SENIORS - DO IT NOW
VOLUME XVin, NUMBER 4
As Spring Term gets
underway there are a few
career necessities which
many seniors keep putting off
until tomorrow. These are the
completion of the placement
registration form and the
writing of a well developed
resume. To get the most
mileage out of these, the
graduating seniors must
rewrite both until they have a
version they feel is the best
possible. Once your
registration form is ready,
make sure you type it neatly
because it makes an im
mediate impression on
potential employers. When
you have your resume written
the way you want it I suggest
that you bring it to myself,
Phil Prager, or Dave Smith to
check it over. If you are
having problems developing
your resume, I encourage you
to stop by my office and set up
an appointment to work on it.
If you are having difficulties
motivating yourself to write
these, remember you will
need to have them completed
before you do any in
terviewing with campus
recruiters!
This Spring I have a few
employers coming on campus
to do recruiting. On February
27th, Metropolitan Life In
surance will be interviewing
in the SGA office from 9 - 12
and 1 - 4.-I- On March 20th
Hardees will be in the S.G.A.
office interviewing people for
their trainee Assistant
Manager progi;am.-|- On the
average. Assistant Managers
move up and manage a
restaurant within 12 - 18
months. From this position
there are opportunities to
become a district manager or
to move into other areas
within the corporation.
Hardee’s is looking for Hotel
and Food Service majors or
people with experience in the
food and restaurant field. On
February 7th, Suffolk school
cancelled their interviews due
to snow. We have now
rescheduled their recruiting
day. Suffolk schools will be
here on Wednesday, March
THURSDAY, MARCH 13. 1980
12th from 5 PM until 9 PM.-i-
At present I am at
tempting to set up some in
terviews for business and
accounting majors with
Hardees. As more interview
dates become set I will post
them in the STUDENT LIFE
OFFICE.
-I- If you are interested in
interviewing with any of these
recruiters you will need to
stop by my office and sign up
for an interview time.
Thank You,
Al Garlick
TITLE III, WHAT IS IT?
Black Awareness Group
ROCKY MOUNT - North
Carolina Wesleyan College
has announced goals for its
third decade of operation.
N.C. Supreme Court Justice J.
Phil Carlton, chairman of the
college board of trustees,
made the announcement at a
news conference at the college
December 7, 1979.
The Third Decade Plan of
the college has a two-fold
purpose: to verbalize
academic program objectives
and to outline goals and
procedures for fundraising in
the coming decade.
‘‘North Carolina
Wesleyan College proposes to
remain a small liberal arts
institution emphasizing a
program of excellent quality
education led by master
teachers,” said Carlton.
“Residential capacity for the
decade . will be held at its
approximate number of 450,
with enrollment enlargement
occurring mainly as the
evening, extension, and
special education programs
are instituted. The college is
presently engaged in ex
tensive research to determine
how it best can respond to
area educational needs, ad
justing its offerings
throughout the decade in
order best to serve its con
stituencies,” he added.
Recruitment efforts will
be concentrated in eastern
North Carolina and in the
category of commuting
students. The college has had
a 61 percent increase in non-
Not only are Wesleyan’s
Blacks beautiful, but this

March 2 - they are also
BUSY! Members of the Black
Awareness Group have
produced a full week of
special events celebrating
Black History and the Black
experience. The week began
on Monday evening with a
panel of local ministers
presenting the contributions
of Blacks to America for the
last 100 years. On Tuesday,
the group held a spectacular
fashion show; on Wednesday,
the members staged two short
theatrical productions —
“Contributions,” and “The
Wiz” - which brought down
the house with a banquet of
resident students since 1975.
Carlton announced that a
total of $26 million will be
sought in the ten-year period
in support of the annual
operating budget, for con
struction and renovation,
academic development and
research, and endowment.
“With modest allowances
for inflation-fueled costs.
North Carolina Wesleyan
College will need $12 million to
support its annual operations
fund and an additional $14
million for endowment,
construction, and academic
programs,” said Carlton.
“From 25 to 30 percent of the
college’s operation budget
must be provided each year
by gifts and grants if the
budget is to be in balance. The
college will campaign
vigorously in each fiscal year
of the 80s to provide these
basic funds, so necessary for
continuing existence.”
Sources for these funds
each year are: the Our
Wesleyan Now .campaign in
the Rocky Mount area, the
North Carolina Conference of
The United Methodist Church,
the Independent College Fund
of North Carolina, alumni,
parents of students (current
and former), foundations and
corporations, and a host of
other friends of the four-year
liberal arts college.
