Smith's third female SGA president since the University's very first existence. The first female president was elected during the early 1900’s and the second one, Gail Dry of Charlotte held office for the school term 1972-73. Wanda, who ran against two distinguished males for the office of the presidency, unan imously swept the votes. When asked why she wanted to run for such a taskful position of JCSU's president of SGA, Wanda commented, "I feel the presence of an apathetic atm osphere amongst the students on campus There is an under current of concern It is this undercurrent that caused me to run in the first place.'' Wanda feels that by being a female she will encounter many problems concerning the many functions that her position entails However, she looks upon herself as being “two beings-human and fe male I feel that the human part of Wanda Hail ...Rising junior me can do the job as effective ly as any other human being But I feel that the female in me will add class to my adminstration." Wanda goes on to say, "1 don t feel that anyone should try to stereo type people and th**'- r*1 ' jj ties based on their sea Any type of successful accomplish ment is made only through the efforts of hard work and self discipline Wanda is a very optimistic individual with strong ideas As for the basis of her phiios phy of wanting to achieve she stated that she owes much to a quote of Jesse Jackson which states, "It is not your aptitude, but your attitude that deter mines your altitude " "I see that," expressed Wanda, "there is a need for change in the attitudes of many Smith students. I realize that a com plete change cannot happen overnight, but I want to be the one who will at least start it."

Smith Univer Mercy Hospital Is Looking For Volunteers Delivering mail, escorting patients in wheelchairs or helping them pack to go home, talking with anxious families in surgical, emergency and critical care waiting areas, running the Gift Shop, writing letters, .and making beds - these are just a few of the countless jobs performed by volunteers at Mercy Hospital. There 'are always plenty of jobs, but not always enough volunteers to go around. Throughout the month of April, the hospital's Auxiliary is hoping to increase its mem bership of volunteers by por moting ''Think Pink" Month. The slogan was suggested to call attention to the volun teers’ pirjk uniforms. During the "Think Pink" campaign, Auxiliary mem bers are-wearing pink paper camatioiis wherever they go - to the store, church, garden club, and while working at the hospital. By calling to the attentionof others the need for hospital Volunteers, they hope to increase Auxiliary memb ership by 75. There are currently 130 members' for the volunteer organization. Last year, adult volunteers donated 13,500 hours of seryjce and raised over $6,000 to bene fit Mercy Hospital. They will donate $10,000 to the hospital in May. “The qualities we're looking for," says Auxiliary President Mrs. Marbara Pemello, "are a desire to be of service to 1 others, combined with com passion, understanding, and a willingness to work." She adds "Volunteering is prob ably one of the most reward ing thing anyone could ever do " Active Auxiliary members are expected to give at least 4 hours of volunteer service per week.
