Last week concluded
Rush Week on the Wes
leyan Campus. Each fra

Alpha Delta Chi, and Al

the Wesleyan sorority. Pi
Eplison “rushed” poten
tial members from each
classo Rush Week in
cluded many dances, par
ties, keg parties, open
houses, and a tea. Each
of these activities was
designed to give the pro
spective members a
glimpse of fraternity life.
Tom Fredricks, Presi
dent of Nu Gamma Phi,
was pleased with the in
terest shown in his or
ganization by the rush-
ees. Paul Robinett of Al
pha Delta Chi, and John
Hinnett of Alpha Phi O-
mega each concurred that
the 1969 Rush was “the
best ever
by Marsha White
Cartwright, Jim Dixon,
Harold Sutton, and Roger
Taylor. During the first
few minutes of the game,
the Bishops showed co
ordinated team effort with
close man-to-man defen
sive guarding. Sporadic
burts of speed enabled the
Bishops to gain the ball
on several of the oppon
ent’s sloppy passes; how
ever, this advantage did
not aid the team in scor
ing as its shooting seem
ed to be cold from the
floor. Yet, Wesleyan was
on the scoreboard first
when Jim Dixon put in a
layup for two points.
After several minutes
in the first half, it be
came evident that the Bi
shops were going to have
trouble penetrating the
zone defense set up by
Greensboro College.
After four minutes, the
score was tied, 5-5. From
then on, Greensboro took
and remained in the lead.
With 34 seconds left in
the first half, Dell Cart
wright sunk a foul shot
which put Wesleyan ahead
by one point. However,
Greensboro managed to
score another floor shot
and the board at halftime
showed Wesleyan, 30;
GREENSBORO, tt\.
Substituting for the
starters during the first
half were Wayne Horne,
Tommy Leggett, and Jim
Price. Roger Taylor led
the scoring during the
first half with 13 points
while Jim Dixon had 6.
Dell Cartwright netted 4
points, Jerome Brown

APO: NO LONGER
'WHAT’S THAT?’
Although Alpha Phi 0-
mega has made a signifi
cant contribution to the
A'esleyan campus through
various service projects,
the majority of the Wes
leyan community does not
know of its existence. The
first organized frater
nity at Wesleyan, Phi Sig-
m \ was affiliated with Al
pha Phi Omega as the
Omicron Rho chapter in
1965 — as one of 485
chapters of the largest in
ternational service fra
ternity, thus making the
Omicron Rho chapter the
earliest organized fra
ternity on Wesleyan’s
campus.

“Freedom with Re
sponsibility” has been the
theme of Dr. Sim Wilde’s
administation as Dean of
Students during the past
three years at North Car
olina Wesleyan College.
The year previous to
his administration as
Dean of Students, Dr.
Wilde had begun a teach-
ed education program.
When in mid-August, the
position of Dean of Stu
dents was vacated. Dr,
Wilde was asked to ac
cept the job. Two weeks
later, his administration
in student affairs began.
As Dean of Students,
Dr. Wilde reviewed his
three goals of priority.
His first goal was to bring
the campus disciplinary
problems under control.
He recalled that unlike
the atmosphere existing
today, there was no real,
clear understanding of
rules between the student
body and dean when he ac
cepted the position. There
was no judiciary operating^
He stated that the student
self-discipline had devel
oped during the past three
years to the extent that
discipline on campus is
good. He then praised the
arc’s and the HRC’s for
their effectiveness in
handling disciplinary
problems in the dorms.
His second goal was to
organize the Student Gov
ernment Association as
an organization whose
members were full-fled-
DEAN SIM WILDE
ged participants in run
ning the college. Dean'
Wilde pointed out the lack
of enough involvement in
campus affairs. He named
the main factor concern
ing this lack of involve-
men as the students’ lack
of interest. He called for
a stronger Senate operat
ing with more power and
a more forceful voice in
decision-marking, giving
the student body a great
er influence on campus.
Using the Administrative
Council as an example.
Dr. Wilde suggested that
student representatives
be allowed to serve on
faculty committees, with
the President of SGA ser
ving on this college com
mittee. Closely related to
