As long as I keep the thoughts of the best interests of the students first I can plan accordingly in the coming year." Bill Melton is a Junior from Rockingham, N. C.

Concerning her candidacy for Vice- President, Miss Sprung stated, "I am not rash enough to presume it is time for this predominately male campus to have a co-ed Student Body President, but I feel that on the basis of enrollment percentage that WCC is ready for female influence in the executive branch of the Student Government. I feel that the duty of the Student Government is to represent ALL the students on campus and I want to serve the students of WCC in obtaining fairer representation in the Student Government, especially the Day Students, Freshmen, and Co-eds, who make up large groups on the campus and yet seen to receive the least representation." —Continued on page 8
