From time to time at W.C.C.
we students find our choice of
elective courses broadening as a
need is felt for a special subject.
Mr. Mayes has added one more
subject to the list, “Introduc
tion to Drama.” Although this
class is regular college work, it
should be one of the more in
teresting in the college cur
riculum. The only real “busy”
work is the writing of four papers
or short reports per week on
critical reviews. Three of these
can be read from a newspaper or
magazine while the fourth must
come from the student’s personal
review of the material. In re
gular class the student will be
able to write, act, or direct a
scence. Special work may also be

Students Return
At thebeginningof winter quar
ter there are some six hundred
students enrolled at Wilkes Com
munity College. In addition to this
number, approximately one hun
dred students are expected to be
enrolled in W.C.C. extension
classes scattered over the six
county area.
According to Tom Whittington,
college registrar, there are about
forty new students enrolled this
quarter. Whittington attributed
the drop-off in student registra
tion to the fact that some part-
time students traditionally with
draw from school in the winter
months.
Following is a compilation of
student enrollments according to
the home county or state of the
student: .
Wilkes 222, Watauga 17, Ashe

Maybe
It was learned from Dr.
Thompson in a recent interview
that movement of the school to
the new campus will be delayed
at least a few weeks more.
Dr. Thompson blamed the de
lay on the inclement weather of
the past couple of months. He
said that the actual building con
struction was progressing well,
but due to the muddy and frozen
condition of the surrounding area
there has been very little pro
gress in the building of roads
and parking lots. And it would be
impractical to move into the new
building until adequate parking
space can be provided.
Everyone connected with the
construction of the campus is
doing everything possible to has
ten the completion of the building
complex. But unfortunately the
weather has not been cooperat
ing, and the best that can be
done is to work as the weather
permits.
As it stands now the plans are
to move sometime during this
quarter. And when we get moved
into the new buildings and start
enjoying the modern facilities of
the new campus, we feel sure
that it will have been worth the
long wait.
