The Tower, made possible by a $350,000 alumni fund raising effort, is the symbol of the WCU centennial year. Having been in planning for several years, the tower is being completed by the F.N. Thompson Construction Company of Charlotte. According to Jim Manring, Alumni Director for WCU, "Completion of the Alumni Tower is running late due to the heavy summer rains." Problems also arose with the special bricks needed for the base of the Tower. The completion date is as of yet undecided. "We are looking for ways to further enhance the Tower's appearance," says Man- ring. Approximately 95 percent of the funds necessary to construct the Tower have come directly from Alumni. Manring feels that this illustrates the pride of former WCU students. Included in the dedication will be music from the WCU band, a performance of an original composition by senior Mary McCartt, and the first ringing of the carillon. Bill Dodgen, president of the WCU Alumni Association, will make the opening remarks. Presenting the Alumni Tower to WCU will be Max Hopper, chairman of the Tower Project.
