Cardplayers Blues
Card-playing on campus has become as much a part of the
routine at the Union as game room participation.
Most of the card games have taken place in the area right
outside the cafeteria and adjacent to the stairs.
A group of six or so students were quite stirred up when asked
to move their card game from the Union lounge to the area set
up explicitly for card playing.
We were approached by these students who declared that they
should be allowed to play cards anywhere they chose. They ex
plained that all of the tables set up for card playing were m use
at the time so they had to find another spot—and they chose the
Union lounge. , , j
According to Dean of Students, Donald M. MacKay, who asked
the players to leave the lounge, that carpeted area is one of the
few really nice clean, unworn places on campus. It is of impor
tance to him and others who are strongly concerned with the
development of this campus to maintain the Union lounge p a
place tor conversation, relaxing, singing, etc. — the various
uses for which it was originally designed.
In the area outside the cafeteria entrance where card playing
usually takes place, a consistent problem of messiness has existed.
The ruling that cards cannot be played in the Umon lounge
or lobby applies to all card players - not just the messy ones.
And because of the fact that this rule equally applies to all, we
wonder why another group of card players was not asked to leave
the Union lounge on Friday afternoon.
We understand the card players’ wishes, but the position of
administration is also clear. The Union lounge is everyone’s
lounge. Card games at school are notoriously long - and to the
extent that players tie up Union facilities for hours at a stretch,
they may be infringing on someone else’ privileges. There is no
real reason for this to occur, since an area for card playing does
exist.
A few words should be devoted to the protestors’ methods of
revealing their discontent. One move we especially liked was a
sit-in card -playing demonstration near the occupied card tables,
accompanied by a petition on bathroom tissue which declared
their wishes.
But other moves made were not so wise- like repeatedly begin
ning games in the lounge after having been asked to move.
Dean MacKay has said that extra tables will be placed down
stairs as needed tor card games. So that should settle this dis
pute.

Disapointed

By RODNEY SMITH
The students and faculty of this
campus are slowly but surelypay-
ing for additional parking space
from their own pockets. It was
announced at the beginning of the
year that everyone would have to
pay a six dollar parking fee at the
beginning of this semester. This
includes the faculty members.
Where else in North Carolina do
professors have to pay to be allow
ed to drive to school?
Furthermore, an additional fee
of one dollar was levied to buy
extra parking stickers if a stu
dent drives more than one car to
school or if he loses his first
sticker. Many students have tried
to place their Spring stickers over
the Fall one only to discover that
the adhesive substance on the back
of the stickers does not stick to
paper. And the way a student
usually comes to this unfortunate
realization is by finding a little
parking ticket under his wind
shield wiper, looks at his rear
bumper, and finds no Spring
sticker. This chain of events costs
the student two dollars—one to pay
off the ticket and one to buy
another sticker.
The Student Court now has a pUe
of parking stickers that looks like
the original manuscript for “The
Hornet’s Nest.” And itgrows stiU,
due to the overzealous execution of
the duty of issuing these tickets.
This is carrying things a bit
too far. If nothing is done through
official channels, even the phleg
matic student body here may arise
in protest soon. Afterall, it’stheir

The senior education students
have received their student teach
ing assignments a full seventeen
days before they are expected to
report for full-time observation
and teaching practice at their res
pective levels of education. There
was a great deal of surprise and
no small amount of disappointment
among many of the secondary edu
cation students who have been
assigned to junior high school des
pite their preferences and pre
paration for teaching in senior high
school.
The Education Department has
explained that they were not res
ponsible for the assignments, that
the various school systems made
the assignments, and that Char
