REVELATIONS
A New Outlooh Displayed
By Resident Directors
Amongst the nearly 400
resident students at North
Carolina Wesleyan College,
one finds four Resident
Directors, all with unique and
individualized personalities,
yet all with a unified goal, the
involvement of Wesleyan
students in a social life on
campus.
Director of Campus
Security and Resident
Director of North Dorm is
twenty-two year old Sherry
Overbee. Ms. Overbee is a
graduate of UNC-Charlotte
with a degree in Criminal
Justice. She also attended
Wake Tech and received an
associate degree in Police
Science. From Pine Level,
North Carolina, Sherry enjoys
all forms of sports and is
particularly fond of water
aia ifl" some"’ way tfie
development of Wesleyan’s
student life.
"^enty-three year old A1
Garlick, Director of Housing,
Coordinator of Career
Planning and Placement, and
Resident Director of South
Dorm, is a graduate of State
University of New York where
he received a degree in
Secondary School Sciences. A1
enjoys music, dance and
sports. He is enthusiastic in
dealing with his respon
sibilities here at North
Carolina Wesleyan, and hopes
to enrich the student life
through his experience and his
own philosophies.
The lady of experience
here at North Carolina
Wesleyan is Lois Howell who
is now in her fourth year as a
resident director. She also
serves as Assistant Student
Life Activities Coordinator.
Mrs. Howell’s hobbies include
crochet and genealogy.
Known to many as the “Mom”
of the campus, Mrs. Howell
feels that the three new
forward to a good year.
A gentleman with goals
which include togetherness,
harmony, and basically
student enjoyment of “on
campus” life, is twenty-four
year old Doug Frazier who is
Resident Director of Nash
Dorm and also Student Life
Activities Coordinator. A
graduate of North Adams
State College, Doug graduated
with a degree in Psychology
and enjoys cross-country
skiing, art, and jogging. He is
interested in the needs and
interests of the students at
North Carolina Wesleyan,
(both on and off campus) and
is certain to be an asset to
North Carolina Wesleyan.
Each of the four Resident
Directors seem to be cmi-
cemed with the welfare of
each student here at North
Carolina Wesleyan; never
theless, they realize that alone
they can not achieve the goals
which they have set, and,
therefore, seek the
cooperation of the student
body. The enthusiasm and
intorMt that fiaph of thf^ffljir
leads one to believe that the
1979-1980 school year will be
one which will improve the
student life, and perhaps will
destroy the label sometimes
attached to Wesleyan - “the
suitcase college.”

The Written Word
And You
Student unrest is a basic
element existing on all
campuses. As is true world
wide, not everyone is satisfied
with their environment,
whether on the home-front, on
the job, in the political realm,
or in school. Dissatisfaction is
a part of human growth and
individuality, that is, when
expression of the ailment is
properly channeled.
In the late sixties cam
puses across the nation saw
student expression in the form
of violence and destruction.
True, people torfc notice of
such action, but seldom was it
considered indigenous to
human growth. With today’s
technolo^, access to and
availability of mass media
enable millions to be heard as
well as mOlions to listen. The
written word has done more to
advance a cause than any one
physical gesture; and since
we are supposedly-a civilized
race, it has been proven many
times that “the pen is
mightier than the sword.”
With this in mind I am
offering to you, the student
body, what has been available
but all too often ignored-a
form where issues of im
portance can be aired in a
civilized’ manner. Avail
yourselves of what could and
should be the strongest
channel of self-expression.
The Decree was not
established for mere en
tertainment. No, it is for
everyone’s participation, be it
student, faculty, or ad
ministration. The Decree is
here to represent North
Carolina Wesleyan College
and that entails all facets of
Wesleyan life, good or bad,
satisfying or disagreeable,
antecdotes and antidotes.
As editor I can only do so
much, go so far with this
paper. I need your help to
make The Decree a true
segment of the college, a part
of you. So please put your
thoughts, hopes, wishes,
opinions, or whatever on
paper and submit your con
tribution to Wesleyan via The
Decree. Be concerned, be
heard; don’t rely on “the
other guy” for he may have
the same attitude.
Thank you for
your cooperation,

South, Edgecombe, Coke--A Party
Wednesday, September
12, South and Edgecombe
dorms collaborated with the
Coca-Cola Company to give a
dance-party on the patio in
front of the Student Union.
After correcting technical
difficulties with the sound
system the party began
rocking and rolling at about
nine p.m. Students worked up
a sweat and thirst «i the
bricked dance floor. A cmi-
stant crowd was to be seen
aroMd the Coke bar rein
stating their bodies with liquid
- Coke, Sprite, and Tab...
The music varied from
disco to “laid back” with an
occasional jet overhead, fire
engine, and other sound ef
fects. In keeping with the
educational atmosphere a
lesson on sounds from the
studio was played (thanks to
Todd Rundgren, the studio
engineer genius). A popular
dance tune was Michael
Jackson’s “Don’t Stop ’til You
Get Enough,” it seemed to
bring people out of their seats
or from wherever they may
have been.
All in all, the party was
deemed & success even though
Wednesday night was Ladies’
Night at Zolly’s and Mac’s
Tavern was supplying a
chicken picking.
Thai^s to the energies put
forth by new social staff
members and the all-new
programming designed for
Wesleyan’s social activity
students can expect other
such parties on and off
campus. Dorms are giving
parties, the school has its
annual events ^uch as
Homecoming and Spring
Fling ~ all channels are being
used to bring an atmosphere
of social bei^ to N.C.W.C. We
should all pitch in to do what
we can in order to further such
events. A simple but helpful
task all can perform is that of
clean-up; that is, disposing of
one’s own trash, cans, and
bottles in the proper con
tainers.
