Winston-Salem State Uni
versity (WSSU) graduates of
1975 may have a good chance
of getting jobs, according to
the Placement Director. “If
his qualifications are good and
he is willing to relocate, his
chances of finding employ
ment are good,” Edward
Andrews said in a recent
interview.
Andrews warned, however,
that merely holding a degree
does not insure a job.' “The
degree will not open the
door,” he said. “It is more of
a calling card.” He explained
that the degree simply tells
the employer what the degree
holder wants, not what he can
do.
Students can increase their
chances for employment by
planning their careers early
while in college, Andrews
suggested. “Many students
don’t do that,” he said. “They
just come and take courses.”

A proposal to permit a form
of co-educational visitation on
an experimental basis has
been accepted by the Student
Personnel Division, Admin
istrative Council, Chancellor
Kenneth R.Williams and the
Executive Committee of the
Board of Trustees. The
decision came in the March 13
monthly meeting of the Board.
The experiment is to be
conducted during the fall term
of the 1975-76 academic year.
However, student body
President, W. Ray Williams,
who voted against the
proposal, stated that the
majority of students did not
favor the proposal as
accepted. “Most students
rather have nothing at all than
the form that was accepted”,
he said.
According to the guidelines
and recommendations, the
visitation program is to be
evaluated during and at the
pnd of the trial period by the
Director of Student Affairs,
Dr. Sylvester Wooten, to
determine if it is to be
continued. Approval for con
tinuation must be received
from the Administrative
Council, Chancellor, and
Trustees.
Dr. Wooten, Director of
Student Affairs, said that he
felt some kind of trial period
was necessary and if the trial
period was successful the
program would be extended
and then it would become
more open.
According to the program
guidelines the Dean of
Women, Mrs. Ruth Greene
will select one dormitory for
women in which co-ed
