bob Gay, assistant comptroUer, did on his jaunt to Europe, and not- so-far as did math professor HaU and his. famUy when they toured New England, the C. Edwin Harwoods on a trip to Michigan and the James C. Coxes on a visit to Ohio. The Grays worked on in the Ubrary. They reclassified and cataloged the Black Mountain coUection. Dr. WUliam Sasser has spent the summer working with Wesleyan’s ever-growing Music Librrary. Brown Gives Another Gift The Carolina Wesleyan Col lege campus win be beautified as the result of a generous gift from a former Edgecombe County resident. President Thomas A. Collins has an nounced that another contri bution has been made by Frank E. Brown of Richmond, Va. His first major gift was the College Entrance, dedicated in October, 1962. After thorough study by the architects, Laish- mit. Brown, and PoUock of Winston-Salem, the serpentine wall was chosen with large panel markers at each end of the campus as another gift. These will announce the college to pas'sersby in bold lettering. Brown, former president of Manchester Paper Products Company of Richmond, has been a friend of Carolina Wes leyan from its inception. The complete project will cost ap proximately $50,000. At a recent meeting, the B&ard of Trustees accepted the gift from Brown for the wall. Speaking for the Board, Chair man Luther Hill of Tarboro said, “We are grateful for this generous gift by a native son. All of us wUl approve the beauty added to our growing campus.” Desiring no personal recog nition, Frank Brown concur red with the idea of dedicating the College Entrance to the ministers of The Methodist (Church who led the North Caro line Annual Conference into supporting the establishment of Carolina Wesleyan in 1956.
