To Budget Commission
—V leads, and distinguished profess-
By CAROL HAYWOOD
Chancellor D. W. Colvard pre
sented the North Carolina Advisory
Budget Commission on September
24 with a request for $2,516,033
to help toward making the Uni
versity of North Carolina at Char
lotte a full-fledged university. This
“B” budget request for program
expansion, which wiU provide the
salary increases, the new per
sonnel, and the library resources
required by a growing university,
is, in addition to the “A” budget
for continued operation, which am
ounts to $4,202,511 for the two-
year period.
Capital improvements, amount
ing to $19,679,100, include a gym
nasium, a major addition to the
library, a fine arts building, a
science building, and dormitories.
According to Dr. Colvard, the
basic aim of the “B” budget is
“to take a major step toward con
verting this institution to univer
sity status... a step which must
be taken under the guidance of
experienced academic offerings
consistent with university stand
ards.”
“Catch up” and “keep up”
money for faculty salaries is one
of the major items in the “B”
budget request. “Catch up” money
will amount to $38,323 the first
year and $90,758 the second year;
this money will raise UNC-C’s
faculty salaries two and a half
per cent each year, thus putting
the UNC-C faculty salaries in a
more competitive position with
those of other universities.
The “keep up” petition is for
CHANCELLOR COLVARD
$114,969 the first year and $272,-
274 the second year, providing a
seven and a half per cent in
crease in order to keep up with
the increase requests of other un
iversities. The “catch up” and
“keep up” requests bring salary
increases to a total cost of $516,-
324.
The addition of some major
leadership posts is included in the
request. A second vice chancellor,
for academic affairs, is the prin
ciple new administrator solicited.
A Dean of the College of Arts
and Sciences is also desired; this
college has been authorized by the
UNC Trustees, but its organiza
tion has been hindered by the lack
of personnel. Approximately
twenty top academic leadership
positions, including department
distinguished profess
ors, are included in the request
for $575,000 for the two-year per
iod.
In regards to the leadership
posts. Dr. Colvards said, ‘ ‘We want
to strengthen faculties in all areas
in which we are now operating and
we want to round out our pro
gram in arts and sciences both
by establishing leadership pos
itions and by filling gaps, such as
music and art, which are required
in a balanced institution.”
A sun of $731,256 is solicited
in the two-year request for ex
pansion of the library, which, acc
ording to Colvard, “is a crucial
point to the question of whether
or not this institution is to become
a first-class university.”
The request for $100,000 for the
two years wHl make a beginning
toward an organized research op
eration. Dean Colvard asked for
support for UNC-C’s new com
puting center, which is scheduled
to open early in 1967, and for a
learning resources center.
What Dean Colvard terms “suff
icient operatingpersonneland sup
plies to adequately support a uni
versity.” are also sought in the
request.
Dean Colvard says that the bud
get request is not greater because
it is a, realistic request, one to
be used without waste during the
two-year period of 1967-1969,
Of the blueprint for the next
two years. Dr. Colvard said: “We
will not be a great university when
the two years are up, but we wiU
have made a major thrust in that
direction.”

His aim being to present an
enjoyable, exciting, and unusual
theatrical experience, John Stuart
Anderson has been influenced by
the masters, but he is quite diff

it is to describe just what he does,
the New York Times said, “With
his outstanding voice and brilliant
use of movement and gesture, he
succeeds in holding his audience
spellbound and transforms the
written work into something that
really lives.”

Journal Acquires Female
For Sports Editing Duties'
BY SANDY CAUDLE
Donna Hughes, a freshman at
UNC-C, is the new Sports Editor
for the Carolina Journal. Since
Donna was anxious to get on the
staff and the position of Sports
Editor was yet unfilled, she agreed
to give it a try.
Donna is by no means a stranger
to the newspaper world. She work
ed on school newspapers for four
consecutive years. In her junior
year at East Mecklenburg, Donna
was the Associate Editor of the
Eagle. She spent a great part of
her time working on the sports
page. Oddly enough, she enjoyed it
and eventually learned to cover
sports events.
Does she consider herself ath
letic? “No, I really don’t,” re
plied Donna. “You don’t necessar
ily have to be athletic to enjoy
writing sports articles.”
Although interested in many sp
orts, basketball is her favorite.
According to Donna, “You feel
more Uke a part of the game
when you can get close to the
action.”
The new Sports Editor is very

enthusiastic about her job. She
believes that its “exciting to write
sports stories, because all stu
dents are interested in their sch
ool’s sports.”
Already, working hard, Donna
plans “to give aU UNC-C sports,
including the upcoming intra
murals, as much coverage as poss
ible.”
