l l l t l it tl l The Place to be for Fun . . . North Carolina Wesleyan offers stu- dents a wide variety of activities and interests. Since Wesleyan is smaller than a lot of colleges one has the oppor- tunity to be inolved in many aspects of the college. Involvement in such areas as Student Government. Athletics and in various organizations are always welcome. If your interest lies in areas without formal organization one has . the opportunity to form special interest groups. One such group enabled many students to experience white water rafting for the first time. Rocky Mount not only lies between the two metropolitan centers of Florida and New York, but it also lies between the ocean and the mountains of North Carolina. This unique position allows an endless list of possible things to do. One popular possibility was to enjoy Florida during Spring Break this year. Many of Wesleyan's students con- verged upon such popular sites as St. Augustine, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, Cocoa Beach, and everyone's fa- l I I Mix ,,g 3 .af 8' :ff '--'-no-17' ' 'E ,-If ,ff vorite, Disney World. While half of the population of Wesleyan was soaking up the rays on the beaches of Florida, the other half was sliding down slopes of New York and Vermont. Besides the social activities on cam- pus, many students are involved in the community. Two of Wesleyan's largest and most popular organizations in- volved in the community are the lay- cee's and the Volunteers for Youth. All of these aspects come together to make Wesleyan the place to be for fun. , 151, fif- 11 rf Aboveg Rick l,ue takes a pop shot at Dr hlnlxita Bottom leftg Charlie Davis does his as-rolilvs to the beat of lane Fonda A , ,J C Vtfgw ,HN qi!!

V The Place to be for friends . . . When asked what some of the prob- lems are with Wesleyan, the common ' responses are the size and the fact that everybody knows everybody. To the l students, those are the two major bene- r fits. But what about the advantages of ' a larger school? What about them?. at lWesleyan, you are known by your name, where as in a big university, you consist of a bunch of impersonal digits. Knowing everybody is better than not knowing them and having to look over your shoulder every minute. Who wants to share their life with someone they do not know and therefore cannot trust? At Wesleyan, the students, staff, and faculty come together to form one big family.
