Students running on the Univer

something actively on campus by
seeking freshman class office,”
comments University Party Chair

Mr. Guy goes further by saying,

so that they will have an oppor
tunity to represent the majority

Evidence of the benefit derived
from this ccmference should be
apparent in the Union program for
spring semester.
It has been said that French
Politics and foreign relations are
like her roads — rugged and
unpredictable. While this may or
may not be true it is quite evi
dent that the French attitudes at
present under the DeGaulle gov
ernment, are often extremely di
vergent from those of the United
States. For this and many other
reasons the French Club is spon
soring, on Wednesday, November 1
at 11:30 a.m. in Rm. U233, a
round - table discussion between
five of our distinguished profes
sors. Dr. Morrill, of the History
Department, and Dr. Jamgotch, of
the Political Science Department,
will present ideas from the view
points of their major fields of
interest. Dr. Bush, Dr. Macy and
Dr. Schlecta, of the French De
partment, will give various other
viewpoints.
The topics of discussion may
range as widely as those in at
tendance may wish. The topic of
the Vietnam War will certainly be
on the agenda since France was
the original outside power in Viet
nam. DeGaulle’s recent visit to
Canada, a trip which caused a
great deal of contraversy, will also
be discussed as will the French and
American views of N.A.T.O., the
Common Market, and anything,
time allowing, which you feel to
be of importance.
Dr. Schlecta, advisor for the
club, will moderate the program.
All those interested are urged to
attend.

are Dennis Easterling and Glenda

and Gus Psomadakis, a former
UNC-C student body president,
for night representative.
Mike Robertson, UP candidate
for President, sets down his pol
icies in this statement, “I would
like to see instilled in the fresh
man class a desire to build this
school rather than a tendency to
try to get what they can out of it.”
“We must remember that 70%
of the students here work; a maj
ority of the remaining 30% flock
home for other extracurricular
activities. For them to want to
work for the school they will have
to feel like a part of it. There-

was called “an accomplishment
that has enhanced the respect in
which he is held.”
Agronsky has also received the
George Foster Peabody Award for
his “At Issue” news programs
and was commended for his “pen
etrating analysis . . . and under
standing of the fundamentals of
freedom and a concern for the
rights and dignity of the individual
citizen.”
He has also received the Nat
ional Headliners Club Award and
served as president of the Radio
and Television Correspondents
Association.
Agronsky, a graduate of New
Jersey’s Rutgers University,
