Janie Brown, professor of physical education, Seena Granowsky, pro fessor of psychology, Ann Wooten, associate professor of education, and Penny Davis, coordinator of the Welcome Center, are retir ing this year. Ginger Bulla, assistant to the dean of Cultural and Special Janie Brown programs, Kathy Manning, director of Service Learning, Lisa Carloye, associate Ifessor of Biology, and Brad Hamm, associate dean of the School of Communications are leaving. Davis has been at Elon for 18 years. Hired as a part-time help to the Chaplain and part time for graduate admissions, Davis has moved into Ann Wooten coordinator of the Welcome Center and got ten a degree in history since 1987. She will miss the interaction with people. “I constantly interact with people from not only around the country, but also the world,” Davis said. She said that the Welcome Center, built four years ago, is good because it’s easy to find and is at a focal point at Elon. “We’re too small though, visits continue to grow,” Davis said. “We have to go to bigger rooms to watch the presentations sometimes. Because of technology and the Intemet, she sees more students fh)m farther distances more often. “It used to be if someone came from Oklahoma or something we said, ‘how did you find us’?” Davis said. “Now it’s not a big deal for someone See FAREWELL p. 6 News Editor An honors class will present their documentary about Latino migrant workers at 7:30 p.m. in Isabella Cannon Room Tuesday. Throughout the semester, HNR 275: American Working Class has worked on this presentation. It will include mounted photos, a speaker, a slideshow with voiceover imd video interviews with workers. The sj^eak- er will be either Leonardo Galvim, an activist for Latino mignint workers, or Andiea Bazan-Manson, executive director of El Pueblo, a resource cen ter for migrants. “One of the biggest misconcep tions is tliat Hispanics are coming and taking oui- jobs, living on wel fare, that they’re a drain on our coun try,” said Allison Genco, a student in the class. “It’s exactly the opposite actually, they all pay taxes, don’t get any benefits from the govemment. They tiren’t taking our jobs; they are taking jobs that no American wants to do. They do it because their situa tion in Mexico are so desperate.” As a class, the students read books and did research for the first month and a half of spring semester. The class is “team taught,” meaning two professors from different disciplines teach the class. Sharon Spray, asso ciate professor of political science, and Ken Hassall, associate professor of art teamed up for the class. At first, the students had trouble finding contacts to help them speak with migrant workers. SAP (Student Action with Farmworkers) and FLOC (Farm Labor Organizations Committee) spoke to the class but didn’t help them much with contacts. Genco got her break when she attended Latino Day at the North Carolina Legislature. This day See HONORS p. 5
