Election Thoughts After Mini--What?--
Freshman elections this year are off to an
encouraging start as the ballot offers a choice
for all major offices being sought.
Not so with the vacant Publications Board
position. No student with the necessary 90-
hour requirement registered to run for the
office. The Publications Board is an important
cog in the wheel of organization here and it is
appalling that out of the eligible students not
one wished to spend a portion of his time in
playing influential part in the role of publica
tions on campus.
Likewise in the case of the night student
representatives. The positions open are
important and necessary parts in the running
of student government on campus, and student
government is a vital part of campus life and
activity. Yet, no candidates presented them
selves to serve in these offices.
As it stands voters are to write in candi
dates for the vacant pub board position and the
two open night student representative slots.
The lately lackadaisical Student Party is
throwing all its efforts into a comeback under
the leadership of Charlene Crumpley and Nita
Brown. It is the hope of the Journal staff
that this party is able to accomplish its goal
of affording the University Party stiff compe
tition in the races for offices open on campus.
Perhaps if this point is reached there will
no longer be important offices left unsought by
indifferent students.
Note of Thanks
The Green Garter workers are commended
for their diligence and imagination in staging
the first coffee house on campus.
Although the students warmed up slowly and
only filled the house on Friday and Saturday
nights, the Green Garter itself was well ex-
ecuted--except for inexperienced waitresses!
But they are sure to get smoother each time --
another coffee house is planned for December.
The dedication and ingenuity of the Arts
Committee is commended.
The progress of the 49’er beards being
grown on campus is evidence that there are
many experimenters attending school here.
Most have survived the itching stage now --
but it is still not too late too get into the
competition, men.
December 8 is the day of the public naming
of the winner, so there is still a little over a
month in which to grow and trim a beard.
Beards are cropping up everywhere-- defin
itely IN!
Students Discuss It!

Was itB.W.O.C., TheNanceGui-
tarists, the intramural football
games, the winning cross-country
team, the coming of the dorms,
or the talk of various campus im
provement projects which have
moved our students to respond
(voluntarily) to campus activity?
Anyway, when students were con
fronted with this week’s survey
question—“After the Mini—
What?’’ or “What will the length
of dresses be in ‘68 or ‘69,’’ it
was evident that our students are
becoming responsive. Shy indivi
duals, withdrawn individuals,
religious individuals, not-so-reli-
gious individuals, scholarly indi
viduals, not-so-scholarly indi-
viduals--all responded.
O.K., so what I really want to
say is “Fellow students, I’m sorry
that you were ’roused from your
studies, ’roused from your dinner
tables, and from your varied other
activities to answer a cause that
will not even be printed. However,
although your comments will not be
in this publication--they will be
referred to others. Playboy, Mad,
Experimental Psychology, The Ob
server, Esquire, along with a local
priest and the County Sheriff will
give your comments the closest
possible attention.’’

Interested students are invited to
attend. Coffee and cookies will be
served.
“After the Mini—WHAT? Or
what will the dress lenght be in
’68-’69?”
Rick Higgins: Censored.
Buzz Cobb: “Can’t nip much
more or they’11 be indecent. Seems
like they (the designers) will have
to set a limit.”
Jack Hendricks: “If they go too
much higher, they’ll be belts.
Jim Dunn: “I think they’ll stay
where they are. Don’t think they’ll
go much higher.”
S.F.Chang: “I like the fashion,
but I’d prefer my sisters, (or fe
males of my family) not to wear
them.”
Joe Caldwell: Censored.
Bill Sloan: “Plastic Drawers.”
Loch Walker: Censored
Robert Pliner: “If I were any
younger. I’d be shot.”
Pat McNeely: “Fornification
will set in.”
Frank Crooks: Censored.
Mary Gange: “Handkerchiefs.”
Carolyn Campbell: “Pugghh??
Why are you asking me? Well,
anyway, they’ll go i^! Rather like
you see in science fiction movies!
I hope.”
Bonnie Ingram: “Seriously I
think we’ll go back to nature.”
Jana Green: “I agree.”
Lynn Griffin: “I have no idea!
And I couldn’t care less because
I’m blind.”
Jerry Burwell: Censored.
San Rankin: “More skin.”
Rodney Smith: “Reaction for
mation possibly because men want
to see long dresses. Men will
eventually tire of viewing under
wear.”
Ellison Clary : “I’m usually
the one who is after the Mini.”
Ron Bassinger: “I think ( is
places where it will be accepted)
but in other places the mini will
be widespread. Women with badi
legs should be prohibited to wear
the rr.ini.”
Nash Eisenhower: “Idon’tthink
they’ll go any higher. If a girl
needs to wear a girdle, she
shouldn’t wear a mini-skirt.”
Bud Stewart: “I’d hate to think,
In ’68-’69 I think they’ll level off."

Watch For...
Beard Growers Increase
One of the current issues on
the American scene is the smoking
of marijuana, particularly where
college students are Involved. Is
this really a problem? Should
“pot” be legalized? Can UNC-C
students really acquire pot without
any trouble? Look for Rod Smith’s
article in next week’s Carolina
Journal.
