We are trying to get them clarified but right now all we can do is try to get every body to obey them the way they are,” said Nita Brown, publicity committee chairman, in discussing the publicity for the up-coming student body elections. At this time, the rules apply to all buildings and grounds of the campus, except the Union. With the permission of Mr. Brent Steele, Dean Donald MacKay, or Mr. Loren Haus, posters and ban ners may be displayed on the walls, doors, and posts of the Union. The publicity committee is pre sently trying to get this excep tion made into an official rule through the Student Legislature. Publicity rules may be picked up at the Union desk along with any posters which violated the rules and were taken down. If a student needs further clairfi- cation of the rules, he may con tact Nita Brown. Rules 1. Limit to the size of posters. Studs Return For Sophs BY PAUL BOSWELL John Hostetter and the Studs will entertain here again on Friday, April 7 at 8 p. m. in the Union Cafeteria. The group, sponsored by the Sophomore class, specializes in the British sound. They consist of four college stu dents who know how to lay down the sounds. John sings lead and plays guitar, harmonica, autoharp. and several other instruments. Skip Henry plays lead guitar and sings, Jeff Many strums bass guitar and sings, while RobertHud- son handles the skins and sings. Henry and Many are from Catawba college, and Hudson is a Davidson County Community College stu dent. John Hostetter commented, “Our repertoire is quite variant so that if a person stays for the Presidential Hopefuls Speak Continued from Page 1 govern a student body including nearly 2,000 students. Mr. Garner summarized his theory of student government in these words; “The primary re sponsibility of an elected officer is to his constituents and to his own conscience, and only in a secondary sense to his party. The essential difficulty confronting a party candidate is the necessity to implement a program set forth in a rigid platform adopted be fore election. On a growing cam pus, however, student officials must be able to adapt themselves to those needs. Here the indepen dent has a distinct advantage.” “My primary objective will be to make student government serve as a more effective liaison between the students and the administration of UNC-C. I feei that students not only have a right to help de termine the policies which govern them but that student opinion can serve as a valuable guide to the administration,” he continued. Mr. Garner believes that his extensive student government ex perience makes him the best qual ified candidate for the presidency of the student body. During the current academic year he has served as Junior Class president; worked with the administration to simplify registration procedures as FACChairman; directed allo cation of student activity fees to 'the University Union, the Caro lina Journal, and to the annual as chairman of the legislature finance committee, and is cur rently a member of the Consoli dated University Student Coun cil. Mr. Garner served as sopho more representative to the legis lature and as a member of its rules committee. Carol Haywood says, “I would like to represent the rising sopho more class in the judicial branch of the student government. This past year I had the opportunity of representing the freshman class on the student legislature. I now have the desire to give each stu dent the voice he needs on the student court. I would sincerely appreciate all support given me.” Perry Moser, Haywood’s UP- backed opponent, said, “I would just like to thank all of my friends who have been good enough to help me with my campaign. Win or lose, I hope that in the future, I can prove worthy of their support. whole dance, we will eventually play something he iikes.” The “quite tight” group staged a very successful show in Febr uary, to the delight of the students attending. The dance, $1 stag and $1.50 drag, features super - casual dress. Students may wear mod, hobo, hillbilly, etc., outfits as the mood dictates. Said Tommy Thomas, Sopho more Class President, “We want the students to dress comfortably, to be able to wear what they feel like wearing.” Everyone is invited to come and e.xperience what John calls the “inexplicable sights and sounds of the Studs.” Posters on larger bulletin boards are limited to the regular size poster paper, 28 by 22 inches. For the smaller bulletin boards, posters are limited to halt the regular total area size of standard poster paper, either 14 by 22 inches or 28 by 11 inches. 2. Limit to number of posters. The total number of posters is un limited; however, any person may have no more than one poster on any bulletin board. 3. Tripods. The tripods in the library. University Union, and other buildings may be used for . publicity; however, the size of posters is limited to 28 by 22 inches, and the numbers of pos ters is limited to only one per tripod. 4. Walls, Doors, Etc. The policy of the University of North Carolina at Charlotte has been to prohibit using walls, windows, doors, planters, etc. for the pur pose of publicity. This policy is especially important during e- lections. 5. Priority. The student who places his publicity on a bulletin board or tripod first has priority over all other students or organ izations. BY CAROL HAYWOOD In tlie recent election for Uni versity Union officers for 1967- 1968, Dwayne Spitzer defeatedNick Stavrakas for the chairmanship by a 240-121 margin. When asked his plans for the Union for the coming year, Dwayme replied; “Because the Union has more money than in tlie past, we are planning some really big events for next year. My main concern is publicity that will attract students to presentations by groups lilte the Dulies of Dixieland, and tlie Bitter End Singers. “I want to get more people in volved in the Union. People like to take pride in what they do; if I can get more people working on Union activities, more people will come to Union-sponsored events. “At the present we are thinking of holding Schwingfest near the end of the next school year. Schwing fest means “having a blast.” We ire thinking of holding Schwing- .est as one lastblast before exams. “The Union would also like to have post-basketball game dances or parties in order to build school spirit. John Lafferty, unopposed for vice - chairman, received 327 votes. John stated his hopes for his job as follows: “I am aspiring to fill all com mittee chairmanships quickly and begin work with the Executive Council on finding clear dates for dayces for next year. “As soon as I fill the commit tee chairmanships, I am going to find more people to work in the Union. Quite a few are willing to work in the Union, but only a few of these have the necessary one semester ofpriorcommittee work. Therefore, it is hard to till com mittee chairmanships. First, I plan to fill the committee chair manships, then I will begin drives for more people to work in the Union.” Kay Watson, who was also un opposed in her office seeking, re ceived 328 votes for Union sec retary. Kay said, “I feet that the po tential for the Union is unlimited. Everything we need is here. Wiiat we do need is interested students and faculty.” In the race for treasurer, Ron nie Russell beat Bobbe Berry 228- 131. Of his new position, Ronnie said: “I want to thank all those who helped me in my campaign to be come treasurer of the University Union. I appreciate all the support that everyone has given me, I am looking forward to working with the Union in an effort to strengthen the relationship between the stu dent body and the Union.” ^Singer Of The Year'’ Burris Coming Marilyn Burris, Greensboro lyric soprano who recently won the 1966 award as national “Singer of the Year” in Washington, will present a concern at 3 p.m., Sun day, April 9 in the Parquet Room of the University Union, Miss Burris gives credit to her voice teacher at Chapel Hill, Dr. Wilton E.
