idiu Page 2 The Carolina Journal Wednesday March 13, 1968 (Continued from Page 1) Deadline Makes Desired Changes Impossible nesday, February 28. The resolution reads as follows: “Resolved that the Publications Board be asked to consider pub lishing senior pictures in a sepa rate section of the yearbook andto recognize the special status of seniors by printing their pictures in a slightly larger size than those of underclassmen.” Also suggested by Seniors but not included in the resolution was that each Senior’s degree be spe cified by his name along with a list of activities he had partici pated in during his univer sity career. A key factor in the ensuing debate was Kimbrell’s publisher- set deadline for the class section of the annual. She said it’s date was last Saturday, March 9, and that she could not meet it if she decided to rearrange the section. Kimbrell said failure to meet this deadline would result in penal ties for the annual staff, hi regard to these penalties, she com mented, “1 feel sure that not only would the first proofs be returned considerably later than scheduled, but also each successive deadline date and therefore the final pub lication date would be delayed.” “For each deadline delay, a fine is charged, which our yearbook cannot afford without a gread deal of sacrifice.” Senior board members said they were unaware of the change in the class section format until the Feb ruary 28 meeting and that they should have been notified earlier. Kimbrell, reading from a pre- Pfeiffer Approves New Approach To Arts Misenheimer, N.C.- (l.P.) - A new approach to undergraduate liberal arts education has been approved by the Pfeiffer College faculty and Board of Trustees. The program, called AIM, will become effective for students en tering in the tall of 1968. The name “AIM” is derived from an academic-incentive- motivation program centered around a highly personalized re lationship between students and their major professors. It places stress upon independent student study and research, provides the opportunity for students to set their own academic pae, and encour ages creative thinking. Under the specific guidelines approved by the facuity, based upon recommendations from the college’s Curriculum Committee, the AIM program would: Place great emphasis on semi nar and tutorial teaching methods, library centered assignments, and individual research and study pro jects rather than on the tradi tional three lectures-a-week common to many college class rooms. Replace the traditional “letter grading system” with an “incen tive” measuring plan which would recognize quantity as well as qua lity of academic work done. Stress flexible class meeting schedules and approaches rather than rigid 50 minute class periods. Abandon traditional general course requirements for all stu dents in such areas as history, English, mathematics, and lan guages, while offering wide elec tive course choices.

Yearbook advisor Miss Pat Harris asked Kimbrell whether she would make the requested change in the class section it she had the time. “I would probably change the size of the pictures and group the Seniors in a separate section,” she answered. In regard to why she decided to group the class pictures as she did, Kimbrell said, “All classes pictured represent only 675 of approximately 2000 students at UNC-C in the fall of 1967. The Seniors are approximately 20% of the student body and those who had pictures made are only 13% of the 675. “Secondly, the Seniors , if grouped alone would fall on four consecutive pages which would look ridiculous when compared to the remainder of the classes as a for photos. Hius, he maintained, ^cniors showed they are more interested in the yearbook than the student body as a whole. Kimbrell replied, “I think if Seniors were that interested, they should have turned out 100%.” Another pertinent section of Kimbrell’s statement read, “I was elected as editor of the year book to call the shots as I saw them. My position requires that I make all final decisions determin ing content of the yearbook. In the case of the class section, I felt it should appear as an index- type reference section so that the remainder of the book could be devoted to more attractive and pleasing pictures, i.e., candid pic- tures. Since this is the way I saw this matter, I handled the edition of this section accor dingly.” Many Seniors remained dis gruntled after the pub board meet ing adjourned. Friday afternoon, Mike Car michael said, “We (Seniors) feel that something has been sneaked by us deliberately. This may not be the case, however, considering the facts we have now, it would be difficultto conceive otherwise.’’ A. K. Psi Holds Car Wash, Spring Rush John L.

An index of those not pictured adds additional ex pense and pages, (and) does not look very nice. The Circle K Buzz Book does an adequate job of listing and furthermore, no one ever reads a list of people not pictured.” Carmichael pointed outthe 45.2% of the Seniors who had their pic tures made represents a size able amount more than the 33.75% of the entire student body who sat The Eta Omega Chapter of Alpha Kappa Psi will sponsor a car wash behind the cafeteria on Thursday, March 14 from 8:15 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. in the after noon and again on Friday March 15 from 1:00 p.m. until 4:00 p.m. For $1.50 the fraternity will wash the outside of the car, dry it down, sweep out the inside, and clean all glasses.
