I Page 6 The Carolina Journal Wednesday, February 14, 1968 Coming of A.K. Psi Important Step Green Garter Is Great With the return of the Green Garter Coffee House, Monday, Feb ruary 19 - Friday February 24, we would like to urge each person to make plans to attend at least one performance of the Grimm Brothers Show. This Coffee House, the third one this year, has improved con sistently in entertainment and organization with every return. This time the Wednesday evening performance has been discon tinued - an improvement considering that the audience at the last middle-of-the week night performance was quite low. The Thursday, Friday and Saturday night performances have consistently been well-attended nights - full of fun and great en tertainment for all. The amount of work done by members of the Fine Arts Com mittee reaches phenomenal limits. It is the desire of the commit tee to make each new coffee house even more elaborate than the last, and each time it has been successful in smoothing out more of the kinks. (Even the waitressing has improved!!) Bernie Henkel, Fine Arts Committee chairman, deserves much praise as an organizer and person who can get things done, well and on time. His cooperative staff has seen to completing arrange ments for the Garter each time with imagination and ingenuity. So it is with no little confidence that we invite you to make plans for an enjoyable evening at the Green Garter. LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS ^PVl^EP ME TO EXCUSE YOU FPCM ALL HC^MEtMOKK FOP A FEW RAY'S.'

The staff of the Carolina Journal congratulates Mr. Herman and his co-workers on the efficiency and rapidity displayed by them in carrying out the necessary steps to becoming a part of such a fine national business fraternity as Alpha Kappa Psi. It is a complimentary reflection on the caliber of the student body here that the demanding tasks necessary tor acceptance to this high standard fraternity were met with skill and determina tion, The results of such hard work were unanimous approval by the national board of the petition submitted by the men, and some highly encouraging and favorable words from representatives of other A.K. Psi chapters who visited our campus. The installation itself was a happy occasion and serious event for each of the thirty-tour charter members. We wish the best of luck tor the Eta Omega Chapter of Alpha Kappa Psi in their coming services and projects to build an out standing university here. By SONIA MIZELL The cafeteria Friday night was the scene of another typical campus dance. As usual there was a tremendous turnout of students-- about 300 out of 2,000. There is definitely something wrong when only 1/7 of the student body at- tneds a school function such as this. The dance last week could be called an exception because it was a Sadie Hawkins dance which puts it in a different category. How ever, to find out why attendance was, and usually is, so minimal, the students themselves should be asked. Therefore, on Friday, several students were asked to give their opinions of the dances here, and tell whether or not they were going to attend the one that night. Since this was a Sadie Haw kins dance, the perfect answer came from one quite attractive boy who stated very simply, “I wasn’t asked.” After this one answer, how ever, the majority of the answers were based on the same thing— campus drinking. One girl who has attended every dance this year except the one Friday night com mented that she was tired of wat ching everyone have to sneak around in order to have a drink. Many times dates to the dances are from other universities and they get “fed up” with the high school atmosphere and way things are conducted. Also, she said, at every dance she hasattendedthere have been the same people, atmos phere and mood. There is nothing different. Along the same line, a boy com mented that Sadie Hawkins should have been played up more. The discussion went back to drinking as another girls pointed out that almost everyone out here is over 18 and most students are over 21. “The trips out to the car after every five minutes gets.;-: ■ a while.” Two studjii; pointed out that they would pay more and go some place iS i the Cellar where they could diji: I 9not get drunk) with no one la ' tag to see what you’re drin. However, another boy pointed"!' that the administration is carrying out the law that u Mbits drinking on state supped campuses. He can see the J— ministration’s side, but he agJT that students should be allowed ^ drink. He does feel, however, J the students should be subtle aU it, and not try to impress eveij one with how much liquor ; can hold. It is doubtful that anything ( or will be done about the dri tag situation on campus. But,j must be pointed out that maW re, 1 import# N students feel it is matter that should be studied 1 Dance BWOC, Agronsky Are Most Popular Union Events fully by each branch of the J ,1,0 versity. . tor How do the students of this campus feel about their Union Program this year? This is the question which the Union Opinion Poll, conducted at the end of last semester, sought to answer. The following conclusions emer ged from the poll. ever, many people felt that the Executive Council ignored such applications for membershup, as has often been the case in the past. In order that the Committee Chairmen can become acquainted with these new members, a meet ing will be held, in the back lounge api by sqi 1 boi of the Union at 1:00 p.m., Thuts' “T day, February 15, for all perso# the who have a sk^ to join committed ‘ or who now wish to. Those pe( tou sons who are unable to attend a requested to leave a note at J I Union Information Desk, forJol for Lafferty, with a meeting timecoj wil venient for them. Dances, BWOC, and Martin Ag ronsky have been the most popu lar events presented this year, while recreation tournaments, free game room and movies were least attended. Students ofthe Charlotte Campus wholeheartedly endorse the idea of the Campus Weekend (ie., BWOC) and the Coffee House. There is a large feeling that the Union should be opened more on weekends. LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS Dances should be held more frequently. A mixed response came con cerning the type of music, played over the PA system, and the vol ume, but most students feel that some program, besides the radio should be played. Publicity has been good, there should be more of it. Most popular bands are Tams, The Temptations, Association, Soul Inc., and Tempests. but the the the The cultural side ofthe program is lagging fare behind the social. (These responses came mainly from “C” building.) Finally, there is great miscon ception over what the Union really is, and what it should do. There was a good response to the call for committee members.
