Kids Get Intimate
Earlier—Hornick
University Party Gains
By PAT REID
Journal Staff Writer
“Those of you who get past the
center fold of' Playboy have
probably seen the cartoon with
the young boy and his girl in the
jewelry store being shown en
gagement rings. They are ob
viously not any older than four
teen or fifteen and the jeweler is
giving the boy various reasons
why he should buy a particular
ring he is showing him. “Young
man,” says the jeweler, “not only
is this ring something your wife
will always, have with her to
remind her of your sacred wed
ding vows it also has a real
keen secret compartment under
the stone!’ ”
This is how Dr. Edward Hoi-n-
ick began his talk stressing the
need for understanding adoles
cents. He was speaking to the
Mental Health Symposium last
Thursday in the Library Audito
rium. His subject was interesting
and Dr. Hornick is an authority
on adolescents and their emo
tional disturbances.

“The adolescents of today
are being intimate with each

other and getting married earl
ier than ever b^ore. These are
two proMems of adolescents
that are upsetting parents —
but that is only natural because
I believe it is the parents’
function to be upset and the
child’s function to give them a
reasm.”

Civitan Award
For Citizenship
B. W. Barnard, recently named
executive director of the Founda
tion of the University of North
Carolina at Charlotte, was ac
corded the 1968 Charlotte Civitan
Club’s Distinguished Citizenship
Award, Friday, April 22.
Dr. Hornick stated that
throughout history there have
been alterations in the behavior
pattern of adolescents. It is now
customary to expect the young
people to learn about love and
tenderness and respect before
they ever have any experience
With sex, “But the young people
are turning this around.”
In the race for senior represen
tatives, Student Party candidates
Sally Hagood and Libby Hols-
houser led the balloting with 52

lected 67 votes while Skip Milton
of the SP tallied 37 and Jim
Cunning of the UP counted 15.

for vice-president of the junior

Mr. Barnard, who professes to
be “72 plus” years old, has
served in many civic activities,
including direction of last year’s
successful United Appeal Cam

his responsibility as a citizen.”

can Credit Corporation in May.
He will assume his duties in the
UNC-C Foundation, which he
helped establish as the Charlotte
College Foundation, (h» Septem
ber 1, 1966.
“It used to be that some
people waited too long to
experience sex and this would
cause an emotional problem for
them, but now it is more of a
problem of becoming intimately
involved too early in life,”
Dr. Hornick is currently Pro
fessor of Psychiatry of the Albert
Einstein College of Medicine
and also i4 Director of In-
Patients there. His talk was
interesting because of his own
active interest and involvement
in the field of mentally disturbed
youths. The rest of his talk was

Tommy Thomas (UP) eked out
a victory over David Turner (SP)
for sophomore president in close
returns. Thomas rode a one vote
margin into the presidency, 83 to
82. It is thought that Turner will
request a re-count.

University of North Carolina at
Charlotte students will have an
opportunity to take the Peace
Corps Placement Test on campus
on May 3. It will be given in
Room 103 of “C” Building at 3:00
p.m.
The Peace Corps needs 10,500
new Volunteers to enter training
between now and next fall for
services in 48 developing nations
of Latin America, Africa, and
Asia. Tile Placement Test is
designed to help the Peace Corps
match applicants’ special abil
ities with the 300 different kinds
of jobs to be filled. If the test
indicates a limited language
learning ability, for example, the
Peace Corps tries to place the
applicant in an English-speaking
country.
The application form (Volun
teer questionnaire), rather than
the Placement Test, is the most
important factor in the selection
of Volunteers. Students or others
available for service oC advance
training within the next year
must fill out a Volunteer Ques
tionnaire before taking the test.
The Questionnaire, which is sub
mitted to the tester, can be
obtained in advance from The
Office of Student Affairs on
campus, or from Peace Corps,
Washin^on, D.C., 20525.
The Placement Test takes
about an hour and a half. An
optional French or Spanish
achievement test requires an
other hour. Both tests are non
competitive and require no prep
aration.
