Harrison ignites SGA by Martha O'Neal In May 1987, the Executive Board of the Student Government Asso ciation elected Holly Allan Harrison as President of the student body of Wayne Community College. In the past the SGA was run by advisors because of a lack of student partici pation. Harrison's persis tant efforts to rejuvenate the SGA convinced advisors that students were ready to take care of their own SGA. Whether he had to dress like a she-wolf stripper at an SGA conference or clank around in mouse attire adorned with metallic buttons (for the Send a Mouse to College fund raiser), he managed to attract attention as well as many smiles. At the 1988 spring quarter conference in Raleigh, Harrison was the respectable, suit-clad. State Parliamentarian by day and the white-wigged, sun-glassed, loudly dressed party-goer by the night's dance. Through his enthusiasm Harrison involved many students, faculty and staff in events and activities SGA offered. Jerry Kornegay states. "Holly has led the SGA from a five- or six-person orga nization to full campus participation. He set examples by not being just an organizer but a partici pant." During the past few quarters the Student Gov ernment has reconstructed its constitution to allow students flexibility and growth. Holly Harrison took a non-prospering organiza tion and turned it into an organization that- students ! can truly benefit from. ■ • * Softball team wins second in conference, tournament by Renee Hill The newly-formed Wayne Community College softball team had a rough beginning but still came in second place in conference and tournament play.
