Editorial Policy The staff of the Wayne Communique looks forward to this year’s paper with much an ticipation. We invite all to contribute to your paper. At this time I will explain some of the policies of the Communique. As reporters, the staff will present facts to you from an unbias^ position. We are not here to taint the news or let you see only our side of it. Truth in reporting is a must. Our concern, of course, will always be the student, school-related functions, and the promotion of involvement. Editorials will be considered for publication whether harsh or complimentary. Editorials will be open to all students to express their opinions on any subjects. Although all editorials may not be published all opinions will be considered. Finally the paper will concern itself with the student and his contributions. If you know of a club, group, or individual who has done something to warrant recognition, then please let the staff know. All articles, opinion, or questions can be given to the staff by means of a basket located in the Student Union. Please feel free to use it at any time; this is your paper. GEORGE BELL Acting Editor Welcome for New Students On behalf of the entire staff involved in in struction at Wayne Community College, I would like to welcome you to your college. Wayne Community College is truly your college in terms of instruction. Each insfructor, administrator, and staff member is responsible to you for his employment, just as you are responsible for taking an active part in those college activities designed by and for you. This condition of in terdependence allows Wayne Community College to be student oriented. We are dependent upon you for the success we have as educators. You are dependent upon us for certification that you have satisfied the requirements of a particular program, course, diploma, or degree. I feel that this will be the biggest and best year Wayne Community College has enjoyed and hope that this is your best year as well. The College is committed to a systematic approach to instruction designed to cause learning. This ap proach requires each instructor to identify the objectives to be accomplished in each course, the level at which they must be performed to satisfy course requirements, and the conditions under which evaluation is to occur. If you know what is to be done, how it is to be done, and what meas ures will be used so you and the instructor know it has been done, the need for superstitious behavior on your part will be eliminated. This approach does not alter standards or guarantee success, but it should clarify what is to be done and why it is done. The goal of the entire instructional area staff for this academic year is to provide meaningful educational experiences for all students who enroll. If this goal is not realized, it will be largely our fault. By enrolling at Wayne Comniunity College you have agreed to accept responsibility for behaving as effective students. This behavior requires you to participate actively in the learning process, voice your opinions, and seek additional assistance any time it is needed. Welcome to your Community College! CHARLES C. POINDEXTER Dean of Instruction Dean of Students’ Message jAqs \ ■ti COMFL The eighteen month program in Watchmaking at Wayne Community College is the only instruction of this kind at any community college in the state. A student may earn a diploma as a Machinist at Wayne Community College in twelve months. Wayne Community College trains students to become Electrical Linemen in nine months. Wayne Community College is one of the few institutions in eastern North Carolina to provide instruction in Diesel Engines. Industrial Engineering Technology is a new two-year degree program at Wayne Community College, starting September 1971. Instruction in Electronics Thoughts Lost Onward, onward in blind wrath. Occasionally lost, From follov^g no path. Running, running to the summers’ sun to winter’s frost. Be Informed Engineering Technology at Wayne Community College costs the student less than a dollar a day. Students may learn about computer operation in the Electronic Data Processing program at Wayne Com munity College. Cost is no more than the other training. Business related programs at Wayne Community College includes Business Ad ministration, Accounting, Medical Secretary, Electronic Data Processing, and Executive Secretary. Wayne Community College is the only community college in North Carolina that teaches Aviation Maintenance. Electronics Engineering ‘ graduates from Wayne Community College have been readily employed. High School graduates may receive Nurse’s Aide training at Wayne Community College. The course takes only three months. Wayne Community College had 140 students studying Forestry and Wild Life in 1970. Even more are expected in the Fall of 1971. Time is ever present? There is no present, Save for the word. The stillness has never occurred. Now, is past and gone. As the night is to the dawn. The memory of a thought. But a mere recollection. Suddenly lost by time’s distortion. FRED STEIN Relax in SU Wayne Community College Student Union is a great place to relax whether you’re eating, talking with a friend, (daying cards or pool, or watching T.V. The Student Union will be open to all students, faculty, and staff, and we hope that you will make good use of it. You will find a friendly atmosphere whenever you visit the union, with student workers at all times, striving to make it a fun