TV Hopefuls
Have Chance
To Practice
By ELLISON CLARY
Budding television personalities
on this campus will get a chance
to capitalize on a big break this
Thursday when tryouts are held
for parts on a new tube show
all about this university.
The 30-minute program, to be
called “On Campus”, will be seen
weekly on educational station
\VTV1, channel 42, starting ten
tatively March 24. Plans now caU
for the show to be telecast each
Thursday at 8:30 p.m.
It will be Union sponsored and
will involve no cost to the imi-
versity.
Mike Carmichael, Senior history
major from Charlotte who has
been named program director by
Dean of Students Donald MacKay,
says he will be looking mainly
for a student who could serve as
host for the telecast in this Thurs
day’s two o’clock parquet room
tryouts.
He will also be on the lookout
for students who have any type of
talent which could be exhibited in
future shows.
“We already have students tor
the production end,” he explained.
“Now we need a weekly host as
well as talented or interested stu
dents.”
The host or hostess for the pro
gram which has “been in the
works for sometime now” would
need to be cool under pressure
as well as able to ad lib about
various aspects of this school,
Carmichael suggested.
Emphasis will be focused pri
marily on students although some
facu% members will participate
from time to time.
Dean MacKay said each .:alf-
hour segment is to be taped live
about six or seven days prior to
air time.
Each program, he continued, wUl
consist of three distinct parts.
First will be general news of the
university, then a particular emph
asis on some topic, and finally the
university itself in some interest
ing aspect.
He said the first program is
planned to place emphasis on the
university’s new arts festival.

believe that a person can step

Pub Board Scene Of Dispute^
Seniors Want Separate Section
By ELLISON CLARY
The combat-conditioned pub
lications board became the battle
ground for another campus contro
versy during its scheduled 2:00
p.m. meeting in conference room
C-101 last Thursday,
This new controversy grew out
of Senior Class discontent with
this year’s annual staff policy of
placing all student pictures in
alphabetical order without regard
for class standing designations.
Seniors had hoped “Rogues ‘n
Rascals” editor Candy Klmbrell
would reconsider her policy and
place slightly larger Senior Class
member photos in a separate sec
tion.
After some debate, the board
voted unanimously in favor of a
mition submitted by Dr. Julian
Mason which, in effect, reaffirmed
board policy of non -interference in
editors’ plans unless these plans
include action which could be con
sidered libelous or in extremely
bad taste.
Board chairman. Dr. Darryl Mc
Call made the conflict the first
order of business. As soon as the
meeting was called to order, board
member Michael Carmichael, who
represents the student body at
large and is a Senior Class mem
ber, presented a resolution which
had been passed unanimously at
a Senior Class meeting held Wed-

Color Guard member raises new flag
A national flag that has flown
over the Capitol Building in Wash
ington, D. C. and a state flag that
has flown over the state Capitol
building in Raleigh now fly over
this branch of the University.
The dedication ceremony of the
beautiful aluminum flag pole, which
was given to the University by the
Circle K Club and Mr. and Mrs.
Clarence 0. Kuester, was held
last Friday at 10:30 a.m. on the
site of the flag ^le outside the
Administration Building.
Governor Dan K. Moore and the
members of the Board of Trus
tees, President William Friday
and his staff, and the chancellors
of the other three branches of the
state university system were
present for the occasion.
Chip Wright, president of Circle
K, served as host. He said that
the original flags would be placed
in the Archives here and that re
placements would be secured for
daily use.
Thad Eure presented the state
flag to the University and reminded
the two hundred strong audience of
students and faculty members that
North Carolina’s flag was “the only
flag in the nation that carries dates
prior to the Declaration of Indepen
dence on July 4, 1776.”
Dr. Herbert Hechenbleikner, of
the Biology Department here, pre
sented the national flag on behalf
of Representative Charles R.
Jonas.
Three members of the N. C.
Color Guard ran up the flags for
the first time, and a bugle was
sounded as the national flag rea
ched the summit of the pole.
Dr. Loy Witherspoon, Uni
versity chaplain, closed the cere
mony with a moving prayer.
