NCSSL Meets In Raleigh
(North Carolina State
Student Legislature) Meets in
Raleigh.
On March 16-19, the North
Carolina State Student
Editor Resigns
Many thanks go to John
Barden for his hard work as
editor of the WCC Com
munique’. Barden has resign
ed his editorship this quarter
due to his limited time. As a
student in WCC’s college
transfer program, Barden
carries a full-time, load plus
he has a job. He did not feel he
had the time required to fulfill
the responsibilities of editor.
Legislature held its’ annual
convention at the Holiday Inn
in Raleigh. Wayne Com
munity College was
represented by a delegation
consisting of John Prevette
and Stephen Diehl.
Of all the colleges and
Universities {ffesent only two
community colleges were
represented. This should
make us at Wayne Community
College proud of the fact that
pur school is getting Statewide
recognition, and striving to
participate more actively in
intra-state collegiate con
cerns.
A follow up report will
appear in the next issue of the
“communique” giving details
and reports of the convention.

came up with two of their best
workers as editor and
assistant editor.
Diehl and Whitesell have
worked with the staff since
winter quarter. Both have
worked diligently to make the
paper one of the best yet. In
their new positions they plan
to work even harder on the

Student Volunteer
Services
The Students of Wayne
Community College possess
many talents and skills which,
if properly directed, can help
to overcome some of Golds
boro’s poverty problems. The
Wayne Community College
Student Volunteer Service will
provide that direction. The
service is coordinated with the
Wayne Action Group and
hopes to aid the community’s
disadvantaged citizens, as
well as give students practical
job-related experience.
There is an unlimited
number of community ser
vices which our students can
provide. For examples,
business majors can aid in
community planning and
research, as well as consumer
education. Nursing and dental
students will have the op
portunity to meet and spe^
witli low-income groups to
discuss various methods of
hygiene. Those interested in
pursuing careers in social
work can gain actual field
experience by assisting
professional social workers.
Students planning careers in
education can gain experience
in tutoring disadvantaged
children and assisting in Head
Edwards continued his con
tinental education in Switz
erland where he earned the
equivalent of a Master’s
Degree. Returning to N. C.,
Edwards began a doctoral
program in linguistics at the
University of North Carolina
but later had a change of in

rehabilitation counseling. Mr.
Edwards resigned his position
at Cherry Hospital just three

^t-'^“grass roots” type cam
paign and wishes to be the
“people’s choice”. During his
recent visit to Wayne Com
munity College, candidate
Edwards arrang^ to make a
public announcement (filmed
by Channels 7 and 9), concern
ing his campaign. He stated
that he would not accept
contributions from large,
moneyed interests since too
often such contributors expect
favors after an election. Ed
wards is presently conducting
another of his campaign
tactics - The Long Walk -

start classes. There is also a
great need for students in the
Executive and Medical
Secretary programs to assist
with office work at the com
munity center.
These are only suggestions,
however, for there is always a
need for the imaginative
student who sees an unnoticed
problem and develops his own
method for tackling it.
A major goal of the program
is to provide students with the
opportunity to utilize the skills
they learn in the classroom.
Employers always look
favorably upon such job-
related experience.
Due to his present work
quarter Jerry Kornegay has
resigned his office as GA
president. His great work will
be continued by the new
president, Jim Bahen. Elected
as vice-president of the SGA
this past spring. Bahen is
presently enrolled in the
Fishing and Wildlife program
here at WCC. Jim will be serv
ing as co-captain of WCC’s
golf team this season. Ex
president of the Fishing and
Wildlife Club, Bahen has
shown much participation in
this club as well as the whole
college. When asked his
opinion of the progress of this
year’s SGA has been a partial
success. Bahen will be
working hard this quarter to
make it the most successful
quarter yet.
