Alvin Horne, Head Coach of the Wesleyan Booters, had this to say about the Bishop selec tions: “Even though we were not able to win any games this season the opposing coaches felt that Tom Henderson was the best goalie In the DIAC. I definitely think he is the best goalie that has ever played at Wesleyan. He has great posi tional sense, quick reflexes, strength and stamina. He throws the ball further than any goalie I have ever seen. His ability is complimented by his ability to get the ball out with punts and punt-kicks, I feel that he deserved the All-Con ference honor because he is the best goalie. In addition to his outstanding ability Tom has ideal attitude, great team spir it, and a burningdeslretowln.” Winston King was also select ed. Horne stated, “Winston’s soccer ability and knowledge of the game probably increased this year more than that of any returning player. This combin ed with his ever-present de termination and hustle won him the honor of All-Conference. I felt that he played outstanding soccer throughout the season. He was our second leadingsco- rer and when he was not lead ing the offensive punch, he was spear heading the defense. In addition to Henderson and King, Jim Lynham was selec ted as an All-Conference Hon orable Mention Linesman, He^ was the leading scorer for this years team, “He gave ex perience and punch to our of fense which enabled us to con trol the ball much more than in past years,” said Horne, “We will definitely miss his ex perience and ball control In our line next year.” When Horne was asked about next years team he said, “With our year-round training pro gram we have big hopes and a very outlook attitude for next year. This years team was principally made up of Sopho mores and Juniors. With the training program and stepped up recruiting we are going to change the image of Soccer at North Carolina Wesleyan Col lege in the fall of 1972. 1971-The Year Of Change And Challenge For N. C. Wesleyan At the beginning of each new year, custom or fashion dic tates that an analysis should be made of the old year to de termine what has been profit able by comparing the good events and situations with the bad. From the year 1971, it is possible to extract several examples of both extreme. As Wesleyan students return ed to campus In January 1971, they and the administratlonwas shocked to discover that over $1800 of personal property had been stolen as thieves ransack ed rooms in South HalL To the disappointment of many stu dents, It was discovered that the school, while insured for fire and flood, was not insured for theft. The theft was in vestigated by the S.G,A., but when asked about the admini strations reaction, Galen Hea ps, then SGA attorney general could only say, “what could Dean Cordts say? He is dis turbed.” Following on the heels of the disappointment, DECREE rea ders discovered that Mrs. Ruth Smith and Mrs. Jean Mannwould not be rehired by the school due to a drop in the enrollment and the financila crisis. While letters were written and a peti tion was presented to the Se nate, the decree’s editor, Ju ne Robinson, stated in a Janu ary 19 editorial, “Our admini stration, then, either acted in a manner that Is contradictory to the stated aims of the col lege or irrationally. It is not our desire to do also. But since we have donfronted a so lid obstacle in the form of administrative platitudes, the next step Is obligated to be more drastic than signed letters and conversations.” Through out the controversy, many op inions were developed, ex pressed, and refuted, and final ly Senate President Ed Gunter invited President Colleges to an open student meeting in which many of the problems were dis cussed. Though many alterna tives were proposed to the dis missal of the two professors, the decision of the administra tion was final. Mrs. Smith, in a vote of support and ap preciation, was selected the Best Professor at N. C. Wes leyan In a general vote by stu dents In April, Faced with the dual problems of insufficient funds and lower student enrollment, the faculty began a series of academic changes which have (consider ing Wesleyan’s openly express ed progressive view) culminat ed with the three track curri culum. Preceding the adop tion of Three-Track was the abolition of the foreign langua ge requirement and revision of the grading system (dropping the F, D, and the plus). Many ^voiced such changes during 1971 as determent to the character and constitution of the liberal arts institution. In fact, late in 1971, the final convocation was devoted to a discussion of liberal arts education and its future at Wesleyan. With the exception of some name-call ing and type casting, the parti cipants in the discussion could only conclude that changes will be and must be made. Turning from the academic events of 1971 to the social, the traditional dances Sadie Haw kins, Homecoming, and Formal were held, but one major de velopment was the organization of a new social fraternity, and Sigma Phi Delta, the sorie- ty. The Wesleyan Activists collected 305 pints of blood for the Red Cross, and in so doing Wesleyan won the Dis trict College Bowl, The S.G.A. elected Allen Winter as pre sident and Ned Hill become the Circle K District Governor. As always a year of 365 days maybe measured by afew mem ories that are for obvious rea sons different among other people. For Wesleyan College, 1971 was a year of change and challenge.
