71 Insight Gone
It’s gone! The 1971 INSIGHT
is in the hands of the publisher.
In years past, there has been
some delay in returning the
yearbooks to the student body.
This year, however, it is
entirely possible, that they will
be put on display EARLY.
Brantley Watkins, co-editor,
says that at the last though,
things were a little hectic. But
with true team spirit, the
yearbook staff pulled together
and surprised even themselves
by submitting the finished
product a day early.
The question may arise,
“When will the book get back to
WCC?” The answer lies in the
hands of Hunter Publishing
Company. Tentatively, the date
set for distribution is May 15,
1971, five days before exams.
This means that even at that set
date, it will give the staff plenty
of time to set up operations, and
Ihe students five days to find
five dollars, if they have not
purchased a yearbook in
advance.
The Student
'Onion'
Advances
With its large and bleak
interior, students may wonder
what proposals are being made
for the new Student Union, also
called the “Onion.” Here then is
an unofficial list of goals that
will need to be accomplished in
order for WCC to have a
successful Student Union.
The Union itself will not
officially open until the latter
part of February at which time
most, if not all, of the listed
items will be installed.
A wall will go in the Union to
separate the TV area. The
purchase of a rug is also
proposed. A new color television
set with an outside antennae has
already been purchased and
will be installed when the wall
has been erected.
The tables and chairs for the
game room have not arrived
yet, but when they do arrive, it
will give additional tables for
eating and more room for card
playing.
Book and coat racks have
been ordered and will arrive
with the tables and chairs. This
should eliminate the
inconvenience of books being
placed on tables.
Planters are being proposed
to separate and balance the
game area and give life to the
building. Pictures from the old
lounge will be hung on the walls
as soon as possible.
The pool table and football
machine will be separated by
another planter so as to keep the
areas self-regulating.
When the tables and chairs
come in, little room will be left
for any additional games. Some
students have proposed a ping
pong table, yet if this is put in,
the pool table and football
machine will have to go. Only a
limited area can be provided for
games, and ping pong is not a
game limited to a small area.
Although many cannot perceive
the cramped area now, when
the new tables and chairs are
placed in the game room, it will
be obvious that all three games
are not possible. As it is now,
the pool table draws money that
can be used for many ne^ of
the Union, such as landscaping.
However, a ping pong table
draws no money. The decision
will be with the students and
will be decided when the new
tables and chairs are placed
into the Union.
An information booth is being
built that will house game
equipment such as chess,
checkers, and pool cues. This is
Homecoming A Great Success
The weekend of January 15
and 16 was a new adventure for
students at Wayne Community
College as they began enjoying
the college’s first Homecoming.
The Student Government
Association decided during the
Fall Quarter to take on this
Homecoming as a new project
in order to evoke student
partipation. Many letters were
mailed, posters distributed, and
various types of publicity used
to reach WCC alumni.
Miss Jenny Gordon was
crowned Homecoming Queen
by Miss WCC, Sandy Mitchell,
during the half-time
ceremonies. Miss Gordon was
elected by the students and
represented the College
Transfer curriculum. First
runner-up was Penny Davis and
second runner-up was Jean
Brown.
Friday night found students
and some alumni enjoying a
“film festival” featuring the
“Roadrunner” and “Daffy
Duck.” This was followed by a
dance in WCC’s new Student
Union with music provided by
the 100 Percent Nothings.
Registration was held on the
WCC campus Saturday
morning. Campus tours were
directed by various clubs and
organizations of the college.
Departmental meetings were
held and an Alumni Association
formed.
WCC Bisons hosted Davidson
Community College at a
basketball game at Goldsboro
High School gym at 2:00 where
they triumphed over Davidson.
During half-time ten clubs and
organizations participated in a
mock parade featuring floats
made by each individual
organization. The winning float
was constructed by the WCC
Watchmaking Guild. Second
place went to Delta Chi Omega
Fraternity while WCC
Cheerleaders received an
Honorable Mention.
Homecoming Weekend ended
with a dance held Saturday
evening at Goldsboro National
Guard Armory featuring
“Freeway”.
also in the February deadline,
deadline.
Delta Chi Omega Fraternity
has donated and will install an
AM-FM radio, record player,
and possibly an 8-track tape
deck combination to the Union.
It will be installed by the
brothers of the fraternity when
the information booth is in
operation. The Juke Box will
come out, and the music will be
piped in from six speakers
located at various points in the
Union. The unit will also have a
PA system.
A counter is being built for
better service with the
machines. On the back of this
counter, located between the
two posts near the machines,
will be a large bullentin board.
Again, this will give uniformity
to the Union.
The machines are there to
stay. These machines are not
intended to replace a home
cooked meal but are for snacks
only. As soon as all the
problems with machine
maintenance are solved, the
machines should work much
better than did the counter at
the old Student Lounge.
All the dances will be held in
the Union, and unless there are
serious distribances, there will
be no restrictions against going
in and out of the dances. A
portable stage has been
discussed for use in future plays
and dances.
Curtains have been
purchased and have been put
up.
All these proposals will
eventually become reality in the
Union, but patience is needed.
There are exactly five people,
as of now, contributing their
time and energy to the Union.
Therefore, it is difficult to
complete the Union to the
satisfaction of all persons.
If a student wishes to find out
more about his Student Union or
to help with the decoration of
the “Onion,” he should make an
effort to attend one of the
Student Union COommittee
meetings.
