r AUt- 4 — 1HK DECREE — SEPTEMBER 25,1987 New volleyball coach ready to rebuild sagging program DAY FOR WESLEYAN — Corbitt Rushing meets with a com munity volunteer during this year's successful "A Day For Wesleyan" campaign. (Photo courtesy of the Spring Hope Enter prise.) ADFW raises $344^38 (Continued from Page 1) By MARGARET CULVER Jetanna McClain is back, and she is ready to head for the top. With a multitude of good memo ries, McClain, the new volleyball coach, would like to watch her team progress to be similar to the good old days. She feels the talent is present to mold a great volleyball program. A look at McClain’s background shows ample evidence of her knowl edge of sports. She attended Wesleyan from 1979-82 and majored in Physical Education. During her college years, McClain participated in volleyball, basketball, and also softball. She was most prominent on the volleyball court. The volleyball MVP award and the NCWC Out standing Female Athlete award were presented to McClain for two years. She also received various NCAIAW volleyball awards. Presently, McClain is teaching at Greenfield School in Wilson, as well as holding the part-time coaching position. McClain acquires a team which did not have a successful past year Student Health notes changes in operation (Continued from Page 1) professor.

The Student Life Office has in formed Student Health that it will no longer provide rides for students who must seek care off campus. It is now the student’s responsibility to make arrangements for travel to and from the health facilities. Any student who wants to be seen at the hospital emergency room must first contact the campus nurse, an RD, or other Student Life personnel. The college needs to know if students are injured or seriously ill. If it is after hours, students may call the nurse at home after checking with the RD first. Student athletes who are injured while involved in their sport must first see the trainer. She will then refer athletes to the campus orthope dic physician. When going for a visit, students will need to notify Student Health and must either bring the bill to Health Services or have the doctor’s office mail the bill. It is ex tremely important that Student Health is notified to assure payment of the bills. Student Health Services will also be presenting “wellness programs” as in the past. The programs sched uled this year will be the traditional BC/STD mandatory for all freshman students, male and female, but all students are welcome. There will be new information and increased em phasis on AIDS this year. There will be a sign-up sheet. The program will be presented in all dorms this year on Sept. 28-28 begin ning at 7:30 p.m. More information will be presented soon. but was at no loss for talent. Last year, the team’s record was 2-9. McClain felt the team’s lack of suc cess was in no way related to their ability. “Being a spectator, I thought the girls got down on themselves a lot,” she said. “There was a lack of confi dence in themselves.” McClain seems to be exception ally positive about the 1987 squad. Five players returning from last year provide experience. McClain sees “excellent” ability in setting in both senior co-captain Debbie Ward and Lisa Derbin, the only freshman. Crystal Hazelwood and Sharon Fitz patrick are depended upon for pow erful spikes. McClain also feels there are quite a few all-around players she can de pend on.And when team spirit is needed, McClain looks to Alexis Bennett, senior co-captain, who, she says, “can keep the team going... even me.” Overall, McClain feels the team has a good attitude for the game, along with lots of hopes and dreams. In her opinion, all they need to do is work on defense and always be men tally prepared. Coach McClain enters the job with many expectations. She would like to play an important part in re building the volleyball program. McClain feels rebuilding is not an impossible task with all of the talent and great attitudes. At the end of the season, McClain does not figure to be in first place, but does not want to be any lower than third. She would like to see more support as the play ers continue to progress, because she feels “the crowd makes you want more.” Saga, Wesleyan join to renovate cafeteria (Continued from Page 1) much work as possible was done by Wesleyan personnel. This work was mainly limited to carpentry work by William Wadsworth, David Banfoi'd, and the Wesleyan maintenance staff. Kirkland said the cost of renova tions was $158,000. Interior renova tion cost $80,000, of which Saga contributed $30,000 and Wesleyan the rest; an air conditioning unit cost Wesleyan about $50,000; and the repair of the Student Union roof cost about $28,000. Sybil Banford, manager of the cafeteria, says she is extremely happy with the changes to the cafete ria. Besides the obvious changes, Banford noted that the deli line has been improved this year in that more different kinds of meats are being offered. What do the prime users, stu dents, think of the new cafeteria? Most students are impressed with the new look of the cafeteria. Jason Bar rios, a junior, said, “It looks more like a dining facility than a cafete ria.” “The new look of the cafeteria,” said one student who wished to re main anonymous, “even improves the taste of the food.” given by the president enables oppor tunities to develop and grow.” The on-campus drive is held a week ahead of the actual ADFW in order for the community to see how supportive the employees are of NCWC. In addition, a number of the volunteers for the community drive are from the campus so they play a dual role. “These people have a personal stake, they show leadership and are the people who have seen the school through the good and the bad!” said Stevens. Dr. Dan Crocker, a Rocky Mount physician, was the chairman of the community drive. Crocker plays in Wesleyan’s Jazz Band and Wind Ensemble. Crocker believes that the success of the campaign is due to the fact the school has such a great rela tionship with the community. “The college is very much loved by the community and they want to see it grow,” said Crocker. On a more personal note, Crocker said, “I’m glad I’ve been given the opportunity to see young people being able to grow and mature in such a place as NCWC.” The President of NCWC, Dr. Leslie Gamer Jr., praised the com munity effort. “I’m extremely pleased and grateful to volunteers and the community for their sup port.” he said. “This enthusiasm coupled with the high enrollment this year are good signs that the school is moving forward. I feel the community’s monetary involvement is their way of saying how supportive they are of what we are doing.” Gamer added. Wesleyan enrollment at its peak By SHIRLEY SMITH “Wesleyan has more students this year than it has ever had,” says Cliff Sullivan, Registrar and Director of Academic Advisement here at Wesleyan. Enrollment statistics for the 1987 Fall Semester show that Wesleyan’s total student population is 1,502. There are 646 day students, of which 587 are full-time students, and 380 students are living in dorms. There are 132 students in the on- campus Adult Degree Program and 716 in the off-campus programs. Wesleyan operates four extension sides: Goldsboro, Jacksonville, Raleigh, and New Bem. Only 22 of the students in the on- campus Adult Degree Program are full-time students. There are more full-time students, 156, in the off- campus Adult Degree Program, but ADP participants make up the bulk of Wesleyan’s 729 part-time stu dents. Such figures are to be ex pected, officials say, because most ADP students hold full-time jobs. Carl Pagles, Dean of Admissions and Financial Aid, said he hopes this high enrollment average would con tinue through to Spring enrollment, but he realizes that many students will leave Wesleyan, either because some will feel that Wesleyan is not for them or because their grades aren’t up to Wesleyan standards.
