2 WCC CAMPUS VOICE - NOV. 14,1990 Letter from the President The 1990-91 school year at Wayne Community College got o-f-f to a great start •fall quarter with record enrollment and lots o-f activities -for new and returning students, •facul ty, and sta-f-f. Our -fall enrollment o-f 2,405 was the highest in the history o-f the college, and with this large number of students came a higher degree o-f participation in the classroom and in extracurricular activities. Some inconveniences have resulted -from serving such a large body o-f students on a two-campus operation during a year o-f budget cuts -for a11 state agencies, including WCC. These inconveniences, however, are a small price to pay -for the opportuni ties which exist at our institution, and ef-forts continue at both the local and the state levels to improve the services we o-f-fer. Funding -for new campus construction was preserved, and work is underway on two new buildings on our North Campus. Completion o-f these buildings will enable more than 90'/ o-f WCC's operation to take place on the permanent site. Meanwhi1e, we will strive -for -funding to construct the third building and of-fer all of our services on the North Campus as soon as possible. To help WCC meet the need or additional -funding, the Foundation o-f Wayne Commun i ty Col 1ege i s conducting its third annual -fund drive on campus and in the community. So -far, Foundation volunteers have raised more than $550,000, and they are working hard to meet their goal o-f $100,000 -for this year. At the state 1eve1 , e-f-forts are also underway •for improved -funding. From all across North Carolina, corwnunity leaders and concerned citizens have gotten together to -form an organization called North Carolinians -for Community Col 1eges. Many distinguished state leaders belong to this organization, including •former governors Holshouser, Hunt, San^ford, and Scott. Our local representative in the organization is Edwin B. Borden, a strong advocate of education at all levels. North Carolinians for Community Colleges will be become increasingly more 4 V- i 1 <? *. jjlH^ BrJ'" '■'v ??sS^VA'. 1 .w-JMi I'J.

Watk i ns The Student Government Association held its first dance of the year on Sep tember 19, 1990, at the Juke Box. The club was open just for WCC students and their gufests from 9:00 p.m. unt i1 12:00 a.m. The dance unfortunately was not without problems, according to college officials and S6A representatives. Vandalism occurred in the men'’s restroom, and several people tried to start fights. When college officials stopped the dance, fights then erupted in the parking 1 ot. The following day the SGA discussed the situa tion, forming a task force to establish policies for future dances. Students on the task force include Derek Eubanks, chair; Mike Suggs, ex officio member; Ronald Lane, Cindy Moerie, Walter Dawson, and Lorane Roberts.
