SGA Holds First Homecoming
The Student Government
Association of Wayne
Community College has
undertaken a new project to
better the college and to make it
a sollege which every student,
past and present, will be proud
of.
The first WCC Homecoming
will be held the weekend of
January 15 and 16. Both
students who are presently
enrolled and past students are
asked to participate in order to
make this an unforgetable
homecoming.
The first event was the
selection of a Homecoming
Queen and court. Each
department and each club was
asked to nominate a.girl for the
competition. The student body
cast their ballots to select the
queen Wednesday, January 13.
The winner will be announced
Saturday at the basketball
game.
Friday night will start out
with a pep rally followed by an
informal gathering in the
student union. A “Cartoon
Festival” will precede a dance
both to be held in the Student
Union.
Saturday morning will find
alumni and WCC students
gathering at the college for
registration, departmental
meetings, and an informal
coffee hour. A tour of the
campus for past students will be
provided and also election of
alumni officers.
The group will meet again at 2
p. m. in Goldsboro High school
gymnasium to see. the Bisons
win a victory over Davidson
Community College. A mock
parade will be held at half-time
featuring floats from the
various clubs and departments.
First and second place prizes
will be given for the best floats.
Also, at this time will be the
crowning of the college’s first
homecoming queen.
The fun will continue at 8 p.
m. when everyone will be
invited to a dance at the
National Guard Armory. Music
will be provided by a group
from Charlotte, “Freeway.”
Dress will be coat and tie for
men and semi-formal for the
girls. There will be no charge
for the dance,' however tickets
must be picked up at
registration Saturday morning.
There will be no admission
without the proper tickets.
Dianne Casey, Chairman of
the Homecoming, asked that
every student who is willing to
work on floats or to help in any
way please contact their
department chairman or
herself. Much time has been
spent in formulating these
plans. Yet, this will not be a
successful homecoming without
full student participation, adds
chairman Casey.

SGA Serves
Vital Function
The Student Government
Association at Wayne
Community College was formed
in 1966 to bridge the gap
between students and the
administration. Since its
beginning the members of the
SGA have endeavored to
represent the students through
various projects and
adventures.
During the official school
year of 1968-69 the students of
WCC decided that it would be
advantageous to the college
campus if a student union could
be obtained. This seemed only a
dream to many students, but to
others it was a chance to really
do something for the college. A
Student Union Committee was
formed and after many long
hours of planning a decision was
made. This entailed the interest
by the students and the
community in such a project to
support it in hopes that state
funds might be available to aid
in the financing.
Student Union
March
Both the students and the
community showed their
enthusiasm and support on
April 28, 1969, when a Student
Union March was held.
Enthusiasted WCC students
displayed their concern by
participating in the march and
concerned citizens rallied to
support this campaign.
Approximately $25,000 was
raised and the dream of WCC
students began to materialize.
Now after many long hours of
waiting the WCC Student Union
has become a reality. A dream
has come true because of the
interest in the betterment of the
students and the college
campus by the S. G. A.
Basketball

The years 1969^70 found the S.
(;. A. spreading its concern
further on campus when they
agreed to support a basketbaP.
team. It was the belief of many
students that sports could add
greatly to college life. Although
W('C is only a community
college, it was felt that the

College Accredited
Wayne Community College
officially became accredited by
the Southern Association of
Colleges and Schools. The
announcement was made at the
delegate assembly of colleges in
Atlanta recently where SACS
held its 75th anniversary
meeting. President Clyde
Erwin and Dr. Jan Crawford,
administrative assistant,
attended * the session
representing the College.
The accreditation
announcement came after more
than two years in the newest
SACS accreditation procedures.
These include progress from
correspondent, to candidate, to
member, and two visits to the
WCC campus by SACS teams.
Accreditation indicates WCC
meets or exceeds the standards
established by SACS and is
evidence of the growth and
competence of WCC’s faculty
and staff. It places the “Stamp
of approval” on the twenty-four
degree and diploma programs
as well as the many evening and
extension adult activities.
WCC has been accredited by
the State Department of
Community Colleges since 1969
and several programs are
accredited by national
