NCWC’s campus security is
on the job 24 hours a day,
seven days a week.
The eight-man team is in
charge of campus safety and
security, fire drills, accidents
and accident reports. They are
responsible for checking
residence halls and other
buildings to make sure they
are locked at night, and to
unlock the appropriate
buildings in the morning. Wat
ching traffic and keeping the
parking lots in order are also
obligations of the campus
security.
Contrary to popular belief,
campus security is Aot respon
sible for escorting students
from dorm to dorm. As stated
in the Student Handbook,
“Security personnel will pro
vide escort service to
residence halls for students
working late in the library, ad
ministration building, gym
nasium or Student Union.”
When asked about this, Jim
Van Roekel, Head of Security
replied, “Security provides
transportation to students
from one end of campus to the
other as a service. However, if
the occasion '■alls for security
to be somewhere else, as in the
case of an accident, security

The Volunteer for Youth
(VFY) program is a program in
which student-athletes create
a friendship with a boy or girl
from the age of 11 to 15 years

The student-athlete gets to
know the young boy or girl by
going to the movies, shopping,
studying together and going to
school activities.
One VFY student director at
Wesleyan is Daniel Wright,
junior from Bunn, N. C. Daniel
said, “I like to be there for the
kids and get satisfaction by
helping them.”
Another student director
from Wesleyan is Yolanda
(Yogi) Walker from Selma, N.
C. Yogi said, “I like to be
around kids and VFY gives me
this opportunity. It’s a lot of
fun, but also hard work. Also, I
get to help others and meet
the VFY national directors.”
Wesleyan is one of 52 col
leges and universities across
the United States that par
ticipate in this program.
Students interested in the
VFY program should contact
Linda McCarthy at 977-7171,
or one of the student directors.

Will there be mixed drinks
sold in Rocky Mount? This
seems to be the $64,000 ques
tion.
At a thank-you-get-together
last week, supporters of the
proposal were very positive
and making plans to reach
their goal to allow mixed
beverages to be sold at
restaurants, bars and hotels.
“The passing of this law would
definitely bring in better quali
ty chains such as Daryl’s,” said
one volunteer.
Although their goal is clear,
the many stages involved in
getting there are not. The first
order of business is to get
enough signatures on a peti
tion to put the question on a
ballot. It will take at least
6,000 registered voters to sign
before this can be voted on.
On November 6, the goal
was to obtain 2,000 signatures.
When asked about the results
of this drive, John Merritt of
Hardee’s replied, “We have
surpassed our goal and that
was a pleasant surprise. We
now have 90 days to get the
full 6,000 signatures.”
The final step is to get the
-voters out. “With a large tur
nout of strong supporters, we
will get this passed,^ an en
thusiastic supporter claimed.
Since November 6, the
volunteers have grown from
nine to 200, and is expected to
continue to grow as the date of
the February 2 deadline ap
proaches.
If all goes according to the
plans made, voting for liquor
by the drink will take place the
second week of May.
