PAGE 2 THE DECREE TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1978 Editorial Scribbles by Susie Cone First of all I want to welcome all the new freshmen and transfer students to North Carolina Wesleyan College. I invite you at any time to submit an article to “The Decree.” If there is anything you wish to express, we can print it in the newspaper. Sometimes the articles can get rather dull during the year, because our reporters cannot cover the entire happenings 6n or about campus. So if y(w need to say something-do it oy writing for “The Decree.” Secondly, although there were many changes made at Wesleyan this year there is still an ad(Mtional change that needs to be made, and that is the ludicrous report cards we receive. I had to laugh the first time I got one in the mail last year. It lodced more like the report card that I was given in kindergarten - with my name, the classes, and my grade for the class. There was no information about grade point average, quality points, or semester hours completed- absolutely nothing. This is a college, isn’t it? If anything ever needed to be changed at this school, it has to be the ridiculous slips of paper that this school uses to represent a report card! What can be done about it? Is this institution to poor to give computerized ones? Come on Wesleyan students something has got to be done. Instead of demanding visitation and alcoholic beverages all the time, fight for something that is really important to you—let’s get a new substitution for what North Carolina Wesleyan College gives out as report cards. Lastly, let me try to emphasize the imiwrtance of the student body participating in all the events that occur at Wesleyan during the year. This year with the highest enrollment ever, it seems that it’s time for Wesleyan to establish itself with other big name colleges and universities. From what I can see there seems to be an awful lot of talent here this year in the different areas of school activities. So let us show some enthusiasm toward all facets of the campus community. Wesleyan ne^s the support of every student here to make this an exceptionally good year. FRESH FACULTY FACES by Sue Painter In order to compensate for the continually increasing enrollment at North Carolina Wesleyan College, it was necessary to make additions to the present faculty.

DEAR C. P. S. “HELPFUL ADVICE TO CAMPUS RESIDENTS” Dear C.P.S: (Campus problem solver): This is an anonymous complaint from the girls in Edgecombe Dorm. The guys in South Hall have develop^ this tendency to peek through the side windows of our halls. We don’t always know if the shade is up or down, and we are forever running up and down the halls in our undies. How can we find a way to handle those sex-crazed dudes, and still keep our privacy? Signed: Residents of Edgecombe Hall Dear Residents: Why don’t you girls get together and put up some scenic posters against the screens? Since those sex- crazed guys, as you have called them, are looking for some wildlife, I’d suggest you get some posters of lions and tigers. (At least that’s honest wildlife!) Dear C.P.S.: Have you ever noticed the rush of hot and cold water while showering when someone flushes the toilet? I’d like to know if there is any way the water heater can be adjusted to stop these sudden flashes. Signed: Pink and Blue Rear End Dear Colorful Rear End, Sorry nothing can be done about the hot and cold flashes. The only helpful advice I can give you is to either take your showers early or late, and hope that some of the hall residents don’t have bad kidneys during that time.

Each issue will have a selection of creative writing from you, the students. If you enjoy writing creatively, and would like to have your material in print then let any member of the staff accept your work. Just before every issue the entire staff will review the submitted work, and choose a few selections. Even if your creative writing doesn’t appear in one issue it may in the next. “The Decree” would really like to see this new idea last throughout the year, so if you have anything we would love to see it. PEOPLE People are like flowers, Give them room to grow And multitudes of ideas Will suddenly appear, And all wants, wishes, dreams, and desires are Fulfilled unto the ends Of the Earth. Tina Moore FRIENDS Friends are for real you know. They make you feel funny and sometimes sad And other times glad. Good times with true friends are never ending, In a time of n^ they’re always there, Ready to help in anyway needed. I’d like to think everyone was a friend but, This just can’t be, true friends are really hard to come across. When you do you’ll know it, They’U mean so much to you. Unknown Student STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKES I love strawberry shortcakes. If 4,000 shortcakes were in a line, I could probably eat-- and-enjoy everyone, in time. But, now and then, (more often than not), I get the feeling that the cook grows tired-and the strawberries stale. And then, no matter how delicious they appear, the shortcakes’ taste just isn’t the same The ice cream’s just a bit too sour-the strawberries, a smidgen too sad. When that sorrowful moment arrives. I’ll slowly back my chair out, fold my napkin, and gently walk away. Away, away, until some other day, I’ll return and once more test the taste of the tempting shortcakes. If the flavor should seem bland, then I’ll know it’s time to leave forever-or at least until the cook again allures my favor, to taste the ambrosial flavor- ’cause I’m a fool for good shortcake. . . And love. Susie Cone
