\VEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1966 On The Yearbook When a library book is held overdue too long, there comes a time when the person who is holding it might just as well keep it. This rule must apply to yearbodts as well as library bodts, for our annual was long overdue when it finally arrived last week and many students felt, after examining it, that they waited long for precious little. For instance, not once is there any men tion of what year the book covers. Maybe this was pianned so that the volume could be used in whatever year it happened to be completed. The number “1” does appear several times and we presume it is a date; however, the number isn’t designated as A.D. or B.C. On the inside cover and fly-lead, there appears a beautiful color photo of some school’s campus. A few perceptive souls have tried to ccaivince us that it is this school’s campus and sometimes we can almost believe them if we take into account the fact that the picture is either backwards, side ways, or upside down, according to which person you’re talking to. The classes section is fine except that its oily the class section (singular) as far as we can tell. There is no designation of the different ciasses. The alphabetical order does start over several times, though. Could this mean...? Guess so. Leafing through the pages, many errors in picture captions are to be found. This in cludes not only the scrambling of names in the classes section, but also such glaring mis takes as turning “Sandra Brantley, Assistant Editor’’ into “Dcma Krohn, Classes Co-Editor’’ and vice versa in the section reserved for the yearbook staff; the misspelling of last year’s JOURNAL editor’s name; and, in the sports secticm, a little line reading, “The tennis ballat”. Speaking of the sports section, it is pro bably the worst section of the bodt, although this statement could be disputed since a great many people have their own favorite entry in the “worst section of the yearbook’’ contest. The sports section gets our nod in the contest due to the fact that, in the measly 13 pages devoted to basketball, bowling, tennis, and golf, there is not cme team group picutre. Neitoer is there one cheerleader group picture nor is there one name of any team member to be found on these pages. What’s more, quite a few team members in various sports weren’t even “lucky” enough to get their pic ture in at all. While we’re oi the subject of pictures, in some instcinces the same photos were used more than once. Surely enough shots should have been made to avoid using the same ones twice. Then too, the yearbook editor’s countenance appeared at least 10 times (count ‘em — 10 times). In some of the most conspicuous and inappropriate places, we might add. If a picture of her wedding had been inciuded, the book wouid have been complete. In the space allotted for the annual staff, this sentence appears. “It is our hope that some thought, some picture might provoke some pleascint thought or remembeicince for you.” If we follow this awkward grammar correctly, its meaning deals with expressing a hope that this volume will evoke pleasant, memories. Memories it wiil certainly bring but pleasant is too much to ask. The Carolina Journal WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1966 ELLISON CLARY, JR Jim Cunning Business Manager Frank Crooks Asst. Bus.

THE CAROLINA JOURNAL PAGE 2 Campus Stirs About Drink By PATRICK MCNEELY It seen s that this campus (the administration) is upin arms about the dreadful evil of alcohol, seems they are scared to de we will lose our reputation as a wholesome, UHy-white, square- dad college. It seems pretty silly, doesn’t it? The Journal felt that the administration should have a chance to express their feelings on the subjecL This being the case, I paid a visit to the Dean of Student Affairs, Dean MacKay, and asked a few probing questions: Journal: Who is responsible for the rules regarding consump tion of alcoholic beverages? MacKay: The Chancellor is responsible for all rules of the University. Journal: I mean who is res ponsible for making them? MacKay: I expect Miss Cone made them when she was Presi- denL They have been in exis tence for eighteen years. Journal: Do you think the rules are good as they stand? MacKay: Well, I think they are good. Journal: Why? MacKay: For two reasons. One, they protect the University from undue ciritcism from the comm unity and the state; and two, they set forth for the student what he can and can’t do. They are good for the same reason that civil laws are good. Journal: The rule in the 1966- 1967 GOLD DIGGER regarding the subject of drinking states “Stu dents or students’ guests who dis- ilay alcoholic beverages at school functions on or off premises are subject to disciplinary action.” Well, just what constitutes a school function? And does this include clubs? MacKay: Any gathering of stu dents as a function of a club of the University must be approved by me; and if approved, there shall be no alcoholic beverages dis played at this function. That’s the man and those are the rules. It is surprising to me that a university administration has nothing more to do than cause an earthquake over something as trivial as a bunch of young men playing a game of football and quenching their thirst with Amer ica’s most popular liquid re fresher, I could understand if we were all on an LSD trip or in stigated a mass rape, but such was not the case. Wake up... this is not the Pepsi generation. This is a list of complaints about the annual. Staffers Live In Siberia By KAT WATSON CAROL DURHAM What two ex-staff members of the Journal are now living in Siberia? The Slander Sisters. What Carolina beauty craves trees? Scratchy Troutman. Why are babysitters getting scarce in Charlotte? “Bones” is getting rid of them one by one. Why haven’t the Senior Surfers done as well as they could have?

Would you believe TimBrittoi!? Meet Freshman Candidates By TIM BRITTON, President of the Student Government By the time this report appears in print, the nominations for Freshman Class Officers, and re presentatives to the Student Legis lature, will be closed. For the next week, you, the Freshman Class, will be surrounded with speeches, propaganda, promises, and other campaign materials. Behind all of this, there is a candidate. Evaluate him care fully. He is assisting his feUow Student Legislature members to form all laws regarding student conduct; and therefore, should be representative of the qualities that you consider essential for such a responsible position. You’ll have a chance to meet these candidates on October 26, 1966, in the ballroom, at 11:30 a.m. This is a Freshman Class Assembly. Voting will begin imm ediately afterwards in the Univer sity Union, and continue through 1:00 p.m., Friday, October 28, 1966. To digress from the subject of elections, we have an item of interest, that should prove to be of concern to all of us. There has been muchdiscussioi lately as to dissatisfaction with our mascot, the forty-niner. Now that we have attained University status, the year 1949 seems to be of lessor importance to us. Many have suggested that we adopt another mascot, most likely some type of animal. Your suggestions will most certainly be appreciated; and be assured, you will hear more about our re-evaluation of our mascot in a future issue of the Journal.
