PAGE 4 THE CAROLINA JOURNAL May 3, 1967 A Year Of Progress Our second year as a University is ap proaching its end, and the signs of progress are everywhere. In observing the separate facets of this campus, we can see that almost all of them have advanced in some manner during the current year. Students have had the opportunity to hear and enjoy big name entertainment, as well as top local entertainment. The Bitter End Sin gers, The Fabulous Five, The Tams, The Dukes of Dixieland, and the Ravenetts head up this list. The lecture series has invited many nation ally known personalities, as have some of the campus organizations. We were privileged to hear Tran Van Dihn, Heather Miller, Dr. John Rock, Dr. J. B. Rhine, and Thad Stem. Such renowned statesmen as Gen. Mark Clark arid Sen. Sam Ervin have also visited our campus. In the area of the arts, we were pleased as Richard Gray and Mayo Loiseau, Jeanne Provost, Norman Dello Joio, and John Stuart Anderson, expounded on or displayed music comedy and drama. The quality of certain student functions has risen measurably. Elections, for one, have :• experienced a small transformation of meaning and significance. Elections have become a carefully planned affair which discourages cheating and gives rise to real results. Se veral confusing and frustrating situations have occurred this year in the various voting is sues, all of which were well handled. Hope fully, the realization has come that these situations will always be present, and that the treatment of them must be quick and de- Roger, I think you need to study for this test some more, you don’t seem to have your mind on history. Chorus Has Spring Concerts cisive. No University Spirit We could go on enumerating improvements until space permitted no more, but there is one part of our University which has shown little or no improvement -- university involve ment. The attendance at campus dances and spe cial performances has been very non-existent. One class representative was elected at a meeting by a vote which could have been counted on two hands. The dukes of Dixieland were obviously embar rassed by the pitiful showing at Ovens Auditorium, where students from area dolleges outnumbered our students by far. Dr. Ellis gave a very interesting lecture on modern humor which echoed throughout the Parquet Room. The only things which were well at tended were Dr. John Rock’s lecture on birth control, and the Tams’ and the Studs’ dances. Perhaps dormitories are necessary to sti mulate a campus pride of some sort. If this is so, then we would hasten the day of the dormitories.

Coverage will be renewed when the doors open on the fall semester in September. He will set up operations in the University Bookstore from 9 a.m. to 6 p. m. daily, except on the 26th, when the store will close at 4 p. m. Mr. Frost urges students to bring all their unneeded texts to the bookstore where he will buy them for top prices in the used book market. Mr. Albert Beale, local repre sentative for L, G. Balfour Co., manufacturers of school rings, will be at the University Book store on May 15 from 9 a. m. until 3:30 p. m. He will take orders for rings from students who have aiready completed 75 semester hours. He will welcome a chance to talk with students who have already re ceived their rings, but who may have complaints concerning them. More than half of the composi tions to be performed are from manuscript copies, presented for the first time. Among these are an anthem by Elwood Coggin, “Be Ye Glad and Rejoice”, which is dedicated to the UNC-C Chorus, and a “Partita: Now Thank We all Our God” which will be played by Robert Stigall on the organ. Following the concert on May 23d a reception will be held to honor the composers whose works are represented. Editor Has Comments BY PATRICK McNEELY Paul Boswell, the new editor of the CAROLINA JOURNAL is a 20 year old rising Junior, majoring in Biology. Here are a few of his opinions on topics concerning the JOURNAL: JOURNAL: What changes, if any do you plan to make in next year’s newspaper? Boswell: No immediate changes; yet possibly more human interest. JOURNAL: How is the staff shap ing up for next year’s JOURNAL? Boswell: 1 hope that the present staff will remain with us. I know of at least one entering freshman who is editor of his high school newspaper that will be with us. JOURNAL: Do you plan to ex pand the paper? Boswell: There is not enough campus activities nor avail able funds to support more than 8 pages. I do however, propose to continue with 8 pages. JOURNAL: What do you see as the main problem in producing the CAROLINA JOURNAL? Boswell: The compensation and the amount of work involved are nowhere near equal. Only the editor and business manager re ceive remuneration. Perhaps this is why the staff is so small. This places the majority of the burden on one person. JOURNAL: Do you plan to use national and local news as well as campus news or do you plan to limit the JOURNAL’S cover age to campus news? Boswell: The bulk of the cover age will concern campus news; however some national and local news of interest to the students will be published.
