Wayfarers Return to Charlotte Campus

(Journal Staff Writer)
The Wayfarers, a unique
folk-singing trio that really strums
out the songs of our time, return
to UNC-C on September 25 at
11:30 a.m. in the Parquet Room
for a free concert.
In early 1963 The Wayfarers
made their premiere at San
Francisco’s reknowned Hungri i
Since their emergence into the
field of folk they have to this date
released three albums on the RCA
Victor label, and have made
appearances at major colleges and
universities, as well as many night
clubs, across the United States.
Combining the talents of Ray
Blouin on the 5-string banjo.
Corky Hart on guitar, and comic
David Hull on bass. The Wayfarers
are vanguarding the resurgance of
folk music that has been long
awaited.
Says CASHBOX, “...the
lads...use humor to point up
values... the crew does not
attempt to carbon-copy other foU
singers but makes a series of
distinctive, powerpacked
individual statements.” Jac];
Carney of radio station KSFO in
San Francisco in a letter to RCjf
Victor records says of The
Wayfarers, “...l...feel that these
boys have more talent than any
young group that 1 have ever
seen...there can be no
doubt...after seeing or hearingtheu
that they are destined to be one
of the greatest...”
The Wayfarers, singing humoi
and satire, or softly strumming
ballads of love and the memory of
lost love, are a group of talented
young men, once heard cannot be
forgotten.
Chavis
Resigns
Poliak Assumes Physics Chair
A chairman for the Physics
Department and three other new
faculty members were appointed
Friday by the University of North
Carc'’na at Charlotte.
The actions were approved by
the Executive Committee of the
University of North Carolina
Board of Trustees.
Dr. Victor Louis Poliak was
appointed associate professor and
chairman of the Department of
Physics.
A native of Vienna. A ',..ia. Dr.
Poliak holds the BS degree from
Case Institute of Technology and
the Ph.D. degree from Washington
University.
During the past year he has
been visiting assistant professor at
Case Western Reserve University.
He has also been assistant
professor at Oklahoma State
University and has taught at the
University of Houston. From
1960-1962 he was senior physicist
at the Schlumberger Corp. of
Houston.
Dolan Ray Hinson was
appointed assistant professor in
the Department of Economics and
Business Administration. His rank
is contingent upon the completion
of the Ph.D. degree for which he
is a candidate at the University of
South Carolina. He holds the BS
from Pfeiffer College and the
MBA from New York University.
He has been assistant professor at
Pfeiffer during 1967-68.
James Baxter Linder has been
appointed assistant professor of
mathematics. He holds the BS and
MA degrees from the University
of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
and has been assistant professor at
Guilford College.
Walter John Roth was
appointed assistant professor of
mathematics with rank contingent
upon the completion of the Ph.D.
degree at the University of New
Mexico. He holds the BS from the
University of Michigan and the
MS from the University of New
Mexico. He ha been associated
with the systems divisions of the
Sandia Corporation and the
Bendix C aporation.
As most returning students
already know, there has been a
turnover in the Union officers.
Ben Chavis, who was elected to
the chairmanship of the student
union in March resigned in August
because it was discovered that he
did not maintain tb- quality point
average necessary for the position.
Bobbe Berry, vice-chairman of the
union, will take over the office.
After the resignation of Mr.
Chavis, the questions arising of
course, are: “will there be any
changes in contracts or plans in
the union?” and “who will fill the
now-vacant vice-chairmanship?”
First of all there will not be any
notable changes because of two
reasons. Most of the
entertainment contracts have been
made by th' Social Committee
which is heaaed b;> Linda Craven
and Homer Gaddis. Also, little
change has been made because
Ben and Bobby worked closely
together and in accord with the
programming board on most
decisions.
In answer to the qu^ .ion of
who will fill the vacancy of
vice-chairman. Dean McKay
informed us that the que ‘ion has
been broug’’* to the attention of
the Student Legislature. The
decision was to have the governing
board fill the vacancy, rather than
hold an election just for one
office.
These are the facts. There will
be few changes and the governing
board will fill the vacancy.
University
Council
Formed
The new University Counci
met for the first time on Monday
September 9, 1968 to formulate
an operating structure for the
coming year. The Council began
to take shape in the minds of Dr,
Colvard, Cone, and McEniry and
SGA President Bill Billups during
the summer months and has
become a reality for the purpose
of facilitating better
communication among the
different segments of the
University. The Council is
composed of Chancellor Colvard

This Eleclioii Year
THE LULL BEFORE THE
STORM an editorial by William G.
Allen
Now that the Chicago
catastrophe has passed, and its
news-worthiness has withered, a
cold lull seems to hover over the
political arena. That Democratic
calamity created a maze which has
silenced even the most astute
political prophets, at least
temporarily. McCarthy and
Wallace have brouglit about
riddles which will not likely to be
solved until after the votes have
been counted in November.
McCarthy has broken with the
Democratic Party and has bitterly
vowed to support no one in the
coming election- a decision which
thereby increases the value of the
stock held by Nixon and Wallace.
Hubert Humphrey has tried to
appease McCarthy’s dissident
supporters by picking up a
Northern
Hubert Humphrey has tried to
appease McCarthy’s dissident
supporters by picking up a
Northern liberal (Muskie) as a
running mate, and by promising
them a “New Day” and perhaps a
new Vietnam policy. By
condemning violence, “whatever
the course”, he also sought to
woo the multitudes of Democrats
disturbed by the breakdown of
law and order across the nation.
At this point it would be a

The University Council will be
conducted on an informal basis
for the purpose of discussing
topics which may not be official
in content at the time of the
discussion. The Chancellor hopes
that the Council will not only
arrive at solutions for
problematical situations, but also
serve to prevent many of the
problems which arise from any
unnecessary lack of
communication. All phases are
represented on the Council and
provisions have been made to
bring non-members into meetings
to provide information of a highly
localized or technical nature.

National Teacher Exam Offered
advai
ithe
PRINCETON, NEW JERSEY,
September 16. College seniors
preparing to teach school may
take the National Teacher
Examinations on any of the four
different test dates announced by
Educational Testing Service, a
nonprofit, educational
organization which prepares and
administers this testing program.
New dates for the testing of
prospective teachers are:
November 9, 1968, and February
1, April 12, and July 19, 1969.
The tests will be given at nearly
500 locations throughout the
United States, ETS said.
Results of the National Teacher
[Examinations are used by many
large school districts as one of
several factors in the selection of
new teachers and by several states
for certification or licensing of
teachers. Sonic colleges also
require all seniors preparing to
teach to take the examinations.
The school systems and state
departments of education which
use the examination results are
designated in the Bulletin of
Information for Candidates.
On each full day of testing,
prospective teachers may take the
Common Examinations, which
measure their professional
preparation and general cultural
background, and a Teaching Area
Examination which measures
mastery of the subject they
expect to teach.
Prospective teachers should
contact the school systems in
which they seek employment, or
their colleges, for specific advice
on which examinations to take
and on which dates they should
be taken.
The Bulletin of Information for
Candidates contains a list of test
centers, and information about
the examinations, as well as J
Registration Form. Copies may be
obtained from college placement
officers, school personnel
departments, or directly from
National Teacher Examinations,
