7 Carolina Journal September 13, 1967 Page 6 A Growing U. A new university. A growing University — a workable, laughable, sincere, somewhat confused, organizing University. A special condition in society. An extraor dinary chance for people who desire to be, or stumble into being, a part of that state of affairs. This new University — which today is ours as an infant, and tomorrow will be THEIRS as a seemingly immortal old man, asks and offers. For survival and a rich, vibrant life, the University needs sutdents. It holds out to you the means of preparing for a happy, profitable future -- of enriching your world, of finding friendship and guidance. Here, there is no blanket of tradition to crawl under — there is no well enough to be left alone. There is only growth, excitement, confusion, organization, new ideas, new policies, fun, new Qpportunities. We are the tradition-makers, the pace setters. A place to learn, to try new things, to teach, to work—and, perhaps, a place to find yourself. A rare situation in our society. Freshmen Have Faith-- Anxiety Melts to Humor BY PATRICK McNEELY I have made it my practice to address my first article of the year to the incoming freshman class. This year is no exception. Right now everything must seem quite a jumble to you; but have faith, that wears off quickly as those first tests start poppSng up and you settle down to a study habit. The instructors become familiar and the books become a part of you. Soon the campus will become your second home andyour fellow students, a second family. separating the students. This erases any excuses for nonaccep tance. You make your own station here by your own perscmalily, sincerity, and attitude. It matters not what make of car you drive, what style of clothes you wear or how many people you know. You pave your own road, through your own actions and feelings and you have a choice to ride com fortably or bumpy. Thus endeth my “state of the mind” address. “I can’t find my classroom”, “They’re out of this book I need tor chemistry”, and “Oh Lord, I’ve lost my schedule” are phrases which will soon find their way into your humor from your anxiety. FAC Successful A word of commendation is in order for Mr. Phil Wilson, Freshman Advisory Council Chair man, and his committeemen. Freshmen orientation is not the simplest project available to undertake. Mr. Wilson man aged to introduce freshmen to the various activities available on campus and to get them registered smoothly with as much enjoyment as possible — and in some new ways. A most outstanding part of orientation, and one that several FAC and faculty members enjoyed too, was a short, informal concert by our musician-in-residence, Mr. Raul Spivak. His playing is truly inspiring and we hope to have many opportunities to hear Mr. Spivak play. Throughout the three days of registration and orientation, the FAC chairman kept his cool—which was quite a feat among the tired minds and bodies existing by the time Friday had rolled around. There is a “thing” called “tran sition period” from high school to college which befalls many stu dents. This is the time of read justment from high school life to college life (two very different atmospheres). You were in high school because, weU just because that was the thing to do. You are in college because you seek know ledge, insight, and skills beyond the required. If this is not your purpose then you won’t be here for very long. In my eyes anyone who comes here for social or superficial rea sons shall reap what he deserves: a loss of money, dignity, and ac ceptance. Scxne learn the schemes and angles to get through college but they are the biggest losers of all. Learn all you can and I don’t mean just in the classroom. Much is to be learned by a free and enthusiastic discussion of the mat erial brought out in class. Try it; it’s catching; it’s true education. You must be enthusiastic! This is higher education; this is where you should get excited about ed ucation. Only the fools will putyou down and they are to be pitied, not obeyed. There is also a social transi tion to be made. This is possibly the hardest to overcome. At UNC- C there is no rigid class system Well Fred, this begins another semester of the “Draft Dodge Rebellion.’’ Journal Says Hey Rogues Editor Has Exciting Plans A warm welcome is extended to new students, mew faculty members, and new administrators. And hearty greetings to all returning 49’ers, of course. . . Any member of the student body who is interested in journalism and/or likes to write or type or is interested in photography is wel comed to the JOURNAL staff. All an interested party need do is leave a note for the editor at the union desk, or come by B-6 in the Union basement. Interview with Kimbrell con cerning annual The following is an interview with Miss Candy Kimbrell, editor of the 1967-1968 UNC-C yearbook. Journal: In the beginning there was the Nugget. What is the cur rent title of our annual? Candy: Since we are all rogues and rascals at heart, we thought Rogues ’n Rascals would be an appropriate title for a publication which reflects our students as they really are. Journal: What is the goal of the 1967-1968 Rogues ’n Rascals: What LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS THE CAROLINA JOURNAL EDITOR Gayle Watts MANAGING EDITOR Ellison Clary, Jr. Business Manager Frank Crooks Sports Editor John Lafferty Photo Editor Fred Jordan Cartoonist Geraldine Ledford STAFF: Patrick McNeely, Kay Watson, Rodney Smith, Carol Haywood Parry Bliss, Monte Zepe^, Joe Davidson.

I also intend to make the readers aware of the details they ignore each day. Journal: I suppose you have learned a lot in the past year working on Miss Sandra Brantley’s staff. What in particular, do you intend to do differently this year? Candy: I intend to change the size of the book in order to facili tate easier handling and to coincide more closely with our creative photography. I hope we can include more color and special effects in the book this year. I also intend to reorganize the sections within the book to fit a more artistic pattern, but I do not wish to re veal at present exactly how I intend to do this. . Another change I have insti tuted this year is to change pub lishers. Our new publisher is Hunter Publishing Co., Winston- Salem. We feel that Hunter can perform all the services that we require at a reasonable price and that their location will be highly beneficial to more efficient hand ling of our book.
