SGA Questionnaire
Responses
WCC Represented at
NCCCCSGA Meeting
During the last week of May, a
student questionnaire was distri
buted by the Student Government
Association. The purpose of this
questionnaire was to find out
what the students were interested
in and to help the 1976-1977 SGA
plan suitable activities for WCC
students.
The following are the statistics
from the questionnaire;

other 40(18%)

become an annual affair?
Yes 290(93%)
No 22 ( 7%)
Most of the suggestions
centered around improving the
Commons with music, such as
getting a juke box. The SGA is in
the process of getting bids for a
juke box for next year.
The ping pong table is a
controversial issue. Many of the
night students want to get rid of
the existing table. Day students,
however, want another table.
WCC had two ping pong tables at
the beginning of the year. The
SGA would have to pay for
another ping pong table if enough
students feel another one is
needed.
The scheduling of classes was
another item brought up. Many
feel it is bad to start school late in
the fall quarter because it ends
late in the spring and many
students cannot find jobs. The
Board of Trustees makes de
cisions on scheduling matters but
there is a good possibility that
classes will start later in the
morning next fall quarter.
There were a few complaints
that the SGA did not have enough
dances. There were questions
about where all the money from
the activity fee went. The last
SGA decided on the following
percentages from the activity fee:
55% for the yearbook; 30% for
the SGA, 15% for the newspaper.
This is after the Athletic
Department takes out $3 per
quarter from the activity fee.
Proposals not to put out a
yearbook next year as an
experiment, to put out a better
newspaper on a more frequent
basis, and have the SGA put on
more activities are being studied
for recommendation to the Board
of Trustees.
The SGA would like to thank
the students that took time to fill
out the questionnaires and
respond with many helpful
comments and suggestions. The
SGA will try very hard to meet the
needs of the students to make
Wilkes Community College a
better place for everyone.

The North Carolina Compre
hensive Community College Stu
dent Government Association
(NCCCCSGA) held a workshop
on leadership skills for all SGA
Presidents in Raleigh, June 5, at
the Department of Community
Colleges. Bill Wall, President of
the WCC SGA, attended this
workshop.
Cam Abernathy, NCCCCSGA
President, welcomed the delegates
from twelve other community
colleges and discussed the pro
blems of apathy and indifference
in the community colleges.
Barry Adams, intern for
student government counseling,
discussed the issues of organi
zational development and ex
amined concepts of team build
ing, decision-making processes,
delegation of responsibility, and
effective communication patterns.
A monthly NEWSLETTER
program was set up to inform all
the community colleges of the
activities the SGA has been
involved with.
SGA Sponsors Dance
On June 2 the SGA and the
Circle K Club of WCC sponsored
a semi-formal dance at the
National Guard Armory.
The featured band was Rhythm
Method from Winston-Salem
(No, it was not a Catholic group).
Approximately 200 people were
at the dance, which also held a
limbo contest. The winner was
Robin Dixon.
The dance raised money for the
Circle K Club which is planning a
trip to Washington, D.C. for the
twenty-first annual Circle K
International Convention. The
convention will convene August
15-18.
Special thanks to Richard
“Deputy Dawg” Jones who
provided security for the dance.
WCC Summer Registration
A new registration system has
been started at WCC for the
summer quarter. Block courses
are being offered as well as
regular course offerings.

regarding date and time.”
The Wilmer Mizell for Con
gress Committee spokesman re
plied: “Our committee is ex
ploring all possibilities of the vital
issues of this campaign and
certainly your generous offer will
be part of these possibilities.
However,...a debate at this time
would be premature in that Mr.
Neal has a Primary for the
Democrat Nomination for Fifth
District Congressman.”
