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.

and many other people!

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

improve student activities at
WCC. There are 1549 Students
enrolled at WCC and only 249
surveys were answered. The
other 1300 were listed as lack

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 ;

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?

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:

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.
