History Club Meets Elects Officers Cross Country UNC-C’s new five mile cross-country course has just been completed. Coach Fleming and several members of the team designed and constructed the course. The course is located in the valley behind the campus and was selected because it is away from campus and construction. It also has the rugged terrain necessary for conditioning. The project began in June when the Coach and several runners explored the valley area and mapped out a prospective course. Problems soon arose, however, and construction was delayed for a few weeks. Three streams had to be crossed, and several sections of barbed-wire fencing had to be removed. It took five Saturday afternoons to build the bridges which are each over twenty teet long and several afternoons were spent building gates for the fences and clearing out a halfmile path through the woods. Everyone spent many more hours clearing out stumps and hauling in gravel to fill some swamp areas. Many man hours have been spent building one of the newest-cross-country courses in the state. The course was constructed to provide a place on cam pus for students to participate in athletics and for UNC-C to have meets on campus for our students and faculty. Everyone who has seen the course agrees that it is one of the finest in the area and should aid in the development of an excellent cross-country program at UNC-C. New Amphitheater As most of you know, UNC-C now has an amphitheater, or at least the basic structures of one. Wlien school was out in the spring, the construction work had barly begun. The framework of the amphitheater is the rows of concrete treads which metal chairs are placed upon, the stage, the three bridges crossing the moat, and a liglit and sound booth at the rear of the tiers. The amphitheater is still in need of things which will enhance the natural beauty of the forrest enclosed area. Among the things lacking are ivy and grass for the slopves to prevent further errosion. Dr. Cone hopes to eventually have permanent seats to take the place of the presently used metal chairs. The chancellor has said that the amphitheater will gradually be improved as additional funds for it come in. It is worth noting that the entire project was done without cost to the state of North Carolina or to the University. Everything was donated to the school. INC9tr»«*TIB DOWNTOWN 409 SOUTH TRYON ST. FREEDOM VILLAGE IN THE COLLINS COMPANY COTSWOLD IN THE COLLINS COMPANY It may just be that the only organism on campus still generating brainwaves is the Histoty Club- and in the age of transplants, that’s important. And in case you haven’t heard, the History Club has become interdenominational-open to all comers regardless of major. Membership doesn’t cost a cent and the only requiiement is that you come to most of the meetings. Like picnics? The history club has those. How about student faculty softball games? They have those too. Even free food and stuff. The History club also had a small role in the recent degree requirements modification-they sponsored a faculty-student forum tliat must’ve had some effect on the outcome. Rick Arnett was elected President and Mike Combs was given the VP slot. Wliat was really remarkable about the election was that it was a real election-Mike got the position on the second ballot. When was the last time you saw a real election on campus? Don’t answer that. If there’s anything unique about our History faculty its that they seem to care about what the students want and say. If you’ve got any suggestions about things you’d like changed or added to the curiculum. come to the History Club and talk to the bosses. Dr. Rieke and his associates seem open to suggestions-all they need are suggestions. Most students don’t seem to care. They ve got several ideas for upcomia, semesters, one of them , seminar-type course for freshmaj, I don’t know about you, but|, would’ve jumped at the chance to take a course that required a litt], more than rote memorization. And 1 think 1 still would. The club itself is busy wju ideas, among ^ them a boq exchange (lake *tl\at bookstore!j an Exam File, (take tliai professor!), and a;special sectioi in the library devoted to boolj donated by student’s (take tim but bring it back). So what does all of this mean’l It means the History Coub i| ALIVE and hiding in C-200, butr' wont’t be hiding for long. Con-' to the next meeting and see. Dr Schul Assumes Geography Post -A new major in geography will help the University of North Carolina at Charlotte in its plans to become lan urban research and service oriented institution. His Department will develop a strong emphasis on economic geography with a concentration on urban-regional planning, according to Dr. Norman Schul, chairman of the Department of Georgraphy and Geology and of the Division of Social and Behavioral Sciences. He said thal the new program has four major educational objectives: 1. To help contribute to a liberal education. On Campus This week’s installment of “On Campus” will feature the now-well-known McEniry’s Corner. The idea of McEniry’s Corner is to give students and 2. To provide those planning to teach social studies with geography as a field of concentration. 3. To prepare students for professional work in governmental departments and agencies, city and regional planning and area analysis of resources, services and markets. 4. To prepare students for graduate work. Job opportunities for gcogra'phy graduates are booming, according to Dr. Schul. He said that thi Central Intelligence Agency and the National Security Agency are constantly seeking geographers. And, he said, a majority of the planners and personnel working in urban and regional planning agencies have a degree in geography. Businesses, BTTiTPiTB'ii'B^'wtnnnnmnnm states and cities doing iiulusiti location analysis are al employers of geographers. \ these demands for non-leaclu geographers have in turn d-aiiia off many teachers of geograpj opening up opportunities in tl classroom.
