Television English A t WCC We all watch television, but is it worth our t(me? Well, if not, it will be soon. Beginning winter quarter, WCC students can learn to write in their homes by watching television. English 112, the second quarter of the freshman composition se quence, will be offered as a tele course during winter quarter. The course will be aired on local cable channel 4, thanks to the coopera tion of Jones Intercable. Students may take the course by registering for it through the Stu dent Development office just as they would for any credit course. The course fully satisfies the require ments of ENG 112, a required course for all students working toward an associate degree. The course consists of 30 one- half hour programs. These will be broadcasted by Jones Intercable. In addition, video cassette copies of each program will be available for viewing in the Special Services Department in the Technical Build ing. For additional information about WCC’s newest telecourse, contact Pete M. Mann at 667-7136, ext. 287. TV OR NOT TV He took his television set to the repair shop and told the clerk, “My TV is busted.” “What seems to be the problem?” “Beats me. There’s no sound and I don’t get no picture.” “Oh . . . That will be about $94 plus parts and labor.” More Sociology Many college transfer students have requested additional sociology courses to meet course require ments at senior institutions. In response to their request, the Hu- manitiesand Social Sciences Depart ment has increased sociology course offerings. According to Chair person Pete Mann, students may now take SOC 201 Introductory Sociology I and SOC 202 Intro ductory II. These courses replace the former one-quarter SOC 211. Students who have taken SOC 211 may want to take SOC 202 to increase their course hours in soci ology to six. By doing so, students may avoid having to take an ad ditional sociology course when they transfer to a senior institution. SOC 202 will be offered winter quarter at 9:30 on T/TTi and in Sparta from 6:00-8:50 on Wednes day. Writing On Computers Is For Everyone A new course, “Writing on Com puters,” promises to increase the quantity of your writing as well as improve its quality. This unique writing course will be taught on computers. Beginning winter quar ter, the Humanities and Social Sciences Department will be taught in the Computer Writing Center, room 726 of the Technical Build ing. ENG 106: Writing on Computers 1 will focus on the use of computers and word processing in composi WILKES COMMUNITY COLLEGE Programs of Study COLLEGE TRANSFER C011 Associate in Arts Degree COOS Associate In Fine Arts Degree - Drama C018 Associate in Science Degree C040 Associate in Science Degree - Pre-Computer Science ASSOCIATE IN APPLIED SCIENCE DECREE .

Students will receive instruc tion in the use of PFS:Write, a popular word processing program. In addition, they will have op portunity to work on individual writing tasks using the computers in the Center. These writing tasks might include term papers, essays, book reviews, and special projects. Students may also work on person al writing projects unrelated to their course work. An instructor will be available to assist students with questions about their writing in addition to helping them use the computers and printers. Several sections of ENG 106 will be offered at different times and in various formats throughout the quarter. Some students may elect to complete the course in one week. Others may choose to take the course over a period of several weeks. Sections of ENG 106 are available both during the day and at night.

Car Tips Cold weather is just around the corner and with it come some special car care needs. Here are some Do’s and Dont’s. Do - make sure that the battery and charging system are in good condition. Clean battery and make connections and make sure the altenator belt is in good shape. Cold weather reduces the batterys efficiency, while at the same time cold stiff engines require more power from the battery. Don’t - wait till the last minute to fill the cooling system with a 50-50 mix of anti-freeze and water. Motors do freeze and burst without adequate protection. Do - make sure that cooling system hoses are in good condition. Check for cracking or swelling of the hoses. Don’t - drive around on slick tires. Many accidents on winter roads are caused by bad tires. Car care is expensive but, the most inexpensive means of main taining your car is to provide good preventative maintenance before the problem occurs. Happy Motor ing. Roger Brown The American Way Rising Sun On the high back of George Washington’s chair was carved a gilded half-sun. On the memorable afternoon after the signing of the Constitution, Benjamin Franklin rose slowly to his feet and, pointing to the half sun on George Washington’s chair, said: “I have often and often in the course of this session, and the vicissitudes of my hopes and fears as to its issue, looked at that . . . without being able to tell whether it was rising or setting; but now at length I have the happiness to know that it is a rising and not a setting sun.” May the sun never set. HEAVEN, NOT HOLLY-WEIRD He was one of Hollywood’s biggest stars and he lived in the fast lane. Perhaps he lived too fast, for he died at an early age and went to heaven. “Where are you from, sirT’asked an angel. “Holly-weird, man, and I set that town on its ear.” “Welcome to heaven, sir, but I don’t think you’ll like it.” IS ONLY A TV SET AWAY!
