A Review CAROLINA JOURNAL Mar. 15, 1967 Page 3 Lion-Like First Edition Of Barnstormer Has Variety Student Vote Says It's Back To 49er Forty - Niners is the new as well as the old nickname of this campus as of last Friday. Students voted to retain the old tag and thereby brought to an end a three-month - long name change battle. The student vote handed 136 bal lots to Forty - Niners while giving 107 to the second place entry, Char gers. Cougars, the third name on the list tallied just 39 times. Three write - in names (Alley Cats, Lynxs, and Bulls.) received one vote each. Also in the balloting, a proposed amendment to the Student Govern ment Constitution which limits night student representation in that body to a maximum of seven seats was passed by a vote of 235 to 21. The amendment states that one representative shall be elected for every 75 night students and not more than seven shall be elected. BY LIBBY HOLSHOUSER The Barnstormer, as we were promised it would, came in “like a Lion.” Copies, available at th> Union Desk for students, have all been taken. It is nice to see the see of literary talent on campus being given the chance to grow and bloom through a magazine such as the Barnstormer. If the Barnstormer lives up to its commitment, to furnish stu dents and the people of Charlotte with good literature, “lists of cultural events in the vicinity, a section of Critique on the events of art and culture in the city, campus and community,” it will become the outstandingpublication its founders so hope for. It is interesting to note the variety of material contained in the first issue. We were pro mised the publication would not contain pages of meloncholy love poetry. Not that love poetry can not rise to the heights of poetic expression, but so often literary magazines rely to heavily on the impassioned words of forlorn and distraunt lovers who feel they are capable, in great fits of ecstacy of dispair, of imparting a univer sal message. Patrick MeNeeley’spoem “Love is a Lovely State of Being” is the only writing which even con tains the word. Hisparticular slant on Love is refreshing. He touches the feelings of many young people today when he explains the pains and troubles of love and concludes: “Yes, love is a lovely state of being If you don’t mind!” Just what the impact of Fer linghetti’s style has on McNeely’s originality remains to be seen. Bud Stewart’s article on Aware ness is very pertinent to the times. The use of the senses is being stressed quite emphatically by ed ucators in the teaching of children. Awareness through the use of the senses is now being emphasized, although credit has always been given it, as an integral part of the whole creative process. Stewart also wrote one poem, “Self” which through a play on words seems also to stress the senses. Another writ ing by Stewart” . . . like to ride that freight,” would be well con sidered as song material. Jay Eaker seems to have an ear for truths and the ability to state the obscure in a fashion which makes the obscure obvious. However, Mr. Eaker’s “Whenisan Ideal Day” could have found a better place on page twelve with his “Ant,” “Pebble,” and “Grass” usingashis title, “Life”, and including only the last lour lines of his work. His first 11 lines of “When is an Ideal Day?” seem strained for rhyme. Jayn Connell’s “The Fisher men” seems to be the single most well-written poem in The Barn- stomer. Although the meaning she intended to convey in her poem seems to have escaped many cam pus readers, the reader is able to grasp a significance in her words. Would you guess the fishermen were 55 and 60 years old? “Evolution,” Miss Connell’s other poem follows fairly closely’ the poetic style of “The Fisher men”. “Evolution” contains some excelent imagery. Note: “But the black and white of me ran together like oils—” Jerry Hancock’s “Poesy” seems to convey a point. His style seems concise — and its effec tive. However, Hancock’s “Space- Age Poetics” seems hazy in mean ing. Even after reading it 15 times it’s hard to decipher the meaning (Continued on Page 7) Busiest Human Is Xafeteria Man’ BY CORNY STILWELL Undoubtedly, the busiest human on campus is known by almost every one as the “cafeteria man.” His actual identity is Mr. Loren Haus. He is here from Chapel Hill. His official title is Food Service Director. While at Chapel Hill, some 5,000 students a day enjoyed the meals served in Lenoir Hall under his watchful eye. He also managed Chase Cafeteria where he directed activi ties of some 50 employees. What about his background? This gentleman has done so much and been so many places that it is next to impossible to list them here. But for a start, he attended a bus iness college in Pennsylvania where he majored in hotel and business management. The military claimed 22 years of his busy life. He and his wife have what he terms, a grown family living in Pennsylvania...two boys, ages 27 and 25, and a girl age 23. Mr. Haus