to-say without the support of
students a literary magazine
representing them will fail,”
Jay Van Hoose said, “The pa
per will undergo some changes
next year; however, the editori
al policies will remain the
same. The DECREE will try
next year to represent all
groups of the student body and
strive to report the news as
accurately as possible,” Ralph
Rose stated, “Next year I am
hoping to give the DISSENTER
a fresh new look. Therefore,
it is my sincere wish that more
students will lend a helping
hand in order to make Wes-
leyan’s yearbook a bigger and
better success.”

This is a column which I
have admittedly looked forward
to for a long time, I have won
dered for the past few months
exactly what I was going to say
in parting to this school, its
students, faculty and adminis
trators. Looking back, I see
that very few of us have ac
tually done our best here, but
that is a quest which most of
us will still be following when
we die. This year/especial
ly has been one in which many
of us have given in to our own
selfish motives and desires. It
has been a year stricken with
controversy, dissention and ill-
will, all because our own needs
and wants have supplanted bro
therhood and compromise. In
short, it was a raw deal for
all, and everyone must take a
share in the guilt, whether in
saying too much or in saying
too little. But this year is
virtually behind us, and the les
sons in life we have learned
through this experience are
much larger than any textbook
or lecture can provide. It
leads me towonder if these hard
earned lessons will be applied
in the coming years,
I wanted to leave you all
with some “word-of-wisdom-
worth-remembering”, but I
cannot find one, I can’t even
say whole-heartly that it has
been a good experience. But
I have learned much more a-
.bout people and about myself
Opera Workshop
Evening Delightful
News Bureau: The N. C. Wes
leyan College Opera Workshop
presented a program of selec
ted opera scenes Sunday, April
9,
A variety of solos, duets,
ensembles and choruses from
well-known operas were per
formed, although it was pri
marily a Gilbert and Sullivan
evening. Selections from this
famous team’s compositions,
“The Gondoliers,” “The Sor
cerer” and “The Pirates of
Penzance” were included. Al
so included in the program
were songs from Mozart’s “The
Marriage of Figaro,” Puc
cini’s “La Boheme,” and Pie
tro Mascagni’s “Cavaleria
Rusticana.”
than I can describe. To those
who have helped, guided or for
given me, I wish all luck and
happiness. And I hope that
the members of this institution
will remember their lessons
and strive to improve Wesleyan,
as she needs a great deal of
improving. Negativism will
never improve anything. Posi
tive progress needs positive
thinking and action, from all
concerned. Compromise is not
a fault. Very few differences
are settled without it. And re
member that as long as these
differences exist, the academic
quality of this institution will
suffer.
So I have said little actual
ly of what I want to say, but
there comes a time to put down
the pen, fold up the tent and slip
quietly into the desert. I hope
that I have done some good at
least. Good-bye and good luck.
