Recruitment Set!
Bill Garlow, Director of
Admissions announced recently
an increase in payment to stu
dents successful in student
recruitment. Fifty dollars per
student enrolled rather than
twenty five dollars per student
will now be put toward the
Wesleyan students next tui
tion. Along with this announce
ment Garlow previewed plans
for student visitation week
ends.
Plans are now being formu
lated for prospective students
recruited either by the admis
sions office or an individual
student to be able to visit the
campus during weekends in
March and February. Activities
are in the planning stages now
concerning these weekends for
both parents and students. Mr.
Garlow also stressed that a
Wesleyan student may invite a
prospective student at any time
and his office will help in any
way possible.
This program of student
recruitment started four years
ago at Wesleyan and was one of
the first in the country.
Students suggested the idea at
that time and worked diligently
to keep enrollment at Wesleyan
high. The program has been
going on each year but has been
of utmost importance this year.
In a nutshell the program
follows these guidelines;
TYPES OF CREDIT AND
THEIR DEFINITION:
1. Tuition Credit. A credit of
$50 to be applied to the account
of the student recruiter. All
currently enrolled students
who return will be eligible for
this credit.
2. Alumni Fund Credit. A
credit of $50 to be applied to the
account of the NCWC Alumni
Association. All students who
DO NOT return will be eligible
for this credit.
PROCEDURE FOR GRAN
TING TUITION PLUS ALUM
NI FUND CREDITS:
1. Regular Procedure: (No
limit is set on number of credits
each student may accumulate.)

pressing the college’s apprecia

their Foundation team has done
in such a short period of time.

form to the director of admis
sions immediately after contact
is made with the prospective
student. The student prospect
forms are available from the
director of admissions.
B. Once the student prospect
form is received by the director
of admissions, it will be checked
against the admissions office
student contact file. This check
will be made to determine if the
student listed on the student
prospect form has had any
previous recorded contact with
the admissions office.
C. If the admissions office has
made a prior recorded contact,
the student recruiter will be
notified. He will be encouraged
to continue his cultivation of
this prospective student, but he
will not be eligible for a credit if
this student enrolls for the Fall
Term, 1974. This contact will
be considered in the overall
evaluation for awarding credits
by the Bonus Procedure (listed
below).
D. If the admissions office
has made no prior recorded
contact, the student recruiter
will be notified that a credit
(either Tuition or Alumni Fund)
will be made to his account if
this particular student enrolls
Schedule Change
N. C. Wesleyan President
Thomas A. Collins announced
that class schedule changes at
the college will be made in an
effort to conserve fuel and
electricity during the coming
months.
In order to make the most
effective use of Wesleyan’s
resources, as well as to share in
the national emphasis on
conservation. Dr. Collins has
notified the student body and
staff personnel of the following
conservation measures.
Fall Term examinations will
begin on Saturday, Dec. 8, and
conclude on Thursday, Dec. 13,
thereby saving one heating
day. Winter Term classes will
begin on Monday, Jan. 7, 1974,
rather than Jan. 3, with the
winter recess set to begin Feb.
22, 1974, rather than Feb. 27.
Following winter recess, class
es will resume Monday, Mar. 4,
with the examiantions set to
begin Wednesday, Apr. 11,
rather than Apr. 8. Spring
recess will begin Tuesday, Apr.
16, instead of Apr. 12.
According to Dr. Collins this
revised schedule will save
about ten heating days during
the coldest period with no loss
of required class time. In
addition to schedule changes,
all public areas, residence and
service facilities on the campus
have had temperatures reduced
to 68 degrees. All decorative
and unnecessary lighting has
been eliminated.
as a full-time student for the
Fall, 1974.
II. Bonus Procedure: (A limit
of one credit for any student
recruiter.)
A. Any currently enrolled
student who makes an out
standing contribution to the
Student Recruitment Program,
regardless of the number of his
student contacts who actually
enroll, may be eligible for a
single credit because of his
efforts. These persons will be
selected by the director of
admissions.
This is an excellent chance
for current students to both
ease the cost of tuition and at
the same time to help Wesleyan
maintain its enrollment or
increase it. Mr. Garlow empha
sized the fact that each student
has great possibilities for
prospective students such as
neighborhood friends, old high
school friends and relatives.
Over the holiday season, when
much visiting is expected,
Wesleyan students have a
great chance to make the
merits of Wesleyan know.
Mr. Garlow stressed that to
be eligible the Wesleyan
student must turn in a
prospective students name to
his office and that student
cannot already be in the
recruitment system. Any ques
tions students have can be
answered by Mr. Garlow, who
pledges any help Wesleyan
students may need in this
endeavor.
Area Foundation
Results of the Rocky Mount
Area Wesleyan College Foun
dation’s month-long campaign
for support of the college were
evaluated at a final report
luncheon in the Wesleyan
Cafeteria here Tuesday, Nov.
27.
Foundation President Leon
A. Dunn, Jr., presided,
welcomed special guests and
praised directors for their
participation in this year’s
campaign.
“We expect to reach our goal
of $55,000 by Friday, Nov. 30,
according to the information we
now have,” said Betts. “This
campaign has been one of the
greatest ever waged by the
RMAWC Foundation directors
and you are to be highly
commended for your enthusias
tic work.”
Reports indicated that each
director would be able to
finalize his report by Friday,
and complete the Foundation’s
campaign. The emphasis this
year was placed on a 30-day
impact, with solicitations for
pledges and donations to be
wrapped up within that period,
even though the Foundation’s
fiscal year ends May 30, 1974.
LORI KRIZOWZKY
Homecoming
Now History
Homecoming 73 is a memory
now, especially in the minds of
two freshmen, Lori Krizowski
and Denise Castillo, crowned
Queen and Maid of Honor, re
spectively at The Homecoming
Dance. Miss Krizowski is the
Nu Gamma Phi Sweetheart and
Miss Castillo is the represen
tative of the freshman class.
The Royal Kings entertained
at the dance and were well
received by the large turnout.
Many alumni took time from
their party at Gold Rock to
watch the crowning and many
stayed to enjoy the Royal Kings
and talk to students. Tom
Beech, President of the Alumni
Association invited all students
to the Alumni party after the
dance for a continuation of the
festivities.
Even though the Bishops lost
their third close game, this
time to rivals Virginia Wesley
an the spirit of the weekend
was jovial. The Phis won the
bedrace going away as ADX
and the Sig O’s crashed
together in the first turn.
There were many visitors
from other colleges, invited by
Wesleyan students and even
some prospective students
were spotted in the crowds. At
this time plans for the next
weekend center around Spring
Fling, billed as being bigger
and better than ever before.