has traveled ex tensively, both here in the U. S. and in Europe. But his first trip to North Carolina was in 1959 when he “visited” Ft. Bragg. In 1964, the army lost, through retirement, his services. While in the service, he managed both enlisted and officer’s clubs. Unwn Office Campaigns Begin Today Dwayne Spitzer, also a candi date for the chairmanship, feels that the “main object of the Union is to promote school spirit, which is practically non - existent here, by promoting entertainment.” “Instead of having several small groups to entertain during the year, I would like to use the money to have two big - name acts appear here,” Spitzer adds. John Lafferty, candidate for the vice - chairman’s job, says that this position requires recommen ding committee heads to the Ex ecutive Council. “I would like to lead a drive for more active peopl.e to join the union committees,” says Lafferty. "Active people serving on these committees will make an active union. ” Bobbe Berry, candidate for trea surer, says, ‘T am really ex cited about the possibilities of the Union program for next year. This year more has been done than ever before — Including dances, lectures, and film series.” “The only way we can haveagood John Lafferty Kay Watson Bobbe Berry program is have have good people— those versed in the philosophy of the union and in the reality of the Union,” she continues. “We have had so much morepar- ticipation this year than ever before, and I think student interest will con tinue to increase,” Berry adds. "As chairman of the Recreation Committee, I have learned a lot through attending two conferences as a representative of our campus. The information I received there is invaluable and I hope to have the opportunity to put all of this into work,” she explains. The voting will take place on the 21, 22, 23 of March in the Uni versity Union. Campaign speeches will be held today at 11:30 a. m. in the Parquet Room of the Union. Dr. Hildreth Leads List Of Faculty Additions For Fall (Continued from Page 1) visiting assistant professor at State University College at Buffalo, New York. He has written numer ous articles for professional journals on retailing and manufac turing in Greensboro and has written extensively on sugar cane production. Dr. Lucio Artiaga, assistant professor of Dalhousie University at Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, was named assistant professor of mathematics. He holds the Bach- iller degree from the University of Zaragoza, a certificate from the University of Madrid, the M.Sc. degree from Dalhousie University and the Ph.D. degree from the University of Saskatchewan. He has taught at the University of Saskatchewan, the University of Wayne, Canada, and the University of Windsor, Ontario, Canada. He has had articles published in U. S. and Canadian mathematics jour nals. The following were appointed to the rank of assistant professor with that rank contingent upon the completion of the Ph.D. degree before they arrive this fall. Other wise they will come with the rank of instructor. — Frank William Biglow, a can didate tor the Ph.D. in political science from the University of California at Berkeley. He holds the AB from the University of Florida and the M A from Berkeley. He has been a teaching assistant at Berkeley and is at present a lecturer at the University of Cali fornia at Davis. His wife is presently employed at American Tobacco Company as a hostess which her husband says is a “most pleasant and enjoyable job.” Mr. Haus comments that he most assuredly “likes Charlotte.” He says, “I feel that whoever decides to come here will have a wonderful opportunity. As this campus grows, the cafeteria will grow. It should not be that students eat in the caf eteria because there is nowhere else. They should want to eat there because they enjoy it.” Of his staff, he says, "the staff here has been co-operative. When I came, it was to have been for only two weeks. I didn’t feel that I should make too many changes in that short of a time so I just stood back and observed. When my two weeks stretched into tour, I be gan to make a few changes. The staff adopted to me readily. They’re punctual and work well together. I like to hold weekly staff meetings with them to congratulate them or discuss difficulties. When asked to comment on the students here as compared to the students at Chapel Hill, he said, “I think they, in general, are very pleasant. I also think that they are a little more friendly than in Chapel Hill.” His professional life is abusyone and you might expect that his out side interests are just as busy. In fact, he officiates in the At lantic Coast Conference baseball league. He use to be in basketball and football, but evidently, he had to give up something and that is what he chose. Mr. Haus’ closing comments were, “Everyone’s been so nice to me, students^ faculty, adminis tration. Even though Mrs. Haus misses me, I’ve enjoyed being here. ”