place to go. w A MESSAGE TO STUDENTS I hope by now I’ve been given the opportunity to personally welcome each one of you, both new and returning students, to Wayne Com munity College. If not, I hope that I’ll be able to do so in tiie very near future. At this time, however, I would like to give you a chance to relax and, for the first time, to feel that you are now a member of a community of individuals — Faculty, Students, and Ad ministrators — all of whom have and strive toward a common ideal — that of education! Education in an institution of higher learning has several unique connotations which distinguish the same from that which you’ve been exposed to in the past. As you’ve already been informed, WCC operates for and with students. Our faculty and staff are here to serve and cooperate with you and the education we offer has been designed specifically for you. We feel that education is and should be 9 learning experience through which one gains exposure to a broad spectrum of disciplines in cluding not only the academics but also social activities, athletics, and various other modes of character and leadership development. Consequently, we expect this exposure which we provide to more fuUy develop the individual in a manner such that a graduate of ours is able to leave this world of academy and to successfully compete with others in his chosen field of endeavor. Members of our community encourage academic ex cellence and recognize ac complishments attained in the classroom. We do not stop with the classroom, however, for we also encourage par ticipation in and involvement with the so-called ex tracurricular “activities”. If one of us observes a spark of interest or some latent talent in another member of this community, we do not snuff it out or attempt to further conceal it; rather, we kindle and nurture it from its em bryonic stage to the point at wliich it will survive and continue to expand in dependently. We need and seek the cooperation and participation of each and every member of the com munity. Likewise, we desire to make use of and to develop every talent or ability that our members possess. Many new students soon discover after arriving on campus that, through in volvement, they can gain as much satisfaction from guiding a piece of legislation through the Student Govern ment Association channels or by coordinating a social ac tivity as they can from earn ing an “A” in one of their academic courses. This does not mean that we encourage students to place any activity ahead of their academic work, but it does mean that we recognize the fact that such activities can offer much for an individual. But, like academic work, one must be actively involved in order to gain the maximum from the resources available. Hie Student Government Association is only one of the areas in which students can become involved. Several social, fraternal, and honor OTgainzations and clubs exist at WCC and new members are always being sought. For those interested in publications, both the year book and campus newspaper offer invaluable opportunities. In addition, WCC maintains both intramural and in tercollegiate athletic programs and all interested candidates are given equal opportunities to demonstrate their skills. Other activities are available at the College and if an individual or a grotq) of individuals would prefer to initiate a new organization or activity, such can be arranged. The office of the Dean of Students has a competent and interested staff that is willing to work with anyone who bothers to exert oiough energy to pass through its doors. Please allow me to once more stress the fact that our education does not end with the classroom. A multitude of (^portunities for involvement exists at WCC and still more resources are available for tapping. Whether your in terests lie in government, publications, research, or just plain fun, we have something for you. Please stop by at your convenience any time during the coming year and allow us to discuss such matters with you. Again, a hearty welcome and best wishes for success wliUe at WCC. CHARLES W. WALLER Dean Want A Voice In Your School? Freshman, what is your opinion of Wayne Community College? As you attend school here you vrill form an opinion of WCC. Will your decision be a positive or negative one? The school itself, the faculty and staff, and the other students are all important factors affecting this decision. As an officer of the Student Government, I am greatly concerned with your im pression of WCC. I hope that you will not only enjoy attend ing the school, but also be proud of it. However, we cannot have this type of school without the support of the students. Your SGA is here to serve you; its officers are the tools of the students. But they function only when they are used by the students. Therefore, if you have an opinion of something that needs attention, do not keep it to yourself! Do something to help improve the school! Participate in school ac tivities. Elections of SGA representatives are just around the comer. Why not run? Certainly, this would be a great opportunity for YOU to help improve your school. If you feel that you are not qualified to hold such a position, then consider those running and support those best qualified. You want someone who will support you, the student, in the SGA. In selecting represen tatives, I strongly urge you to be concerned and participate. Together we can all make Wayne Community College one of the greatest!
