A Bright Spot
The Student Court tried a student last Friday
and conficted him of a violation of the Honor
Code.
We regret that this had to happen, but we’re
quite happy about one aspect of this event.
We’re happy about the fact that the lawyers
for both the prosecution and the defense handled
their cases with a great deal of poise and
polish. They gave the impression that they had
studied their cases carefully and were ready
for any turn of events which might occur in
the course of the trial.
The judges also seemed to radiate a certain
confidentethat they knew exactly what they were
doing, a quality lacking in many instances on
this campus. The witnesses, as well, never
lost their composure, even under some pretty
rough question barrages. As a matter of fact,
the accused handled himself quite well on the
stand though he was obviously under great
strain.
Finally, the gallery was large in size and well
mannered to boot. Its members were highly
interested in the proceedings and at times
offered their own strategy to the person seated
near them.
All this is almost enough to cause a certain
cynical editor to eat his words. Everything
about this court session was strictly first
rate. It was certainly not rinky dink in nature.
In Our Defense
In the trial Friday involving an alleged
Honor Code violation, the defense seemed to
feel it had a slight quarrel with the Journal.
It claimed that pre-trial publicity had tainted
the impartiality of the Student Court judges.
There was just one story and one editorial
written in regard to the proposed trial before
it took place and both were in the March 8
edition of the Journal. This edition of the
Journal appeared on the stands after Dwayne
Spitzer had notified the accused student and
filed a report with Dean MacKay. Thus the
Journal was well within its rights by publish
ing the story and editorial based on a legiti
mate campus news item. Indeed the Journal
would have been lax jf it had not included an
account of the events.
The news story and the editorial contained
no accusations toward the accused. They simply
employed the quotes of a campus official who
said he had seen a student violate the Honor
Code.
There was one headline which could be con
sidered to have been not in good taste. It
was used over the news story and read, “Mascot
Vote Is Postponed By Fraud.”
The Journal does regret the use of this
headline and has apoligized to the defendant.
However, we feel that no fault can be found
with the newspaper for merely reporting im
partially a campus news event or for
editorializing on that event.
Eve Was A Chic Dresser, She
Originated The 'Nude Look’
BY DARLE.N-E HELMS
Fashions have always been a
“moot point” from as far back as
when Eve donned the famous fig
leaf. But she did not realize liow in
the vogue she was, to be sporting
a bit of foliage and a natural
outlook on life ... for today, the
“nude” look is pushing its way
scandalously up in popularity. All
the magazine ads encourage
Mother Nature to guide the female
population in make - up, clothes,
everything! Skirts have been
naughtily raised to mid - thigh
shorth (the opposite of length)
and the “Little Girl Look” is terri'
daily self-contradictory, eh boys?
Probably the brightest aspect
of this new style switch is that
the finger wagging, scolding, self-
appointed critics are shifting their
frowning gaze from boys’ “Bobby
Kennedy” shorn heads to girls’
(and womens’ ) outrageously ex
posed legs! The males breathe a
sigh of relief and appreciation
“in one” towards the liberally
minded European trend - setters
such as “Nudi” Gerneich and
Courriges. They are happy, I
suppose, that the hairy criticism
has turned to barely criticism,
and that they may flaunt their
“no permanent permanents” in
unnoticed profusion as long as the
ladies’ limbs hold center - stage
attraction.
The sad - side-story to this
sensational re-discovery of women
is that most legs, including dim
ples and varicose veins, should
hide their knobby knees in shame
and cover themselves accordingly.
Too many limbs would better stand
a good pruning job ratlie r than stark
exliibition!
But let’s move on to another
face in the mirrow of fad fash
ions -- and this, of course, is
the new “Nude Look” in make
up, I have few complaints for this,
except -- isn’t it terribly ironical
that to look nakedly natural, one
must purchase a fortune in cleverly
subtle cosmetics?
Op Art has rushed into the
boudoir of femininity and captured
not only the clothes closet, but,
alas! fingernails!Newnailpolishes
are on the market which boast of
red polka dots on blue finger
nails with stars and stripes lurking
proudly on the background. A fash
ion magazine advertises new “no
bathing suit batliing suits” —their
“cover-alls” being the “nomake
up make-up” which tones the raw
epidermis to a blushing pink (with
natural ventilations).
Happily, all these modern inno
vations haven’t yet crept into the
southern college communities of
America, and with luck, some of
them possibly won't because the old
fashioned patterns in clotlies and
make-up have settied into a com
fortable, conservative tradition
and are fortified by a strong army
of supporters (“flesh colored,”
no doubt) who are liableto run
Op Art, etc. out of town on a
rail, it the natural freaks design
to show their naked noses around
here'.
Or is that a girlishly Op
timistic outlook?
Exciting Things
At Unique U.
By DARLENE HELMS
See the Unique University
We are called UNC-C
Many exciting things happen here
Like ballot box stuffing and car
wrecks
‘T don’t care if I did
its YOUR turn to bend over.
drop MY pencil,
1500 students attend Unique U.
All are apathetic pacifists —
all but a few
We would protest our rights
If w e knew what they were
But we forgot to ask.
Sh—don’t wake the masters
We’ve had a hard day
At Unique U.
Biood—Sweat—and tears
Flow like the River Jordan
Down UNC-C’s drain
So don’t wake the students
Ignorance is bliss
Happy student traffic
Stopping tor gas
At Unique U.
On the College Freeway
Commuters are at a loss
For time and interest
We are employed elsewhere
Than merely the Ivory Tower
We have no time for trivialties
Like iectures, meetings, or ball-
games
Unique U. has a lot of potential
But ‘tis hid ‘neatli rinliy-dinliitis
UNC-C is a big Unique U.
And growing every day
Like grass on a grave
That is vacant
Hiss boom bah
Rah rah rah
Yea, Unique U.
Pills Given

then only for medical reasons. A
third institution said pills would
be provided on an interim basis
pending receipt of a supply from
home. Only II pharmacies had
written policies.
Of the 174 institutions which said
they did not prescribe contraep-
tives, a few said’they would do so
for medical reasons (II), would
refer students to private physi
cians (IG), or would prescribe
through health service physicians
when they were independently en
gaged in private practice (3).
Rotoract Tries To Help Students Once More
Mr. Editor:
Tried to help anybody lately?
You might get a surprise -- some
people just don’t want help. Hacks
you off, doesn’t it?
Remember when Rotoract gave out
student theatre cards in the Union
lobby? Well, it didn’t work. As a
matter of fact, we got a rather cold
response from the students.
So what do you do with 1300
reduced price cards?
Being dauntless and adventur
ous, we shall once again attempt
to help the students. And really,
why shouldn’t they respond? After
all, it’s free.
Rotoract will have a table in the
Student- Lounge during the week of i
March 20 for the purpose of dis
tributing these cards. Come and
get one, because Dick Helms is
getting tired of having 1300 cards
scattered all over his bedroom, j
Rodney Smith
