  • Governor & General Assembly Visit WCC LEGISLATORS REMEMBER THE "FEEL" of a student desk as they listened to the Governor's speech. In the background, nearly 1500 students listened to the proceedings. After all, it isn't every day that the Gym is turned into a legislative body in session. One student remarked that this was, "One of the best Lyceum Programs We've ever had." DURING HIS SPEECH, GOVERNOR SANFORD WAS interrupted by applause when he remarked that "this General Assembly ... is reaching for accomplishments that will realize North Carolina's great potentialities." REID GYM UNDERGOES A METAMOR- phosis to become the State House, and the "yeas" and "nays" filled the huqe room during the session. The students sitting in the bleach ers saw how the government of the State is managed from a first hand view. It was in this history making session on WCCs campus that Governor Sanford spoke. DEAN HINDS CHUCKLES AT GOVERNOR'S REMARK during a break in assembly proceedings. Unfortunately, the remark is lost but the day it was made will be remembered for years at WCC. KEN HOLLIFIELD WAS ONE OF 1500 WCC STUDENTS who ate a picnic lunch while the legislature dined in the cafeteria. From the look on his face, he doesn't mind eating out.

HINDS, WAS ever present during the festivities while the legislators visited the campus. Above, he is shown during one of his less exasperating moments. CAFETERIA DISHWASHERS WERE OVERJOYED AT the sight of students eating out of paper bags instead of the usual "thousands" of plates, not to mention the chance to sneak a peak at Gov. Sanford.
