DEAN The editors of Moderator have hypothesized that the Dean of Stu- dents at any college is the man in the middle. On one side are students vvith their demand, on the other, the administration. They further hypothe- sized that he is powerless to act in matters to satisfy students' demands because he doesn't have the povver. When vve questioned Dr. Wilde about this, he pointed out that quite often the students' complaints can't be re- solved by his otfice because they don't come under his jurisdiction: academic matters come under the dean of aca- demics, financial and housing under the comptroller, records under the registrar, etc, ln these situations, all I can do is listen to the student, advise him of vvho to see and add my voice to his, if the complaint merits atten- tion. lt is important to me that stu- dents come to me with their questions and complaints because I then knovv vvhat problems they are having and can vvork to alleviate them. And then too, the lines distinguishing jurisdiction are not ironclad or even clearly dis- tinguishable in some matters. 01-' STUDENT S d 75 --fi -L-

IS THIS WESLEYAN North Carolina Wesleyan is a four-year, private, liberal arts college, dedicated to introducing you to the breadth of man's knowledge. We believe that a liberal arts education is the most practical of all educations because it provides you with basic understanding that will enable you to enter any field - law or teaching, medicine or the ministry, writing or chemistry. We believe that ideally, education can be the development of our ability to perceive to understand, and to generalize - both Y , upon and beyond your individual experience! We believe that the result of such development can be the continually growing elf and the world in which you capacity for knowledge of yours live. To achieve this we are committed to teaching a lasting respect for truth and beauty, to preparing individual to think creatively and precisely and to act wisely and responsibly. As an institution of higher education, our prime purpose is to awaken and develop the intellect. But we are aware that intel- lectual capability without direction of context is sterile. Con- sequently, we encourage you to have as your ultimate goal becoming an able and eager contributing member of con- t rar society. You will be urged to develop not only your empo y intellectual power, but your social understanding as well. We are a Christian college by choice - and as our president Thomas A. Collins, states, without apology. We feel that Christianity is as much a part of man's past, his present, and his future as is the fact that he lives and breathes. 4 5 131,116
