Abstract

This interview was conducted by Winthrop student, Debbie Mollycheck, for an article for the Johnsonian (student newspaper) that was published on April 26, 1976 titled, “Webb: “Activities Enhance Education.” Debbie Mollycheck is a Winthrop College graduate with a Bachelor of Arts in 1976 and a Master of Science in 1979 and worked for a time as a student editor for the Johnsonian. She conducted this interview with Thoms O. Webb, Jr. who was the Director of the Dinkins Student Center from 1975-2001. The subject of the interview is the Dinkins Program Board which started during the 1975/1976 academic year with 8 sub-committees and the interview starts with an interview of a student who was running for the 1976/1977 President of the Dinkins Program Board.

The first 4:14 minutes of the recording are of an unknown student (possibly Debra J. Kimbrell, ’77, who served on the 1975/1976 ATS Committee and served as President of the Dinkins Program Board during the 1976/1977 academic year) who was serving on the ATS Committee or the Special Events Committee the year prior (1975/1976) and then ran for President of the Dinkins Program Board for the 1976/1977 academic year. The first interviewee discusses what the Dinkins Program Board is and the 8 committees that it comprises, their role in organization and what the role of the president is.

The recording (00:04:14 – 00:36:01) then switches over to an interview with Dinkin Student Center Director, Tom Webb. Tom Webb discusses the differences between the Dinkins Program Board, the Dinkins Policy Board, and the Dinkins Student Center. He discusses the differences in makeup and the duties of the committees. Tom Webb also discusses the change in social atmosphere that has occurred at Winthrop with the admission of men as students. Webb also talks about the different types of Winthrop students, and the effect that their living situation has on their attendance of Winthrop events.
