Circle K Promotes Car Wash,
Extends Invitation To Join
BY GAYLE WATTS
Circle K, the oldest and one of
the most active service organiza
tion on campus, is planning a car
wash April 14 at the Phillips 66
station on North 29. For $1.75,
the wash includes a complete
cleaning of the car body and wheels
and a thorough vacuuming of the
interior.
A previous car wash sponsored
by Circle K had much publicity
and little response from the stu
dents.
As a .special service for the fac
ulty their cars wiU be picked up
from the school parking lot to be
washed.
“Our main project, now that the
book store has begun buying used
books, is producing the school
directory,” says Chip Wright, pre
sident of the organization. Mr.
Wright said chat Circle K received
invaluable help from Dean McKay’s
office in putting together the di
rectories.
The club made 1500 directories
and made them available, free,
to the student body. Five hundred
directories are still in the po
ssession of Circle K.
This fall the directories will be
made and sold as the club’s pri
mary fund raising project.
Circle K has been active this
year in making their purpose —
service -- a reality. On AprU 1,
the members cleaned up the main
parking lot. Marshall Roberson, a
member who works for the school,
was able to arrange with Dr. Her
bert Hechenbleikner, the club’s
faculty advisor, to use the school
tractor and equipment in cleaning
up the lot.
Each spring the Mecklenburg Ki-
wanis Club holds a meeting on
campus and someone from ad
ministration addresses the club
concerning plans for the campus.
On April 3, Dean D. W. Colvard
spoke to the Kiwanis members on
the present and future plans of
our branch of the University.
Mr, Wright said that the Kiwanis
members are extremely interested
in the growth of the school and
that they have helped us an awful
lot this year with everything they
could.”
Last weekend, April 7-9, eight
members of Circle K from this
campus attended the Carolinas
•District Convention of Circle K
at Mitchell College in Statesville.
The purpose of this annual spring
meeting is to elect district offi
cials and decide who will be in
the election of international offi
cers. The international convention
will be in the latter part of August
in Ottawa, Canada.
Circle K now has ten members,,
From a membership meeting on
March 30, to which freshmen boys
were invited who wanted to learn
about the goals of the club, the
club has received applications
from nine prospective members.
After a person has made applica
tion, then follows a four week per
iod during which he attends Circle
K meetings to become familiar
with the organization and to become
acquainted with the members.
The club meets on Wednesdays
at 11;30 a. m. and any boy who
is interested in joining is invited
to see a Circle K member or to
come to one of the meetings.
“1 extend' an invitation to join
to any male on campus who is
interested in Circle K and some
hard work,” says Mr. Wright,
Arts Council of Sears, Roebuck and
Co. As curator he directs research
into the design and decorative
styles that have left their imprint

Part Of New
Arts Festival
The Tams, one of the most
popular rock and roll combos in
the southeast, are slated to return
to this campus tomorrow night
for a dance and show in the Union
cafeteria from 8:00 until 12:00.
The Tempests will appear on the
same card.
Admission for this show is $1.00
per student and $2.00 for the
general public. Dress is casual.
The Tams are appearing in con
junction with the Arts Festival
which is in progress throughout
this week.
The Tams were featured in the
first social event of the fall se
mester and attracted a record-
breaking crowd of over 800 stu
dents here.
Since then the group has re
corded several new hits both on
singles and albums. Among these
have been “Let My Love Be Your
Shelter” and ‘Get Away” as well
as their new album entitled “Time
For The Tams”.
The Tams have indicated that
UNC-C students and thoseofNorth
Carolina State University are their
two favorite audiences. On several
occasions, the members of the
group have voiced approval of
students here.
They are almost sure to perform
a number which has virtually be
come their theme song due to its
popularity, “I’ve Been Hurt”.
The ABC-Paramount recording
artists hav e producedanimpres-
sive number of liits during the
four years they have been together.
“Untie Me” was the first hit
for the group which had been per
forming in night clubs and at
fraternity parties. They quickly
followed up with their nation-wide
smash hit, “What Kind Of Fool
Do You Think I Am”.
Since that time, the Tams have
recorded such favorites as “You
Lied To Your Daddy”, “I.augh
It Off”, “How Can I Un-Love
You”, “Better To Have Loved
A Little”, “Hey Girl, Don’t Bo
ther Me”, and “I’ve Been Hurt”.
The Tams have made numerous
appearances in Charlotte, Myrtle
Beach, and the surrounding area.
They always attract a full house
audience.
The Tams have made singing
somewhat of a family affair with
Charles and Joseph Pope making
up two fifths ofthe five-man group.
Their brother, Otis Pope acts as
road manager.
Robert Smith, who sings bass,
Horace Key and Floyd Ashton,
who add background har m ony,
round out the live.
During the course of a personal
appearance, every member of the
Tams sings the lead at least once.
The versatile group hails from
Atlanta, Georgia.
The group is in great demand
for public appearance tours and
its members wouldn’t have it any
other way. They sav they are
most happy when in front of a
live audience.

basis of science. Everything has
come to be physical. We have a
dogma to overcome.”
“Remember”, he said, “that
nobody has any idea, not a germ of
an idea, of how you can be con
scious while you are sitting here.”
“There is a sense of urgency
about the field,” he added.
“There is a sense of urgency
