PAGE 2 - THE WAYNE COAAMUNIQUE, WCC, GOLDSBORO, N. C„ JAN. 26, 1970 Editorial Page Significance of the WCC Seal The torch underlying all other elements is the torch of learning. It represents not only education in general but adult education specifically. It is under all other elements because adult education is the first and basic program and the starting point for all others. The Shield is the shield of protection and represents the community services function of the college. The shield is used because of the premise that education is a protector of the citizens of the community. On the shield are two devices: the gear wheel, representing technical-vocational education and the book, representing academic college programs. The gear wheel is upper because these pro grams were established some years before the college program and are considered equally, if not more, important. The banner contains the motto labor omnia vinelt, which means that perseverance overcomes all obstacles. This reflects the purpose of the college to assist all those having the initiative and ability in preparing for a better life. It also reflects the philosophy of the college that everyone can benefit from the college's pro grams, if they are realistic in their goals and persistent in their education. The college colors, blue and gold, reflect the same premise as the motto in that blue represents perseverance and gold represents reward. The ring around the shield contain^ the official name of the college and the date of establishment. This not only identifies the institution, but the ring, being endless, represents the continuity of education and the eternalness of truth. This Is Your Week Do You Have a Problem? Dear Blabby Dear Blabby: This Is ter- ably Imbarasing to me because never befour have loppenedmy hart to anhone Ilk this. Blappy, you must help me, because If I fale my course In logick I will not graduate from WCC this year, and If I do not grad uate from WCC I cannot get In Harvard, and If I do not get In Harvard Mom and Dad will be auful made and maybee cut off my alowance, and then what would I do? You sea, It is like this: Teecher weely Isn’t fare to aslgne such deflcult and ad vanced problems. Suchcompll- kated maters reely shoube sav ed graduate semmlnars, but teecher just doesn’t seam to understand. So,pleese, Blatty, tell me the answer so I can pass logik. Like I said. Flabby, It Is like this, the problem, I mean. Anyway, there are to horsesr One Is pened In the barne and the o&er is lose and runingdown the road. Which one is singing "Don’t fence me In?” ' P. S. Pleeze don’t use my reel naim. Mom and Dad think al my grads are A plus. Dere Pleeze: Logic Is one of the most important courses you will take at WCC. You must devote more time to de ductive reasoning. 1. Assuming that one horse Is already fenced in it would be highly unlikely that he would be singing “Don'tfenceMeln.” Olemember he Is already fenc ed In). 2. Since we have only two horses and we have already deduced that the horse In the barn is not singing, we can assume he Is listening. 3. Now we have two known facts: one horse is singing, one horse is listening. 4. Therefore the horse run ning down the road singing “Don’t Fence Me In” is tak ing singing lessons from the horse in the barn. I hope this example of logi cal reasoning will help you. Let me know If I can help you again. Dear Aunt Blabby: I am an aviation tech student doing the final on an engine over haul, Right now I am 30,000 feet and the engine has Just quit. What should I do?—Worried. Answer: Dear Worried: Re peat after me, "Our Father...” —Aunt Blabby. (Contributions to the plaque for "Worried” maybe made to Aunt Blabby). Dear Blabby: Ever since I turned 18 on January 13 I have been worried about the draft. I have been up nlgjits worrying and my grades are being affected. What can I do?—Ann. Dear Ann: Don't worry,Den tal Hygiene students aren’t drafted. Dear Blabby: 1 am In the watchmaking program. The electric Timex I fixed now has to be wound. What Can I do? —Bruce. Dear Bruce: Followtheper- son around who is wearing the watch and hum In his ear so he will not realize It Is his watch going tic tic tic. I realize that it may be difficult to do this for any length of time with out becoming emotionally In volved. Continue following the person until he trips In one of the many pot holes or slips In one of the many mudholes in the parking lot. Then step heav ily upon the watch bearing wrist, run directly to the Re gistrar’s Office and change your major to Practical Nurs ing. Then run back out to the parking lot and set his wrist. While doing this, drop his watch into a mudhole. Then pray that we do not start a skin diving program. The week of January 12th has been designated as Business Week. Bulletin Boards consist ing of assorted topics have been posted in the halls of the Ad ministrative Building and "B” Building. Tags are also being worn by the Business Students, yi: On these tags are written, "I am a Business Major,” also a picture symbolizing the phase of business In which each stu dent is enrollpd. The Business Students were asked to dress in a business like manner on Wednesday, January 14. As an added feature, IMr. JIIIMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIUI I Counselors I Corner Ill Job Placement Bill Frazier, counselor from the office of the Dean of Stu dents and also Job Placement Officer, requires those stu dents seeking part-time em ployment to register with him giving name, address, age, telephone number, and work ex perience so that this type of in formation is readily available when an employer calls to fill a particular job. For permanent employment students approaching gradua tion are asked to fill out a re sume form listing references, work experience, location de sired, and other pertinent in formation. The Placement Of fice then arranges interviews, whenever possible, between prospective employer and stu dents. One completed resume is given to each graduating stu dent prior to graduation. At some later date, ap proximately six months, the graduate will receive a follow- up study sheet, which, when completed, will furnish this office with facts concern ing the problems and success es encountered in adjusting to work experiences. This infor mation may be used to Improve the school’s present and future programs. Financial Aid Wayne Community College is now participating in the fol lowing Federal financial aid programs: 1.
