^1^^^ ^ Huiui uaroiina mt Bttttt All The News That Fits, We Print. WBsldydn Collets Librsr'- ^ocky Mount. North Carolina U. s. POSTAGE PAID Permit No. 217 Rocky Mount, N. C. Noa-Profit Organization VOLUME Xm, NUMBER 4 ROCKY MOUNT, N. C, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1971 Mizelle Announces Arts Center Chorale Christmas Concert The Rocky Mount Arts Center Chorale will present a Christ mas concert on December 12, 13, 14, This year’s program is entitled “Sounds Like Christ mas” and will be performed twice nightly due to past com munity response to similar programs. Performance will begin tentatively at 7:30 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. and will incor porate forty-five singers from the Rocky Mount area. The Chorale is the newest edition to the Arts Center pro gram. Begun three years ago, it is giving its third perfor mance at the Tank Theatre. In the past there has been only one program a year at Christ mas. It is hoped that there will be enough to make an addi tional spring concert possible. The Arts Center greatly ap preciates the participation of Wesleyan students and faculty. This year Bruce Wright will again be the accompanist; sev eral faculty members and stu dents will participate also. “Sounds Like Christmas” will have both musical and nar rated Christmas selections for the first time. Vance Mizelle, director of the chorale, is “especially pleased to incor porate narrated pieces.” There will be many sides of Christmas portrayed — the lighter, secular, carols, and sacred. Anyone interested In participating in this event should contact Mr. Mizelle. i I DECEPTIOIV We, the students of North Carolina Wesleyan College, in order to close the creditability gap between the students and the Board of Trustees, do hereby ask that the Board disclose to us the true and ac curate financial situation of this college. Have we been deceived? In 1969, the College began a capital funds campaign called “Building for Tomorrow” with three stated goals. In order of priority: 1. The construction of a Fine Arts Center 2. The construction of a swimming poolnatatorium complex 3. The stabilization of the college’s financial situation. At last report, the capital funds had received contributions and pledges of approximately $1,000,000, It is quite apparent that we have no Fine Arts Center to date. Nor do we have a swimming pool complex. Whe ther or not we have a greater measure of financial stability is question able (ask any professor who hasn’t received a raise in recent years). But it is probably safe to assume that the money collected and pledged has been applied to this third goal, last according to the stated priorities. We feel quite certain that many students would, once again, be will ing to solicit donations and pledges from relatives, friends and acquain tances. The upcoming Parents’ Weekend affords us the perfect opportunity to initiate such a campaign. However, we feel that before the students of this college can be justifiably asked to participate in a new program, the Board of Trustees must answer a few basic ques tions : 1. What is the financial situation of this College? 2. For what purposes was the money allocated that was raised in the “Building for Tomorrow” campaign? 3. Why were the ordered priorities changed? 4. Why has the Board of Trustees not offered any follow-up explana tion or statement in regards to the “Building for Tomorrow” camp aign? 5. How far away is tomorrow? We, the students, feel that we have a right to know this College’s pre sent financial position and the direction in which we are moving. We strongly urge the Board of Trustees to consider these questions, to clear the air, and to avoid this suspicion of deception.

Police Science Students Organize Campus Security Approximately ten transfer students entered Wesleyan this fall to begin a new program major known as police science. As a part of the Education Division under the direction of Dr. Ralph James, these stu dents having studied criminal law and investigation, consti tutional law, pyschology, and karate are completing their work for a bachelor of science degree with group studies pro jects and basic curriculum. HENRY LAMM m RONNIE HOLLAND JAMES A. BAILEY Their involvement in the Self and Community program has given them such deverse jobs as an aide at Richard Fountain School, scoutmaster of Wilson Boy Scouts, and other related fields. Of these ten students, three discussed with the DECREE their purposes and goals for participating in this new pro gram. These students are Jim Bailey, Ronnie Halland, and Henry Lamm. Discussing their goals after graduation, the con- senous of the group was that they enjoyed the atmosphere of Wesleyan and felt that they were accepted, not as a poten tial policeman, but as stu dents striving to learn. Henry, Jim, and Ronnie re vealed several of their propo sals for campus security that have been sent to Mr. Sawyer. Under consideration by Mr. Sawyer is a proposal aimed at dealing with unwanted outside visitors; a list of registered motor vehicles (staff, faculty, and students) would be made (Continued On Page 4)
