The Caroliiva Joerival -Siu^Mt fublicaiion Of Tht UniyersHy Of North Carolina At Charlotte Volume 1 CHARLOTTE, N. C„ WEDNESDAY, MAY 4, 1966 Number 21 The New Administration Building Is NoT Competed"" Administration’s Home Is Finished By SALLY HAGOOD The administrative staff of UNC-C will finally have a per manent home. After using spare classrooms and empty high school offices for 17 years, their very own Administration Building will be opened on May 2. The new building, designed by A. G, Odeii, Jr. and Associates, cost approximately $575,(K)0. The cost of the build ing was greatly reduced by recessing the lower floors and projecting the top floors on the extremely hilly site. The con tour of the site also necessi tated the “monumental steps” which connect the main camp us and the parking area behind the Union. Chancellor Colvard’s office is one of the most impressive rooms in the building. Two walls are paneled, a third is covered by a Fred Wolfe Talks About Brother Tom Fred Wolfe, last surviving member of North Carolina author Thomas Wolfe’s immediate fam ily, appeared with LeGette Blythe, writer in residence here, and talked about his brother, Thomas. The talk was in room C-220 of the Liberal Arts Com plex at 11:30 a.m. Monday, May 2. Mr. Wolfe and Mr. Blyth,-? have appeared together at several campuses in the Carolinas. Mr. Wolfe helped Mr. Blythe with the writing of the book, Thomas Wolfe and His Family. Mr. Blythe attended UNC-CH with Thomas Wolfe and says that Fred is the family member most like Thomas in manner and speech. Fred Wolfe is a graduate of Georgia Tech and is a former district representative of Fore most Dairies. He is now retired and makes his home in Spartan burg. Fred has been identified as the character “Luke” in Look Home ward Angel. Officers Sworn In; 10 Students Honored natural color drape and the fourth wall is made of burlap- style vinyl. The carpet is a deep moss green tweed. Dr. Colvard’s suite contains his office, a conference room, a private rest room and a kitchen ette. Dr. Cone, Mr. Batchelor, and Dean Wahab will also have offices on the top floor. The business office will occupy the majority of the remaining space on this floor. A very important bonus that comes with the new building is an up to date telephone system. The new switchboard will enable per sons on campus to place outside calls and calls to other parts of the campus by dialing. Previous ly all calls had to go through the operator. The new system will also include direct lines to the Chapel Hill, Greensboro and Ra leigh campuses. By PAT REID Seven newly elected student officers were installed and ten students were honored at the annual Honor and Awards Con vocation last Wednesday at 11:30 in the Atkins Library auditorium. “I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the duties of my office, and I will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and abide by, the Consti tution of the Student Government of the UNC-C.” This is the oath that our new Student Body and Union Officers took last Wednesday at the Honors and Awards Convention. In her opening remarks at the Convention, Bonnie Cone remind ed us that “The first year for the University of North Carolina at Charlotte is drawing to a close. It has been a year of learning new ways to do things with a new constitution and new by laws. We are indebted to Gus Psomadakis who fias led us in this most outstanding year.” As his last official act, Gus administered the oath of office to Tim Britton, our new Presi dent. Mr. Britton, upon ac cepting the Presidency, made a plea to the students to give the school the support and spirit it will need in the coming year to make it an even more success ful one. If Bud Stokely, as Vice President, and Martha Caton as Secretary, and Sue Garrett as Treasurer get the support and help from the students in their work, this next year can be one of the best for the University. Mr. Stovall administered the oath of office to Frank Jones (Chairman), Nelson Lemmond (Vice Chairman), Tish Schenck (Secretary), and Phyllis Henline (Treasurer) — but not before he got them to promise three things. He made them promise to put their academics before their gov ernment work, should a conflict arise. Next he made them prom ise to involve as many of their peers in their work as possible, and last, be made them promise that come next spring, they would have some candidates lined up to run against them again. Ten awards were won by members of our student body. Dawn Fisher won the Chemis try award; Trenton E. Wilson, the Math award; Van Wesley Bell, the Physics award; James L. Short, the James W. Grey award; Betty Ann Craig, the Charlotte Panhellenic award; Bill Billups, the Bonnie E. Cone award; Shirley Car penter and Doris Weddington, the Education award; and Celia Meyer and Rosalie Shumate, the National Conference of Ch'istians and Jews award. Also twenty-seven of our stu dents have been selected to be named in Who’s Who Among Stndents in American Univer sities and Colleges. “How do you measure the Continued On Page Four FRED WOLFE Photo By Robert Pliner Union Officers (l to r) Frank Jones, Nelson Lemond, Tish Schenck, and Phyllis Henline, Line Up Before The Student Body. ^ Photo By Robert Ptlner Jim Short Accepts One Of Two Awards Which He Received.