Of the $14 million, $6
million will be sought for the
completion of the original
campus plan, said Carlton.
Busy
joy, good fun, and laughs. As
we go to press, the Black
Awareness Group will sponsor
a Poetry Reading on Thur
sday in the Library, a talent
show in Garber Chapel on
Friday, a disco featuring the
Generation III band live in the
cafeteria, and will wind up the
week with a gospel sing on
Sunday in the Gym.
Tony Pierce, BAG
President, and impresario of
this week’s festivities, and his
many friends, are to be
congratulated for this out
standing slate of activities, of
youthful enthusiasm, Black
talent (and sometimes for the
real amateurs, courage), and
fun.
“Scheduled for construction
as funds become available are
a fine arts center, a college
chapel, a swimming pool,
remodeled academic and
laboratory facilities, and
maintenance and academic
use equipment,” he added.
The remainder will be
used for academic develop
ment and research and to
increase the college en
dowment fund to the level of
one million dollars for each
100 students enrolled.
Tuesday night, February
26, Wesleyan’s Black
Awareness Group produced
an exciting fashion show
which drew an enthusiastic
and appreciative audience
estimated at about 80 students
and townspeople. Black
Awareness Group women,
with lots of support from their
male friends, strutted their
stuff .... and it was good!
The program began with
the Fifties look, entitled “A
Blast from the Past.” For
some reason it looks better
now than it did then. The next
line featured “The Sports
Look,” a collage of exciting
swimsuits, beachwear, and
tennis outfits that really
turned the audience on. Kodak
Instamatic Flashbars popped
everywhere as the Black
Bishops of the Basketball
court pursued their favorite
spectator sport; and they did
get an eyeful.
Other segments of the
fashion display included
business wear, formal
Spring training started for

Plays A Big
Coltrane
Wesleyan’s Black
Awareness Group produced
two short dramas Wednesday
night as part of this year’s
Black Awareness Week ac
tivities. Ester Grandy stole
the first show with her
venomous rendition of Mrs.
Love in Ted Shine’s “Con
tributions.” Brenda Wade as
Katy, the working mother
trying to make it in the white
world during the agitated
middle sixties; and Anthony
Hit At
Pierce as the college
educated, up-tight grandson,
Eugene with his liberal
ideology of steel and his
nerves of putty were
delightful foils for the “spicy”
activism of Grandma Love.
The audience roared in ap
preciation as Mrs. Love
mimicked her young one’s
trashy, radical jive and
laughed and cheered as the
plot unfolded to reveal Mrs.
Love’s own recipe for ending
Honky oppression: cornbread
with a kick! This reviewer
hopes, however, that Jone
Marshall did not eat the cake
that the cast gave her for her
help.
The second play, William
F. Brown and Charlie Small’s
“The Wiz,” featured a whole
cast of aspiring black actors
having the time of their lives
as did the enthusiastic
audience. Cheryl Bynum, in
the leading role, did Dorothy
in a mixture of little girl
shyness and street-wise vixen.
Caroline Hutchison, as the
uproarously over-dressed and
over-endowed Addaperle, was
a perfect counter for Barbara
Brown’s sweet depiction of
Aunt Em.
The Scarecrow (Tony
Emmanual), the Tin Man
(Charles Williams), and the
Lion (Wayne Barlow) ~ all
received and deserved their
full quotas of laughs, cheers,
and applause ~ especially
Wayne Barlow, who proved
that lions are the best sports.
Wallace Johnson put aside his
sweatsuit long enough to race
through his version of the fake
Wiz; while EJvilene (Linda
High) and Glenda (Jackie
Pittman) wove their magic
spells on the spectators if not
on Dorothy and friends.
Rounding out the cast were
Rose Bryant, Rosa Tyner,
Barbara Smith, and Eva
Bazemore as tornadoes.
Yellow Brick Road, Mun-
chkins, Winkies, and Crows.
Beverly Aytch turned in a
very professional modern
dance sketch of a malevolent
“Eye of the Tornado.” Larry
Stone narrated the action and
Issac Hodges (on the piano)
and Wyatt Staton (on the
drums) provided very skilled
musical accompaniment.
Steve Wehry who designed the
costumes and Paul Methvin
who did the make-up also
turned in excellent work.
Congratulations everyone on a
job well done and for lots of
fun.
