SPRING BUG COMES TO WCC
It seems the spring bug has
finally reached WCC campus.
Everyone knows that spring is the
time for lovers and this spring is
no exception. Not only are the
birds and the bees into loving, but
so are a lot of students. WCC’s
halls, library, commons, stairs,
and the parking lot have recently
been graced with loving couples
holding hands and
Yes, Spring has come.
The warm breeze and hot sun
make it very difficult to make
classes on time, if at all. Even the
faculty has loosened up after the
long hard winter.

Update On
The New Buildings
All structural parts of the new
buildings, such as walls, electrici
ty, plumbing, and other architec
tural work have been approved by
the state inspectors. Everything
pertaining to the buildings except
curbing and guttering is complete.
This will be completed shortly and
must also be inspected.
The Board of Trustees say that
the buildings are incomplete until
all landscaping and parking areas
are finished, but this is being
worked on steadily.
The Child Care Center must be
licensed by the state before it is
approved for operation. This,
hopefully, will be done by late fall
of this year.
The guidelines for determining
the eligibility of children to attend
the facility have yet to be
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if the
people who lost their tempers
couldn’t find them again?
They’re Going To Be Fixed
The roads that go through the
front parking lot have really been
taking a beating this winter.
However, the time has come for
the roads to be fixed. Collegiate
Drive is a state maintained road
up to the point of the concrete;
the school is responsible from this
line on. The roads are to be
patched temporarily at an estima
ted cost of $400.00. However, in
the near future, when the new
buildings are completed, the roads
will be repaved at an approximate
cost of $10-20,000. The funding
for this comes from the parking
tickets often found on cars here at
W.C.C.
Out With Long-
John’s, In With
Hot Pants
One way to tell spring has
reached the WCC campus is to
observe the change in the students
and dress. Gone are the heavy
wollen socks, long coats, boots,
and long-john’s. These are
replaced by halter tops, hot pants,
midriff blouses, tee-shirts and
bare-feet. Since WCC has no
dress code anything goes.
Everyone seems to be in a
joyous mood now that the warm
weather has finally arrived. Class
cutting and tardiness doesn’t seem
to be such a terrible ordeal
anymore. Faculty members have
even been caught sunning on the
steps.

determined. Also to be determin
ed is who will make the final
decision. It was suggested that it
will probably be a joint effort of
the Life Science Department,
Early Childhood, and the Admin
istration. The children approved
will probably be one-third from
the faculty, one-third from the
students, and one-third from the
community, but this is not
definite.
The Board of Trustees have
awarded the Vending Machine
bids to Dermox, Inc., of
Taylorsville, N. C. They are now
working on the interior part of the
Vending area.
