Elect Kern
To Post
Milton Kern, a member of the
junior class at UNC-C, was re
cently named state vice-chair
man of the College Federation of
Young Democrats. Kern was se
lected by acclamation at the con
vention of the 32-Club organiza
tion held Friday, Sept. 24, at the
Queen Charlotte Hotel.
Kern said he was “honored”
and attributed bis election to the
'moderate-liberal sweep” in tbe
intra-party balloting.
The newly elected vice-chair
man will officially take office on
J,an. 1, 1966. He lists as his
prime objectives “tbe promoting
of the purposes and ideals of the
Democratic Party,”
Kern expressed the desire “to
acquaint college students with the
workings of a political organiza
tion and to render assistance to
any individual or college club
when called upon.”
Fiern is a transfer student from
Mitchell College in Statesville.
At Mitchell he was president of
the Student Government Associa
tion, president of the Young
Democrats Club, and was a
member of both the newspaper
and annual staffs.
Other college Democrat leaders
elected during the convention
were: chairman, Larry Robinson
of Wake Forest; secretary, Mar
tha Gainey of UNC-G; treasurer,
Barry Blick of ECC.
ratified by an overwhelming ma
jority of students, was modified
in two ways. The clause “but not
the mandatory obligation” (for
reporting a violator) was de
leted; the word “responsibility”
was replaced by the word “ob
ligation.”
The new code reads:
“Under the honor code you are
on your honor not to cheat, lie,
or steal; and if you see another
student doing so, you have the
obligation of reporting' the indi
vidual and the circumstances to
the appropriate student agency.”
The changes were passed at a
Monday night meeting of the Stu
dent Legislature. The changes
were passed unanimously.
Gus Psomadakis, president of
the student body, said he was
glad the changes had been made.
He said the stronger honor code
would make the faculty more
agreeable to stop proctoring ex
ams. This is all the honor code
is good for any way, he said.
Dean Wahab said he thought
the code should really read strong
er than it will be with the
changes. However, it would be up
to the faculty to decide whether
or not to stop proctoring exams.
Dean Wahab said he was glad
the school was finally getting a
good honor code and system.

‘Germany Approaching Two-Party
System,’ Dr. Seger Tells Students
By RICK DANCY
Journal News Editor
Dr. Gerhart Sege;-, consultant
to the German Information Cen
ter in New York City, spoke to
students in the library auditorium
Wednesday, Sept. 22. Dr. Seger’s
topic was “Germany Since The
Elections.”
The lecture was sponsored by
the UNC-C Chapter of the Col
legiate Council on tl.e United Na
tions.
Dr. Seger emphasized the
“marvelous job” carried on by
the U.S. Military Occupation
Force in Germany following the
end of World War IT. He credited
the U.S., with laying the founda
tions for the now prosperous
Germany.
Dr. Seger briefly explained the
difference between the American
form of government and that
form used in West Germany.
Where the president of the
U.S. is elected for a definite
term of office the German chan
cellor can be ousted by a vote
of , “No Confidence” by the Ger
man Parliament. However prior
to the rendering of a vote of
“No Confidence” the parliament
must select a new Chancellor to
insure a smooth change of of
ficers.
Dr. Seger suggested that West
German politics are becoming
even more like American poli
tics since “Germany, for all in
tents and purposes, is approach
ing a two-party system.”
According to Seger the m^or
issues of the recently held Ger
man elections were of a domes
tic nature and that U.S.-German
relations would not have been al
tered regardless of which major
party — Christian Democrats,
Union, or Social Democrats—
won.
During a question and an
swer period following his pre
pared speech, Seger answered
the question “What is Erhart
planning to do about France’s
Charles De Gaulle?” He said,
“Erhart is in a hell of a fix here,
DeGaulle is a relic of the 19th
century. No European country is
that great a power. However Er
hart wishes to maintain friendly
relations with Germany while re
taining ties with other Western
allies.”

Kay Troutman, a freshman
from Salisbury and Kathy Scat-

man and transfer student from
the College of St. Mary will rep
resent the Charlotte campus of
the Consolidated University in
the “Miss Consolidated Universi

Raleigh.
Miss Troutman and Miss Scat-

ford, publicity director. This
committee has the final word on
the selection of school colors.
The referendum is being held
in order to give the committee a
guideline as to which color the
students prefer.
The committee’s main purpose
in selecting these three colors for
the students’ consideration was to
insure that there would be no
similiqrity of colors within the
University system.
At present the University of
North Carolina at Chapel Hill has
the colors blue and white; gold
and white are worn hy the
University at Greensboro, and
State University’s colors are red
and white.
The traffic situation at the
campus entrance should have
been considerably eased Monday.
According to a Mecklenburg
County Police spokesman, a coun
ty policeman will be stationed at
the entrance for about half an
hour during the main rush in the
morning.
The action was taken after a
collision took place Friday morn
ing. Bad weather conditions and
the long line of cars were blamed.
The Journal asked the county to
supply the school with a police
man from 8 to 8;30 a. m. early
last week. It was understood that
one would be on duty at the en
trance at that time the following
day. The order failed to go
through.
However, after Friday’s wreck,
a Mecklenburg County Policeman
will be present to direct traf
fic.
A county police spokesman said
Friday that only an emergency
call elsewhere would prevent the
patrolman from directing the col
lege traffic.

In addition to the winners, oth
er contestants were Terry Jacobs,
Sandra Haney, Diana (Dee Dee)
Whitney, Jo Le Francois, Paula
Howie, Charlene Crumpley, Mar^
Case, and Carolyn Campaeil.
Winning beauty titles is noth
ing new to Kay Troutman. The
petite brunette presently reigns
as “Miss Rowan County” and
has held several local titles in
the past.
In addition to being beautiful,
Kay is also a talented designer
and seamstress. Most qf the
clothes she wears are her own
creations.
“I am just delighted,” said
Kay having been told tbe judges’
decision. “I think it is especially
wonderful since this is my first
year here.”
With a major in history, Kay
looks forward to teaching and
eventually, a career in public re
lations.
“I was completely shocked,”
exclaimed Kathy Scattergood, the
other UNC-C representative in
the “Miss Consolidated Universi
ty” contest. “I was sure that an
upperclassman would be named.”
But it was Kathy’s combination
of beauty, brains, and beautiful
eyes that made her a popular
choice of the judges from the
beginning of the contest.
A great deal of Kathy’s time
is spent pursuing a major in biol
ogy and preparing for a career
as a medical technologist. She
does find time, however, for her
favorite hobbies — sewing, wa
ter skiing, and cooking a fancy
roast in wine.
The two representatives will
compete with two representa
tives from each of the other
three UNC branches for the title
of “Miss Consolidated Universi
ty.” Final judging wiil take place
Saturday morning, October 9 in
Raleigh and the winner will be
crowned during the half-time of
the Carolina-State football game.
Judges for the UNC-C contest
were the officers of student body,
class presidents. University Un
ion officers, and the editors of
the annual and the Journal.
