Page 2—The Wayne Communique, WCC, Goldsboro, N. C., March 1, 1972 Dreadful Disease Life On Campus By JOHN BARDEN A strange disease has been cited on campus! It’s origin is unknown, however similar cases have been detected at other schools and institutions. The first signs of its effects were shown in various individuals and the disease has been known to overcome large groups. All the symptoms of the disease seem to be basically the same: first the infected begins to lose interest in this daily routines; then he gradually begins, as the disease grows more intense, to lose con fidence in his abilities to work Wiggs Speaks Out! “Many students don’t know that it takes much time and careful planning to have a successful dance. It also must have cooperation from the students and the staff. There is an old saying, “United we stand — divided we fall”. It is the truest statement that has ever been made. Miss W.C.C. Dance has proven to me that students are united better than any other time in the history of this school.” Special Tribute Much hard work and many long, long hours were spent on the 1972 WCC annual. With the necessary co-operation of around fifteen staff and other fellow students the annual was sent to the publishing com pany in Winston-Salem, February 9. The help received by all was much appreciated, but special recognition should be given to Jean Edgerton, our annual’s editor, for the time, money, patience, worry, and hard work she put into it. I feel she should be thanked and given special recognition students and faculty of Wayne Community College. ROMA MASON (an annual staff member) and many other people! Santana Comments Tlie Student Government here at Wayne Community College has provided little Interest for the students. They are so concerned with the “Student legislature” that they have forgotten the students here at WCC. Students held responsible are your SGA representatives. If you feel that your SGA representatives are not representing you, he or she can be recalled. Another point to consider, is that students are like taxpayers, they pay an activity fee of five dollars every quarter and they feel they should get something in return. with others; his vision grows worse — he cannot see where his responsibilities and duties lie; then comes the final phase — he simply gives up his existence and participation in the world around him. Slyly and wickedly it hides behind every darkened corner, corridor and wall, hiding, waiting, to strike out at its next unususpecting victim. The results of this disease are extremely hazardous to our campus: its’ force has the power to disrupt social union; it can completely destroy any type of organization; it is toown to have been deterent to communication; and it’s results block any attempt towards achieving progress. How can such a destructful disease be allowed to continue its devastating effects? Simple. For there is no cure, because we just don’t care enough to do something (an aspect which is thought by many to be the very nature of the disease itself.) The disease — apathy. Has it ^fected you? Tally On Students Opinions On January 24 a student survey was sent out to all students to give their opinions on what could be done to improve student activities at WCC.

Tlie Unimportant One student upon reading this article, had this comment to make: “The man is telling the truth, but don’t take my word for it, if you’ve read this far you are dumber than I am. If I am dumb enough to read only the top part, and you’ve read this part also, then you ; are not only dumb, but you are : a funny dummy. If this makes : sense, you’ve really got an incredible imagination or i you’re a nut.” signed, G.E. NIUS completed until further plans for the campus have been completed. But can’t someone see to the scraping of.the roads? It is also understood that WCC has a road scraper and it is the responsibiity of the college to maintain the roads. Can someone please learn to drive the scraper and help the poor cars? I Shop In I I Goldsboro I these sentences are of little value. Correction: of no value. After having read the headline, then, why have you gotten tois far? Curiosity? Stupidity? Who knows... The fact remains, however. Tell somebody not to do a certain thing, and it will be done. This “don’t touch, wet paint” syndrome makes one want to find out, makes one want to be sure. So... be sure. But the paragraphs following that headline above are unimportant. Don’t read them again. THE WAYNE COMMUNIQUE The Wayne Communique is published monthly for the students of WCC under the sponsorship of the Student Government Association. The opinions expressed here do not necessarily represent those of the Board of Directors, Staff or Faculty of WCC. The staff for this month’s issue are as follows: Editor: John Barden Proof Reader: Jean Edgerton Typist: John Whitesell Dean Sauls Reporters: Roma Mason Dean Sauls Victor Santana Steve Diehl Judy Fulghum WCC Leader In State Legislation High Cost Of Pot licensed: doctor, dentist, CBA, engineer, lawyer, ar chitect, realtor, barber, osteopath, physical therapist, masseur, pharmacist, private detective, teacher, funeral director, stock broker. He can never get a job where he has to be bonded or licensed; he can’t work for the city, county, or federal government. He can enlist in military service, but will not have a choice of service and will probably be assigned to a 4abor battalion. If this happened to you, would you feel you had lost anything? —Copied At a time when student apathy is a dominant factor on campus, it is found that there are stiU students who are concerned with how to better the students position in life. One such organization is the North Carolina State Student Legislation. N.C.S.S.L.’s purpose is to give students a voice in government. The group meets in Raleigh and takes over the running of the state. As proof of this fact: The General Assembly is given all the bills passed by the N.C.S.S.L. and then passes 40 percent to 90 percent of these bills into state law! WCC has been given the job of minority leader with John Rrevette as the Senator in this role. Prevette had this to say. “As one of the strongest Community Colleges in N.C., we were the natural choice. We have a tremendous job ahead of us. We are putting a bill on the floor and we are hoping to get it passed. The bill is that the President of the S.G.A. will be a voting member of the Board of Trustees. We are having our next conference in Raleigh March 15-19 at the Holiday Inn. I now have a big problem. I don’t have five delegates. If anyone is interested in being a member please see me. The One And Only-- Dean Waller In the regular course of events, things occur that seem impossible to overcome. At least that is the way it seems to several students at Wayne Community College. Students who are active in school events and activities always run into problems. Who do they turn to? The one and only - DEAN WALLER. It is about time that students and faculty become aware of all that Dean Waller does around this campus. There have been times that many students would never have made it through the day if he had not stepped in and waived his “magic wand.” When it looks hopeless. Dean Waller is the man! At least that is the way the Student Activities and Communication Committee feels. Clean Up WCC Mrs. Ruth E. Boyer of the English department has suggested a worthwhile project for students and faculty of Wayne Community College. She suggests that students and faculty aid in cleaning up the campus and buildings of WCC. Paper, chewing gum wrappers, bottles, cans, and other trash is all over the entire campus. Mrs. Boyer suggests that visitors to the campus would be impressed by a clean and neat looking school, and students might like the campus that way. Mrs. Boyer’s idea has merit. If she can help clean up our campus, why can’t students do so too ? Think about it the next time you see trash littering our campus. E5& » / TfelvtC WASHBOfiRP ^
